We always seem to think that there are an endless number of them. Is this true? Will we run out of fish one day? Humans began overfishing (过度捕捞) in the 19th century. Today, there are many fishing ships in the world to catch fish. In other words, we are taking away too many fish from the world’s oceans (海洋) . Fish can’t grow fast enough, so the number of species (物种) of fish is dropping quickly. Some species will soon disappear (消失) . To save these fish species, many countries have started to take actions. Along some rivers and lakes, you can see “No fishing” signs. The fish in these areas are probably under protection. Besides, different areas have closed fishing periods at different times. When the fish in a certain area start to lay eggs, the closed season for that area begins. People can’t catch fish until (直到) the young fish grow up. This is also an important way to stop overfishing. Fish are very important to the health of the sea.

Now you cannot feel pain (疼痛), but you can cause pain. You cannot give pleasure, but you can receive it.” The Fisherman hears these words and he is afraid. “No,” says the Fisherman to his Soul. “You are evil (邪恶). And you are teaching me bad things. You want me to forget about my love, the Mermaid (美人鱼).” “Why do I not have a heart? Do not forget!” says the Soul. “Come, follow me! Let’s go to another city.

But as these cars take to the streets, we have to ask: are auto-pilot (自动领航) cars a step into a better future, or are they a step we’re not ready to take? Not long ago, cars that drive themselves were just a dream. But now, with smart car makers like XPeng, Tesla and Xiaomi, that dream is closer to reality. Supporters of auto-pilotcars say that they can make our roads much safer and make it easier to travel. Most car accidents happen because people make mistakes or get sleepy, but the computers on cars don’t get tired. Many believe that self-driving cars can also help traffic move better and give people more time to do fun things while traveling. However, even car makers admit that self-driving technology is not perfect—especially with the busy streets, traffic lights, and all other different drivers it has to deal with. People worry about the decisions smart cars would make in uncommon situations. Some think it is easier for human drivers to forget the possible danger in driving. ★ Many drivers still remember the accident in 2021, where a human driver fell asleep behind the wheel and the auto pilot made a wrong decision. What’s more, they are nervous about the personal information these cars might collect. The discussion about self-driving cars is about technology safety, and how we’ll live in the future. We’ll keep discussing if they’re good for us. Will self-driving cars become common, or will they remind us to be careful with new technology? We’ll see what the future holds. 16. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The history of auto-pilot cars. B. Supporters’ opinions about auto-pilot cars. C. Auto-pilot cars are a dream come true. D. The possible danger of self-driving cars. 17. According to paragraph 3, self-driving cars might ________. A. make bad decisions in difficult situations B. stop all kinds of car accidents from happening C. make driving fun and relaxing for most drivers D. keep our personal information safe 18. Which of the following can be put in ________? A. The technology is too expensive for most people. B. People believe in these cars too much sometimes. C. Auto-pilot technology makes drivers tired. D. Self-driving cars do not make many mistakes. 19. The underlined word “they” refers to________. A. human mistakes B. the discussions C. computers on cars D. self-driving cars 20. What’s the purpose (目的) of this passage? A. To show different opinions. B. To give useful advice. C. To stop people from mistakes. D. To tell us about new things. 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. B 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了越来越多的汽车制造商正在推出可以自己驾驶的智能汽车，文章介绍了人们对此的看法。 【16题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“But now, with smart car makers like XPeng, Tesla and Xiaomi, that dream is closer to reality. Supporters of auto-pilotcars say that they can make our roads much safer and make it easier to travel”可知第二段主要介绍了自动驾驶汽车的支持者的观点。故选B。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据“where a human driver fell asleep behind the wheel and the auto pilot made a wrong decision”可知自动驾驶可能会做出错误的决定。故选A。 【18题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Some think it is easier for human drivers to forget the possible danger in driving”可知一些人认为，人类驾驶员更容易忘记驾驶中可能存在的危险，因为人们相信自动驾驶汽车，选项B“人们有时太相信这些车了”符合语境。故选B。 【19题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“The discussion about self-driving cars is about technology, safety, and how we’ll live in the future. We’ll keep discussing if they’re good for us.”可知关于自动驾驶汽车的讨论是关于技术、安全性以及我们未来的生活方式，我们将继续讨论它们是否对我们有益，故此处指“自动驾驶汽车”。故选D。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。本文主要介绍了越来越多的汽车制造商正在推出可以自己驾驶的智能汽车，文章介绍了人们对此的看法，故文章是为了表达不同的观点。故选A。 第二节：完形填空（满分15分） 阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 School bulling (校园欺凌) is a serious social problem.

Add to that the high temperatures, and the locals get very dry conditions. This is the most serious dry spell (干旱期) for that area in the past 70 years. Because of this situation, the country’s longest river, the Po River is drying up! This is bad news for several different reasons. The fresh water of the Po provides drinking water for northern Italy. Besides, farmers in this area need the water of the Po to keep their crops (谷物) growing. What’s more, the flowing river water is used to create about half of the hydroelectric power (水力发电) for Italy. Its drying up means that more natural gas (天然气) will be used, which is bad for the environment. There have been some interesting discoveries from this lack of rain, however. Between Florence and Milan, a long ship sunk (沉没) in 1943 appeared because of the low water levels of the river. Now many tourists and locals come to see this ship. A German tank has also appeared out of water near Mantua. At other places along the river, people can even walk on the sandy river bed. Although this may be interesting, people in Italy and around the world are hoping for the return of rain to refill the Po! The longest river in Italy is drying up! The reasons •Rain hasn’t fallen in northern Italy for a long time. •The temperatures are ___46___ than usual. Bad influences •People have less drinking water from the Po. •A lack of (缺乏) rain makes it ___47___ for crops to grow. •People will ___48___ more natural gas, which is bad for the environment. ___49___ •A long ship sunk in 1943 and a tank from ___50___ appeared. •People are even able to walk on the sandy river bed. 【答案】46. higher 47. hard 48. use 49. Interesting discoveries 50. Germany 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了70年来最严重的干旱，致使意大利最大的河流波河面临干涸，这给意大利人生活用水和灌溉带来极大威胁。 【46题详解】 根据“Add to that the high temperatures, and the locals get very dry conditions.”可知，气温比平时高，由空后的than可知，应用high的比较级higher。故填higher。 【47题详解】 根据“Besides, farmers in this area need the water of the Po to keep their crops (谷物) growing.”可知，缺少水，庄稼难以生长。hard“困难的”，形容词；make+宾语+形容词“使某事……”，形容词作宾语补足语。故填hard。 【48题详解】 根据“Its drying up means that more natural gas (天然气) will be used, which is bad for the environment.”可知，人们将使用更多的天然气，这对环境有害。use“使用”，动词，will后跟动词原形。故填use。 【49题详解】 根据“There have been some interesting discoveries from this lack of rain, however. Between Florence and Milan, a long ship sunk (沉没) in 1943 appeared because of the low water levels of the river. ... A German tank has also appeared out of water near Mantua. At other places along the river, people can even walk on the sandy river bed.”可知，一艘长船在1943年沉没、一辆来自德国的坦克出现和人们甚至可以在沙质河床上行走，这些是有趣的发现。故填Interesting discoveries。 【50题详解】 根据“Between Florence and Milan, a long ship sunk (沉没) in 1943 appeared because of the low water levels of the river. ...

We always seem to think that there are an endless number of them. Is this true? Will we run out of fish one day? Humans began overfishing (过度捕捞) in the 19th century. Today, there are many fishing ships in the world to catch fish. In other words, we are taking away too many fish from the world’s oceans (海洋) . Fish can’t grow fast enough, so the number of species (物种) of fish is dropping quickly. Some species will soon disappear (消失) . To save these fish species, many countries have started to take actions. Along some rivers and lakes, you can see “No fishing” signs. The fish in these areas are probably under protection. Besides, different areas have closed fishing periods at different times. When the fish in a certain area start to lay eggs, the closed season for that area begins. People can’t catch fish until (直到) the young fish grow up. This is also an important way to stop overfishing. Fish are very important to the health of the sea.

And I like doing bad things.” “What are you saying?” says the Fisherman. “You know,” replies the Soul. “You know well. Do you not remember? But don’t worry. Now you cannot feel pain (疼痛), but you can cause pain. You cannot give pleasure, but you can receive it.” The Fisherman hears these words and he is afraid. “No,” says the Fisherman to his Soul. “You are evil (邪恶). And you are teaching me bad things. You want me to forget about my love, the Mermaid (美人鱼).” “Why do I not have a heart? Do not forget!” says the Soul. “Come, follow me! Let’s go to another city. We have nine bags of gold.” “No,” cries the Fisherman, and he throws the nine bags of gold on the ground.“I don’t want to be with you.

But as these cars take to the streets, we have to ask: are auto-pilot (自动领航) cars a step into a better future, or are they a step we’re not ready to take? Not long ago, cars that drive themselves were just a dream. But now, with smart car makers like XPeng, Tesla and Xiaomi, that dream is closer to reality. Supporters of auto-pilotcars say that they can make our roads much safer and make it easier to travel. Most car accidents happen because people make mistakes or get sleepy, but the computers on cars don’t get tired. Many believe that self-driving cars can also help traffic move better and give people more time to do fun things while traveling. However, even car makers admit that self-driving technology is not perfect—especially with the busy streets, traffic lights, and all other different drivers it has to deal with. People worry about the decisions smart cars would make in uncommon situations. Some think it is easier for human drivers to forget the possible danger in driving. ★ Many drivers still remember the accident in 2021, where a human driver fell asleep behind the wheel and the auto pilot made a wrong decision. What’s more, they are nervous about the personal information these cars might collect. The discussion about self-driving cars is about technology, safety, and how we’ll live in the future. We’ll keep discussing if they’re good for us. Will self-driving cars become common, or will they remind us to be careful with new technology? We’ll see what the future holds. 16 What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The history of auto-pilot cars. B. Supporters’ opinions about auto-pilot cars. C Auto-pilot cars are a dream come true. D. The possible danger of self-driving cars. 17. According to paragraph 3, self-driving cars might ________. A. make bad decisions in difficult situations B. stop all kinds of car accidents from happening C. make driving fun and relaxing for most drivers D. keep our personal information safe 18. Which of the following can be put in ________? A. The technology is too expensive for most people. B. People believe in these cars too much sometimes. C Auto-pilot technology makes drivers tired. D. Self-driving cars do not make many mistakes. 19. The underlined word “they” refers to________. A. human mistakes B. the discussions C. computers on cars D. self-driving cars 20. What’s the purpose (目的) of this passage? A. To show different opinions. B. To give useful advice. C. To stop people from mistakes. D. To tell us about new things. 第二节：完形填空（满分15分） 阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 School bulling (校园欺凌) is a serious social problem.

Add to that the high temperatures, and the locals get very dry conditions. This is the most serious dry spell (干旱期) for that area in the past 70 years. Because of this situation, the country’s longest river, the Po River is drying up! This is bad news for several different reasons. The fresh water of the Po provides drinking water for northern Italy. Besides, farmers in this area need the water of the Po to keep their crops (谷物) growing. What’s more, the flowing river water is used to create about half of the hydroelectric power (水力发电) for Italy. Its drying up means that more natural gas (天然气) will be used, which is bad for the environment. There have been some interesting discoveries from this lack of rain however. Between Florence and Milan, a long ship sunk (沉没) in 1943 appeared because of the low water levels of the river. Now many tourists and locals come to see this ship. A German tank has also appeared out of water near Mantua. At other places along the river, people can even walk on the sandy river bed. Although this may be interesting, people in Italy and around the world are hoping for the return of rain to refill the Po! The longest river in Italy is drying up! The reasons •Rain hasn’t fallen in northern Italy for a long time. •The temperatures are ___46___ than usual. Bad influences •People have less drinking water from the Po. •A lack of (缺乏) rain makes it ___47___ for crops to grow. •People will ___48___ more natural gas, which is bad for the environment. ___49___ •A long ship sunk in 1943 and a tank from ___50___ appeared. •People are even able to walk on the sandy river bed. 第三节书面表达（满分10分） 51. 你的家乡江油是李白的出生地，因“李白故里” 而出名，暑假即将来临，你外地的朋友们将要来江油游玩一天，请你作为导游向他们介绍你的家乡江油，并带领他们在市内游玩。 参考要点： 位置、人口 四川西北部，80多万， 热情友好 气候 一年有四季，夏热冬冷 面积 2.719km2 景点 窦团山（Doutuan mountain）、佛爷洞（Foye Cave）、方特游乐园、明月岛公园 交通 公交车、出租车、高铁（high-speed railway） 食物 江油肥肠（” Jiangyou Fat Sausage” ）, 火锅（hot pot）等 …… …… 参考词汇：出生地the birthplace, 李白故里Li Bai’s hometown Dear fellows, Welcome to our hometown—Jiangyou.
