Read on to discover a few of the animals which we have lost for our behaviors. Dodo They were once abundant on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. Larger than turkeys, dodos weighed about 23 kg (about 50 pounds) and had blue- gray plumage and a large head. Portuguese sailors discovered them around 1507. These and subsequent sailors quickly killed the dodo population as an easy source of fresh meat for their voyages. The later introduction of monkeys, pigs, and rats to the island proved disastrous to the birds as the mammals fed on their eggs. The last dodo was killed in 1681. Sadly, very few scientific descriptions or museum specimens (样本) exist. Steller’s Sea Cow Discovered in 1741, Steller’s sea cows once inhabited the near- shore areas of the Komandor Islands in the Bering Sea. Much larger than present- day manatees and dugongs, Steller’s sea cows reached a length of 9-10 meters and weighed around 10 tons. They floated at the surface of the coastal waters but unfortunately had little ability to sink. This made them easy targets for Russian 高三英语 第 3 页，共 9 页 seal hunter. Killing was often wasteful and the species was exterminated (灭绝) by 1768, less than 30 years after it was first discovered. No preserved specimens exist today. Passenger Pigeon The passenger pigeon was hunted to extinction in the early 1900s. Billions of these birds once inhabited eastern North America. As American settlers pressed westward, passenger pigeons were killed by the millions yearly for their meat and shipped by railway carloads for sale in city markets. Hunters often destroyed their nesting grounds and entire colonies in a single breeding season. From 1870 the decline of the species became dramatic. The last known passenger pigeon, named Martha, died on Sept.1,1914 in the Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio. 21．Which of the following statements is true about dodos? A．They were believed to have a short history with less than 170 years. B．Portuguese sailors found them in the 16th century during voyages. C．Animals like monkeys and pigs didn’t threaten dodos’ reproduction. D．They were bigger than turkeys and heavier than Steller’s sea cows. 22．Why were Steller’s sea cows effortlessly hunted? A．Because they were large enough to be spotted by hunters. B．Because they were unable to dive themselves in the water. C．Because they were regarded as prizes by Russian sailors. D．Because they floated at the water surface independently. 23．What do the three animals have in common? A．Human factors speeded up their extermination. B．They all disappeared before the 19th century. C．No preserved specimens of them exist today. D．Their habitats were all in the ocean. B Few can challenge Quan Hongchan on the diving platform. At just 17, she has become China’s diving star, excelling with skills far beyond her age. With five world championships and three Olympic gold medals, including her stunning performance in Paris, Quan is a standout even among China’s dominant diving team, which captured nearly all the gold medals in the 2016 and 2020 Olympics. Her diving technique is so impressive that the Chinese term “shui hua xiao shi shu,” meaning “water splash disappearance technique,” was created to describe her near splashless dives. Born in a small village in Guangdong, Quan’s family faced financial struggles, especially after her mother’s accident. She was discovered in 2014 by coach Chen Huaming, who recognized her jumping ability. By the age of 10, she joined Zhanjiang Sports School, and by 11, she had made it to the Guangdong provincial team. Quan admitted she wasn’t strong in academics but found confidence in diving. Her coach, He Weiyi, praised her for working harder than others and constantly striving for perfection. Quan quickly rose to prominence, winning gold at the Guangdong Junior Championships in 2018 and 2019. By 2020, she was securing national titles and beating world champions. At just 14, she won Olympic gold in Tokyo, setting a new Olympic record. Despite her success, Quan remains humble. After her Olympic victory, she celebrated by eating “Latiao”, her favorite snack, and expressed her dream of owning a supermarket. She’s also a fan of Winter Olympian Eileen Gu, showing her youthful spirit despite her elite status in the 高三英语 第 4 页，共 9 页 sport. Quan is both China’s diving queen and a fun-loving teenager enjoying life while making history. 24．Why does the author mention the term “water splash disappearance technique”? A．To explain how Quan’s technique developed after years of training. B．To show the difficulty of diving, which Quan struggled with early on. C．To emphasize Quan’s exceptional skill that has caught global attention. D．To introduce Quan’s new technique as her weapon to win in competitions. 25．What does the article suggest about Quan’s family background? A．Quan came from a poor family that failed to support her studies. B．Quan’s reduced family situation worsened after her mother’s accident. C．Quan’s family faced issues when diving expenses became too high. D．Quan improved her family’s finances by joining Zhejiang Sports School. 26．What can we learn about Quan from the comment of her coach? A．Quan’s success is mostly due to advanced training methods. B．Quan’s outstanding raw talent requires little effort to perfect. C．Quan’s academic performance matches her excellence in diving skills. D．Quan’s hard work and pursuit of perfection are the keys to her success. 27．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Quan Hongchan: A Rising Young Diving Champion B．Quan Hongchan: The Star Who Conquered Academics C．Quan’s Journey: From Humble Beginnings to Big Dreams D．Water Splash Disappearance: China’s New Diving Technique C The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act calls for 100% of cars produced to be electric vehicles by 2035. But electric vehicles require a chemical element, copper, three to five times more than their gasoline-powered counterparts, not to mention the copper required for upgrades to the electric grid(电网). Adam Simon, professor of earth and environmental studies at the University of Michigan, examined 120 years of global data from mining companies and calculated how much copper the US electricity infrastructure(基础设施) and the US vehicles would need to upgrade to renewable energy, finding that the copper needs would exceed what copper mines can produce at the current rate. The shortfall is in part because of the lengthy permitting process for mining companies, which averages around 20 years. To electrify the global vehicle fleet, six new large mines must be operational annually over the next decade, with 40% of new production used to grid upgrades. “I’ve got solar panels, batteries, and an electric vehicle,” Simon says. “I’m fully on board with the energy transition. However, it needs to be done in a way that’s achievable.” Instead of completely electrifying the US vehicles, the researchers suggest focusing on producing hybrid vehicles. A Toyota Prius, for example, actually has a slightly better impact on climate than a Tesla. Rather than produce 100 million battery electric vehicles globally each year, would it be more practical to focus on building 20 million hybrid ones? “Renewable energy technologies, clean water, wastewater, electricity—it cannot exist without copper. So we then end up with tension between how much copper we need to build 高三英语 第 5 页，共 9 页 infrastructure in less developed countries and how much copper we need for the energy transition,” Simon says. The study highlights that significant progress can be made to reduce emissions in the United States. However, the current emphasis on renewable energy technology producing exceeds copper production capabilities. A mindset shift among environmentalists and policymakers towards mining is crucial to bridge this gap and ensure a sustainable energy transition. 28．What is a challenge to promote The Inflation Reduction Act? A．High cost of grid upgrades. B．Limited availability of copper. C．Great shortage of electric cars. D．Lack of charging infrastructure. 29．How does Simon feel about fully electrifying vehicles in the coming decade? A．Confident. B．Indifferent. C．Certain. D．Skeptical. 30．Why is Toyota Prius mentioned in paragraph 5? A．To advocate the use of hybrid vehicles. B．To highlight the popularity of Toyota cars. C．To criticize the environmental impact of Tesla. D．To prove Toyota Prius is better than other vehicles. 31．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．A solution to copper shortages. B．A bottleneck in energy transition. C．An advantage of electric vehicles. D．An appeal on energy conservation. D That artificial food dyes are unhealthy is not news. Some of the most common additives used to give color to everything are known to affect some children’s ability to learn. But regulatory (管 理的) agencies around the world don’t necessarily agree. That may soon change, thanks in part to increasing consumer pressure. In addition, a report prepared by the state of California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) concluded that synthetic food dyes “cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children”. In response to the report, California is now thinking about requiring warning labels on food products containing the seven most commonly used synthetic dyes. Among them are Red 40, Yellow 5 and Yellow 6, which account for more than 90% of food dye. Restaurants in California would also have to identify menu items containing the additives. “The science is clear,” says Lisa Lefferts, an environmental health consultant. “These synthetic dyes harm children and are completely unnecessary.” What makes the OEHHA report a game changer is that a regulatory agency is on the same page as scientists and advocacy (拥护) groups. “That’s largely because of the quality of the report,” says Lefferts, one of 10 original signatories to the petition. Synthetic dyes are used in foods for one reason: to make products look prettier. Someone likens the practice to“putting cosmetics on food”. Bright colors and fun shapes make candies and cereals appealing, especially to kids. As more research has emerged, consumer pressure has led companies to reformulate products. In 2016, the company began using turmeric, annatto and paprika instead of Yellow 5 and Yellow 6. Around the same time, Chipotle, NestlUSA and a number of other restaurants and manufacturers announced plans to cut back on or stop using synthetic dyes. 32．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．All the regulatory agencies is against the food dyes. 高三英语 第 6 页，共 9 页 B．The use of artificial food dyes are obviously increasing. C．Consumers’ pressure reduces the use of artificial food dyes. D．The agencies don’t know why food dyes are still a problem. 33．Why does OEHHA have power to change the use of artificial food dyes? A．OEHHA is an organization determining the ingredients in food. B．OEHHA prepared an excellent report to state the use of food dyes. C．The government in California support OEHHA to change this situation. D．The excellent report put scientist and advocacy groups stand with OEHHA． 34．Which word can replace the underlined word “reformulate”? A．Restructure. B．Register. C．Reflect. D．Rebuild. 35．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Some scientists don’t agree on using food dyes. B．The use of artificial food dyes may soon change. C．OEHA prepared a report to avoid using food dyes. D．OEHHA cleared the reason why food dyes are used. 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。 Confidence is the capacity to convey your thoughts, emotions, and needs with both directness and respect. Being confident can help you communicate more effectively, build healthier relationships, and achieve your objectives. 36 . ·Practice self-awareness. Developing confidence starts with self- awareness. 37 Identify situations where you tend to react passively or aggressively and try to understand why. Reflect on past interactions and think about how you could have approached them more confidently. This process of self- reflection and awareness will allow you to consciously make confident choices in the future, gradually building a more confident and effective communication style. ·Speak calmly and clearly. The way you speak greatly affects how your message is received. Maintaining a calm and clear tone of voice conveys confidence and helps prevent misunderstandings. 38 And practice speaking in a steady, even tone, especially in stressful situations. This not only helps you stay calm but also ensures that your message is understood clearly. 39 . A powerful way to communicate confidently is to use statements that focus on your feelings and experiences without blaming others. For example, instead of saying, “You never listen to me,” you can say, “I feel unheard when my opinions are refused.” This approach personalizes your feelings and clearly states that you are expressing your own idea, which can reduce defensiveness and promote a more constructive dialogue. ·Take others into consideration. It is necessary to express your own needs in a dialogue. 40 First of all, people are more likely to listen to you and take your idea seriously if they feel valued and understood. Additionally, showing empathy (共鸣) can reduce the likelihood of defensive reactions. Mutual respect leads to more productive interactions overall, as both parties feel heard and appreciated. A．Use “I” statements. 高三英语 第 7 页，共 9 页 B．Use cooperative language. C．Avoid raising your voice or speaking too softly. D．But it’s also important to consider the feelings and opinions of others. E．Here are tips to help you become more comfortable with speaking up. F．Learning to be confident can really change how you interact with others. G．Begin by examining your emotions, triggers (诱因), and typical responses. 第三部分 语言知识与运用(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节：完形填空(共 15 题，每小题 1 分，满分 15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中，选出可以填入空白处 的最佳选项。 I was a city kid, a child of Toronto.

I stopped and saw a side of dogs I’d never experienced. Staring at me, he began to circle me. Scared, I tried to walk away. The moment my back was turned, he seized m y ankle. His teeth locked into my flesh. I screamed and kicked until he let go. I ran home, with the dog chasing me until he gave up near my house. I ran into the house, crying so hard that my mother couldn’t understand what had happened. Once my wounds were cleaned and bandaged (包扎), I told her, “A dog bit me, Mommy. It hurt.” I felt more betrayed than scared—— one of the animals I loved had hurt me for no reason. “I’ll ne ver trust another dog again,” I said. That night, my nightmares grew worse. My fear of dogs grew so intense that I refused to visit my grandfather’s farm, where he had a dog I used to love. I became so terrified that my mom had 高三英语 第 9 页，共 9 页 to walk me past the house where the dog lived every day, and I struggled to focus at school. My te acher contacted my mother and my mom was determined to help me get over this fear. “Gail, you need to overcome this fear,” my mom said as we walked home. “Remember my fri end Emma? She has a black Lab named Chips, and she’s invited us to meet him.” Dread filled me. “No, Mommy, please! I hate dogs. They want to hurt me!” “Not Chips,” she said, smiling. “I promise it won’t happen.” Unwillingly, we went to Emma’s house. My heart raced as she opened the door, revealing Chi ps wagging his tail. “Hello, Chips,” my mom greeted him. As Chips wagged (摇) his tail, I couldn’ t shake off the fear that still remained from the previous attack. I know I should greet him too but I was frozen by fear. 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。 With my mom’s gentle encouragement, I knew I had to try.____________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________ I continued to pat him, feeling something had changed in my mind._____________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________
