At Countryside High School in Clearwater, Fla. , 16-year-old Sage Waite is already taking a class in cybersecurity, and she’d welcome one that’s in the works on cyber disinformation.
“For the longest time, I didn’t actually know what disinformation was,” said Waite, who’s in the 11th grade. “There was always the idea that things could be wrong in what you’re hearing and what you’re being told. But the idea of misinformation and disinformation wasn’t in my day-to-day.” This past year, she says, has been an eye-opener. “My friends and I definitely started looking into stuff more and doing more research after that,” she said.
A new program on “digital literacy” with a focus on topics like disinformation, is in the pipeline, thanks in part to Mike McConnell, who is now working to fight false information aimed at young people. “We need to understand this so we can appreciate what's happening to us, and be able to not only understand it, but also to navigate through it,” McConnell said. “That’s what I call digital literacy.”
McConnell is executive director of Cyber Florida, which is based at the University of South Florida in Tampa. The group works with kids throughout the state at universities, high schools, and even those in younger grades. Cyber Florida helped set up the cybersecurity program now being taught at many Florida schools. The new project, Cyber Citizenship, is even more ambitious. “We think if we can do this for Florida, we can spread it across the nation,” he said.
The expanded program now in the works aims to make digital literacy something all Florida students get, at several grade levels, before they finish high school.
There’s no date yet for the cyber disinformation classes in Florida, but computer teacher Jason Felt says it can’t come soon enough and he is ready to embrace it.
“The Internet is a wonderful tool. It’s connected us in a way that’s never really been seen before. But it’s a blessing and it’s also a curse.”
Teaching students the difference, he says, is a huge challenge.
4. What can we learn about the class that Sage Waite is taking from the first two paragraphs?
A. It receives a cold welcome. B. It aims to form a bond.
C. It focuses on technologies. D. It has a positive impact.
5. What is digital literacy according to MeConnell?
A. The specific strategies for protecting privacy. B. The inborn capacity to track fake information.
C. The general skills of maintaining cybersecurity. D. The overall ability to handle online information.
6. What is the vision of Cyber Citizenship?
A. To outperform Cybersecuritiy. B. To take the lead in the world.
C. To reach a wider range of students. D. To make a substantial profit.
7. What is Jason Felt’s attitude towards the cyber disinformation classes?
A. Welcoming. B. Unclear. C. Opposed. D. Prejudiced.
C
While many animal populations seem to dwindle, one species that is moving in the opposite direction of such loss is America’s native wildlife — wood stork.
The wood stork is the only stork that breeds in North America. In 1984, it was declared an endangered species after its population decreased sharply to just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would become completely extinct by 2000. Today, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs, and the Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a delisting of the wood stork as an endangered species. So how did the population bounce back?
The success is in part down to the resourcefulness of the wood stork. The wood stork’s native home was in the Everglades in Florida, but it migrated north as the Everglades were being destroyed by development of mankind. Wetland preservation and restoration, protection of nesting areas, and management of water flows began with the approval of the wood stork’s first recovery plan in 1986. In the following year, former Savannah Coastal Refuges biologist John Robinette noticed stork nests in Georgia as stork populations moved to safer wetlands.
According to Stephanie Kurose, a senior policy specialist at the Centre for Biological Diversity, the Endangered Species Act is also to thank for this recovery. She said, “The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home.” “The Endangered Species Act has saved 99 per cent of the species that were on the list since 1973. A hundred types of plants and animals have been delisted as their populations become stable again.
If the wood stork is delisted, it will remain protected by other laws and a monitoring plan will be put in place to ensure the population remains stable.
8. What does the underlined word dwindle probably mean?
A. Boost. B. Change. C. Decline. D. Explode.
9. What can we learn about the wood stork in paragraph two?
A. Its population shows a rising trend. B. It has become completely extinct.
C. It is widely distributed worldwide. D. It is the most endangered species.
10. What threatened the population of the wood stock?
A Climate change of Earth. B. Popularity of water sports.
C. Impact of human activities. D. Arrival of other wild animals.
11. What is a direct result of the Endangered Species Act?
A. People have safer water to drink. B. A list of species have been saved.
C. The local economy has boomed. D. The wood stock has flown away.
D
Aeronautics (航空学) specialists from the University of South Australia spent months studying the dragonfly’s flight, creating 3D models from digital images, to build a winged drone (无人机). Study leader Javaan Chahl believes that winged drones based on the dragonfly’s shape and movement will simply be more flexible and energy efficient.
Chahl’s team used a special photography technique to classify the wing shapes of 75 different dragonfly species from museum collections. Their wings are long, light and hard. Plus, their long bodies give them excellent stability and balance, making it possible for winged drones to deliver awkward loads and undertake long observation missions.
Investigating the way that dragonflies remain stable during flight actually reveals the techniques they use to get themselves out of tricky situations. Dragonflies are found to be able to perform upside-down backflips to regain balance and normal flight, when they find themselves upside down mid-air. This special skill can even be performed while dragonflies are unconscious, meaning it is a passive stability mechanism similar in concept to planes that are designed to glide to safety with their engines turned off. Engineers are looking to copy dragonfly wings to create safer drones that can right themselves.
Of course, not all attempts to build dragonfly-like drones are successful. TechJet’s air vehicle was supposed to operate as an aerial camera, observation and security drone, but it failed before production got underway. Similarly, Insectothopter, an American dragonfly spy drone built in the 1970 s was deserted.
Yet the principles behind winged drones are solid. In fact, NASA has settled on a nuclear-powered autonomous craft called Dragonfly to explore the surface of Saturn’s moon Titan in 2034. NASA’s project is actually an air vehicle, rather than a winged drone, but engineers are still convinced they can crack the code of nature’s most gifted flying insect and revolutionize unmanned flight along the way.
12. Why did aeronautics specialists spend months studying the dragonfly’s flight?
A. To make winged drones modelled after it.
B. To build 3D models from digital images.
C. To clarify the flexibility and efficiency of drones.
D. To display the shape and movement of the dragonfly.
13. The special skill of dragonflies is their ability to_________.
A. glide to safety B. avoid tricky situations
C. perform observation tasks D. adjust themselves to stay stable
14. Why the author mentions TechJet’s air vehicle and Insectothopter in para.4 ?
A. To showcase the inventions of engineers.
B. To compare dragonfly-like drones with other aircrafts.
C. To illustrate failed attempts of building dragonfly-like drones.
D. To explain the disadvantages of these aircrafts.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Winged Drones: Still a Long Way to Go
B. Javaan Chahl: An Innovative Leader of Aeronautics
C. A Dragonfly’s Flying Technique: Perfect for Drones
D. The Code of Nature: A Solution to NASA’s Space Exploration

“Oh, no!” Jack shouted while looking at the likes and comments on his recent TikTok video.
“Why aren’t people reacting to my content as they used to?”
Jack was a 19-year-old strong and muscular man addicted to the gym. He loved recording exercise videos and posting them on his TikTok account. Initially, his video logs (vlogs) were popular, but his posts’ reach soon decreased.
Jack wondered why people had stopped sharing and liking his videos “Maybe my audience is tired of watching me work out in the gym,” he thought, determined to change the location of his videos.
The following day, Jack went to the neighborhood park and began filming while walking on the track.“Hi, guys! How about we shake things up a little? I’m to work out in the park today!” he said excitedly, looking into the camera lens (镜头).
“Let’s look for a good spot to warm up,” he said as he walked towards a bench(长椅), on which sat an elderly lady. Jack thought the bench was the perfect place to film his video because of the light.
He put his tripod stand (三脚架) on the bench and set the camera, but he felt like he needed the full bench. He wanted to place his camera where the lady sat, so he gestured to her to move, but the woman didn’t seem to understand.
“Get out of my way!” he yelled.“Can’t you see I’m filming a video? You old fool!” Looking him up and down in surprise, the old lady didn’t argue over his disrespectful attitude and quietly walked towards another bench.
Jack set his camera up, pressed the record button and waved at his followers, ready to demonstrate exercises. Suddenly, he tripped on a loose stone, lost balance and fell down, his head striking the bench and bleeding heavily.
Crying in pain, Jack tried to get up, but he didn’t have the strength to rise. He collapsed on the ground, screaming desperately for help.
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。
There was nobody around but the elderly lady.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To Jack’s joy, a net friend sent a message saying where the lady lived.

At Countryside High School in Clearwater, Fla. , 16-year-old Sage Waite is already taking a class in cybersecurity, and she’d welcome one that’s in the works on cyber disinformation.
“For the longest time, I didn’t actually know what disinformation was,” said Waite, who’s in the 11th grade. “There was always the idea that things could be wrong in what you’re hearing and what you’re being told. But the idea of misinformation and disinformation wasn’t in my day-to-day.” This past year, she says, has been an eye-opener. “My friends and I definitely started looking into stuff more and doing more research after that,” she said.
A new program on “digital literacy,” with a focus on topics like disinformation, is in the pipeline, thanks in part to Mike McConnell, who is now working to fight false information aimed at young people. “We need to understand this so we can appreciate what's happening to us, and be able to not only understand it, but also to navigate through it,” McConnell said. “That’s what I call digital literacy.”
McConnell is executive director of Cyber Florida, which is based at the University of South Florida in Tampa. The group works with kids throughout the state at universities, high schools, and even those in younger grades. Cyber Florida helped set up the cybersecurity program now being taught at many Florida schools. The new project, Cyber Citizenship, is even more ambitious. “We think if we can do this for Florida, we can spread it across the nation,” he said.
The expanded program now in the works aims to make digital literacy something all Florida students get, at several grade levels, before they finish high school.
There’s no date yet for the cyber disinformation classes in Florida, but computer teacher Jason Felt says it can’t come soon enough and he is ready to embrace it.
“The Internet is a wonderful tool. It’s connected us in a way that’s never really been seen before. But it’s a blessing and it’s also a curse.”
Teaching students the difference, he says, is a huge challenge.
4. What can we learn about the class that Sage Waite is taking from the first two paragraphs?
A It receives a cold welcome. B. It aims to form a bond.
C. It focuses on technologies. D. It has a positive impact.
5. What is digital literacy according to MeConnell?
A. The specific strategies for protecting privacy. B. The inborn capacity to track fake information.
C. The general skills of maintaining cybersecurity. D. The overall ability to handle online information.
6. What is the vision of Cyber Citizenship?
A. To outperform Cybersecuritiy. B. To take the lead in the world.
C. To reach a wider range of students. D. To make a substantial profit.
7. What is Jason Felt’s attitude towards the cyber disinformation classes?
A. Welcoming. B. Unclear. C. Opposed. D. Prejudiced.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. A

While many animal populations seem to dwindle, one species that is moving in the opposite direction of such loss is America’s native wildlife — wood stork.
The wood stork is the only stork that breeds in North America. In 1984, it was declared an endangered species after its population decreased sharply to just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would become completely extinct by 2000. Today, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs, and the Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a delisting of the wood stork as an endangered species. So how did the population bounce back?
The success is in part down to the resourcefulness of the wood stork. The wood stork’s native home was in the Everglades in Florida, but it migrated north as the Everglades were being destroyed by development of mankind. Wetland preservation and restoration, protection of nesting areas, and management of water flows began with the approval of the wood stork’s first recovery plan in 1986. In the following year, former Savannah Coastal Refuges biologist John Robinette noticed stork nests in Georgia as stork populations moved to safer wetlands.
According to Stephanie Kurose, a senior policy specialist at the Centre for Biological Diversity, the Endangered Species Act is also to thank for this recovery. She said, “The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home.” “The Endangered Species Act has saved 99 per cent of the species that were on the list since 1973. A hundred types of plants and animals have been delisted as their populations become stable again.
If the wood stork is delisted, it will remain protected by other laws and a monitoring plan will be put in place to ensure the population remains stable.
8. What does the underlined word dwindle probably mean?
A. Boost. B. Change. C. Decline. D. Explode.
9. What can we learn about the wood stork in paragraph two?
A. Its population shows a rising trend. B. It has become completely extinct.
C. It is widely distributed worldwide. D. It is the most endangered species.
10. What threatened the population of the wood stock?
A. Climate change of Earth. B. Popularity of water sports.
C. Impact of human activities. D. Arrival of other wild animals.
11. What is a direct result of the Endangered Species Act?
A. People have safer water to drink. B. A list of species have been saved.
C. The local economy has boomed. D. The wood stock has flown away.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B

词义猜测题。根据划线词后“one species that is moving in the opposite direction of such loss is America’s native wildlife — wood stork.(但有一种动物却在朝着相反的方向发展,那就是美国本土的野生动物——林鹳)”和第二段中“Today, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs, and the Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a delisting of the wood stork as an endangered species.(如今,它们的交配数量达到了1万对,美国鱼类和野生动物管理局正提议将林鹳从濒危物种名单中除名)”可知,林鹳数量增长,与很多动物相反,故划线词所在句意为“虽然许多动物的数量似乎在减少”,dwindle意为“减少”,故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 1984, it was declared an endangered species after its population decreased sharply to just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would become completely extinct by 2000. Today, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs, and the Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a delisting of the wood stork as an endangered species.(1984年,在其数量急剧减少到只有5000对交配后,它被宣布为濒危物种。当时,科学家预测这种鸟将在2000年完全灭绝。如今,它们的交配数量达到了1万对,美国鱼类和野生动物管理局正提议将林鹳从濒危物种名单中除名)”可知,林鹳的数量呈增长趋势,故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The wood stork’s native home was in the Everglades in Florida, but it migrated north as the Everglades were being destroyed by development of mankind.(林鹳的故乡在佛罗里达的大沼泽地,但随着人类的发展,大沼泽地被破坏,它们向北迁移)”可知,人类活动的影响威胁着林鹳的数量,故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The Endangered Species Act has saved 99 per cent of the species that were on the list since 1973. A hundred types of plants and animals have been delisted as their populations become stable again.(自1973年以来,《濒危物种法》拯救了99%的濒危物种。随着种群数量恢复稳定,100种动植物已被从濒危物种名单中除名)”可知,《濒危物种法》的直接影响是它拯救了很多濒危物种,故选B。

Aeronautics (航空学) specialists from the University of South Australia spent months studying the dragonfly’s flight, creating 3D models from digital images, to build a winged drone (无人机). Study leader Javaan Chahl believes that winged drones based on the dragonfly’s shape and movement will simply be more flexible and energy efficient.
Chahl’s team used a special photography technique to classify the wing shapes of 75 different dragonfly species from museum collections. Their wings are long, light and hard. Plus, their long bodies give them excellent stability and balance, making it possible for winged drones to deliver awkward loads and undertake long observation missions.
Investigating the way that dragonflies remain stable during flight actually reveals the techniques they use to get themselves out of tricky situations. Dragonflies are found to be able to perform upside-down backflips to regain balance and normal flight, when they find themselves upside down mid-air. This special skill can even be performed while dragonflies are unconscious, meaning it is a passive stability mechanism similar in concept to planes that are designed to glide to safety with their engines turned off. Engineers are looking to copy dragonfly wings to create safer drones that can right themselves.
Of course, not all attempts to build dragonfly-like drones are successful. TechJet’s air vehicle was supposed to operate as an aerial camera, observation and security drone, but it failed before production got underway. Similarly, Insectothopter, an American dragonfly spy drone built in the 1970 s was deserted.
Yet the principles behind winged drones are solid. In fact, NASA has settled on a nuclear-powered autonomous craft called Dragonfly to explore the surface of Saturn’s moon Titan in 2034. NASA’s project is actually an air vehicle, rather than a winged drone, but engineers are still convinced they can crack the code of nature’s most gifted flying insect and revolutionize unmanned flight along the way.
12. Why did aeronautics specialists spend months studying the dragonfly’s flight?
A. To make winged drones modelled after it.
B. To build 3D models from digital images.
C. To clarify the flexibility and efficiency of drones.
D. To display the shape and movement of the dragonfly.
13. The special skill of dragonflies is their ability to_________.
A. glide to safety B. avoid tricky situations
C. perform observation tasks D. adjust themselves to stay stable
14. Why the author mentions TechJet’s air vehicle and Insectothopter in para.4 ?
A. To showcase the inventions of engineers.
B. To compare dragonfly-like drones with other aircrafts.
C. To illustrate failed attempts of building dragonfly-like drones.
D. To explain the disadvantages of these aircrafts.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Winged Drones: Still a Long Way to Go
B. Javaan Chahl: An Innovative Leader of Aeronautics
C. A Dragonfly’s Flying Technique: Perfect for Drones
D. The Code of Nature: A Solution to NASA’s Space Exploration

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了长白山火山国家地质公园的发展和特点。
【36题详解】
考查时态语态以及主谓一致。句意:3月27日,长白山地质公园与中国其他五个地质公园一起被联合国教科文组织认定为世界地质公园。根据句意以及时间状语on March 27可知,该句应为陈述过去发生的事情,结合处主语The Mount Changbaishan Geopark为单数名词和recognize为被动关系,可知用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was recognized。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意:中国世界地质公园数量已增至47个,成为世界上拥有世界地质公园最多的国家。此处为代词“it”是代替前文的“China”做宾语,表示“中国”是世界上拥有最多地质公园的国家。故填it。
38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:中国地质科学院专家任方在接受《人民日报》采访时表示:“中国地质遗产丰富,分布广泛,地质类型齐全。”根据句意以及空后expert为单数名词可知,此处为表示泛指“一位专家”,结合expert为首音节元音单词,所以填入不定冠词an。故填an。
【39题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:2003年,响应联合国教科文组织建立世界地质公园网络的倡议,中国建立了国家级地质公园,并开始申请世界地质公园。此处为动词不定式to do作后置定语修饰initiative。故填to establish。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:2004年,在北京召开了第一届世界地质公园大会,17个欧洲地质公园和8个中国地质公园加入了世界地质公园网络。此处为关系副词where引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词为First International Conference on Geoparks,在从句中作地点状语。故填where。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:该网络旨在促进地质遗产保护的最佳做法和高标准,促进可持续的区域经济发展。practice意为“做法”为可数名词,结合句意可知,此处为复数名词形式。故填practices。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:该网络旨在促进地质遗产保护的最佳做法和高标准,促进可持续的区域经济发展。由空后regional economic development为名词短语可知,此处为形容词sustainable“可持续的”作定语修饰该名词短语。故填sustainable。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:新加入世界地质公园网络的长白山地质公园位于吉林省,是“千年火山爆发”的发生地,“千年喷发”是大约1000年前发生的一次大规模火山事件。此处与前面的“newly”一起构成了一个过去分词短语,修饰“The Mount Changbaishan Geopark”,与add之间是被动关系,表示这个地质公园是“新加入的”。故填added。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:新加入世界地质公园网络的长白山地质公园位于吉林省,是“千年火山爆发”的发生地,“千年喷发”是大约1000年前发生的一次大规模火山事件。此处为固定短语be home to,表示“是……的所在地”。故填to。
【45题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:该公园以其第四纪火山地貌而闻名,占地2723平方公里,以巨大的复合火山锥、古老的火山喷发及其沉积物和壮丽的天池为特色。空格处为谓语动词,“feature”是及物动词,意为“以……为特色”,主语是the park,此处是客观事实,故用一般现在时,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填features。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Oh, no!” Jack shouted while looking at the likes and comments on his recent TikTok video.
“Why aren’t people reacting to my content as they used to?”
Jack was a 19-year-old strong and muscular man addicted to the gym. He loved recording exercise videos and posting them on his TikTok account. Initially, his video logs (vlogs) were popular, but his posts’ reach soon decreased.
Jack wondered why people had stopped sharing and liking his videos, “Maybe my audience is tired of watching me work out in the gym,” he thought, determined to change the location of his videos.
The following day, Jack went to the neighborhood park and began filming while walking on the track.“Hi, guys! How about we shake things up a little? I’m to work out in the park today!” he said excitedly, looking into the camera lens (镜头).
“Let’s look for a good spot to warm up,” he said as he walked towards a bench(长椅), on which sat an elderly lady. Jack thought the bench was the perfect place to film his video because of the light.
He put his tripod stand (三脚架) on the bench and set the camera, but he felt like he needed the full bench. He wanted to place his camera where the lady sat, so he gestured to her to move, but the woman didn’t seem to understand.
“Get out of my way!” he yelled.“Can’t you see I’m filming a video? You old fool!” Looking him up and down in surprise, the old lady didn’t argue over his disrespectful attitude and quietly walked towards another bench.
Jack set his camera up, pressed the record button and waved at his followers, ready to demonstrate exercises. Suddenly, he tripped on a loose stone, lost balance and fell down, his head striking the bench and bleeding heavily.
Crying in pain, Jack tried to get up, but he didn’t have the strength to rise. He collapsed on the ground, screaming desperately for help.
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。
There was nobody around but the elderly lady.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To Jack’s joy, a net friend sent a message saying where the lady lived.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
There was nobody around but the elderly lady. She hurried to him and bent down to check his injury. “God!” she gasped. “Don’t move. I’ll help you, son.” Looking at her kind face, Jack gradually lost consciousness. Having called an ambulance, the lady tended to his wounds carefully. Not until Jack came to and found himself and his belongings in an emergency room did he learn that the lady had contacted his family and quietly left. Overwhelmed by her virtue, Jack was desperate to find her. Fortunately, the rescue scene was wholly recorded by his camera. He posted the video online, requesting clues so that he could say thanks and sorry to her.
To Jack’s joy, a net friend sent a message saying where the lady lived. With gifts, Jack headed for the lady’s home. Answering the door, the lady was surprised but immediately got aware of what was going on. She gave Jack a hug, saying smilingly, “So glad to see you well, son.” “Sorry, I came for apologies. I behaved so rudely … and thanks for your help. Otherwise…” Jack choked, ashamed and grateful. “Treat others as you’d like to be treated. Everything will change for the better. I have faith in you,” she comforted the young man affectionately. The incident dramatically transformed Jack, who became helpful, friendly and popular.
