Amy Purdy’s life has always been about doing the impossible. At 19 years old, Amy started to feel ill. As she felt worse, she thought of it as a flu. But, while taking an afternoon sleep, she suddenly was awake. “I heard a voice telling me to get up and look in the mirror,” she said during an interview with Oprah on her show Super Soul Sunday. “I looked at my reflection in the mirror,” she said, “I saw that my nose and my cheeks were purple… And I knew something was wrong.” Amy got a serious disease. Shortly after she was rushed to the hospital, something terribly wrong was found in her body. Though she was put on life support, doctors said her chance of survival was less than 2%.
After an operation (手术), her body was still in a bad condition and she lost both her legs. But she was alive. The recovery was long and hard. When she felt extremely painful, Amy thought about all the things that she loved, especially her favorite sport, which gave her the strength to hold on.
Amy challenged herself to move forward with her life and achieved goals that even those who have both legs struggle to achieve. Using false legs, Amy relearned how to walk. Within four months, she was back to her favorite sport — snowboarding. She entered her first snowboarding competition just a year after her operation.
Now, Amy Purdy is a New York Times best-selling author, whose works have been translated into 10 different languages. Now Amy is trying her best to help her community and audience live through life’s difficulties.

Global warming is greatly affecting sea turtle babies — 99% of them are being born female. Sea turtle populations have been facing an obvious population drop, which are further worsened by climate change.
Floridian sea turtles for the past four years have been facing the hottest summers in Florida state history. Bette Zirkelback, a manager of the Turtle Hospital within the Florida Keys, noted that, “Scientists, who are studying sea turtle hatching (孵化), have found no male sea turtles and only female sea turtles for the past four years.”
This surprising trend shows how climate change is affecting the species and how animals struggle to adapt to these unnatural changes. Commonly, sex is determined before birth, but in sea turtles, something unique happens. When female sea turtles bury their eggs in the sand, the sex is decided by the temperature of the sand on the beaches. These turtle eggs will hatch for around two months, and their sex is decided by a temperature difference of around 4 degrees. Sea turtles that hatch below 27.7℃ will be born male. If sea turtles hatch above 31℃, they will be born female.
Melissa Rosales Rodriguez, a sea turtle keeper at the Miami Zoo Turtle Hospital, expressed her concerns saying, “In the years to come, we’re going to see an obvious drop in their population because we just don’t have the genetic diversity (基因多样性). We don’t have the male-to-female rate needed in order to be able to have enough sea turtle babies.”
Therefore, in sea turtle hatching grounds around the world, there is a huge need for sea turtle protection centers to ensure the future of sea turtles.
8. What is the major threat to sea turtles?
A. Habitat loss. B. Human activities.
C. Climate change. D. Water pollution.
9. What can be inferred about sea turtles from Paragraph 3?
A. They have a fixed male-to-female rate.
B. They require high temperatures to hatch.
C. Their eggs are laid on the beach surface.
D. Their sex is affected by sand temperature.
10. What does the author suggest for sea turtles?
A. Establishing preservation sites globally.
B. Improving the success rate of hatching.
C. Fixing the sand temperature to a fit level.
D. Protecting the eggs from their enemies.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Ways to Ensure the Future of Sea Turtles
B. The Drop of Female Sea Turtle Populations
C. Why 99% of Sea Turtles Are Born Female?
D. How Climate Change Is Killing Sea Turtles?
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了全球变暖对海龟宝宝的影响,导致99%的海龟宝宝出生时都是雌性,并介绍了这一现象的原因及可能带来的问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Global warming is greatly affecting sea turtle babies — 99%of them are being born female. Sea turtle populations have been facing an obvious population drop, which are further worsened by climate change. (全球变暖正极大地影响着海龟宝宝——99%的海龟宝宝出生时都是雌性。海龟种群数量一直在明显下降,而气候变化加剧了这一趋势)”可知,海龟面临的主要威胁是气候变化。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“When female sea turtles bury their eggs in the sand, the sex is decided by the temperature of the sand on the beaches. These turtle eggs will hatch for around two months, and their sex is decided by a temperature difference of around 4 degrees. Sea turtles that hatch below 27.7℃ will be born male. If sea turtles hatch above 31℃, they will be born female. (当雌性海龟把蛋埋在沙子里时,性别由海滩上沙子的温度决定。这些海龟蛋会孵化大约两个月,它们的性别由大约4度的温差决定。在27.7℃以下孵化的海龟将是雄性。如果海龟在31℃以上孵化,它们将是雌性)”可知,海龟的性别受沙子温度的影响。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Therefore, in sea turtle hatching grounds around the world, there is a huge need for sea turtle protection centers to ensure the future of sea turtles. (因此,在世界各地的海龟孵化场,非常需要海龟保护中心来确保海龟的未来)”可知,作者建议为全球海龟建立保护区。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Global warming is greatly affecting sea turtle babies — 99%of them are being born female. (全球变暖正极大地影响着海龟宝宝——99%的海龟宝宝出生时都是雌性)”及全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了全球变暖导致99%的海龟宝宝出生时都是雌性这一现象,并解释了其原因及可能带来的问题。全文围绕着为什么 99% 的海龟出生为雌性展开,所以“Why 99% of Sea Turtles Are Born Female? (为什么99%的海龟都是雌性?)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C项。
D
Ong uyan madongo? You probably don’t know how to answer this question — unless you happen to be one of the nearly 430 people in the world who speak a language called Matukar Panau. Then you would know it means “How are you?”
Matukar Panau is one of the world’s rarest languages. It is spoken in just two small coastal villages in Papua New Guinea. With so few speakers the language is vanishing and endangered. It has so few speakers that its words soon may never be spoken or heard again. David Harrison, a language expert at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, together with his teammates, didn’t want that to happen to Matukar Panau. So they set out for Papua New Guinea. Their goal: use modern technology to help the remaining speakers preserve their native tongue.
They interviewed native speakers and to their surprise, the locals replied with excitement and said the language “is important for our identity (身份认同).” These villagers even knew the Internet existed. They also knew it was a powerful tool for learning and sharing information. So these people wanted to use the Internet to help them.
Together with the scientists, these villagers created a “talking dictionary”. This online resource provides translations between English and Matukar Panau and also includes the pronunciations, so users can listen to the correct pronunciation of each word.
That same year, electricity and the Internet reached those coastal villages. For many, a first stop on the Internet was the “talking dictionary” they had helped create. It now includes more than 4,000 words and 171 photos that help explain those words.
“The first time they saw the Internet, they could hear the voices of their elders and see them speaking their language,” Harrison said. The moment was powerful because it showed these villagers “their language is just as good as any other.”
12. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To explain an idea.
C. To provide an example. D. To make comparisons.
13. What does the underlined word “vanishing” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Changing. B. Disappearing. C. Improving. D. Spreading.
14. What amazed the researchers when interviewing the villagers?
A. Their use of the Internet. B. Their protection of the coast.
C. Their need to share information. D. Their wish to protect the language.
15. How does the “talking dictionary” work?
A. It teaches villagers how to get online.
B. It helps natives master other languages.
C. It turns written words into spoken ones.
D. It records words and related information.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种濒危语言——Matukar Panau,以及科学家和当地村民如何通过现代技术保护这种语言。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Ong uyan madongo? You probably don’t know how to answer this question—unless you happen to be one of the nearly 430 people in the world who speak a language called Matukar Panau. Then you would know it means “How are you?”(Ong uyan madongo?你可能不知道如何回答这个问题——除非你恰好是世界上近430个会说一种叫做Matukar Panau的语言的人之一。那么你就会知道它的意思是“你好吗?”)”可知,本段通过提出一个问题引出本文要讲述的一种稀有的语言Matukar Panau,目的是引出话题。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“With so few speakers, the language is vanishing and endangered.(由于使用者太少,这种语言正在vanishing并濒临灭绝)”中“so few speakers”和“endangered”可知,说Matukar Panau语言的人太少,这种语言处于濒危之中。由此推知,划线词vanishing意思是 “消失”,与disappearing同义。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“They interviewed native speakers and to their surprise, the locals replied with excitement and said the language “is important for our identity (身份认同).”(他们采访了以Matukar Panau为母语的人,令他们惊讶的是,当地人兴奋地回答说,这种语言“对我们的身份认同很重要”)”可知,当研究人员采访村民时,让他们惊讶的是村民们保护语言的愿望。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Together with the scientists, these villagers created a “talking dictionary”. This online resource provides translations between English and Matukar Panau and also includes the pronunciations, so users can listen to the correct pronunciation of each word.(这些村民与科学家们一起创建了一本“会说话的字典”。这个在线资源提供了英语和Matukar Panau语之间的翻译,还包括发音,所以用户可以听到每个单词的正确发音)”可知,“会说话的字典”将书面文字转化成发音,用户可以听到每个单词的正确发音。故选C项。

【答案】36. be preserved
37. which 38. a
39. to focus
40. consideration
41. for 42. finally
43. them 44. giving
45. designed
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当地一位艺术家在中国西南部的贵州省建立了一个银匠村,目的是为了保护苗族的许多非物质文化遗产项目,促进当地传统技艺、知识和文化项目的传承。
【36题详解】
考查语态。句意:目的是促进当地传统技艺、知识和文化项目的传承,使它们能够代代相传并被保存下来。preserve (保存)是从句中谓语动词,与主语they之间是被动关系,情态动词can后接动词原形,故用被动语态be preserved。故填be preserved。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:银匠村占地3.33公顷(33300平方米),有30多栋房屋,这些房屋都经过精心布置。“ have all been carefully arranged”是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词houses,指物,关系词将其代入从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:当地银器制作大师王国春说,虽然他建立了自己的事业,但重要的是要关注传承苗族当地的知识和技艺。可数名词master在句中表示“一位当地银器制作大师”,泛指,且local是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当地银器制作大师王国春说,虽然他建立了自己的事业,但重要的是要关注传承苗族当地的知识和技艺。“it is + 形容词 + to do sth.”是固定句型,其中 it 是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式,所以此处填 to focus作主语。故填to focus。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:经过多年的考虑,王发现以手工鸟笼闻名的卡拉村将是一个完美的选择。提示词作介词宾语,用名词consideration,意为“考虑”,不可数名词。故填consideration。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:经过多年的考虑,王发现以手工鸟笼闻名的卡拉村将是一个完美的选择。be known for是固定短语,意为 “因……而闻名”,符合语境。故填for。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:所以他最终做出了选择。提法词修饰动词made,应用副词finally作状语,意为“最终”。故填finally。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意:他买下了40栋老建筑,把它们拆成更小的部分,然后把其他材料运到村里。提示词作宾语,用宾格形式them。故填them。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:然后,他用二手材料重建了这些建筑,赋予了古建筑新的生命。“____ (give) the ancient buildings a new life”作结果状语,give(赋予)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语he之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词表主动。故填giving。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些建筑主要以传统风格设计,是当地艺术家和苗族人民的重要收入来源。“____ (design) mainly in the traditional styles” 作后置定语,design(设计)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语 buildings 之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词表被动。故填designed。

47. 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。
When I was in college, I had to work on weekends to pay for the bills that my family couldn’t really afford (like a notebook computer, class trip, and dinner parties with friends).
One Sunday morning, when I was driving to my workplace, my old car was running out of gas and I had to pull into a gas station. After gassing up my car, I paid for the bill and then dropped my wallet somewhere around the gas station, and drove off. I hadn’t even had time to realize what had happened when my phone rang. A man asked me if I had lost my wallet. I checked my pocket and bag. And I failed to find it! He asked me to tell him how much money was in it, and I told him. After he made sure that the wallet did belong to me, he told me where to pick it up.
As I pulled into his driveway, I noticed his handicapped van (残疾人货车) and the special stairs for the disabled going up to the house. I was thinking that there was no way this man could easily get out of his handicapped van and pick my wallet up from the ground. He had to pull over, lower the lift, get in his wheelchair, and then pick it up. I was just amazed and felt sorry for him deep down in my heart.
I knocked on the door and he told me to come in. I thanked him like 10 times for finding my wallet. He didn’t say much and asked me to keep the wallet with care in the future. While I didn’t want to insult (冒犯) him by offering money, I really felt like offering something. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness.
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。
A moment later, looking into my eyes, he said, “Just pass it on.”

One day about 10 years later, I found a wallet.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
A moment later, looking into my eyes, he said, “Just pass it on.” I was a bit confused at first, but then I realized the profound meaning behind his words. It wasn’t about material rewards; it was about the power of kindness spreading from one person to another. I nodded firmly, promising myself that I would always be ready to help others in need. As I left his house, I carried this new-found mission in my heart, determined to make a difference in someone else’s life.
One day about 10 years later, I found a wallet. Inside it were a driver’s license, some cash, and several credit cards. Remembering what the kind man had told me, I didn’t hesitate. I immediately called the number on the driver’s license. When the owner arrived, he was extremely grateful, just as I had been all those years ago. I simply smiled and said, “Just pass it on.” Seeing the surprised yet touched look on his face, I knew that the chain of kindness was still going strong, and it would continue to brighten the world, one good deed at a time.

Amy Purdy’s life has always been about doing the impossible. At 19 years old, Amy started to feel ill. As she felt worse, she thought of it as a flu. But, while taking an afternoon sleep, she suddenly was awake. “I heard a voice telling me to get up and look in the mirror,” she said during an interview with Oprah on her show Super Soul Sunday. “I looked at my reflection in the mirror,” she said, “I saw that my nose and my cheeks were purple… And I knew something was wrong.” Amy got a serious disease. Shortly after she was rushed to the hospital, something terribly wrong was found in her body. Though she was put on life support, doctors said her chance of survival was less than 2%.
After an operation (手术), her body was still in a bad condition and she lost both her legs. But she was alive. The recovery was long and hard. When she felt extremely painful, Amy thought about all the things that she loved, especially her favorite sport, which gave her the strength to hold on.
Amy challenged herself to move forward with her life and achieved goals that even those who have both legs struggle to achieve. Using false legs, Amy relearned how to walk. Within four months, she was back to her favorite sport — snowboarding. She entered her first snowboarding competition just a year after her operation.
Now, Amy Purdy is a New York Times best-selling author, whose works have been translated into 10 different languages. Now Amy is trying her best to help her community and audience live through life’s difficulties.
4. What can we learn about Purdy from Paragraph 1?

Global warming is greatly affecting sea turtle babies — 99% of them are being born female. Sea turtle populations have been facing an obvious population drop, which are further worsened by climate change.
Floridian sea turtles for the past four years have been facing the hottest summers in Florida state history. Bette Zirkelback, a manager of the Turtle Hospital within the Florida Keys, noted that, “Scientists, who are studying sea turtle hatching (孵化), have found no male sea turtles and only female sea turtles for the past four years.”
This surprising trend shows how climate change is affecting the species and how animals struggle to adapt to these unnatural changes. Commonly, sex is determined before birth, but in sea turtles, something unique happens. When female sea turtles bury their eggs in the sand, the sex is decided by the temperature of the sand on the beaches. These turtle eggs will hatch for around two months, and their sex is decided by a temperature difference of around 4 degrees. Sea turtles that hatch below 27.7℃ will be born male. If sea turtles hatch above 31℃, they will be born female.
Melissa Rosales Rodriguez, a sea turtle keeper at the Miami Zoo Turtle Hospital, expressed her concerns saying, “In the years to come, we’re going to see an obvious drop in their population because we just don’t have the genetic diversity (基因多样性). We don’t have the male-to-female rate needed in order to be able to have enough sea turtle babies.”
Therefore, in sea turtle hatching grounds around the world, there is a huge need for sea turtle protection centers to ensure the future of sea turtles.
8. What is the major threat to sea turtles?
A. Habitat loss. B. Human activities.
C. Climate change. D. Water pollution.
9. What can be inferred about sea turtles from Paragraph 3?
A. They have a fixed male-to-female rate.
B. They require high temperatures to hatch.
C. Their eggs are laid on the beach surface.
D. Their sex is affected by sand temperature.
10. What does the author suggest for sea turtles?
A. Establishing preservation sites globally.
B. Improving the success rate of hatching.
C. Fixing the sand temperature to a fit level.
D. Protecting the eggs from their enemies.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Ways to Ensure the Future of Sea Turtles
B. The Drop of Female Sea Turtle Populations
C. Why 99% of Sea Turtles Are Born Female?
D How Climate Change Is Killing Sea Turtles?

Ong uyan madongo? You probably don’t know how to answer this question — unless you happen to be one of the nearly 430 people in the world who speak a language called Matukar Panau. Then you would know it means “How are you?”
Matukar Panau is one of the world’s rarest languages. It is spoken in just two small coastal villages in Papua New Guinea. With so few speakers, the language is vanishing and endangered. It has so few speakers that its words soon may never be spoken or heard again. David Harrison, a language expert at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, together with his teammates, didn’t want that to happen to Matukar Panau. So they set out for Papua New Guinea. Their goal: use modern technology to help the remaining speakers preserve their native tongue.
They interviewed native speakers and to their surprise, the locals replied with excitement and said the language “is important for our identity (身份认同).” These villagers even knew the Internet existed. They also knew it was a powerful tool for learning and sharing information. So these people wanted to use the Internet to help them.
Together with the scientists, these villagers created a “talking dictionary”. This online resource provides translations between English and Matukar Panau and also includes the pronunciations, so users can listen to the correct pronunciation of each word.
That same year, electricity and the Internet reached those coastal villages. For many, a first stop on the Internet was the “talking dictionary” they had helped create. It now includes more than 4,000 words and 171 photos that help explain those words.
“The first time they saw the Internet, they could hear the voices of their elders and see them speaking their language,” Harrison said. The moment was powerful because it showed these villagers “their language is just as good as any other.”
12. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To explain an idea.

47. 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。
When I was in college, I had to work on weekends to pay for the bills that my family couldn’t really afford (like a notebook computer, class trip, and dinner parties with friends).
One Sunday morning, when I was driving to my workplace, my old car was running out of gas and I had to pull into a gas station. After gassing up my car, I paid for the bill and then dropped my wallet somewhere around the gas station, and drove off. I hadn’t even had time to realize what had happened when my phone rang. A man asked me if I had lost my wallet. I checked my pocket and bag. And I failed to find it! He asked me to tell him how much money was in it, and I told him. After he made sure that the wallet did belong to me, he told me where to pick it up.
As I pulled into his driveway, I noticed his handicapped van (残疾人货车) and the special stairs for the disabled going up to the house. I was thinking that there was no way this man could easily get out of his handicapped van and pick my wallet up from the ground. He had to pull over, lower the lift, get in his wheelchair, and then pick it up. I was just amazed and felt sorry for him deep down in my heart.
I knocked on the door and he told me to come in. I thanked him like 10 times for finding my wallet. He didn’t say much and asked me to keep the wallet with care in the future. While I didn’t want to insult (冒犯) him by offering money, I really felt like offering something. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness.
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。
A moment later, looking into my eyes, he said, “Just pass it on.”
