B Surviving Hurricane Sandy (飓风桑迪) Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says. On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed. When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn. In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings. “My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.” Natalie’s choice was to help. She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced. In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change. Today, the scars (创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.” 24. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found ______. A. some friends had lost their lives. B. her neighborhood was destroyed. C. her school had moved to Brooklyn. D. the elderly were free from suffering. 25. According to paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most? A. The people helping Rockaway rebuild. B. The people trapped in high-rise building. C. The volunteers donating money to survivors. D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people. 26. How did Natalie help the survivors? A. She gave her toys to the kids. B. She took care of younger children. C. She called on the White House to help. D. She built an information sharing platform. 27. What does the story intend to tell us? A. Little people can make a big difference. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. East or West, home is best. D. Technology is power. C When Shanghai introduced a new garbage-sorting policy (垃圾类政策) in July last year, the city’s residents (居民) took some time to get used to it. They joked that every time they took out their garbage, the staff (工作人员) standing by the bins would ask, “What kind of garbage are you?” Starting on May 1, Beijing joined many Chinese cities by introducing a new garbage-sorting policy, People’s Daily reported. Residents should sort their garbage into four groups: kitchen, recyclable, hazardous (有害) and other waste. These groups are represented (代表) by four different colors of trash bins—green, blue, red and gray. Those who fail to sort their trash correctly may be fined up to 200 yuan, Xinhua reported. Some cities like Shanghai and Qingdao sort their trash differently. These cities use four different groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. Although their names are different, the groups are actually the same. In fact, wet garbage in Shanghai is kitchen garbage in Beijing. And dry garbage is the same as other waste, China Youth Daily reported. To help residents sort their trash correctly, the Beijing government is offering online guidelines (指导). If people don’t know how to throw away garbage, they can search for it on the WeChat account Guanchenglishi (管城理市) to find out. By searching a keyword or taking a photo, people can immediately find out which group their waste belongs to. 28. If people don’t follow the garbage-sorting policy, __________. A they will have to stand by the bins B. they won’t be allowed to throw trash away C. they won’t be noticed D. they may face fines 29. According to the passage, which of the following cities have the same names for garbage groups? A. Beijing and Shanghai. B. Beijing and Qingdao. C. Shanghai and Qingdao. D. Qingdao and Wuhan. 30 Kitchen garbage in Beijing is the same as ________ in Shanghai. A. wet garbage B. dry garbage C. recyclable garbage D. harmful garbage 31. What do we know from this passage? A. Beijing uses four different groups: kitchen, recyclable, hazardous and dry. B. Garbage-sorting is being carried out all over China. C. Guanchenglishi can help residents in Beijing with the garbage-sorting. D. Residents in Beijing are troubled by garbage-sorting. D The impact of the man-made climate crisis on Antarctica is scientifically undeniable: stable ice shelves are retreating, air temperature increased by 3 degrees Celsius. krill(磷虾)numbers are declining, melting ice is contributing to sea level rise, and polar bears and seals are getting displaced. “Antarctic biodiversity could decline substantially by the end of the century if we continue with business as usual.” Jasmine Rachael Lee, lead author of the University of Queensland study says. Published in the journal PLOS Biology, the study finds population declines are likely for 65% of the continent’s plants and wildlife by the year 2100. The most vulnerable(脆弱的)species is the Emperor penguins. In October 2022, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed Emperor penguins as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act(ESA), as experts predict the flightless seabird will see a 26% to 47% dip in its population by 2050. “This listing reflects the growing extinction crisis and highlights the importance of the ESA and efforts to conserve species before population declines become irreversible(不可逆转).” said Service Director Martha Williams at the time. Aside from Emperor penguins, other Antarctic specialists, like the Adélie penguin and dry soil nematodes, were also highly vulnerable. We urgently need a combination of global and local conservation action to best conserve Antarctic species. Global action and global voices to help relieve climate change—because the biggest threat to Antarctica is coming from outside of it. And then we need local actions to help protect biodiversity against local threats and give them the best chance of adapting to climate changes. This will help to save our iconic(代表性的)species like the Emperor penguins and all of Antarctica’s unique and highly adapted inhabitants. It will also help humankind, as we rely heavily on the priceless services the Antarctic provides in regulating our climate and capturing sea level in its ice sheets. 32. What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A. The impact of climate crisis is usually denied. B Conservation efforts are badly needed. C. Air temperature on Antarctic increases 3℃ annually. D. Sea level rise results in seabirds losing their habitats. 33. Why is the Emperor penguin mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To serve as a call to protect wildlife on Antarctic B. To reflect the growing population of wild species. C. To prove the effectiveness of the Endangered Species Act. D. To highlight the severe impact of rising temperature. 34. What is probably the best conservation policy? A. Reducing the chances of making a trip to Antarctic. B. Making joint efforts to relieve climate change. C. Attempting to provide essential nutrients to the ecosystem. D. Continuing to carry forward the Endangered Species Act. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Plants and Wildlife on Antarctica Will Decline Quickly B. Antarctic Species Are Vulnerable to Human Threats C. More Action Should Be Taken to Protect Wildlife on Antarctica D. The Best Conservation Strategy Will Be Carried Out Soon 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。 Do you have those days when you say to yourself “I don’t need school” or when you just can't find the motivation to pay attention in school or get your homework done? ____36____ Here are some tips to keep yourself motivated in school so that you can succeed and achieve your goals. Set concrete academic goals. ____37____ If you just want to “do better” in school, does that mean an A? Or a B? Are you just trying to pass? Sit down and set specific benchmarks for yourself. You might say you want to maintain at least a 3.0 GPA, or that you want to get at least an A — in history this year. Study efficiently. Avoid cramming and focus on creating your own understanding. It’s easy to just sit in front of your book and read passively without really absorbing the information. ____38____ If you find it most efficient to focus on one subject at a time, do that. If bouncing between a few similar subjects helps you stay on task, that’s fine, too. ____39____ This will help you commit the material to memory. It’s better to spend 10-15 minutes studying every night than to try and stuff everything into one study session the night before the big test. Research has shown that stuffing is one of the least efficient ways to prepare for a test, so avoid it at all costs. Take care of your body. Get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly. You cannot stay motivated if you’re so physically under the weather that your body can't focus. Get 8 hours of sleep — especially on school nights. ____40____ A. Stay focused with mindfulness tricks. B. Study in a way that makes the most sense to you. C. It's easier to stay motivated if you have specific goals. D. Review everything you learned at the end of each study session. E. It's a lot easier to stay motivated if you know you’re going to relax eventually. F. Eat a diverse, healthy diet and get plenty of physical activity to ensure you' re in tip-top shape. G. You’re not alone, but doing well in school will set you up to have the life you want down the road. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I felt anxious when going into my room from school.

She didn’t answer her teachers’ questions actively in class like she used to. Instead, she began to lower her head and got absent-minded easily. Her friends and classmates were worried about her, but she didn’t feel like talking about it with them. Mrs. Green, her English teacher, noticed her changes and decided to do something before it got worse. One day, Mrs. Green entered the classroom and asked her students to prepare for a surprise test. They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin. Mrs. Green handed out the question papers, with the text facing down as usual. After she handed them all out, she asked her students to turn the page and begin. To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions, just a black dot in the center of the page. Mrs. Green, seeing the expression on everyone’s face, told them the following: “I want you to write what you see there.” The students, confused, got started on the task. At the end of the class, Mrs. Green collected all the answer papers and started reading them aloud in front of all the students. Just as Mrs. Green had expected, with no exception, all of them described the black dot, trying to explain its position in the middle of the sheet, etc. Mrs. Green then picked out Linda’s paper and added, “Linda, I like your idea. Would you please follow me to the office and talk about it?” “Er... Yes, madam!” Linda was puzzled because she thought her idea was no better than anyone else’s. Like others, she also described the black dot only and ignored the white part of the paper. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.每段的开头语已为你写好。 Feeling nervous, Linda went into Mrs. Green’s office. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “ Mrs. Green is right. I should focus more on the white part of the paper!” Linda got refreshed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 天水市第二中学、新梦想高考复读学校2025届高三级12月份大联考 英语试卷 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What color does the woman prefer?

Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says. On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed. When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn. In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings. “My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.” Natalie’s choice was to help. She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced. In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change. Today, the scars (创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.” 24. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found ______. A. some friends had lost their lives. B. her neighborhood was destroyed. C. her school had moved to Brooklyn. D. the elderly were free from suffering. 25. According to paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most? A. The people helping Rockaway rebuild. B. The people trapped in high-rise building. C. The volunteers donating money to survivors. D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people. 26. How did Natalie help the survivors? A. She gave her toys to the kids. B. She took care of younger children. C. She called on the White House to help. D. She built an information sharing platform. 27. What does the story intend to tell us? A. Little people can make a big difference. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. East or West, home is best. D. Technology is power. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【分析】Natalie是一个14岁的孩子，她生活的地方Brooklyn遭到了飓风桑迪的袭击，受灾严重。看到人们在帮助家乡重建，Natalie也加入进去，Natalie创建网站来分享求助信息，帮助捐赠者找到需要的受助者。Natalie的行为得到了社会的认可和表扬。 【24题详解】 段落大意题。A项文章未提及；根据第三段“Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn”可知学校没有搬走，而是暂时去Brooklyn上学，排除C；根据“people were suffering, especially the elderly”排除D；根据“When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins.”可知他们的街区被飓风毁了，故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie.”可知，那些帮助Rockaway恢复重建的人给了Natalie鼓舞，故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help.”可知，Natalie创建了一个网站来分享和匹配求助信息和捐赠信息，故选D。 【27题详解】 写作意图题。根据倒数第二段“Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.”可知，Natalie的助人行为得到了社会的认可和赞扬，说明小人物也可以有大作为，故选A。 考点：人物故事类短文阅读。 【名师点睛】故事类文章是高考阅读理解常选材料之一。这类文章常通过叙述突出人物性格特征或讲述个人经历与感悟，以及逸闻趣事。文章的要素有时间、地点、人物、事件等。有些是按事件发展的经过为主线叙述的，在叙述的过程中有详有略；有些是按时间的顺序叙述的，有顺叙、倒叙等。 解题技巧： 1、高考选用的此类文章常常为幽默类或情感类故事，其目的或阐明某种观点，或抨击某种陋习，或赞扬某种品德，所以要关注作者表达的个人感悟，提出的个人意见，或故事中出其不意的变化，而这些往往体现文章中心或写作意图，属于必考点。如本题中的第62题：通过Natalie帮助他人的行为告诉读者小人物也可以有大作为这一道理。 2、该类文章语言流畅、有趣，命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的意图和态度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。这类文章同学们常有文章易懂，题目不易做的感觉。要注意培养自己快速阅读的习惯。切不可在个别难懂的词句上停留太久，耽误时间。 3、对整篇短文内容有了一定的了解后，要马上看短文后的问题，带着问题去选择或判断答案。要确定所需查找的信息范围，并注意所查找信息的特点。例如：如果问题或选项涉及到人名、地名，就应该找首字母大写的单词；如果问题或选项涉及时间、日期、数字，就应该寻找具体的数据。 C When Shanghai introduced a new garbage-sorting policy (垃圾类政策) in July last year, the city’s residents (居民) took some time to get used to it. They joked that every time they took out their garbage, the staff (工作人员) standing by the bins would ask, “What kind of garbage are you?” Starting on May 1, Beijing joined many Chinese cities by introducing a new garbage-sorting policy, People’s Daily reported. Residents should sort their garbage into four groups: kitchen, recyclable, hazardous (有害的) and other waste. These groups are represented (代表) by four different colors of trash bins—green, blue, red and gray. Those who fail to sort their trash correctly may be fined up to 200 yuan, Xinhua reported. Some cities like Shanghai and Qingdao sort their trash differently. These cities use four different groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. Although their names are different, the groups are actually the same. In fact, wet garbage in Shanghai is kitchen garbage in Beijing. And dry garbage is the same as other waste, China Youth Daily reported. To help residents sort their trash correctly, the Beijing government is offering online guidelines (指导). If people don’t know how to throw away garbage, they can search for it on the WeChat account Guanchenglishi (管城理市) to find out. By searching a keyword or taking a photo, people can immediately find out which group their waste belongs to. 28. If people don’t follow the garbage-sorting policy __________. A. they will have to stand by the bins B. they won’t be allowed to throw trash away C. they won’t be noticed D. they may face fines 29. According to the passage, which of the following cities have the same names for garbage groups? A. Beijing and Shanghai. B. Beijing and Qingdao. C. Shanghai and Qingdao. D. Qingdao and Wuhan. 30. Kitchen garbage in Beijing is the same as ________ in Shanghai. A. wet garbage B. dry garbage C. recyclable garbage D. harmful garbage 31. What do we know from this passage? A. Beijing uses four different groups: kitchen, recyclable, hazardous and dry. B. Garbage-sorting is being carried out all over China. C. Guanchenglishi can help residents in Beijing with the garbage-sorting. D. Residents in Beijing are troubled by garbage-sorting. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国上海、北京和青岛等城市的垃圾分类政策。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Those who fail to sort their trash correctly may be fined up to 200 yuan, Xinhua reported.”（据新华社报道，那些未能正确分类垃圾的人将被处以最高200元的罚款。）可知，未能正确分类垃圾的人将被处以最高200元的罚款，由此可知，如果人们不遵守垃圾分类政策，他们可能面临罚款。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“Some cities like Shanghai and Qingdao sort their trash differently. These cities use four different groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.”（上海和青岛等城市的垃圾分类不同。这些城市使用四种不同的类型：潮湿、可回收、有害和干燥。）可知，上海和青岛等城市与北京的垃圾分类不同，这些城市使用潮湿、可回收、有害和干燥这四种不同的名称，由此可知，上海和青岛的垃圾组名称相同，都使用潮湿、可回收、有害和干燥这四种名称。故选C项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“In fact, wet garbage in Shanghai is kitchen garbage in Beijing.”（事实上，上海的湿垃圾是北京的厨余垃圾。）可知，上海的湿垃圾是北京的厨余垃圾，由此可知，北京的厨余垃圾和上海的湿垃圾一样。故选A项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段关键句“To help residents sort their trash correctly, the Beijing government is offering online guidelines (指导). If people don’t know how to throw away garbage, they can search for it on the WeChat account Guanchenglishi (管城理市) to find out.”（为了帮助居民正确分类垃圾，北京政府正在提供在线指导。如果人们不知道如何扔掉垃圾，可以在微信账号的管城理市上搜索找到。）可知，北京的居民如果不知道如何进行垃圾分类，可以通过微信账号的管城理市进行搜索，找到正确方法，由此可知，管城理市可以帮助北京居民进行垃圾分类。故选C项。 D The impact of the man-made climate crisis on Antarctica is scientifically undeniable: stable ice shelves are retreating, air temperature increased by 3 degrees Celsius. krill(磷虾)numbers are declining, melting ice is contributing to sea level rise, and polar bears and seals are getting displaced. “Antarctic biodiversity could decline substantially by the end of the century if we continue with business as usual.” Jasmine Rachael Lee, lead author of the University of Queensland study says. Published in the journal PLOS Biology, the study finds population declines are likely for 65% of the continent’s plants and wildlife by the year 2100. The most vulnerable(脆弱的)species is the Emperor penguins. In October 2022, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed Emperor penguins as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act(ESA), as experts predict the flightless seabird will see a 26% to 47% dip in its population by 2050. “This listing reflects the growing extinction crisis and highlights the importance of the ESA and efforts to conserve species before population declines become irreversible(不可逆转).” said Service Director Martha Williams at the time. Aside from Emperor penguins, other Antarctic specialists, like the Adélie penguin and dry soil nematodes, were also highly vulnerable. We urgently need a combination of global and local conservation action to best conserve Antarctic species. Global action and global voices to help relieve climate change—because the biggest threat to Antarctica is coming from outside of it. And then we need local actions to help protect biodiversity against local threats and give them the best chance of adapting to climate changes. This will help to save our iconic(代表性的)species like the Emperor penguins and all of Antarctica’s unique and highly adapted inhabitants. It will also help humankind, as we rely heavily on the priceless services the Antarctic provides in regulating our climate and capturing sea level in its ice sheets. 32. What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A. The impact of climate crisis is usually denied. B. Conservation efforts are badly needed. C. Air temperature on Antarctic increases 3℃ annually. D. Sea level rise results in seabirds losing their habitats. 33. Why is the Emperor penguin mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To serve as a call to protect wildlife on Antarctic B. To reflect the growing population of wild species. C. To prove the effectiveness of the Endangered Species Act. D. To highlight the severe impact of rising temperature. 34. What is probably the best conservation policy? A. Reducing the chances of making a trip to Antarctic. B. Making joint efforts to relieve climate change. C. Attempting to provide essential nutrients to the ecosystem. D. Continuing to carry forward the Endangered Species Act. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Plants and Wildlife on Antarctica Will Decline Quickly B. Antarctic Species Are Vulnerable to Human Threats C. More Action Should Be Taken to Protect Wildlife on Antarctica D. The Best Conservation Strategy Will Be Carried Out Soon 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述的是研究发现，到2100年，南极洲65%的植物和野生动物将减少，现有的保护工作不足以保护南极生态系统，我们迫切需要结合全球行动，以最好地保护南极物种。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Antarctic biodiversity could decline substantially by the end of the century if we continue with business as usual.(如果我们继续照常营业，到本世纪末，南极生物多样性可能会大幅下降。)”可知，这样继续下去，南极的生物多样性会急剧下降，由此可推知， 保护工作是迫切需要的。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的““This listing reflects the growing extinction crisis and highlights the importance of the ESA and efforts to conserve species before population declines become irreversible(不可逆转).” said Service Director Martha Williams at the time.( “这一名单反映了日益严重的物种灭绝危机，凸显了ESA的重要性，以及在种群数量下降不可逆转之前保护物种的努力。”当时的服务主管玛莎·威廉姆斯说。)”可知， 气候变化正在对世界各地的物种产生深远影响，帝企鹅列入名单是一个行动号召，来保护南极洲野生动物。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“We urgently need a combination of global and local conservation action to best conserve Antarctic species. Global action and global voices to help relieve climate change—because the biggest threat to Antarctica is coming from outside of it.(我们迫切需要全球和地方保护行动相结合，以最好地保护南极物种。全球行动和全球声音帮助缓解气候变化——因为南极洲面临的最大威胁来自外部。)”可知，我们迫切需要结合全球和地方保护行动，这有助于缓解气候变化。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的““Antarctic biodiversity could decline substantially by the end of the century if we continue with business as usual.” Jasmine Rachael Lee, lead author of the University of Queensland study says.(“如果我们继续一切照旧，到本世纪末，南极的生物多样性可能会大幅下降。”昆士兰大学这项研究的主要作者Jasmine Rachael Lee说。)”引出本文讲述的话题，根据第二段中的“Published in the journal PLOS Biology, the study finds population declines are likely for 65% of the continent’s plants and wildlife by the year 2100.(这项发表在《公共科学图书馆生物学》杂志上的研究发现，到2100年，非洲大陆65%的植物和野生动物的数量可能会下降。)”可知，研究发现，到2100年, 南极洲65%的植物和野生动物将减少，结合下文中对这一研究发现以及对解决这一问题的迫切性的分析可知，本文主要讲述的事一项研究发现，要采取更多的行动来保护南极的野生物种，所以文本的题目为“应采取更多行动保护南极洲的野生动植物”与文章内容吻合，且概括了本文的主题。故选C项。 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。 Do you have those days when you say to yourself “I don’t need school” or when you just can't find the motivation to pay attention in school or get your homework done? ____36____ Here are some tips to keep yourself motivated in school so that you can succeed and achieve your goals.

Following 65. attracting 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是中国网球新星郑钦文在巴黎奥运会上的杰出表现以及她的职业生涯发展。 【56题详解】 考查名词。句意：周三，在巴黎举行的奥运会女子单打半决赛中，中国网球明星郑钦文成功晋级，这是中国队时隔16年后取得的一项重大成就。significant是形容词，修饰名词，achieve的名词是achievement，意为“成就”，空前有a，空格处用单数，故填achievement。 【57题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：21岁的她击败了克罗地亚的Donna Vekic，为中国赢得了继李婷和孙甜甜获得女子双打冠军后的第二枚奥运网球金牌，树立了自己令人惊叹的职业生涯里程碑。established和give的动作并列，established是过去式，说明句子时态是一般过去时，因此空格处用过去式gave，故填gave。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：“我一直梦想着成为姚明、刘翔和李娜这样的运动员，他们都是成功的、有影响力的运动员，”郑在周日接受《中国日报》采访时表示。of是介词，其后跟动名词作宾语，故填joining。 【59题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：“我一直梦想着成为姚明、刘翔和李娜这样的运动员，他们都是成功的、有影响力的运动员，”郑在周日接受《中国日报》采访时表示。空格处是“介词+whom/which”引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词Yao Ming, Liu Xiang and Li Na是人，因此空格处用whom，故填whom。 【60题详解】 考查介词。句意：由于她在场上咄咄逼人的进攻风格，加上她的名字发音有些相似，郑的粉丝们在之前的比赛中称她为“文女王”。similarity with...是固定搭配，意为“与……的相似性”，因此空格处用介词with，故填with。 61题详解】 考查副词。句意：今天的比赛异常艰难。空格处用副词incredibly修饰形容词tough，incredibly意为“难以置信地，非常地”，故填incredibly。 【62题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：我知道这场胜利对中国意味着什么。空格处引导的是宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，句子表示“我知道这场胜利对中国意味着什么”，空格处用连接代词what引导宾语从句，故填what。 【63题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：我已经突破了自己的极限。limit意为“极限”，不止一个，要用复数，故填limits。 【64题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：跟随李的脚步，她将成为另一位成功的中国女运动员，她令人信服的运动记录和个性吸引了越来越多的国内外品牌作为她的赞助商。句中谓语是is set to，空格处用非谓语动词，she和follow之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Following。 【65题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：跟随李的脚步，她将成为另一位成功的中国女运动员，她令人信服的运动记录和个性吸引了越来越多的国内外品牌作为她的赞助商。此处是with复合结构，“her convincing athletic records and personality”和attract之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词，表主动，作宾语补足语，故填attracting。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，你班下周末将组织一次以“来北京看中国”(See China in Beijing)为主题的自然&文化研学活动，为期一天。请你用英文写一封信邀请你校国际部交换生Jim来参加活动。内容包括： 1.写信目的； 2.活动时间、地点、活动安排； 3.期盼得到回复。 注意： 1.词数80左右； 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 参考词汇：natural & cultural study tour(n.)：自然&文化研学活动 Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Jim, I hope this message finds you well.

She didn’t answer her teachers’ questions actively in class like she used to. Instead, she began to lower her head and got absent-minded easily. Her friends and classmates were worried about her, but she didn’t feel like talking about it with them. Mrs. Green, her English teacher, noticed her changes and decided to do something before it got worse. One day, Mrs. Green entered the classroom and asked her students to prepare for a surprise test. They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin. Mrs. Green handed out the question papers, with the text facing down as usual. After she handed them all out, she asked her students to turn the page and begin. To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions, just a black dot in the center of the page. Mrs. Green, seeing the expression on everyone’s face, told them the following: “I want you to write what you see there.” The students, confused, got started on the task. At the end of the class, Mrs. Green collected all the answer papers and started reading them aloud in front of all the students. Just as Mrs. Green had expected, with no exception, all of them described the black dot, trying to explain its position in the middle of the sheet, etc. Mrs. Green then picked out Linda’s paper and added, “Linda, I like your idea. Would you please follow me to the office and talk about it?” “Er... Yes, madam!” Linda was puzzled because she thought her idea was no better than anyone else’s. Like others, she also described the black dot only and ignored the white part of the paper. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.每段的开头语已为你写好。 Feeling nervous, Linda went into Mrs. Green’s office. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “ Mrs. Green is right. I should focus more on the white part of the paper!” Linda got refreshed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Feeling nervous, Linda went into Mrs. Green’s office. Mrs. Green invited her to share her ideas. After that, Mrs. Green smiled, “Have you ever noticed the white part of the paper?” Linda shook her head confused because it never occurred to her. Mrs. Green continued, “The black dot is just like the failure in life, only a small part. If we focus only on it, we might easily overlook the happiness of life, the bigger part.” Suddenly, Linda understood it. Tears welling up her eyes, she expressed gratitude to Mrs. Green before leaving the office. “Mrs. Green is right. I should focus more on the white part of the paper!” Linda got refreshed. Only then did she realize that she had a lot of admirable teachers, beloved families and friendly classmates. The failure of the exams was just a small part. From then on, Linda became active in the class again. She made steady progress in study and eventually got the best grades in the final exams. After this experience, Linda deeply realized that sometimes life can be hard, but we should always be positive and look at the bright side. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了琳达是一名高中女生，期中考试不及格后，她感到很沮丧。她不像以前那样在课堂上积极回答老师的问题。相反，她开始低着头，很容易就心不在焉了。最终在格林太太的教育下，琳达认识到了不应该只关注一次失败的经历。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“琳达感到紧张，走进格林夫人的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写琳达进入办公室后发生的事情。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘格林太太说得对。我应该把更多注意力放在纸的白色部分！’琳达恢复了精神。”可知，第二段可描写琳达从中学到的经验。 2.续写线索：进办公室——教育——感谢——恢复精神——感悟——取得进步 3.词汇激活 行为类 注意到：notice/take notice of 离开：leave/get out of 继续：continue/go on 情绪类 感谢：express gratitude to /show appreciation to 积极：positive / optimistic 【点睛】[高分句型1] Linda shook her head confused because it never occurred to her.
