The mainland boasts (拥有)well-maintained routes, while on the country’s islands you’ll find ancient paths dating back to Byzantine times connecting sleepy villages with beautiful sandy coves (小海湾). Here’s our pick of Greece’s best hikes.  Samaria Gorge(峡谷), Crete 16 kilometers(10 miles), 4 hours Hiking the 16-kilometer Samaria Gorge is considered one of Crete’s must-do experiences, which is why you’ll rarely be without company. Nevertheless, there’s an undeniable raw beauty to Samaria, where vertical (垂直的) walls soar up to 500 meters and are just 3.5 meters apart at the narrowest point (150 meters at the broadest). The hike begins at 1,230 meters at Xyloskalo just south of Omalos and ends in the coastal village of Agia Roumeli. It’s especially scenic in April and May, when wildflowers brighten the route.  Mt Ohi summit hike, Evia 8 kilometers(5 miles), 3 to 4 hours The summit of Mt Ohi (Profitis Ilias; 1,398 m), lesser-visited Evia’s third-highest peak, is crowned by mysterious ancient dragon houses: 7th century BC architecture, made from rocks weighing several tons. From Myli, it’s an 8-kilometer hike to the summit (three to four hours). It’s possible to stay overnight at the 1,000-meter-high refuge then hike up Mt Ohi to catch the sunrise(30 minutes), which makes for a magical experience. Contact South Evia Tours or Evia Adventure Tours for details.  Delphi to Kirra Walk, Central Greece 14 kilometers (9 miles), 3 to 4 hours This 14-kilometer downhill hike follows a centuries-old pathway from historic Delphi to the ancient port of Kirra, just east of modern Itea on the southern coast of mainland Greece. The hike starts from the E4 long-distance starting point 100 meters east of the Hotel Acropole. Skirting the village of Crissa, it goes to the gulf (海湾) through Greece’s largest olive garden. After your three-to-four-hour hike, and lunch or a swim, you can return to Delphi by bus (around 2 euros).  Hike to the Tomb of Kleobolus, Rhodes 5 kilometers(3 miles), 2 hours An easy, enjoyable 5-kilometer(two-hour)round-trip hike escapes Lindos to reach the so-called Tomb of Kleobolus. Starting alongside Car Park 1 above the main beach, the route ends at a rocky hill topped by a circular tomb actually built during the 2nd century BC, long after Kleobolus ruled Rhodes. 1. What is the raw beauty of Samaria? A. High and narrow gorges. B. Magical sunset. C. Wildflowers throughout the year. D. Mysterious large rocks. 2. What will visitors see during the Mt Ohi summit hike, Evia? A. Ancient buildings. B. Evia’s highest peak. C. A circular tomb. D. Greece’s largest olive garden. 3. What can we learn about the Delphi to Kirra Walk? A. It lets visitors experience the modern world of Greece. B. Visitors are recommended to get back to Delphi by ship. C. The route connects two places with a long history. D. It is a challenging route through a rocky hill. 【答案】1. A 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了希腊四个适合徒步旅行的旅游景点和路线。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Samaria Gorge(峡谷), Crete部分中“Nevertheless, there’s an undeniable raw beauty to Samaria, where vertical (垂直的) walls soar up to 500 meters and are just 3.5 meters apart at the narrowest point(150 meters at the broadest). (然而，撒玛利亚有一种不可否认的原始之美，那里的垂直墙壁高达500米，最窄的地方只有3.5米(最宽的地方有150米)。)”可知，撒玛利亚有一种不可否认的原始之美即又高又窄的峡谷。故选A。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据Mt Ohi summit hike, Evia部分中“The summit of Mt Ohi (Profitis Ilias; 1,398 m), lesser-visited Evia’s third-highest peak, is crowned by mysterious ancient dragon houses: 7th century BC architecture, made from rocks weighing several tons. (Ohi山的顶峰(Profittis Ilias—1398米高，是埃维亚的第三高峰，游客较少，被神秘的古代龙屋所覆盖：公元前7世纪的建筑，由重达数吨的岩石制成。)”可知，此处有被神秘的古代龙屋所覆盖：公元前7世纪的建筑，由重达数吨的岩石制成。故对古代建筑感兴趣的游客们可以选在此处徒步旅行。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Delphi to Kirra Walk, Central Greece部分中“This 14-kilometer downhill hike follows a centuries-old pathway from historic Delphi to the ancient port of Kirra, just east of modern Itea on the southern coast of mainland Greece. (这条14公里的下坡徒步旅行沿着一条数百年历史的小路，从历史悠久的德尔菲到古老的港口基拉，就在希腊大陆南部海岸的现代伊特亚以东。)”可知，这条路线连接了两个历史悠久的地方即历史悠久的德尔菲到古老的港口基拉。故选C。 （ B ） In March, 2021, the much-loved children’s author Beverly Cleary passed away at age 104. Cleary’s writing changed the world of children’s books by showing that stories about the lives of ordinary kids could be interesting, funny, and popular. Cleary was born in 1916. As a child, she had trouble learning to read. Even after she learned to love reading, she felt like the people she was reading about didn’t have much to do with her and her life, which were unattractive to her. She wanted to read funny books about children like herself. When she grew up, Cleary realized there weren’t many books about ordinary kids. So she set out to write them at age 30 and tried to get kids hooked on reading since she found they didn’t show much interest in books. Cleary’s first book, Henry Huggins, came out in 1950.It tells the story of a boy and the dog that he takes in. Soon Cleary wrote more books about Henry Huggins and the other children in his neighborhood. Ramona Quimby, also known as Ramona the Pest, became Cleary’s best known book. The Mouse and the Motorcycle tells the exciting story of a motorcycle-riding mouse and his friendship with a young boy. But that sort of fantasy was unusual for Cleary, who usually focused on real life. In several books, the parents have money trouble or are unhappy with their jobs. Dear Mr. Henshaw tells the story of a boy dealing with his parents’ breaking-off. Cleary had kept writing for 53 years, creating over 40 books in all. She won almost every award there was for children’s books, including the Newbery Medal and the National Book Award. Though Cleary is no longer with us, her characters and stories will beloved and shared for years to come. 4. How did Cleary find the books she read as a kid? A. Difficult. B. Expensive. C. Frightening. D. Boring. 5. What does the underlined part “hooked on” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. To dream of. B. To learn from. C. To deeply enjoy. D. To easily provide. 6. Which of the following is a fantasy? A. Dear Mr. Henshaw. B. The Mouse and the Motorcycle. C. Henry Huggins. D. Ramona the Pest. 7. How old was Cleary when she stopped writing? A. About 53. B. About 63. C. About 73. D. About 83. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了儿童作家贝弗莉·克利里的生平和创作的主要书籍，她通过写普通孩童的故事改变了儿童故事书的世界。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Even after she learned to love reading, she felt like the people she was reading about didn’t have much to do with her and her life, which were unattractive to her.(即使在她学会了热爱阅读之后，她也觉得她所阅读的人与她和她的生活没有太大关系，这对她来说没有吸引力。)”可知，在孩童时期，她觉得自己读的那些书没有吸引力，很无聊。故选D。 【5题详解】 短语猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“So she set out to write them at age 30(因此，她在 30 岁时开始写这些作品)”和“since she found they didn’t show much interest in books(因为她发现他们对书籍没有太大兴趣)”可知，她发现孩子们对书籍不太感兴趣，所以她开始写关于普通孩子的书，试图让这些孩子们对阅读感兴趣，由此可推测出，hooked on意为“对……着迷”，与C项“深深地喜欢”意思最接近。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The Mouse and the Motorcycle tells the exciting story of a motorcycle-riding mouse and his friendship with a young boy. But that sort of fantasy was unusual for Cleary, who usually focused on real life.(《老鼠和摩托车》讲述了一个骑摩托车的老鼠和他与一个小男孩的友谊的激动人心的故事。但这种幻想作品对克利里来说是不寻常的，她通常专注于现实生活。)”可知，《老鼠和摩托车》是一部幻想作品。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“she set out to write them at age 30(她在 30 岁时开始写这些作品)”和最后一段中的“Cleary had kept writing for 53 years(克利里坚持写作了53年)”可知，克利里在30岁时开始写作，坚持写作53年，由此可知，她在大约83岁的时候停止写作。故选D。 （ C ） In Scotland, 600, 000 tonnes of food are thrown away every year. This amount of food, which could feed about 1.2 billion poor people, is almost a third of household (家庭的) waste. And food waste isn’t just a big problem in Scotland. Money, time, and resources are often wasted by throwing away good food. It also causes very harmful greenhouse gas, which is perilous to the planet. In the production stage, some foods do not enter the food chain for many reasons. Supermarkets usually care about the quality of food from farms. They often refuse strange-looking and unusual y sized produce. However, they seem to forget that it is a most impossible to grow the perfect produce. Food waste at the consumption stage includes food going out of date and leftovers because of too much food. In households, even mostly fresh fruit and vegetables are thrown away. In order to reduce food waste, here is what we can do: Understand the terms “use by” and “best before” dates. “Use by” dates are there for your safety. It is dangerous to eat food after the use-by date and doing so risks your health. “Best before” dates tell you how long the food will beat its best quality. Once the food passes the date, it isn’t necessarily bad, but you should still check, just to be sure. Every time you go shop pig and bring back new food, put them at the back of your fridge and bring the food that will expire (到期) soon closer to the front. That way, you know what needs to be eaten first. If you have any food that will expire soon, give it to charity if you aren’t going to cat it. They will really appreciate the food you have given. 8. What can we infer from Paragraph 1? A. Food waste is the biggest part of household waste. B. Food waste is a common problem. C. People in Scotland waste the most food. D. Household waste hasn’t drawn much attention. 9. What does the underlined word “perilous” in Paragraph 2mean? A. Valuable. B. Unnecessary. C. Different. D. Dangerous. 10. What should people do to reduce food waste according to the text? A. Pick usually sized produce. B. Avoid buying too much food at a time. C. Order produce directly from farmers. D. Improve the quality of farm produce. 11. What advice does the author offer to people? A. Buy food that will expire soon to reduce waste. B. Give food that has passed its use-by date to charity. C. Throw away food that passes the best-before date. D. Place food carefully according to its expiry date. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何减少食物浪费提出了一些建议。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In Scotland, 600, 000 tonnes of food are thrown away every year. This amount of food, which could feed about 1.2 billion poor people, is almost a third of household (家庭的) waste.(在苏格兰，每年有60万吨食物被扔掉。这些食物可以养活大约12亿贫困人口，几乎是家庭垃圾的三分之一。)”可推知，食物浪费是一个普遍的问题。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Money, time, and resources are often wasted by throwing away good food. It also causes very harmful greenhouse gas(金钱、时间和资源常常被浪费在扔掉好的食物上。它还会产生非常有害的温室气体)”可知，这些有害的温室气体对地球应该是危险的，所以可推测画线词是“危险的”意思，和dangerous意思相近。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Food waste at the consumption stage includes food going out of date and leftovers because of too much food. In households, even mostly fresh fruit and vegetables are thrown away.(消费阶段的食物浪费包括食物过期和因食物过多而留下的剩菜。在家庭中，甚至大多数新鲜的水果和蔬菜都被扔掉了。)”可知，为了避免食物浪费，要避免一次买太多的食物。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Every time you go shop pig and bring back new food, put them at the back of your fridge and bring the food that will expire (到期) soon closer to the front.(每次你去商店买新的食物，把它们放在冰箱的后面，把即将过期的食物放在靠近前面的地方。)”可知，作者建议根据食物的保质期小心放置食物。故选D。 （ D ） A major tech company has expanded options for keeping personal information from online searches. The company stated earlier this week that it would allow people to request the removal of more types of content, such as personal contact information like phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses, from search results. The new policy also permits the removal of other information that may pose a risk for identity theft, such as confidential (机密的) login accounts. In a statement, the company said that open access to information is vital. “But so is empowering (授权) people with the tools they need to protect themselves and keep their sensitive, personally identifiable information private,” the statement continued. “Privacy and online safety go hand in hand. And when you’re using the Internet, it’s important to have control over how your sensitive, personally identifiable information can be found.” Previously, the company had allowed people to request the removal of highly personal content that could cause direct harm. This included information such as bank account or credit card numbers that could be used for fraud (欺诈). “However, as information increasingly appears in unexpected places and is used in new ways, policies need to evolve,” the company said. Having personal contact information openly available online can also pose a threat, and the company reported receiving requests to remove such content as well. It states that when it receives such requests, it will review all the content on the web page to avoid limiting the availability of useful information or content on public record on government or other official websites. “It’s important to remember that removing content from our search results won’t remove it from the Internet, which is why you may wish to contact the hosting site directly, if you’re comfortable doing so,” the company advised. 12. What can we learn from the company’s statement? A. Keeping online private information safe is a must. B. Improving the net environment for citizens is a dream. C. The exposure of public information causes a discussion. D. Making a balanced approach to online safety is a fashion. 13. Why does the company review web page content before removing personal information? A. To obey data privacy laws. B. To take down the entire website. C. To increase online personal information. D. To avoid removing useful or public information. 14. What is the main idea of the text? A. Personal information can be removed from online searches. B. Tech companies can find more images and information. C. Privacy risks arise from publishing private information. D. Tech companies know what you’ve done over the years. 15. What is the text likely to be? A. A research paper on online privacy. B. A new approach to using a search engine. C An advertisement for a data privacy service. D. A news report about privacy protection. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了一家大型科技公司扩展了从在线搜索中删除个人信息的选项，允许人们请求删除更多类型的内容，如个人联系信息和可能导致身份盗窃的其他信息。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中声明的内容“But so is empowering (授权) people with the tools they need to protect themselves and keep their sensitive, personally identifiable information private (但赋予人们保护自己所需的工具，并将他们的敏感、个人身份信息保密，也是如此)”和“Privacy and online safety go hand in hand. And when you’re using the Internet, it’s important to have control over how your sensitive, personally identifiable information can be found. (隐私和网络安全是相辅相成的。当你使用互联网时，控制如何找到你的敏感、个人身份信息非常重要)”可知，我们可以从公司的声明中了解到保护在线私人信息安全是必须的。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由最后一段中“It states that when it receives such requests, it will review all the content on the web page to avoid limiting the availability of useful information or content on public record on government or other official websites. (它表示，当收到此类请求时，它将审查网页上的所有内容，以避免限制政府或其他官方网站上公共记录中有用信息或内容的可用性)”可知，公司在删除个人信息前会审查网页内容，以避免删除有用或公共信息。故选D项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。由第一段“A major tech company has expanded options for keeping personal information from online searches. The company stated earlier this week that it would allow people to request the removal of more types of content, such as personal contact information like phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses, from search results. The new policy also permits the removal of other information that may pose a risk for identity theft, such as confidential (机密的) login accounts. (一家大型科技公司扩大了保护个人信息免受在线搜索的选项。该公司本周早些时候表示，它将允许人们要求从搜索结果中删除更多类型的内容，如电话号码、电子邮件地址和物理地址等个人联系信息。新政策还允许删除可能构成身份盗用风险的其他信息，如机密登录帐户)”和其他段落可知，文章主要讲述了一家大型科技公司扩展了从在线搜索中删除个人信息的选项，允许人们请求删除更多类型的内容，如个人联系信息和可能导致身份盗窃的其他信息，A项“个人信息可以从在线搜索中删除”符合文意。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中“A major tech company has expanded options for keeping personal information from online searches. The company stated earlier this week that it would allow people to request the removal of more types of content, such as personal contact information like phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses, from search results.

One study was conducted in the city of Birmingham, Alabama. Researchers found that most participants’ mood and well-being improved significantly when they spent time in urban parks, even though the average visit was only around half an hour. ____16____ For example, scientists in the United Kingdom studied the impact of the “30 Days Wild” campaign. It challenged people to interact with nature for 30 days by enjoying earthy activities like feeding birds and planting flowers. Participants were measurably happier and healthier throughout the challenge... and for months afterwards, too. ____17____ How does nature boost people’s happiness? Scientists say that spending time in natural settings reduces stress and anxiety, which benefits mental and physical health. Research shows our brains are more relaxed in natural settings. To most people, it’s not news that nature can be calming. But multiple studies have found that spending time in nature also has some more surprising benefits, like improving creativity and problem-solving. ____18____ Another found that exposure to nature helped people score better on tests. That’s more proof that going outside is a smart move! What accounts for the connection with cognition and creativity? It could be that a good dose of nature acts as a cure to information overload. Everyday life involves a lot of multitasking. Some scientists theorize that spending time in nature enables our brains to rest and recover from mental tiredness. ____19____ Naturally, scientific studies don’t cover everything that’s great about the great outdoors. ____20____ From recreation and exercise to happiness and creativity, there are lots of upsides to getting outside. A. What’s more, the lift people get from nature is long lasting. B. So, kicking back in a park is a bit like treating your mind to restful mini vacation. C. Lots of people enjoy fun activities outside, like swimming, riding bikes, or climbing trees. D. One study revealed that people were better at figuring out puzzles after a four-day camping trip. E. When the only light you’ve seen all day is the glow of a screen, it might be a good idea to switch it off. F. According to many scientific studies, there’s a good chance it’ll make you happier, healthier, and more creative. G. This means that whether you’re studying or playing video games, heading outside to give your brain a break might help you get to the next level. 【答案】16. A 17. B 18. D 19. G 20.

An organism’s shape, pattern, color or even movement are all the things that can provide camouflage. Camouflage allows an organism to hide in plain sight, whether a predator (捕食者)___37___ prey. A leopard’s fur blends into the leaf shadows when it lies on a branch. That helps this predator attack unsuspecting prey. Prey can also benefit ___38___ camouflage. A stick insect looks, and even moves, like a dry stick, ___39___ may prevent it from becoming someone’s lunch. Plants use camouflage, too. For example, a plant ___40___ (call) Fritillaria delavayi has developed its drab coloring in ___41___ (respond) to humans collecting it. The plant ___42___ (list) in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species for many years. For some species, camouflage ___43___ (be) more than colors and patterns. The flat-tail horned lizard flattens its body against the sand. The lizard’s unique body shape lacks obvious angles. That means the desert sun casts no shadows that give away its presence. Some organisms can even alter their appearance in real time. The panther chameleon needs only a minute or two to color-shift ___44___ (match) nearby surfaces. Humans make use of camouflaged clothing, too. The most common ___45___ (apply) appears on military or hunting gear. 【答案】36. being seen 37. or 38. from 39. which 40. called 41. response 42. has been listed 43. is 44. to match 45. application 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了伪装在自然界中是如何运用的，并且如何帮助动物们生存的。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：伪装是一种让生物融入周围环境并避免被发现的方式。根据avoid可知，avoid后跟动名词作宾语构成avoid doing sth，又因为see和organism之间是被动关系，所以此处用动名词的被动语态形式作宾语，表示避免“被发现”。故填being seen。 【37题详解】 考查连词。句意：伪装可以让生物隐藏在显眼的地方，无论是捕食者还是猎物。根据上文的 whether可知，此处用连词or构成固定搭配whether…or表示“无论是……还是……”。故填or。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：猎物也能从伪装中获益。根据空格前的benefit可知，此处用介词from构成固定搭配benefit from表示“从中受益”故填from。 【39题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：竹节虫看起来，甚至行动起来都像一根干木棍，这可能会阻止它成为别人的午餐。因为此处是非限定性定语从句，先行词是整个主句，指物，且从句中缺少主语，所以用关系代词which来引导。故填which。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，一种名为贝母的植物因人类采集而呈现出单调的颜色。分析句式结构可知，此处用非谓语动词作后置定语，又因为call和plant之间是被动关系，所以用提示词的过去分词形式作后置定语。故填called。 【41题详解】 考查名词。句意：同上。根据提示词和空格前的in可知，此处用提示词的名词形式response构成固定短语in response to表示“作为对某事物或某情况的回应或反应”。故填response。 【42题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：这种植物多年来一直被列入世界自然保护联盟濒危物种红色名录。根据下文的for many years可知，本句的时态用现在完成时表示动作的持续，因为list和主语之间是被动关系，所以用现在完成时的被动语态，又因为主语是第三人称单数，所以助动词用has。故填has been listed。 【43题详解】 考查主谓一致。句意：对某些物种来说，伪装不仅仅是颜色和图案。根据下文的flattens可知，本句的时态为一般现在时，又因为本句的主语是第三人称单数，所以be动词用is。故填is。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：黑豹变色龙只需要一两分钟的时间就能改变颜色来匹配附近的表面。分析句式结构可知，此处用动词不定式作状语，表示将要发生的动作。故填to match。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：最常见的应用出现在军用或狩猎装备上。因为空格处是主语的位置，所以此处用提示词的名词形式application作主语，又因为谓语动词appears是第三人称单数形式，所以主语用名词单数。故填application。 第四部分 书面表达 （满分40分） 第一节 满分15分 46. 你校英文报正在组织以“My Best Friend”为题的作文竞赛，请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1. 介绍你的朋友； 2. 你们之间的故事； 3. 你对他/她的感激之情。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My Best Friend ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： My Best Friend My best friend is Li Jun, a bright and kind-hearted person.

The color of the sky was changing, first light gray, then dark gray, and finally dark and dense. The wind was blowing heavily, and the trees were swaying in the strong wind. It began to rain cats and dogs. Soon, the road was filled with puddles from the rain. On such a stormy afternoon, my mother took my five­year­old brother, Christopher, and me to a new big toy store she had read about in the newspaper. “So many toys，” the advertisement had shouted in full and flashy color, “that we had to get a huge warehouse to fit them all！” Christopher and I couldn't have been more excited. We ran across the parking lot, through the cold and biting rain, as fast as our little legs could carry us. We left our mother outside to battle with the frustrating umbrella, which never worked when she wanted it to. “Christine! Take care of your young brother！” Mother shouted at the top of her voice. “Christine! I'm going to find the Lego section (乐高积木区)! There's a new pirate ship I want, and I have four dollars! Maybe I can buy it！” Christopher exclaimed and ran off excitedly. I only half heard him. I took a right turn and, to my wide­eyed delight, found myself in the midst of the Barbie (芭比) World. I was studying a Barbie and doing some simple math in my head when suddenly an earthshaking clap of thunder roared from the storm outside. I jumped at the noise, dropping the doll to the floor. The lights flickered (闪烁) once and died, covering everything in a blanket of blackness. Thunder continued to shake the sky and lightning illuminated the store for seconds, casting frightening shadows on my mind. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1： “Oh no，” I thought, “Where's Christopher？” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： “Christine, I'm here.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1： “Oh no，” I thought, “Where's Christopher？” Scared and frozen on the spot, I felt the need to see, hug my brother and make sure he was all right. My stomach twisted. I ran up and down the aisles in the dark, panic filling my small chest and making it difficult to breathe. I knocked into displays of candies and tripped over toys, while calling my brother's name like crazy. Anxious as I was, I could not find him. Tears of frustration and fear trickled down my face, but I continued to run. Paragraph 2： “Christine, I'm here.” Excitement took my breath away — there in the Lego aisle I found Christopher. He was standing alone, perfectly still, next to the pirate ship set. I began to cry in relief, throwing my arms around him and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back, saying, “I knew if I waited here, Christine, you would be able to find me.” Then, I took his hand in mine and we went to look for our mother, who must be desperately searching the store for us. 【解析】 【分析】根据所给短文和段首句，续写两段，词数要求为150词左右。 【详解】续写短文需要先理清所给短文内容，掌握文章脉络，可以先逐段总结大意： 第一段：交代时间和天气背景，周六下午，大雨滂沱。 第二段：交代人物和事件，作者的母亲带她和五岁的弟弟去一家玩具店。 第三段：兴奋的姐弟俩先于母亲之前冲进了商店，母亲在后面大喊让作者照顾好弟弟。 第四段：弟弟跑去了乐高积木区，作者还没来得及赶上去就被芭比娃娃给吸引住了。 第五段：沉迷于芭比娃娃的作者被外面的闪电吓到了，让她想起可怕的事情。 根据各段大意可知，这是一篇记叙文，已经将主干部分交代清楚，接下来应该按照故事的脉络继续发展下去，续写的第一段开头为：“噢不，”我想到，“Christopher哪儿去了？”也就是作者发现自己的弟弟不见了故事产生了悬念，所以该段的续写可以考虑从作者心情焦急、四处寻找弟弟这一方面去描写，其中可以参照原文的风格，加入一些细节描写和心理描写，制造悬念越紧张越好；而续写的第二段开头为：“Christine，我在这儿呢。”相当于是悬念后的一个反转，作者的弟弟并没有丢，所以该段的续写可以考虑从作者心情上的转变以及找到弟弟后两人的行动上去展开。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度 第一学期 高二年级英语学科第一次月考（ 外研版 ） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 1.

The mainland boasts (拥有)well-maintained routes, while on the country’s islands you’ll find ancient paths dating back to Byzantine times connecting sleepy villages with beautiful sandy coves (小海湾). Here’s our pick of Greece’s best hikes.  Samaria Gorge(峡谷), Crete 16 kilometers(10 miles), 4 hours Hiking the 16-kilometer Samaria Gorge is considered one of Crete’s must-do experiences, which is why you’ll rarely be without company. Nevertheless, there’s an undeniable raw beauty to Samaria, where vertical (垂直的) walls soar up to 500 meters and are just 3.5 meters apart at the narrowest point (150 meters at the broadest). The hike begins at 1,230 meters at Xyloskalo just south of Omalos and ends in the coastal village of Agia Roumeli. It’s especially scenic in April and May, when wildflowers brighten the route.  Mt Ohi summit hike, Evia 8 kilometers(5 miles), 3 to 4 hours The summit of Mt Ohi (Profitis Ilias; 1,398 m), lesser-visited Evia’s third-highest peak, is crowned by mysterious ancient dragon houses: 7th century BC architecture, made from rocks weighing several tons. From Myli, it’s an 8-kilometer hike to the summit (three to four hours). It’s possible to stay overnight at the 1,000-meter-high refuge then hike up Mt Ohi to catch the sunrise(30 minutes), which makes for a magical experience. Contact South Evia Tours or Evia Adventure Tours for details.  Delphi to Kirra Walk, Central Greece 14 kilometers (9 miles), 3 to 4 hours This 14-kilometer downhill hike follows a centuries-old pathway from historic Delphi to the ancient port of Kirra, just east of modern Itea on the southern coast of mainland Greece. The hike starts from the E4 long-distance starting point 100 meters east of the Hotel Acropole. Skirting the village of Crissa, it goes to the gulf (海湾) through Greece’s largest olive garden. After your three-to-four-hour hike, and lunch or a swim, you can return to Delphi by bus (around 2 euros).  Hike to the Tomb of Kleobolus, Rhodes 5 kilometers(3 miles), 2 hours An easy, enjoyable 5-kilometer(two-hour)round-trip hike escapes Lindos to reach the so-called Tomb of Kleobolus. Starting alongside Car Park 1 above the main beach, the route ends at a rocky hill topped by a circular tomb actually built during the 2nd century BC, long after Kleobolus ruled Rhodes. 1. What is the raw beauty of Samaria? A. High and narrow gorges. B. Magical sunset. C. Wildflowers throughout the year. D. Mysterious large rocks. 2. What will visitors see during the Mt Ohi summit hike, Evia? A. Ancient buildings. B. Evia’s highest peak. C. A circular tomb. D. Greece’s largest olive garden. 3. What can we learn about the Delphi to Kirra Walk? A. It lets visitors experience the modern world of Greece. B. Visitors are recommended to get back to Delphi by ship. C. The route connects two places with a long history. D. It is a challenging route through a rocky hill. （ B ） In March, 2021, the much-loved children’s author Beverly Cleary passed away at age 104. Cleary’s writing changed the world of children’s books by showing that stories about the lives of ordinary kids could be interesting, funny, and popular. Cleary was born in 1916. As a child, she had trouble learning to read. Even after she learned to love reading, she felt like the people she was reading about didn’t have much to do with her and her life, which were unattractive to her. She wanted to read funny books about children like herself. When she grew up, Cleary realized there weren’t many books about ordinary kids. So she set out to write them at age 30 and tried to get kids hooked on reading since she found they didn’t show much interest in books. Cleary’s first book, Henry Huggins, came out in 1950.It tells the story of a boy and the dog that he takes in. Soon Cleary wrote more books about Henry Huggins and the other children in his neighborhood. Ramona Quimby, also known as Ramona the Pest, became Cleary’s best known book. The Mouse and the Motorcycle tells the exciting story of a motorcycle-riding mouse and his friendship with a young boy. But that sort of fantasy was unusual for Cleary, who usually focused on real life. In several books, the parents have money trouble or are unhappy with their jobs. Dear Mr. Henshaw tells the story of a boy dealing with his parents’ breaking-off. Cleary had kept writing for 53 years, creating over 40 books in all. She won almost every award there was for children’s books, including the Newbery Medal and the National Book Award. Though Cleary is no longer with us, her characters and stories will beloved and shared for years to come. 4. How did Cleary find the books she read as a kid? A. Difficult. B. Expensive. C. Frightening. D. Boring. 5. What does the underlined part “hooked on” in Paragraph 3 mean? A To dream of. B. To learn from. C. To deeply enjoy. D. To easily provide. 6. Which of the following is a fantasy? A. Dear Mr. Henshaw. B. The Mouse and the Motorcycle. C. Henry Huggins. D. Ramona the Pest. 7. How old was Cleary when she stopped writing? A. About 53. B. About 63. C. About 73. D. About 83. （ C ） In Scotland, 600, 000 tonnes of food are thrown away every year. This amount of food, which could feed about 1.2 billion poor people, is almost a third of household (家庭的) waste. And food waste isn’t just a big problem in Scotland. Money, time, and resources are often wasted by throwing away good food. It also causes very harmful greenhouse gas, which is perilous to the planet. In the production stage, some foods do not enter the food chain for many reasons. Supermarkets usually care about the quality of food from farms. They often refuse strange-looking and unusual y sized produce. However, they seem to forget that it is a most impossible to grow the perfect produce. Food waste at the consumption stage includes food going out of date and leftovers because of too much food. In households, even mostly fresh fruit and vegetables are thrown away. In order to reduce food waste, here is what we can do: Understand the terms “use by” and “best before” dates. “Use by” dates are there for your safety. It is dangerous to eat food after the use-by date and doing so risks your health. “Best before” dates tell you how long the food will beat its best quality. Once the food passes the date, it isn’t necessarily bad, but you should still check, just to be sure. Every time you go shop pig and bring back new food, put them at the back of your fridge and bring the food that will expire (到期) soon closer to the front. That way, you know what needs to be eaten first. If you have any food that will expire soon, give it to charity if you aren’t going to cat it. They will really appreciate the food you have given. 8. What can we infer from Paragraph 1? A. Food waste is the biggest part of household waste. B. Food waste is a common problem. C. People in Scotland waste the most food. D. Household waste hasn’t drawn much attention. 9. What does the underlined word “perilous” in Paragraph 2mean? A. Valuable. B. Unnecessary. C. Different. D. Dangerous. 10. What should people do to reduce food waste according to the text? A. Pick usually sized produce. B. Avoid buying too much food at a time. C. Order produce directly from farmers. D. Improve the quality of farm produce. 11. What advice does the author offer to people? A. Buy food that will expire soon to reduce waste. B. Give food that has passed its use-by date to charity. C. Throw away food that passes the best-before date. D. Place food carefully according to its expiry date. （ D ） A major tech company has expanded options for keeping personal information from online searches. The company stated earlier this week that it would allow people to request the removal of more types of content, such as personal contact information like phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses, from search results. The new policy also permits the removal of other information that may pose a risk for identity theft, such as confidential (机密的) login accounts. In a statement, the company said that open access to information is vital. “But so is empowering (授权) people with the tools they need to protect themselves and keep their sensitive, personally identifiable information private,” the statement continued. “Privacy and online safety go hand in hand. And when you’re using the Internet, it’s important to have control over how your sensitive, personally identifiable information can be found.” Previously, the company had allowed people to request the removal of highly personal content that could cause direct harm. This included information such as bank account or credit card numbers that could be used for fraud (欺诈). “However, as information increasingly appears in unexpected places and is used in new ways, policies need to evolve,” the company said. Having personal contact information openly available online can also pose a threat, and the company reported receiving requests to remove such content as well. It states that when it receives such requests, it will review all the content on the web page to avoid limiting the availability of useful information or content on public record on government or other official websites. “It’s important to remember that removing content from our search results won’t remove it from the Internet, which is why you may wish to contact the hosting site directly, if you’re comfortable doing so,” the company advised. 12. What can we learn from the company’s statement? A. Keeping online private information safe is a must. B Improving the net environment for citizens is a dream. C. The exposure of public information causes a discussion. D. Making a balanced approach to online safety is a fashion. 13. Why does the company review web page content before removing personal information? A. To obey data privacy laws. B. To take down the entire website. C. To increase online personal information. D. To avoid removing useful or public information. 14. What is the main idea of the text? A. Personal information can be removed from online searches. B. Tech companies can find more images and information. C. Privacy risks arise from publishing private information. D. Tech companies know what you’ve done over the years. 15. What is the text likely to be? A. A research paper on online privacy. B. A new approach to using a search engine. C. An advertisement for a data privacy service. D. A news report about privacy protection. 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。选项中有两个为多余选项。 The Upside to Being Outside Research shows that being in nature makes people feel good, whether they’re roughing it in the wilderness for days or just hanging out at a local park for a while.

The color of the sky was changing first light gray, then dark gray, and finally dark and dense. The wind was blowing heavily, and the trees were swaying in the strong wind. It began to rain cats and dogs. Soon, the road was filled with puddles from the rain. On such a stormy afternoon, my mother took my five­year­old brother, Christopher, and me to a new big toy store she had read about in the newspaper. “So many toys，” the advertisement had shouted in full and flashy color, “that we had to get a huge warehouse to fit them all！” Christopher and I couldn't have been more excited. We ran across the parking lot, through the cold and biting rain, as fast as our little legs could carry us. We left our mother outside to battle with the frustrating umbrella, which never worked when she wanted it to. “Christine! Take care of your young brother！” Mother shouted at the top of her voice. “Christine! I'm going to find the Lego section (乐高积木区)! There's a new pirate ship I want, and I have four dollars! Maybe I can buy it！” Christopher exclaimed and ran off excitedly. I only half heard him. I took a right turn and, to my wide­eyed delight, found myself in the midst of the Barbie (芭比) World. I was studying a Barbie and doing some simple math in my head when suddenly an earthshaking clap of thunder roared from the storm outside. I jumped at the noise, dropping the doll to the floor. The lights flickered (闪烁) once and died, covering everything in a blanket of blackness. Thunder continued to shake the sky and lightning illuminated the store for seconds, casting frightening shadows on my mind. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1： “Oh no，” I thought, “Where's Christopher？” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： “Christine, I'm here.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
