This year for Arbor Day finds our favorite fiction, nonfiction books relating to trees. The Overstory by Richard Powers, 2018 The Overstory begins with the nine characters whose lives will come together as the fiction unfolds. Their stories set the stage for a tale about a few environmentalists who are determined to protect an old forest. Richard Powers pulls you into their lives and fills you with astonishing facts about trees. Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard, 2021 Finding the Mother Tree describes Simard's research on cooperation and coexistence in the forest. “Trees in a forest are often linked to each other via an older tree called a ‘mother’ tree,” Simard said. “And the old trees would help the little seedlings survive at crucial times.” Twelve Trees by Daniel Lewis, 2024 There are tens of thousands of tree species on Earth, but writer Daniel Lewis focused in on just a dozen in his book, Twelve Trees. Lewis believes trees and people have more in common than you might think. “These twelve trees reflect aspects of ourselves. We coexist with them, and thus have a responsibility to understand them better.” The Tree Doctor by Marie Mutsuki Mockett 2024 A woman helps tend her mother's garden, leading her to confirm what she already knows: Her life as a wife and mother has caused her to ignore herself, and she must prioritize saving herself even more urgently than caring for her mother's flowers. The Tree Doctor is an excellent novel, showing one woman's response to life-changing crises. 1. Which book emphasizes the similarities between trees and humans? A The Overstory by Richard Powers. B. Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard. C. Twelve Trees by Daniel Lewis. D. The Tree Doctor by Marie Mutsuki Mockett. 2. What is the central theme of “The Tree Doctor”? A. The significance of self-care. B. The beauty of mother's flowers. C. The role of a woman in tending a garden. D. The challenges of being a wife and mother. 3. What do The Overstory and The Tree Doctor have in common? A. They have the identical plot. B. They are created by one author. C. They come out at the same time. D. They are in the same literary form. B When Stephanie Walsh began her dancing journey in her twenties, viral videos didn't exist. Now in her seventies, the hip-hop grandma has gained worldwide attention with her dynamic dance moves and incredible energy. Walsh, better known as “Ms. Stephanie” online, has been featured on social media accounts with some videos drawing millions of people to watch. Her profile claims she is “inspiring the world to dance like no one is watching.” But they are watching, with a fanbase that is rapidly expanding everyday.“Dance isn’t just your body, it’s what you’re feeling inside about the dance and it’s what comes out here in your face,” Walsh said. “That’s what I want to put through my movement, is how much fun it is, how much joy it gives you.” From a young age, Walsh loved to dance but her family didn’t have the money for classes. So she waited until she was nearly 30 to return to her childhood love. Walsh believes her lifelong passion for dance makes what she is today. “Everybody has to have a passion in their life,” she said. “It’s like that saying, ‘A life without passion is a life half lived.’ I believe that.” She went through countless hardships in life, and she has more than enough reasons to keep her down. But they don’t. Whenever she needs a lift, she turns to dance, shining as an inspiration to those around her. At 40 years her junior, Gilbert, one of her followers, said Walsh inspires him every day. “I love that Ms. Stephanie is so humble. She’s thankful that her videos are getting millions of views, but she still shows up and puts on a show because that’s what she wants to do. She’s a beautiful soul who taught me that it doesn’t matter about your age or your size. As long as you feel good, that’s all that matters.” 4. What does Walsh emphasize about dance in her remark? A. It’s a means of keeping fit. B. It’s a way to gain popularity. C. It’s an expression of inner feelings. D. It’s a chance to get financial support. 5. What motivates Walsh to make the current achievement? A. Her consistent enthusiasm for dance. B. Her improved economical conditions. C. Her determination to become superior. D. Her eagerness for reputation and recognition. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Walsh? A. Ambitious and creative. B. Positive and committed. C. Fearless and enterprising. D. Warmhearted and generous. 7. Which is a suitable title for the text? A. The History of Hip-Hop Dance B. How to Become a Viral Dance Figure C. Overcoming Hardships Through Dance D. The Inspirational Journey of a Hip-Hop Grandma C A real-world study by researchers at NTU Singapore has revealed that the application of cool paint coatings in cities can help pedestrians feel up to 1.5 degrees Celsius cooler, making the urban area more comfortable for work and leisure. Cool paint coatings contain additives that reflect the sun’s heat to reduce surface heat absorption and emission. They have been regarded as a potential solution to cool down the urban area and combat the Urban Heat Island effect, a phenomenon in which urban areas experience warmer temperatures than their outlying surroundings. Now, NTU researchers have conducted a pioneering real-world study to comprehensively evaluate how well cool paint coatings work in reducing city heat. To carry out their real-world experiments, the NTU researchers selected four rectangular buildings that created two “street canyons” — narrow streets lined by buildings. One canyon, or “cool canyon” was coated with cool paints on the roofs, walls, and road pavement, while the other canyon remained as it was as a “control” for the experiment. Using environmental sensors, the NTU team monitored the conditions in the two canyons over two months, which included air movement, surface and air temperature, humidity, and radiation, to see how well the cool paint coatings worked in reducing city heat. The researchers found that during a 24-hour cycle, the cool canyon saw up to a 30%reduction in heat released from the built-up surfaces, resulting in the air temperature in the cool canyon being cooler than the conventional canyon by up to 2°C during the hottest time of the day, at around 4 pm. As a result, pedestrians in the cool canyon can feel up to 1.5°C cooler. The NTU research team also found that air temperature in the cool canyon was lowered because less heat was absorbed by and stored in the building walls, roofs, and roads, which would subsequently have been released to either heat up the surrounding air or the building’s inside. With global warming, people will increasingly look for ways to stay cool. The study shows how cool paint coatings can be a strategy to reduce the Urban Heat Island effect in future. 8. What is the function of paragraph 2? A. To introduce the purpose of the study. B. To illustrate the findings of the study. C. To explain the theoretical base of the study. D. To provide background information for the study. 9. What is the primary purpose of the real-world study by NTU researchers? A. To assess the effectiveness of cool paint coatings. B. To investigate the effect of climate on urban areas. C. To study the behavior of pedestrians in urban areas. D. To analyze the impact of urbanization on the environment. 10. What is one potential benefit of using cool paint coatings in cities? A. Increasing air quality levels. B. Improving pedestrians’ comfort. C. Enhancing surface heat absorption. D. Saving energy consumption in winter. 11. What can we learn from the passage? A. The real-world study is a first of its kind study. B. The cool paint coatings also have markets in rural areas. C. The cool paint coatings have proved effective worldwide. D. Many cutting-edge technologies are employed in the study. D For thousands of years, humans have raced to be the first to climb a peak, cross a frontier, or document a new species or landscape. Now in some cases, people are racing to be the last. In recent years, a growing industry has been stimulated by climate change — last-chance tourism. According to Eco Sustainable Solutions, a UK-based organic recycling and waste processing company last-chance tourism is a kind of tourism geared toward seeing the last of something due to climate change. As temperatures and water levels rise, this could mean seizing the last chance to see the Great Barrier Reef, an Arctic glacier and a remote island that is sinking. As millions of tourists rush to imperiled destinations, some are taking advantage of the increasing demand to spread environmental awareness. One tourist spot, the Sea of Ice in France, opened an exhibit in 2021 to educate visitors on glaciers and climate change. This educational push seems to be having an impact, as a 2023 survey showed that 80% of the visitors would try to learn more about the environment and how to protect it while 77% said that they would reduce their water and energy use. However, the last-chance tourism industry may become kind of our concern. As more and more people flood into these areas in a panic to see them before they are gone, they in fact contribute to the increased greenhouse gas emissions and over-tourism, leading to their destruction. Just as many scholars put it, last-chance tourism is a paradox (悖论). Although tourists may acknowledge the broader risks and importance of climate change, it’s even more important to connect the responsibility of the individual tourism to the future of our planet. It’s not just about understanding the need to stop climate change; it’s even more important to avoid making it worse. 12. What is last-chance tourism primarily driven by? A. Adventure seeking. B. Cultural exploration. C. Environmental awareness. D. Historical preservation. 13. What does the underlined word “imperiled” in paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Developed. B. Endangered. C. Deserted. D. Preserved. 14. What is suggested in addressing the negative impacts of last-chance tourism? A. Promoting cultural preservation efforts. B. Spreading awareness about climate change. C. Reducing individual contributions to climate change. D. Encouraging more tourists to visit imperiled destinations. 15. Which of the following can best describe last-chance tourism? A. It’s a stone to kill two birds. B. It’s a double-edged sword. C. It’s a life jacket in the stormy sea. D. It’s a solution once and for all. 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。 Riding a bike boosts mental well-being. ___16___ They don’t see it as work and rather, they see it as fun and freedom.

When Dave Tally found a backpack with a laptop and an envelope full of cash in 2010, he could have considered it a very lucky day. The homeless man counted $3,300 in the bag, an amount that would make a huge difference in his life. However, as tempting (诱人的) as it was to keep the money, deep down he knew it wasn’t the right thing to do. Back then, Tally was sleeping in the basements of local churches and trying to save up enough money to fix his only source of transportation: his bike. That money could have bought him, a brand new one. Instead, he turned the bag to his boss at the Tempe Community Action Agency, an organization that helps homeless people in the area find jobs. Tally had been working there part-time. “Finding the envelope with the cash was just exciting. There were lots of crazy thoughts that went through my head,” Tally told ABC News at the time. “I went into the survival mode for a moment, actually more than a moment, thinking about all the things I could do for myself.” “I beat myself up pretty hard for even thinking I would spend one cent of that person’s money,” Tally added. After Tally made up his mind to return the bag, he faced the problem of tracking down its owner. There were no identifiers on the backpack or a way to get into the laptop without a password. But then someone suggested checking the flash drive (闪存盘) that they’d also found inside the bag to see if it held any clues (线索). It sure did. Arizona State University student Bryan Belanger had uploaded his resume (简历) to the drive, easily providing Tally with his contact information. As it turned out, Bryan Belanger was carrying that cash because he was buying a used car from Craigslist website, and he accidentally left his belongings in a station on the way to work. Paragraph 1: Belanger was regretful for his carelessness and thought his backpack was gone forever. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Tally said the day he found the money’s rightful owner was the day his life changed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高一英语试卷 2023-2024 学年度下学期期末质量检测 本试卷满分150 分，考试用时120 分钟。 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共 5 小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5 分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了四本与树木相关的书籍，每本书都从不同的角度探讨了树木及其与人类的关系。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章中对《Twelve Trees》的介绍“Lewis believes trees and people have more in common than you might think. “These twelve trees reflect aspects of ourselves. We coexist with them, and thus have a responsibility to understand them better.””(刘易斯认为树木和人类之间的共同点比你想象的要多。“这十二棵树反映了我们的某些方面。我们与它们共存，因此有责任更好地了解它们。”)可知，《Twelve Trees》强调了树木和人类之间的相似性，故选C项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章中对《The Tree Doctor》的介绍“A woman helps tend her mother's garden, leading her to confirm what she already knows: Her life as a wife and mother has caused her to ignore herself, and she must prioritize saving herself even more urgently than caring for her mother's flowers.”(一个女人帮助照顾她母亲的花园，这让她确认了她已经知道的事情：作为一个妻子和母亲的生活使她忽视了自己，她必须更紧迫地优先考虑拯救自己，而不是照顾她母亲的花。)可知，《The Tree Doctor》的中心主题是自我关怀的重要性，故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章中对《The Overstory》的介绍“The Overstory begins with the nine characters whose lives will come together as the fiction unfolds.

Richard Powers pulls you into their lives and fills you with astonishing facts about trees(《树冠》以九个角色开场，随着小说的展开，他们的生活将交织在一起。他们的故事为一个关于几位决心保护一片古老森林的环保主义者的故事奠定了基础。理查德·鲍尔斯将你带入他们的生活，并让你充满关于树木的惊人事实)”以及《The Tree Doctor》的介绍“A woman helps tend her mother's garden, leading her to confirm what she already knows: Her life as a wife and mother has caused her to ignore herself, and she must prioritize saving herself even more urgently than caring for her mother's flowers.”(一个女人帮助照顾她母亲的花园，这让她确认了她已经知道的事情：作为一个妻子和母亲的生活使她忽视了自己，她必须更紧迫地优先考虑拯救自己，而不是照顾她母亲的花。)可知，这两本书都是小说，即它们具有相同的文学形式，故选D项。 B When Stephanie Walsh began her dancing journey in her twenties, viral videos didn't exist. Now in her seventies, the hip-hop grandma has gained worldwide attention with her dynamic dance moves and incredible energy. Walsh, better known as “Ms. Stephanie” online, has been featured on social media accounts with some videos drawing millions of people to watch. Her profile claims she is “inspiring the world to dance like no one is watching.” But they are watching, with a fanbase that is rapidly expanding everyday.“Dance isn’t just your body, it’s what you’re feeling inside about the dance and it’s what comes out here in your face,” Walsh said. “That’s what I want to put through my movement, is how much fun it is, how much joy it gives you.” From a young age, Walsh loved to dance but her family didn’t have the money for classes. So she waited until she was nearly 30 to return to her childhood love. Walsh believes her lifelong passion for dance makes what she is today. “Everybody has to have a passion in their life,” she said. “It’s like that saying, ‘A life without passion is a life half lived.’ I believe that.” She went through countless hardships in life, and she has more than enough reasons to keep her down. But they don’t. Whenever she needs a lift, she turns to dance, shining as an inspiration to those around her. At 40 years her junior, Gilbert, one of her followers, said Walsh inspires him every day. “I love that Ms. Stephanie is so humble. She’s thankful that her videos are getting millions of views, but she still shows up and puts on a show because that’s what she wants to do. She’s a beautiful soul who taught me that it doesn’t matter about your age or your size. As long as you feel good, that’s all that matters.” 4. What does Walsh emphasize about dance in her remark? A. It’s a means of keeping fit. B. It’s a way to gain popularity. C. It’s an expression of inner feelings. D. It’s a chance to get financial support. 5. What motivates Walsh to make the current achievement? A. Her consistent enthusiasm for dance. B. Her improved economical conditions. C. Her determination to become superior. D. Her eagerness for reputation and recognition. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Walsh? A. Ambitious and creative. B. Positive and committed. C. Fearless and enterprising. D. Warmhearted and generous. 7. Which is a suitable title for the text? A. The History of Hip-Hop Dance B. How to Become a Viral Dance Figure C. Overcoming Hardships Through Dance D. The Inspirational Journey of a Hip-Hop Grandma 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7.

But they don’t. Whenever she needs a lift, she turns to dance, shining as an inspiration to those around her.(她在生活中经历了无数的磨难，她有足够多的理由让她失望。但他们没有。每当她需要帮助时，她就会跳舞，给周围的人带来灵感)”可知，沃尔什是一个积极乐观且全身心投入的人，故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段中沃尔什的话“Dance isn’t just your body, it’s what you’re feeling inside about the dance and it’s what comes out here in your face,(舞蹈不仅仅是你的身体，它是你对舞蹈内心的感觉，也是从你的脸部流露出来的东西)”、第三段“Walsh believes her lifelong passion for dance makes what she is today(沃尔什相信，她对舞蹈的终生热爱塑造了她今天的样子)”以及“Everybody has to have a passion in their life,” she said. “It’s like that saying, “A life without passion is a life half lived.” I believe that.”(每个人生活中都必须有一份热情，”她说。“就像那句话所说，‘没有热情的生活是半生不熟的生活。’我相信这一点)”以及最后一段中Gilbert的话“She’s a beautiful soul who taught me that it doesn’t matter about your age or your size. As long as you feel good, that's all that matters.(她是一位美丽的灵魂，教会了我年龄和体型并不重要。只要你感觉良好，那就是最重要的)”可知，文章讲述了Stephanie Walsh这位70岁的嘻哈舞奶奶如何通过她对舞蹈的热爱和坚持，成为了一位受到全球关注的舞蹈家，并通过她的故事激励了他人。因此，选项D“The Inspirational Journey of a Hip-Hop Grandma(一位嘻哈奶奶的励志之旅)”作为文章的标题最为合适，既概括了文章的主要内容，也体现了文章的中心思想。故选D。 C A real-world study by researchers at NTU Singapore has revealed that the application of cool paint coatings in cities can help pedestrians feel up to 1.5 degrees Celsius cooler, making the urban area more comfortable for work and leisure. Cool paint coatings contain additives that reflect the sun’s heat to reduce surface heat absorption and emission. They have been regarded as a potential solution to cool down the urban area and combat the Urban Heat Island effect, a phenomenon in which urban areas experience warmer temperatures than their outlying surroundings. Now, NTU researchers have conducted a pioneering real-world study to comprehensively evaluate how well cool paint coatings work in reducing city heat. To carry out their real-world experiments, the NTU researchers selected four rectangular buildings that created two “street canyons” — narrow streets lined by buildings. One canyon, or “cool canyon” was coated with cool paints on the roofs, walls, and road pavement, while the other canyon remained as it was as a “control” for the experiment. Using environmental sensors, the NTU team monitored the conditions in the two canyons over two months, which included air movement, surface and air temperature, humidity, and radiation, to see how well the cool paint coatings worked in reducing city heat. The researchers found that during a 24-hour cycle, the cool canyon saw up to a 30%reduction in heat released from the built-up surfaces, resulting in the air temperature in the cool canyon being cooler than the conventional canyon by up to 2°C during the hottest time of the day, at around 4 pm. As a result, pedestrians in the cool canyon can feel up to 1.5°C cooler. The NTU research team also found that air temperature in the cool canyon was lowered because less heat was absorbed by and stored in the building walls, roofs, and roads, which would subsequently have been released to either heat up the surrounding air or the building’s inside. With global warming, people will increasingly look for ways to stay cool. The study shows how cool paint coatings can be a strategy to reduce the Urban Heat Island effect in future. 8. What is the function of paragraph 2? A. To introduce the purpose of the study. B. To illustrate the findings of the study. C. To explain the theoretical base of the study. D. To provide background information for the study. 9. What is the primary purpose of the real-world study by NTU researchers? A. To assess the effectiveness of cool paint coatings. B. To investigate the effect of climate on urban areas. C. To study the behavior of pedestrians in urban areas. D. To analyze the impact of urbanization on the environment. 10. What is one potential benefit of using cool paint coatings in cities? A. Increasing air quality levels. B. Improving pedestrians’ comfort. C. Enhancing surface heat absorption. D. Saving energy consumption in winter. 11. What can we learn from the passage? A. The real-world study is a first of its kind study. B. The cool paint coatings also have markets in rural areas. C. The cool paint coatings have proved effective worldwide. D. Many cutting-edge technologies are employed in the study. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了南洋理工大学研究人员在现实世界测试了冷却涂料的有效性，证实了冷却涂料可以成为未来减少城市热岛效应的一种策略。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Cool paint coatings contain additives that reflect the sun’s heat to reduce surface heat absorption and emission. They have been regarded as a potential solution to cool down the urban area and combat the Urban Heat Island effect, a phenomenon in which urban areas experience warmer temperatures than their outlying surroundings. (冷却涂料含有能反射太阳热量的添加剂，以减少表面热量的吸收和释放。它们被认为是给城市降温和对抗城市热岛效应的潜在解决方案。城市热岛效应是指城市地区的温度高于其外围地区。)”可知，第二段的作用是为研究提供背景信息。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Now, NTU researchers have conducted a pioneering real-world study to comprehensively evaluate how well cool paint coatings work in reducing city heat. (现在，南洋理工大学的研究人员进行了一项开创性的现实世界研究，全面评估了冷却涂料在减少城市热量方面的效果。)”可知，南洋理工大学研究人员进行现实世界研究的主要目的是评估冷却涂料的有效性。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“As a result, pedestrians in the cool canyon can feel up to 1.5°C cooler. (因此，在凉爽的峡谷中，行人可以感受到高达1.5°C的凉爽。)”可知，在城市中使用冷却涂料的一个潜在好处是提高行人舒适度。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Now, NTU researchers have conducted a pioneering real-world study to comprehensively evaluate how well cool paint coatings work in reducing city heat. (现在，南洋理工大学的研究人员进行了一项开创性的现实世界研究，全面评估了冷却涂料在减少城市热量方面的效果。)”可知，这项真实世界的研究是同类研究中的首例。故选A。 D For thousands of years, humans have raced to be the first to climb a peak, cross a frontier, or document a new species or landscape. Now in some cases, people are racing to be the last. In recent years, a growing industry has been stimulated by climate change — last-chance tourism. According to Eco Sustainable Solutions, a UK-based organic recycling and waste processing company last-chance tourism is a kind of tourism geared toward seeing the last of something due to climate change. As temperatures and water levels rise, this could mean seizing the last chance to see the Great Barrier Reef, an Arctic glacier and a remote island that is sinking. As millions of tourists rush to imperiled destinations, some are taking advantage of the increasing demand to spread environmental awareness. One tourist spot, the Sea of Ice in France, opened an exhibit in 2021 to educate visitors on glaciers and climate change. This educational push seems to be having an impact, as a 2023 survey showed that 80% of the visitors would try to learn more about the environment and how to protect it while 77% said that they would reduce their water and energy use. However, the last-chance tourism industry may become kind of our concern. As more and more people flood into these areas in a panic to see them before they are gone, they in fact contribute to the increased greenhouse gas emissions and over-tourism, leading to their destruction. Just as many scholars put it, last-chance tourism is a paradox (悖论). Although tourists may acknowledge the broader risks and importance of climate change, it’s even more important to connect the responsibility of the individual tourism to the future of our planet. It’s not just about understanding the need to stop climate change; it’s even more important to avoid making it worse. 12. What is last-chance tourism primarily driven by? A. Adventure seeking. B. Cultural exploration. C. Environmental awareness. D. Historical preservation. 13. What does the underlined word “imperiled” in paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Developed. B. Endangered. C. Deserted. D. Preserved. 14. What is suggested in addressing the negative impacts of last-chance tourism? A. Promoting cultural preservation efforts. B. Spreading awareness about climate change. C. Reducing individual contributions to climate change. D. Encouraging more tourists to visit imperiled destinations. 15. Which of the following can best describe last-chance tourism? A. It’s a stone to kill two birds. B. It’s a double-edged sword. C. It’s a life jacket in the stormy sea. D. It’s a solution once and for all. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了由于气候变化引发的“最后机会旅游”现象。这种旅游形式旨在让人们抓住最后的机会去参观那些因气候变化而面临消失的自然景观。然而，这种旅游方式也带来了负面影响，如增加了温室气体排放和过度旅游，加剧了这些地区的破坏。文章通过分析这一现象，呼吁人们在旅游时意识到个人责任，避免加剧气候变化。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“last-chance tourism is a kind of tourism geared toward seeing the last of something due to climate change(最后机会旅游是一种针对因气候变化而即将消失的景点的旅游)”可知，最后机会旅游主要是由环境意识驱动的，人们希望抓住最后的机会去参观那些因气候变化而面临消失的地方。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。第二段中“last-chance tourism is a kind of tourism geared toward seeing the last of something due to climate change. As temperatures and water levels rise, this could mean seizing the last chance to see the Great Barrier Reef, an Arctic glacier and a remote island that is sinking.(‘最后一次旅游’是一种旨在看到气候变化导致的最后一幕的旅游。随着气温和水位的上升，这可能意味着抓住最后的机会去看大堡礁，一个北极冰川和一个正在下沉的偏远岛屿)”提到“最后一次旅游”是去那些即将消失、濒危的目的地，根据文章第三段中的“As millions of tourists rush to … destinations, some are taking advantage of the increasing demand to spread environmental awareness(数百万游客涌向这些……目的地，一些人利用这种增长的需求来传播环境意识)”可知，数百万游客涌向这些处于危险中的目的地，一些人利用这种增长的需求来传播环境意识。由此可推测，“imperiled”意味着“处于危险中的”。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Although tourists may acknowledge the broader risks and importance of climate change, it’s even more important to connect the responsibility of the individual tourism to the future of our planet. It’s not just about understanding the need to stop climate change; it's even more important to avoid making it worse(尽管游客可能认识到气候变化的广泛风险和重要性，但将个人旅游的责任与地球的未来联系起来更为重要。这不仅仅是理解停止气候变化的需要，更重要的是避免使其变得更糟)”可推理出，解决最后机会旅游的负面影响应该减少个人对气候变化的作用。 故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“However, the last-chance tourism industry may become kind of our concern. As more and more people flood into these areas in a panic to see them before they are gone, they in fact contribute to the increased greenhouse gas emissions and over-tourism, leading to their destruction. Just as many scholars put it, last-chance tourism is a paradox (悖论).( 最后机会旅游产业可能成为我们关注的问题。随着越来越多的人涌入这些地区，希望在它们消失之前看到它们，实际上他们增加了温室气体排放和过度旅游，导致这些地方的破坏。正如许多学者所说，最后机会旅游是一个悖论)”可知，最后机会旅游可以被描述为一把双刃剑，既有积极的一面，也有消极的一面。 故选B项。 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。 Riding a bike boosts mental well-being. ___16___ They don’t see it as work and rather, they see it as fun and freedom.

When Dave Tally found a backpack with a laptop and an envelope full of cash in 2010, he could have considered it a very lucky day. The homeless man counted $3,300 in the bag, an amount that would make a huge difference in his life. However, as tempting (诱人的) as it was to keep the money, deep down he knew it wasn’t the right thing to do. Back then, Tally was sleeping in the basements of local churches and trying to save up enough money to fix his only source of transportation: his bike. That money could have bought him, a brand new one. Instead, he turned the bag to his boss at the Tempe Community Action Agency, an organization that helps homeless people in the area find jobs. Tally had been working there part-time. “Finding the envelope with the cash was just exciting. There were lots of crazy thoughts that went through my head,” Tally told ABC News at the time. “I went into the survival mode for a moment, actually more than a moment, thinking about all the things I could do for myself.” “I beat myself up pretty hard for even thinking I would spend one cent of that person’s money,” Tally added. After Tally made up his mind to return the bag, he faced the problem of tracking down its owner. There were no identifiers on the backpack or a way to get into the laptop without a password. But then someone suggested checking the flash drive (闪存盘) that they’d also found inside the bag to see if it held any clues (线索). It sure did. Arizona State University student Bryan Belanger had uploaded his resume (简历) to the drive, easily providing Tally with his contact information. As it turned out, Bryan Belanger was carrying that cash because he was buying a used car from Craigslist website, and he accidentally left his belongings in a station on the way to work. Paragraph 1: Belanger was regretful for his carelessness and thought his backpack was gone forever. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Tally said the day he found the money’s rightful owner was the day his life changed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Belanger was regretful for his carelessness and thought his backpack was gone forever. When he saw Tally with his backpack, he was so moved that he offered a cash reward which was turned down by Tally. Meanwhile, Tally’s story made the local news, and strangers began sending him cheques and seeking him out to hand him cash in person. As a result, he had more than enough to fix his bike; what’s more, he was able to use his experience to educate others and change the way people think of homeless people. Paragraph 2: Tally said the day he found the money’s rightful owner was the day his life changed. From then on, people kept sending him donations to the point where he was able to get his own apartment and stop sleeping in church basements. But he never gave up helping people; he gave some of the donations to Tempe Community Action Agency and encouraged people to provide homeless people with more work opportunities. In his efforts, more homeless people found suitable jobs, improved their living conditions, and turned their lives around. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了流浪汉Dave Tally发现了一个背包里有一台笔记本电脑和一个装满现金的信封，他没有选择把钱留下，而是把袋子交给了他在坦佩社区行动机构的老板，这是一个帮助该地区无家可归者找工作的组织。最终找到了物主Bryan Belanger，人们得知Tally的事迹后也开始帮助Tally。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Belanger后悔自己的粗心大意，以为自己的背包再也找不到了”可知，第一段可描写Belanger找回背包后的感受以及Tally开始得到陌生人的资助。 ②由第二段首句内容“Tally说，当他找到这笔钱的真正主人的那天，他的生活发生了改变”可知，第二段可描写Tally的生活发生了怎样的改变以及感悟。 2.续写线索：后悔——找回背包——感动——Tally得到陌生人资助——Tally生活发生改变——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 停止：give up/quit/stop 拒绝：turn down/decline 能够：be able to /be capable of 情绪类 后悔：regretful / repentant 感动：moved /touched 【点睛】[高分句型1] When he saw Tally with his backpack, he was so moved that he offered a cash reward which was turned down by Tally.(运用了when引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] From then on, people kept sending him donations to the point where he was able to get his own apartment and stop sleeping in church basements.
