Four of the world’s greatest national parks
Komodo
Location: Indonesia
Area:1,733km²
Home to the world’s largest lizard (蜥蜴), the Komodo dragon, Komodo National Park is made up of 29 islands in the center of the Indonesian archipelago (群岛). The park’s three main islands of Komodo, Rinca and Padar make ideal destinations for divers (潜水者), as the surrounding coral reefs support a vast amount of oceanic diversity. With over 1,000 species of fish, 260 species of coral, and countless sea animals, this is an ideal spot to encounter (邂逅) sharks, whales, dolphins and more.
Namib-Naukluft
Location: Namibia
Area:49,768km²
In the world’s oldest desert, the landscape moves. The golden dunes (沙丘) shift as winds blow and seasons pass. Visitors come to explore the dunes and it can be a real adventure. Jump in a 4×4 or hike across the sands on foot for a multiday trail and you’ll soon find yourself deep in the Namibian wilderness. You’ll need a permit and doctor’s letter to take on the longer hikes, but one-day hikes give anyone a chance to see more of the Namib.
Tongariro
Location: New Zealand
Area:795km²
As New Zealand’s oldest national park, Tongariro National Park is home to three active volcanoes. And here’s the Tongariro. Alpine Crossing, a 19.4-kilometer hike that takes you across beautiful landscapes. This park also draws in skiers during the winter seasons. The biggest ski area, Whakapapa, covers 5.5km² and has 15 lifts in all.
Teide
Location: Tenerife, Spain
Area: 190km²
This park is home to Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain. With a height of 3,718 metres, Mount Teide is also the third largest volcanic structure on the planet. Besides, Teide National Park possesses unique plants. The most unusual among the 139 recorded species is red bugloss, which has become the symbol of the park.
1. What can visitors do in Komodo National Park?
A. Go diving on its 29 islands.
B. Play with the Komodo dragon.
C. Have a close encounter with ocean life.
D. Hike across the biggest ski area Whakapapa.
2. Which of the following parks is the biggest?
A. Komodo National Park. B. Namib-Naukluft National Park.
C. Tongariro National Park. D. Teide National Park.
3. What do the last two parks have in common?
A. Both own more than 100 plant species. B. Both feature golden dunes.
C. Both are perfect choices for skiers. D. Both are well-known for their volcanoes.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D

Everyone tries their best in life, and sometimes a few kind words of encouragement can help people realize that their efforts are not in vain (徒劳).Ⅰ remember a time when I was in fifth grade, and I was a very shy girl.
There was a drawing competition at my school that day. As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions. Lost in my own world, I was brought back to reality when my art teacher called my name from behind. She came to me and encouraged me, saying, “Don’t overthink it, just put whatever comes to your mind on the canvas (画布). Do your best, and you will do well.”
Taking her words of wisdom to heart, I started my painting. Time flew by, and soon the bell rang, signaling the end of the time limit. We all turned in our canvases for inspection (检查). The next day, the winners of the competition were announced in front of the whole school. To my surprise, I heard my name being called second prize. It was a bolt from the blue for me, as I had never dared to dream of winning any prize.
Later on, I expressed my gratitude to my art teacher for her words of encouragement and for believing in me. That day, I became aware of my talent and started painting more whenever I had free time. Sometimes, I think that if it weren’t for her words of encouragement, I may have never discovered the talent I have.
Overall, this experience taught me the importance of encouraging others and how a few kind words can make a significant impact on someone’s life.
4. What was the author doing when called by the art teacher?
A. Organizing a drawing competition. B. Trying to get some creative ideas.
C. Painting her work on her canvas. D. Trying to get help from others.
5. What did the author think of the competition?
A. Easy. B. Interesting. C. Challenging. D. Encouraging.
6. What do the underlined words “bolt from the blue” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Addiction. B. Puzzlement. C. Disappointment. D. Surprise.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Power of Encouragement
B. The Importance of Art Competitions
C. Overcoming Shyness Through Painting
D. Discovering Your Great Natural Ability
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己的一次参赛经历来证明鼓励的重要性。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions. Lost in my own world, I was brought back to reality when my art teacher called my name from behind.(当每个人都开始用他们的创意来画画时,我只是想一些能表达我想法和情绪的创意。我迷失在自己的世界里,当我的艺术老师从背后呼唤我的名字时,我又回到了现实)”可知,当艺术老师叫作者时,作者正在努力获得一些富有创造力的思路。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions. Lost in my own world, I was brought back to reality when my art teacher called my name from behind. She came to me and encouraged me, saying, “Don’t overthink it, just put whatever comes to your mind on the canvas (画布). Do your best, and you will do well.”(当每个人都开始用他们的创意来画画时,我只是想一些能表达我想法和情绪的创意。我迷失在自己的世界里,当我的艺术老师从背后呼唤我的名字时,我又回到了现实。她走到我面前鼓励我,说:“不要想得太多,只要把你想到的都写在画布上。尽你所能,你就会做得很好。”)”可知,别的学生已经开始画画了,但是作者还在苦苦构思;且艺术老师对作者说:“不要想太多,只要把你想到的东西画在画布上就行了。”这些都说明作者觉得这次比赛对自己来说很难,很有挑战性。故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“To my surprise, I heard my name being called second prize. It was a bolt from the blue for me, as I had never dared to dream of winning any prize.(令我惊讶的是,我听到二等奖里有自己的名字。这对我来说是bolt from the blue,因为我从来不敢梦想赢得任何奖项)”可知,作者做梦都不敢想能得到任何奖品,所以听到自己获奖的消息后感到非常惊讶,划线部分表示“震惊,惊讶”,与surprise同义。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Overall, this experience taught me the importance of encouraging others and how a few kind words can make a significant impact on someone’s life.(总的来说,这段经历教会了我鼓励他人的重要性,以及几句友善的话如何对某人的生活产生重大影响)”以及文章内容可知,作者通过讲述自己的一次参赛经历来证明鼓励的重要性,所以“鼓励的力量”可以作为文章标题。故选A。
C
In today’s world of fast-paced games and short videos, people are spending less and less time on things. For example, research has shown that the average visitor spends just 15 seconds on a website before moving on to other things. But the Internet is a huge and busy place, with millions of sites to choose from. You might expect people to slow down a bit more when they’re in museums full of great works of art. But you’d be wrong.
Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more — the average is about 28 seconds. At the Tate Modern Museum in London, it’s even worse. People there spend an average of just eight seconds on each artwork. And in that short period of time, the visitors are also managing to do another important thing — take selfies !
In recent years museums have been working to change this behavior. Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art. Slow Art supporters believe that when visitors spend more time looking at and studying the work of art, they admire it more. Studying a work of art for more time can also help people get a better understanding of the artist’s ideas and what the artist went through to create the work.
Most of the museums taking part in Slow Art Day are choosing just a few works for their visitors to see. Some of the museums are offering chances for visitors to talk about the artworks and share their ideas.
8. Generally speaking, people spend ______ on each piece of art in a museum.
A. 8 seconds B. 10 seconds C. 15 seconds D. 28 seconds
9. What do the underlined words “this behavior” refer to?
A. Admiring each artwork thoroughly. B. Taking selfies in museums busily.
C. Celebrating “Slow Art Day” widely. D. Looking at each artwork hurriedly.
10. Why is “Slow Art Day” created?
A. To attract more people to visit the museums
B. To stop visitors from taking selfies inside
C. To make people spend more time on each artwork
D. To give visitors an opportunity to relax themselves
11. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. Museums on the Rocks: Please Advise!
B. Museums: Slow down to Admire more!
C. Slow Art Day: a Fruit of Museums!
D. Museums: an Escape from the Fast-paced Life!
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。如今人们花在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间很短,所以博物馆正在努力改变这种行为。全世界170多家博物馆正在庆祝“慢艺术日”,他们要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Many people may spend more time, but not much more—the average is about 28 seconds.(许多人可能会花费更多的时间,但不会多很多——平均时间约为28秒。)”可知,一般来说,人们花28秒钟来欣赏博物馆里的每一件艺术品,故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more—the average is about 28 seconds. At the Tate Modern Museum in London, it’s even worse. People there spend an average of just eight seconds on each artwork. And in that short period of time, the visitors are also managing to do another important thing—take selfies !(一些研究表明,人们花在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间是十秒钟。许多人可能会花费更多的时间,但不会多很多——平均时间约为28秒。在伦敦的泰特现代美术馆,情况更糟。那里的人们在每件艺术品上平均只花费8秒钟。在这短短的时间里,游客们还做了另一件重要的事情——自拍!)”可知,现在游客在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间很短,即他们匆匆地看每一件艺术品。所以近年来,博物馆一直在努力改变这种行为。由此可推知,“this behavior”指的是匆匆地看每一件艺术品这种行为,故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art.(今天,全世界170多家博物馆正在庆祝“慢艺术日”。他们要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品)”结合第二段提到的人们现在平均花费28秒欣赏艺术作品可知,“慢艺术日”要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品,由此可推知,设立“慢艺术日”是为了让人们花更多的时间在每一件艺术品上,故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中“Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more—the average is about 28 seconds. ( 一些研究表明,人们花在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间是十秒钟。许多人可能会花费更多的时间,但不会多很多——平均时间约为28秒。)”和第三段中“In recent years museums have been working to change this behavior. Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art.(近年来,博物馆一直在努力改变这种行为。今天,全世界170多家博物馆正在庆祝“慢艺术日”。他们要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品。)”可知,如今人们花在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间很短,所以博物馆正在努力改变这种行为。全世界170多家博物馆正在庆祝“慢艺术日”,他们要求参观者至少花5-10分钟的时间来欣赏一件艺术品。由此可知,B项“博物馆: 慢下来欣赏更多!”适合做文章标题,故选B。
D
The impact of the man-made climate crisis on Antarctica is scientifically undeniable: stable ice shelves are retreating, air temperature increased by 3 degrees Celsius. krill(磷虾)numbers are declining, melting ice is contributing to sea level rise, and polar bears and seals are getting displaced. “Antarctic biodiversity could decline substantially by the end of the century if we continue with business as usual.” Jasmine Rachael Lee, lead author of the University of Queensland study says.
Published in the journal PLOS Biology, the study finds population declines are likely for 65% of the continent’s plants and wildlife by the year 2100. The most vulnerable(脆弱的)species is the Emperor penguins. In October 2022, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed Emperor penguins as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act(ESA), as experts predict the flightless seabird will see a 26% to 47% dip in its population by 2050. “This listing reflects the growing extinction crisis and highlights the importance of the ESA and efforts to conserve species before population declines become irreversible(不可逆转).” said Service Director Martha Williams at the time.
Aside from Emperor penguins, other Antarctic specialists, like the Adélie penguin and dry soil nematodes, were also highly vulnerable. We urgently need a combination of global and local conservation action to best conserve Antarctic species. Global action and global voices to help relieve climate change—because the biggest threat to Antarctica is coming from outside of it. And then we need local actions to help protect biodiversity against local threats and give them the best chance of adapting to climate changes. This will help to save our iconic(代表性的)species like the Emperor penguins and all of Antarctica’s unique and highly adapted inhabitants. It will also help humankind, as we rely heavily on the priceless services the Antarctic provides in regulating our climate and capturing sea level in its ice sheets.
12. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. The impact of climate crisis is usually denied.
B. Conservation efforts are badly needed.
C. Air temperature on Antarctic increases 3℃ annually.
D. Sea level rise results in seabirds losing their habitats.
13. Why is the Emperor penguin mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To serve as a call to protect wildlife on Antarctic
B. To reflect the growing population of wild species.
C. To prove the effectiveness of the Endangered Species Act.
D. To highlight the severe impact of rising temperature.
14. What is probably the best conservation policy?
A. Reducing the chances of making a trip to Antarctic.
B. Making joint efforts to relieve climate change.
C. Attempting to provide essential nutrients to the ecosystem.
D. Continuing to carry forward the Endangered Species Act.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Plants and Wildlife on Antarctica Will Decline Quickly
B. Antarctic Species Are Vulnerable to Human Threats
C. More Action Should Be Taken to Protect Wildlife on Antarctica
D. The Best Conservation Strategy Will Be Carried Out Soon
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述的是研究发现,到2100年,南极洲65%的植物和野生动物将减少,现有的保护工作不足以保护南极生态系统,我们迫切需要结合全球行动,以最好地保护南极物种。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Antarctic biodiversity could decline substantially by the end of the century if we continue with business as usual.(如果我们继续照常营业,到本世纪末,南极生物多样性可能会大幅下降。)”可知,这样继续下去,南极的生物多样性会急剧下降,由此可推知, 保护工作是迫切需要的。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的““This listing reflects the growing extinction crisis and highlights the importance of the ESA and efforts to conserve species before population declines become irreversible(不可逆转).” said Service Director Martha Williams at the time.( “这一名单反映了日益严重的物种灭绝危机,凸显了ESA的重要性,以及在种群数量下降不可逆转之前保护物种的努力。”当时的服务主管玛莎·威廉姆斯说。)”可知, 气候变化正在对世界各地的物种产生深远影响,帝企鹅列入名单是一个行动号召,来保护南极洲野生动物。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“We urgently need a combination of global and local conservation action to best conserve Antarctic species. Global action and global voices to help relieve climate change—because the biggest threat to Antarctica is coming from outside of it.(我们迫切需要全球和地方保护行动相结合,以最好地保护南极物种。全球行动和全球声音帮助缓解气候变化——因为南极洲面临的最大威胁来自外部。)”可知,我们迫切需要结合全球和地方保护行动,这有助于缓解气候变化。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的““Antarctic biodiversity could decline substantially by the end of the century if we continue with business as usual.” Jasmine Rachael Lee, lead author of the University of Queensland study says.(“如果我们继续一切照旧,到本世纪末,南极的生物多样性可能会大幅下降。”昆士兰大学这项研究的主要作者Jasmine Rachael Lee说。)”引出本文讲述的话题,根据第二段中的“Published in the journal PLOS Biology, the study finds population declines are likely for 65% of the continent’s plants and wildlife by the year 2100.(这项发表在《公共科学图书馆生物学》杂志上的研究发现,到2100年,非洲大陆65%的植物和野生动物的数量可能会下降。)”可知,研究发现,到2100年, 南极洲65%的植物和野生动物将减少,结合下文中对这一研究发现以及对解决这一问题的迫切性的分析可知,本文主要讲述的事一项研究发现,要采取更多的行动来保护南极的野生物种,所以文本的题目为“应采取更多行动保护南极洲的野生动植物”与文章内容吻合,且概括了本文的主题。故选C项。

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。
“Mary! Come and see what I have brought home!” My father opened the door and shouted cheerfully.
“Is it a dog?” I asked when I saw him hugging a huge creature in his arms.
My father nodded and put the dog on the floor. When it ran toward me, I pressed my hands tightly over my mouth to hold back a scream. I turned around and rushed back to my room. I locked up the door as soon as I could.
Since I was attacked by a wild dog two months ago, I had been living in constant fear of dogs. I was confused why my father was so happy to bring home such a scary thing. So I decided to stay in my room until the dog was gone. After what seemed like ages, I heard the door open and shut.
“Finally!” I breathed in relief and opened the door cautiously.
To my shock, I felt something wet touching my foot. It was the dog! I froze there, as if my feet were rooted to the ground. When I regained my senses, I screamed, “Daddy! It is the dog! Help! It wants to bite me! Get it away from me!”
My father was standing by the other side of the door,folding his arms and encouraged me,“It is not going to eat you! Mary, don’t be so scared. Go on! Touch it!”
I tried my best to control my fear and bent down to touch the dog. But I could not do it due to my constant and uncontrollable shaking.
“Never! I will never touch that dirty thing! Take it away!” I shouted.
My father turned a deaf ear to my request. In despair, I picked up a tennis ball that happened to be on the floor and threw it at the dog.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The ball missed the target.

But the next moment I was reminded of the awful experience.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The ball missed the target. Instead, it rolled across the living room. The dog ran excitedly after the ball and brought it back to me. When it put the ball beside my feet and looked up at me with a big smile on its face, my heart somehow softened. I reached out and tried to touch it. Obviously encouraged by my friendlier reaction, the dog started rubbing its body against one of my legs.
But the next moment I was reminded of the awful experience. My hand stopped in the middle way. It seemed that the dog understood what I was thinking about. It lay down at my feet and appeared so sad that I forced myself to touch its fur, which the dog seemed to be quite enjoying. Since then I have overcome my fear and we have become the best friends. It followed me everywhere and drove away any unfriendly dogs as a faithful bodyguard.

Everyone tries their best in life, and sometimes a few kind words of encouragement can help people realize that their efforts are not in vain (徒劳).Ⅰ remember a time when I was in fifth grade, and I was a very shy girl.
There was a drawing competition at my school that day. As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions. Lost in my own world, I was brought back to reality when my art teacher called my name from behind. She came to me and encouraged me, saying, “Don’t overthink it, just put whatever comes to your mind on the canvas (画布). Do your best, and you will do well.”
Taking her words of wisdom to heart, I started my painting. Time flew by, and soon the bell rang, signaling the end of the time limit. We all turned in our canvases for inspection (检查). The next day, the winners of the competition were announced in front of the whole school. To my surprise, I heard my name being called second prize. It was a bolt from the blue for me, as I had never dared to dream of winning any prize.
Later on, I expressed my gratitude to my art teacher for her words of encouragement and for believing in me. That day, I became aware of my talent and started painting more whenever I had free time. Sometimes, I think that if it weren’t for her words of encouragement, I may have never discovered the talent I have.
Overall, this experience taught me the importance of encouraging others and how a few kind words can make a significant impact on someone’s life.
4. What was the author doing when called by the art teacher?
A. Organizing a drawing competition. B. Trying to get some creative ideas.
C. Painting her work on her canvas. D. Trying to get help from others.
5. What did the author think of the competition?
A. Easy. B. Interesting. C. Challenging. D. Encouraging.
6. What do the underlined words “bolt from the blue” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Addiction. B. Puzzlement. C. Disappointment. D. Surprise.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Power of Encouragement
B. The Importance of Art Competitions
C. Overcoming Shyness Through Painting
D. Discovering Your Great Natural Ability
C

But the Internet is a huge and busy place, with millions of sites to choose from. You might expect people to slow down a bit more when they’re in museums full of great works of art. But you’d be wrong.
Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more — the average is about 28 seconds. At the Tate Modern Museum in London, it’s even worse. People there spend an average of just eight seconds on each artwork. And in that short period of time, the visitors are also managing to do another important thing — take selfies !
In recent years museums have been working to change this behavior. Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art. Slow Art supporters believe that when visitors spend more time looking at and studying the work of art, they admire it more. Studying a work of art for more time can also help people get a better understanding of the artist’s ideas and what the artist went through to create the work.
Most of the museums taking part in Slow Art Day are choosing just a few works for their visitors to see. Some of the museums are offering chances for visitors to talk about the artworks and share their ideas.
8. Generally speaking, people spend ______ on each piece of art in a museum.
A. 8 seconds B. 10 seconds C. 15 seconds D. 28 seconds
9. What do the underlined words “this behavior” refer to?
A Admiring each artwork thoroughly. B. Taking selfies in museums busily.
C. Celebrating “Slow Art Day” widely. D. Looking at each artwork hurriedly.
10. Why is “Slow Art Day” created?
A. To attract more people to visit the museums
B. To stop visitors from taking selfies inside
C. To make people spend more time on each artwork
D To give visitors an opportunity to relax themselves
11. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. Museums on the Rocks: Please Advise!
B. Museums: Slow down to Admire more!
C. Slow Art Day: a Fruit of Museums!
D. Museums: an Escape from the Fast-paced Life!
D
The impact of the man-made climate crisis on Antarctica is scientifically undeniable: stable ice shelves are retreating, air temperature increased by 3 degrees Celsius. krill(磷虾)numbers are declining, melting ice is contributing to sea level rise, and polar bears and seals are getting displaced. “Antarctic biodiversity could decline substantially by the end of the century if we continue with business as usual.” Jasmine Rachael Lee, lead author of the University of Queensland study says.
Published in the journal PLOS Biology, the study finds population declines are likely for 65% of the continent’s plants and wildlife by the year 2100. The most vulnerable(脆弱的)species is the Emperor penguins. In October 2022, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed Emperor penguins as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act(ESA), as experts predict the flightless seabird will see a 26% to 47% dip in its population by 2050. “This listing reflects the growing extinction crisis and highlights the importance of the ESA and efforts to conserve species before population declines become irreversible(不可逆转).” said Service Director Martha Williams at the time.
Aside from Emperor penguins, other Antarctic specialists, like the Adélie penguin and dry soil nematodes, were also highly vulnerable. We urgently need a combination of global and local conservation action to best conserve Antarctic species. Global action and global voices to help relieve climate change—because the biggest threat to Antarctica is coming from outside of it. And then we need local actions to help protect biodiversity against local threats and give them the best chance of adapting to climate changes. This will help to save our iconic(代表性的)species like the Emperor penguins and all of Antarctica’s unique and highly adapted inhabitants. It will also help humankind, as we rely heavily on the priceless services the Antarctic provides in regulating our climate and capturing sea level in its ice sheets.
12. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. The impact of climate crisis is usually denied.
B. Conservation efforts are badly needed.
C. Air temperature on Antarctic increases 3℃ annually.
D. Sea level rise results in seabirds losing their habitats.
13. Why is the Emperor penguin mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To serve as a call to protect wildlife on Antarctic
B. To reflect the growing population of wild species.
C. To prove the effectiveness of the Endangered Species Act.
D. To highlight the severe impact of rising temperature.
14. What is probably the best conservation policy?
A. Reducing the chances of making a trip to Antarctic.
B. Making joint efforts to relieve climate change.
C. Attempting to provide essential nutrients to the ecosystem.
D. Continuing to carry forward the Endangered Species Act.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Plants and Wildlife on Antarctica Will Decline Quickly
B. Antarctic Species Are Vulnerable to Human Threats
C. More Action Should Be Taken to Protect Wildlife on Antarctica
D. The Best Conservation Strategy Will Be Carried Out Soon

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。
“Mary! Come and see what I have brought home!” My father opened the door and shouted cheerfully.
“Is it a dog?” I asked when I saw him hugging a huge creature in his arms.
My father nodded and put the dog on the floor. When it ran toward me, I pressed my hands tightly over my mouth to hold back a scream. I turned around and rushed back to my room. I locked up the door as soon as I could.
Since I was attacked by a wild dog two months ago, I had been living in constant fear of dogs. I was confused why my father was so happy to bring home such a scary thing. So I decided to stay in my room until the dog was gone. After what seemed like ages, I heard the door open and shut.
“Finally!” I breathed in relief and opened the door cautiously.
To my shock, I felt something wet touching my foot. It was the dog! I froze there, as if my feet were rooted to the ground. When I regained my senses, I screamed, “Daddy! It is the dog! Help! It wants to bite me! Get it away from me!”
My father was standing by the other side of the door,folding his arms and encouraged me,“It is not going to eat you! Mary, don’t be so scared. Go on! Touch it!”
I tried my best to control my fear and bent down to touch the dog. But I could not do it due to my constant and uncontrollable shaking.
“Never! I will never touch that dirty thing! Take it away!” I shouted.
My father turned a deaf ear to my request. In despair, I picked up a tennis ball that happened to be on the floor and threw it at the dog.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The ball missed the target.
