The airport was constructed in the 1950s.It has an indoor garden, a children's playground，and over 70 food businesses in Terminal 3 alone. The Shanghai World Financial Centre Completed in 2008, SWFC took over 10 years to complete due to shortages of money and the construction delays.Since its completion, it has won countless architectural awards. Tourists are welcome at SWFC's viewing platform, which is the world's highest closed viewing platform.

Among the offerings of the Water Cube are a restaurant, a bar, a shopping area, and Water World, a family water park. The Bird's Nest It was designed mainly for the 2008 Summer Olympics.It can hold up to 80，000 people.Nowadays, it also functions as a tourist attraction.It makes money from tourism.It draws more than 20，000 tourists every day. The National Centre for the Performing Arts It was completed in 2007.The building is surrounded by a man­made lake, requiring guests to enter through an underground hallway.It is home to an opera hall, a music hall, and a theatre. 1．Why was the construction of Shanghai World Financial Centre delayed? A．It needed more construction workers. B．It was short of money. C．It added an extra viewing platform. D．It faced too much terrible weather. 2．How does the Bird's Nest operate daily?

B Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy.After climbing up a hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama. Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view.Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view. Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated.Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so.She seemed so content in her observation.I didn't want to mess with that. Another 15 minutes passed and I grew exhausted.The woman was still there.I decided to take the photo anyway.And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting.The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it. This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom.What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured and frozen on some stranger's bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don't even know has been immortalized (使……永存)．In some ways, she lives in my house. Perhaps we all live in each other's spaces.Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us. That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass. 4．Why did the writer and the woman both came here? A．To have fun together. B．To enjoy the beautiful scenery. C．To take pictures of the landscape. D．To do research on the environment. 5．What made the writer feel annoyed? A．The woman was too noisy. B．Her camera stopped working. C．She was forbidden to take photos there. D．The woman blocked her view. 6．In the author's opinion, what makes the photo so alive? A．The rich color of the landscape. B．The perfect positioning of the camera. C．The woman's existence in the photo. D．The soft sunlight that summer day. 7．The passage can be seen as the author's reflections on ________． A．the art of photography B．the friendship between two strangers C．the writer's attitude to the landscape D．a particular life experience of the writer C Animal populations across the world have been reduced by 69% in less than 50 years, according to a new scientific report.The report's authors are calling for urgent action to restore the natural world. The Living Planet Report (LPR) is produced every two years by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the Zoological Society of London.The most recent report, released on October 13, 2022, shows that almost 70% of the world's monitored wildlife was lost between 1970 and 2018.The report is based on research from 195 countries around the world.Data was collected from almost 32，000 populations of 5，230 species. Although the average global loss of wildlife is 69%, the rate is greater in the global south.Latin America and the Caribbean in particular have seen the sharpest fall, having lost 94% of their wildlife since 1970.Across the world, the biggest drop was in freshwater populations of wildlife—including almost 1，400 species of mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles—which have decreased by 83%. The report identifies several causes for wildlife loss, including hunting, farming, the loss of forests, pollution and climate change.However, the report also promotes solutions, such as designing less destructive food production systems, urgently protecting the Amazon rainforest, limiting the use of fossil fuels, and creating new laws to protect our natural environment. Commenting on the report, Marco Lambertini, director general of WWF International, called the figures “terrifying”， and said “we need to restore nature and not simply halt its loss.” In December 2022, world leaders are meeting in Montreal for the 15th UN Biodiversity Conference, also known as COP 15.The authors of the LPR say that this is an opportunity for a global plan to deal with wildlife loss and restore nature.“Government leaders must step up at COP 15，” said Lambertini.“The world is watching.” 8．What does the author mainly want to show by listing the numbers in the first three paragraphs? A．The causes of the urgent situation. B．The detailed process of the research. C．The severity of wildlife loss worldwide. D．The drop in freshwater populations of wildlife? 9．According to the report, what is a possible solution to population decline of wildlife? A．Stop hunting and farming. B．Ban the production of wildlife food. C．Offer legal protection of natural environment. D．Replace the fossil fuels with renewable energy. 10．What does the underlined word “halt” mean in the last paragraph? A．Accept.　　　　　B．Stop. C．Fear. D．Suffer. 11．What is Lambertini's attitude towards wildlife loss? A．Objective. B．Indifferent. C．Ambiguous. D．Concerned.

SWFC took over 10 years to complete due to shortages of money and the construction delays.(SWFC于2008年竣工，由于资金短缺和施工延误，历时10多年才竣工。)”可知，上海环球金融中心建设被推迟是因为缺钱。故选B。 2．C　细节理解题。根据The Bird's Nest部分中的“Nowadays, it also functions as a tourist attraction.It makes money from tourism.(如今，它也是一个旅游景点。它从旅游业中赚钱。)”可知，鸟巢每天通过从旅游业挣钱来运行。故选C。 3．D　推理判断题。根据The National Centre for the Performing Arts部分中的“It is home to an opera hall, a music hall, and a theatre.(这里有歌剧院、音乐厅和剧院。)”可知，在国家表演艺术中心你可以看各种各样的表演。故选D。 B——[语篇解读]　这是一篇记叙文。作者曾经在想要拍下眼前的风景时被一名女士挡住了，这位女士欣赏了很久的风景，直到等得不耐烦的时候作者干脆将这位女士也拍进了照片里，反而是这位女士的存在使风景变得生动起来，这让作者产生了深刻的反思。 4．B　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.(像我一样，这个女人来这里是为了停下来，叹口气，欣赏风景。)”可知，作者和这位女士都来这里欣赏美丽的风景。故选B。 5．D　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view.(不幸的是，就在我拿出相机的时候，一个女人从后面走了过来，在我的视线前站稳了。)”可知，那个女人挡住了她的视线，这让作家感到恼火。故选D。 6．C　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.(这片风景本身就很美，但由于这位女士的参与，它以某种方式复活并呼吸。)”可知，在作者看来，照片中这位女士的存在使照片如此生动。故选C。 7．D　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Perhaps we all live in each other's spaces.Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.(也许我们都住在彼此的空间里。也许这就是照片的目的：提醒我们，我们都欣赏美，我们都有一个共同的愿望，那就是快乐，渴望联系，渴望比我们更伟大的东西。)”和最后一段“That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.(那张照片是一个提醒，一个捕捉到的时刻，两个女人之间的无声对话，只隔着一块薄薄的玻璃。)”可知，这篇文章可以看作是作者对特定生活经历的反思。故选D。 C——[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了全球野生动物损失的严重性，因此需要全球共同努力，关注并解决该问题。 8．C　推理判断题。根据第一段“Animal populations across the world have been reduced by 69% in less than 50 years, according to a new scientific report.The report's authors are calling for urgent action to restore the natural world.(根据一份新的科学报告，在不到50年的时间里，世界各地的动物数量减少了69%。该报告的作者呼吁采取紧急行动来恢复自然世界。)”以及第二段中“The most recent report, released on October 13，2022, shows that almost 70% of the world's monitored wildlife was lost between 1970 and 2018.The report is based on research from 195 countries around the world.Data was collected from almost 32，000 populations of 5，230 species.(2022年10月13日发布的最新报告显示，1970年至2018年期间，全球近70%的受监测野生动物消失。该报告基于全球195个国家的研究。数据来自5 230个物种的近32 000个种群。)”以及第三段中“Latin America and the Caribbean in particular have seen the sharpest fall, having lost 94% of their wildlife since 1970.(拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的野生动物数量下降尤其严重，自1970年以来已经失去了94%的野生动物。)”可知，作者主要想通过前三段列举的数字来展示世界范围内野生动物损失的严重性。故选C。 9．C　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“However, the report also promotes solutions, such as designing less destructive food production systems, urgently protecting the Amazon rainforest, limiting the use of fossil fuels, and creating new laws to protect our natural environment.(然而，该报告也提出了解决方案，例如设计破坏性较小的粮食生产系统，紧急保护亚马逊雨林，限制化石燃料的使用，以及制定新的法律来保护我们的自然环境。)”可知，根据该报告，为自然环境提供法律保护是解决野生动物数量下降的一个可能的解决方案。故选C。 10．B　词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的句子“Commenting on the report, Marco Lambertini, director general of WWF International, called the figures ‘terrifying’，(在评论该报告时，世界自然基金会国际总干事马可·兰伯蒂尼称这些数字‘令人恐惧’)”以及“we need to restore nature(我们需要恢复自然)”可知，面临野生动物数量急剧下降的情况，我们不仅仅是停止当前的损失，更需要做的是需要去恢复自然。由此可知，画线词halt与stop(停止)意思接近。故选B。 11．D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The authors of the LPR say that this is an opportunity for a global plan to deal with wildlife loss and restore nature.‘Government leaders must step up at COP 15，’ said Lambertini.‘The world is watching.’(LPR的作者说，这是一个应对野生动物损失和恢复自然的全球计划的机会。兰伯蒂尼说：“政府领导人必须在第15届缔约方会议上采取行动。‘全世界都在看着。’)”可知，兰伯蒂尼认为领导人必须在第15届缔约方会议上采取行动。由此推知，他对野生动物数量减少的态度是担心的。故选D。 Ⅱ.[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何处理大量的家庭作业向我们提供了几条建议。 1．D　上文“Before diving in, make a list of all the things you need to do for your homework.(在投入作业之前，把你需要做的所有事情列一个清单。)”提到把要做的事列一个清单，结合空后“The satisfaction of checking things off will keep you happy to continue.(完成任务的满足感会让你乐于继续。)”可知，空处应该讲述完成一项任务之后就在清单中删除一个，保持做事的动力。D项“完成每项任务时，请将其从列表中划掉”符合语境。故选D。 2．G　根据本段的中心句“Solve the hardest homework first.(先解决最难的作业。)”可知，本段建议先做最难的作业，G项“制定一个计划，一点一点地完成你的工作，把最简单的任务留到最后”符合语境，故选G。 3．C　根据空格前一句“If you come to a part of your homework that you don't know how to do, ask a family member to help you.(如果你的家庭作业中有一部分你不知道怎么做，让你的家人来帮助你。)”可知，空格处应该讲述家人帮助你之后所带来的结果，C项“那样的话，你不会受挫”符合语境。故选C。 4．E　根据本段中心句“Make a homework schedule(制定家庭作业时间表。)”可知，本段阐述制定家庭作业时间表，E项“尽量在每天同一时间做作业”进一步阐述如何制定时间表，故选E。 5．A　根据空格后“If everyone in your group is serious about getting homework done, this can be great.(如果你小组里的每个人都认真完成作业，这是很好的。)”可知，本段所讲述的方法是加入学习小组，A项“成立一个学习小组”适合作为本段中心句。故选A。 [续写提能]——语段写作 第一步 1．his head down 2．nodded his head and smiled at him 3．he dropped/hung/lowered his head to hide it and managed a smile 4．he buried his head under the quilt 5．raising her head with surprise in her eyes 6．rested his head on/against
