However,last year was a whole new ball game.That spring came with a real stage.An excited crowd.Clapping.Filming.A real recital!Exciting but stressful.I didn't know if I could handle it.

C Have you ever seen the Moon rising over your town or city?It can appear very large when it is low on the horizon.Our moon goes through phases (and it looks a little different every day.When the whole moon is lit up,it is called a full moon.When the Moon is entirely dark,it's a new moon.When there is only a thin edge of the circle shining,it's a crescent moon. When a crescent moon is rising,we can occasionally see a unique event.When the Sun,the Earth,and the Moon are lined up just right,some of the sunlight that hits the Earth can be reflected onto the Moon.This causes most part of the Moon to give off a faint glow,while the rest of the Moon is brightly lit by the sunlight. This phenomenon is named the Da Vinci glow.It was Leonardo da Vinci,a great artist, inventor and scientist,who explained it for the first time.Sometimes,it is also called When Da Vinci wrote about earthshine,he suggested that it might be caused by sunlight “earthshine.” reflected from the Earth'soean He was amost completelyxcept for one detail:most of the reflected sunlight comesfrom the clouds in our atmosphere.The reflected light from the Earth is bright enoug tolight upthe side of the Moon that isnteiving direct suniht.

For Trish Kane,.that bird was the cardinal(红衣凤头鸟).Hearing cardinals'calls was an initial step toward over 1,960 hours of birding,33 field notebooks and a career change.In her book,Birding to Change the World,Kane charts her transformation from a journalist to an environmentalist. In 2005,a terrible hurricane hit Kane's hometown.After it,she had to cope with the loss of her home.In watching the cardinals and other birds,she found relief.Soon she started bringing her students along."My students stared at me in disbelief when I told them I had never cared about birds before,"Kane writes."I suddenly wondered how many creatures would die because of the way we lived."She decided to pursue an environmentally-conscious career.In 2007,she took a course to study environmental science. Most of the book focuses on Kane's efforts to preserve Warner Park,an ideal location satisfying birding requirements for her class.She successfully campaigned to stop the construction of a parking lot.Her activism snowballed into a local bird watching and protecting organization.It eventually became part of Kane's doctoral research,and launched a birding class that pairs middle school students with college-student advisors. (高二)英语试题第5页（共10页） The book shows readers that a good knowledge of nature doesn't require a degree.Take Jeremy,a seemingly uninterested boy in Kane's birding class.When reporters joined an outing, the normally quiet Jeremy started talking excitedly about the bunting,a small blue bird.Kane soon leared that he had secretly taken to studying the field guide given to him by his advisor. At its core,Birding to Change the World is about how people and birds today depend on one another."For birds,that dependence is concrete.For thousands of years,our species has seen birds as a symbol of liberation,"Kane writes.In her case,it is liberation from the grief and depression that the hurricane brought."Bird by bird,they carve a new pathway in my life,a joyful pathway." 27.What made Kane pursue an environmentalist career? A.Her guilt about the serious harm to birds. B.The desire to guide students to go birding. C.The comfort from birding after the disaster. D.Her students'disbelief in her ignorance of birds. 28.What can we learn about Kane from paragraph 3? A.She worked hard on her latest book. B.She protected Warner Park on her own. C.Her birding class consisted of advisors. D.Her activism led to positive chain effects. 29.What does Jeremy's experience suggest? A.Interest in nature differs between kids and adults. B.Children learn more from nature than from books. C.Children are born curious about outdoor activities. D.Potential in kids can be released with proper guide. 30.Which is the best title for the text? A.A Joyful Experience of Birding B.The Transformative Power of Birding C.A Life Journey of an Environmentalist D.The Self-appreciation of a Book Writer 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。 As the world's population increases,so does the need for food,especially from animal sources.This urges us to find sustainable ways to feed billions more people in the future. 31 It has a great impact on our health and environment. (高二)英语试题第6页（共10页） Many people are skeptical about reducing meat consumption,but there are many benefits of adopting plant-based diet.32 Besides,it produces significantly fewer greenhouse gases and requires less land and water than animals.This helps keep ecological balance and promotes better life quality. 33 This kind of diet is not usually preferred by people who enjoy the taste of animal meat.Just like the resistance some people have towards eating insects,the shift to plant-based diet also requires great changes in how people perceive and enjoy food. The future of our food supply will depend heavily on our willingness to accept more sustainable eating habits.Options like lab-grown meats are promising.Yet will these food choices become common in our supermarkets?34 How we choose to eat in the coming years will contribute to ensuring a sustainable future for you and me.35 Hopefully,we can balance our nutritional needs with the planet's ability to support us,building a harmonious relationship with our environment. A.Such diet has been tried by many people. B.It remains to be seen whether we can make it happen. C.It is more nutritious compared with animal-based food. D.Much depends on how such restaurants treat customers. E.However,adapting to plant-based diet can be challenging. F.Our choices directly impact the ecosystem and social welfare. G.A practical solution is plant-based diet including fruits,vegetables and nuts. 第三部分语言运用（共三节，满分40分) 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As a growing family,we gathered lots of stuff,especially toys.After our first boy was bomn, friends and family 36 him with gifts,flooding our once 37 rooms with many colorful playthings. 38my son's seemingly countless possessions robbed me of the mood to enjoy life.

As we humans get older,we can still do many of the things we enjoy,such as taking up our hobbies and playing with our grandchildren,but our activity levels may 56,and we are also more likely to get sick. Chimpanzees have shorter lifespans,so many of them miss out on the fun that humans may experience in old age.For example,they have less opportunity to57their grandchildren.
