NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
The Stories Behind 3 of the Photos from Our Pictures of the Year
Each year, National Geographic will publish a special issue to showcase some of the impressive images taken around the globe to celebrate the high-quality photography. This year, 49 were selected as the best photos of the year out of millions of images, and the photo editors give a glimpse behind the scenes of 3 images included in 2024 Pictures of the Year annual special issue.
Qanaaq, Greenland//Kiliii Yüyan
Photographer Kiliii Yüyan is no stranger to documenting the daily lives of native peoples and the issues they face around the world. He commits himself to capturing surprising and unique images for each story while his colleague Mallory has quit in their tracks. In his story, two cousins push strollers (婴儿车) across a snowy plain in Greenland on their way to annual dogsled races. The story itself challenges readers to think about how to treat their ecosystem (生态系统) without destroying it and gives more insight into the daily lives of Inuit women.
Canary Islands, Spain//Carsten Peter
It’s hard to capture the speed, texture, and sense of danger of lava (岩浆) flowing from a volcanic eruption, but that’s what photographer Carsten Peter achieved with this image. He documented the 85-day eruption for National Geographic, and then returned to focus on the damage and on the scientific fieldwork that had been done once the slow-moving lava had cooled.
Minneriya, Sri Lanka//Brent Stirton
Photographer provided a window into these animals’ lives, which she hopes will increase awareness and stir up sympathy (同情) through the photo. The image was tough to capture not only because Stirton needed to get close to the wild animals for the frame but also because it was a challenging time to work in Sri Lanka. The government was falling apart in economic crisis. “I think there’s an opportunity to show people a side of animals they may have not seen before,” she says.

B
On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals (冰晶) fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind (下风处) of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought,” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit (官司) against cloud-seeding companies. Therefore, private climate engineering can continue in relative legal safety.
24. What does the project aim to do?
A. Conserve moisture in the soil. B. Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C. Forecast disastrous hailstorms. D. Investigate chemical use in farming.
25. Who are opposed to the project?
A. Farmers in east-central Alberta. B. Managers of insurance companies.
C. Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
26. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999?
A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods.
B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
D. To show the link between storms and moisture.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right.
B. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared.
D. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了加拿大艾伯塔省的冰雹抑制项目,该项目引发农民担忧,各方对此看法不一。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals (冰晶) fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. (因此,自1996年以来,一组保险公司每年在艾伯塔省冰雹抑制项目上花费约200万美元。飞机向有威胁的风暴云团播撒一种化学物质,使小冰晶在长成危险的冰雹之前以雨的形式落下)”可知,该项目的目的是防止冰雹的形成。故选B项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But farmers in east central Alberta — downwind (下风处) of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding. (但位于冰雹项目飞行路线下风处的艾伯塔省中东部的农民担心,人工降雨正在从他们干旱的土地上夺走宝贵的水分)”可知,艾伯塔省中东部的农民担心这一项目会从他们干旱的土地上夺走宝贵的水分,所以他们会反对该项目。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“‘In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,’ Dr.Doswell says. ‘Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.’ (多斯韦尔博士说:‘1999年,我亲眼目睹了堪萨斯州一个播撒了云种的风暴云团形成了巨大的龙卷风。人工降雨会引发致命风暴或减少下风处的水分吗?当然,没有人真正知道,但播撒仍在继续。’)”可知,多斯韦尔博士提到他1999年看到的龙卷风是为了指出人工降雨可能存在的危险,会引发致命风暴。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit (官司) against cloud seeding companies. Therefore, private climate engineering can continue in relative legal safety. (由于缺乏关于其影响的科学证据,没有人成功打赢过针对人工降雨公司的官司。因此,私人气候工程可以在相对合法安全的情况下继续进行)”可知,针对人工降雨公司的官司没有胜算,所以它将继续存在。故选D项。
C
In the midst of an already record-breaking heat wave, Phoenix, Arizona, set a particularly eye-popping record: the temperature only dropped to 97 degrees Fahrenheit overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday, setting an all-time record high for a nighttime low. When temperatures stay high overnight, they place a particularly heavy burden on the body, raising the risk of heat illness and death.
The U.S. —and the world—has seen a spate of extreme heat so far this year, including the planet’s hottest-ever June and hottest week on record during the first week of July. Rising global temperatures from burning fossil fuels are the main driver of more frequent and more intense heat waves. And an El Niño event is also boosting global temperatures this year.
A heat dome has been in place for weeks over the U.S. Southwest and Texas, and it has fueled many heat records. Phoenix has now seen 20 days in a row with a daytime high of 110 degrees F or higher, a record that is likely to continue for several more days. A heat dome is an area of high pressure that parks over a region. High-pressure ridges, as they are also called, feature sinking air, which compresses and heats up. These ridges’ typical clear skies also allow the sun’s rays to beat down on the ground, further raising temperatures.
Prolonged heat extremes pose a major public health threat because heat is the number-one weather-related killer in the U.S.; it causes more human deaths than hurricanes, tornadoes and floods combined. Heat can cause dehydration, which leads the blood to thicken and makes the heart pump harder. That organ and others can be damaged by too much exposure to heat.
The soaring, triple-digit high daily temperatures grab the headlines, and they definitely are a concern—but when temperatures only drop into the 80s and 90s at night, the body doesn’t get a chance to cool down. This is particularly a concern for those who lack air-conditioning, including unhoused populations. And heat is especially a health risk for the very young, the elderly and those with preexisting health conditions such as asthma and heart disease.
28. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?
A. Extreme temperatures can cause damage to our hearts.
B. Burning fossil fuels contributes to the hottest-ever June and July.
C. El Nino is the dominant cause of soaring global temperature.
D. The temperature at night has reached a record high in Phoenix, Arizona.
29. What is a heat dome according to the passage?
A. It’s a weather phenomenon that contributes to high temperatures.
B. It’s a peak that the low pressure should reach.
C. It’s the damage caused by too much exposure to heat.
D. It’s the extra heat trapped in the sinking air.
30. According to the passage, what’s the influence high overnight temperature has on humans?
A. It is the top one killer in America. B. Exposure to heat contributes to heart diseases.
C. Human organs might be impaired. D. People accommodate to 80s and 90s Fahrenheit at night.
31. What’s the passage mainly talking about?
A. Soaring temperatures are hitting the headlines. B. Anew eye popping overnight low record is set.
C. Hot overnight temperatures threaten human health. D. Global heat waves are causing concerns.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了全球变暖导致的夜间极高温对人类健康带来了威胁。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“In the midst of an already record-breaking heat wave, Phoenix, Arizona, set a particularly eye-popping record: the temperature only dropped to 97 degrees Fahrenheit overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday, setting an all-time record high for a nighttime low.”(在已经破纪录的热浪中,亚利桑那州凤凰城创造了一个特别令人瞠目结舌的纪录:周二至周三夜间,气温仅降至华氏97度,创下了夜间最低气温的历史最高纪录。)可推知,亚利桑那州凤凰城夜间气温创历史新高。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“A heat dome is an area of high pressure that parks over a region. High-pressure ridges, as they are also called, feature sinking air, which compresses and heats up. These ridges’ typical clear skies also allow the sun’s rays to beat down on the ground, further raising temperatures.”(热穹顶是一个区域上空的高压区域。它们也被称为高压脊,其特征是下沉的空气被压缩和加热。这些山脊典型的晴朗天空也允许太阳光线照射在地面上,进一步提高温度。)可知,这是一种停留在某一区域的高气压,会导致温度上升,是一种导致高温的天气现象。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Heat can cause dehydration, which leads the blood to thicken and makes the heart pump harder. That organ and others can be damaged by too much exposure to heat.”(高温会导致脱水,导致血液变稠,使心脏跳动更困难。这个器官和其他器官会因过度暴露在高温下而受损。)可知,夜间高温对人类的影响是人体器官可能受损。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“In the midst of an already record-breaking heat wave, Phoenix, Arizona, set a particularly eye-popping record: the temperature only dropped to 97 degrees Fahrenheit overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday, setting an all-time record high for a nighttime low. When temperatures stay high overnight, they place a particularly heavy burden on the body, raising the risk of heat illness and death.”(在已经破纪录的热浪中,亚利桑那州凤凰城创造了一个特别令人瞠目结舌的纪录:周二至周三夜间,气温仅降至华氏97度,创下了夜间最低气温的历史最高纪录。当气温整夜保持在高位时,会给身体带来特别沉重的负担,增加中暑和死亡的风险。)可知,文章主要介绍了亚利桑那州的夜间温度创下了记录高温,仅下降到97华氏度,对人类的健康构成威胁。故选C项。
D
A year after Walt Disney made history with the release of Snow While and the Seven Dwarfs, his artists were struggling to find the right design for the woodland backgrounds of Bambi, the coming-of-age tale of a young deer. The film’s production team realized they needed an alternative to the style in their first feature length animated film. Soon they got their inspiration from Tyrus Wong, whose work was on display at New York City’s Museum of Chinese in American Wong, an immigrant (移民) from Taishan, China, arrived in California at 9 with his father in 1919. Wong eventually settled near Los Angeles, where he developed his passions for art and drawing and got trained at the Otis Art Institute.
In 1938, The Walt Disney Studio hired him to draw the frames between the main drawings of the animators. Wong soon learned that the studio was trying to turn Felix Salten’s novel Bambi into an animated film. After reading the story, he saw an opportunity to break out of his boring job.
Inspired by Chinese landscape paintings, he used watercolor and crayons that created the forest scenes with simple strokes (笔画) of color and special attention 10 light and shadow. Wong’s skills caught Disney’s eye and became the guide for Bambi s background artists, who were later trained to mimic (效仿) his style.
By the time Bambi hit theaters in 1942, a strike at The Walt Disney Studio had left Wong jobless after three years of working on the project. He later became an illustrator for Warner Bros, where he worked for more than two decades.
“People admire his work because of Bambi, but Bambi was just a rally small part of his art life,” said Wong’s youngest daughter. “He considers himself not a great artist but a lucky artist, who was at the right place at the right time.”
32. Why did Tyrus Wong catch the attention of The Walt Disney Studio?
A. His painting style fitted Bambi. B. He impressed the studio with honors.
C. He was fond of taking photos. D. His work won popularity with students.
33. How did Tyrus Wong probably feel about filming Bambi?
A. Annoyed. B. Fearful. C. Excited. D. Regretful.
34. What can we infer about Tyrus Wong from the text?
A. He is generous. B. He is demanding. C. He is humorous. D. He is productive.
35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Business. B. Science. C. Culture. D. Health.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。美籍华裔动画师Tyrus Wong(黄齐耀)将中国水墨画风融入迪斯尼的动画设计中,凭借其出色的水墨画协助《小鹿斑比》的制作。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A year after Walt Disney made history with the release of Snow While and the Seven Dwarfs, his artists were struggling to find the right design for the woodland backgrounds of Bambi, the coming-of-age tale of a young deer. The film’s production team realized they needed an alternative to the style in their first feature length animated film. Soon they got their inspiration from Tyrus Wong, whose work was on display at New York City’s Museum of Chinese in American Wong, an immigrant (移民) from Taishan, China, arrived in California at 9 with his father in 1919.(在华特·迪士尼凭借《白雪公主和七个小矮人》创造历史的一年后,他的艺术家们正在努力为《小鹿斑比》的林地背景寻找合适的设计。《小鹿斑比》是一只小鹿的成长故事。这部电影的制作团队意识到,在他们的第一部长片动画电影中,他们需要一种替代这种风格的风格。很快,他们从Tyrus Wong那里得到了灵感,黄家卫的作品正在纽约市的美国华人博物馆展出。黄家卫是来自中国泰山的移民,1919年9岁时随父亲来到加州)”以及第三段“Inspired by Chinese landscape paintings, he used watercolor and crayons that created the forest scenes with simple strokes (笔画) of color and special attention 10 light and shadow. Wong’s skills caught Disney’s eye and became the guide for Bambi s background artists, who were later trained to mimic (效仿) his style.(受中国山水画的启发,他使用水彩和蜡笔,以简单的笔触和特别注意光和影来创造森林场景。Wong的技巧引起了迪士尼的注意,并成为《小鹿斑比》背景艺术家的指导,他们后来接受了模仿小鹿斑比风格的培训)”可知,Tyrus Wong的绘画风格恰好与《小鹿斑比》预期的效果吻合,因而获得迪斯尼的青睐。故选A。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Watching a movie can be a magical experience, but do you know that the music in the films we watch has always been an important part of creating that magical experience?___36___
The first commercial film with sound came out in 1927. ___37___Even back in the early days of silent films,most movie theatres hired a musician or a group of musicians to provide music, mostly to drown out the sound of the film projectors (放映机) and people talking.
As sound-on-film technology developed, composers were hired to create original music for films. Like music written for an opera,film music serves to advance the story and the action. ___38___ In the same way, a film composer needs to support the screenplay’s storyline. The music also needs to reflect the screenplay’s mood, which includes everything from the action on the screen to sound effects to dialogue.
Music has a language of its own. The right piece of music can improve and sometimes even change a viewer’s ideas of what is taking place onscreen. Most of the time, music is used to stress the action onscreen, improve the mood of a scene, foreshadow action that is about to take place or even show the emotion of a character. ___39___ But in many instances the emotional power of the visuals would not be as great were it not for the music.
___40___ Ask yourself, “How would this scene feel if the music were different? Is the composer trying to tell me how I should feel? Or are they merely pushing me in an emotional direction?”
A. So, how is the film music created?
B. Without it, it would be hard to imagine the scene.
C. An opera composer must follow the text of the opera.
D. Usually, composers and filmmakers don’t want to overshadow a film.
E. So the next time you watch a movie, pay close attention to the music.
F. The music in a film makes you cheer for the hero and cry at the drama.
G. Since then, music has been powerfully linked to the movie-watching experience.
【答案】36. B 37. G 38. C 39. D 40. E

【39题详解】
根据下文“But in many instances the emotional power of the visuals would not be as great were it not for the music. (但在许多情况下,如果没有音乐,视觉效果的情感力量就不会那么强大)”可知,空处与下文为转折关关系,说明了作曲家和电影人不希望看到的效果。故D选项“通常情况下,作曲家和电影人都不想让音乐盖过电影的风头”切题。故选D项。
【40题详解】
根据下文“Ask yourself, “How would this scene feel if the music were different? Is the composer trying to tell me how I should feel? Or are they merely pushing me in an emotional direction?” (问问自己,“如果音乐不同,这个场景会有什么感觉?作曲家是想告诉我应该有什么感觉吗?还是他们只是在把我推向情绪化的方向?”)”可知,要多多注意音乐要表达的作用。故E选项“所以下次你看电影的时候,要注意音乐”切题。故选E项。

67. 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。
I remember a time when I learned the true meaning of forgiveness. It was a period in my life that tested my patience and my ability to understand others.
It all started when I was in middle school. I had a close friend named Emily, and we spent a lot of time together. One day, Emily introduced me to a new girl in our class, named Olivia. Olivia was quiet and shy, but we quickly became friends as well.
One afternoon, after school, we were all working on a project in the classroom. As we were discussing our ideas, Olivia suddenly exclaimed out something that completely contradicted what I had been saying. I was shocked and felt a little embarrassed. I tried to explain my point of view, but Olivia was very stubborn and insisted on her own idea.
Emily, who was sitting next to me, tried to mediate (调节) the situation. But Olivia got angry and said some unkind words to me. I was hurt and angry, and I couldn’t believe that Olivia would treat me like that. I stormed out of the classroom, leaving Emily and Olivia behind.
The next few days were very difficult for me. I avoided Olivia as much as possible, and our friendship with Emily seemed to be stressed. I felt like I had been betrayed by Olivia, and I couldn’t understand why she would do such a thing.
One day, I asked Emily why she was still friends with Olivia after what she had done. Emily looked at me with a sad expression and said, “You know, Olivia has been through a lot lately. Her parents are going through a divorce, and she’s really struggling. Maybe she was rude to you because she was feeling overwhelmed and insecure.”
Hearing this, I felt a surge of guilt. I realized that I hadn’t taken the time to understand Olivia’s situation. I had been too quick to judge her and too focused on my own feelings of hurt. I decided to talk to Olivia and apologize for my behavior.

【答案】Possible version:
When I found Olivia, she was sitting alone in the hallway. I walked towards her slowly, my heart pounding. As I reached her, I took a deep breath and sat down beside her. She looked up at me, her eyes filled with sadness and uncertainty. I began to speak, telling her how sorry I was for my actions and for not being more understanding. I expressed my realization that we all have our struggles and that I should have been more empathetic. Olivia listened quietly, and as I finished, a small smile appeared on her face.
Olivia accepted my apology and we had a long conversation. She opened up to me about her feelings during that difficult time. I listened attentively, feeling a deep connection with her. We talked about how we could move forward and support each other. We also discussed the importance of forgiveness and how it can heal relationships. As we ended our conversation, I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. I knew that our friendship would be stronger than ever, and that this experience had taught me a valuable lesson about empathy and forgiveness.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
The Stories Behind 3 of the Photos from Our Pictures of the Year
Each year, National Geographic will publish a special issue to showcase some of the impressive images taken around the globe to celebrate the high-quality photography. This year, 49 were selected as the best photos of the year out of millions of images, and the photo editors give a glimpse behind the scenes of 3 images included in 2024 Pictures of the Year annual special issue.
Qanaaq, Greenland//Kiliii Yüyan
Photographer Kiliii Yüyan is no stranger to documenting the daily lives of native peoples and the issues they face around the world. He commits himself to capturing surprising and unique images for each story while his colleague Mallory has quit in their tracks. In his story, two cousins push strollers (婴儿车) across a snowy plain in Greenland on their way to annual dogsled races. The story itself challenges readers to think about how to treat their ecosystem (生态系统) without destroying it and gives more insight into the daily lives of Inuit women.
Canary Islands, Spain//Carsten Peter
It’s hard to capture the speed, texture, and sense of danger of lava (岩浆) flowing from a volcanic eruption, but that’s what photographer Carsten Peter achieved with this image. He documented the 85-day eruption for National Geographic, and then returned to focus on the damage and on the scientific fieldwork that had been done once the slow-moving lava had cooled.
Minneriya, Sri Lanka//Brent Stirton
Photographer provided a window into these animals’ lives, which she hopes will increase awareness and stir up sympathy (同情) through the photo. The image was tough to capture not only because Stirton needed to get close to the wild animals for the frame but also because it was a challenging time to work in Sri Lanka. The government was falling apart in economic crisis. “I think there’s an opportunity to show people a side of animals they may have not seen before,” she says.

A. They all take efforts and patience.
B. They are all about the environment.

On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals (冰晶) fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind (下风处) of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought,” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit (官司) against cloud-seeding companies. Therefore, private climate engineering can continue in relative legal safety.
24. What does the project aim to do?
A. Conserve moisture in the soil. B. Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C. Forecast disastrous hailstorms. D. Investigate chemical use in farming.
25. Who are opposed to the project?
A. Farmers in east-central Alberta. B. Managers of insurance companies.
C. Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
26. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999?
A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods.
B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
D. To show the link between storms and moisture.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right.
B. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared.
D. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.
C
In the midst of an already record-breaking heat wave, Phoenix, Arizona, set a particularly eye-popping record: the temperature only dropped to 97 degrees Fahrenheit overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday, setting an all-time record high for a nighttime low. When temperatures stay high overnight, they place a particularly heavy burden on the body, raising the risk of heat illness and death.
The U.S. —and the world—has seen a spate of extreme heat so far this year, including the planet’s hottest-ever June and hottest week on record during the first week of July. Rising global temperatures from burning fossil fuels are the main driver of more frequent and more intense heat waves. And an El Niño event is also boosting global temperatures this year.
A heat dome has been in place for weeks over the U.S. Southwest and Texas, and it has fueled many heat records. Phoenix has now seen 20 days in a row with a daytime high of 110 degrees F or higher, a record that is likely to continue for several more days. A heat dome is an area of high pressure that parks over a region. High-pressure ridges, as they are also called, feature sinking air, which compresses and heats up. These ridges’ typical clear skies also allow the sun’s rays to beat down on the ground, further raising temperatures.
Prolonged heat extremes pose a major public health threat because heat is the number-one weather-related killer in the U.S.; it causes more human deaths than hurricanes, tornadoes and floods combined. Heat can cause dehydration, which leads the blood to thicken and makes the heart pump harder. That organ and others can be damaged by too much exposure to heat.
The soaring, triple-digit high daily temperatures grab the headlines, and they definitely are a concern—but when temperatures only drop into the 80s and 90s at night, the body doesn’t get a chance to cool down. This is particularly a concern for those who lack air-conditioning, including unhoused populations. And heat is especially a health risk for the very young, the elderly and those with preexisting health conditions such as asthma and heart disease.
28. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?
A. Extreme temperatures can cause damage to our hearts.
B. Burning fossil fuels contributes to the hottest-ever June and July.
C. El Nino is the dominant cause of soaring global temperature.
D. The temperature at night has reached a record high in Phoenix, Arizona.
29. What is a heat dome according to the passage?
A. It’s a weather phenomenon that contributes to high temperatures.
B. It’s a peak that the low pressure should reach.
C. It’s the damage caused by too much exposure to heat.
D. It’s the extra heat trapped in the sinking air.
30. According to the passage, what’s the influence high overnight temperature has on humans?
A. It is the top one killer in America. B. Exposure to heat contributes to heart diseases.
C. Human organs might be impaired. D. People accommodate to 80s and 90s Fahrenheit at night.
31. What’s the passage mainly talking about?
A. Soaring temperatures are hitting the headlines. B. Anew eye popping overnight low record is set.
C. Hot overnight temperatures threaten human health. D. Global heat waves are causing concerns.

A year after Walt Disney made history with the release of Snow While and the Seven Dwarfs, his artists were struggling to find the right design for the woodland backgrounds of Bambi, the coming-of-age tale of a young deer. The film’s production team realized they needed an alternative to the style in their first feature length animated film. Soon they got their inspiration from Tyrus Wong, whose work was on display at New York City’s Museum of Chinese in American Wong, an immigrant (移民) from Taishan, China, arrived in California at 9 with his father in 1919. Wong eventually settled near Los Angeles, where he developed his passions for art and drawing and got trained at the Otis Art Institute.
In 1938, The Walt Disney Studio hired him to draw the frames between the main drawings of the animators. Wong soon learned that the studio was trying to turn Felix Salten’s novel Bambi into an animated film. After reading the story, he saw an opportunity to break out of his boring job.
Inspired by Chinese landscape paintings, he used watercolor and crayons that created the forest scenes with simple strokes (笔画) of color and special attention 10 light and shadow. Wong’s skills caught Disney’s eye and became the guide for Bambi s background artists, who were later trained to mimic (效仿) his style.
By the time Bambi hit theaters in 1942 a strike at The Walt Disney Studio had left Wong jobless after three years of working on the project. He later became an illustrator for Warner Bros, where he worked for more than two decades.
“People admire his work because of Bambi, but Bambi was just a rally small part of his art life,” said Wong’s youngest daughter. “He considers himself not a great artist but a lucky artist, who was at the right place at the right time.”
32. Why did Tyrus Wong catch the attention of The Walt Disney Studio?
A. His painting style fitted Bambi. B. He impressed the studio with honors.
C. He was fond of taking photos. D. His work won popularity with students.
33. How did Tyrus Wong probably feel about filming Bambi?
A. Annoyed. B. Fearful. C. Excited. D. Regretful.
34. What can we infer about Tyrus Wong from the text?
A. He is generous. B. He is demanding. C. He is humorous. D. He is productive.
35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Business. B. Science. C. Culture. D. Health.

Watching a movie can be a magical experience, but do you know that the music in the films we watch has always been an important part of creating that magical experience?___36___
The first commercial film with sound came out in 1927. ___37___Even back in the early days of silent films,most movie theatres hired a musician or a group of musicians to provide music, mostly to drown out the sound of the film projectors (放映机) and people talking.
As sound-on-film technology developed, composers were hired to create original music for films. Like music written for an opera,film music serves to advance the story and the action. ___38___ In the same way, a film composer needs to support the screenplay’s storyline. The music also needs to reflect the screenplay’s mood, which includes everything from the action on the screen to sound effects to dialogue.
Music has a language of its own. The right piece of music can improve and sometimes even change a viewer’s ideas of what is taking place onscreen. Most of the time, music is used to stress the action onscreen, improve the mood of a scene, foreshadow action that is about to take place or even show the emotion of a character. ___39___ But in many instances the emotional power of the visuals would not be as great were it not for the music.
___40___ Ask yourself, “How would this scene feel if the music were different? Is the composer trying to tell me how I should feel? Or are they merely pushing me in an emotional direction?”
A. So, how is the film music created?
B. Without it, it would be hard to imagine the scene.
C. An opera composer must follow the text of the opera.
D. Usually, composers and filmmakers don’t want to overshadow a film.
E. So the next time you watch a movie, pay close attention to the music.
F. The music in a film makes you cheer for the hero and cry at the drama.
G. Since then, music has been powerfully linked to the movie-watching experience.

I remember a time when I learned the true meaning of forgiveness. It was a period in my life that tested my patience and my ability to understand others.
It all started when I was in middle school. I had a close friend named Emily, and we spent a lot of time together. One day, Emily introduced me to a new girl in our class, named Olivia. Olivia was quiet and shy, but we quickly became friends as well.
One afternoon, after school, we were all working on a project in the classroom. As we were discussing our ideas, Olivia suddenly exclaimed out something that completely contradicted what I had been saying. I was shocked and felt a little embarrassed. I tried to explain my point of view, but Olivia was very stubborn and insisted on her own idea.
Emily, who was sitting next to me, tried to mediate (调节) the situation. But Olivia got angry and said some unkind words to me. I was hurt and angry, and I couldn’t believe that Olivia would treat me like that. I stormed out of the classroom, leaving Emily and Olivia behind.
The next few days were very difficult for me. I avoided Olivia as much as possible, and our friendship with Emily seemed to be stressed. I felt like I had been betrayed by Olivia, and I couldn’t understand why she would do such a thing.
One day, I asked Emily why she was still friends with Olivia after what she had done. Emily looked at me with a sad expression and said, “You know, Olivia has been through a lot lately. Her parents are going through a divorce, and she’s really struggling. Maybe she was rude to you because she was feeling overwhelmed and insecure.”
Hearing this, I felt a surge of guilt. I realized that I hadn’t taken the time to understand Olivia’s situation. I had been too quick to judge her and too focused on my own feelings of hurt. I decided to talk to Olivia and apologize for my behavior.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 个左右;

When I found Olivia, she was sitting alone in the hallway.
