S. such as Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon attracted record crowds last summer. For some, it might be worth fighting traffic or walking packed trails. But there are plenty of national parks across the country with far fewer visitors. Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota More than a third of this Northwoods network of boreal forests and rocky islands is covered by water — four huge lakes plus 26 smaller ones. New environmental protections make now an ideal time to experience these waterways via a tour boat. Easy-access shoreline campsites line the park’s major lakes. Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska This coast-meets-mountains reserve takes wildlife watching to the next level. Use the park’s only maintained long trail to the outlook over Harding Icefield for breathtaking views of this expansive, icy landscape. From a tour boat, look out for orcas, humpback whales, and dolphins among the waves and Steller sea lions and harbor seals on the beaches. Indiana Dunes National Park, Indiana Kids will find more than just a day at the beach in this welcome pocket of nature. It’s a 45-minute drive from Chicago here. An impressively diverse number of ecosystems in this compact park let families explore wetlands, pine forests and 15 miles of sandy shoreline in a day. Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida Accessible only by boat or seaplane, this park offers untouched beaches, and the chance to explore the historic Fort Jefferson. Located on Garden Key, the second largest of the park’s seven islands, the military stronghold was the largest fort in North America during the mid-1800s. During the Civil War, it became one of the nation’s largest prisons. 1. What do the 4 national parks have in common? A. They’re low-cost. B. They’re easily accessible. C. They’re less visited. D. They’re kid-friendly. 2. Which national park best suits animal-loving tourists? A. Voyageurs National Park. B. Kenai Fjords National Park. C. Indiana Dunes National Park. D. Dry Tortugas National Park. 3. How is Dry Tortugas National Park different from the others? A. It’s related to American history. B. It consists of beautiful islands and lakes. C. It contains the largest fort in the world. D. It offers a boat trip along waterways. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍的是美国几个游客较少但景色独特、值得一游的国家公园。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“For some, it might be worth fighting traffic or walking packed trails. But there are plenty of national parks across the country with far fewer visitors.(对一些人来说，可能值得对抗交通堵塞或在拥挤的小路上行走。但是全国有很多国家公园的游客要少得多。)” 可知，这四个被提及的国家公园的共同点是它们相对较少被游客访问。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska部分中“This coast-meets-mountains reserve takes wildlife watching to the next level.( 这个海岸与山脉交汇的保护区将野生动物观赏带到了一个新的高度。)”以及“From a tour boat, look out for orcas, humpback whales, and dolphins among the waves and Steller sea lions and harbor seals on the beaches.(在游船上，你可以看到海浪中的逆戟鲸、座头鲸和海豚，也可以看到海滩上的虎头海狮和斑海豹。)”可知，Kenai Fjords国家公园是动物爱好者的最佳去处。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida部分中“Accessible only by boat or seaplane, this park offers untouched beaches, and the chance to explore the historic Fort Jefferson. Located on Garden Key, the second largest of the park’s seven islands, the military stronghold was the largest fort in North America during the mid-1800s. During the Civil War, it became one of the nation’s largest prisons.( 只有乘船或水上飞机才能到达，这个公园提供了未受破坏的海滩，并有机会探索历史悠久的杰斐逊堡。这个军事要塞位于花园岛，是公园七个岛屿中第二大的岛屿，是19世纪中期北美最大的堡垒。在南北战争期间，它成为美国最大的监狱之一。)”可知，Dry Tortugas国家公园以其历史遗迹Fort Jefferson而闻名，这个军事要塞在19世纪中叶是北美最大的堡垒，并在内战期间成为国家最大的监狱之一。因此，Dry Tortugas国家公园与其他三个国家公园的区别在于它与美国历史的紧密联系。故选A。 B The Free Books Campaign was set up in July 2020 by Sofia Akel, a race equity (种族平等) researcher, when she decided to launch a fundraiser to get as many books as possible by authors of colour to people that can’t afford them across the UK and Ireland. So far, this campaign has progressed smoothly and influenced profoundly. Over 1, 700 books have been sent to people who can’t afford them, and it has even caught the attention of the footballer. Marcus Rashford who donated 400 copies of his children’s book You Are a Champion. Some of the people who benefit from the campaign include children from working class backgrounds who have not been exposed to literature from Black or Brown authors at school or at home. “I’ve had emails from parents who weren’t aware of just how many amazing authors of colour there are, and who have said how much their child lit up seeing a book that reflected them,” Sofia says. Explaining the need for the campaign, Sofia says: “Sadly, reading has become a luxury in today’s world. If you’re working two jobs just to put food on the table, having that time to sit down and read can be difficult. So, there is an element of privilege when it comes to even just finding the time to read. On top of that, the typical adult hardback book might cost you upwards off 15, which could put food on the table for a week if you were counting every penny.” This is where the campaign hopes to step in. It operates on a trust basis, which means the campaign doesn’t exist to police people’s financial circumstances. “No one has to prove that they’ve not got money — even if some people volunteer personal information, we never ask for it. Everyone deserves to read books that they love.” Sofia adds. 4. What’s the purpose of the campaign? A. To attract public attention. B. To introduce authors of colour. C. To arouse awareness of poverty. D. To offer free books to people short of money. 5. Which of the following best describe the impact of the campaign? A. Short-lived. B. Impractical. C. Far-reaching. D. Unidentifiable. 6 What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. People’s reading habits. B. People’s financial crisis. C. The expensive price of books. D. The necessity of the campaign. 7. What message does Sofia seem to convey in the last paragraph? A. People can get a book without financial proof. B. Everyone will benefit from reading their favorite books. C. One should offer personal information to get a book. D. The campaign can monitor people’s finances if necessary. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了由种族平等研究员Sofia Akel发起的“免费图书运动”，该运动旨在为英国和爱尔兰无法负担书籍费用的人们提供尽可能多的有色人种作者的书籍。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The Free Books Campaign was set up in July 2020 by Sofia Akel, a race equity researcher, when she decided to launch a fundraiser to get as many books as possible by authors of colour to people that can’t afford them across the UK and Ireland. (2020年7月，种族平等研究员Sofia Akel发起了“免费图书运动”，她决定发起筹款活动，为英国和爱尔兰无法负担书籍费用的人们提供尽可能多的有色人种作者的书籍。)”可知，该运动的目的是为无法负担书籍费用的人们提供免费书籍，故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“So far, this campaign has progressed smoothly and influenced profoundly. Over 1, 700 books have been sent to people who can’t afford them, and it has even caught the attention of the footballer. Marcus Rashford who donated 400 copies of his children’s book You Are a Champion. (到目前为止，这场运动进展顺利，影响深远。已有超过1700本书寄给了无法负担书籍费用的人们，甚至引起了足球运动员马库斯·拉什福德的关注，他捐赠了400本他的儿童书《你是冠军》。)”可知，这场运动的影响深远，故选C。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Explaining the need for the campaign, Sofia says: “Sadly, reading has become a luxury in today’s world. If you’re working two jobs just to put food on the table, having that time to sit down and read can be difficult. So, there is an element of privilege when it comes to even just finding the time to read. On top of that, the typical adult hardback book might cost you upwards off 15, which could put food on the table for a week if you were counting every penny.” (索菲亚解释了这场运动的必要性：‘遗憾的是，在当今世界，阅读已成为一种奢侈品。如果你为了养家糊口而打两份工，那么坐下来阅读的时间可能会很困难。因此，即使只是找时间阅读，也有一种特权因素。除此之外，一本典型的成人精装书可能会花费你15英镑以上，如果你精打细算的话，这可以为你的餐桌提供一周的食物。’)”可知，本段主要讲述了这场运动的必要性，故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It operates on a trust basis, which means the campaign doesn’t exist to police people’s financial circumstances. “No one has to prove that they've not got money — even if some people volunteer personal information, we never ask for it. Everyone deserves to read books that they love. (它建立在信任的基础上，这意味着这场运动不是为了监管人们的财务状况。‘没有人需要证明他们没有钱，即使有些人自愿提供个人信息，我们也从不要求。每个人都值得阅读他们喜欢的书。’)”可知，索菲亚在最后一段传达的信息是人们无需提供财务证明就可以获得书籍，故选A。 C With their bright eyes and noticeable beards, it’s easy to see how orangutans (红毛猩猩) got their name; “orang” is Malay for person, while “hutan” means forest. Their similarity to humans doesn’t stop there. Researchers have observed a male orangutan treat a wound on his face with a plant that’s also used in human medicine. It’s the first time any wild animal has been seen caring for a wound using a natural substance with known medicinal ingredients, researchers report May 2 in Scientific Reports. On June 25, 2022, field biologist Ulil Azhari was observing an orangutan named Rakus in the Suaq Balimbing research area of Indonesia’s Gunung Leuser National Park. The area is home to about 150 of the species, and researchers have been studying them since 1994. Azhari watched as Rakus chewed up a plant, locally known as Akar Kuning, and rubbed the resulting paste (糊状物) onto an open wound he suffered on his right cheek, likely from a fight with another male. He applied the paste several times over his injury, almost like a bandage. Akar Kuning (Fibraurea tinctoria) is used by the local people in traditional medicine and has a long list of known medicinal ingredients. Isabelle Laumer, a biologist and member of the Suaq Project studying orangutans, read the notes from the observation and was immediately getting very excited. She says, “He only treated this wound and not any other body part. And this was done repeatedly.” Rakus’ intentionality, and the fact that his wound was closed just five days after the observation — and never became infected — convinced her that he was purposefully using the plant to treat his wound. Laumer says she hopes the finding will help more people appreciate how similar orangutans are to humans and care more about protecting them. The orangutans are critically endangered. “It would be so sad if they would die out from this world.” she says. 8. What phenomenon did Ulil observe? A. The orangutan used a bandage on his cheek. B. The orangutan had a fight with another male. C. The orangutan chewed up a plant and swallowed it. D. The orangutan applied a medicinal plant on his wound. 9. Why did Isabelle get excited at the orangutan’s behavior in the notes? A. Because she was the first to read the notes. B. Because the wound of the orangutan got infected. C. Because she thought the orangutan had done it on purpose. D. Because she found the plant was used by the local people. 10. Why are the similarities of orangutans and humans mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To explain the origin of humans. B. To stress the intelligence of orangutan C. To show the observation of scientists. D. To call on people to protect orangutans. 11. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A zoo brochure. B. A biology textbook. C. A science magazine. D. An academic journal. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了研究发现一只雄性红毛猩猩会使用植物药材治疗脸上的伤口，这说明红毛猩猩和人类有相似之处。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Azhari watched as Rakus chewed up a plant, locally known as Akar Kuning, and rubbed the resulting paste (糊状物) onto an open wound he suffered on his right cheek, likely from a fight with another male.(Azhari看着Rakus咀嚼一种当地人称为Akar Kuning的植物，并将由此产生的糊状物擦到他右脸颊的开放性伤口上，这个伤口很可能是因为与另一只雄性猩猩打架。)”可知，Ulil观察到这只红毛猩猩咀嚼药用植物，并将糊状物涂在脸上的伤口上。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“She says, “He only treated this wound and not any other body part. And this was done repeatedly.” Rakus’ intentionality, and the fact that his wound was closed just five days after the observation — and never became infected — convinced her that he was purposefully using the plant to treat his wound.(她说：“他只治疗了这个伤口，没有治疗任何其他身体部位。而且这是反复进行的。”Rakus的意图，以及他的伤口在观察后五天就被闭合的事实——而且从未被感染——让她相信他是有意用这种植物来治疗他的伤口的。)”可知，Isabelle在阅读观察记录的红毛猩猩的行为时，她明白这只红毛猩猩是有意这么做的。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Laumer says she hopes the finding will help more people appreciate how similar orangutans are to humans and care more about protecting them.(Laumer说，她希望这一发现能帮助更多的人了解红毛猩猩与人类的相似之处，并更加关心保护它们。)”可知，提到红毛猩猩与人类有相似之处是为了让人们保护它们。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“Researchers have observed a male orangutan treat a wound on his face with a plant that’s also used in human medicine.(研究人员观察到一只雄性红毛猩猩用一种同样用于人类医学的植物治疗脸上的伤口。)”及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了研究发现一只雄性红毛猩猩会使用植物药材治疗脸上的伤口，由此可推测出，本文最有可能出自科学杂志。故选C。 D Many parts of the world are experiencing a rapid decrease in the subterranean (地下的) reserves of water that billions of people rely on for drinking, irrigation and other uses, according to new research that analyzed millions of groundwater level measurements from170,000 wells in more than 40 countries. It’s the first study to piece together what’s happening to groundwater levels at a global scale, according to the researchers involved, and will help scientists better understand what intact humans are having on this valuable underground resource, either through overuse or indirectly by changes in rainfall linked to climate change. Groundwater, contained within cracks and pores in rocks known as aquifers (含水层), is a lifeline for people especially in parts of the world where rainfall and surface water are scarce , such as northwest India and the southwest United States. Reductions in groundwater can make it harder for people to access freshwater to drink or to irrigate crops and can result in land subsidence (沉降). The authors found that groundwater levels declined between 2000 and 2022 in 71% of the 1,693 aquifer systems included in the research, with groundwater levels declining more than 0.1 meter a year in 36%, or 617, of them. Donald John MacAllister a hydrologist at the British Geological Survey, said it was a really “impressive” set of data, despite some gaps. “Groundwater is an incredibly important resource but one of the challenges is…because we can’t see it, it’s out of mind for most people. Our challenge is to constantly bang the drum for policymakers — that we have this resource that we have to look after, and that we can use to adapt to climate change. ” 12. What’s the importance of the new research? A. To understand human influence on groundwater. B. To recycle valuable groundwater resources. C. To deal with climate change issues. D. To increase rainfall at global scale. 13. What does the underlined word “scarce” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Adequate. B. Rare. C. Convenient. D. Original. 14. What can we infer from Donald’s words? A. The result of the research is far from satisfaction. B. Effective measures have been taken for groundwater. C. The importance of groundwater is often ignored. D. There are some gaps between aquifers in India. 15. What’s the best title of the text? A. Groundwater is an incredibly important resource. B. Groundwater levels are declining around the world. C. Researchers are solving the groundwater problem. D. Climate change and groundwater shortage go hand in hand. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是一项新的研究分析了来自40多个国家17万个水井的数百万个地下水位测量数据，首次揭示了全球范围内地下水位的变化情况。这项研究将有助于科学家更好地理解人类活动对这一宝贵地下资源的影响，包括过度使用和与气候变化相关的降雨量变化等间接影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It’s the first study to piece together what’s happening to groundwater levels at a global scale, according to the researchers involved, and will help scientists better understand what intact humans are having on this valuable underground resource, either through overuse or indirectly by changes in rainfall linked to climate change.(据参与研究的研究人员称，这是第一次将全球范围内地下水水位的变化拼凑在一起的研究，将帮助科学家更好地了解完整的人类对这种宝贵的地下资源的影响，无论是通过过度使用还是间接通过与气候变化相关的降雨变化。)”可知，新研究首次将全球范围内的地下水位情况拼凑在一起，这将有助于科学家更好地理解人类对这一宝贵地下资源的影响，无论是通过过度使用还是通过气候变化引起的降雨量变化的间接影响。因此，这项研究的重要性在于理解人类活动对地下水的影响。故选A。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的句子“Groundwater, contained within cracks and pores in rocks known as aquifers(含水层), is a lifeline for people especially in parts of the world…(地下水包含在被称为含水层的岩石裂缝和孔隙中，是人们的生命线，尤其是在世界上的一些地区……)”以及后文“…such as northwest India and the southwest United States.( 比如印度西北部和美国西南部……)”可知，地下水是人们的生命线，特别是在如印度西北部和美国西南部降雨和地表水稀缺的地区，因此，scarce在这里的意思是“稀少的，罕见的”，与选项B“Rare.(稀少的)”的意思相符。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Groundwater is an incredibly important resource but one of the challenges is…because we can’t see it, it’s out of mind for most people. Our challenge is to constantly bang the drum for policymakers —that we have this resource that we have to look after, and that we can use to adapt to climate change. ”(“地下水是一种非常重要的资源，但其中一个挑战是……因为我们看不到它，所以大多数人都不知道它。我们面临的挑战是不断地向政策制定者敲响警钟，让他们知道我们拥有必须保护的资源，我们可以利用这些资源来适应气候变化。”)”可知，Donald提到，因为地下水是我们看不见的，所以大多数人都不会去想它，这是一个挑战。他强调我们需要不断地向政策制定者强调地下水的重要性，以及我们需要用它来适应气候变化。这表明地下水的重要性往往被忽视。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Many parts of the world are experiencing a rapid decrease in the subterranean(地下的) reserves of water that billions of people rely on for drinking, irrigation and other uses, according to new research that analyzed millions of groundwater level measurements from170. 000 wells in more than 40 countries.(根据一项分析了1970年以来数百万次地下水水位测量数据的新研究，世界上许多地区的地下水储量正在迅速减少，而数十亿人赖以饮用、灌溉和其他用途的地下水储量正在迅速减少。在40多个国家拥有1000口水井)”以及通读全文，文章主要讲述了全球范围内地下水位正在下降的情况，以及这种情况对人们生活和气候变化的影响。因此，选项B“Groundwater levels are declining around the world(全球地下水位正在下降)”与文章内容相符，准确概括文章的主题。故选B。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 First-aid kits are most commonly used for minor injuries like cuts, but they can also help you in less-common emergency situations, such as heart attacks or life-threatening bleeding. _____16_____ Buy the right container Your first-aid items should be kept in a waterproof bag or an airtight container with clear separate sections that allow you to quickly see what's inside the kit. _____17_____.

All of her colleagues are from diverse backgrounds but they share a common goal: making a significant and positive impact on Earth. One of their favorite topics during coffee breaks is not the newest or the latest projects but their voluntary participation in protecting a specific river. The river was first introduced to them by Peter, their department manager, who grew up along its bank. He fondly described it as a piece of untouched paradise, where he spent countless hours boating, swimming and fishing with his playmates. Although he had been away from the area for years since his family sold their house in the village and moved to the city, the beautiful river appeared in his dream from time to time and he was eager to go back again and take a look. Driven by Peter's nostalgic(念旧的)story and their shared love for amazingly charming area, six of them working in the same department decided to set foot on that place. Their journey began with a flight followed by a long drive on winding mountain roads. They finally arrived there and the scenery was indeed beautiful and impressive. It was no wonder that Peter was deeply fascinated by it. The beauty of the area struck them, peaceful and wild. The river, with its clear flowing waters, shone brightly in the sunlight and was bordered by tall, protective trees that swayed gently in the wind. And there were a few other visitors taking pictures and some white birds gracefully taking flight from the water. Impressed by the scene, they were eager for a closer encounter with the river. 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。 Paragraph 1: However, when they got nearer, they noticed something disappointing and terrible that didn't match the beautiful scene. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Eliza quickly suggested a plan to her workmates. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 However when they got nearer; they noticed something disappointing and terrible that didn’t match the beautiful scene. The riverbank was littered with garbage here and there. From their professional viewpoint, the impact of such waste was clear: it threatened the local ecosystem and wildlife. The sight was particularly heartbreaking for Peter, who felt as if his childhood paradise had been destroyed. The group also realized that the wonderland in Peter's memory would be at the risk of being lost forever if no action was taken. Eliza quickly suggested a plan to her workmates. Right there, they formed a volunteer group on the spot, starting their conservation efforts by gathering all the litter they could find along the river and posted several “No Littering” signs to educate visitors. To their delight, other visitors took notice and joined in. The following day, they placed trash bins along the river and scheduled regular clean-up days. Their immediate action not only showcased their dedication to environmental conservation but also underlined the significance of their careers in protecting natural treasures like the river that had brought them all together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展为线索展开，讲述了Eliza和她的同事们在部门经理Peter的引领下，前往他童年记忆中的美丽河流，却发现河流受到了垃圾污染的破坏。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“然而，当他们走近时，他们注意到了一些令人失望和可怕的事情，这与美丽的景色不符”可知，当他们走近时，发现了与美丽景色不匹配的令人失望和糟糕的事情。因此，这一段可以描述他们发现的河流污染情况，以及他们对这一情况的反应。 ②由第二段首句“伊莉莎迅速向她的同事提出了一个计划”可知，Eliza迅速向她的同事们提出了一个计划。因此，这一段可以描述Eliza提出的环保行动计划，以及他们的行动如何引起其他游客的注意和参与，从而展示了他们对环保事业的奉献。 2.续写线索：发现污染——感到心碎——意识到问题严重性——提出计划——立即行动——引起他人参与——定期清理——展示奉献精神 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：notice/spot ②提出计划：suggest a plan/propose a plan ③立即行动：take immediate action/act promptly 情绪类 ①感到心碎：heartbreaking/devastating ②感到高兴：delight/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1].

S. such as Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon attracted record crowds last summer. For some, it might be worth fighting traffic or walking packed trails. But there are plenty of national parks across the country with far fewer visitors. Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota More than a third of this Northwoods network of boreal forests and rocky islands is covered by water — four huge lakes plus 26 smaller ones. New environmental protections make now an ideal time to experience these waterways via a tour boat. Easy-access shoreline campsites line the park’s major lakes. Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska This coast-meets-mountains reserve takes wildlife watching to the next level. Use the park’s only maintained long trail to the outlook over Harding Icefield for breathtaking views of this expansive, icy landscape. From a tour boat, look out for orcas, humpback whales, and dolphins among the waves and Steller sea lions and harbor seals on the beaches. Indiana Dunes National Park, Indiana Kids will find more than just a day at the beach in this welcome pocket of nature. It’s a 45-minute drive from Chicago here. An impressively diverse number of ecosystems in this compact park let families explore wetlands, pine forests and 15 miles of sandy shoreline in a day. Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida Accessible only by boat or seaplane, this park offers untouched beaches, and the chance to explore the historic Fort Jefferson. Located on Garden Key, the second largest of the park’s seven islands, the military stronghold was the largest fort in North America during the mid-1800s. During the Civil War, it became one of the nation’s largest prisons. 1. What do the 4 national parks have in common? A. They’re low-cost. B. They’re easily accessible. C. They’re less visited. D.

B The Free Books Campaign was set up in July 2020 by Sofia Akel a race equity (种族平等) researcher, when she decided to launch a fundraiser to get as many books as possible by authors of colour to people that can’t afford them across the UK and Ireland. So far, this campaign has progressed smoothly and influenced profoundly. Over 1, 700 books have been sent to people who can’t afford them, and it has even caught the attention of the footballer. Marcus Rashford who donated 400 copies of his children’s book You Are a Champion. Some of the people who benefit from the campaign include children from working class backgrounds who have not been exposed to literature from Black or Brown authors at school or at home. “I’ve had emails from parents who weren’t aware of just how many amazing authors of colour there are, and who have said how much their child lit up seeing a book that reflected them,” Sofia says. Explaining the need for the campaign, Sofia says: “Sadly, reading has become a luxury in today’s world. If you’re working two jobs just to put food on the table, having that time to sit down and read can be difficult. So, there is an element of privilege when it comes to even just finding the time to read. On top of that, the typical adult hardback book might cost you upwards off 15, which could put food on the table for a week if you were counting every penny.” This is where the campaign hopes to step in. It operates on a trust basis, which means the campaign doesn’t exist to police people’s financial circumstances. “No one has to prove that they’ve not got money — even if some people volunteer personal information, we never ask for it. Everyone deserves to read books that they love.” Sofia adds. 4. What’s the purpose of the campaign? A. To attract public attention. B. To introduce authors of colour. C. To arouse awareness of poverty. D. To offer free books to people short of money. 5. Which of the following best describe the impact of the campaign? A. Short-lived. B. Impractical. C. Far-reaching. D. Unidentifiable. 6. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A People’s reading habits. B. People’s financial crisis. C. The expensive price of books. D. The necessity of the campaign. 7. What message does Sofia seem to convey in the last paragraph? A. People can get a book without financial proof. B. Everyone will benefit from reading their favorite books. C. One should offer personal information to get a book. D. The campaign can monitor people’s finances if necessary. C With their bright eyes and noticeable beards, it’s easy to see how orangutans (红毛猩猩) got their name; “orang” is Malay for person, while “hutan” means forest. Their similarity to humans doesn’t stop there. Researchers have observed a male orangutan treat a wound on his face with a plant that’s also used in human medicine. It’s the first time any wild animal has been seen caring for a wound using a natural substance with known medicinal ingredients, researchers report May 2 in Scientific Reports. On June 25, 2022, field biologist Ulil Azhari was observing an orangutan named Rakus in the Suaq Balimbing research area of Indonesia’s Gunung Leuser National Park. The area is home to about 150 of the species, and researchers have been studying them since 1994. Azhari watched as Rakus chewed up a plant, locally known as Akar Kuning, and rubbed the resulting paste (糊状物) onto an open wound he suffered on his right cheek, likely from a fight with another male. He applied the paste several times over his injury, almost like a bandage. Akar Kuning (Fibraurea tinctoria) is used by the local people in traditional medicine and has a long list of known medicinal ingredients. Isabelle Laumer, a biologist and member of the Suaq Project studying orangutans, read the notes from the observation and was immediately getting very excited. She says, “He only treated this wound and not any other body part. And this was done repeatedly.” Rakus’ intentionality, and the fact that his wound was closed just five days after the observation — and never became infected — convinced her that he was purposefully using the plant to treat his wound. Laumer says she hopes the finding will help more people appreciate how similar orangutans are to humans and care more about protecting them. The orangutans are critically endangered. “It would be so sad if they would die out from this world.” she says. 8. What phenomenon did Ulil observe? A. The orangutan used a bandage on his cheek. B. The orangutan had a fight with another male. C. The orangutan chewed up a plant and swallowed it. D. The orangutan applied a medicinal plant on his wound. 9. Why did Isabelle get excited at the orangutan’s behavior in the notes? A. Because she was the first to read the notes. B. Because the wound of the orangutan got infected. C. Because she thought the orangutan had done it on purpose. D. Because she found the plant was used by the local people. 10. Why are the similarities of orangutans and humans mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To explain the origin of humans. B. To stress the intelligence of orangutan C. To show the observation of scientists. D. To call on people to protect orangutans. 11. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A zoo brochure. B. A biology textbook. C. A science magazine. D. An academic journal. D Many parts of the world are experiencing a rapid decrease in the subterranean (地下的) reserves of water that billions of people rely on for drinking, irrigation and other uses, according to new research that analyzed millions of groundwater level measurements from170,000 wells in more than 40 countries. It’s the first study to piece together what’s happening to groundwater levels at a global scale, according to the researchers involved, and will help scientists better understand what intact humans are having on this valuable underground resource, either through overuse or indirectly by changes in rainfall linked to climate change. Groundwater, contained within cracks and pores in rocks known as aquifers (含水层), is a lifeline for people especially in parts of the world where rainfall and surface water are scarce , such as northwest India and the southwest United States. Reductions in groundwater can make it harder for people to access freshwater to drink or to irrigate crops and can result in land subsidence (沉降). The authors found that groundwater levels declined between 2000 and 2022 in 71% of the 1,693 aquifer systems included in the research, with groundwater levels declining more than 0.1 meter a year in 36%, or 617, of them. Donald John MacAllister, a hydrologist at the British Geological Survey, said it was a really “impressive” set of data, despite some gaps. “Groundwater is an incredibly important resource but one of the challenges is…because we can’t see it, it’s out of mind for most people. Our challenge is to constantly bang the drum for policymakers — that we have this resource that we have to look after, and that we can use to adapt to climate change. ” 12 What’s the importance of the new research? A. To understand human influence on groundwater. B. To recycle valuable groundwater resources. C. To deal with climate change issues. D. To increase rainfall at global scale. 13. What does the underlined word “scarce” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Adequate. B. Rare. C. Convenient. D. Original. 14. What can we infer from Donald’s words? A. The result of the research is far from satisfaction. B. Effective measures have been taken for groundwater. C. The importance of groundwater is often ignored. D.

All of her colleagues are from diverse backgrounds but they share a common goal: making a significant and positive impact on Earth. One of their favorite topics during coffee breaks is not the newest or the latest projects but their voluntary participation in protecting a specific river. The river was first introduced to them by Peter, their department manager, who grew up along its bank. He fondly described it as a piece of untouched paradise, where he spent countless hours boating, swimming and fishing with his playmates. Although he had been away from the area for years since his family sold their house in the village and moved to the city, the beautiful river appeared in his dream from time to time and he was eager to go back again and take a look. Driven by Peter's nostalgic(念旧的)story and their shared love for amazingly charming area, six of them working in the same department decided to set foot on that place. Their journey began with a flight followed by a long drive on winding mountain roads. They finally arrived there and the scenery was indeed beautiful and impressive. It was no wonder that Peter was deeply fascinated by it. The beauty of the area struck them, peaceful and wild. The river, with its clear flowing waters, shone brightly in the sunlight and was bordered by tall, protective trees that swayed gently in the wind. And there were a few other visitors taking pictures and some white birds gracefully taking flight from the water. Impressed by the scene, they were eager for a closer encounter with the river. 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。 Paragraph 1: However, when they got nearer, they noticed something disappointing and terrible that didn't match the beautiful scene. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Eliza quickly suggested a plan to her workmates. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 BCCAA 6-10 BCCAC 11-15CACAB 16-20 ABBAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
