All baby animals are cute.Seal pups((海s豹幼崽)are no exception.One such pup,a spotted
seal pup,about 20 days old,was found on the beach in Panjin,Liaoning Province,by the local
people.Among those who rescued the seal pup were Li Yue,of the Fisheries Law Enforcement
Command (FLEC)team,and volunteer Tian Jiguang,founder of Panjin Wetland Protection
Association.
【高二英语试卷第3页(共10页)】
"The seal pup was found with a fishing net around its neck.Seals,even scal pups,have a
violent temper.So when we approached it to remove the fishing net from its neck,it thought we
would harm it and tumed aggressive(言于攻击性的)like an angry dog.But the more it
struggled,the tighter the net became.Eventually.it realized that we meant no harm,and allowed
us to remove the net,"said Tian.
Spotted seals'intelligence is roughly equal to that of a four-year-old child and even young
seals can survive on their own in the wild.But since the rescued pup was just about three weeks
old and wouldn't have survived the harsh environment of the open sea without its mother,it was
not released into the sea immediately.
Spotted seals are relatively shy,difficult to approach and generally live alone,though they
fomm large groups during pupping and molting ()seasons when they walk slowly on ice or
on land,which nowadays is often the case.Perhaps that's why the pup was aggressive when
approached.
"We took care of it for a day,and then sent it to the Liaoning Ocean and Fisheries Science
Research Institute in Dalian for treatment and examination.Only after we are sure the pup has
developed the ability to survive in the wild will it be retumed to the sea,"said Li,captain of the
FLEC team.Li generally rescues several spotted seals every year.
24.What does paragraph 2 focus on?
A.The process of rescuing the seal pup.
B.The new life of the trapped seal pup
C.The habit of the spotted seal pup.
D.The approach to removing the seal pup.
25.What can we leam about spotted seals from the text?
A.They form groups when hunting.
B.They have a great survival ability.
C.They are cleverer than young children.
D.Their pups are always fighting with each other.
26.What may happen to the seal pup next?
A.It will be examined by the FLEC team.
B.It will be taken care of by volunteers.
C.It will be released into the sea immediately.
D.It will stay at the research institute for a while.
27.Which is the best title for the text?

On the glittering Red Sea coast,there's a luxury tourist destination that has it all:white
sands,perfect accommodation,world-class yachting and-perhaps surprisingly-a cutting-edge
laboratory that's protecting coral reefs from climate change.
AMAALA is a new kind of sustainable destination.Run with 100%renewable energy,it is
one of two carbon neutral luxury destinations that Red Sea Global (RSG)operates,which are
test beds for sustainable development and hubs for new technology and ecological research.
【高二英语试卷第4页(共10页)】
Its most ambitious project is to protect and regenerate corals,which are under extreme
pressure from warming temperatures,in the Red Sea and beyond."Corals cover less than 1%of
the Earth's surface but they sustain 25%of all marine life,"says John Pagano,Group CEO of
RSG.To protcct and enhance the coral reefs under our guardianship we are using advanced
technologies,such as remote operated vehicles and machine leaming,to monitor coral cover.
These innovations can produce 3D images and automatically analyze them,enabling our
scientists to quickly identify and respond to threats like coral bleaching and invasive species."
RSG's scientists are also developing an onshore nursery,where corals are developed in
controlled conditions.The idea is to boost the natural coral reefs when needed,says a marine
conservationist on the team.
Soon,RSG will also begin testing 3D-printed materials to create artificial substrates for
relocating coral colonies or growing new ones.Essentially,it means creating new reefs to
support marine life.And the cool thing is that everyone's invited.
RSG's vision is for tourism,conservation and research to co-exist and sustain each other at
its destinations.The marine life institute,built at AMAALA,will include visitor experiences
alongside its laboratories and rehabilitation centers.Tourists will be encouraged to participate,
play and leam."We believe that academic research and tourism can work together,for people
and planet alike,"says Pagano.
Dr Jess Bouwmeester,an associate director of RSG,is looking forward to seeing visitors.
"We want to get them involved"she says."As soon s people start leaming about corals they
tend to be a lot more protective of them.In terms of environmental awareness,getting the
tourism sector involved is extremely important."
28.What do we know about AMAALA and RSG?
A.They are both luxury tourist destinations.
B.They are both test beds for sustainable development.
C.RSG cooperates with AMAALA to protect corals.
D.RSG runs AMAALA as its multifunctional destination.
29.According to John Pagano,why is it an ambitious project to protect corals?
A.Corals should be under the guardianship of RSG.
B.Corals play a critical role in supporting certain sea life
C.Corals cover less than 1%of the Eeath's surface but sustain 25%ofecological life.
D.Corals are under extreme pressure because of warming temperatures.
30.What are RSG's scientists doing to protect the corals?
A.Using cutting-edge technologies to keep track of corals.
B.Analyzing the 3D images to respond to potential threats.
C.Testing 3D-printed materials to help create new coral reefs.
D.Developing an offshore nursery to boost natural coral reefs.
31.What is Dr Jess Bouwmeester's attitude towards tourism in the marine life institute?
A.Concemed.
B.Tolerant.
C.Objective.
D.Favourable

At the start of the 2010s,rates of teenage mental illness took a sharp upward tum,and they
have been rising ever since.The American social psychologist Jonathan Haidt believes this
mental health crisis has been driven by the mass adoption of smartphones,along with the advent
of social media and addictive online gaming.He calls it"the Great Rewiring of Childhood"
【高二英语试卷第5页(共10页)】
Haidt often collaborates with the American psychologist Jean Twenge,who was one of the
first to attribute rising rates of mental illness among Gen Z to smartphones.Skeptics of this
rescarch sometimes arguc young people simply have more things to feel anxious and depressed
about,between climate change,rising incquality,global conflict and so on.But Haidt makes his
case persuasively.Earlier generations have also grown up in the shadow of war and global
instability,he points out,and collcctive crises don't typically produce individual psychological
ones.Instead,the evidence linking mental illncss to smartphones and social media use is
mounting.
So why might'phone-bascd"childhoods have this effect?Smartphones pull us away from
our immediate surroundings and the people closest tous,as the sociologist Sherry Turkle puts it
"forever clsewhere"Tcens are not only the most compulsive smartphone users but they are also
the most vulnerable,partly because adolescence is a period of rapid social and emotional
devclopment.Smartphones are "experience blockers",Haidt writes.Consider how many
enriching activities were displaced when young people began spending hours a day online,
substituting the richness of real-life fricndship with shallow online communication.Social
media encourages constant social comparison,and it can be unforgiving and cruel.
Haidt's theory that overprotective parents are contributing to the mental health crisis is
much less substantiated than his research on phones.He argues that children are"antifragile".
they need to experience setbacks to develop resilience.This is an argument he advanced in his
2018 book.I agree with Haidt that children ought to be given greater freedom to play
unsupervised,but he overstates his case.
The Anious Generation,Haidt's another book,is nonetheless an essential read,and ought
to become a foundational text for the growing movement to keep smartphones out of schools,
and young children off social media.
32.According to Paragraph 2,which of the following is true?
A."The Great Rewiring of Childhood"refers to the mental health crisis of teenagers.
B.Twenge was the first to owe mental illness crisis to phones.
C.Haidt believes that teenagers feel more depressed about climate change than phones.
D.For earlier generations,collective crises don't typically produce mental illness.
33.What does the underlined word"substituting"probably mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Replacing
B.Reducing
C.Damaging
D.Increasing
34.What can you infer from the last two paragraphs?
A.Haidt argues that parents contribute more to the mental health crisis than smartphones.
B.Children need to experience setbacks to be less"antifragile"
C.The author agrees with Haidt that children need to develop resilience.
D.The Arxious Generation is an essential read to keep smartphones out of schools
35.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The rates of teenage mental illness have been rising ever since.
B.Smartphones occupy teenagers'daily life.
C.The reasons of the increasing rates of teenage mental illness
D.The solutions to teenage mental health crisis.

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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为
多余选项。
Make your online life better
Being online is "essential"for Sam Cao of Mason,Ohio.The teen graduated from high
school last year."Everyone is on technology,"he says.
Researchers agree that some online experiences can benefit even young members of
Generation Z.But studies have also linked time spent online with not getting enough sleep,plus
mental-health issues.
36
Be active instead of passive.
Choose what you do and view.Chat over video with friends or family.Write or comment on
posts.Create works of art."You can have really meaningful,supportive conversations with
friends,"says psychologist Sam Ehrenreich.He contrasts this with"passive"screen time-
"sitting there and scrolling continuously,without actually interacting with anybody".That can
sometimes be a downer.
.Think about what makes you feel good and what doesn't.
"Start by being honest with yourself about when your tech use makes you feel good,"says
social scientist Emily Weinstein.But some people's posts might make you feel angry or anxious.
Or you might enjoy some kinds of videos but feel inadequate as you watch others.
37
Then avoid the negative ones.
·38
"We don't post Instagram pictures of us sitting at home bored,"notes Ehrenreich.Neither
do your friends!Like you,they have homework,school and other not-so-fun responsibilities.
They don't usually look picture-perfect.Some teens,however,"spend an incredible amount of
time making sure what they post is perfect".Without that reality check,you may feel left out or
jealous when you see fun party scenes or glamorous posts.Chances are your friends feel the
same way,so talk about it with them.
Protect your privacy.
39
"There's a tendency to overshare every detail of your life."says Sam Cao.
Sharing details about yourself online may leave you vulnerable to scammers.Some strangers
online may endanger you-either your personal safety or your wallet.
Set limits,and ask others to respect them.
There is so much that can be great about tech,but make sure your tech isn't taking over
your life.For starters,you need your sleep-and screen time can mess with that.40
Set limits with friends,too.Tell them you want to limit screen time during homework,before
bedtime or at meal times.Let them know not to expect you to respond to texts or calls right
away.
A.Figure out what those things are.
B.Be realistic about what you see online.
C.Good posts can have a positive effect on you.
D.Your friends are not concemed about your online life.
E.Getting phones out of the bedroom is really good for teenagers.
F.Photos,videos and other posts become part of your digital footprint
G.So,how can you get the most from your screen time while managing the risks?

telephoned and instructed him not to leave the his group home and stay indoors.It was unclear that
when and why Joey had left home,but Yvonne suspected Joey had walked about 9miles to North
Park Theater.where he had worked as a janitor()about since 1980.Joey's employer,Ray

第一节 参考范文
Dear Chris,
Knowing that you are fascinated about the photography, I am writing to share with you my unique
experience on the 15th China Photography Festival , hosted in our hometown,San Menxia, the city of Swan
last month.
During the festival, there were a wide range of events, including the remarkable photographic art
exhibition, which lasted for about a half month in San Menxia Cultural Expo City. All the items on display
were selected from the leading photographers’ pieces around the country. What is worth mentioning are the
multiple artworks in the Mongolia Exhibitions Area, where the eye-catching photos were surrounded by
visitors of all ages. We were all amazed by the breathtaking scenic beauty in the pictures. The exhibition
reminds me that everyone can not only find the beauty around us in our own eyes ,but also showcase it in our
own style, such as by our lens.
I do hope that you will witness such a splendid feast like this one day when it is convenient for you. I
am also convinced that you can benefit a lot from the acclivity.
