Her love for animals led her to become a vegan(素食者), and she uses art as a creative outlet to promote kindness to all life. The fact that her work carries such an important message for the planet makes her paintings even more beautiful and moving. “I can feel the suffering of our planet and the pain that is being caused to animals,” she said. “My mission is to speak up for those who can’t.” Ekaterina began her art journey at The School of Fine Arts in Yaroslavl, Russia. There, she completed a fine arts program, which gave her the background she needed to become a conservation artist. She also received a scholarship to The Art School of Museum of Tel-Aviv. There, she expanded upon her knowledge and skills, learning to create her own unique style. Recently, Ekaterina went on a tour to different countries worldwide, painting murals(壁画) of various endangered species. With each mural, she made the audience look directly into the animals’ eyes. This helps them connect more with the animals and perhaps helps them realize their interconnectedness with the animals. “Each animal was colorful to highlight their uniqueness and individuality,” Ekaterina said. Her main goal is to connect people with animals, even in the most crowded urban places. We have greatly lost our connection to Mother Earth and all the creatures who inhabit it. Ekaterina’s work can help raise awareness about the fact that we all have to coexist here. She says our urban lifestyles make us forget about all the endangered species that we can help protect by making different choices. “As I believe, we connect through our eyes, which are windows into our soul, and I believe that when we get to meet someone’s soul, we don’t have a heart to hurt them,” Ekaterina said. 4. What inspires Ekaterina Sky to create art? A. Her childhood. B. Her love for animals. C. Her scholarships. D. Her travels. 5. What is the focus of paragraph 3? A. Ekaterina’s educational background in art. B. The achievements of Ekaterina’s unique artistic style. C. The reasons why Ekaterina wanted to be a conservation artist. D. The impact of Ekaterina’s art on wildlife conservation efforts. 6. How does Ekaterina Sky’s artwork contribute to wildlife conservation? A. By raising funds. B. By providing scientific data. C. By increasing public awareness. D. By influencing the local policy. 7. What can we learn from Ekaterina’s words in the last paragraph? A. Art doesn’t influence people’s feelings. B. Urban life helps protect endangered species. C. She seeks to expose environmental harm. D. She trusts our eyes link us to animals through art. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了野生动物保护艺术家Ekaterina Sky通过自己的画作让人们与自然和动物重新建立联系，为它们发声。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Recently, Ekaterina went on a tour to different countries worldwide, painting murals(壁画) of various endangered species.(最近，Ekaterina到世界各地旅行，绘制了各种濒危物种的壁画。)”可知，她到世界各地旅行，并画了各种濒危物种的壁画，由此可推测出，她的旅行经历激发她去创作艺术作品。故选D。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Ekaterina began her art journey at The School of Fine Arts in Yaroslavl, Russia. There, she completed a fine arts program, which gave her the background she needed to become a conservation artist. She also received a scholarship to The Art School of Museum of Tel-Aviv. There, she expanded upon her knowledge and skills, learning to create her own unique style.(Ekaterina在俄罗斯雅罗斯拉夫尔美术学院开始了她的艺术之旅。在那里，她完成了一个美术课程，这给了她成为一名保护艺术家所需的背景。她还获得了特拉维夫博物馆艺术学院的奖学金。在那里，她扩展了自己的知识和技能，学会了创造自己独特的风格。)”可知，本段主要讲述了Ekaterina接受艺术教育的背景。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This helps them connect more with the animals and perhaps helps them realize their interconnectedness with the animals.(这有助于他们与动物建立更多的联系，也许还有助于他们意识到与动物的相互联系。)”和第五段中的“Ekaterina’s work can help raise awareness about the fact that we all have to coexist here. She says our urban lifestyles make us forget about all the endangered species that we can help protect by making different choices.(Ekaterina的作品可以帮助提高人们对我们都必须在这里共存这一事实的认识。她说，我们的城市生活方式让我们忘记了所有我们可以通过做出不同选择来帮助保护的濒危物种。)”可推测出，Ekaterina的作品可以提高公众对野生动物保护的意识。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Ekaterina的话“As I believe, we connect through our eyes, which are windows into our soul, and I believe that when we get to meet someone’s soul, we don’t have a heart to hurt them(我相信，我们通过眼睛联系在一起，眼睛是我们灵魂的窗户，我相信，当我们遇到某人的灵魂时，我们没有伤害他们的心)”可推出，Ekaterina认为人类的眼睛通过观看艺术而将人类和动物联系在一起。故选D。 C Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa. Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project. Through the fertile (肥沃的) area in south Mozambique, the Limpopo River is flowing into the Indian Ocean in the Xai-Xai district. Benefiting from the vast farmland, a suitable climate, enough water and the support from China, the project is creating a bright future for the people here. Through cooperative planting methods, Wanbao is helping the local farmers develop successful rice plantations. It not only provides seeds, farm chemicals and fertilizers, but also does land leveling and water pumping (抽水). To have good harvests, farmers work hard and learn from the Chinese. Now the local farmers’ love for farming is growing and they are getting richer and richer. “I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare (公顷) of land,” says a mother of five children. “With the money, I have improved my life a lot. I have built my house and my children are going to school.” An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice. He is cultivating crops over 40 hectares. “Thanks to the project, both my children and grandchildren are living a stable life. Now I go to the fields to support the other farmers with teaching. I hope Wanbao will extend the growing areas to other corners of the county in the future to help fight poverty,” he says. 8. Why does the author mention “ni hao” in the first paragraph? A To show the popularity of the project in Mozambique. B. To indicate farmers’ Chinese language skills. C. To prove the importance of Chinese in Mozambique. D. To suggest Chinese is a requirement for working on the farm. 9. What can we know about the Wanbao project? A. It plants trees in urban areas. B. It teaches locals Chinese. C. It improves the local climate. D. It offers farming technologies for locals. 10. What does the underlined word “cultivating” in the last paragraph mean? A. Preparing. B. Growing. C. Selling. D. Pulling. 11. In which section of a website is the text likely to be found? A. Travel. B. Education. C. Agriculture. D. Art. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了万宝水稻种植项目帮助莫桑比克人民发展农业，实现脱贫。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project.(在这里，如果人们能用中文“你好”打招呼，他们当然也知道另一个中文词语“万宝”，这是中国一个水稻种植项目的名字。)”可知，凡是能用中文“你好”打招呼的人都会知道“万宝”这个中国水稻种植项目，由此可推测，这说明了该项目在莫桑比克非常受欢迎。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare(公顷) of land(我从水稻种植中受益匪浅，学会了在一公顷土地上使用中国技术生产水稻)”可知，万宝项目给当地人提供了农业技术。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词前一句“An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice.(一位老农民现在甚至在教其他农民如何种植水稻。)”和画线词后的“crops over 40 hectares”可知，这位老农民可以教其他农民如何种植水稻，由此可推测出，他在40公顷的土地上种植庄稼，cultivate意为“种植”，与grow意思一致。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa.(农民们在农场里载歌载舞庆祝水稻丰收。这是万宝莫桑比克稻田，中国在非洲最大的水稻种植项目。)”并结合下文可知，本文主要讲述了万宝水稻种植项目帮助莫桑比克人民种植水稻，与农业有关，所以本文最有可能出自网站上的农业版块。故选C。 D Kids everywhere love to play. And they know that a ball is a perfect thing to play with. Now scientists report bumblebees (大黄蜂) seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play. Lots of animals play: But the behavior is best known in mammals (哺乳动物) and birds. For many animals, playing is often seen as a kind of practice for things they’ll have to deal with in later life. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing. Dr. Lars Chittka did an earlier experiment, where he trained bumblebees to roll balls into a goal for food. He noticed some bees were rolling balls even when they weren’t rewarded. He wondered whether they were playing for rewards or not. To test the idea, he with other scientists set up a new experiment. First, they marked 45 young bumblebees, both male and female, between one and 23 days old. Then they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, small colored wooden balls were placed. On one side of the path, the balls couldn’t move. On the other side, the balls could roll around. For three hours, a day over 14 days, the scientists opened the pathway. The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food, but they left anyway. They weren’t so interested in the side where the balls couldn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls. Grabbing the balls with their legs, the bumblebees would beat their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 marked bumblebees did this 910 times during the experiment. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The scientists found the younger bumblebees spent more time rolling balls, and that males seemed more likely to play than females. The scientists say it’s not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it. But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings. 12. What is the common view about animals’ playing behavior? A. A form of fight. B. A form of training. C. A form of labor. D. A form of performance. 13. Why did Dr. Lars Chittka conduct the new experiment? A. To train bumblebees to play with balls. B. To figure out bumblebees’ feeding style. C. To explore if bumblebees play without a reward. D. To observe how bees interact with different objects: 14. What did the scientists find during the experiment? A. Bumblebees only played with balls when food was involved. B. Female bumblebees were more interested in playing than males. C. Older bumblebees spent more time rolling balls than younger ones. D. Bumblebees preferred balls that could roll to those that couldn’t. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. The purpose of insects playing is to prepare for life. B. Dr. Lars Chittka discovered a new way to train bees. C. Bumblebees are the first insects known to play. D. Playing is common among mammals and birds. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了研究发现大黄蜂似乎是第一个已知会玩的昆虫，但尚不清楚它们为什么这么做以及它们是否喜欢这样，即便如此，这项研究让人们想知道昆虫大脑的工作原理以及它们是否有情感。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For many animals, playing is often seen as a kind of practice for things they’ll have to deal with in later life.(对于许多动物来说，玩耍通常被视为一种对它们以后生活中必须处理的事情的练习。)”可知，人们普遍认为动物的玩耍行为是一种练习形式。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He wondered whether they were playing for rewards or not.(他想知道它们是否在为奖励而玩。)”和第四段中的“To test the idea, he with other scientists set up a new experiment.(为了验证这一想法，他和其他科学家一起进行了一项新的实验。)”可知，Lars Chittka博士进行这项新实验是为了验证大黄蜂是否会在没有奖励的情况下玩耍。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“They weren’t so interested in the side where the balls couldn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls.(它们对球不能移动的一侧不太感兴趣，但它们经常去有滚动球的一侧。)”可知，与不能滚动的球相比，大黄蜂更喜欢能滚动的球。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Now scientists report bumblebees(大黄蜂) seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play.(现在科学家们报告说，大黄蜂似乎也知道同样的事情，这使大黄蜂成为已知的第一种玩耍的昆虫。)”并结合下文内容可知，本文主要通过一项实验说明大黄蜂会玩球，这使得大黄蜂成为已知的第一种玩耍的昆虫。故选C。 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。 Anyone with a story to tell can write a book, either for their own enjoyment or to publish for all to see. The following are some tips to help you. Understand why you’re writing a book. Before you start writing or even thinking about your book, be honest with yourself about your reasons for writing it. ___16___? Or do you simply have a great story that you want to share with the world? ___17___ There’s no one ideal workspace for every writer. Some prefer a quiet room, while others work best in a coffee shop.

That’s because it’s easy to lose focus if your back aches. Establish daily and weekly writing goals. Instead of hoping to produce ten pages at a time, try setting a goal to write one page each day. Set your writing goal based on your writing speed and any specific deadlines. ___19___ Get feedback often. You might have a group of fellow writers, friends or family members with whom you can share your works in progress.

Break your big idea into manageable pieces F. Do you dream of seeing your name on a book cover G. At the same time, remember to pick a supportive chair 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. G 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要提出了几点关于如何写书的建议。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Before you start writing or even thinking about your book, be honest with yourself about your reasons for writing it.(在你开始写作甚至思考你的书之前，诚实地告诉自己写这本书的原因。)”和后文“Or do you simply have a great story that you want to share with the world?(或者你只是有一个伟大的故事想与世界分享？)”可知，空处应和下一句并列，讲述写书的原因，且应该为疑问句，F项“Do you dream of seeing your name on a book cover(你梦想在书的封面上看到你的名字吗)”符合题意。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据后文“There’s no one ideal workspace for every writer. Some prefer a quiet room, while others work best in a coffee shop. Also, make sure that the place you choose works with your preferred writing medium.(没有一个理想的工作空间适合每个作家。有些人喜欢安静的房间，而另一些人最好在咖啡馆工作。此外，确保你选择的地方适合你喜欢的写作媒介。)”可知，这里讲述的应是如何选择合适的写作场所，B项“Choose a workspace that works for you(选择一个适合你的工作场所)”符合题意。故选B。 【18题详解】 根据前文“If you want to write on a desktop, make sure to have a suitable desk nearby.(如果你想在桌面上写字，一定要在附近有一张合适的桌子。)”和后文“That’s because it’s easy to lose focus if your back aches.(这是因为如果你的背部疼痛，很容易失去注意力。)”可知，上文讲述了要选择桌子，下文讲述了背痛会让你失去注意力，由此可知，空处应补充讲述如何选择让背部舒适的座椅，G项“At the same time, remember to pick a supportive chair(同时，记得选择一把支撑椅)”符合题意。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据本段首句“Establish daily and weekly writing goals.(设定每日及每周的写作目标。)”和空前“Set your writing goal based on your writing speed and any specific deadlines.(根据你的写作速度和任何特定的截止日期设定你的写作目标。)”可知，空处应总结前文，讲述设置完目标后就不要轻易更改，D项“And try not to change it after you’ve set it(设置后尽量不要更改它)”符合题意。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据前文“It is likely that you’ll go through many rounds of feedback and revisions before your book is published.(在你的书出版之前，你很可能会经历多轮的反馈和修订。)”和空后的“it’s all part of the process of writing the best book you can!(这是你尽力写最好的书的过程的一部分！)”可知，在出书之前会有多次反馈和修订，这是打磨作品必经之路，所以空处应是说在这种情况下不要泄气，A项“Don’t get discouraged(不要气馁)”符合题意。故选A。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节, 满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 One of the hardest things about learning is to know how to practice or even what it means to practice.

Recognized 43. the 44. booming 45. inspiration 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了鲁班锁的外交贡献、历史以及对经济发展的帮助。 【36题详解】 考查时态。句意：2023年，为了展示团结和力量，中国前常驻联合国代表张军向联合国安理会成员国赠送了一件礼物：一把鲁班锁。空处在句中充当谓语。根据“In 2023”可知，这里表示过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。主语Zhang Jun和present之间是主谓关系，所以应用主动语态。故填presented。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这需要我们的团结，然后我们才有更多的力量和实力来解决我们面前的所有问题。这里表示目的，应用不定式作目的状语。故填to tackle。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这把锁是通过一种复杂的技术生产的，其中无数的小木块被制作成互锁，而不需要使用钉子。空处引导的是定语从句，先行词为technique，且空处在从句中作地点状语，所以可用where引导。故填where。 【39题详解】 考查介词。句意参考上题。这里表示“不需要使用钉子”，应用without，意为“无，没有”。故填without。 【40题详解】 考查形容词。句意：它以它的发明者鲁班（公元前507-444年）的名字命名，在古代文献中鲁班被认为发明了各种奇妙的机制。空处应用形容词，作定语修饰mechanisms。various意为“各种各样的”。故填various。 【41题详解】 考查名词的数。句意：鲁班锁拼图玩具逐渐发展成为时尚玩具，数百种变体将传统与创新融为一体。空处作主语，前面的Luban lock作定语。puzzle意为“拼图玩具”，为可数名词，这里表示泛指，且后面的谓语为have developed，所以这里应用名词复数。故填puzzles。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：滕州被公认为鲁班工艺的发源地，近年来，滕州一直在推广“鲁班在我家”品牌下的传统木制品。本句的谓语部分是has been promoting，所以空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语Tengzhou和recognize之间是动宾关系，所以应用过去分词，作状语。recognize...as...意为“将……认为……”首字母大写。故填Recognized。 【43题详解】 考查冠词。句意参考上题。根据brand “Lu Ban in My Home”可知，这里表示特指，应加定冠词the。故填the。 【44题详解】 考查形容词。句意：一个特别项目也在帮助生产这些产品的公司，迅速将鲁班锁业变成一个蓬勃发展的行业。空处应用形容词作定语，修饰business。booming意为“迅速发展的”。故填booming。 45题详解】 考查名词。句意：鲁班文化遗产以其丰富的文化内涵，不仅成为传统和创新的象征，也是经济增长和文化交流的灵感源泉。空处作宾语，应用名词。inspiration意为“灵感”，为不可数名词。故填inspiration。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华, 上周六你参加了学校举行的以“保护海洋”为主题的创意作品大赛。请你给英国朋友 Ryan 写一封邮件分享这次经历, 内容包括: 1. 参赛过程（包括你的参赛作品等）； 2. 你的感受。 注意: 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear Ryan, I’m writing to share with you our school’s creative work competition I participated in last Saturday. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Ryan, I’m writing to share with you our school’s creative work competition I participated in last Saturday.

It was very late, and our phones happened to be dead. The country roads seemed to be going on forever, and the farther we travelled, the worse it seemed to get. We couldn’t find Pembroke Road and it looked like we were lost. We became upset and anxious. Finally, we came upon a big truck stop. We pulled in for directions. Karl and Carol were really tired, so I got out of the truck to do the talking. “Can anyone here help me find Pembroke Road?” I asked. A very tired waitress looked up and said, “Lady, I’m sorry, I don’t know.” Since she wasn’t helpful, I looked around at the customers. There were two of the toughest men that I had ever seen in my life. They were tall and had lots of muscle, with square faces and dark mustaches (胡子), and they wore thick chains and black coats. I immediately thought of my friends in the truck and what these men might do to us. It seemed that they were not good people at all. “We know where you’re going, madam,” one of the men said. “We can take you there. We know the way well.” Before I could say no, they got up off the chairs, paid the bill, and were outside on their motorcycles, gesturing, “Follow us!” “They’re taking us to a lonely spot, and that will be the end,” Carol whispered. I didn’t know what to do. I hesitated to look at Karl, who was more calm when facing troubles. 注意: 1, 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Karl thought for a moment, nodded to us to signal “Don’t worry” and then followed the motorcycle riders. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Smiling, one motorcycle rider pointed at a sign, and I found it read Pembroke Road. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Karl thought for a moment, nodded to us to signal “Don’t worry” and then followed the motorcycle riders. With a deep breath, I tried to calm my racing heart as Carol and I exchanged worried glances before reluctantly getting back into the truck. We crept after the bikers, our headlights illuminating the dark country road ahead. Every mile that passed felt like an eternity, but Karl’s calmness somehow reassured us. We trusted his judgment and kept driving, wondering if our luck had finally turned for the better. Smiling, one motorcycle rider pointed at a sign, and I found it read Pembroke Road. Relief washed over us like a warm wave. We had made it! With a sense of gratitude and amazement, we pulled up beside the bikers. They removed their helmets, revealing friendly faces beneath their tough appearances. “Sorry for scaring you,” one of them chuckled. “We saw you were lost and needed help. Just trying to make sure you got there safely.” Carol and I exchanged relieved smiles, feeling foolish for our initial fears. As we drove away, grateful for the unlikely heroes, we realized that not everyone who looked intimidating was necessarily dangerous. That night, we learned a valuable lesson about judging by appearances. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。作者和朋友Carol、Karl一起开卡车去拜访另一个朋友，但路上却迷路了。两个看着很粗野的男子主动提出帮他们找路，但作者和Carol有点担心自己的安全，但Karl却建议大家跟着这两名男子走。后来者两名男子成功将作者几人带到了地方，作者他们非常感激，也明白了不要以貌取人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Karl想了一会儿，向我们点点头示意“别担心”，然后跟着摩托车手走了。”可知，第一段可以描述作者三人最终跟着骑摩托车的两人去找路。 ②由第二段首句内容“一位摩托车手微笑着指着一个标志，我发现上面写着彭布罗克路。”可知，第二段可以描述这两个骑摩托车的人成功将作者他们带到了地方，作者他们非常感激，也明白了不要以貌取人。 2.续写线索：Karl示意作者和Carol放心——作者他们开车跟着摩托车手一起走——找到了路——心怀感激——明白不要以貌取人的道理 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ①照亮：illuminate/light up/brighten ②相信：trust/believe ③确保：make sure/guarantee 情绪类 ①担心的：worried/concerned ②不情愿地：reluctantly/unwillingly ③感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】With a deep breath, I tried to calm my racing heart as Carol and I exchanged worried glances before reluctantly getting back into the truck.(使用了try to do…结构、现在分词作前置定语、as引导时间状语从句、动名词短语作宾语) 【高分句型2】We trusted his judgment and kept driving, wondering if our luck had finally turned for the better.

Each year, TIME magazine makes a list of the World’s Greatest Places, which is provided by our readers. They will take us from cities to wilderness, and from tiny villages to faraway islands. Here are some of the best ones. Culture Trip Rapa Nui is an island in the Pacific Ocean. It’s also known as Easter Island. It’s famous for the massive and mysterious sculptures(雕像) made by the Rapa Nui people, who arrived about 1,200 years ago. The spirit of Hotu Matu’a, their early king, is said to have become a sea turtle. —By Johanna Read Lively Spot The Galápagos Islands are located off the coast of Ecuador in South America. They are some of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Recently marine-life protections were expanded in the area, limiting fishing and cresting safe paths for animals to travel through. —By Karen Catchpole Ancient Past Alentejo is a rural part of Portugal in Europe. It is covered with forests and olive groves. There are ancient cities, too. A museum in Estremoz shows off traditional tiles. In Esperanca, hikers can see eagles and vultures, plus 5,000-year-old cave paintings. —By Robin Catalano Bike It! Bogotá is the capital of Colombia in South America.

B Ekaterina Sky, a wildlife conservation artist, inspires people to reconnect with nature and animals through her work. Her love for animals led her to become a vegan(素食者), and she uses art as a creative outlet to promote kindness to all life. The fact that her work carries such an important message for the planet makes her paintings even more beautiful and moving. “I can feel the suffering of our planet and the pain that is being caused to animals,” she said. “My mission is to speak up for those who can’t.” Ekaterina began her art journey at The School of Fine Arts in Yaroslavl, Russia. There, she completed a fine arts program, which gave her the background she needed to become a conservation artist. She also received a scholarship to The Art School of Museum of Tel-Aviv. There, she expanded upon her knowledge and skills, learning to create her own unique style. Recently, Ekaterina went on a tour to different countries worldwide, painting murals(壁画) of various endangered species. With each mural, she made the audience look directly into the animals’ eyes. This helps them connect more with the animals and perhaps helps them realize their interconnectedness with the animals. “Each animal was colorful to highlight their uniqueness and individuality,” Ekaterina said. Her main goal is to connect people with animals, even in the most crowded urban places. We have greatly lost our connection to Mother Earth and all the creatures who inhabit it. Ekaterina’s work can help raise awareness about the fact that we all have to coexist here. She says our urban lifestyles make us forget about all the endangered species that we can help protect by making different choices. “As I believe, we connect through our eyes, which are windows into our soul, and I believe that when we get to meet someone’s soul, we don’t have a heart to hurt them,” Ekaterina said. 4. What inspires Ekaterina Sky to create art? A. Her childhood. B. Her love for animals. C. Her scholarships. D. Her travels. 5. What is the focus of paragraph 3? A. Ekaterina’s educational background in art. B. The achievements of Ekaterina’s unique artistic style. C. The reasons why Ekaterina wanted to be a conservation artist. D. The impact of Ekaterina’s art on wildlife conservation efforts. 6. How does Ekaterina Sky’s artwork contribute to wildlife conservation? A. By raising funds. B. By providing scientific data. C. By increasing public awareness. D. By influencing the local policy. 7. What can we learn from Ekaterina’s words in the last paragraph? A. Art doesn’t influence people’s feelings. B. Urban life helps protect endangered species. C. She seeks to expose environmental harm. D. She trusts our eyes link us to animals through art. C Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa. Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project. Through the fertile (肥沃的) area in south Mozambique, the Limpopo River is flowing into the Indian Ocean in the Xai-Xai district. Benefiting from the vast farmland, a suitable climate, enough water and the support from China, the project is creating a bright future for the people here. Through cooperative planting methods, Wanbao is helping the local farmers develop successful rice plantations. It not only provides seeds, farm chemicals and fertilizers, but also does land leveling and water pumping (抽水). To have good harvests, farmers work hard and learn from the Chinese. Now the local farmers’ love for farming is growing and they are getting richer and richer. “I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare (公顷) of land,” says a mother of five children. “With the money, I have improved my life a lot. I have built my house and my children are going to school.” An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice. He is cultivating crops over 40 hectares. “Thanks to the project, both my children and grandchildren are living a stable life. Now I go to the fields to support the other farmers with teaching. I hope Wanbao will extend the growing areas to other corners of the county in the future to help fight poverty,” he says. 8. Why does the author mention “ni hao” in the first paragraph? A. To show the popularity of the project in Mozambique. B. To indicate farmers’ Chinese language skills. C. To prove the importance of Chinese in Mozambique. D. To suggest Chinese is a requirement for working on the farm. 9. What can we know about the Wanbao project? A. It plants trees in urban areas. B. It teaches locals Chinese. C. It improves the local climate. D. It offers farming technologies for locals. 10. What does the underlined word “cultivating” in the last paragraph mean? A. Preparing. B. Growing. C. Selling. D. Pulling. 11. In which section of a website is the text likely to be found? A. Travel. B. Education. C. Agriculture. D. Art. D Kids everywhere love to play. And they know that a ball is a perfect thing to play with. Now scientists report bumblebees (大黄蜂) seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play. Lots of animals play: But the behavior is best known in mammals (哺乳动物) and birds. For many animals, playing is often seen as a kind of practice for things they’ll have to deal with in later life. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing. Dr. Lars Chittka did an earlier experiment, where he trained bumblebees to roll balls into a goal for food. He noticed some bees were rolling balls even when they weren’t rewarded. He wondered whether they were playing for rewards or not. To test the idea, he with other scientists set up a new experiment. First, they marked 45 young bumblebees, both male and female, between one and 23 days old. Then they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, small colored wooden balls were placed. On one side of the path, the balls couldn’t move. On the other side, the balls could roll around. For three hours, a day over 14 days, the scientists opened the pathway. The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food, but they left anyway. They weren’t so interested in the side where the balls couldn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls. Grabbing the balls with their legs, the bumblebees would beat their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 marked bumblebees did this 910 times during the experiment. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The scientists found the younger bumblebees spent more time rolling balls, and that males seemed more likely to play than females. The scientists say it’s not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it. But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings. 12. What is the common view about animals’ playing behavior? A. A form of fight. B. A form of training. C. A form of labor. D. A form of performance. 13. Why did Dr. Lars Chittka conduct the new experiment? A. To train bumblebees to play with balls. B. To figure out bumblebees’ feeding style. C. To explore if bumblebees play without a reward. D. To observe how bees interact with different objects: 14. What did the scientists find during the experiment? A. Bumblebees only played with balls when food was involved. B. Female bumblebees were more interested in playing than males. C. Older bumblebees spent more time rolling balls than younger ones. D. Bumblebees preferred balls that could roll to those that couldn’t. 15 What is the main idea of the text? A. The purpose of insects playing is to prepare for life. B. Dr. Lars Chittka discovered a new way to train bees. C. Bumblebees are the first insects known to play. D. Playing is common among mammals and birds. 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。 Anyone with a story to tell can write a book, either for their own enjoyment or to publish for all to see.

It was very late, and our phones happened to be dead. The country roads seemed to be going on forever, and the farther we travelled, the worse it seemed to get. We couldn’t find Pembroke Road and it looked like we were lost. We became upset and anxious. Finally, we came upon a big truck stop. We pulled in for directions. Karl and Carol were really tired, so I got out of the truck to do the talking. “Can anyone here help me find Pembroke Road?” I asked. A very tired waitress looked up and said, “Lady, I’m sorry, I don’t know.” Since she wasn’t helpful, I looked around at the customers. There were two of the toughest men that I had ever seen in my life. They were tall and had lots of muscle, with square faces and dark mustaches (胡子), and they wore thick chains and black coats. I immediately thought of my friends in the truck and what these men might do to us. It seemed that they were not good people at all. “We know where you’re going, madam,” one of the men said. “We can take you there. We know the way well.” Before I could say no, they got up off the chairs, paid the bill, and were outside on their motorcycles, gesturing, “Follow us!” “They’re taking us to a lonely spot, and that will be the end,” Carol whispered. I didn’t know what to do. I hesitated to look at Karl, who was more calm when facing troubles. 注意: 1, 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Karl thought for a moment, nodded to us to signal “Don’t worry” and then followed the motorcycle riders. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Smiling, one motorcycle rider pointed at a sign, and I found it read Pembroke Road. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1.
