Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023·河池高一检测)From time to time,Ding Peng makes his way across the waves to Zhongtiedun,an island in Zhejiang Province.He has made a point of coming back to visit it to greet and observe the Chinese crested terns(中华凤头燕鸥) over the past ten years.
The mediumsized bird is 3040 centimeters long,with gray wings and a white body.It was first discovered in Indonesia by an ornithologist(鸟类学家)in 1861.The birds were spotted in 1937 on islands around Qingdao,Shandong Province;however,there were no further sightings for the following 63 years.It was not until 2000 that a bird photographer spotted the seabird again on the Matsu Islands off the coast of Fujian Province,which immediately caused a storm in international ornithology circles for researchers once assumed that the birds had already died out.
Born in Lanzhou,Gansu Province,Ding grew up seeing barren(不毛的) mountains and sandstorms,and has an awareness of environmental protection at an early age.That was why,after graduating from university in 2012,he readily took a job offer from the Jiushan Archipelago National Nature Reserve (JANNR) in Zhejiang.“I love the sea and my major could be of some use in protecting it,”he says.
Looking back at his life on the islands,Ding admits that it was very tough.There was no electricity to charge mobile phones and no air conditioner in hot summer,and drinking water was sent in by supply ships.The worst was the loneliness,though things took a turn for the better in 2017,when more volunteers came to join the bird protection team.
Ding's contributions were recognized by the local authorities of Ningbo this year,who named him one of the city's “most beautiful people”.“Everything was worth it,now that more people are aware of the importance of protecting the birds,and now that the number of the birds is on the rise,” Ding says.
1.Why did the researchers feel surprised when the Chinese crested terns were found again in 2000?
A.Because the event made them shameful.
B.Because they were unable to catch them.
C.Because they thought the birds were extinct.
D.Because it was spotted by a photographer instead of them.
2.What was the main reason why Ding decided to work for JANNR?
A.His major.
B.The good salary.
C.The beautiful scenery.
D.His living experience at his hometown.
3.How is Ding's life on the islands?
A.Enjoyable. B.Difficult.
C.Inspiring. D.Adventurous.
4.What does Ding think of his team's work?
A.It's perfect. B.It's regrettable.
C.It's pointless. D.It's fruitful.

Ⅱ.七选五阅读
(2024·三明高一检测)If you think that this is about a tenyearold boy adopting a blind deer,you are wrong.If you think this is about a deer giving her love for her savior then you're wrong again.1. He helped this deer find grass to eat every morning.
A tenyearold boy in Chicago,Illinois spotted a blind deer that had wandered into his neighborhood,and he decided to help it find a safe place and give it some food.He made a regular morning habit of doing this before going to school.The roads are a dangerous place for blind animals.2.
When the Illinois Department of Natural Resources got to know about this,they immediately adopted the deer.They provided her with a proper,legal shelter.3. He didn't try to pet her.Therefore,he felt a sense of relief,knowing that the blind deer was safe.
4. Usually,when people find things they love,they naturally tend to make them their own and seldom like to share them with others.This example shows that loving something does not mean trying to own it.Caring is not possessing.What we learn from the boy is to live peacefully with our surroundings.
The blind deer and the boy spent very little time as friends.The boy did not let his feelings for her overpower himself.5. Being humans is not just about loving and hugging those we love; it is also about sharing our world with them.
A.What can we draw from the story?
B.But it doesn't mean that we cannot see his humanity and love.
C.It was a generous use of his early morning time before school.
D.How would you reward a kid who helped a blind deer in need?
E.That was when people knew that the boy hadn't named the deer.
F.So he carefully guided the creature across the streets and sidewalks.
G.Rather,this is about a boy who was kind enough to help a blind deer.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过讲述一个善良的男孩帮助一只失明的鹿的故事告诉我们:做人的意义不仅在于爱和拥抱我们所爱的,还在于与他们分享我们的世界。
1.G [解析]根据上文“如果你认为这是关于一个十岁的男孩收养一只失明的鹿的故事,那你就错了。如果你认为这是关于一只鹿对她的救星表达爱意的故事,那么你又错了”和下文“他每天早上都帮这只鹿找草吃”可知,文章空处指出到底是什么样的故事。G项“相反,这是关于一个善良的男孩帮助一只失明的鹿的故事。”承上启下。故选G。
2.F [解析]根据上文“伊利诺伊州芝加哥市的一个十岁男孩发现一只失明的鹿走进了他的社区,他决定帮它找一个安全的地方,给它一些食物。他养成了早上上学前做这件事的习惯。道路对失明的动物来说是个危险的地方”可知,接下来要介绍男孩要如何领着这只鹿过马路。F项“于是他小心翼翼地引导着这只动物穿过街道和人行道。”承接上文。故选F。
3.E [解析]根据下文“He didn't try to pet her.”可知,男孩没有打算把鹿当宠物养,所以应该是没有和鹿有太亲近的行为。E项“那时人们才知道这个男孩没有给鹿取名字。”和下文意思一致。故选E。
4.A [解析]下文提到“通常,当人们找到他们喜欢的东西时,他们自然倾向于把它们变成自己的,很少喜欢与他人分享。这个例子表明,爱一些事物并不意味着试图拥有它。关爱并不等于占有。我们从这个男孩身上学到的是与周围的环境和平相处”。由此可知,空后介绍的是作者对这个故事的感悟。A项“我们能从这个故事中学到什么?”符合语境。故选A。
5.B [解析]上文提到“虽然这只盲鹿和男孩相处时间并不长,男孩没有让他对它的感情压倒自己”,但这并不意味着我们无法看到他的善良和爱心。此处是作者对男孩的评价。B项承上启下,引出了最后的观点:做人的意义不仅在于爱和拥抱我们所爱的,还在于与他们分享我们的世界。故选B。

Save the Polar Bears!
The polar bears mostly live in the Arctic Ocean,and they are dying for a cold home.
With many forests cut down,the environment gets warmer and warmer.As a result,the ice of the Arctic Ocean melts quickly.They are losing their home.The population of their family has reduced to 20,000.
Saving the wildlife is saving the earth,so we must take measures to protect polar bears from dying out.
Ⅳ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had an independent and clever dog named Stickeen.He enjoyed the delicious food that my family prepared for him every day.He often ran out of my sight when walking with me.
Early one morning,I went to explore a nearby glacier(冰川).Stickeen followed me,and together we went upon the glacier.Later,I discovered that we were trapped between two very deep cracks(裂缝) in the glacier.The only way across it was a very thin ice that connected the cracks.I made a path across the “bridge” and got to the other side.But my dog was afraid to have a try and began to cry.After taking another careful look at the large cracks,he ran away hopelessly to find some other crossings.By the time he got back,he was confused of course.
When I reached the other side,he screamed louder than ever,and after running back and forth without searching for a good way to escape,he would return to the edge(边缘) of the crack,crying as if in the sadness of death.I called again and again in a sure voice to come on and fear nothing,but he would think for a moment,look down again at the “bridge”,and shout his unshakable thought that he could never,never come that way,and then lie back hopelessly,as if screaming,“Oooh! What a place! Nooo,I can never gooo down there!” At last,I seriously shouted to him that now I must certainly leave him and I could wait no longer if he could not come.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
He knew very well what I meant.
Paragraph 2:
When we went back home,Stickeen was a changed dog.
[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
He knew very well what I meant. At last,with the courage of despair,he crouched down on the edge,pressing his body against the ice as if counting onetwothree.Immediately I reached out my arm,and he succeeded in leaping to the safe place with two steps,one on the “bridge”,the other one on my arm.“Well done! Well done!” I cried,trying to catch him.He ran around me screaming and shouting as if saying,“Saved! Saved! Saved!”
Paragraph 2:
When we went back home,Stickeen was a changed dog.Instead of running out of my sight,he always lay by my side,and would hardly accept a piece of food,no matter how tempting the food was from any hand but mine.At night,he would come to me and rest his head on my knee with a look of devotion as if I were his God.And often as he caught my eye,he seemed to say,“Wasn't that an awful time we had together on the glacier?”
