We had a military training for a whole week in late August after stepping into our new senior high school. The military coaches were all strict with us. Frankly speaking, we all felt very tired, and even had pains in our legs. However, we all persisted in practising, and felt satisfied with ourselves eventually.
In the morning we arrived at the playground in lines on time. Then you could hear our military coaches shout at the top of their voices“Stand at attention”, “Stand at ease”,“Turn left”,“March”,“Run…”, All the students were practicing carefully. Exhausted as we were, none of us asked to have a rest, none of us complained, none of us wanted to drop out. Under the blazing sun, despite high temperature and thirst, we stood still for an hour with sweat dripping down from our faces all the time. In the moonlight, we played games heartily, bursting into laughter now and then. On the grass, divided into two groups, we competed to sing encouraging military songs in high spirits one after another. At the meeting, hearing their moving speech, we felt regretful for wasting time before. At that time we realized we should have been grateful to our parents and teachers, with tears in our eyes. And we all made up our minds to study harder. On the afternoon of the last day, our principal sang high praise for our behaviour, and encouraged us to keep this persistent spirit in future.
Though this military training is a tough experience, we challenged ourselves and overcame those difficulties. We felt proud from the bottom of our hearts. There is no doubt that this military training has left a deep and durable impression on me, on all my classmates.
19. How does the author like this military training?

21. What will the writer do if he meets a new student of this school next August?

B. Advise him or her to run regularly on the playground with some military coaches.
C. Try to make the principal praise him or her.
D. Encourage him or her to take military training seriously, and finish it successfully.
22. What may be the best title of this passage?
A. Some Strict Coaches B. A Far-reaching Experience
C. Persistence Is Important D. A Difficult Period

People’s voices frighten wildlife even more than the snarls (低吼) of lions, suggesting that we are the scariest animals. Giraffes, elephants, and more than a dozen other species of animals in a South African wildlife reserve ran away from loudspeakers twice as often when they heard the sounds of humans compared with those of lions, found by a study led by Michael Clinchy at the University of Western Ontario in Canada.
“This is a protected area, so these animals should not be fearful of us,” he says. “But whether you’re a wildlife tourist, or a poacher (盗猎者), or whatever, you’re all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.”
Clinchy and his colleagues had already discovered that the fear of predators (捕食者) can cause species to decline in number. Wanting to find out which was the most feared, the team decided to test humans against lions often seen as the world’s most fearsome predator on land, says Clinchy.
They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 meters away from animal paths near 21 waterholes in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world. When animals approached the waterholes, the speakers immediately played back one of four kinds of recordings, all at the same volume. These included men and women speaking calmly in local languages, lions snarling, gun shots with or without barking dogs and the calls of regional birds.
The researchers captured 15,000 videos of 19 species of animals reacting to their recordings. They found that wildlife except lions ran around in response to human voices more than to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to escape.
The findings highlight the damaging impact that our presence could potentially be having significant ecological (生态的) results. Even so, the findings could lead to positive outcomes as well. Human voices might prevent wildlife from entering crop fields or farms.
23. Why are some animals fearful of human beings?
A. Human beings are the strongest.
B. Human beings make them out of water.
C. Human beings may have caused great damage.
D. Human beings can make the loudest voice in the world.
24. What can be inferred about Greater Kruger National Park?
A There are many lions there.
B. There are 21 waterholes there.
C. It is easy to set up loudspeakers there.
D. It is easy to record the local people’s activities.
25. Which animal responded to human voices least?
A. Elephants. B. Giraffes. C. Lions. D. Dogs.
26. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The advantages of human voices to animals.
B. The damaging impact of human presence.
C. The significant ecological results of human voices.
D. The impact and possible application of human voices.
D
As more and more people speak the global languages of English,Chinese, Spanish,and Arabic,other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss,scholars from a number of organizations — UNESCO and National Geographic among them — have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center,Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials — including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes — which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now, through the two organizations that he has founded — the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project — Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world,available not just to scholars but to the youngers.
Generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.
27. Many scholars are making efforts to________.
A. promote global language B. rescue disappearing languages
C. search for language communities D. set up language research organizations
28. What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Having full records of the languages. B. Writing books on language teaching.
C. Telling stories about language users. D. Living with the native speakers.
29. What is Turin’s book based on?
A. The cultural studies in India. B. The documents available at Yale.
C. His language research in Bhutan. D. His personal experience in Nepal.
30. Which of the following best describes Turin’s work?
A. Write, sell and donate. B. Record, repair and reward.
C. Design, experiment and report. D. Collect, protect and reconnect.

We had a military training for a whole week in late August after stepping into our new senior high school. The military coaches were all strict with us. Frankly speaking, we all felt very tired, and even had pains in our legs. However, we all persisted in practising, and felt satisfied with ourselves eventually.
In the morning we arrived at the playground in lines on time. Then you could hear our military coaches shout at the top of their voices“Stand at attention”, “Stand at ease”,“Turn left”,“March”,“Run…”, All the students were practicing carefully. Exhausted as we were, none of us asked to have a rest, none of us complained, none of us wanted to drop out. Under the blazing sun, despite high temperature and thirst, we stood still for an hour with sweat dripping down from our faces all the time. In the moonlight, we played games heartily, bursting into laughter now and then. On the grass, divided into two groups, we competed to sing encouraging military songs in high spirits one after another. At the meeting, hearing their moving speech, we felt regretful for wasting time before. At that time we realized we should have been grateful to our parents and teachers, with tears in our eyes. And we all made up our minds to study harder. On the afternoon of the last day, our principal sang high praise for our behaviour, and encouraged us to keep this persistent spirit in future.
Though this military training is a tough experience, we challenged ourselves and overcame those difficulties. We felt proud from the bottom of our hearts. There is no doubt that this military training has left a deep and durable impression on me, on all my classmates.
19. How does the author like this military training?
A. Tiring and disappointing. B. Enjoyable and comfortable.
C. Meaningful and fruitful. D. Surprising and exciting.
20. What does the writer mainly describe in Paragraph 2?
A. They had some difficulties in practicing.
B. They always practiced without difficulty.
C. They made every effort to practice and behaved very well.
D. The principal hoped to praise them in person.
21. What will the writer do if he meets a new student of this school next August?
A. Persuade him or her to study hard.
B. Advise him or her to run regularly on the playground with some military coaches.
C. Try to make the principal praise him or her.
D. Encourage him or her to take military training seriously, and finish it successfully.

C. Persistence Is Important D. A Difficult Period
【答案】19. C 20. C 21. D 22. B
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第一段中的“However, we all persisted in practising, and felt satisfied with ourselves eventually.(然而,我们都坚持练习,并最终对自己感到满意)”和最后一段的“We felt proud from the bottom of our hearts.(我们从心底感到自豪)”可推断,既然作者经过军训后感到满意、自豪,那么他就会告诉来年的新生也去刻苦训练。故选D。
【22题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“There is no doubt that this military training has left a deep and durable impression on me, on all my classmates.(毫无疑问,这次军训给我和我所有的同学都留下了深刻而持久的印象)”及全文内容可知,全文叙述了高一新生进行的虽艰苦但有收获的军训经历对其一生的影响。所以“A Far-reaching Experience(一个影响深远的体验)”作为文章标题最为合适,其他均片面。故选B。
C
People’s voices frighten wildlife even more than the snarls (低吼) of lions, suggesting that we are the scariest animals. Giraffes, elephants, and more than a dozen other species of animals in a South African wildlife reserve ran away from loudspeakers twice as often when they heard the sounds of humans compared with those of lions, found by a study led by Michael Clinchy at the University of Western Ontario in Canada.
“This is a protected area, so these animals should not be fearful of us,” he says. “But whether you’re a wildlife tourist, or a poacher (盗猎者), or whatever, you’re all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.”
Clinchy and his colleagues had already discovered that the fear of predators (捕食者) can cause species to decline in number. Wanting to find out which was the most feared, the team decided to test humans against lions often seen as the world’s most fearsome predator on land, says Clinchy.
They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 meters away from animal paths near 21 waterholes in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world. When animals approached the waterholes, the speakers immediately played back one of four kinds of recordings, all at the same volume. These included men and women speaking calmly in local languages, lions snarling, gun shots with or without barking dogs and the calls of regional birds.
The researchers captured 15,000 videos of 19 species of animals reacting to their recordings. They found that wildlife except lions ran around in response to human voices more than to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to escape.
The findings highlight the damaging impact that our presence could potentially be having significant ecological (生态的) results. Even so, the findings could lead to positive outcomes as well. Human voices might prevent wildlife from entering crop fields or farms.
23. Why are some animals fearful of human beings?
A. Human beings are the strongest.
B. Human beings make them out of water.
C. Human beings may have caused great damage.
D. Human beings can make the loudest voice in the world.
24. What can be inferred about Greater Kruger National Park?
A. There are many lions there.
B. There are 21 waterholes there.
C. It is easy to set up loudspeakers there.
D. It is easy to record the local people’s activities.
25. Which animal responded to human voices least?
A. Elephants. B. Giraffes. C. Lions. D. Dogs.
26. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The advantages of human voices to animals.
B. The damaging impact of human presence.
C. The significant ecological results of human voices.
D. The impact and possible application of human voices.
【答案】23. C 24. A 25. C 26. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家的一项研究:野生动物其实更害怕人类的声音。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“But whether you’re a wildlife tourist, or a poacher (盗猎者), or whatever, you’re all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.(但无论你是野生动物游客,还是偷猎者,或者其他什么人,你都会被视为同样的东西。人类的存在同样危险,不管你是什么类型的人)”可知,不管你是什么类型的人——观看野生动物的游客、盗猎者或其他什么人,在野生动物眼里,你都是一样的——人类的存在对它们来说都是一样的危险,因此可以推断出,动物们曾经被人类伤害过,给它们带来过危险,所以它们才会非常恐惧人类。故选C。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句中的“They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 meters away from animal paths near 21 waterholes in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world.(他们在距离南非大克鲁格国家公园21个水坑附近的动物通道10米远的树上安装了扬声器和摄像头,这里是世界上现存狮子数量最多的国家之一)”可知,南非大克鲁格国家公园是世界上现存狮子数量最多的地方之一,即那里有很多的狮子。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句“They found that wildlife except lions ran around in response to human voices more than to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to escape.(他们发现,除了狮子之外,野生动物对人类声音的反应比其他任何声音都要快,而且逃跑的速度也快40%)”可知,他们发现除了狮子之外,野生动物对人类声音的反应比其他任何声音都要快。故选C。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段内容“The findings highlight the damaging impact that our presence could potentially be having significant ecological (生态的) results. Even so, the findings could lead to positive outcomes as well. Human voices might prevent wildlife from entering crop fields or farms.(这些发现强调了我们的存在可能会产生重大生态结果的破坏性影响。即便如此,这些发现也可能带来积极的结果。人类的声音可能会阻止野生动物进入农田或农场)”可知,这些发现强调了我们的存在可能会产生重大的破坏性的生态后果;同时,这些发现也可能带来积极的结果,人类的声音可能会阻止野生动物进入农田或农场,即最后一段讲述的是人类的声音所带来的影响和可能的应用。故选D。

As more and more people speak the global languages of EnglishChinese, Spanish,and Arabic,other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss,scholars from a number of organizations — UNESCO and National Geographic among them — have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center,Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials — including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes — which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now, through the two organizations that he has founded — the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project — Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world,available not just to scholars but to the youngers.
Generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.
27. Many scholars are making efforts to________.
A promote global language B. rescue disappearing languages
C. search for language communities D. set up language research organizations
28. What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Having full records of the languages. B. Writing books on language teaching.
C. Telling stories about language users. D. Living with the native speakers.
29. What is Turin’s book based on?
A The cultural studies in India. B. The documents available at Yale.
C. His language research in Bhutan. D. His personal experience in Nepal.
30. Which of the following best describes Turin’s work?
A. Write, sell and donate. B. Record, repair and reward.
C. Design, experiment and report. D. Collect, protect and reconnect.
【答案】27. B 28. A 29. D 30. D
【解析】

Whether food colorings come naturally or artificially, there are health and safety concerns about them. ____34____ But they have been removed from the market due to health concerns, and some people thus try to avoid food colorings. However, avoiding food colorings can actually be quite difficult.
____35____ Many governments around the world limit the types of things that can be used in food colorings. And different countries have different labeling (贴标签) systems for food colorings, which allow people to be clear what food coloring it is. Many countries also make certain rules and laws to deal with adding and creating food colorings illegally.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是TikTok在英国作为新闻来源的快速崛起及其对年轻一代获取信息习惯的影响。
【51题详解】
考查名词。句意:这项增长主要由年轻用户推动,平台一半的新闻关注者年龄在16至24岁之间。此处为名词作主语,grow的名词为growth意为“增长”且为不可数名词。故填growth。
【52题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这项增长主要由年轻用户推动,平台一半的新闻关注者年龄在16至24岁之间。此处为形容词短语作后置定语修饰followers,age的形容词aged表示“……岁”符合句意。故填aged。
【53题详解】
考查副词。句意:“如今的青少年越来越难拿起报纸,或者收看电视新闻频道,反而更愿意通过滚动社交媒体信息流来保持更新。”英国通讯管理局战略和研究小组组长Yih-Choung Teh如是说。此处为副词修饰形容词unlikely,increasing的副词形式为increasingly意为“越来越”符合句意。故填increasingly。
【54题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:“如今的青少年越来越难拿起报纸,或者收看电视新闻频道,反而更愿意通过滚动社交媒体信息流来保持更新。”英国通讯管理局战略和研究小组组长Yih-Choung Teh如是说。prefer to do sth.“更喜欢做某事”是固定搭配。故填to keep。
【55题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:虽然年轻人认为社交媒体上的新闻不太可靠,但他们对这些服务给予了更高的评价,因为它们提供了当天热门话题的各种意见。结合句意,上下文之间为让步关系,所以此处使用从属连词while或although或though引导的让步状语从句,表达尽管存在可靠性问题,但年轻人仍然重视社交平台上不同的观点。故填while/although/though。
【56题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:虽然年轻人认为社交媒体上的新闻不太可靠,但他们对这些服务给予了更高的评价,因为它们提供了当天热门话题的各种意见。此处为名词作宾语,opinion意为“意见”或“看法”,空前有a range of意为“一系列的,许多的”修饰,所以此处使用名词复数形式。故填opinions。
【57题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:路透社新闻研究所的高级研究员尼古拉斯·纽曼说,研究所自己的研究显示TikTok并未被用作严肃时事的平台。此处为省略连接词that的宾语从句的谓语动词,主句为谓语动词为said,所以此处使用一般过去时,且与主语之间为主动关系。故填indicated。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:路透社新闻研究所的高级研究员尼古拉斯·纽曼说,研究所自己的研究显示TikTok并未被用作严肃时事的平台。此处为固定短语be used as意为“被用作……”符合句意,此处使用表达“作为”的介词,应为介词as。故填as。
【59题详解】
考查冠词。句意:但年轻人认为它是获得名人新闻或不是关乎生死的问题的好地方。place为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,所以此处使用冠词,结合句意,此处为表达“一个好地方”表示泛指,所以此处使用不定冠词,good的首个音素为辅音,所以此处使用不定冠词a。故填a。
【60题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:当发生像乌克兰战争这样真正重要的事情时,他们经常会在传统新闻和TikTok之间组合使用。此处为时间状语从句的谓语动词,主句为一般将来时,按照“主将从现”的原则,此处使用一般现在时,主语为第三人称单数。故填happens。

【答案】Dear fellow students,
As a high school student, I know that a beautiful high school campus is of great significance to all of us. It is not just a place for study but a community for us to spend a large part of our daily lives.
Sadly, there are some uncivilized behaviors on our campus that are ruining this beauty. For instance, some students throw rubbish everywhere casually. This not only makes the campus dirty but also creates an unpleasant smell. There are also cases where students do not respect the campus plants and flowers, trampling on them without a second thought.
So, it’s high time for us to take action. Not only should we raise our awareness of environmental protection but also we should stop scribbling randomly. Let’s join hands and make our campus a more beautiful place to study and live.
Yours,
Li Hua
