(2023·广东广州高二期末)
Since I was born and brought up in a rural town,I have a great interest in nature.Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college,I decided to go to Canada just because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there.So after I finished the study,I went to Yellowknife in the Northwest.I clearly remember the sixth night in Yellowknife.Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8 p.m. and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.
The northern lights were flickering(闪烁) in the sky!I was amazed and just stood there with my mouth open.I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.
Since that night,whenever it was sunny,I went outside at night and looked at the sky.It was so cold that my hands and feet were numb with cold.Actually,the time of my being able to be out was limited.I had to bring her camera back to the house in one hour at the most,for the camera was going to be broken because of the cold temperature.
As I took pictures of the northern lights,I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights.They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south.After that,suddenly,they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while,which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen.Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky,it is very hard to get good pictures.
The stronger the sun acts,the better and stronger northern lights flicker in the sky.That’s because they occur from the collision(碰撞)between atmospheric gases and solar wind.Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active,leading to the best northern lights.

语篇解读 本文是说明文。文章介绍了中国筹建的大熊猫国家公园的相关情况。
1.答案 Covering
解析 考查非谓语动词。设空处在句中作非谓语,cover和句子的主语the GPNP为逻辑上的主谓关系,应用现在分词形式作状语,此空位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Covering。
2.答案 the
解析 考查冠词。“倍数+the+名词+of”是倍数的一种表达方式。故填the。
3.答案 were
解析 考查时态和主谓一致。空前that指代先行词areas,作主语,根据previously可知时态是一般过去时,根据主谓一致原则,从句主语是复数,从句谓语应用复数形式。故填were。
4.答案 to increase
解析 考查非谓语动词。设空处在句中作目的状语,应用动词的不定式形式。故填to increase。
5.答案 is designed
解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。设空处在句中作谓语,和句子的主语The GPNP之间为被动关系;叙述客观事实,应用一般现在时。故设空处应为一般现在时的被动语态;主语是单数,谓语应用单数形式。故填is designed。
6.答案 and
解析 考查连词。空前的“protecting...preserving...protecting...”与空后的“leaving...”为并列关系,都作of的宾语,因此用and连接。故填and。
7.答案 populations
解析 考查名词复数。设空处和and后的复数名词homes并列在句中作宾语,应用可数名词population(种群)的复数形式。故填populations。
8.答案 eventually
解析 考查词性转换。用副词修饰动词achieve。故填eventually。
9.答案 as
解析 考查介词。serve as“担任,充当”,是固定短语。故填as。
10.答案 that
解析 考查定语从句。空格处引导定语从句,先行词species在从句中作主语,且前面有all修饰,只能用关系代词that引导。故填that。
