Working in the late 19th and early 20th century, Bailey studied birds in nature, focusing on their behaviors rather than on their colors and feather patterns. Bailey was a writer. At the age of 26, she penned her first book, Birds Through an Opera-Glass, considered one of the first modern field guides for bird-watching since it included both notes on behaviors and illustrations. Rachel Carson Rachel Carson started her career as a marine biologist for the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries. Because of her talent as a writer, she was drafted to create brochures and radio programs in addition to her regular research duties. She eventually rose to oversee a team of writers for theU. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. She also contributed articles to newspapers and magazines. In the 1950s, after the success of her book The Sea Around Us, Carson focused full-time on nature writing. Herma Albertson Baggley Herma Albertson Baggley grew up in Iowa but studied botany(植物学) in Idaho and spent her professional career in Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park. When she joined the National Park Service(NPS) in the early 1930s, she was the first full-time female naturalist. Putting her botany knowledge to work, Baggley co-wrote a guide called Plants of Yellowstone National Park. Though it was published in 1936, it was so comprehensive(详尽的) that it is still referenced today. Margaret Murie Margaret Murie, known to almost everyone as“Mardy”( the name she often used in her byline), grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska. She is best known for being the driving force behind the effort to create and expand the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. During her life, she worked as a consultant(顾问) for the NPS, the Sierra Club, and a number of similar environmental protection organizations. 21. What do Bailey and Carson have in common? A. Growing up in Iowa. B. Writing their own books. C. Designing a tour brochure. D. Working for the Sierra Club. 22. Who was the first full-time female naturalist in the NPS? A. Florence Augusta Merria m Bailey. B. Rachel Carson. C. Herma Albertson Baggley. D. Margaret Murie. 23. What made Murie famous? A. Her government position. B. Her childhood experiences. C. Her articles on social media. D. Her efforts to develop the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. B When Myrna was ten, she lived in Ohio, and witnessed a terrible tornado. She was playing in the backyard one day when she heard a strange sound. The sky turned purple, with a little green. Looking into the woods behind her, she saw a long tornado. The tornado headed for the house across from hers! Then, Myrna found a little boy tumbling (摔倒) inside a house. It was terrifying. Myrna felt she couldn't move. She seemed stuck to the ground. She kept watching and saw the boy get sucked out of the house! She screamed for help, but no one responded. Myrna went inside and told her dad what she had seen. Her dad had been watching the tornado from inside the house. When Myrna came in, he realized that she had been outside, and he started to scold(责骂) her. However, Myrna told her father that she had seen the tornado pick up a house and cause a boy to fly out. Her father expressed sadness for the boy and his parents, and hoped the boy was safe and sound. After the tornado ended, Myrna's father decided to go over to the remains of the house. He saw that the owners had returned home and were searching through the mess. He asked what was wrong, and the owners worriedly replied that they couldn't find their little boy. Myrna said to the owners what she had seen. They asked in which direction the boy had gone, and Myrna pointed. The owners rushed off, and Myrna and her father joined in the search. They found the boy 2 days later, and he was alive! He had been blown 1.5 miles way from his house, but had landed in a tree and had survived. The owners were very grateful for Myrna and her father's help. This result caused Myrna to nearly cry. She was excited and proud that she had been able to influence someone's life at such a young age. 24. Where did the strange sound come from that Myrna heard? A. From an animal. B. From a tree. C. From a little boy. D. From a tornado. 25. Why was Myrna's father angry with her when she came in? A. She forgot to do her homework. B. She stayed outside when the tornado came. C. She forgot to go to school in time. D. She failed to save the boy from the tornado. 26. How did the father feel when knowing the boy's story? A. Calm. B. Angry and nervous. C. Sad. D. Disappointed and puzzled. 27. Why did the girl almost cry? A. She was excited and proud of herself. B. She had been scolded by her father. C. She had been badly hurt by the tornado. D. She was ashamed not to help the boy's parents. C 2023 was a“breakout year” for artificial intelligence(AI). Following the release of AI at the end of 2022, machine learning has increasingly been in the public eye. AI made its way into courtrooms, music and art this year, raising a lot of concerns from the public. In the field of science, the cutting-edge technology is paving the way toward new discoveries and more advanced processing of data. Several groups of researchers experimented with having AI algorithms generate words, images and even music based on people's brain scans—a technique that, in the end, could help stroke patients and paralyzed people to communicate with other people by thinking. Machine learning has helped in conservation, such as by tracking migrating birds— the AI-powered tool BirdCast can warn people of an incoming wave of migrants, which may help prevent disease, inform Lights Out programs to reduce window strikes, and remind bird watchers of large groups of birds in their area. Scientists are also developing AI tools that can identify species based only on a photograph, distinguish between similar-looking mushrooms or recognize a bird species from its song. Inspired by the way, a famous AI company follows patterns in language to generate words, and researchers have experimented with translating whale sounds using AI. At the same time, experts warned this year the public of the need to regulate the rapidly advancing technology. For example, Geoffrey Hinton, a machine learning pioneer, quit his job in May so that he could speak more freely about his worries about AI's future. Experts have raised concerns that AI could spread misinformation, manipulate humans and influence the job market badly if it is completely out of control. But innovation continues after all, and it seems likely that researchers will increasingly use AI to attempt breakthroughs in many fields. 28. What does the underlined word“cutting-edge” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Abnormal. B. Curious. C. Outdated. D. Advanced. 29. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The development of AI in history. B. The application of AI in various fields. C. The advantages and disadvantages of AI. D. The negative or harmful side of AI. 30. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. AI development has stopped. B. Experts only see positive outcomes from AI. C. Despite concerns, AI research will continue. D. Geoffrey Hinton supports uncontrolled AI. 31. Why do experts find it necessary to regulate AI? A. It may do harm to health. B. It may lead to pollution. C. It may result in unemployment. D. It may make people become dishonest. D Tigers can weigh over 600 pounds, leap up to 20 feet and take down prey(猎物) nearly five times their weight. But for all their strength, their position on the food chain in their habitats can be fragile. To survive, a single tiger must consume about 100 pounds of flesh each week. That equals about 50 large animals each year. This means tigers require large parts of land, and the land must be filled with prey. In the past century, however, people have been closing in, clearing vast areas of habitats for agriculture. Hunting has also driven down numbers of prey animals. An estimated global tiger population of 100,000 in 1900, spread across Asia and parts of the Middle East, today measures about 4,500. The number was 3,200 in 2010. Tigers now occupy less than 7% of their historical range. In India, where 70% of the world's wild tigers live, human population growth and development are pressing people and tigers closer together. Millions of people now live in“buffer zones” around tiger reserves, and each year tigers kill hundreds of farm animals. Krithi, head of the Centre for Wildlife Studies, spends significant time and resources trying to reduce human-wildlife conflict. One of the centre's programs works with around2,000 rural communities to provide government payments for people who have lost farm animals to tigers’ attacks. “These payments don't fully make up for what people have lost, but can help them face it,” Krithi says. “If these payments don't reach people, the chance of building hatred toward tigers will go up.” Another program teaches children about the role tigers and other animals play in their ecosystems. Krithi says, “Or the kids will view wildlife with hostility and fear.” It also provides them with simple tips, such as carrying flashlights and talking loudly while traveling in groups, to keep them safe near wildlife. 32. What condition must tigers need for survival? A. High mountains. B. Vast grasslands. C. Large population. D. Enough land and prey. 33. Which has the largest population of the world's wild tigers? A. Europe. B. Africa. C. Asia. D. America. 34. What is the purpose of the government payments? A. To pay for the losses of crops. B. To encourage people to raise tigers. C. To make up for the losses of people. D. To inspire people to keep more farm animals. 35. How many pieces of simple suggestions are given in the last paragraph? A.2. B.3. C.4. D.5. 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。 For the most part, anxiety is a condition that comes and goes. But for some, anxiety never goes away completely. 36 . The good one is that you can manage the symptoms(症状), so they don't manage you. Here are some things you can do on any given day to get on the right side of calm. Find an object to focus on A simple grounding exercise is to simply find an object and put all your attention toward studying it for a few minutes. Once you pick an object, start thinking about its look: colors, shape, and texture. Who made it? How does it feel when you touch it? 37 . 38 If you' re prone(易于遭受) to anxiety, keep a diary where you can write what you' re afraid of, your beliefs and thoughts about the fear. Writing will help you focus your thoughts, and reading your entry later can help you handle your anxiety better. Challenge and replace unrealistic thoughts 39 . Identify your anxiety-producing unrealistic thoughts and replace them with thoughts that are either happy and peaceful, or more realistic. If you respond better to positivity, try replacing those fears with a happy thought— like how excited you are to go on a trip with your friends, and how fun it's going to be! Talk to someone about your anxiety If you' re in the struggles of anxiety and can't seem to get out, call a friend, a family member or a mental health professional for help. Have them distract you from your panic and talk through your fear so you can overcome the stress. 40 . A. That's the bad news B. Put your feelings down C. Control your inner dialogue D. Best of all, you can get things done E. Remind yourself that your thoughts are not facts F. This exercise helps ground you in reality and pushes aside any stresses G. Knowing who to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I needed to have a new phone installed(安装).

Scientists describe trees with this unusual quality as marcescent(凋而不落的). Deciduous(落叶的) trees, such as maple, carry out the familiar 57 ( season) cycle. New leaves bud in spring, mature through summer, and then die in the autumn and fall. Think of marcescent trees 58 a special case of deciduous trees— one that skips that last step. Rather than dropping immediately, the leaves of a marcescent tree hang on until wind 59 ( eventual) knocks them down. We see 60 ( example) of marcescence in trees, such as some willows and beech trees. As fall approaches, the leaves of a beech tree die. Then they cling to their branch tip and rattle in the cold wind all winter long. The reason for this odd plant 61 ( behave) remains unclear. But scientists have theories. Marcescence may help protect against hungry herbivores(食草动物), for example, deer. During winter, food is scarce and hungry deer eat new branches of young trees. The unappetizing dead leaves of marcescent trees may stop deer 62 ( damage) the trees. Another theory is that dead leaves provide a physical barrier that the deer must eat up the dead leaves 63 ( reach) the juicy new growth underneath. In addition, studies suggest that marcescence helps control how quickly those leaves break down, 64 may in turn affect the rate at which nutrients are returned to the soil. Therefore, marcescence 65 ( play) a significant role in nutrient cycling within ecosystems. 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 假定你是李华，你校将邀请一位书法家举办一场主题为“书法艺术的文化价值”的讲座。请你给对书法感兴趣的留学生 Jack写一封邮件，内容包括： 1.讲座的主要内容和意义； 2.期待他参加讲座。 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。 Dear Jack, Yours, Li Hua 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。 Maureen Stanko always thought her son, Nick, had so much to give— he needed to be given much care and attention. Nick was 20 and was on the autism(孤独症) and despite her knowing he had so much to give, what he would do after graduation kept the mom up at night. She always lay in bed at midnight, wondering what was going to happen to her son. In Pennsylvania, where they lived, students with disabilities could stay in school until they were 22 years old. Stanko said she'd heard from many parents of kids with disabilities that they worried about their kids' futures. And she actually remembered a saying that her father had: When you have a problem, hope like crazy then get up off your knees and do something. And that was when it popped in her head: so much to give. She brought her worry to Nick's therapist(治疗师), Tyler Kammerle, who told her he had a goal of opening a restaurant to employ people with disabilities. They teamed up with donors to make that dream a reality, and about two years later, “so much to give” was no longer just Stanko's worry. It was a restaurant. They opened the So Much To Give Inclusive Cafe in Cedars, Pennsylvania in January2023. They employed 63 people—80% of the employees with a disability— and they worked as greeters, food runners, chefs, dishwashers and servers. The cafe was not only a place to work, it'd become a safe space for others with disabilities to dine. Stanko even never took Nick to any restaurant before this cafe opened. Because she thought it wasn't worth it. Nick didn't know how to sit in a restaurant. He would stand up and start hopping like a rabbit or clapping or yelling. Stanko wondered if Nick would be able to work at the cafe because of his disability. 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。 Hesitantly and worriedly, Stanko took Nick to the cafe to work. Inspired by Nick's excellent performance in the cafe, Stanko opened up a studio to teach the disabled skills. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
