Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible. I’m above the Arctic Circle, where in summer the sun never sets. Checking my watch, I see that it is 7: 30 a.m. I leave my tent and walk over to the mountain edge. Spreading out before me, branches of the Rapa River flow through the valleybelow. I’m in the remote far north of Sweden in Sarek National Park, a place with no roads or towns. 2 A Land of Mountain and Ice Sarek’s mountains used to be covered by vast sheets of ice. Around 9, 000 years ago, this ice melted, leaving behind about 100 glaciers. Soon after, reindeer began to arrive. Following the reindeer were the Sami people, who made this territorytheir home. Getting here is quite difficult, so apart from the Sami very few people have ever seen Sarek. In 1909, Sarek was made a national park in order to keep the land in its natural state. Though the Sami are allowed to continue their traditional way of life in the park, no one else can live here, and all new development is banned within park boundaries. At the far side of the valley, an ancient Sami cottage is visible. Close by, there are a few reindeer feeding on grass. 3 Man at Peace with Nature For hundreds of years, looking after reindeer was a way of life for the Sami. They used the reindeer’s meat for food, their bones for tools, and their skin for making clothes and tents. Since reindeer were always on the move, the Sami would pick up their tents and accompany them. Today, most Sami have houses in villages near Sarek and live a modern life just like their neighbours. But every spring, a small number of Sami still follow their reindeer into the valleys of Sarek, living in tents or old cottages and enjoying their traditions. I am not a Sami, but in Sarek I’ve adopted some of their habits. For example, this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire, dried reindeer meat, and some sweet and sour berries that I found growing near my tent. 4 A Land of Adventure After breakfast, I pack my bag and set out again. Since I must carry all of my food and supplies with me, my bag weighs about 30 kilograms. If today is anything like yesterday, it will be full of sweat and hard work as I hike over this difficult land to my destination on the other side of the valley. However, I cannot complain. Being in such a beautiful and wild place makes me feel blessed to be alive. Here I am, alone under this broad sky, breathing the fresh air, and enjoying this great adventure. What could be better? 4. Why is it hard for the author to tell whether it is morning or night? A. The author is in the remote far north of Sweden. B. The author doesn't have a chance to check his watch. C. The sun never sets in summer above the Arctic Circle. D. It is the first time for the author to come to the Arctic Circle. 5. How are the Sarek's mountains at present? A. The mountains are covered by thick ice. B. The mountains exist together with glaciers. C. The Sami are growing crops on the mountains. D. The mountains have turned into a few parks. 6. What does the author want to tell in Paragraph 3? A. Reindeer have become part of the Sami's life. B. The Sami should stop killing reindeer at once. C. The Sami can live at peace with their neighbours. D. It is a good idea to use the reindeer's meat for food. 7. What could have happened to the author yesterday? A He prepared enough food and supplies. B. He walked along a rough and difficult path. C. He was lucky to be alive in the mountains. D. He made a detailed plan for the adventure. C A group of researchers has come up with a way to make it easier to drive in the snow: by designing tyres (轮胎) based on polar bear paws. “We had an ongoing project for many years focused on ice,” said Ali Dhinojwala, who took part in the research.“We were looking at the friction (摩擦力) of materials because our national partners need to develop tyres with a strong grip on the road in ice and snow conditions.” The team turned to nature for inspiration, thinking that evolution might have already solved the problem in a way that could be copied with technology. The obvious place to look was polar bears — specifically the tiny bumps (凸块) on the surface of their paw pads — to find out what effect they have on the animals’ ability to move quickly across icy and snowy area. To do this the team gathered samples (样本) of polar bear paw pads, as well as samples from brown bears and American black bears (two species closely related to polar bears) and sun bears (a distantly related species, typically found in Asia). The team imaged the samples using a scanning electron microscope, produced 3D-printed copies and then tested them in snow in the lab. They found that the tiny structures on the polar bear paw pads were taller, which gave them better friction on the snow, even though polar bears have smaller pads compared to other bears. The team now wants to look into other factors that may have an effect, such as the patterns and shapes of the tiny structures. “If you look at snow tyres, you’ll see that they do have some deeper treads (外胎花纹), but this research could also show various ways to design them that could have a larger impact,” said Dhinojwala. 8. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Tiny bumps. B. Polar bears. C. Snowy roads. D. Paw pads. 9. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The finding of the research. B. The background of the research. C. The comparison of different bear pads. D. The differences of samples in the lab. 10. What can we infer from Dhinojwala’s words in the last paragraph? A. Snow tyres that have deeper treads can be safe enough. B. Different treads might be designed on the snow tyres. C. The researchers should have turned to other bears for inspiration. D. The design of snow tyres requires no further improvement. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. An Ongoing Project Focused on Ice B. An Easier Way to Drive in the Snow C. A New Research on Polar Bear Paw Pads D. Snow Tyres Based on Polar Bear Paws D San Francisco’s waterfront (海滨) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason. Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies — from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San Francisco’s waterfront, however, isn’t safe. In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the US’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco. “The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said,“Sea level rise hasn’t historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that’s changed. Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century. Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude (震级) and frequency of the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what’s worth saving and what isn’t, can make it hard for cities to know what to do first. 12. What is San Francisco’s waterfront famous for? A. Crowded beaches. B. Old landmarks. C. Comfortable climate. D. Beautiful bridges. 13. What challenge is the waterfront facing? A. The threat from rising sea levels. B. The loss of public support. C. The competition from other cities D. The influence of tourist activities. 14. Why is the earthquake mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To stress the seriousness of sea level rise. B. To give an example of existing threats. C. To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection. D. To compare different types of natural disasters. 15. What can be known from the text? A. Threats have been removed. B. Heritage sites are in ruins. C. Solutions are under consideration. D. The shoreline has been flooded. 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。 Sports is getting its increasing popularity among teens.

Dig a hole. Put in a seed. Cover it with dirt. Water it. Wait. “See, Laynie,” I explained, “a whole plant will grow from this tiny seed. All we have to do is water it.” Laynie had her own watering can, so she could “help” me in the garden. One day, after everything was watered, she said, “We forgot something, Brad.” She ran to the fence and started sprinkling (洒) water on another spot. I walked over and saw a fresh patch of dirt near the fence. “Did you plant something there?” I asked. “Yes,” she said. “I’m growing a pencil.” She stopped sprinkling. “My purple pencil got too small, so I planted it, the way you said.” “But, Laynie—” “How long does it take to grow a new pencil?” I should have explained things right then, but I just said quietly, “Uh...I never grew one before.” Later I got what seemed like a great idea I dug up Laynie’s pencil and “planted” a brand-new purple pencil. Laynie was really excited when she saw it. “My pencil grew!” she shouted. She drew pictures with it all afternoon. One day I saw her patting down some dirt, so I knew she’d just planted something. “What is it this time?” I asked. “It’s Molly.” I gasped (倒吸气). Molly was Laynie’s goldfish! “She jumped out of her bowl again,” Laynie said. “Grandma said we didn’t find her in time.” Then Laynie picked up her little watering can and started sprinkling that spot. My heart dropped to my feet when she asked, “How long does it take to grow a goldfish, Brad?” She knelt down to whisper, “Grow, Molly. Grow!” before she skipped back to the house. I sat down with my back to the fence and wondered what I should do then. 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。 Maybe, I could put a live fish on the spot just before Laynie came along. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Laynie buried Molly and planted some “forget-me-not” seeds on the grave (坟墓). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 BCCCA 6—10 CBACA 11—15 ABBBA 16—20 AACBB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023级高二第一学期期中考试检测卷 英语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑；非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答；字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4. 考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 5. 本卷主要考查内容：至选择性必修第一册U4。 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) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

(然而，你必须仔细选择你的欣赏时间，由于国家面临能源成本不断上涨，我们在11月初重新开启的灯，今年每天只开8小时，从下午3点到11点。)”可知，今年牛津大街的节日灯每天只亮8小时，因为政府想要节约能源。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Regent street”部分关键句“Regent Street’s lights are on the theme of The Spirit Of Christmas this year, bringing golden angels to the shopping street. (摄政街的灯光以今年的圣诞精神为主题，为购物街带来金色天使。)可知，在摄政街，灯光主要集中在圣诞精神上。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Covent Garden”部分关键句“Visitors can also enjoy daily snow showers as well as festive food treats and heated wine — with over 40 different varieties there. (游客还可以在那里享受每天的阵雪，以及节日食品和40多种不同品种的热葡萄酒。)”可知，游客参观科文特花园时可以享受多种不同种类的葡萄酒。故选C。 B [课本原文] SAREK NATIONAL PARK— EUROPE’S HIDDEN NATURAL TREASURE 1 A Summer Where the Sun Never Sleeps I wake up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of my tent. Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible. I’m above the Arctic Circle, where in summer the sun never sets. Checking my watch, I see that it is 7: 30 a.m. I leave my tent and walk over to the mountain edge. Spreading out before me, branches of the Rapa River flow through the valleybelow. I’m in the remote far north of Sweden in Sarek National Park, a place with no roads or towns. 2 A Land of Mountain and Ice Sarek’s mountains used to be covered by vast sheets of ice. Around 9, 000 years ago, this ice melted, leaving behind about 100 glaciers. Soon after, reindeer began to arrive. Following the reindeer were the Sami people, who made this territorytheir home. Getting here is quite difficult, so apart from the Sami very few people have ever seen Sarek. In 1909, Sarek was made a national park in order to keep the land in its natural state. Though the Sami are allowed to continue their traditional way of life in the park, no one else can live here, and all new development is banned within park boundaries. At the far side of the valley, an ancient Sami cottage is visible. Close by, there are a few reindeer feeding on grass. 3 Man at Peace with Nature For hundreds of years, looking after reindeer was a way of life for the Sami. They used the reindeer’s meat for food, their bones for tools, and their skin for making clothes and tents. Since reindeer were always on the move, the Sami would pick up their tents and accompany them. Today, most Sami have houses in villages near Sarek and live a modern life just like their neighbours. But every spring, a small number of Sami still follow their reindeer into the valleys of Sarek, living in tents or old cottages and enjoying their traditions. I am not a Sami, but in Sarek I’ve adopted some of their habits. For example, this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire, dried reindeer meat, and some sweet and sour berries that I found growing near my tent. 4 A Land of Adventure After breakfast, I pack my bag and set out again. Since I must carry all of my food and supplies with me, my bag weighs about 30 kilograms. If today is anything like yesterday, it will be full of sweat and hard work as I hike over this difficult land to my destination on the other side of the valley. However, I cannot complain. Being in such a beautiful and wild place makes me feel blessed to be alive. Here I am, alone under this broad sky, breathing the fresh air, and enjoying this great adventure. What could be better? 4. Why is it hard for the author to tell whether it is morning or night? A. The author is in the remote far north of Sweden. B. The author doesn't have a chance to check his watch. C. The sun never sets in summer above the Arctic Circle. D. It is the first time for the author to come to the Arctic Circle. 5. How are the Sarek's mountains at present? A. The mountains are covered by thick ice. B. The mountains exist together with glaciers. C. The Sami are growing crops on the mountains. D. The mountains have turned into a few parks. 6. What does the author want to tell in Paragraph 3? A. Reindeer have become part of the Sami's life. B The Sami should stop killing reindeer at once. C. The Sami can live at peace with their neighbours. D. It is a good idea to use the reindeer's meat for food. 7. What could have happened to the author yesterday? A. He prepared enough food and supplies. B. He walked along a rough and difficult path. C. He was lucky to be alive in the mountains. D. He made a detailed plan for the adventure. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者的沙瑞克国家公园之旅。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I wake up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of my tent. Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible. I’m above the Arctic Circle, where in summer the sun never sets.”（我在风吹动帐篷布的声音中醒来。即使阳光灿烂，也无法分辨现在是早晨还是夜晚。我在北极圈之上，那里夏天太阳永不落。）可知，作者很难分辨是早晨还是晚上是因为北极圈上空的夏天太阳从不落下。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Sarek’s mountains used to be covered by vast sheets of ice. Around 9, 000 years ago, this ice melted, leaving behind about 100 glaciers.”（沙瑞克的山脉曾经被巨大的冰层覆盖。大约9000年前，这些冰融化了，留下了大约100个冰川。）可推知，沙瑞克的山脉和冰川共存。故选B项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“For hundreds of years, looking after reindeer was a way of life for the Sami. They used the reindeer’s meat for food, their bones for tools, and their skin for making clothes and tents. Since reindeer were always on the move, the Sami would pick up their tents and accompany them. Today, most Sami have houses in villages near Sarek and live a modern life just like their neighbours. But every spring, a small number of Sami still follow their reindeer into the valleys of Sarek, living in tents or old cottages and enjoying their traditions. I am not a Sami, but in Sarek I’ve adopted some of their habits. For example, this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire, dried reindeer meat, and some sweet and sour berries that I found growing near my tent.”（几百年来，照顾驯鹿是萨米人的一种生活方式。他们用驯鹿的肉做食物，用它们的骨头做工具，用它们的皮做衣服和帐篷。因为驯鹿总是在移动，萨米人会收拾他们的帐篷，陪伴他们。今天，大多数萨米人在萨雷克附近的村庄有房子，和他们的邻居一样过着现代生活。但每年春天，仍有一小部分萨米人跟随他们的驯鹿进入萨雷克的山谷，住在帐篷或古老的小屋里，享受着他们的传统。我不是萨米人，但在沙瑞克，我吸收了他们的一些习惯。例如，今天早上我的早餐是在火上烤热的扁平面包，驯鹿肉干，还有一些我在帐篷附近发现的酸甜浆果。）可知，作者在第三段表明了驯鹿已经成为萨米人生活的一部分。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If today is anything like yesterday, it will be full of sweat and hard work as I hike over this difficult land to my destination on the other side of the valley.”（如果今天像昨天一样，当我徒步穿过这片艰难的土地到达山谷另一边的目的地时，它将充满汗水和艰苦的工作。）可推知，昨天作者可能走过一条崎岖难行的路。故选B项。 C A group of researchers has come up with a way to make it easier to drive in the snow: by designing tyres (轮胎) based on polar bear paws. “We had an ongoing project for many years focused on ice,” said Ali Dhinojwala, who took part in the research.“We were looking at the friction (摩擦力) of materials because our national partners need to develop tyres with a strong grip on the road in ice and snow conditions.” The team turned to nature for inspiration, thinking that evolution might have already solved the problem in a way that could be copied with technology. The obvious place to look was polar bears — specifically the tiny bumps (凸块) on the surface of their paw pads — to find out what effect they have on the animals’ ability to move quickly across icy and snowy area. To do this, the team gathered samples (样本) of polar bear paw pads, as well as samples from brown bears and American black bears (two species closely related to polar bears) and sun bears (a distantly related species, typically found in Asia). The team imaged the samples using a scanning electron microscope, produced 3D-printed copies and then tested them in snow in the lab. They found that the tiny structures on the polar bear paw pads were taller, which gave them better friction on the snow, even though polar bears have smaller pads compared to other bears. The team now wants to look into other factors that may have an effect, such as the patterns and shapes of the tiny structures. “If you look at snow tyres, you’ll see that they do have some deeper treads (外胎花纹), but this research could also show various ways to design them that could have a larger impact,” said Dhinojwala. 8. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Tiny bumps. B. Polar bears. C. Snowy roads. D. Paw pads. 9. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The finding of the research. B. The background of the research. C. The comparison of different bear pads. D. The differences of samples in the lab. 10. What can we infer from Dhinojwala’s words in the last paragraph? A. Snow tyres that have deeper treads can be safe enough. B. Different treads might be designed on the snow tyres. C. The researchers should have turned to other bears for inspiration. D. The design of snow tyres requires no further improvement. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. An Ongoing Project Focused on Ice B. An Easier Way to Drive in the Snow C. A New Research on Polar Bear Paw Pads D. Snow Tyres Based on Polar Bear Paws 【答案】8 A 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家基于北极熊熊爪的构造设计新型雪地轮胎。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“The obvious place to look was polar bears — specifically the tiny bumps (凸块) on the surface of their paw pads — to find out what effect they have on the animals’ ability to move quickly across icy and snowy area.(最明显研究对象是北极熊——特别是它们脚掌表面的小凸起——来发现它们对动物在冰雪地区快速移动的能力有什么影响。)”可知，“它们”指的是北极熊脚掌表面的小凸起对于动物在冰雪地区快速移动的能力的影响，推断出they指代的是选项“小凸起”。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“They found that the tiny structures on the polar bear paw pads were taller, which gave them better friction on the snow, even though polar bears have smaller pads compared to other bears.(他们发现北极熊脚垫上的微小结构更高，这使得它们在雪地上有更好的摩擦力，尽管北极熊的脚垫比其他熊小。)”可知，第四段主要谈到的是研究的发现。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““If you look at snow tyres, you’ll see that they do have some deeper treads (外胎花纹), but this research could also show various ways to design them that could have a larger impact,” said Dhinojwala.(“如果你看看雪地轮胎，你会发现它们确实有一些更深的外胎花纹，但这项研究也可以展示各种设计方法，这些方法可以产生更大的影响，”Dhinojwala说)”可知，我们可以从最后一段Dhinojwala的话中推断出雪地轮胎可能会设计不同的外胎花纹。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A group of researchers has come up with a way to make it easier to drive in the snow: by designing tyres (轮胎) based on polar bear paws.(一组研究人员提出了一种使在雪地里开车更容易的方法：用北极熊的爪子设计轮胎。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是科学家基于北极熊爪设计雪地轮胎，选项D“基于北极熊爪的雪地轮胎”符合题意。故选D。 D San Francisco’s waterfront (海滨) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason. Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies — from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San Francisco’s waterfront, however, isn’t safe. In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the US’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco. “The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said,“Sea level rise hasn’t historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that’s changed. Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century. Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude (震级) and frequency of the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what’s worth saving and what isn’t, can make it hard for cities to know what to do first. 12. What is San Francisco’s waterfront famous for? A. Crowded beaches. B. Old landmarks. C. Comfortable climate. D. Beautiful bridges. 13. What challenge is the waterfront facing? A. The threat from rising sea levels. B. The loss of public support. C. The competition from other cities D. The influence of tourist activities. 14. Why is the earthquake mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To stress the seriousness of sea level rise. B. To give an example of existing threats. C. To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection. D. To compare different types of natural disasters. 15. What can be known from the text? A. Threats have been removed. B. Heritage sites are in ruins. C. Solutions are under consideration. D. The shoreline has been flooded. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了旧金山的滨水区如今面临海平面上升的威胁，同时许多城市的滨水地标正面临着由人类活动引起的气候变化带来的洪水和海平面上升的日益严重的威胁。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies — from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco.(它美丽的古老地标，如渡轮大厦和海湾大桥，在许多书籍、电视节目和电影中都有出现——从杰克·伦敦的故事和小说到20世纪70年代的电视剧《旧金山街道》。)”可知，旧金山的滨水区以古老地标闻名。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the US’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise.(2016年，美国国家历史保护信托基金会将该市部分海岸线列入了美国最濒危的历史遗迹名单，部分原因是海平面上升的威胁。)”可知，滨水区面临海平面上升的威胁。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century.(近年来，沿着滨水区的部分主要道路因暴雨而被淹没。该州估计，到2060年，水位可能会上升到比现在高2.5英尺左右，到世纪之交可能会上升到7英尺。)”可推知，第四段提到了地震是为了强调海平面上升的严重性。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline.(现在，旧金山正在考虑采取措施保护其历史悠久的海岸线。)”可知，解决方案正在考虑之中。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sports is getting its increasing popularity among teens.

Dig a hole. Put in a seed. Cover it with dirt. Water it. Wait. “See, Laynie,” I explained, “a whole plant will grow from this tiny seed. All we have to do is water it.” Laynie had her own watering can, so she could “help” me in the garden. One day, after everything was watered, she said, “We forgot something, Brad.” She ran to the fence and started sprinkling (洒) water on another spot. I walked over and saw a fresh patch of dirt near the fence. “Did you plant something there?” I asked. “Yes,” she said. “I’m growing a pencil.” She stopped sprinkling. “My purple pencil got too small, so I planted it, the way you said.” “But, Laynie—” “How long does it take to grow a new pencil?” I should have explained things right then, but I just said quietly, “Uh...I never grew one before.” Later I got what seemed like a great idea. I dug up Laynie’s pencil and “planted” a brand-new purple pencil. Laynie was really excited when she saw it. “My pencil grew!” she shouted. She drew pictures with it all afternoon. One day I saw her patting down some dirt, so I knew she’d just planted something. “What is it this time?” I asked. “It’s Molly.” I gasped (倒吸气). Molly was Laynie’s goldfish! “She jumped out of her bowl again,” Laynie said. “Grandma said we didn’t find her in time.” Then Laynie picked up her little watering can and started sprinkling that spot. My heart dropped to my feet when she asked, “How long does it take to grow a goldfish, Brad?” She knelt down to whisper, “Grow, Molly. Grow!” before she skipped back to the house. I sat down with my back to the fence and wondered what I should do then. 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。 Maybe, I could put a live fish on the spot just before Laynie came along. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Laynie buried Molly and planted some “forget-me-not” seeds on the grave (坟墓). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Maybe, I could put a live fish on the spot just before Laynie came along. Or I could sneak a new fish into Molly’s bowl and just say that it grew. I sighed. I knew there was only one right thing to do. When I laid the short pencil, and crayons on the table, Laynie looked confused. Then I explained the whole story to her. “No!” she screamed, red-faced. With a big shove, she knocked everything off the table. But the worst part hadn’t come yet. “Laynie,” I said softly. “Molly isn’t going to grow either.” All of a sudden, she burst into tears. I hugged her tightly and suggested, “How about a funeral for Molly?” Laynie buried Molly and planted some “forget-me-not” seeds on the grave. She watered them every morning. One day I saw Laynie carrying her watering can to the corner of the yard. “I’m growing ‘basketballs’ for you,” she announced, sprinkling a new patch of dirt. When she was gone, I dug up the spot with my bare hands. The “basketball seeds” were small and light, and they smelled like oranges! When I finally stopped laughing, I replanted them. Then I headed for the house to explain gardening to Laynie one more time. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者向妹妹展示怎么种植物，天真的妹妹以为什么东西都可以种，所以她种了铅笔，作者为了维护妹妹的天真，一直悄悄地让妹妹种的东西“长”出来。直到妹妹把金鱼埋到土里作者才解释了真相。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“也许，我可以在蕾妮来之前放一条活鱼。”可知，第一段可描写作者知道不能再骗妹妹了，于是向妹妹解释了自己一直以来的做法，妹妹听到后哭了起来。 ②由第二段首句内容“蕾妮埋了莫莉还在坟上种了些“勿忘我”的种子”可知，第二段可描写作者看到妹妹种植“篮球”，作者再一次向妹妹解释园艺。 2.续写线索：背对栅栏思索——决定告诉真相——拿出偷偷种过的东西——妹妹因无法接受真相而哭泣——提议给金鱼办葬礼——妹妹种了勿忘我——妹妹种篮球——向妹妹再次解释园艺 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/illustrate ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③宣布：announce/declare 情绪类 ①困惑的：confused/puzzled ②柔声地：softly/tenderly 【点睛】[高分句型1] Or I could sneak a new fish into Molly’s bowl and just say that it grew.
