Firemen had been fighting the forest fire for nearly three weeks before they could get it under control.A short time before,great trees had covered the countryside for miles around.Now,smoke still rose up from the warm ground over the desolate hills.Winter was coming and the hills threatened the surrounding villages,for heavy rain would not only wash away the soil but would cause serious floods as well.When the fire had at last been put out,the forest authorities ordered several tons of a special type of grass seed which would grow quickly.The seed was sprayed over the ground in huge quantities by planes.The planes had been planting seeds for nearly a month when it began to rain.By then,however,in many places the grass had already taken root.In place of the great trees,green grass had begun to appear in the blackened soil.

The Royal Ballet is to stage a performance featuring a disabled dancer,recognizing that being inclusive(包容) is “not just about diversity of race,but also about diversity of physical ability”.
Joe Powell-Main,who uses a wheelchair and sticks to perform,tells a story about overcoming life’s obstacles to pursue a dream that he has had since he was five.Having danced from the age of four,he won a place at the famous Royal Ballet School(RBS),even performing as a student in a Royal Ballet staging of The Nutcracker—only to see his hopes of becoming a professional dancer hit by a condition that affected his mobility.
During his fourth year of training,he developed injuries following a period of growth,leading to surgery on his left knee.Complications(并发症) developed and a serious car accident took a further toll on his body,bringing his training to an end.Aged 15,he was using a wheelchair and assumed he would never dance again.
But his life was transformed after his mother spotted a leaflet about wheelchair dancing,which played a part in helping him to accept his disability.Powell-Main recalled,“When I acquired my disability,I completely thought dance wasn’t an option for me and was completely over.Then why not ballet? In terms of partnering,it’s a new way of doing things.”
He took part in the Royal Ballet’s platform Draft Works,which has now been extended and he’ll perform it as a 10-minute duet(双人舞) with Lubach.“Powell-Main made an impression on me.Dancing with him was really special,which has opened up refreshing possibilities,new ways of partnering,sharing weight between each other,using speed and dynamic in different ways,” Lubach said.
Emma Southworth,the Royal Ballet’s creative producer,said,“If someone has a wheelchair,what are the possibilities of moving in a wheelchair? If the stick becomes the extension of the arm,what does that mean? If we’re really being properly inclusive,we’ve got to look at how we work with disabled performers.”

Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats,or homelands,are disappearing.
Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting the places for birds to stop,rest and feed.The scientists studied the migration or flight paths of almost 1,500 species.They decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas.
The major danger for migratory birds is development.Buildings and pavements have covered the places where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another.One of the scientists who worked on the study says,“Many of these important places have been lost to land reclamation(开垦) because of urban,industrial and agricultural land expansion.”
The problem,according to scientists,is that many of these small birds die along their migration paths because they don’t have a safe place to feed and rest.There is no place to restore their energy for the next part of their journey.Countries in North Africa,Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time in protecting land.The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds.One species that doesn’t exist now is the Eskimo curlew.“Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says.
The researchers say countries need to work together and come up with safe stopping areas for birds that pass through their boundaries.For example,one country might have preserved safe zones for migrating birds.But a neighbor country might not.A bird might die.
One scientist who is not connected with the report tells Los Angeles Times that while some habitats are changing,more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds.
He says small changes,like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of the areas birds would be likely to use,could make a big difference.
语篇解读 本文为说明文。研究表明,人类对土地的过度开发使得候鸟的沿途栖息地遭到了严重的破坏,导致了大量鸟类物种消亡。
28.What mainly caused the disappearing of birds’ habitats?
A.The decrease of awareness to protect birds.
B.Natural disasters.
C.The overuse of land by human beings.
D.The rising sea level.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段可知,鸟类栖息地的消失主要是因为人类过度使用土地。故选C。
29.What may be the main reason for many birds’ death on the way of migration?
A.Exhaustion and hunger.
B.Beast attack on the ground.
C.Hunting of humans.
D.The long journey.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句可知,许多鸟类在迁徙途中死亡的主要原因是没有安全的地方用于休息和进食,即它们主要死于疲惫和饥饿。故选A。
30.According to the last two paragraphs,how should we protect the migrating birds?
A.By keeping fewer cats or dogs.
B.By restoring their destroyed habitats.
C.By helping change the birds’ migration paths.
D.By preserving the ecological environments on their migration paths.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据最后两段列举的两项举措可推断出,我们要保护好迁徙的鸟类,就要保护好迁徙途中的生态环境。故选D。
31.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To tell us a huge percentage of bird species are in danger.
B.To call on people to protect the birds’ habitats.
C.To offer some solutions to the problem of birds’ habitats.
D.To analyze the reasons for the disappearing of birds’ habitats.
答案 B
解析 写作意图题。文章第一段指出很多鸟类正处于危险之中,因为它们的栖息地或家园正在消失;第二段至第四段叙述了鸟类栖息地消失的原因及存在的安全隐患;最后三段号召大家共同努力一起保护鸟类栖息地。由此可推知,B项(呼吁人们保护鸟类的栖息地)是作者的写作目的。故选B。
D
Today,we’re routinely holding video conferences that are 100% virtual(虚拟).And this is creating a problem that technology can’t fix.
The problem is us,specifically the fact that we haven’t evolved socially to the point where we can bear much separation.So much of our well-being and work productivity is decided on how close we are physically.The removal of that for any period of time can be severely damaging.One surprising victim of social distancing is laughter.
Normally people laugh about 18 times per day.And 97% of that time we’re laughing with others—we are 30 times more likely to laugh with others than to laugh alone.Think about it: how often when you and your friends laugh at something,is that something actually funny? Research shows that 80% of what people laugh at is really not that funny.
So why do people laugh? They laugh in order to laugh with others.Just as everyone starts yawning(打哈欠) when just one person yawns,most people can’t help but laugh when those around them do.This is why TV comedy shows often use pre-recorded laugh tracks.
Laughing in response to other people’s laughing is not just a behavioral phenomenon.When we laugh,our body produces two key chemicals: endorphin which helps relieve pain and sets off feelings of pleasure,and dopamine which can improve learning,motivation and attention.In fact,studies show that people can stand 15% more pain simply by laughing for a few minutes beforehand.Laughter is also associated with higher motivation and productivity at work.
In today’s home-alone,virtual-team world,this is exactly what you as a team leader should be doing: for your team members to stay healthy and productive,you need to get them to laugh more and stress less.
32.What is the problem mentioned at the start of the text?
A.Physical weakness.
B.Lack of technology.
C.Social distancing.
D.Reliance on virtual conference.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段内容和第二段前两句可知,文章开头提到的问题是社交距离。故选C。
33.The underlined word “This” in paragraph 4 refers to the fact that .
A.laugh tracks are popular
B.laughing is uncontrollable
C.laughing starts with yawning
D.laughing comes more easily in groups
答案 D
解析 代词指代题。根据画线词前的“most people can’t help but laugh when those around them do”可知,This指代的是上文提到的在群体中人们容易一起发笑这个事实。故选D。
34.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.Why laughing is important to work.
B.How laughing keeps us physically healthy.
C.Whether laughing is a behavioral phenomenon.
D.What chemicals our body produces when we laugh.
答案 A
解析 段落大意题。根据第五段内容尤其最后一句可知,本段主要讲的是为什么笑对工作很重要。故选A。
35.What would the author most probably discuss next?
A.Other factors that may influence a team’s health.
B.Concrete steps to produce laughter in a team.
C.Ways to tell the real world from the virtual world.
D.The importance of maintaining work productivity.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“...for your team members to stay healthy and productive,you need to get them to laugh more and stress less.”可推知,文章接下来最可能讲到在团队中制造笑声的具体步骤。故选B。
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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you had a meltdown lately?An emotional meltdown isn’t exactly a medical disease. 36 It’s a popular term used to describe a situation where we are overcome emotionally or hit a breaking point.
How do you feel after you’ve had a meltdown? Do you feel embarrassed about your behavior? 37 An occasional meltdown doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you.It may just be an indicator of a challenging time for you.
While most people would rather forget a meltdown as quickly as possible,it can be a learning experience.
If you feel embarrassed about revealing your emotions in public,you might examine how you feel about your feelings.Why isn’t it okay for you to be angry,or to be sad,or to need something from someone else? 38 So,be kind to yourself.
If your meltdown involved raising your voice at other people or behavior like throwing an object in the presence of others,apologize and come up with a plan to manage your emotions differently the next time you’re upset or stressed.If you find this type of behavior is common for you and you’re having difficulty managing it on your own,consider reaching to a psychologist. 39 It damages another person’s attitude and eats into their health.
40 Your experience serves a basis for reflection.Be kind to yourself and find some helpful ways to deal with meltdowns.
A.It can happen to anyone.
B.Are you a happy person?
C.Learn from every meltdown.
D.There are some negative effects about meltdown.
E.Shaming yourself about your emotion is not helpful.
F.Are you anxious about possible consequences for your outburst?
G.Having an emotional meltdown is never an excuse for abusive behavior.
36.答案 A
解析 空前一句指出,情绪崩溃不算疾病;空后一句通过解释情绪崩溃的定义说明了情绪崩溃是很常见的。所以A项(它可能发生在任何人身上)符合语境,且A项中“It”指代前文中的“An emotional meltdown”。故选A。
37.答案 F
解析 根据前文“How do you feel after you’ve had a meltdown? Do you feel embarrassed about your behavior?”可推知,空处也应是与情绪崩溃时的感受有关的问题,F项(你担心你的爆发可能带来的后果吗?)符合题意,与前文并列。故选F。
38.答案 E
解析 空前一句说明感到生气、悲伤和需要别人帮助都是正常的;结合后文“So,be kind to yourself.”可知,没必要因此而自责。E项(为自己的情绪感到羞愧是没有帮助的)承上启下,符合语境。故选E。
39.答案 G
解析 根据后文“It damages another person’s attitude and eats into their health.”可知,空处应提到了一种会对别人造成伤害的行为。G项(情绪崩溃绝不是虐待行为的借口)符合语境,后文“It”指代G项中“abusive behavior”。故选G。
40.答案 C
解析 根据后文“Your experience serves a basis for reflection.”可知,我们可以从情绪崩溃中反思、学到一些东西。C项(从每次崩溃中学习)符合语境,引领后文。故选C。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)

However,my daughter has more books now than I owned during my whole childhood.So it’s probably my 45 that she didn’t cherish the books.“Sorry,I can’t find it,” my daughter said with a shrug.“We just pay $20 for the book.What’s the big 46 ?” The missing library book just met with a cold 47 from her,but it met with nail-biting 48 from me.I walked into the library in a deep 49 as if I had lost the book.
Feeling the need to make her feel responsible for the book,I asked her to do the chores.She agreed to clean up all the pets’ houses 50 my paying the library book.I’d meant the chore to be 51 !
Surprisingly,she was enjoying herself.I took a picture of her lovely back.So,was I winning or losing at 52 ?Did I teach her the 53 of keeping a library book if the picture I took shows she is working 54 ?
To my 55 ,my little girl knew what matters in her life.She could devote herself to the chores as much as books.

56.答案 to guide
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,句中已有谓语动词was created,故此处需用非谓语动词。分析句意,此处需用不定式表目的。故填to guide。
57.答案 ninth
解析 考查序数词。空前有定冠词the修饰,可知需用序数词,表示第九个。故填ninth。
58.答案 are
解析 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。分析句意可知,此句描述客观事实,所以需用一般现在时,又因逻辑主语Regions是复数,故填are。
59.答案 occurring
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,本句已有谓语动词refer to,故此处需填非谓语动词;occur和其逻辑主语Plum Rains之间为主动关系,应用现在分词形式。故填occurring。
60.答案 which
解析 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,关系词指代前面主句的内容,并在从句中作主语。故填which。
61.答案 However
解析 考查副词。根据句意可知,空处前后句意为转折关系,且位于句首,后面有逗号,应用however,首字母大写。故填However。
62.答案 heroes
解析 考查名词复数。hero意为“英雄”,为可数名词,此处需要用复数形式泛指“多个英雄”,放在介词后面充当宾语。故填heroes。
63.答案 has been practiced
解析 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。由时间状语“since the early Ming Dynasty(1368-1644)”可知,此处需用现在完成时;定语从句中的that指代先行词activity,是单数名词,与practice之间构成被动关系。故填has been practiced。
64.答案 as
解析 考查介词。此处是固定短语:be used as“被用作……”。故填as。
65.答案 safety
解析 考查名词。分析句子可知,名词所有格 people’s 后面需跟名词构成所属关系,safe的名词形式为safety,不可数。故填safety。

How to Become Self-confident
I used to lack self-confidence.I often believed that I couldn’t do anything well.I even didn’t dare to answer questions in class.
Then I read an article about how to become self-confident.I had never thought two pages of words could make such a difference.I realized that everyone had weaknesses,and I had to accept what I was not good at.After that,instead of keeping silent,I started to answer questions in class.I even took an extra-curricular course to practice giving speeches in public.Besides,I joined two school clubs and made several friends there.Later,I found myself more and more confident.
Now,by having self-confidence,I feel happier and more positive in life.
第二节(满分25分)
(2023·南通海门区高三期末)
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。
My best friend Carla Hernandez called me on Thursday afternoon.She asked me to meet her in the park near the playground five minutes later.She said she had a great idea! This worried me because Carla’s great ideas almost always meant big trouble for me!
I rushed outside and jogged to the park.When I saw Carla,my heart sank because her huge dog Perro was with her.I liked everything about Carla except Perro.I’d never had a pet,so I felt uncomfortable and nervous around animals.I was embarrassed to say that I was afraid of Carla’s dog.Carla smiled.“Isn’t this the perfect location for a pet show?” she asked.“All the kids in the neighborhood can show off their pets’ talents and demonstrate the things they do well.There are plenty of comfortable benches(长椅) for our parents and friends to sit on.And since you don’t have a pet to enter into the show,you will be the announcer.”
“I’m sorry,” I apologized,“but that’s impossible! Crowds make me nervous and unsure.Besides,I didn’t like animals,remember?” “That’s nonsense,” said Carla.“There’s nothing to be concerned about because you’ll be great!” Carla encouraged me to be brave and confident.But just then,Perro leaped up,slobbered all over(毫不掩饰地表示喜爱) me,and almost knocked me down.“Down,Perro! Stay!” I shouted.Perro sat as still as a statue.“Wow,you’re good at that,” said Carla.She thought I was talented at giving orders to pets,and asked me to get started with her immediately because we would have a lot to do.
By Saturday morning I had practiced announcing each pet’s act a hundred times.I felt my heart pounding by the time the audience arrived.The size of the crowd made me feel even more anxious.When the show began,I announced the first pet,nervously.It was a bird named Butter whose talent was walking back and forth on a wire.When Butter finished,everyone clapped and cheered.So far,everything was perfect.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
I was beginning to feel calmer and more relaxed.
This was a disaster,and I had to do something.
参考范文
I was beginning to feel calmer and more relaxed.I realized that being an announcer wasn’t so bad after all.Then it was Carla and Perro’s turn.Carla asked Perro to sit,but Perro didn’t sit.Carla was at a loss what to do next.Perro was too interested in watching so many pet friends at the show.Suddenly,Perro broke free from the rope,leaped swiftly and knocked over the bird Butter’s cage.It seemed that Perro was out of control and it began running around in circles.
This was a disaster,and I had to do something.“Sit!” I shouted at Perro.“Stay!” I cried.All of a sudden,everyone stopped and stared at me.Hearing my instructions,Perro sat immediately and looked at me,wagging its tail.“Wow,that is quite an achievement!” Carla smiled at me and gave me a thumbs-up.Then the audience applauded.It was amazing to get the pets to settle down.Now I am not afraid of pet dogs,and with boldness,I can speak in front of a crowd confidently.
