They stare down into the brown water. Their teacher, Mr. Rodman, pulls a long rope out of the river. Fastened to the end of the rope is a metal cage and inside are oysters(牡蛎). Taking turns, the students measure all the oysters, a nd then compare notes. The biggest oyster is over 2 inches long, much bigger than a healthy size for its age! They also measure the level of oxygen. As more oysters grow, the water should become clearer, hold more oxygen. And also, other animals should move in. Oysters are soft-bodied animals, and share the underwater community with plants, fish, and other lif e. They are food for crabs and other animals. As new oysters grow, they attach their shells to older one s, forming big reefs with many small spaces where other animals live. Oysters eat algae (藻类). If algae grow too fast, they can decrease oxygen from the water— and even fish need oxygen to breathe! But what happened to the oysters 100 years ago in New York Harbour? Before then, lots of oysters liv ed in these waters. They were shipped to restaurants around the world. By the early 1900s,people were ea ting them faster than they could grow. Pollution was pouring into the waters. The harbor became seriousl y polluted. Since the 1970s, new laws have helped reduce poisonous waste.Some fish started to swim throu gh again. But oysters were still missing until recently. The Billion Oyster Project began in 2014 to help bring oysters back to NewYork Harbour. The project has recruited (招募) more than 6,500 students at more than 100 middle schools and high schools to help g row, distribute, and study the oysters. Finally, the students put the oysters back in the cage. Mr. Rodman lowers the cage into the river. 高二英语 第 3页 共 8 页 In a few months, they will check the cage again. When the oysters are big enough, th ey will be moved to join a healthy reef in the middle of the harbor. 24. Why do students come to the pier over the Harlem River? A. To do research. B. To let other animals move in. C. To buy oysters. D. To clean up the river. 25. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. What oysters are like. B. How oysters get food. C. Why algae grow fast. D. What role oysters play. 26. What can we learn about oysters in New York Harbour? A. People's love of eating oysters boosted their numbers. B. Polluted water was totally to blame for the missing of oysters. C. There existed numerous oysters 100 years ago. D. New laws in the 1970s were crucial to oysters' recovery. 27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Algae Raised in New York Harbour B. The Harlem River Polluted Heavily C. Teacher Devoted to Wildlife Protection D. Nature's Helper Brought Back C One day, when I was working as a psychologist(心理学家) in England, a person showed up in my office. I looked up and down the juvenile. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly,his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher ha d referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandab ly very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm very worried about him. Can you hel p?” I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problem s psychology doesn't have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes th e best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically. The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up t o look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded.After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon— in comp lete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice. Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the sh elf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if h e enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me? “Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that Irespect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly. “It's your turn,” he said. After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his pla n to get into university.Now he had really started to live his own life. Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one— without any words— can r each out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly tou ch, and an ear that listens. 28. What does the underlined word“juvenile” mean in the first paragraph? A. Teenager. B. Adult. C. Infant. D. Elderly. 29. As a psychologist, the author . 高二英语第 4 页 共 8 页 A. was doubtful about psychology B. was ready to listen to David C. was able to describe David's problem D. was sure of handling David's problem 30. What can be inferred about David? A. He liked biking before he lost his family. B. He recovered after months of treatment. C. He went into university soon after starting to talk. D. He got friends in school before he met the author. 31. What mainly made David change? A. His chess games with the author. B. The author's friendship. C. His exchange of letters with the author. D. The author's silent company. D Almost every machine with moving parts has wheels, yet no one knows exactly when the first whe el was invented or what it was used for. We do know, the evolution of wheels is a remarkable jour ney that has spanned over 5,500 years , with its origins tracing back to ancient Asia. The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5,100 yéars ol d. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't become popular for a while, though. This co uld be because animals can carry heavy loads, such as farming tools, articles of daily use and hu mans around, making wheels seem unnecessary. But it could also be because of a difficult situation. The construction of smooth road surface s,which are crucial for the efficient operation of wheels. While wheels need to roll on smooth su rface,roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared a gain a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design befor e the arrival of modern road design. In the mid-1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same time, metal hubs (the central part of a wheel) came into being, followed by the pneumatic tyre (充气轮胎) in 1846. Alloy wheel s were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads(柏油路). As wheel de sign took off, vehicles got faster and faster. Despite the reasons for their delayed popularity remaining unclear, it is evident that wheels have played a significant role in shaping the modern world. From ancient Asia to modern times,whe els have revolutionized transportation, making it faster, more efficient, and more accessible to people around globe. 32. What might explain why transport wheels didn't become popular for some time? A. Few knew how to use transport wheels. B. Humans carried farming tools just as well. C. Animals were a good means of transport. D. The existence of transport wheels was not known. 33. What do we know about road design from the passage? A. It was easier than wheel design. B. It improved after big changes in vehicle design. C. It had been no change before the arrival of wheel design. D. It contributed to the development of wheel design. 34. How is the fourth paragraph mainly developed? 高二英语第 5页共 8页 A. By following time order. B. By making comparisons. C. By giving data. D. By making explanations. 35. What is the passage mainly about? A. The beginning of road design. B. The development of transport wheels. C. The history of public transport. D. The invention of fast-moving vehicles. 第二节 (共 5小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Respect Yourself Developing a strong sense of self-respect can not only help you fulfill your potential, bu t also develop healthy relationships. 36 Take these four steps to know how to feel happy wit h who you are and make the world treat you as you deserve to be treated.

C. w as dampening my holiday mood. The temperature was below zero. I ducked into Union Stat ion to get warm, only to learn a meaningful lesson from a homeless person. Warmth slowly restored to my hands and feet, I settled onto one of the public benche s with a steaming hot cup of coffee, ready to watch people. There I noticed a homeless man seated nearby and several tables of diners streaming into the great hall from the f ancy America Restaurant. The smell of food throughout the air, I couldn't resist the te mptation of an early dinner while the longing look in my neighbor's eye made me wonder how long it had been since he had eaten anything. I was torn between minding my own business and getting some food for him. Suddenly, a well-dressed young couple approached him. “Excuse me, sir,” began the husband. “My wife and I just finished eating and our appetite wasn't as big as we thought. We hate t o waste food. Can you help us out and put this to good use?” The kind strangers handed a large container overflowing with goodies.“God bless you both. Merry Christmas,” ca me the grateful reply. First, he examined his newfound meal, inspecting his sandwich an d stirring the salad. Then he slowly lifted the lid off the soup,breathing in the aroma and cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. It was obvious that he was going to en joy this miracle meal. Finally, he appeared ready for that long-dreamed-of first taste. Carefully unwrapping the plastic spoon, he filled it full, lifted it towards his mouth and— with a suddenness that astonished me—— froze with his mouth open. The reason for this unexpected behavior soon became clear. Dragging his feet in our d irection was a new arrival in his seventies. Hatless and gloveless, he wore a ragged ja cket, thin pants and open shoes that could barely keep him warm. 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。 I wasn't the only witness to the sad sight, but my neighbor was the only one doin g anything about it. Tears blurred my vision when I went to buy food from the fancy American restaurant. 高二英语 第 8页 共 8页
