B During summer vacations, I often went to the Outrigger Canoe Club on Waikiki Beach to swim, because the club was usually empty at that hour. There was one other club member who would turn up early on summer mornings, though. One morning when I’d arrived at the club earlier than usual, he walked past me on his way to the water. Then he stopped. “How would you like to swim against me? Just for fun, I mean.” he asked. “Now? Against you?” I looked at him in surprise. “It’s just about 200 yards.” He pointed in that direction and smiled at me. “Okay.” I said. Teenagers are often very competitive, and I was no different. Though I was confident of winning, I started out as fast as I could go. When we reached the beach wall, I was already about three quarters exhausted. But he didn’t look tired at all. By the end of this game, my legs were in knots. My arms and shoulders were numb. I wanted very badly to quit and walk the rest of the way. But I struggled and made it. Ten minutes later my friend, Sammy Kauua, arrived. I told him some of what had happened. Sammy laughed. “Are you kidding? That’s Matthew Biondi. He won gold medals at the Olympics. I guess he’s pretty good for sure!” Several days later when I saw Matthew Biondi on the beach, I talked to him and asked how an athlete could become good enough to win in the Olympics. He told me he did most of his swimming at the beach and then added, “I swam because I liked it. It was always fun, and I was pretty good at it. We trained all right, but mostly we just swam. It was natural. I always enjoyed doing it.” I was disappointed at the time because there was no easy answer there, no secret for success as an athlete. Thinking back on it now, though, I find the answer he gave me very appealing. 24. How did the author feel about beating Matthew Biondi at first? A. A little afraid. B. Quite sure. C. Nervous. D. Doubtful. 25. From the text we can know that Matthew Biondi _______. A. was an Olympic champion B. was Sammy Kauua’s good friend C. did not spend much time swimming D. did not defeat the author in the competition 26. According to what Matthew Biondi said in Paragraph 5, what matters most in winning in the Olympics? A. Swimming at the beach. B. Support from his family. C. A natural swimming ability. D. Interest in swimming. C Rising temperatures driven by the climate crisis are cutting the sleep of people across the world, the largest study to date has found. The researchers used data from sleep-tracking wristbands used by 47000 people over seven months and across 68 countries. The analysis revealed that because of increasing night-time temperatures, the average global citizen is losing 44 hours of sleep a year. However, lost sleep affects some groups much more than others. The sleep loss per degree of warming is about a quarter higher for women than men, twice as high for those over 65years old and three times higher for those in less wealthy nations, where people have less access to cooling equipment. Previous studies have shown that rising temperatures damage health, including increasing heart attacks, mental health crises, and accidents and injuries. Poor sleep has also been shown to have these effects, and the researchers say their new study suggests that disturbed sleep may be a key mechanism (体内机制) by which heat causes these health impacts. The researchers say their data shows no signs of people being able to adapt to hotter nights. “In this study, we provide the first planetary-scale (世界范围的) evidence that warmer than average temperatures cut human sleep,” said Kelton Minor, who led the research. “It’s very likely the effect is more serious.” Minor added that the research had important implications for policymakers, who need to ensure cities, towns and buildings are well adapted to heat in order to reduce the health impacts. The data used in the study came mainly from richer nations. The wristbands also tended to be worn by people less prone (易于遭受) to sleep disturbance by warmer temperatures. “Lower-income people are underrepresented in the data and we’re well aware of that,” said Minor. He said more research was needed, particularly in places that are already among the hottest in the world. 27. In Paragraph 2, the author expresses his idea mainly by ______. A. telling a story B. giving examples C. using quotes D. listing figures 28. How do increasing temperatures affect people? A. They limit people’s income. B. They improve people’s health. C. They reduce people’s sleep time. D. They lead to poor relationship between people. 29. What can be learned from Kelton Minor’s words in Paragraph 5? A. Heat’s impacts may be worse than expected. B. Policymakers have doubts about the study. C The study adopted a new research method. D. Some cities have taken further action to fight the heat. 30. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______. A. the study is widely applied in the world B. the study is significant in sleeping research C. the study has its limitation in some aspects D. the study can represent the low-income people D As we all know, our oceans are filled with garbage. Broken objects, used plastic bottles and so on fill our beaches and cover the ocean floor, doing huge damage to ocean creatures. Many individuals and organizations are working to remove this garbage, and recent technological developments have given them a new tool to do so: the trash-eating robot. Robots of various shapes have been designed to collect garbage that they find floating in the ocean. For example, the French company IADMEEYS has developed what it calls the jellyfishbot. This small robot gathers up everything it meets, including liquid hydrocarbons (碳氢化合物) such as gasoline and oil. The jellyfishbot is remotely controlled and can clean up to 1,000 square meters per hour. The jellyfishbots’ small size and ability to be easily controlled make them ideal for cleaning up crowded areas such as ports. For larger, more open areas, a much larger robot called the Interceptor has a similar function. Designed for use on rivers, the Interceptor looks like a boat with a conveyor belt (传送带) that picks up trash. Once a sensor indicates that the rubbish bins are full, the Interceptor automatically sends a text message to onshore operators. These operators collect and empty the rubbish bins, sending the garbage to local waste management facilities. The Interceptor’s name comes from the verb intercept because its purpose is to prevent trash from getting to the ocean. Most of the garbage in the oceans comes down rivers. Cleaning up trash that litters the ocean is good, but to keep the oceans clean, new garbage must be kept from getting there. Therefore, the Interceptor is used to prevent pollution before it enters the ocean. The Interceptor is completely solar-powered and operates on its own, which minimizes the need for human involvement. Robots are able to clean up large amounts of garbage without humans struggling through beach cleanup by hand. Hopefully, they can be a big part of the solution to ocean pollution. 31. The author writes the first paragraph mainly to ______. A. make a definition B. explain the argument C. lead in the topic D. make a comparison 32. What do the jellyfishbot and the Interceptor have in common? A. They are both solar-powered. B. They need no human operation. C. They can only clean up the crowded ports. D. They can play a role in solving ocean pollution. 33. What does the underlined word “intercept” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Check. B. Stop. C. Sort. D. Collect. 34. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Severe Ocean Pollution B The Development of the Robot C. The Hug e Damage to Ocean Creatures D. The Promising Tool to Ocean Pollution 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Art is a wonderful thing that can enrich our spiritual life. It comes in two main types: realistic and abstract (抽象的). Realistic art aims to show real-life scenes, people, and objects exactly as they appear. It involves paying close attention to details, making things look like photographs. ____35____ It’s more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas. Realistic art is easy to understand. ____36____ Take the Mona Lisa, for example—it’s a realistic painting of a lady with a mysterious smile. Artworks like this tell stories about history and everyday life, helping us to learn about the past. Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative. ____37____ They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things to different people. Some people enjoy trying to figure out what the artwork expresses. ____38____ Realistic art needs drawing or sculpting exactly to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to show their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity. As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the art world various and engaging. ____39____ A. Both types of art take skills to make. B. Viewers can easily recognize what is pictured. C. Mastering abstract art needs more artistic training. D. Photographs show imaginary life of people from long ago. E. Both ways of creating art have their own value and beauty. F. In contrast, abstract art focuses less on realistic appearances. G. Artists have the freedom to go beyond real-life representations. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英语回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. The effort made in vain is unavoidable in some rescue work. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful. I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl (猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety. I examined the chick (雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree. The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down. Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring. A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so. 40. Why does the author think that the effort is in vain in some rescue work? ______________________________________________________________________________ 41. What did the author do to make the chick calm down? ______________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. The young owl in the nest looked healthy and active, and the homeowner’s parents prepared some lunch for the chick. ______________________________________________________________________________ 43.

There was one other club member who would turn up early on summer mornings, though. One morning when I’d arrived at the club earlier than usual, he walked past me on his way to the water. Then he stopped. “How would you like to swim against me? Just for fun, I mean.” he asked. “Now? Against you?” I looked at him in surprise. “It’s just about 200 yards.” He pointed in that direction and smiled at me. “Okay.” I said. Teenagers are often very competitive, and I was no different. Though I was confident of winning, I started out as fast as I could go. When we reached the beach wall, I was already about three quarters exhausted. But he didn’t look tired at all. By the end of this game, my legs were in knots. My arms and shoulders were numb. I wanted very badly to quit and walk the rest of the way. But I struggled and made it. Ten minutes later my friend, Sammy Kauua, arrived. I told him some of what had happened. Sammy laughed. “Are you kidding? That’s Matthew Biondi. He won gold medals at the Olympics. I guess he’s pretty good for sure!” Several days later when I saw Matthew Biondi on the beach, I talked to him and asked how an athlete could become good enough to win in the Olympics. He told me he did most of his swimming at the beach and then added, “I swam because I liked it. It was always fun, and I was pretty good at it. We trained all right, but mostly we just swam. It was natural. I always enjoyed doing it.” I was disappointed at the time because there was no easy answer there, no secret for success as an athlete. Thinking back on it now, though, I find the answer he gave me very appealing. 24. How did the author feel about beating Matthew Biondi at first? A. A little afraid. B. Quite sure. C. Nervous. D. Doubtful. 25. From the text we can know that Matthew Biondi _______. A was an Olympic champion B. was Sammy Kauua’s good friend C. did not spend much time swimming D. did not defeat the author in the competition 26. According to what Matthew Biondi said in Paragraph 5, what matters most in winning in the Olympics? A. Swimming at the beach. B. Support from his family. C. A natural swimming ability. D. Interest in swimming. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在夏季度假时经常到Waikiki海滩的Outrigger Canoe Club游泳，并意外地与奥运会金牌得主Matthew Biondi进行了一场游泳比赛的经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Teenagers are often very competitive, and I was no different. Though I was confident of winning, I started out as fast as I could go.(青少年通常都很好胜，我也不例外。虽然我对获胜充满信心，但我还是以最快的速度出发了。)”可知，作者一开始对于打败Matthew Biondi充满信心。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Ten minutes later my friend, Sammy Kauua, arrived. I told him some of what had happened. Sammy laughed. “Are you kidding? That’s Matthew Biondi. He won gold medals at the Olympics. I guess he’s pretty good for sure!”(十分钟后，我的朋友Sammy Kauua来了。我把发生的事情告诉了他一些。Sammy笑了。“你在开玩笑吧？这是Matthew Biondi。他在奥运会上获得了金牌。我想他肯定很厉害! ”)”可知，Matthew Biondi是奥运冠军。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Several days later when I saw Matthew Biondi on the beach, I talked to him and asked how an athlete could become good enough to win in the Olympics. He told me he did most of his swimming at the beach and then added, “I swam because I liked it. It was always fun, and I was pretty good at it. We trained all right, but mostly we just swam. It was natural. I always enjoyed doing it.”(几天后，当我在海滩上看到Matthew Biondi时，我和他聊天，问他一个运动员怎样才能变得足够优秀，在奥运会上获胜。他告诉我他大部分时间都在海滩游泳，然后补充说：“我游泳是因为我喜欢它。它总是很有趣，我也很擅长。我们训练得不错，但大部分时间我们只是游泳。这是很自然的。我一直很喜欢做这件事。”)”可知， Matthew Biondi认为在奥运会上获胜的关键是对游泳的兴趣。故选D。 C Rising temperatures driven by the climate crisis are cutting the sleep of people across the world, the largest study to date has found. The researchers used data from sleep-tracking wristbands used by 47,000 people over seven months and across 68 countries. The analysis revealed that because of increasing night-time temperatures, the average global citizen is losing 44 hours of sleep a year. However, lost sleep affects some groups much more than others. The sleep loss per degree of warming is about a quarter higher for women than men, twice as high for those over 65years old and three times higher for those in less wealthy nations, where people have less access to cooling equipment. Previous studies have shown that rising temperatures damage health, including increasing heart attacks, mental health crises, and accidents and injuries. Poor sleep has also been shown to have these effects, and the researchers say their new study suggests that disturbed sleep may be a key mechanism (体内机制) by which heat causes these health impacts. The researchers say their data shows no signs of people being able to adapt to hotter nights. “In this study, we provide the first planetary-scale (世界范围的) evidence that warmer than average temperatures cut human sleep,” said Kelton Minor, who led the research. “It’s very likely the effect is more serious.” Minor added that the research had important implications for policymakers, who need to ensure cities, towns and buildings are well adapted to heat in order to reduce the health impacts. The data used in the study came mainly from richer nations. The wristbands also tended to be worn by people less prone (易于遭受) to sleep disturbance by warmer temperatures. “Lower-income people are underrepresented in the data and we’re well aware of that,” said Minor. He said more research was needed, particularly in places that are already among the hottest in the world. 27. In Paragraph 2, the author expresses his idea mainly by ______. A. telling a story B. giving examples C. using quotes D. listing figures 28. How do increasing temperatures affect people? A. They limit people’s income. B. They improve people’s health. C. They reduce people’s sleep time. D. They lead to poor relationship between people. 29. What can be learned from Kelton Minor’s words in Paragraph 5? A. Heat’s impacts may be worse than expected. B. Policymakers have doubts about the study. C. The study adopted a new research method. D. Some cities have taken further action to fight the heat. 30. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______. A. the study is widely applied in the world B. the study is significant in sleeping research C. the study has its limitation in some aspects D. the study can represent the low-income people 【答案】27. D 28. C 29. A 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了气候危机导致的气温上升会缩短世界各地人们的睡眠时间。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The researchers used data from sleep-tracking wristbands used by 47,000 people over seven months and across 68 countries. The analysis revealed that because of increasing night-time temperatures, the average global citizen is losing 44 hours of sleep a year.(研究人员使用了68个国家47000人在7个月内使用的睡眠追踪腕带的数据。分析显示，由于夜间气温升高，全球公民平均每年损失44小时的睡眠时间)”可知，本段作者主要通过列举数字来表达自己的观点。故选D项。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The analysis revealed that because of increasing night-time temperatures, the average global citizen is losing 44 hours of sleep a year.(分析显示，由于夜间气温升高，全球公民平均每年损失44小时的睡眠时间)”可知，气温升高，缩短了人们睡眠的时间，故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段““In this study, we provide the first planetary-scale (世界范围的) evidence that warmer than average temperatures cut human sleep,” said Kelton Minor, who led the research. “It’s very likely the effect is more serious.” Minor added that the research had important implications for policymakers, who need to ensure cities, towns and buildings are well adapted to heat in order to reduce the health impacts.( Kelton Minor说道：“在这项研究中，我们提供了第一个世界范围的证据，表明高于平均水平高的气温会缩短人类的睡眠。这种影响很可能更严重。” Minor补充道，这项研究对于政策制定者有着重要的影响，他们需要确保城市、城镇和建筑物能够很好地适应高温，以减少对健康的影响)”可知，从Kelton Minor的话中，我们可以知道高温的影响可能比估计中更加严重，故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Lower-income people are underrepresented in the data and we’re well aware of that,” said Minor. He said more research was needed, particularly in places that are already among the hottest in the world.( Minor说道：“低收入人群在数据中的代表性不足，我们很清楚这一点。”他说，还需要做更多的研究，尤其在世界上已经是最热的地区。)”可知，最后一段主要说明这项研究的局限性，数据的代表性不足，且需要在已经是最热的地区做进一步的研究，故选C项。 D As we all know, our oceans are filled with garbage. Broken objects, used plastic bottles and so on fill our beaches and cover the ocean floor, doing huge damage to ocean creatures. Many individuals and organizations are working to remove this garbage, and recent technological developments have given them a new tool to do so: the trash-eating robot. Robots of various shapes have been designed to collect garbage that they find floating in the ocean. For example, the French company IADMEEYS has developed what it calls the jellyfishbot. This small robot gathers up everything it meets, including liquid hydrocarbons (碳氢化合物) such as gasoline and oil. The jellyfishbot is remotely controlled and can clean up to 1,000 square meters per hour. The jellyfishbots’ small size and ability to be easily controlled make them ideal for cleaning up crowded areas such as ports. For larger, more open areas, a much larger robot called the Interceptor has a similar function. Designed for use on rivers, the Interceptor looks like a boat with a conveyor belt (传送带) that picks up trash. Once a sensor indicates that the rubbish bins are full, the Interceptor automatically sends a text message to onshore operators. These operators collect and empty the rubbish bins, sending the garbage to local waste management facilities. The Interceptor’s name comes from the verb intercept because its purpose is to prevent trash from getting to the ocean. Most of the garbage in the oceans comes down rivers. Cleaning up trash that litters the ocean is good, but to keep the oceans clean, new garbage must be kept from getting there. Therefore, the Interceptor is used to prevent pollution before it enters the ocean. The Interceptor is completely solar-powered and operates on its own, which minimizes the need for human involvement. Robots are able to clean up large amounts of garbage without humans struggling through beach cleanup by hand. Hopefully, they can be a big part of the solution to ocean pollution. 31. The author writes the first paragraph mainly to ______. A. make a definition B. explain the argument C. lead in the topic D. make a comparison 32. What do the jellyfishbot and the Interceptor have in common? A. They are both solar-powered. B. They need no human operation. C. They can only clean up the crowded ports. D. They can play a role in solving ocean pollution. 33. What does the underlined word “intercept” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Check. B. Stop. C. Sort. D. Collect. 34. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Severe Ocean Pollution B. The Development of the Robot C. The Hug e Damage to Ocean Creatures D. The Promising Tool to Ocean Pollution 【答案】31. C 32. D 33. B 34. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是处理海洋垃圾的机器人的相关情况。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“As we all know, our oceans are filled with garbage. Broken objects, used plastic bottles and so on fill our beaches and cover the ocean floor, doing huge damage to ocean creatures. Many individuals and organizations are working to remove this garbage, and recent technological developments have given them a new tool to do so: the trash-eating robot.(我们都知道，我们的海洋充满了垃圾。破碎的物体，用过的塑料瓶等填满了我们的海滩，覆盖了海底，对海洋生物造成了巨大的伤害。许多个人和组织都在努力清除这些垃圾，最近的技术发展为他们提供了一种新的工具：吃垃圾的机器人)”可知，第一段的目的是通过讲述海洋污染引出主题——吃垃圾的机器人。故选C项。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The jellyfishbot is remotely controlled and can clean up to 1,000 square meters per hour.(水母机器人是远程控制的，每小时可以清理1000平方米的垃圾)”和第三段的“Once a sensor indicates that the rubbish bins are full, the Interceptor automatically sends a text message to onshore operators. These operators collect and empty the rubbish bins, sending the garbage to local waste management facilities.(一旦传感器显示垃圾桶已满，拦截器就会自动向岸上操作人员发送信息。这些操作人员收集并清空垃圾桶，将垃圾送到当地的垃圾管理设施。)”可知，水母机器人和拦截器的共同点在于它们都是远程控制的，故选D项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段的“because its purpose is to prevent trash from getting to the ocean.(因为它的目的是防止垃圾进入海洋)”可知，划线词所在的句子的意思是“拦截器的名字来源于动词拦截，因为它的目的是防止垃圾进入海洋”，因此intercept的意思是“防止，阻止”，和stop意思相近，故选B项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Robots of various shapes have been designed to collect garbage that they find floating in the ocean.(各种形状的机器人被设计用来收集漂浮在海洋中的垃圾)”以及最后一段“Robots are able to clean up large amounts of garbage without humans struggling through beach cleanup by hand. Hopefully, they can be a big part of the solution to ocean pollution.(机器人能够清理大量垃圾，而无需人类手工清理海滩。希望它们能成为海洋污染解决方案的重要组成部分)”以及纵观全文可知，本文介绍的是处理海洋垃圾的机器人的相关情况，所以D项“The Promising Tool to Ocean Pollution(有希望的海洋污染治理工具)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Art is a wonderful thing that can enrich our spiritual life. It comes in two main types: realistic and abstract (抽象的). Realistic art aims to show real-life scenes, people, and objects exactly as they appear. It involves paying close attention to details, making things look like photographs. ____35____ It’s more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas. Realistic art is easy to understand. ____36____ Take the Mona Lisa, for example—it’s a realistic painting of a lady with a mysterious smile. Artworks like this tell stories about history and everyday life, helping us to learn about the past. Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative. ____37____ They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things to different people. Some people enjoy trying to figure out what the artwork expresses. ____38____ Realistic art needs drawing or sculpting exactly to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to show their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity. As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the art world various and engaging. ____39____ A. Both types of art take skills to make. B. Viewers can easily recognize what is pictured. C. Mastering abstract art needs more artistic training. D. Photographs show imaginary life of people from long ago. E. Both ways of creating art have their own value and beauty. F. In contrast, abstract art focuses less on realistic appearances. G. Artists have the freedom to go beyond real-life representations. 【答案】35. F 36. B 37. G 38. A 39. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了艺术的两种主要类型——现实主义艺术和抽象艺术，并详细描述了它们的特点、创作方式以及它们在艺术世界中的价值和美。 【35题详解】 根据空前内容“It comes in two main types: realistic and abstract（抽象的）. Realistic art aims to show real-life scenes, people, and objects exactly as they appear. It involves paying close attention to details, making things look like photographs.(它有两种主要类型：现实主义艺术和抽象艺术。现实主义艺术旨在准确地展示现实生活中的场景、人物和物体。它涉及到对细节的密切关注，使事物看起来像照片。)”可知，上文讲述艺术有两种类型，并介绍了现实主义艺术。由此可推测，空处将介绍抽象艺术。选项F“In contrast, abstract art focuses less on realistic appearances.(相比之下，抽象艺术不太注重现实的外表。)”延续上文内容，开始介绍抽象艺术，和空后“It’s more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas.(更多的是表达感觉、情感和想法。)”保持一致。故选F。 【36题详解】 根据空前内容“Realistic art is easy to understand.(现实主义艺术容易理解。)”可知，现实主义艺术容易理解。选项B“Viewers can easily recognize what is pictured(观众可以很容易地识别出所描绘的内容)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是观众很容易识别现实主义艺术所描绘的内容。故选B。 【37题详解】 根据空前内容“Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative.(与现实主义艺术不同，抽象艺术更注重创造性。)”可知，抽象艺术更具创造性。再根据第一段“It’s more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas.(更多的是表达感觉、情感和想法。)”可知，抽象艺术更多的是表达感觉、情感和想法。选项G“Artists have the freedom to go beyond real-life representations.(艺术家有超越现实生活表现的自由。)”延续上文内容，指的是抽象艺术家会有超越现实生活表现的自由，作品更具创造性。同时引出下文“They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas.(他们用形状、颜色和图案来表达感情和想法。)”，从而与上文呼应，指的是抽象艺术家会有超越现实生活的表现，用形状、颜色和图案来表达感情和想法。故选G。 【38题详解】 空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“Realistic art needs drawing or sculpting exactly to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to show their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity.(现实主义艺术需要绘画或雕刻，使事物看起来真实。抽象艺术需要想象力，以新的方式使用形状和颜色。许多艺术家在这两方面都很熟练。他们创作现实的作品来展示他们的技术技能，抽象的作品来展示他们的创造力。)”可知，本段讲述的是这两种艺术类型都需要一定的技巧。选项A“Both types of art take skills to make.(这两种艺术都需要技巧。)”正是本段内容的总结，并引出下文两种艺术类型的技巧。故选A。 【39题详解】 根据上文内容“As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the art world various and engaging.(就个人喜好而言，有些人更喜欢现实主义艺术的清晰故事，而有些人则被抽象艺术的神秘感所吸引，在形状和形式中诠释意义。这两种艺术共同使艺术界丰富多彩，引人入胜。)”可知，这两种艺术都有优点，共同使艺术界丰富多彩，引人入胜。选项E“Both ways of creating art have their own value and beauty(这两种艺术创作方式都有它们自己的价值和美。)”总结上文，指出两种艺术方式都有自己的价值和美。故选E。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英语回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. The effort made in vain is unavoidable in some rescue work. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful. I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl (猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety. I examined the chick (雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree. The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down. Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring. A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so. 40. Why does the author think that the effort is in vain in some rescue work? ______________________________________________________________________________ 41. What did the author do to make the chick calm down? ______________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. The young owl in the nest looked healthy and active, and the homeowner’s parents prepared some lunch for the chick. ______________________________________________________________________________ 43. What can you do to help animals in need?（in about 40 words） ______________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. Because trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking and survival is never certain. 41. （1）The author placed the chick in the nest. （2）The author constructed a nest for the chick and put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. 42. The young owl in the nest looked healthy and active, and the homeowner’s parents prepared some lunch for the chick. It is not the homeowner’s parents but the young owl’s parents that prepared some lunch for the chick. 43. To help animals in need, I can volunteer at a local animal shelter or wildlife rescue organization. By providing food, shelter, and medical care, I can give these animals a second chance at life. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了作者救助一只小猫头鹰，给它做新的窝，帮助它回到父母身边的故事。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. The effort made in vain is unavoidable in some rescue work.(试图帮助受伤、流离失所或生病的生物可能会令人心碎；生死未卜。在一些救援工作中，徒劳无功是不可避免的)”可知，因为试图帮助受伤的、流离失所的或生病的生物可能会令人心碎，而且生死未定，所以作者认为在一些救援工作中努力是徒劳的。故回答：Because trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking and survival is never certain. 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“I examined the chick (雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree. The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.(我检查了雏鸟，它看起来很好。如果我能找到鸟巢，我也许能把它放回去，但运气不好。我的下一个工作是建造一个巢，并把它固定在一棵树上。房主非常乐于助人。发现了一个铁丝篮子。我在篮子里放了一些松枝，使这个窝既安全又舒适。我把雏鸟放在窝里，它很快就安静下来了)”可知，作者把雏鸟放到鸟窝里，它很快就安静下来了。故回答：The author placed the chick in the nest.或者The author constructed a nest for the chick and put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段“A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.(一个紧张的夜晚是肯定的，但有时大自然的精神向我们所有人微笑!房主打电话说，孩子的父母已经对录音做出了回应。我开车过去，看到窝里的小鸡看起来既健康又活跃。在巢里，伴随着它的是最壮观的景象——午餐!父母已经尽了他们的责任，而且很可能会继续这样做)”可知，为小猫头鹰准备午餐的不是房主的父母，而是小猫头鹰的父母。故回答：The young owl in the nest looked healthy and active, and the homeowner’s parents prepared some lunch for the chick. It is not the homeowner’s parents but the young owl’s parents that prepared some lunch for the chick. 【43题详解】 开放性问题。为了帮助有需要的动物，我可以在当地的动物收容所或野生动物救援组织做志愿者。通过提供食物、住所和医疗护理，我可以给这些动物第二次生命。故回答：To help animals in need, I can volunteer at a local animal shelter or wildlife rescue organization.

Knowing you are interested in this, I am writing to invite you to join us. The event will be held at the school hall from 2:00 to 4:00 next Thursday afternoon. We will start with a lecture about paper cutting followed by a hands-on session with the artists guiding us. Then we can put up our paper cuts on the wall to display our outcomes.
