I was sitting in between my parents on a 15-hour flight from Toronto to Seoul, where I was going to negotiate a book project. My Airbnb had enough room for us all. So when my parents brought it up as a half-joke that they would come, too, I didn’t think it was unreasonable.
I was merely 8 when we embarked on our immigration journey. Korea was their country. They wouldn’t need me there as they did in Canada. But the first week proved to be rough. We were upside down with the time change. My father announced that the first thing they wanted to do was visit my grandma’s grave (坟墓). We had discussed visiting a few relatives, but going to grandma’s grave had never come up. It was starting: family obligations seized my work time. “You guys go,” I said. While my father showered, my mother took me aside. “Your dad has always been counting the days for the moment when he can show her how well you grew up.” I laughed but I was deeply moved. So I decided to accompany them.
As we approached the graveyard, I gathered some colored wildflowers from the parking lot and tied them with a long piece of grass. My parents got busy weeding around the headstone. ”Your name is on the back, my father said. “See here?” I looked, and there was my Korean name carved beside those of my siblings and cousins. It felt odd to see our names on the headstone all of us, the living and dead, connected. I saw a link in a chain that stretches generations back.
I didn’t know how to tell them that the trip was amazing. I realized how I was intertwined with them, and they were interwoven into me. We don’t belong to languages or countries. My grandma died only four months before we moved to Canada, when she was too frail (虚弱的) to make the trip. I hope she knows that we did take her, and that maybe all we have is each other.
4. What was the main reason for the author’s trip to Seoul?
A. To visit grandma’s graveyard. B. To have a family reunion.
C. To work on a project. D. To accompany his parents.

A. To introduce the author to relatives. B. To fulfil a long-awaited wish.
C. To observe a family ceremony. D. To help with weeding.

The elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school. ”
“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.”
“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”
8. What is the purpose of the project?
A. To ensure harmony in care homes. B. To provide part-time jobs for the aged.
C. To raise money for medical research. D. To promote the elderly people’s welfare.
9. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier?

The rainforests are alive with the sound of animals. Besides the pleasure of the noise, it is also useful to ecologists. If you want to measure the biodiversity of a piece of land, listening out for animal calls is much easier than looking for tracks or spoor in the woods. But such “bioacoustic analysis” is still time-consuming, and it requires an expert pair of ears.
In a paper published in Nature Communications, a group of researchers led by Jörg Müller, an ecologist at the University of Würzburg, describe a better way: have a computer do the job. Smartphone apps already exist that will identify birds, bats or mammals simply by listening to the sounds they make. Their idea was to apply the principle to conservation work.
The researchers took recordings from across 43 sites in the Ecuadorean rainforest. Sound recordings were taken four times every hour, over two weeks. The various calls were identified manually by an expert, and then used to construct a list of the species present. Then it was the computer’s turn. The researchers fed their recordings to artificial-intelligence models that had been trained, using sound samples from elsewhere in Ecuador, to identify 75 bird species from their calls. “We found that the AI tools could identify the sounds as well as the experts,” says Dr Müller. Of course, not everything in a rainforest makes a noise. Dr Müller and his colleagues used light-traps to capture night-flying insects, and DNA analysis to identify them. Reassuringly, they found that the diversity of noisy animals was a reliable proxy (指标) for the diversity of the quieter ones, too.
The results may have relevance outside ecology departments, too. Under pressure from their customers, firms such as L’Oreal, a make-up company, and Shell, an oil firm, have been spending money on forest restoration projects around the world. Dr Müller hopes that an automated approach to checking on the results could help monitor such efforts, and give a standardized way to measure whether they are working as well as their sponsors say.
12. What is the purpose of paragraph 1 ?
A. To lead in a new way to identify calls of animals.
B. To highlight the significance of the sound of animals.
C. To point out limitations of traditional bioacoustic analysis.
D To compare different ways to measure the diversity in the wild.
13. What was the inspiration to do the research?
A. The expert pairs of ears. B. The existing functions of apps.
C. The recordings from across 43 sites. D. The urgency of protecting biodiversity.
14. How did the researchers prove AI effective?
A. By analyzing DNA. B. By comparing results.
C. By observing process. D. By identifying samples.
15. What can be inferred in the last paragraph?
A. Many consumers are concerned about ecological issues.
B. Some firms have been sponsoring the development of AI.
C. Dr Müller hopes forest restoration projects to be effective.
D. The new way has become a standardized way to monitor the effectiveness.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据下面短文,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。
Studies have shown that walking among trees makes us relaxed. ___16___There’s plenty of research showing the link between being in nature and being happy, but most of the research has focused on adults.
___17___ Explaining the motivation behind the study, researchers note that with environmental issues such as global warming, more studies are focusing on the relationships between humans and nature to find solutions to these problems, and the future of the planet lies in the hands of children and their actions. However, few studies focus on this aspect.
For the study, researchers worked with 296 children between the ages of 9 and 12. To measure how connected they were to nature, the kids were asked how much they enjoy activities like seeing wildflowers and wild animals, hearing sounds of nature and touching animals and plants. ___18___They also found that the more concerned children were about the environment and nature, the more likely they were to be happy.
So exposure to nature is related to active behaviors and happiness of children. What does that mean to adults? As we all know, children usually tend to follow adults’, especially their parents’ behaviors. That’s to say, when adults are outside and appreciate nature, kids learn by example. ___19___
Researchers say that children need role models who can gently guide them to nature with excitement and an attitude of a lifelong learner. ___20___ What’s more important is that they spend time together with children by exploring a fun and safe environment.
A. It’s so good going for a walk around trees.
B. Even just smelling the trees helps reduce anxiety.
C. And if parents enjoy being close to nature, so will their children.
D. Parents don’t have to be experts in environmental science or nature studies.
E. They found that the kids connected to nature were more likely to behave actively.
F. In a new study researchers wanted to see if kids get the same benefits from being outdoors.
G. Researchers will study more about the connection between children’s happiness and nature.
【答案】16. B 17. F 18. E 19. C 20. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者在文章中援引研究表明接近自然对孩子成长的重要性。
【16题详解】
根据前句提到“研究表明,在树林中散步能使我们放松”可知,B项“即使只是闻一下树木的气味也有助于减轻焦虑”和前句构成递进关系。所以B项切题。故选B项。
【17题详解】
根据后句提到“在解释这项研究背后的动机时,研究人员指出,随着全球变暖等环境问题的出现,越来越多的研究关注人类与自然之间的关系,以找到解决这些问题的办法,而地球的未来掌握在孩子和他们的行动手中。然而,这方面的研究很少。”可知,F项“在一项新的研究中,研究人员想看看孩子们是否能从户外活动中获得同样的好处”中提到的“In a new study”和后句的“Explaining the motivation behind the study”是同一个研究。同时后句提到的内容是前句提到研究的原因。所以F项切题。故选F项。
【18题详解】
根据后句提到“他们还发现,孩子们越关心环境和自然,他们就越有可能快乐”可知,E项“他们发现,亲近自然的孩子更可能表现得积极”和前句都是研究的发现,两者之间表示并列关系。所以E项切题。故选E项。
【19题详解】
根据划线前提到“也就是说,当成年人在户外欣赏大自然时,孩子们会学他们”可知,C选项“如果父母喜欢亲近大自然,他们的孩子也会喜欢”前后两句都在讲父母对孩子的影响,前后两句表示并列。所以C项切题。故选C项。
【20题详解】
根据划线前提到“研究人员说,孩子们需要榜样,他们可以带着快乐和终身学习者的态度温和地引导他们进入大自然”和后句的“更重要的是,他们花时间和孩子们一起探索一个有趣和安全的环境”可知,D选项“父母不必是环境科学或自然研究方面的专家”此处起承上启下的作用。所以D项切题。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了美国国家公园的由来,即四个男人发现了一处非常美的自然风景区,决定好好保护它以供后人欣赏,并为此做出了许多努力。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:尽管各级都有各种规模和类型的公园,但国家公园尤其吸引我们的注意,因为它们体积大,种类繁多。固定搭配:tend to do sth.,表示“倾向于做某事”,不定式作宾语,故填to catch。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:它们是美国传统的瑰宝。treasure表示“宝藏”,为可数名词,结合前文they are,应用复数形式,故填treasures。
【38题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:1870年9月中旬,在一个凉爽、繁星点点的夜晚,四个男人在火洞河边的营火前放松,这里现在是怀俄明州的西北部。后文为介词in的宾语,is前缺主语,指物,主语用what引导宾语从句,作介词in的宾语,故填what。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意:他们是一个由15人组成的探险队的一部分,他们花了近五个星期的时间来见证那里的自然美景。本空前They指代上文提及的四个男人,时间为1870年,同时联系后文had spent的过去完成时可知,本空时态为过去式且为复数形式,故填were。
【40题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:对于这样一个美丽的地方,我们应该做些什么呢?主语what指物,与谓语动词do是被动关系,情态动词should后接be done构成被动语态,故填be done。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意:这个地区拥有独特的、令人惊叹的自然美景,必须作为国家公园保护好,为了所有国家的人都能享受。修饰名词beauty用形容词性物主代词its,故填its。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。介词for表目的,表示“为了所有国家的人都能享受”。 故填for。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:他们都同意了,并发誓要在旅行结束后推广这个想法。冠词修饰名词,本空应填名词作宾语,complete名词形式为completion,不可数,故填completion。
【44题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:黄石公园是美国最大的国家公园,占地220万英亩,直到1978年成为国家纪念碑的阿拉斯加南部的弗兰格尔-圣伊莱亚斯在1980年以1230万英亩的面积作为国家公园获得这项荣誉。本空前有the,为形容词最高级标志词,结合下文“1978年成为国家纪念碑的阿拉斯加南部的弗兰格尔-圣伊莱亚斯在1980年以1230万英亩的面积获得国家公园的荣誉”可知,用large的最高级largest作定语,故填largest。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。本空所在句子为定语从句,先行词为Wrangell-Saint Elias,从句中作主语,指物,引导非限制性定语从句用which,故填which。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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 was invited to a cookout on an old friend’s farm in western Washington. I parked my car outside the farm and walked past a milking house which had apparently not been used in many years. A noise at a window caught my attention, so I entered it. It was a hummingbird (蜂鸟), desperately trying to escape. She was covered in spider-webs (蛛网) and was barely able to move her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up.
With the bird in my cupped hand, I looked around to see how she had gotten in. The broken window glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece of cloth into the hole and took her outside, closing the door securely behind me.
When I opened my hand, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes. I removed the sticky spider-webs that covered her head and wings. Still, she made no attempt to fly. Perhaps she had been struggling against the window too long and was too tired? Or too thirsty?
As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path toward my car where I kept a water bottle, she began to move. I stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away.
Hovering (悬停), she approached within six inches of my face. For a very long moment, this tiny creature looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side. Then she flew quickly out of sight.
During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident. They promised to fix the window. As I was departing, my friends walked me to my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew to the center of our group and began hovering. She turned from person to person until she came to me. She again looked directly into my eyes, then let out a squeaking call and was gone. For a moment, all were speechless. Then someone said, “She must have come to say goodbye.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
A few weeks later, I went to the farm again.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
A few weeks later, I went to the farm again. As my car neared it my thoughts drifted back to the moment when I rescued the hummingbird from the spider’s web. I rushed back to the deserted house. It was a great comfort that the original hole in the window was nowhere to be found. Leaving the house, I couldn’t help wondering how it was getting on now. Had it managed to find its way back home, or was it still out there somewhere struggling to survive?
I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared. A flash of movement caught my attention. I turned around to see the same hummingbird hovering in the air. It seemed that the bird was waiting for me, its beady eyes locked on mine as if trying to convey some deep, unspoken gratitude. I felt a surge of relief and awe at the sight of this sound and grateful creature, and I knew that I would always cherish the memories we shared as I climbed into my car and drove away.

I was sitting in between my parents on a 15-hour flight from Toronto to Seoul, where I was going to negotiate a book project. My Airbnb had enough room for us all. So when my parents brought it up as a half-joke that they would come, too, I didn’t think it was unreasonable.
I was merely 8 when we embarked on our immigration journey. Korea was their country. They wouldn’t need me there as they did in Canada. But the first week proved to be rough. We were upside down with the time change. My father announced that the first thing they wanted to do was visit my grandma’s grave (坟墓). We had discussed visiting a few relatives, but going to grandma’s grave had never come up. It was starting: family obligations seized my work time. “You guys go,” I said. While my father showered, my mother took me aside. “Your dad has always been counting the days for the moment when he can show her how well you grew up.” I laughed but I was deeply moved. So I decided to accompany them.
As we approached the graveyard, I gathered some colored wildflowers from the parking lot and tied them with a long piece of grass. My parents got busy weeding around the headstone. ”Your name is on the back, my father said. “See here?” I looked, and there was my Korean name carved beside those of my siblings and cousins. It felt odd to see our names on the headstone all of us, the living and dead, connected. I saw a link in a chain that stretches generations back.
I didn’t know how to tell them that the trip was amazing. I realized how I was intertwined with them, and they were interwoven into me. We don’t belong to languages or countries. My grandma died only four months before we moved to Canada, when she was too frail (虚弱的) to make the trip. I hope she knows that we did take her, and that maybe all we have is each other.
4. What was the main reason for the author’s trip to Seoul?
A. To visit grandma’s graveyard. B. To have a family reunion.
C. To work on a project. D. To accompany his parents.
5. Why did the author initially decline to visit his grandma’s grave?
A. He was exhausted from the flight. B. He had work commitments.
C. He liked visiting other relatives better. D. He preferred exploring alone.
6. Why did the author’s father want to take him to grandma’s grave?
A. To introduce the author to relatives. B. To fulfil a long-awaited wish.
C. To observe a family ceremony. D. To help with weeding.
7. What did the author realize during the trip?
A. Never forget our home country. B. Family is a bridge to our future.
C. The world is one big family. D. Home is the bond with people.
C
The elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school. ”
“I like the project a lot I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.”
“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”
8. What is the purpose of the project?
A. To ensure harmony in care homes. B. To provide part-time jobs for the aged.
C. To raise money for medical research. D. To promote the elderly people’s welfare.
9. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier?
A. She has learned new life skills. B. She has gained a sense of achievement.
C. She has recovered her memory. D. She has developed a strong personality.
10 What do the underlined words “embark on” mean in paragraph 7?
A. Improve. B. Oppose. C. Begin. D. Evaluate.
11. What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs?
A It is well received. B. It needs to be more creative.
C. It is highly profitable. D. It takes ages to see the results.
D
The rainforests are alive with the sound of animals. Besides the pleasure of the noise, it is also useful to ecologists. If you want to measure the biodiversity of a piece of land, listening out for animal calls is much easier than looking for tracks or spoor in the woods. But such “bioacoustic analysis” is still time-consuming, and it requires an expert pair of ears.
In a paper published in Nature Communications, a group of researchers led by Jörg Müller, an ecologist at the University of Würzburg, describe a better way: have a computer do the job. Smartphone apps already exist that will identify birds, bats or mammals simply by listening to the sounds they make. Their idea was to apply the principle to conservation work.
The researchers took recordings from across 43 sites in the Ecuadorean rainforest. Sound recordings were taken four times every hour, over two weeks. The various calls were identified manually by an expert, and then used to construct a list of the species present. Then it was the computer’s turn. The researchers fed their recordings to artificial-intelligence models that had been trained, using sound samples from elsewhere in Ecuador, to identify 75 bird species from their calls. “We found that the AI tools could identify the sounds as well as the experts,” says Dr Müller. Of course, not everything in a rainforest makes a noise. Dr Müller and his colleagues used light-traps to capture night-flying insects, and DNA analysis to identify them. Reassuringly, they found that the diversity of noisy animals was a reliable proxy (指标) for the diversity of the quieter ones, too.
The results may have relevance outside ecology departments, too. Under pressure from their customers, firms such as L’Oreal, a make-up company, and Shell, an oil firm, have been spending money on forest restoration projects around the world. Dr Müller hopes that an automated approach to checking on the results could help monitor such efforts, and give a standardized way to measure whether they are working as well as their sponsors say.
12. What is the purpose of paragraph 1 ?
A. To lead in a new way to identify calls of animals.
B. To highlight the significance of the sound of animals.
C. To point out limitations of traditional bioacoustic analysis.
D. To compare different ways to measure the diversity in the wild.
13. What was the inspiration to do the research?
A. The expert pairs of ears. B. The existing functions of apps.
C. The recordings from across 43 sites. D. The urgency of protecting biodiversity.
14. How did the researchers prove AI effective?
A. By analyzing DNA. B. By comparing results.
C. By observing process. D. By identifying samples.
15. What can be inferred in the last paragraph?
A. Many consumers are concerned about ecological issues.
B. Some firms have been sponsoring the development of AI.
C. Dr Müller hopes forest restoration projects to be effective.
D. The new way has become a standardized way to monitor the effectiveness.

根据下面短文,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。
Studies have shown that walking among trees makes us relaxed. ___16___There’s plenty of research showing the link between being in nature and being happy, but most of the research has focused on adults.
___17___ Explaining the motivation behind the study, researchers note that with environmental issues such as global warming, more studies are focusing on the relationships between humans and nature to find solutions to these problems, and the future of the planet lies in the hands of children and their actions. However, few studies focus on this aspect.
For the study, researchers worked with 296 children between the ages of 9 and 12. To measure how connected they were to nature, the kids were asked how much they enjoy activities like seeing wildflowers and wild animals, hearing sounds of nature and touching animals and plants. ___18___They also found that the more concerned children were about the environment and nature, the more likely they were to be happy.
So exposure to nature is related to active behaviors and happiness of children. What does that mean to adults? As we all know, children usually tend to follow adults’, especially their parents’ behaviors. That’s to say, when adults are outside and appreciate nature, kids learn by example. ___19___
Researchers say that children need role models who can gently guide them to nature with excitement and an attitude of a lifelong learner. ___20___ What’s more important is that they spend time together with children by exploring a fun and safe environment.
A. It’s so good going for a walk around trees.
B. Even just smelling the trees helps reduce anxiety.
C. And if parents enjoy being close to nature, so will their children.
D. Parents don’t have to be experts in environmental science or nature studies.
E They found that the kids connected to nature were more likely to behave actively.
F. In a new study researchers wanted to see if kids get the same benefits from being outdoors.
G. Researchers will study more about the connection between children’s happiness and nature.
