At www. tripinsiders. org, we aim to provide you with the best insider secrets in the travel business. And on this website, we also offer a state-of-the-art travel comparison tool to make planning easier than ever. Here are some insider tips that we'd like to share with you about flights. Look for Glitch (小故障) Fares Online booking systems for airfare don’t come without a pricing mistake every once in a while. Follow deal-minded travel sites and blogs to learn about pricing mistakes that work in your favor. This is the most useful if you live near a major airport and have a flexible schedule. Consider Alternate Airports Some major cities have more than one airport, so make sure to check them all for the cheapest fares. For example, if you’re planning to visit the Bay Area of California, check for rates in both San Francisco International Airport and Oakland International Airport. Cross the Border by Land Domestic flights are often cheaper than international ones, so if you live near a border and want to fly to a neighboring country, you can save by crossing the border by land and then catching a domestic flight. For example, Toronto residents may save by crossing the American border into Buffalo and then flying to another American city. Use a Digital Luggage Scale There’s nothing more frustrating than learning that your bag is too heavy to fly or that it’ll cost you extra when you arrive at the airport. Digital luggage scales are great for making sure that you’re not going over the baggage limit with your new souvenirs. 21. What is the main purpose of www.tripinsiders.org ? A. To recommend travel websites. B. To fund the travel business. C. To advertise a travel agency. D. To uncover travel business secrets. 22. What is advised for air travel? A. Selecting airports. B. Flying the border. C. Carrying more baggage. D. Having a fixed schedule. 23. What do the four tips have in common? A. They cover all aspects of a trip. B. They help travelers save money. C. They merely apply to businessmen. D. They are only for Toronto residents. B Rolland and Adeline are proud parents to nine beautiful children. Their youngest two, daughter Lanto, and son, Rindra, were both born with cleft lip (唇裂) conditions. In Madagascar, many families have never seen a cleft lip before, so it’s a condition often greeted with fear and misfortune in some rural communities. However, the news of Lanto and Rindra’s cleft lip wasn’t much of a shock for Rolland and Adeline because Rolland’s cousin—a man in his fifties — had lived his entire adult life with an untreated cleft lip. Although seeing a relative with a cleft lip meant the family weren’t fearful of the condition, they knew the negative impact an untreated cleft lip can have on a person’s health and life. As all loving parents would, Rolland and Adeline wanted a better future for their children. Rolland heard an advertisement on the radio about an Operation Smile surgical programme in Antsirabe, Madagascar. Finding out that Rindra and Lanto could have the cleft lip surgery they needed, for free, was a dream for the family. Unlike here in the UK, health services aren’t free in many parts of the world, and the costs of treatment — or even travelling to reach medical facilities — are out of reach for most families. When Rolland and his children arrived at the patient village, they were surprised to see so many other families in the same position. After a thorough medical evaluation by medical volunteers, Lanto was found to be fit enough for surgery, and later got the new smile her parents had dreamed of for her. But, for younger brother Rindra, the journey to a new smile would take a little longer. Operation Smile has provided hundreds of thousands of safe surgeries for children with cleft lip conditions worldwide. For more information about our work or to find out how you can help, visit www.operationsmile.org. 24. What do most people think of cleft lip in Madagascar? A. It is incurable. B. It is normal. C. It is unavoidable. D. It is unlucky. 25. What kept the couple from being scared of their children’s situation? A. Their relative’s experience. B. Their children’s smile. C. Their love for their children. D. The advertisement they saw. 26. What should be done just before deciding on the surgery according to the text? A. Paying for the surgery. B. Staying in hospital. C. Having a health check. D. Seeking for a doctor. 27. What is the main purpose of the information in the last paragraph? A. For donations. B. For copyright. C. For commitment. D. For clarification. C For almost a century, Ecuador’s giant tortoises (陆龟) have been protected. These species are one of the largest living reptiles (爬行动物) on the planet. They live a very long life—the oldest tortoise on record was 175 years old. And, they all live on the Galapagos Islands. Hunting the tortoises is illegal under Ecuador’s laws, but now the Attorney General’s office has opened an investigation into the remains of four tortoises that were found in the park. Tortoise meat is considered delicious, meaning there can be large financial gains made by wildlife hunters. “This is not an isolated incident,” said the Galápagos Conservancy, a US-based conservation organization in a statement. “In September 2021, the remains of 15 critically endangered giant tortoises from the subspecies Chelonoidisguntheri were found on Isabela. Evidence from the investigation showed that the reptiles had likely been hunted for consumption.” The islands are considered one of the world’s best places to see wildlife, and they’re home to animal and plant species that are found nowhere else in the world. The famously fearless wildlife is believed to have been a source of inspiration for Darwin’s theory of evolution, following his visit to the islands in 1835. The islands were actually discovered by accident in 1535, when a Spanish ship was blown off course while sailing from Panama to Peru. Ridiculously enough, the ship’s captain was unimpressed by the islands, writing to the king that they were “worthless”. In late August, a special unit for environmental crime traveled to the Galápagos Islands to investigate and interview park keepers about the incident. And when the keepers discovered four animal bodies on Isabela Island, just a few months after the discovery of 15 dead tortoises, environmentalists were shocked. There were once at least 250,000 tortoises on the islands. But now there are only fewer than 15,000 in the wild today, and two subspecies are already extinct. “Evidence from the 2021 investigation showed that the reptiles had likely been hunted for consumption,” Galapagos Conservancy continued. “Therefore, it comes as no surprise that many are worried that their population will continue to decrease if serious action isn’t taken soon.” 28. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 2 refer to? A The long life of the giant tortoises. B. The hunting of the tortoises in the park. C. The food consumption of the tortoises. D. The investigation into the remains of the tortoises. 29. Why is Darwin’s theory of evolution mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To show the value of the islands. B. To criticize the captain’s ignorance. C. To present Darwin’s great achievements. D. To raise people’s awareness of protecting the islands. 30. What does the author say about the tortoises in the last paragraph? A. It is not surprising that they are dying out. B. The population of them is on the sharp decline. C. Strict measures have been taken to protect them. D. They have been so popular because of their meat. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Reptiles Face Extinction in a Park of Ecuador B. How Are Galápagos Giant Tortoises Well Protected? C. Hunting Threatens Galápagos Giant Tortoises’ Survival D. Why Are Galápagos Giant Tortoises Called Fearless Reptiles? D Scientists have long believed that Mars was wet around three billion years ago and then lost much of its water. But a new study presents evidence of water activity from about 700 million years ago, posing a new puzzle about Mars and its history for scientists to crack in their future studies. The new study is based on data from China’s Zhurong rover (“祝融号”火星车), part of the Tianwen-1 mission that touched down on the surface of Mars in May 2021. In particular, the scientists used data the rover gathered during its first 92 Martian days, at its landing site in Utopia Planitia. Yang Liu, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS), and his colleagues analyzed data from three different instruments on Zhurong. Those instruments studied minerals that suggest the presence of a large quantity of liquid water at the site about 700 million years ago, which scientists previously thought was dry. “This is a very interesting result. We have very little recorded evidence of young liquid water systems on Mars. And for the ones we have, they were usually in the form of salt minerals,” says Dr. Scheller, a scientist at the California Institute of Technology. He explained Zhurong’s instruments spotted water molecules locked away in the rock, which was different from other young liquid water environments that have been observed. “One of the major things we’ll have to find out and that I look forward to seeing from the Zhurong rover is how extensive these ‘young’ water-bearing minerals are,” Dr. Scheller said. “Are they common or uncommon in these ‘young’ rocks?” Zhurong has now covered about two kilometers during its more than 350 Martian days and has analyzed a range of features on its travels, meaning more new Martian insights are likely still to come from the rover. NASA has so far sent its Mars rovers to ancient landing sites, dating back to more than 3.7 billion years ago. Zhurong is not just an extra set of wheels on Mars, but a powerful suite of instruments exploring a new, geologically young site to open new windows of opportunity for research on Mars. 32. What does the underlined word “crack” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Keep. B. Doubt. C. Solve. D. Create. 33. What does the new study show according to paragraph 2? A. The inaccuracy of data gathered on Mars. B. Functional limitations of instruments on Mars. C. Main reasons for the failure of the Tianwen-1 mission. D. The misconception of past thinking about Martian water. 34. Which of the following does Dr. Scheller convey? A. The result has been recorded by many scientists. B. Zhurong’s wide analyses will bring more surprises. C. Salt minerals are younger than water-bear ing minerals. D. Young water-bearing minerals are common in young rocks. 35. Which word can best describe Zhurong? A. Ancient. B. Common. C. Alarming. D. Promising. 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。 Steps Towards Unlocking Your Inner Wisdom At the core of your life lies sense, a powerful force that exists within.

I was writing up medical records of the surgery patients when my receptionist (接待员) stuck her head into my office. She told me there was a big cat lying outside with a seriously injured front leg. What’s worse, nobody knew whom it belonged to. Then I sent two of my pre-vet students to pick up the poor cat while I went back to my record-keeping. But it wasn’t long before I heard the students returning with this newest patient who seemed to be in pretty bad condition. I carefully checked up the injuries which seemed to be caused by the pressing of a heavy object. With the extremely horrible smell, I knew from years of experience this cat didn’t have an owner. “Well, then,” I sighed, “I’m not sure whether we are able to bring this cat back to life, but let’s give him our best shot anyway. Afterwards, let’s see if we can find a home for him. ” Just then, when one of the students began touching the cat’s head gently, somewhere deep in the cat’s throat, a weak purr (呼噜声) began. As the student continued to pet the cat, I noticed the cat’s breathing became less laboured (缓慢而困难). When I performed the complicated operation, I whispered, “You’re a fighter, aren’t you, boy? You deserve a chance to live.” However, after the surgery, he lost one leg, and still struggled with life and death. Over the next few weeks, Tripod, the cat, went through many ups and downs, but I was sure about his resilience (快速恢复的能力). News about Tripod spread. A number of customers stopped by regularly to check on the progress of his recovery, including Mrs Melson, a pet lover. 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。 The day finally came when I decided Tripod had really recovered. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Though unwilling to part with Tripod, we were happy to see Mrs Melson come for him. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 英语试题 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

At www. tripinsiders. org, we aim to provide you with the best insider secrets in the travel business. And on this website, we also offer a state-of-the-art travel comparison tool to make planning easier than ever. Here are some insider tips that we'd like to share with you about flights. Look for Glitch (小故障) Fares Online booking systems for airfare don’t come without a pricing mistake every once in a while. Follow deal-minded travel sites and blogs to learn about pricing mistakes that work in your favor. This is the most useful if you live near a major airport and have a flexible schedule. Consider Alternate Airports Some major cities have more than one airport, so make sure to check them all for the cheapest fares. For example, if you’re planning to visit the Bay Area of California, check for rates in both San Francisco International Airport and Oakland International Airport. Cross the Border by Land Domestic flights are often cheaper than international ones, so if you live near a border and want to fly to a neighboring country, you can save by crossing the border by land and then catching a domestic flight. For example, Toronto residents may save by crossing the American border into Buffalo and then flying to another American city. Use a Digital Luggage Scale There’s nothing more frustrating than learning that your bag is too heavy to fly or that it’ll cost you extra when you arrive at the airport. Digital luggage scales are great for making sure that you’re not going over the baggage limit with your new souvenirs. 21. What is the main purpose of www.tripinsiders.org ? A. To recommend travel websites. B. To fund the travel business. C. To advertise a travel agency. D. To uncover travel business secrets. 22. What is advised for air travel? A. Selecting airports. B. Flying the border. C. Carrying more baggage. D. Having a fixed schedule. 23. What do the four tips have in common? A. They cover all aspects of a trip. B. They help travelers save money. C. They merely apply to businessmen. D. They are only for Toronto residents. 【答案】21. D 22. A 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇应用文，介绍了四种能帮助旅行者省钱的小贴士。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“At www. tripinsiders. org, we aim to provide you with the best insider secrets in the travel business.(在www. tripinsiders. org网站，我们的目标是为您提供在旅游业务上最好的内幕秘密)”可知，该网站的目的是为了揭开旅游商业的秘密。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Consider Alternate Airports中关键句“Some major cities have more than one airport, so make sure to check them all for the cheapest fares.(一些大城市有不止一个机场，所以一定要检查所有机场，以获得最便宜的机票)”可知，作者建议在航空旅游中筛选最便宜的机场来省钱。故选A。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据Look for Glitch (小故障) Fares中关键句“Follow deal-minded travel sites and blogs to learn about pricing mistakes that work in your favor.(关注注重交易的旅游网站和博客，了解对你有利的定价错误)”；Consider Alternate Airports中关键句“Some major cities have more than one airport, so make sure to check them all for the cheapest fares.(一些大城市有不止一个机场，所以一定要检查所有机场，以获得最便宜的机票)”；Cross the Border by Land中关键句“Domestic flights are often cheaper than international ones, so if you live near a border and want to fly to a neighboring country, you can save by crossing the border by land and then catching a domestic flight.(国内航班通常比国际航班便宜，所以如果你住在边境附近，想飞往邻国，你可以通过陆路过境，然后乘坐国内航班)”及Use a Digital Luggage Scale中关键句“There’s nothing more frustrating than learning that your bag is too heavy to fly or that it’ll cost you extra when you arrive at the airport. Digital luggage scales are great for making sure that you’re not going over the baggage limit with your new souvenirs.(没有什么比得知你的行李太重而不能飞行或者当你到达机场时需要额外支付费用更令人沮丧的了。电子行李秤可以很好地确保你携带的新纪念品不会超过行李限额)”可推知，四个贴士都与节约费用有关，都能帮助旅行者省钱。故选B。 B Rolland and Adeline are proud parents to nine beautiful children. Their youngest two, daughter Lanto, and son, Rindra, were both born with cleft lip (唇裂) conditions. In Madagascar, many families have never seen a cleft lip before, so it’s a condition often greeted with fear and misfortune in some rural communities. However, the news of Lanto and Rindra’s cleft lip wasn’t much of a shock for Rolland and Adeline because Rolland’s cousin—a man in his fifties — had lived his entire adult life with an untreated cleft lip. Although seeing a relative with a cleft lip meant the family weren’t fearful of the condition, they knew the negative impact an untreated cleft lip can have on a person’s health and life. As all loving parents would, Rolland and Adeline wanted a better future for their children. Rolland heard an advertisement on the radio about an Operation Smile surgical programme in Antsirabe, Madagascar. Finding out that Rindra and Lanto could have the cleft lip surgery they needed, for free, was a dream for the family. Unlike here in the UK, health services aren’t free in many parts of the world, and the costs of treatment — or even travelling to reach medical facilities — are out of reach for most families. When Rolland and his children arrived at the patient village, they were surprised to see so many other families in the same position. After a thorough medical evaluation by medical volunteers, Lanto was found to be fit enough for surgery, and later got the new smile her parents had dreamed of for her. But, for younger brother Rindra, the journey to a new smile would take a little longer. Operation Smile has provided hundreds of thousands of safe surgeries for children with cleft lip conditions worldwide. For more information about our work or to find out how you can help, visit www.operationsmile.org. 24. What do most people think of cleft lip in Madagascar? A. It is incurable. B. It is normal. C. It is unavoidable. D. It is unlucky. 25. What kept the couple from being scared of their children’s situation? A. Their relative’s experience. B. Their children’s smile. C. Their love for their children. D. The advertisement they saw. 26. What should be done just before deciding on the surgery according to the text? A. Paying for the surgery. B. Staying in hospital. C. Having a health check. D. Seeking for a doctor. 27. What is the main purpose of the information in the last paragraph? A. For donations. B. For copyright. C. For commitment. D. For clarification. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了一对夫妇为患有唇裂的孩子求医，带着他们参加“微笑行动”免费医疗活动，并成功完成手术的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In Madagascar, many families have never seen a cleft lip before, so it’s a condition often greeted with fear and misfortune in some rural communities.(在马达加斯加，许多家庭以前从未见过唇裂，所以在一些农村社区，这种情况经常伴随着恐惧和不幸)”可知，在马达加斯加，人们认为唇裂是不幸的。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, the news of Lanto and Rindra’s cleft lip wasn’t much of a shock for Rolland and Adeline because Rolland’s cousin—a man in his fifties—had lived his entire adult life with an untreated cleft lip.(然而，兰托和林德拉唇裂的消息对罗兰和艾德琳来说并没有太大的震惊，因为罗兰的表弟——一个50多岁的男人——成年后一直患有未治疗的唇裂)”可知，罗兰和艾德琳这对夫妇不是很害怕唇裂，因为他们的亲戚也有类似的经历。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“After a thorough medical evaluation by medical volunteers, Lanto was found to be fit enough for surgery, and later got the new smile her parents had dreamed of for her.(经过医疗志愿者的全面医疗评估，兰托被发现适合做手术，后来她得到了父母梦寐以求的新笑容)”可推知，确定手术之前要进行全面的医疗检查和评估。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Operation Smile has provided hundreds of thousands of safe surgeries for children with cleft lip conditions worldwide. For more information about our work or to find out how you can help, visit www.operationsmile.org.(“微笑行动”已经为全世界成千上万的唇裂儿童提供了安全的手术。有关我们工作的更多信息或如何提供帮助，请访问www.operationsmile.org)”可知，文章最后一段的信息是为了给“微笑行动”免费医疗活动寻求更多的捐赠。故选A。 C For almost a century, Ecuador’s giant tortoises (陆龟) have been protected. These species are one of the largest living reptiles (爬行动物) on the planet. They live a very long life—the oldest tortoise on record was 175 years old. And, they all live on the Galapagos Islands. Hunting the tortoises is illegal under Ecuador’s laws but now the Attorney General’s office has opened an investigation into the remains of four tortoises that were found in the park. Tortoise meat is considered delicious, meaning there can be large financial gains made by wildlife hunters. “This is not an isolated incident,” said the Galápagos Conservancy, a US-based conservation organization in a statement. “In September 2021, the remains of 15 critically endangered giant tortoises from the subspecies Chelonoidisguntheri were found on Isabela. Evidence from the investigation showed that the reptiles had likely been hunted for consumption.” The islands are considered one of the world’s best places to see wildlife, and they’re home to animal and plant species that are found nowhere else in the world. The famously fearless wildlife is believed to have been a source of inspiration for Darwin’s theory of evolution, following his visit to the islands in 1835. The islands were actually discovered by accident in 1535, when a Spanish ship was blown off course while sailing from Panama to Peru. Ridiculously enough, the ship’s captain was unimpressed by the islands, writing to the king that they were “worthless”. In late August, a special unit for environmental crime traveled to the Galápagos Islands to investigate and interview park keepers about the incident. And when the keepers discovered four animal bodies on Isabela Island, just a few months after the discovery of 15 dead tortoises, environmentalists were shocked. There were once at least 250,000 tortoises on the islands. But now there are only fewer than 15,000 in the wild today, and two subspecies are already extinct. “Evidence from the 2021 investigation showed that the reptiles had likely been hunted for consumption,” Galapagos Conservancy continued. “Therefore, it comes as no surprise that many are worried that their population will continue to decrease if serious action isn’t taken soon.” 28. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The long life of the giant tortoises. B. The hunting of the tortoises in the park. C. The food consumption of the tortoises. D. The investigation into the remains of the tortoises. 29. Why is Darwin’s theory of evolution mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To show the value of the islands. B. To criticize the captain’s ignorance. C. To present Darwin’s great achievements. D. To raise people’s awareness of protecting the islands. 30. What does the author say about the tortoises in the last paragraph? A. It is not surprising that they are dying out. B. The population of them is on the sharp decline. C. Strict measures have been taken to protect them. D. They have been so popular because of their meat. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Reptiles Face Extinction in a Park of Ecuador B. How Are Galápagos Giant Tortoises Well Protected? C. Hunting Threatens Galápagos Giant Tortoises’ Survival D. Why Are Galápagos Giant Tortoises Called Fearless Reptiles? 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲的是主要讲述了厄瓜多尔的巨型陆龟在近一个世纪的保护下，仍面临非法猎杀的威胁。加拉帕戈斯群岛是这些世界上最大活爬行动物的家园，也是独特动植物的栖息地，对达尔文的进化论产生了重要影响。然而，近期在岛上发现了多起巨型陆龟被猎杀的事件，令环保人士震惊，并担忧如果不采取严厉措施，这些陆龟的数量将继续减少。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Hunting the tortoises is illegal under Ecuador’s laws, but now the Attorney General’s office has opened an investigation into the remains of four tortoises that were found in the park.(根据厄瓜多尔的法律，捕猎陆龟是非法的，但现在总检察长办公室已经开始对在公园里发现的四只陆龟的遗骸进行调查)”以及划线代词this所在的句子“This is not an isolated incident,” said the Galápagos Conservancy, a US-based conservation organization in a statement.(“这不是一个孤立的事件，”总部位于美国的保护组织加拉帕戈斯保护协会在一份声明中说)”可推断出this指代前面的“The hunting of the tortoises in the park”。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The islands are considered one of the world’s best places to see wildlife, and they’re home to animal and plant species that are found nowhere else in the world. The famously fearless wildlife is believed to have been a source of ins piration for Darwin’s theory of evolution, following his visit to the islands in 1835.(这些岛屿被认为是世界上观赏野生动物的最佳地点之一，它们是世界上其他地方找不到的动植物物种的家园。这种著名的无所畏惧的野生动物被认为是达尔文在1835年访问这些岛屿后提出进化论的灵感来源)”可推断出达尔文的进化论在第三段中被提及，以说明这些岛屿的价值，故选A。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“There were once at least 250,000 tortoises on the islands. But now there are only fewer than 15,000 in the wild today, and two subspecies are already extinct. “Evidence from the 2021 investigation showed that the reptiles had likely been hunted for consumption,” Galapagos Conservancy continued. “Therefore, it comes as no surprise that many are worried that their population will continue to decrease if serious action isn’t taken soon.”(岛上曾经至少有25万只陆龟。但现在野外只有不到15000只，两个亚种已经灭绝。加拉帕戈斯保护协会继续说：“2021年调查的证据表明，这些爬行动物很可能是为了消费而被猎杀的。”“因此，许多人担心，如果不尽快采取严肃的行动，它们的人口将继续减少，这并不奇怪。”)”可知作者在第三段主要介绍了陆龟数量的急剧下降，故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是第二段的“Hunting the tortoises is illegal under Ecuador’s laws, but now the Attorney General’s office has opened an investigation into the remains of four tortoises that were found in the park.(根据厄瓜多尔的法律，捕猎陆龟是非法的，但现在总检察长办公室已经开始对在公园里发现的四只陆龟的遗骸进行调查)”可知本文主要讲的是主要讲述了厄瓜多尔的巨型陆龟在近一个世纪的保护下，仍面临非法猎杀的威胁。加拉帕戈斯群岛是这些世界上最大活爬行动物的家园，也是独特动植物的栖息地，对达尔文的进化论产生了重要影响。然而，近期在岛上发现了多起巨型陆龟被猎杀的事件，令环保人士震惊，并担忧如果不采取严厉措施，这些陆龟的数量将继续减少。因此C项“狩猎威胁着加拉帕戈斯巨龟的生存”可以概括文意，可以作为本文标题，故选C。 D Scientists have long believed that Mars was wet around three billion years ago and then lost much of its water. But a new study presents evidence of water activity from about 700 million years ago, posing a new puzzle about Mars and its history for scientists to crack in their future studies. The new study is based on data from China’s Zhurong rover (“祝融号”火星车), part of the Tianwen-1 mission that touched down on the surface of Mars in May 2021. In particular, the scientists used data the rover gathered during its first 92 Martian days, at its landing site in Utopia Planitia. Yang Liu, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS), and his colleagues analyzed data from three different instruments on Zhurong. Those instruments studied minerals that suggest the presence of a large quantity of liquid water at the site about 700 million years ago, which scientists previously thought was dry. “This is a very interesting result. We have very little recorded evidence of young liquid water systems on Mars. And for the ones we have, they were usually in the form of salt minerals,” says Dr. Scheller, a scientist at the California Institute of Technology. He explained Zhurong’s instruments spotted water molecules locked away in the rock, which was different from other young liquid water environments that have been observed. “One of the major things we’ll have to find out and that I look forward to seeing from the Zhurong rover is how extensive these ‘young’ water-bearing minerals are,” Dr. Scheller said. “Are they common or uncommon in these ‘young’ rocks?” Zhurong has now covered about two kilometers during its more than 350 Martian days and has analyzed a range of features on its travels, meaning more new Martian insights are likely still to come from the rover. NASA has so far sent its Mars rovers to ancient landing sites, dating back to more than 3.7 billion years ago. Zhurong is not just an extra set of wheels on Mars, but a powerful suite of instruments exploring a new, geologically young site to open new windows of opportunity for research on Mars. 32. What does the underlined word “crack” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Keep. B. Doubt. C. Solve. D. Create. 33. What does the new study show according to paragraph 2? A. The inaccuracy of data gathered on Mars. B. Functional limitations of instruments on Mars. C. Main reasons for the failure of the Tianwen-1 mission. D. The misconception of past thinking about Martian water. 34. Which of the following does Dr. Scheller convey? A. The result has been recorded by many scientists. B. Zhurong’s wide analyses will bring more surprises. C. Salt minerals are younger than water-bear ing minerals. D. Young water-bearing minerals are common in young rocks. 35. Which word can best describe Zhurong? A. Ancient. B. Common. C. Alarming. D. Promising. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了科学家基于中国“祝融号”火星车收集的数据，对火星上大约7亿年前存在水活动的发现。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“posing a new puzzle about Mars and its history for scientists(给科学家们提出了一个关于火星及其历史的新难题)”可推测，这个新难题供科学家在未来的研究中解决。选项A“Keep(保持)”；选项B“Doubt(怀疑)”；选项C“Solve(解决)”；选项D“Create(创造)”。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“Yang Liu, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS), and his colleagues analyzed data from three different instruments on Zhurong. Those instruments studied minerals that suggest the presence of a large quantity of liquid water at the site about 700 million years ago, which scientists previously thought was dry.(来自中国科学院(CAS)的研究员刘洋和他的同事分析了“祝融”号上三种不同仪器的数据。这些仪器研究的矿物质表明，大约7亿年前，该地点存在大量液态水，而科学家此前认为那里是干燥的。)”可知，第二段中提到的新研究基于中国祝融号火星车收集的数据，提供了大约7亿年前火星上存在水活动的证据。这一发现挑战了之前关于火星在那个时期是干燥的假设，表明过去对火星水存在的理解是错误的或不完整的。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段““One of the major things we’ll have to find out and that I look forward to seeing from the Zhurong rover is how extensive these ‘young’ water-bearing minerals are,” Dr. Scheller said. “Are they common or uncommon in these ‘young’ rocks?” Zhurong has now covered about two kilometers during its more than 350 Martian days and has analyzed a range of features on its travels, meaning more new Martian insights are likely still to come from the rover.(“我们必须弄清楚的一件重要事情是，这些’年轻的’含水矿物有多广泛，这也是我期待从祝融探测器上看到的，” Scheller博士说。“它们在这些’年轻’的岩石中是常见的还是不常见的？”在火星上的350多天里，祝融号已经行驶了大约两公里，并在旅途中分析了一系列特征，这意味着祝融号可能还会有更多新的火星洞察。)”可知，Scheller博士认为随着祝融号对更多岩石进行更广泛的化学和矿物学分析，可能会发现更多这样的岩石，并可能揭示火星在数十亿年前是否比人们目前所知道的更加潮湿。这表明他相信祝融号的进一步分析将会带来关于火星历史的更多新发现或“惊喜”。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Zhurong is not just an extra set of wheels on Mars, but a powerful suite of instruments exploring a new, geologically young site to open new windows of opportunity for research on Mars.(祝融号火星车不仅是火星上的一组额外的轮子，而且是一套强大的仪器，探索一个新的、地质年轻的地点，为火星研究打开新的机会之窗。)”再结合上文可知，祝融号收集了重要的数据，这些数据挑战了关于火星及其水历史的先前假设。文章还提到，Scheller博士认为祝融号的进一步分析可能会揭示更多关于火星湿润过去的细节。这表明祝融号有潜力提供更多见解和发现，使其成为一个有前景的火星车。故选D。 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。 Steps Towards Unlocking Your Inner Wisdom At the core of your life lies sense, a powerful force that exists within.

I was writing up medical records of the surgery patients when my receptionist (接待员) stuck her head into my office. She told me there was a big cat lying outside with a seriously injured front leg. What’s worse, nobody knew whom it belonged to. Then I sent two of my pre-vet students to pick up the poor cat while I went back to my record-keeping. But it wasn’t long before I heard the students returning with this newest patient who seemed to be in pretty bad condition. I carefully checked up the injuries which seemed to be caused by the pressing of a heavy object. With the extremely horrible smell, I knew from years of experience this cat didn’t have an owner. “Well, then,” I sighed, “I’m not sure whether we are able to bring this cat back to life, but let’s give him our best shot anyway. Afterwards, let’s see if we can find a home for him. ” Just then, when one of the students began touching the cat’s head gently, somewhere deep in the cat’s throat, a weak purr (呼噜声) began. As the student continued to pet the cat, I noticed the cat’s breathing became less laboured (缓慢而困难的). When I performed the complicated operation, I whispered, “You’re a fighter, aren’t you, boy? You deserve a chance to live.” However, after the surgery, he lost one leg, and still struggled with life and death. Over the next few weeks, Tripod, the cat, went through many ups and downs, but I was sure about his resilience (快速恢复的能力). News about Tripod spread. A number of customers stopped by regularly to check on the progress of his recovery, including Mrs Melson, a pet lover. 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。 The day finally came when I decided Tripod had really recovered. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Though unwilling to part with Tripod, we were happy to see Mrs Melson come for him. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： The day finally came when I decided Tripod had really recovered. The signs of his improvement became increasingly evident. The wounds began to close and the fur started to grow back, which was once a constant reminder of the accident gradually disappeared. His appetite slowly returned, his purrs growing louder. He had gained almost five pounds and was getting around well on his three legs. The once dying creature now showed glimmers, curiosity and an enthusiasm for life in his eyes. Everyone in the clinic had grown to love this three-legged fighter. Though unwilling to part with Tripod, we were happy to see Mrs Melson come for him. Drawn to Tripod’s story, the lady expressed her desire to provide him with a loving home. After careful consideration and discussions, we agreed that Mrs Melson would be the perfect family for Tripod. As Tripod settled into his new home, he quickly adapted, becoming a cherished member of the family. His tale of resilience and recovery inspired many, and the clinic continued its mission to care for animals in need, honoring the spirit of compassion and dedication that had saved Tripod’s life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在诊所遇到了受伤的猫，猫失去了一条腿，在作者的照顾下，逐渐康复，诊所里的人也都喜欢上了这只猫，取名Tripod。最后Tripod被一位夫人收养了，很快适应了环境，成为了这个家庭的宝贵成员。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“终于有一天，我认定Tripod真的康复了”可知，第一段可描写Tripod康复的经过以及得到了大家的喜爱。 ②由第二段首句内容“虽然我们不愿意和Tripod分开，但我们很高兴看到梅尔森太太来接他”可知，第二段可描写Tripod被人收养以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：Tripod康复——Tripod体重增加——Tripod得到大家喜爱——Tripod被梅尔森太太收养——Tripod成为家庭成员——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①消失：disappear/vanish ②继续：continue/go on ③表达：express/extend 情绪类 ①珍爱：cherished/beloved ②热情：enthusiasm/passion 【点睛】[高分句型1] The wounds began to close and the fur started to grow back, which was once a constant reminder of the accident gradually disappeared.
