第四题书面表达:
Dear fellow students,
At present, our school is carrying out an activity called "Building a Beautiful Campus", and
I am here to call on everyone to take an active part in it.
An attractive campus can make our learning pleasant and improve our grades. However,
some students can be seen running on the lawn, picking flowers or throwing rubbish everywhere,
which have already harmed our school environment. It’s time we did something to change the
situation. From my perspective, everyone is responsible for the beauty of our campus. Besides, if
we all avoid doing anything improper, our campus will become more beautiful.
Every effort matters. Let’s take action now.
the Students' Union

Finally, opening night arrived. The lights dimmed, and the audience fell silent as the
curtain rose. The stage was now a magical fairy tale world, with a stunning castle and vibrant
scenery. The actors were all in high spirits with such a great backdrop.Kristie's performance was
even more captivating with the new and improved sets. After the final bow, Kristie ran over and
hugged me tightly. She said the sets made her feel like a real princess. (77词)

M:I personally prefer looking through the local paper.We can take a look in the For Rent section.
W:That sounds like a great plan.Let's hope we can find something good!
(Text 10)
W:What's thought to be the oldest message in a bottle yet found has been picked upon a beach in Western Australia Tonya and her family were walking along the beach and trying to help pick up some rubbish when she discovered a glass bottle with a damp note inside. She suspected it was a trick.But she kept the bottle thinking it might look good on her bookcase.
She put it in her oven to dry out the paper note. Later, she noticed faint handwriting on the note,with a date of 12 June 1886 and the name of the ship, Paula.It also gave the geographical position of the ship,which had been sailing in the Indian Ocean nearly 600 miles away.A little more detective work online and some help from the Museum of Western Australia help to confirm the find was real.The ship had been traveling from Cardiff to Indonesia.The bottle would have been thrown overboard by the crew as part of an experiment by the German Naval Observatory to track global ocean currents
The note instructed the finder to send it back to Hamburg.The bottle will however stay in Australia and go on display in the museum in Perth.

Julia Butterfly Hill worked at a restaurant. For many years, she was only interested in making
money. Then one day she had a serious car accident, which changed her life. Hill said: “I realized
I wanted to find a more powerful purpose for being here on this planet.”
As soon as she recovered, Hill traveled to California and she wanted to do something
meaningful. There she saw ancient redwood trees, which are the largest trees in the whole world.
The wood from redwood trunks is very hard. So the Pacific Lumber Company cut down many of
the huge redwoods to use for construction. There are not many forests of these trees left. Many
environmental activists want to protect the remaining trees. The redwoods are very important to
the environment.
In 2012, Hill learned a group called Earth First was working to protect a particular group of
trees. They decided to send someone up into a redwood tree, hoping this would stop the company
from cutting the trees down. Julia Butterfly Hill volunteered.
Hill lived in the tree for over two years without ever coming down. Her home was a 6-by-8-foot
tree house, 180 feet up. It is always cold and wet in a redwood tree. There were even very serious
winter storms while Hill was in the tree. The wind and cold almost knocked Hill out of the tree.
But she did not fall — she survived.
Finally, after years of arguing, the company decided to protect Luna, the tree Hill lived in. They
signed an agreement to never cut down this huge redwood tree or the trees around it. When Hill
put her feet on the earth again, she began to cry. But from that moment on Hill hasn’t stopped
working to protect the environment.
24.What made Hill think about doing something meaningful?
A.A car accident. B.A forest fire.
C.A redwood tree. D.A serious disease.
25.What problem did Hill find in California?
A.The Pacific Lumber Company lost much money.
B.People could only use the redwoods for construction.
C.Environmental activists didn’t work together.
D.The redwoods were disappearing quickly.
26.How were Julia Butterfly Hill’s living conditions in the tree?
A.Comfortable. B.Tough. C.Cool. D.Satisfying.
27.Which of the following is NOT true about Julia Butterfly Hill?
A.She once lived in a redwood tree for over two years.
B.She had a sense of social responsibility.
C.She continued working to protect the environment.
D.She finally gave in to the Pacific Lumber Company.

The San Diego Zoo is celebrating an extreme rare event: the arrival of 41 Indian
narrow-headed softshell turtles. This is the first time the species, which is native to South Asia,
has been successfully bred (繁殖) in North America.
The turtles typically live at the bottom of deep rivers and streams in northern India, Pakistan,
Bangladesh, and Nepal. Adults can grow up to 3.6 feet long and weigh as much as 440 pounds.
During monsoon (季风) months in central India and dry months in other regions, the turtles lay up
to 190 eggs in a nest on the beach and cover it with dirt to protect the eggs. When the babies hatch,
they can fit in a person’s palm, at 1.5 inches long.
he San Diego Zoo got its first two Indian narrow-headed softshell turtles in 1997. The zoo
planned to breed them and hoped to learn more about the species, whose numbers had begun to
drop due to pollution, destruction of their habitats, and capture by humans for their eggs, meat, or
use as pets. The species is listed as endangered, and researchers don’t know how many remain in
the wild.
After learning that it only had female turtles, the zoo added a male to the habitat in 2001.
Staff have been waiting for over 20 years to see if the turtles would breed. This summer,
zookeepers found four nests in the enclosure. They hatched 11 turtles in August. Then, in
September, staff members found 30 more tiny turtles in a nest they hadn’t noticed. “They are kind
of cute,” said Kim Gray, head of the zoo.
The babies were moved to an indoor habitat where they can be protected and studied. The
zoo plans to give about a half of the baby turtles to other zoos and aquariums that want to help
protect the species. “This is a thrilling moment for us,” Gray said, “and a big step forward in the
preservation of this species.”
28.What is the main purpose of paragraph 2?
A.To highlight the importance of protecting the turtles.
B.To investigate the living environment of the turtles.
C.To show the major stages of the turtles’ growth.
D.To give a general description of the turtles.
29.What factor has contributed to the drop in turtles’ numbers?
A.The serious lack of food. B.The slow process of growth.
C.The heavy loss of habitats. D.The illegal trade for profits.
30.What is Kim Gray’s attitude towards the protection of the turtles?
A.Positive. B.Concerned. C.Dissatisfied. D.Doubtful.
31.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Zoo Celebrates A Rare Event
B.Turtles Make Successful Return
C.Summer Witnesses An Amazing Step
D.Zookeepers Preserve Endangered Species

“For thousands of years, humans have raced to be the first to scale a peak, cross a frontier or
document a new species or landscape. Now, in some cases, we’re racing to be the last,” said The
New York Times’ Paige McClanahan.
In recent years, a growing industry has been spurred on ( 刺 激 ) by climate change –
last-chance tourism. According to Eco Sustainable Solutions, a UK-based organic recycling and
waste processing company, last-chance tourism is a kind of tourism geared toward seeing the last
of something due to climate change. As temperatures and water levels rise, this could mean
seizing the last chance to see the Great Barrier Reef, an Arctic glacier and a remote island that is
sinking.
As millions of tourists rush to imperiled destinations, some are taking advantage of the
increased demand to spread environmental awareness. One tourist spot, Charmonix’s Mer de
Glace or “Sea of Ice” in France, opened an exhibit in 2012 to educate visitors on glaciers and
climate change. This educational push seems to be having an impact, as a 2020 survey showed
that 80 percent of the visitors would “try to learn more about the environment and how to protect
it” while 77 percent said they would reduce their water and energy use.
However, the last-chance tourism industry may also be harmful. As more and more people
flock (蜂拥) into these areas in a panic to see them before they’re gone, they in fact contribute to
the increased greenhouse gas emissions and overtourism, leading to their destruction.
Many scholars are calling last-chance tourism a paradox ( 悖 论 ). Although tourists may
acknowledge the broader risks and importance of climate change, it’s even more important to
connect the responsibility of the individual tourism to climate change.
32. What has contributed to the boom of last-chance tourism, according to the text?
A. Increased publicity. B. Global warming.
C. Environmental awareness. D. Economic development.
33. What does the underlined word “imperiled” in the third paragraph most likely mean?
A. Endangered. B. Preserved.
C. Popular. D. Remote.
34. Why does the author mention Charmonix’s Mer de Glace?
A. To show the positive effect of climate change.
B. To demonstrate its success in environmental conservation.
C. To discuss a potential benefit of last-chance tourism.
D. To highlight the impact of climate education.
35. Which of the following best describes last-chance tourism?
A. It is environmentally friendly.
B. It helps address climate change.
C. It is a double-edged sword.
D. It does more harm than good.

For many of us, work diaries are practical things. We use them to make note of appointments
or meetings, writing words next to dates to remind us of what we need to do later. But journaling
is also about feelings. It’s a personal diary, often kept far from prying eyes, sometimes containing
our secrets and desires. 36. ____________.
It can be difficult to say exactly what we’re feeling due to anxiety or frustration. For some of
us, putting pen to paper and jotting down our thoughts is much easier than saying them. 37.
____________.It can be relieving to make sense of something which is stressing us out,
annoying us or getting us down.
Writing about what is on our minds can help us to be more mindful. It is also good for mental
health overall. 38. ____________. Maybe our thoughts could be best represented by a drawing.
Another thing to consider is that our memories fade over time. 39. ____________. Logging
what’s happening in our lives currently could help bring back memories when we read our diary
entries again years from now, or could act as an insight into our past-selves. We can see our
{#{QQABDQ
progress, or be reminded of exciting times in our lives. The person who was once annoying may
have become a close friend, or something that was once scary may now seem funny.
40. ____________. If something exciting happens, writing about it may help us to
remember that wonderful time!
A. And journaling isn’t just limited to words.
B. Journaling is not a record of only happy moments.
C. But what are the benefits of writing down our feelings?
D. It’s about allowing ourselves to learn from our mistakes.
E. So, when something is on our minds, we should put it down on paper.
F. What is clear on our minds today may be forgotten a few years down the line.
G. Not just that, but writing things down can help us to understand our ideas, emotions and
feelings.

第二节 读后续写(满分 10 分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短
文。
The day after school, Mom asked what part I got in the tryouts (选拔). I told her Kristie got
Cinderella’s (灰姑娘) part but I, Mary, got none. I ran to my room and started drawing. Drawing
always makes me feel better.
The next day when the last bell rang, Kristie became nervous (紧张的). She asked whether I
could stay with her. I wanted to say no, but then I realized I had signed myself up for the late bus
because I thought I’d be in the play. So I stayed. I sat in the third row, wishing I were in my room
drawing.
I saw Ms. Carson pulled a cardboard (硬纸板) castle onto the middle of the stage. It was
brown with small windows and doors. That was the sets(布景), which was not good enough
compared to Kristie’s perfect performance. With the he curtain coming down. Ms. Carson said the
rest would go on the next day. Noticing Kristie’s worry, Ms. Carson said, “We don’t have an art
teacher this term. So that’s the best we could do.”
Seeing my friend still so worried, I decided to do something.
I got started right away. I went to the art room and gathered all the materials I could find -
paints, glitter, and colored papers. Back at the hall, I started painting the cardboard castle. I added
bright colors to the walls, made the windows look like they had stained glass, and used glitter to
create a magical sparkle. I cut out little turrets from the colored papers and attached them. It took
me several hours, but when I was done, the castle looked like it was straight out of a fairy tale.
