The top two classes that organize the most quickly and neatly will be awarded our safety prize. At 2: 00 p. m., before the end of the school day, Headmaster Jones will announce the winners of the recent charity competition. Over 100 students, including myself, have participated in gathering donations and funding from people and businesses in the community to help our school. We’ve all seen this school suffer from a lack of funding during the recent economic crash. But thanks to an admirable group of student body members, we’ll start to turn that problem around. The top ten students to bring in funding for the school will each receive a prize for their contribution, but this award will be kept a surprise until 2: 00 p. m. For now, that’s all from me. The next speaker is your headmaster with important information on this week’s storm and our homecoming football game. Go Eagles! 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Nature embraces us with beauty. Below, you will learn a list of famous natural reserves. Natural Park of the Coral Sea New Caledonia is famous for its beautiful nature, diverse species and wonderful coastal ecosystems. The Natural Park of the Coral Sea safeguards large marine (海洋的) habitats vital to the inhabitants, wildlife, and environmental protection of the territories in the south western Pacific region. The Natural Park of the Coral Sea in New Caledonia is a shelter for sharks, whales and turtles. Unique world-class diving locations can be found in the Natural Park of the Coral Sea. The Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument Located in the central Pacific Ocean, the Pacific Remote Islands Monument area includes seven islands. There are 165 identified oceanic plates in the sites of diversity and species richness. It is one of the most beautiful tropical marine habitats. The island hosts corals, fish, shellfish, marine mammals, seabirds, land birds, insects, and the flora (植物群) existing nowhere else on the planet. South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands Marine Protected Area (SGSSI-MPA) SGSSI-MPA is a vast natural preservation and conservation area in the far southern Atlantic Ocean. Due to the isolated geography and freezing weather throughout the year, few inhabitants live in this location. The marine reserve’s laws in this location are highly restrictive, with no commercial fishing permitted. Coral Sea Marine Park The park is one of the world’s largest marine parks and is located off the coastlines outside the Great Barrier Reef. Coral reefs, deep-sea plains and canyons (峡谷) are among the unique ecosystems found in the Coral Sea Marine Park. Additionally, the marine park preserves sixteen bottom ecosystems, including canyons and plains. It consists of 34 larger reef zones and 15, 000 square kilometers of shallow reef systems followed by much marine life. 21. What is special about the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument? A. Shellfish. B. Rich species. C. Unique flora. D. Seven islands. 22. Why do few people live in SGSSI-MPA? A The climate is too extreme. B. It’s a large preservation area. C. Commercial fishing is banned. D. It’s far from the Atlantic Ocean. 23. What do the four reserves have in common? A. They are in the Pacific Ocean. B. They are marine reserves. C. They have some canyons. D. They contain plains. 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是应用文。文章介绍了四个海洋保护区。它们都非常独特，拥有品类繁多的生物群。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The island hosts corals, fish, shellfish, marine mammals, seabirds, land birds, insects, and the flora (植物群) existing nowhere else on the planet.(岛上有珊瑚、鱼类、贝类、海洋哺乳动物、海鸟、陆鸟、昆虫和地球上其他地方没有的植物群)”可知，The Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument的特别之处在于它独一无二的植物群。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“Due to the isolated geography and freezing weather throughout the year, few inhabitants live in this location.(由于孤立的地理位置和全年寒冷的天气，很少有居民住在这个地方)”可知，很少有人住在SGSSI-MPA，因为地理位置偏远，气候太极端。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据四个保护区的名称“Natural Park of the Coral Sea(珊瑚海自然公园)”，“The Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument(太平洋偏远岛屿海洋国家纪念馆)”，“South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands Marine Protected Area (SGSSI-MPA)(南乔治亚岛和南桑威奇群岛海洋保护区)”和“Coral Sea Marine Park(珊瑚海海洋公园)”和段中内容可知，这四个地方都是海洋保护区。故选B项。 B Omar Vazquez grew up in poverty on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. He watched his single mother struggle to put food on the table, and today the memory inspires him to help those in need. When an invasive (入侵的) seaweed called sargassum showed up on Mexico’s Caribbean beaches, Omar looked past the matter of it all and saw an opportunity to help others. Sargassum is not dangerous, but it has an unpleasant smell and can become so thick that it keeps people from entering the water. Mexico has experienced record-setting amounts of the seaweed in recent years, and it has made its way to Florida’s beaches as well. Experts say there could be as much as 100 tons of sargassum blocking Mexican shorelines in 2023. With tourism dollars at risk, officials and locals alike were eager to remove the seaweed, but only Omar saw its true potential. The professional gardener organized a beach cleanup that provided jobs for about 300 local families, but he knew there was more to do. Since people’s attitude towards the seaweed reminded him of his own life experiences, he decided to become an agent (推动者) for change. When sargassum started arriving, everyone was complaining. “I wanted to make something good out of something everyone saw as bad,” Omar explained. In 2018 Omar found a way to turn sargassum into building blocks that he calls Sargablock. He creates these blocks by mixing 40% sargassum with other materials like clay, then putting them in a block-forming machine and baking them in the sun for days. The end result is an organic, sustainable, and ecologically friendly building material that experts say could last for 120 years. To date, Omar’s company, Bluegreen Mexico, has used 700 tons of sargassum to build low-income housing for those in need. Omar said he would take on more projects, and donate more houses to single mothers like his own mom. 24. What can be learned from paragraph 1? A. Omar’s family often assisted people in need. B. Sargassum originated on the Caribbean beaches. C. Omar’s experience in childhood has influenced him much. D. Omar has met a lot of generous people since he was young. 25. How did most people react to the increasing sargassum? A. They didn’t take it seriously. B. They were anxious to clear it up. C. They viewed it as new materials. D. They were excited to see a grand scene. 26. Which words can best describe Omar? A. Honest and ambitious. B. Strong-willed and confident. C. Quick-thinking and humorous. D. Sympathetic and innovative. 27. What does the author mainly want to tell us through Omar’s success? A. It’s never too old to learn. B. Love shines every dark corner. C. Solutions can be obtained from problems. D. Heroes arise from humble beginnings. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一种叫做马尾藻的入侵海藻对当地人们的生活产生了不好的影响，奥马尔·巴斯克斯确看到了这种海藻的潜力，在帮助清理海藻的同时，决定把所有人都认为不好的东西变成好东西，最终的结果是一种有机的、可持续的、生态友好的建筑材料诞生了并建立了公司，为有需要的人建造了低收入住房。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“He watched his single mother struggle to put food on the table, and today the memory inspires him to help those in need. When an invasive seaweed called sargassum showed up on Mexico’s Caribbean beaches, Omar looked past the matter of it all and saw an opportunity to help others.(他看到他的单身母亲挣扎着养家糊口，今天的记忆激励他去帮助那些需要帮助的人。当一种叫做马尾藻的入侵海藻出现在墨西哥的加勒比海海滩上时，奥马尔看到了一个帮助别人的机会)”可知，奥马尔的童年经历对他影响很大。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“With tourism dollars at risk, officials and locals alike were eager to remove the seaweed, but only Omar saw its true potential.(由于旅游业收入面临风险，官员和当地人都急于清除海藻，但只有奥马尔看到了它的真正潜力)”可知，他们急于清除日益增多的马尾藻。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When an invasive (入侵的) seaweed called sargassum showed up on Mexico’s Caribbean beaches, Omar looked past the matter of it all and saw an opportunity to help others.(当一种叫做马尾藻的入侵海藻出现在墨西哥的加勒比海海滩上时，奥马尔看到了一个帮助别人的机会)”、第三段“Since people’s attitude towards the seaweed reminded him of his own life experiences, he decided to become an agent (推动者) for change.(由于人们对海藻的态度让他想起了自己的生活经历，他决定成为一名变革的推动者)”和文章第五段“In 2018, Omar found a way to turn sargassum into building blocks that he calls Sargablock. He creates these blocks by mixing 40% sargassum with other materials like clay, then putting them in a block-forming machine and baking them in the sun for days. The end result is an organic, sustainable, and ecologically friendly building material that experts say could last for 120 years.(2018年，奥马尔找到了一种方法，把马尾藻变成了他称之为“Sargablock”的积木。他将40%的马尾藻和粘土等其他材料混合在一起，然后把它们放在积木机里，在太阳下烤上几天，就能制作出这些积木。最终的结果是一种有机的、可持续的、生态友好的建筑材料，专家说这种材料可以使用120年)”可知，奥马尔积极帮助别人并且将马尾藻变成了环保的材料。由此推知，奥马尔是富有同情心的和有创新精神的人。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要讲述了一种叫做马尾藻的入侵海藻对当地人们的生活产生了不好的影响，奥马尔·巴斯克斯确看到了这种海藻的潜力，在帮助清理海藻的同时，决定把所有人都认为不好的东西变成好东西，最终的结果是一种有机的、可持续的、生态友好的建筑材料诞生了并建立了公司，为有需要的人建造了低收入住房。由此推知，作者想要通过奥马尔的成功告诉我们解决方案可以从问题中获得。故选C。 C When you enjoy your morning cup of tea, you are probably not aware that those tea leaves can mean injury, or even death, for Asian elephants wandering Indian tea gardens. In the Indian state of Assam, growing numbers of tea farms are destroying the Asian elephant’s habitats and endangering their population. Much of the forest land where tea is grown in Assam is flat and thus farmers must dig drainage trenches or small channels to prevent water from accumulating and hurting the plants. The trenches, however, can be death traps for the elephants. Since the elephants need to use tea plantations as landmarks when traveling in forests, they almost unavoidably have to move through the farms. Moreover, because there are fewer humans around, pregnant females often use tea-growing areas as safe shelters to give birth. But baby elephants, still not used to rough ground may easily fall into the trenches and get hurt. Once injured, they might not be able to climb out. When mothers try to dig their babies out, both may be trapped in thick mud, even be killed. Furthermore, elephants are known to resist leaving their sick or dying behind, and a group may stay at a trench with a trapped baby for hours, unwilling to move on until all hope is lost. Is there possibility for elephants to live in harmony with the booming tea business? Elephant Friendly Tea is an organization that takes the initiative to make it possible. The organization encourages consumers to choose brands that take an active part in elephants protection, and has established a certification program to reward tea growers who are doing it right. Until now, only smaller tea brands have been certified, but awareness is growing. The organization believes that people may be encouraged to buy elephant-friendly brands when they know more about the risk tea can cause to these endangered animals. 28. Why do farmers in Assam dig trenches? A. To trap elephants. B. To mark boundaries. C. To protect tea trees. D. To expand tea farms. 29. What can we say about baby elephants? A. They get stuck by the sharp branches of the tea trees. B. They have difficulty moving around the uneven fields. C. They might miss the landmarks while travelling in forests. D. They fail to find a safe shelter when climbing out of trenches. 30. What does “it” underlined in the last paragraph refer to? A. Encouraging consumers to choose high-quality brands. B. Rewarding tea growers for protecting the environment. C. Promoting elephant-friendly trenches and organizations. D. Creating a win-win situation for elephants and tea farms. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Trenches Pose Threats to Elephants B. Habitat Loss Affects Endangered Animals C. Growth of Tea Gardens Benefits Plantation D. Farms Sponsor Environmental Organizations 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了茶叶种植对亚洲象的生存环境造成威胁及Elephant Friendly Tea组织为保证大象安全和茶叶生意的发展做出的努力。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Much of the forest land where tea is grown in Assam is flat and thus farmers must dig drainage trenches or small channels to prevent water from accumulating and hurting the plants.”（大部分阿萨姆邦种植茶叶的林地都是平坦的，因此农民必须挖排水沟或小渠道，以防止雨水积聚和伤害植物。）可知，茶农挖沟渠是为了避免雨水集聚而损害茶树。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But baby elephants, still not used to rough ground may easily fall into the trenches and get hurt.”（但是小象还不习惯粗糙的地面，很容易掉进沟渠里受伤。）可知，在不平整的地面上行走，小象面临许多困难，很容易掉进沟渠里。故选B项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Is there possibility for elephants to live in harmony with the booming tea business? Elephant Friendly Tea is an organization that takes the initiative to make it possible.”（大象有可能与蓬勃发展的茶业和谐相处吗?Elephant Friendly Tea是一个主动采取行动使it成为可能的组织。）可知，该组织采取行动，致力于保证大象安全和茶叶生意的发展，此处it指代上文提到的“elephants to live in harmony with the booming tea business”，即大象保护和茶业发展的双赢局面。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“In the Indian state of Assam, growing numbers of tea farms are destroying the Asian elephant’s habitats and endangering their population.”（在印度阿萨姆邦，越来越多的茶园正在破坏亚洲象的栖息地，并危及它们的数量。）及“The trenches, however, can be death traps for the elephants.”（然而，沟渠对大象来说可能是死亡陷阱。）并结合下文茶农挖的沟渠对大象的具体危害的描述可知，本文主要介绍了茶叶种植尤其是茶园内的沟渠对亚洲象的生存环境造成了威胁。故选A项。 D Farming is destroying the planet, but there could be a much more environmentally friendly way to feed ourselves: using renewable energy to turn carbon dioxide into food. “This is becoming a reality,” says Pasi Vainikka at Solar Foods, a company that is building the first commercial-scale factory that will be able to make food directly from CO2. There can be no doubt that immediate attention to find greener ways to grow food is required. Conventional agriculture, including organic farming, causes damage to the environment in many ways. It requires a lot of land, leading to habitat loss and deforestation. It is also the source of a third of all greenhouse gas emissions and releases other pollutants. It isn’t very efficient, either. Crops typically transform less than 1 percent of light energy into usable biomass (生物量). Instead, Solar Foods plans to avoid photosynthesis (光合作用) altogether, and grow bacteria that use hydrogen as their source of energy. At the factory, renewable electricity will be used to split water to produce hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen will be added to large containers, where the bacteria grow, along with CO2 and ammonia (氨气). The end result will be a yellow powder called Solein. Solein is made of bacterial cells and is up to 70 percent protein. It can be used as an ingredient in all kinds of foods. “We are aiming at replacing animal-sourced proteins, which we think have the highest environmental impact,” says Vainikka. Compared with plant crops, Solein will use 100 times less water per kilogram of protein produced, 20 times less land and emit a fifth as much CO2, according to Solar Foods. There are other benefits, too: factories could be situated anywhere in the world and production won’t be affected by weather conditions. “With Solar Foods and other companies scaling up their systems, this is truly beginning a new era of agriculture,” says Dorian Leger at Connectomix Bio in Germany. “I think these trends are exciting and will help bend the carbon curve as well as lead to improved global food supply security.” 32. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning conventional agriculture in paragraph 2? A. To demonstrate its influence on crops. B. To compare different farming methods. C. To highlight the urgent need for alternatives. D. To provide an example of agricultural types. 33. What is mainly presented in paragraph 3 concerning Solein? A. Its production process. B. Its storage condition. C. Its ingredient materials. D. Its investment potential. 34. All of the following are the features of Solein except __________. A. it is protein-rich B. its production is weather sensitive C. it is resource-efficient D. its production is location-independent 35. Which statement would Dorian Leger probably agree with? A. The use of Solein may help reduce carbon emissions. B. Solein will dominate the agricultural development. C. Solein can help achieve global food safety. D. The prospect of Solein remains to be seen. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了芬兰食品技术公司Solar Foods推出的空气蛋白Solein的生产过程及其应用的好处，并指出Solein可能是解决相关环境问题的最佳方法。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Conventional agriculture, including organic farming, causes damage to the environment in many ways. It requires a lot of land, leading to habitat loss and deforestation. It is also the source of a third of all greenhouse gas emissions and releases other pollutants. It isn’t very efficient, either.(传统农业，包括有机农业，在许多方面对环境造成破坏。它需要大量的土地，导致栖息地丧失和森林砍伐。它也是三分之一的温室气体排放和其他污染物的来源。这也不是很有效。)”可知，作者在第二段提到传统农业的目的是为了凸显新方法的迫切需要，故选C。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Instead, Solar Foods plans to avoid photosynthesis (光合作用) altogether, and grow bacteria that use hydrogen as their source of energy. At the factory, renewable electricity will be used to split water to produce hydrogen and oxygen.(相反，太阳能食品公司计划完全避免光合作用，并培养以氢作为能量来源的细菌。在工厂里，可再生电力将用于分解水以产生氢气和氧气。)”可知，第三段主要介绍了空气蛋白Solein生产的过程，故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“There are other benefits, too: factories could be situated anywhere in the world and production won’t be affected by weather conditions.(还有其他好处：工厂可以设在世界任何地方，生产不会受到天气条件的影响。)”可知，空气蛋白Solein的生产不受地理位置、气候条件的限制，B项“its production is weather sensitive(它的生产对天气很敏感)”表述错误。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I think these trends are exciting and will help bend the carbon curve as well as lead to improved global food supply security.(我认为这些趋势是令人兴奋的，将有助于弯曲碳曲线，并导致改善全球粮食供应安全。)”可知，Dorian Leger可能同意的是Solein的使用可能有助于减少碳排放。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There has been a very serious decline in the numbers of shallow-water fish as a result of overfishing. People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic. ____36____ Conservation measures will have to be put in place if these deep-sea fish are to survive. Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent. ____37____ Many species could well disappear completely if the present trend continues. These are species that have been swimming in our oceans for hundreds of millions of years. The problem is emphasized by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less than twenty years. Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years. ____38____ The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones. ____39____ The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits. The damage done by overfishing goes beyond the sea environment. Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry. ____40____ Measures must be taken to not only conserve ecosystems, but also sustain livelihoods and ensure food security. A. Billions of people rely on fish for protein. B. Many people now choose not to eat deep-sea fish. C. Unfortunately, their reproduction rate is very low. D. This puts them in the category of “critically endangered”. E. None of these facts has been taken into account by the fishing industry. F. Overfishing is a major cause of decline in populations of ocean wildlife. G. This has resulted in a sharp decline in the numbers of many of the species caught. 【答案】36. G 37. D 38. C 39. E 40. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了由于过度捕捞浅水鱼类的数量已经严重下降，以及由此导致的后果。 【36题详解】 根据上文“People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic.”（人们仍然想吃鱼，因此渔业必须寻找其他来源，特别是大西洋的深水区）推知，选项承接上文说明以上做法导致的不良影响。故G选项“这导致许多被捕获物种的数量急剧下降”切题。故选G项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent.”（对五种这样的物种的研究表明，数量下降了87%到98%）可知，数量下降到了一定程度，我们便称为它们为“极度濒危”物种。故D选项“这使得它们被归为“极度濒危”物种”切题，this指代上文提到的“numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent.”。故选D项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years.”（深海鱼类需要很长时间繁殖，通常可以活很多年）根据下文“The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.”（这些鱼的平均尺寸也在下降，其中一个物种的平均尺寸下降了57%。这一点值得特别关注，因为大鱼往往比小鱼生育更多的后代）可知，选项承接上下文说明深海鱼类的繁殖率非常低。故C选项“不幸的是，它们的繁殖率非常低”切题。故选C项。 【39题详解】 根据下文“The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.”（深海鱼类被捕获，仿佛它们是沙丁鱼和鲱鱼等快速繁殖的鱼类。这就像把大象当作繁殖速度飞快的兔子杀死一样）可知，渔业忽略了一些物种繁殖速度慢的事实。故E选项“渔业没有考虑到这些事实”故选E项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry.”（数百万人以渔业为生）可知，选项与上文为并列关系，说明渔业对人的重要作用。故A选项“数十亿人依赖鱼类获取蛋白质”切题。故选A项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Maryland fourth grader Molly Sampson didn’t ask for typical new year’s gifts this year. ____41____, the little scientist requested cold-water waders (高筒靴) so that she could hunt for fossils (化石).

It was a summer program our school participated in, where biology students earned extra credit by teaching little kids about some of the animals. I needed to increase my biology grade, so I asked my friend Sue Wang to be my partner. “Melanie, I’ll do this with you,” she said, “but I’ll do the talking. No way will I handle the animals!” That was OK with me. During the training course, our instructor, Mr. Lindsey came to Sue and me and said, “OK, girls, your animal is a boa(蟒蛇).” I felt myself go cold. “I have to handle a boa?” That night, I had a nightmare. I was carrying the snake around a classroom, showing the kids, when all of a sudden it started constricting(收紧). It squeezed and squeezed, and I couldn’t breathe! I woke up in a sweat, my body rigid. Next day I told my instructor. “Sure you can do it,” he said. He slid the door of the snake carrier open. “Now put your elbow in—slowly —and wait for him to crawl on your arm. Good, that’s the way.” He wasn’t wet or slimy. He was dry and soft! But it was scary! Mr. Lindsey stood beside me. “Relax, Melanie. You need to show him you aren’t afraid. He needs to trust you, and you need to trust him.” Yeah, right. He didn’t do anything. Awesome! I named him Bo. After a few school visits, I began to really like my boa and was pretty much at ease with him. Then came the day I will never forget. As usual, I opened the carrier and took him out. After Sue talked about how boas live mostly in rain forests in Central and South America, I walked around the classroom, saying, “Don’t be afraid. See, he is nice. You can touch him gently, here, on his back. His name is Bo.” Most of the kids actually did touch him, and everything went fine until one boy, for some unknown reasons, tapped Bo on the head. I froze. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 My worst nightmare came true! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I closed the carrier and signaled the kids to come inside. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 My worst nightmare came true! He suddenly rushed forward. The next moment, he crawled around the wrist of a terrified little girl. She screamed, and all the other children scattered, horrified. My heart stopped. I knew I had to act fast. Gently, but firmly, I reached out and started to unwrap the snake from the girl’s arm. “It’s OK, it’s OK,” I murmured, trying to comfort both her and Bo. Mr. Lindsey rushed over and took the other end of the snake, guiding it back into its carrier. The little girl, still shaking, was led away by her teacher. The other children stood watching, wide-eyed. I closed the carrier and signaled the kids to come inside. I knew they were scared, but I also knew that this was a teachable moment. I gathered them around me and explained that Bo had just defendd himself. I stressed the importance of respecting animals and their space. Then, slowly, one by one, the children came forward to look at the carrier. They were still cautious, but their curiosity had won over their fear. I smiled and nodded at Mr. Lindsey, who gave me a thumbs-up. That day, I not only tamed a snake, but I also taught a valuable lesson about understanding and empathy. I knew then that my experience with Bo would be one I would cherish forever. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物和蟒蛇为线索。作者为了增加学分，在一个动物园里当讲解员。一开始她很害怕蟒蛇，但在Lindsey先生的教导下，她和蟒蛇建立了信任，她还把这条蟒蛇起名叫Bo。一次在教室里给孩子们展示Bo的时候，一个男孩敲了Bo的头，这让它受惊爬到了一个女孩手腕上，孩子们非常害怕。作者迅速行动，和Lindsey一起把Bo关到了运输车里，然后作者向孩子解释了Bo是出于自卫才这么做的，教育孩子们要尊重动物和它们的空间。这次经历让作者非常难忘。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由续写第一段首句“我最可怕的噩梦成真了！”可知，第一段可以描写小男孩敲Bo的头后引发了失控场面，作者和Lindsey一起把Bo关到了运输车里。 ②由续写第二段首句“我关上运输车，示意孩子们进来。”可知，第二段可以描写作者通过这件事教育孩子们关于动物的知识，告诉他们要尊重动物和它们的空间，这次经历让作者非常难忘。 2. 段落续写：噩梦成真——蟒蛇吓到其他孩子——作者和Lindsey一起把Bo关到了运输车里——给孩子们解释并教育孩子们——有了难忘的经历 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①冲：rush/lunge/dash ②散开：scatter/disperse ③保护：defend/protect ④强调：stress/emphasize 情绪类 ①恐惧的：terrified/scared ②小心的：cautious/careful 【点睛】【高分句型1】Mr. Lindsey rushed over and took the other end of the snake, guiding it back into its carrier.(使用了现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】I knew then that my experience with Bo would be one I would cherish forever.

Natural Park of the Coral Sea New Caledonia is famous for its beautiful nature, diverse species and wonderful coastal ecosystems. The Natural Park of the Coral Sea safeguards large marine (海洋的) habitats vital to the inhabitants, wildlife, and environmental protection of the territories in the south western Pacific region. The Natural Park of the Coral Sea in New Caledonia is a shelter for sharks, whales and turtles. Unique world-class diving locations can be found in the Natural Park of the Coral Sea. The Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument Located in the central Pacific Ocean, the Pacific Remote Islands Monument area includes seven islands. There are 165 identified oceanic plates in the sites of diversity and species richness. It is one of the most beautiful tropical marine habitats. The island hosts corals, fish, shellfish, marine mammals, seabirds, land birds, insects, and the flora (植物群) existing nowhere else on the planet. South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands Marine Protected Area (SGSSI-MPA) SGSSI-MPA is a vast natural preservation and conservation area in the far southern Atlantic Ocean. Due to the isolated geography and freezing weather throughout the year, few inhabitants live in this location. The marine reserve’s laws in this location are highly restrictive, with no commercial fishing permitted. Coral Sea Marine Park The park is one of the world’s largest marine parks and is located off the coastlines outside the Great Barrier Reef. Coral reefs, deep-sea plains and canyons (峡谷) are among the unique ecosystems found in the Coral Sea Marine Park. Additionally, the marine park preserves sixteen bottom ecosystems, including canyons and plains. It consists of 34 larger reef zones and 15, 000 square kilometers of shallow reef systems followed by much marine life. 21. What is special about the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument? A. Shellfish. B. Rich species. C. Unique flora. D. Seven islands. 22. Why do few people live in SGSSI-MPA? A. The climate is too extreme. B. It’s a large preservation area. C. Commercial fishing is banned. D. It’s far from the Atlantic Ocean. 23. What do the four reserves have in common? A. They are in the Pacific Ocean. B. They are marine reserves. C. They have some canyons. D. They contain plains. B Omar Vazquez grew up in poverty on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. He watched his single mother struggle to put food on the table, and today the memory inspires him to help those in need. When an invasive (入侵的) seaweed called sargassum showed up on Mexico’s Caribbean beaches, Omar looked past the matter of it all and saw an opportunity to help others. Sargassum is not dangerous, but it has an unpleasant smell and can become so thick that it keeps people from entering the water. Mexico has experienced record-setting amounts of the seaweed in recent years, and it has made its way to Florida’s beaches as well. Experts say there could be as much as 100 tons of sargassum blocking Mexican shorelines in 2023. With tourism dollars at risk, officials and locals alike were eager to remove the seaweed, but only Omar saw its true potential. The professional gardener organized a beach cleanup that provided jobs for about 300 local families, but he knew there was more to do. Since people’s attitude towards the seaweed reminded him of his own life experiences, he decided to become an agent (推动者) for change. When sargassum started arriving, everyone was complaining. “I wanted to make something good out of something everyone saw as bad,” Omar explained. In 2018, Omar found a way to turn sargassum into building blocks that he calls Sargablock. He creates these blocks by mixing 40% sargassum with other materials like clay, then putting them in a block-forming machine and baking them in the sun for days. The end result is an organic, sustainable, and ecologically friendly building material that experts say could last for 120 years. To date, Omar’s company, Bluegreen Mexico, has used 700 tons of sargassum to build low-income housing for those in need. Omar said he would take on more projects, and donate more houses to single mothers like his own mom. 24. What can be learned from paragraph 1? A. Omar’s family often assisted people in need. B. Sargassum originated on the Caribbean beaches. C. Omar’s experience in childhood has influenced him much. D. Omar has met a lot of generous people since he was young. 25. How did most people react to the increasing sargassum? A. They didn’t take it seriously. B. They were anxious to clear it up. C. They viewed it as new materials. D. They were excited to see a grand scene. 26. Which words can best describe Omar? A. Honest and ambitious. B. Strong-willed and confident. C. Quick-thinking and humorous. D. Sympathetic and innovative. 27. What does the author mainly want to tell us through Omar’s success? A. It’s never too old to learn. B. Love shines every dark corner. C. Solutions can be obtained from problems. D. Heroes arise from humble beginnings. C When you enjoy your morning cup of tea, you are probably not aware that those tea leaves can mean injury, or even death, for Asian elephants wandering Indian tea gardens. In the Indian state of Assam, growing numbers of tea farms are destroying the Asian elephant’s habitats and endangering their population. Much of the forest land where tea is grown in Assam is flat and thus farmers must dig drainage trenches or small channels to prevent water from accumulating and hurting the plants. The trenches, however, can be death traps for the elephants. Since the elephants need to use tea plantations as landmarks when traveling in forests, they almost unavoidably have to move through the farms. Moreover, because there are fewer humans around, pregnant females often use tea-growing areas as safe shelters to give birth. But baby elephants, still not used to rough ground may easily fall into the trenches and get hurt. Once injured, they might not be able to climb out. When mothers try to dig their babies out, both may be trapped in thick mud, even be killed. Furthermore, elephants are known to resist leaving their sick or dying behind, and a group may stay at a trench with a trapped baby for hours, unwilling to move on until all hope is lost. Is there possibility for elephants to live in harmony with the booming tea business? Elephant Friendly Tea is an organization that takes the initiative to make it possible. The organization encourages consumers to choose brands that take an active part in elephants protection, and has established a certification program to reward tea growers who are doing it right. Until now, only smaller tea brands have been certified, but awareness is growing. The organization believes that people may be encouraged to buy elephant-friendly brands when they know more about the risk tea can cause to these endangered animals. 28. Why do farmers in Assam dig trenches? A. To trap elephants. B. To mark boundaries. C. To protect tea trees. D. To expand tea farms. 29. What can we say about baby elephants? A. They get stuck by the sharp branches of the tea trees. B. They have difficulty moving around the uneven fields. C. They might miss the landmarks while travelling in forests. D. They fail to find a safe shelter when climbing out of trenches. 30. What does “it” underlined in the last paragraph refer to? A. Encouraging consumers to choose high-quality brands. B. Rewarding tea growers for protecting the environment. C. Promoting elephant-friendly trenches and organizations. D. Creating a win-win situation for elephants and tea farms. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Trenches Pose Threats to Elephants B. Habitat Loss Affects Endangered Animals C. Growth of Tea Gardens Benefits Plantation D. Farms Sponsor Environmental Organizations D Farming is destroying the planet, but there could be a much more environmentally friendly way to feed ourselves: using renewable energy to turn carbon dioxide into food. “This is becoming a reality,” says Pasi Vainikka at Solar Foods, a company that is building the first commercial-scale factory that will be able to make food directly from CO2. There can be no doubt that immediate attention to find greener ways to grow food is required. Conventional agriculture, including organic farming, causes damage to the environment in many ways. It requires a lot of land, leading to habitat loss and deforestation. It is also the source of a third of all greenhouse gas emissions and releases other pollutants. It isn’t very efficient, either. Crops typically transform less than 1 percent of light energy into usable biomass (生物量). Instead, Solar Foods plans to avoid photosynthesis (光合作用) altogether, and grow bacteria that use hydrogen as their source of energy. At the factory, renewable electricity will be used to split water to produce hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen will be added to large containers, where the bacteria grow, along with CO2 and ammonia (氨气). The end result will be a yellow powder called Solein. Solein is made of bacterial cells and is up to 70 percent protein. It can be used as an ingredient in all kinds of foods. “We are aiming at replacing animal-sourced proteins, which we think have the highest environmental impact,” says Vainikka. Compared with plant crops, Solein will use 100 times less water per kilogram of protein produced, 20 times less land and emit a fifth as much CO2, according to Solar Foods. There are other benefits, too: factories could be situated anywhere in the world and production won’t be affected by weather conditions. “With Solar Foods and other companies scaling up their systems, this is truly beginning a new era of agriculture,” says Dorian Leger at Connectomix Bio in Germany. “I think these trends are exciting and will help bend the carbon curve as well as lead to improved global food supply security.” 32. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning conventional agriculture in paragraph 2? A. To demonstrate its influence on crops. B. To compare different farming methods. C. To highlight the urgent need for alternatives. D. To provide an example of agricultural types. 33. What is mainly presented in paragraph 3 concerning Solein? A. Its production process. B. Its storage condition. C. Its ingredient materials. D. Its investment potential. 34. All of the following are the features of Solein except __________. A. it is protein-rich B. its production is weather sensitive C. it is resource-efficient D. its production is location-independent 35. Which statement would Dorian Leger probably agree with? A. The use of Solein may help reduce carbon emissions. B. Solein will dominate the agricultural development. C. Solein can help achieve global food safety. D. The prospect of Solein remains to be seen. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There has been a very serious decline in the numbers of shallow-water fish as a result of overfishing. People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic. ____36____ Conservation measures will have to be put in place if these deep-sea fish are to survive. Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent. ____37____ Many species could well disappear completely if the present trend continues. These are species that have been swimming in our oceans for hundreds of millions of years. The problem is emphasized by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less than twenty years. Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years. ____38____ The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones. ____39____ The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits. The damage done by overfishing goes beyond the sea environment. Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry. ____40____ Measures must be taken to not only conserve ecosystems, but also sustain livelihoods and ensure food security. A Billions of people rely on fish for protein. B. Many people now choose not to eat deep-sea fish. C. Unfortunately, their reproduction rate is very low. D. This puts them in the category of “critically endangered”. E. None of these facts has been taken into account by the fishing industry. F. Overfishing is a major cause of decline in populations of ocean wildlife. G. This has resulted in a sharp decline in the numbers of many of the species caught. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Maryland fourth grader Molly Sampson didn’t ask for typical new year’s gifts this year. ____41____, the little scientist requested cold-water waders (高筒靴) so that she could hunt for fossils (化石).

It was a summer program our school participated in, where biology students earned extra credit by teaching little kids about some of the animals. I needed to increase my biology grade, so I asked my friend Sue Wang to be my partner. “Melanie, I’ll do this with you,” she said, “but I’ll do the talking. No way will I handle the animals!” That was OK with me. During the training course, our instructor, Mr. Lindsey came to Sue and me and said, “OK, girls, your animal is a boa(蟒蛇).” I felt myself go cold. “I have to handle a boa?” That night, I had a nightmare. I was carrying the snake around a classroom, showing the kids, when all of a sudden it started constricting(收紧). It squeezed and squeezed, and I couldn’t breathe! I woke up in a sweat, my body rigid. Next day I told my instructor. “Sure you can do it,” he said. He slid the door of the snake carrier open. “Now put your elbow in—slowly —and wait for him to crawl on your arm. Good, that’s the way.” He wasn’t wet or slimy. He was dry and soft! But it was scary! Mr. Lindsey stood beside me. “Relax, Melanie. You need to show him you aren’t afraid. He needs to trust you, and you need to trust him.” Yeah, right. He didn’t do anything. Awesome! I named him Bo. After a few school visits, I began to really like my boa and was pretty much at ease with him. Then came the day I will never forget. As usual, I opened the carrier and took him out. After Sue talked about how boas live mostly in rain forests in Central and South America, I walked around the classroom, saying, “Don’t be afraid. See, he is nice. You can touch him gently, here, on his back. His name is Bo.” Most of the kids actually did touch him, and everything went fine until one boy, for some unknown reasons, tapped Bo on the head. I froze. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 My worst nightmare came true! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I closed the carrier and signaled the kids to come inside. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
