(Text 10)
W:Good morning.I'm very pleased to have this opportunity to say a little about an exciting new development in the city, the Brackenside Open-Air Swimming Pool.As many of the older members of the audience will remember, there used to be a wonderful open-air pool on the sea front 30 years ago but it had to close when it was judged to be unsafe.For the design of this new heated pool, we were very happy to secure the talents of internationally famous architect Ellen Wendon, who
has managed to combine a charming 1930s design, which fits in so well with many of the other buildings in the area, with up-to-the-minute features such as a recycling system.Now, there has been quite a bit of discussion in the local press about whether there would be enough room for a number of visitors we're hoping to attract.We're on schedule for a June 15th opening date and well within budget.We hope that as many people as possible will be there on June 15.We have engaged award-winning actress Coral White to declare the pool open and there'll be drinks and snacks available at the pool side.There'll also be a competition for the public to decide on the sculpture we plan to have at the entrance:you will decide which famous historical figure from the city we should have.

A Malawian woman, Gloria Majiga-Kamoto, was recently awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize for Africa—the world's leading award for grassroots environmental activists.
Gloria Majiga-Kamoto was then working for a local environmental organization with a program that gave goats to rural farmers, who would use the goat waste to produce low-cost, high-quality organic fertilizer (肥料).The problem? The thin plastic bags covering the Malawian countryside.“We have this very common street food, Chiwaya, which is salty and served in little blue plastics,” Majiga-Kamoto says.“Goats eat the plastic for salty taste and they die because it blocks the ingestion (摄食) system.” For her, this was the moment when it all changed.All of a sudden, she started noticing how plastics were everywhere in the Malawian environment and food system—affecting people's living and health.
“I remember back in the day when we'd go to the market and buy things like fish, you'd get it in newspapers,” she says.But thin plastics took off in the last decade or so as new producers sprung up in Malawi, selling products like thin plastic bags at cheap prices.In fact, the Malawian government decided to ban the importation, production and distribution of single-use plastic in 2015.But before the ban could go into full effect, Malawi's plastics-producing industry appealed to the country's High Court against the ban, causing it to be suspended.
When Majiga-Kamoto and her fellow environmentalists heard about this, they were annoyed.She organized marches and rejected the plastic industry's argument that the ban would hurt Malawi's economy—and even debated with an industry spokesman on TV.Finally in 2019, Malawi's High Court ruled in favor of the ban.The following year, the government began closing down illegal plastic producers.
Michael Sutton, executive director of the Goldman Environmental Foundation, said, “Majiga-Kamoto's fight with the plastic industry is a perfect example of the spirit of the prize.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了马拉维的一位女士Gloria Majiga-Kamoto最近被授予高盛非洲环境奖,这是世界上对草根环境活动家的最高奖项,并详细讲述了她对于马拉维塑料禁令的颁布和执行所做出的努力。

Honeybees understand that “nothing” can be “something” that has numerical meaning, showing that they have a primitive grasp of the concept of zero, according to a newly-published study in Science.
Previous experiments have shown that honeybees have some facility for numbers, because they were able to count landmarks (地标) as they searched around for a sweet reward.But in these tests, the insects couldn't count very high—only to about four.Still, that made researchers in Australia and France want to explore what else the bees could do with numbers.
Scarlett Howard at RMIT University in Melbourne attracted bees to a wall where they were presented with two square cards.Each card had a different number of black symbols, such as dots or triangles.Howard trained one group of bees to understand that sugar water would always be located under the card with the least number of symbols.“They could come and see two circles versus (与……相对) three circles, or four triangles versus one triangle,” she explains.The bees quickly learned to fly to the card with the fewest symbols.
But then they got another test. The researchers presented the bees with a card that had a single symbol and a blank card that had nothing on it.The bees seemed to understand that “zero” was less than one, because they flew toward the blank card more often than you'd expect if they were choosing at random.“When we showed them zero-versus six, they did that at a much higher level than zero versus one,” Howard says.“So what tells us is that they consider zero as an actual quantity along the number line.”
Aurore Avargues-Weber, a researcher with the University of Toulouse, points out even very young children have trouble understanding that zero is a number.“It's easy for them to count ‘one, two, three, four,’ but zero, it's not something to count,” she explains.What's more, the brains of bees are incredibly tiny brains compared with the brains of humans.Even so, the bees can understand the abstract concept of an empty set and she says she found that very surprising.

Transport is undergoing a massive transformation so it can meet society's demands for a low-carbon economy.Introducing electric vehicles (EV) and declining gasoline use are helping, but zero-carbon hydrogen can speed up both the transition (转变) and long-term decarbonization of transport.
In the US, transportation produces the largest share of all greenhouse gas emissions (排放) in the economy at 29%, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.More than 90% of transport fuel is petrol based, but if more vehicles used hydrogen, emissions of this kind would plummet.
However, hydrogen is not considered an ideal replacement for gasoline as an engine fuel for cars because it is harder to store safely.And while fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) that turn hydrogen into electricity can compete with EV performance—and even outcompete them on range and refill time, extra energy is needed to produce the hydrogen needed for fuel.Also, finding investment for storage, pipelines and fuel stations is still a challenge for many nations.
Currently, governments worldwide are backing green hydrogen projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in heavy industries like freight (货运), steel, and energy storage.But hydrogen transport will need rapid production methods to create the fuel needed for the world's road fleet.
Thankfully, research is advancing all the time.Nanoscale (纳米级的) thin films are applied to improving the chemical process to rapidly harvest hydrogen from the seawater.The same technology has been successfully used in solar power devices with higher efficiency-to-cost rates.Since hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and as seawater makes up about 96% of all water on Earth, there is a virtually limitless supply.
Even wastewater and solid waste can create green hydrogen.Researchers at Princeton University are using sunlight to separate hydrogen from industrial wastewater.Chemical plants that currently face high costs for cleaning wastewater could transform it into clean hydrogen supplies.

·Be practical.
While the benefits of pet ownership are clear, pets are definitely not for everybody.Raising pets requires a large amount of work and responsibility.You'd better make sure the whole family is aware of the requirements that come along with the pet. 40 It's best to introduce the potential pet to your child before bringing him or her home to ensure that there is a healthy connection.

This time I 43 called a friend to help.Once again, however, it was broken beyond 44 .I ended up having to 45 two.While both the new machines got delivered quickly, I still 46 about what I was going through in my heart.
The moment I did, my 47 traveled back to when I was a child, I saw my grandma 48 an old-fashioned washing machine with my jeans and shirts.It didn't have a spin dryer (甩干机) inside so she had to put each item through a pair of rollers to 49 the water.When the washing was done, she'd often pat the machine 50 .She had grown up hand-washing clothes and was 51 for the machine that did so much of the work for her.
Remembering this helped me realize that I was looking at things in the 52 way.I was getting 53 in the inconveniences of modern life instead of being thankful for all I have.The good old days had their share of 54 and joys.And so do the good new days.What 55 is how we live them and what we can learn from them.

In this programme, students develop problem-solving abilities,deepen cross-cultural understanding, and explore 63. the future state of the natural world will be like.
57.考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据时间状语in 2012可知,该动作发生在过去,故应用一般过去时;又由于launch和主语GNHD之间是被动关系,故应用被动语态;又因为主语为单数意义,故填was launched。
答案:was launched
58.考查非谓语动词。动词intend后常接动词不定式,be intended to do sth.“打算做某事”,故填to inspire。
答案:to inspire
59.考查冠词 。此处表示上海是世界著名的经济金融中心,表示泛指意义,又因world的发音以辅音音素开头,故填不定冠词a。
答案:a
60.考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处作非谓语。support 与主语 these science knowledge competitions 之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系,故应填过去分词Supported。
答案:Supported
61.考查词性转换。修饰动词held,应用副词,故填continuously。
答案:continuously
62.考查连词。分析句子结构可知,“attracting 60,000 teams 62. involving millions of students and teachers”在句中作状语,且空格前后内容之间为并列关系,故填并列连词and。
答案:and
63.考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处缺少宾语从句的引导词。从句中的like为介词,介词后应接宾语,且此处有“什么”的含义,故填what。
答案:what

At this year's event, a new “Global Nature Day Cyber Space” platform promoting educational equity (公正) and equality was also started.
64.考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据时间状语in the past decade可知,此处应用现在完成时,又因GNHD与add是主动关系且主语为单数意义,故填has added。
答案:has added
This year's GNHD returned to its offline mode. Under 2023's main theme “Seeing small things—Nature's small perspective and big vision”, natural science talent from around the world presented his or her 65. (achieve) in exhibitions,science paintings and storytelling.

第二节 (满分25分)
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。
Sam, Wayne and Tim were three men in their 60s, jamming in the same dusty old garage where they used to play music when they were in high school.They chatted up after ages, remembering the school days when they would take to the stage and play together as a band.
Wayne looked around, wide-eyed.“It's been more than 40 years since we practised here.”
“Yes! And remember how we promised to keep in touch and play together once a week?” Tim laughed.“Sam, remember our brilliant plans?”
“Ah yes! We thought we were inseparable! Now, look at us! Old and wrinkled, joints hurting, meeting at each other's grandkids' weddings...we're terrible at keeping in touch, except Will, of course.He was always calling and messaging.Where is Will? He's the guy who planned this,” Sam smiled.
Just then, the three men's phones buzzed (嗡嗡地响), and the message they received made their hearts sink.It was a message from Jenny, Will's wife.Wayne rushed to his car, and the others followed.A short drive later, the three men knocked on the door of Will's house and tried to wait patiently.
Jenny looked almost unrecognizably pale and told them that Will was taking a nap.The medicines made him all weak.It moved the three men to tears to see their fourth band member in such poor health.
And that day, they found out the whole story of Will's illness.Will's heart condition was serious, and it had been worsening over the past few months.The doctor said only a surgery could help.But it was going to cost at least $15,000.And after all the previous treatments, Will and Jenny didn't have that kind of money anymore.Jenny said the doctors had given Will 6 months, bursting into helpless tears.The three men comforted her and wiped their own tears.“Money isn't an issue,” Sam said as an idea came to him.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
The next day, the three men brought their instruments to the busy street corner.________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Will was finally admitted to hospital three months later.__________

[参考范文]
The next day, the three men brought their instruments to the busy street corner. They set up the sound, and there was a stand with the band name “Playing for Will” and a big stack of flyers to hand out.The men stood there for hours, playing song after song from the golden era of music.They were still perfect together, except for Will's soulful voice that was missing.Although they were very busy, they were very happy to think of collecting money for Will.
Will was finally admitted to hospital three months later. With enough money, they paid for Will's life-saving surgery.The doctors were highly qualified and the surgery was very successful.Will soon recovered smoothly.Will and Jenny were very grateful to their three friends.After that, there was another jamming session at the same dusty old garage.Only this time, there weren't just three happy old men reminiscing the old days; there were all four.It seemed like yesterday once more.
