Unfortunately, the doctors found there was a tumor (肿瘤) in her head. Bogan was told that an operation (手术) could be a method, but it could have some side effects. Last August, doctors gave her an operation to remove the tumor. The operation was a success. But after the doctors removed the equipment, a bad thing happened — Bogan had trouble speaking. Since then, Bogan has been working with experts to change the situation, but there is no sign that she will ever be able to speak like she used to. Last month, Bogan got her voice back in a way. Experts created a tool — Voice Engine — for her using AI. She uses a text-to-voice app on her phone so she can now do things like ordering her favorite coffee at Starbucks. She uses it by writing words in her phone and holding it up at the coffee shop so servers can hear her. The app uses OpenAI’s voice tool. Programmers trained the app using a 15-second sound recording from a cooking video Bogan made as a teenager. Most of the video had cooking sounds, but that was all they could use. And it was enough. The app makes mistakes, but people who know Bogan do not seem worried. They are just happy to hear her voice. As for Bogan herself, she said it helped make her as confident as she was before all this happened, which meant a lot to her. She uses the app about 40 times per day, and she believes the technology will progress over time so that when she is older, she does not have to depend on the voice she had as a teenager. Jeff Harris is OpenAI’s project leader for Voice Engine. He said although the company is very limited in who they are giving the technology to, because they want to be sure everyone whose voice is being used has given permission (许可), this is only a short-term measure. In the near future, it will see more and more users. 4 What caused Bogan the trouble in speaking? A. Overusing her voice. B. Failure to remove the tumor. C. The doctors’ carelessness. D. Side effects of an operation. 5. How did Bogan partly get her voice back? A. By receiving another operation. B. By using a special AI tool. C. By working with experts. D. By keeping practicing speaking continuously. 6. What is the most important about the app to Bogan? A. It makes few mistakes. B. It improves her confidence. C. It exactly copies her voice. D. It can be used unlimited times per day. 7. What is Jeff Harris’s attitude towards the future of Voice Engine? A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Mixed. D. Uncaring. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述Bogan因脑部手术而丧失说话能力，在OpenAI公司一款声音软件的帮助下她在某种意义上恢复了声音。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The operation was a success. But after the doctors removed the equipment, a bad thing happened — Bogan had trouble speaking. (手术很成功。但在医生移走设备后，不好的事情发生了——博根说话有困难)”可知，手术的副作用导致Bogan失声。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Last month, Bogan got her voice back in a way. Experts created a tool — Voice Engine — for her using AI. (上个月，博根在某种程度上恢复了她的声音。专家们用人工智能为她创造了一个工具——语音人工智能)”可知，专家们利用人工智能为她制作了一个工具使Bogan在某种程度上恢复了她的声音。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“As for Bogan herself, she said it helped make her as confident as she was before all this happened, which meant a lot to her. (至于博根自己，她说这让她像发生这一切之前一样自信，这对她来说意义重大)”可知，Bogan认为这款软件让她的信心恢复到了这一切发生之前的水平。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He said although the company is very limited in who they are giving the technology to, because they want to be sure everyone whose voice is being used has given permission, this is only a short-term measure. In the near future, it will see more and more users. (他说，尽管该公司在向谁提供这项技术方面非常有限，因为他们想确保每个人的声音都得到了允许，但这只是一个短期措施。在不久的将来，它将看到越来越多的用户)”可知，在Jeff Harris看来，Voice Engine的未来充满希望。故选A。 C Deep in the Mexican forest at the Yucatán Peninsula, archaeologists have made an exciting discovery — a hidden historical treasure. In the ancient Maya city of Cobá, a huge stone slab (石碑) was found. The stone slab was discovered at the bottom of a pool in the past. It is really large, with an area of 11 square meters (118 square feet). What makes this slab different from others of its kind is the writing on it. There are 123 glyphs (象形文字) made into its surface. They are made in the shape of “L” to fit the shape of the stone. After examination, these glyphs describe that a town called Keh Witz Nal was built on 12 May 569 AD. What’ s more, they also mention a formerly unknown Maya ruler named K’awiil Ch’ak Chéen. This name has something to do with K’awiil, the Maya god of lightning. The city of Cobá, which is now in the state of Quintana Roo, was once successful but is now in ruins. The Maya had started building it as early as 50 BC and people lived there continuously. The most recent buildings of it were built between 1200 AD and 1500 AD. At its best time, it was a busy cultural center with around 50,000 people living there. Cobá is one of the few archaeological sites that still have a Maya name, Ko’ba, which means uncalm waters. The place is full of woodcuts and sculptures (雕塑). These things can tell us a lot about the spiritual and artistic lives of the Maya who used to live there. Before this discovery, 14 rulers of Cobá had been known, and three of them were women. One of the women ruled for 40 years. Thanks to the new information in the highly stylized writing, the researchers could make sure that many of these rulers took the name of the god K’ awiil. There will be a more detailed study of the writing in the future. But right now, the archaeological team is mainly concentrating on how to stop the stone from getting damaged more by water or others. 8. What about the stone slab makes it special? A. The words on it. B. The size of it. C. The place where it was discovered. D. The shape in which it was made. 9. What does the writing on the stone slab show? A. The names of Maya gods. B. The building date of a town. C. The development of glyphs. D. The daily life of the Maya people. 10. What does the text say about the city of Cobá? A. It was famous for its large collection of sculptures. B. Its population stayed unchanged for some time. C. It had a history of more than 12 centuries. D. Its rulers shared the name of K’awiil. 11. What is the focus of the archaeological team at the moment? A. Searching for more similar slabs. B. Finding more information about Cobá. C. Protecting the stone slab from further damage. D. Translating the writing on the slab into other languages. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在墨西哥尤卡坦半岛的森林深处，考古学家发现了隐藏在Maya古城Cobá的巨大石碑，上面刻有重要象形文字，揭示了关于Cobá城及Maya文明的新信息，目前考古团队正致力于保护石碑免受进一步损害。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“What makes this slab different from others of its kind is the writing on it. (这块石碑与其他同类石碑的不同之处在于其上的文字。)”可知，这块石碑的特别之处在于上面的文字。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“After examination, these glyphs describe that a town called Keh Witz Nal was built on 12 May 569 AD. (过研究，这些象形文字描述了一个名为Keh Witz Nal的城镇，它建于公元569年5月12日。)”可知，石碑上的文字显示了一个城镇的建立日期。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“The Maya had started building it as early as 50 BC and people lived there continuously. (Maya人早在公元前50年就开始建造这座城市，人们在那里连续居住。)”可知，Cobá城有12个多世纪的历史。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“But right now, the archaeological team is mainly concentrating on how to stop the stone from getting damaged more by water or others. (但目前，考古团队主要集中研究如何防止石碑进一步受到水或其他因素的损坏。)”可知，考古队目前的重点是保护石碑免受进一步损坏。故选C。 D Fish farming is a form of aquaculture (水产养殖), in which fish are raised in pools to be sold as food. They take up over half of the world’s fish supply and are key for meeting the needs of an ever-growing human population. However, fish farms now face a big challenge. The uneaten food and waste made by the thousands of sea animals limited to small spaces often build up to harmful levels. Every year, a large number of fish die because of sicknesses. Besides, the phosphorous and nitrogen that come out from the waste can cause algae (藻类) to grow a lot. These algae take up the O2 in the water. This makes it hard for the fish to breathe and they can die. Right now, fish farms fix these problems by using recirculating (再循环) systems. These systems clean the water and deal with the waste. But it costs a lot to put them in and they are hard to keep in good working order. Now, some fish farms are turning to sea cucumbers (海参) for help. The bottom-animals are often called the ocean’s “cleaners”. They feed on very tiny animals, algae, and the waste on the seabed. Even better, the sand they take in will come out again in the form of CaCO3, which helps support the growth of coral reefs (珊瑚礁). Sea cucumbers are considered a delicious food in some parts of the world. Once their numbers grow, they could also bring an extra income source for fish farms. Adding sea cucumbers to fish farms is part of a bigger plan to make them into balanced and good-for-long-time ecosystems (生态系统). Experts believe it can be achieved if we grow many different kinds of ocean animals from different parts of the food chain. “We’re trying to mimic natural environments,” says ocean researcher Chris Pearce. “So in such environments, the ocean animals are just doing what they do naturally out in the wild. But when we put them together with other kinds of animals, they are helping the ecosystem.” 12. What is the main problem that fish farms face? A. Unexplained death of fish. B. High cost of fish food. C. Waste management. D. Strong competition. 13. Why are sea cucumbers introduced by some fish farms? A. They take in CaCO3. B. They do good to the algae. C. They serve as food for fish. D. They deal with waste on the seabed. 14. What does the underlined word “mimic” in the last paragraph mean? A. Copy. B. Explore. C. Protect. D. Clean. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Balanced Ecosystems Are Out of Reach B. Recirculating Systems Bring New Hope for Fish Farms C. The World’s Fish Supply Is Facing Greater Challenges D. Sea Cucumbers Help with Fish Farms’ Waste Treatment 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了科学家使用海参解决水产养殖中的废物带来的困扰。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句“However, fish farms now face a big challenge. (然而，如今的养鱼场面临着一个巨大的挑战。)”以及第二段的“The uneaten food and waste made by the thousands of sea animals limited to small spaces often build up to harmful levels. (数千只被限制在狭小空间内的海洋动物所产生的未进食的食物和废物常常堆积到有害的程度。)”可推知，目前水产养殖面临的问题是废物处理问题。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“They feed on very tiny animals, algae, and the waste on the seabed. (它们以非常细小的动物、藻类以及海底的废物为食。)”可知，海参以微小动物、藻类和海底的废物为食，所以一些水产养殖场引进海参来应对废物问题。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文的“So in such environments, the ocean animals are just doing what they do naturally out in the wild. (因此，在这样的环境中，海洋动物只是在做它们在野外自然会做的事情。)”可知，在这样的环境中，海洋动物们所做的事情和它们在野外环境中所做的事情相同。由此推知，海洋动物专家们想要做的是“模拟”自然环境。mimic与copy意思相近，意为“模拟”。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Now, some fish farms are turning to sea cucumbers (海参) for help. The bottom-animals are often called the ocean’s “cleaners”. (现在，一些养鱼场开始求助于海参。这种底栖动物常常被称为海洋的“清洁工”。)”及全文可知，本文主要介绍水产养殖场所面临的废物处理问题，以及目前一些水产养殖场采取的措施——引进海参。D项“海参帮助应对水产养殖场的废物处理问题”能够概括文章内容，适合作文章标题。故选D项 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Modern travel is quickly growing and the industry is trying to keep up. Yet the flight delays, an increase in terrible weather, and local concern about overtourism have caused headaches for travelers. ____16____ However, with good planning, there are ways for travelers to reduce the stress and enjoy the ride. ※Stay relaxed before the trip. ____17____ It just results in them getting especially nervous and spending the first few days of their trip dealing with this. Travelers can deal with stress much more wisely before their trip. They can create a list of tasks to decide what really should be done before they leave on vacation. If they weren’t going to do something on the to-do list even if they stayed at home — it can probably wait until after the trip. ※Pack light, pack smart. To pack a carry-on bag or to check your luggage (行李)? A carry-on gives you more flexibility to change planes and still arrive with your luggage. ____18____ If you can’t get everything you need into a carry-on, pack the things into a backpack or small bag to keep with you in case your luggage ends up in a different place. ※____19____ Just like kids take their favorite toy animals when they travel, grown-ups can bring things that make them feel better to deal with the stress of traveling. For example, they can bring snacks, a water bottle, and a neck pillow. And if possible, make use of airport lounges (休息室). Spending time in a quiet room that has showers, food and private areas can really relax you, especially after a long flight or when waiting for a long time. ※Choose less-crowded (不拥挤的) places. Everyone wants to experience their dream vacation without the crowds. One way is to travel during a place’s off season. However, clever travelers have already picked up on this trip planning method. Now, travelers are looking for places that are equally nice — like choosing one place instead of another. ____20____ A. Make your journey more comfortable. B. Practice “calm” techniques for stressful moments. C. Plan your daily clothes to avoid the idea to pack extras. D. They make getting the sense of pleasure and wonder of travel difficult. E. You should always pay attention and be ready to act, particularly when flying. F. Some worry about the details and possible problems too much before leaving. G. And it’s also smart to travel during the school year to avoid summer vacationers. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. C 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章提供了一些帮助你在旅行时减轻焦虑，避免紧张的建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Modern travel is quickly growing and the industry is trying to keep up. Yet the flight delays, an increase in terrible weather, and local concern about overtourism have caused headaches for travelers. (现代旅游业发展迅速，旅游业也在努力跟上。然而，航班延误、恶劣天气的增加，以及当地对过度旅游的担忧，都让游客感到头疼)”可知，前文提到航班延误、恶劣天气和当地对过度旅游的担忧给旅行者带来困扰，D选项“它们使得获得旅行的快乐和惊奇感变得困难”承接上文，符合语境，They指代上文提到的几种情况。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据后文“It just results in them getting especially nervous and spending the first few days of their trip dealing with this. (这只会让他们变得特别紧张，在旅行的头几天里都在处理这个问题)”可知，后句说这会导致他们特别紧张并在旅行开始的几天处理这个问题，F选项“一些人在出发前过于担心细节和可能出现的问题”可引出后文，解释原因。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“A carry-on gives you more flexibility to change planes and still arrive with your luggage. (随身携带给你更大的灵活性，让你在换乘飞机的同时还能随身携带行李)”可知，前句说随身携带行李能让转机更灵活且行李能随人到，C选项“计划好日常衣物以避免多带不必要的东西”进一步说明如何合理打包行李，与前文逻辑连贯。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据本段内容“Just like kids take their favorite toy animals when they travel, grown-ups can bring things that make them feel better to deal with the stress of traveling. For example, they can bring snacks, a water bottle, and a neck pillow. And if possible, make use of airport lounges. Spending time in a quiet room that has showers, food and private areas can really relax you, especially after a long flight or when waiting for a long time. (就像孩子们在旅行时带着他们最喜欢的玩具动物一样，成年人可以带一些让他们感觉更好的东西来应对旅行的压力。例如，他们可以带零食、水瓶和颈枕。如果可能的话，利用机场休息室。花时间在一个安静的房间里，有淋浴，食物和私人区域可以真正使你放松，尤其是在长途飞行或等待很长时间之后)”可知，该段主要讲述成年人携带让自己舒适的物品以及利用机场休息室来提升旅行舒适度，A选项“让你的旅程更舒适”概括了本段的主旨。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Everyone wants to experience their dream vacation without the crowds. One way is to travel during a place’s off season. However, clever travelers have already picked up on this trip planning method. Now, travelers are looking for places that are equally nice — like choosing one place instead of another. (每个人都想在没有人群的情况下体验他们的梦想假期。一种方法是在一个地方的淡季旅行。然而，聪明的旅行者已经学会了这种旅行计划方法。现在，旅行者正在寻找同样不错的地方——就像选择一个地方而不是另一个地方)”可知，前文提到选择游客少的地方旅游，G选项“在学年期间旅行以避开暑假游客也是明智之举”进一步补充说明选择合适时间旅游以避开人群的方法，符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In August, while out on Lake Waxahachie, Texas, Bell was enjoying a boat ride with his friends when he noticed a teenage girl ____21____ to stay above water in the open water.

Everything I’d seen required repairs, was a different color, or went above our 87,000 budget (预算). My drive to work was almost an hour each day and I often stayed late. Marcus’s dad, Robert, suffered from a serious illness and hardly drove. Marcus needed to attend daily football practice, weekly team meetings and dinners, as well as other after-school activities, forcing him to take rides with friends. One evening, Marcus arrived home in a teammate’s new black car. When the teammate DaVaris rolled down the window to say hello, that new-car smell got into the air. I bent inside to look at the brown, soft leather seats. “Very nice,” I said. His face brightened with pride. “Thanks. Marcus said you were looking for a car.” “I’m sure we’ll find something soon,” I spoke with confidence I didn’t feel. It wouldn’t be a new car, for sure. I turned to Marcus. An eager look crossed his face as DaVaris waved and backed out of the driveway. That look hurt my heart. The next day, I ran into the mother of one of Marcus’s classmates — a doctor. The family had also been trying to find a car for their son. “One of my patients wants to sell his car, but my son doesn’t like it,” she told me. I asked what type of car, and it turned out to be at the top of my wish list. “Can you arrange for me to see it?” The next day, Robert and I went to the home of the elderly man who was selling the car. It was shiny black, with hardly a scratch (划痕). It only covered 12,000 miles although it was six years old! Having experienced so many failures before, I was almost afraid to test-drive it. But the engine made a normal sound and the speeding was smooth. This car had been well maintained (保养). There remained one question, a big one — the price. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Back at the owner’s house, we climbed out of the car. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was the exact amount (金额) we’d saved! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Back at the owner’s house, we climbed out of the car. “How much are you asking?” I steeled myself for the man’s answer. He studied his car as if unwilling to part with it. He explained he was already ninety-three and that his family wanted him to quit driving for the sake of safety. He placed a hand on the car to steady himself. His stare met mine. “This car is worth more than what I’m asking. But I’ll let you have it for $7,000.” It was the exact amount (金额) we’d saved! A block formed in my throat as I extended my hand. “Deal.” I went to the bank and withdrew the money to pay him. Robert drove our car home. Less than an hour before Marcus returned home, I hid the car in the garage. When he arrived, I opened the garage door. Sunlight reflected from the black car. Just as I brought the camera to my eye, Marcus turned to me with a wide smile and a double thumbs-up. Click! I caught that moment of joy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一直在给儿子马库斯寻找一辆车子，但是预算一直不够，经过儿子朋友的母亲介绍，作者联系上了一位正在卖车的老人。他们去了老人家里，买下了这辆车，儿子看到车子后十分高兴。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“回到房主家，我们从车里爬了出来”可知，第一段可描写作者买下车的经过和与老人的对话。 ②由第二段首句内容“这正是我们省下的钱！”可知，第二段可描写作者买下车送给儿子的经过。 2.续写线索：问价——解释原因——成交——付钱——开回家——送给儿子——儿子高兴 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放置：place/put ②解释：explain/illustrate ③停止：quit/stop 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/happiness ②不愿意：unwilling/ reluctant 点睛】[高分句型1] He explained he was already ninety-three and that his family wanted him to quit driving for the sake of safety.

B Being a singer in her school music group as a teenager, Bogan used to love singing along with songs by her favorite musicians. Unfortunately, the doctors found there was a tumor (肿瘤) in her head. Bogan was told that an operation (手术) could be a method, but it could have some side effects. Last August, doctors gave her an operation to remove the tumor. The operation was a success. But after the doctors removed the equipment, a bad thing happened — Bogan had trouble speaking. Since then, Bogan has been working with experts to change the situation, but there is no sign that she will ever be able to speak like she used to. Last month, Bogan got her voice back in a way. Experts created a tool — Voice Engine — for her using AI. She uses a text-to-voice app on her phone so she can now do things like ordering her favorite coffee at Starbucks. She uses it by writing words in her phone and holding it up at the coffee shop so servers can hear her. The app uses OpenAI’s voice tool. Programmers trained the app using a 15-second sound recording from a cooking video Bogan made as a teenager. Most of the video had cooking sounds, but that was all they could use. And it was enough. The app makes mistakes, but people who know Bogan do not seem worried. They are just happy to hear her voice. As for Bogan herself, she said it helped make her as confident as she was before all this happened, which meant a lot to her. She uses the app about 40 times per day, and she believes the technology will progress over time so that when she is older, she does not have to depend on the voice she had as a teenager. Jeff Harris is OpenAI’s project leader for Voice Engine. He said although the company is very limited in who they are giving the technology to, because they want to be sure everyone whose voice is being used has given permission (许可), this is only a short-term measure. In the near future, it will see more and more users. 4. What caused Bogan the trouble in speaking? A. Overusing her voice. B. Failure to remove the tumor. C. The doctors’ carelessness. D. Side effects of an operation. 5. How did Bogan partly get her voice back? A. By receiving another operation. B. By using a special AI tool. C. By working with experts. D. By keeping practicing speaking continuously. 6. What is the most important about the app to Bogan? A. It makes few mistakes. B. It improves her confidence. C. It exactly copies her voice. D. It can be used unlimited times per day. 7. What is Jeff Harris’s attitude towards the future of Voice Engine? A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Mixed. D. Uncaring. C Deep in the Mexican forest at the Yucatán Peninsula, archaeologists have made an exciting discovery — a hidden historical treasure. In the ancient Maya city of Cobá, a huge stone slab (石碑) was found. The stone slab was discovered at the bottom of a pool in the past. It is really large, with an area of 11 square meters (118 square feet). What makes this slab different from others of its kind is the writing on it. There are 123 glyphs (象形文字) made into its surface. They are made in the shape of “L” to fit the shape of the stone. After examination, these glyphs describe that a town called Keh Witz Nal was built on 12 May 569 AD. What’ s more, they also mention a formerly unknown Maya ruler named K’awiil Ch’ak Chéen. This name has something to do with K’awiil, the Maya god of lightning. The city of Cobá, which is now in the state of Quintana Roo, was once successful but is now in ruins. The Maya had started building it as early as 50 BC and people lived there continuously. The most recent buildings of it were built between 1200 AD and 1500 AD. At its best time, it was a busy cultural center with around 50,000 people living there. Cobá is one of the few archaeological sites that still have a Maya name, Ko’ba, which means uncalm waters. The place is full of woodcuts and sculptures (雕塑). These things can tell us a lot about the spiritual and artistic lives of the Maya who used to live there. Before this discovery, 14 rulers of Cobá had been known, and three of them were women. One of the women ruled for 40 years. Thanks to the new information in the highly stylized writing, the researchers could make sure that many of these rulers took the name of the god K’ awiil. There will be a more detailed study of the writing in the future. But right now, the archaeological team is mainly concentrating on how to stop the stone from getting damaged more by water or others. 8. What about the stone slab makes it special? A. The words on it. B. The size of it. C. The place where it was discovered. D. The shape in which it was made. 9. What does the writing on the stone slab show? A. The names of Maya gods. B. The building date of a town. C. The development of glyphs. D. The daily life of the Maya people. 10. What does the text say about the city of Cobá? A. It was famous for its large collection of sculptures. B. Its population stayed unchanged for some time. C. It had a history of more than 12 centuries. D Its rulers shared the name of K’awiil. 11. What is the focus of the archaeological team at the moment? A. Searching for more similar slabs. B. Finding more information about Cobá. C. Protecting the stone slab from further damage. D. Translating the writing on the slab into other languages. D Fish farming is a form of aquaculture (水产养殖), in which fish are raised in pools to be sold as food. They take up over half of the world’s fish supply and are key for meeting the needs of an ever-growing human population. However, fish farms now face a big challenge. The uneaten food and waste made by the thousands of sea animals limited to small spaces often build up to harmful levels. Every year, a large number of fish die because of sicknesses. Besides, the phosphorous and nitrogen that come out from the waste can cause algae (藻类) to grow a lot. These algae take up the O2 in the water. This makes it hard for the fish to breathe and they can die. Right now, fish farms fix these problems by using recirculating (再循环) systems. These systems clean the water and deal with the waste. But it costs a lot to put them in and they are hard to keep in good working order. Now, some fish farms are turning to sea cucumbers (海参) for help. The bottom-animals are often called the ocean’s “cleaners”. They feed on very tiny animals, algae, and the waste on the seabed. Even better, the sand they take in will come out again in the form of CaCO3, which helps support the growth of coral reefs (珊瑚礁). Sea cucumbers are considered a delicious food in some parts of the world. Once their numbers grow, they could also bring an extra income source for fish farms. Adding sea cucumbers to fish farms is part of a bigger plan to make them into balanced and good-for-long-time ecosystems (生态系统). Experts believe it can be achieved if we grow many different kinds of ocean animals from different parts of the food chain. “We’re trying to mimic natural environments,” says ocean researcher Chris Pearce. “So in such environments, the ocean animals are just doing what they do naturally out in the wild. But when we put them together with other kinds of animals, they are helping the ecosystem.” 12. What is the main problem that fish farms face? A. Unexplained death of fish. B. High cost of fish food. C. Waste management. D. Strong competition. 13. Why are sea cucumbers introduced by some fish farms? A. They take in CaCO3. B. They do good to the algae. C. They serve as food for fish. D. They deal with waste on the seabed. 14. What does the underlined word “mimic” in the last paragraph mean? A. Copy. B. Explore. C. Protect. D. Clean. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Balanced Ecosystems Are Out of Reach B. Recirculating Systems Bring New Hope for Fish Farms C. The World’s Fish Supply Is Facing Greater Challenges D. Sea Cucumbers Help with Fish Farms’ Waste Treatment 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Modern travel is quickly growing and the industry is trying to keep up. Yet the flight delays, an increase in terrible weather, and local concern about overtourism have caused headaches for travelers. ____16____ However, with good planning, there are ways for travelers to reduce the stress and enjoy the ride. ※Stay relaxed before the trip. ____17____ It just results in them getting especially nervous and spending the first few days of their trip dealing with this. Travelers can deal with stress much more wisely before their trip. They can create a list of tasks to decide what really should be done before they leave on vacation. If they weren’t going to do something on the to-do list even if they stayed at home — it can probably wait until after the trip. ※Pack light, pack smart. To pack a carry-on bag or to check your luggage (行李)? A carry-on gives you more flexibility to change planes and still arrive with your luggage. ____18____ If you can’t get everything you need into a carry-on, pack the things into a backpack or small bag to keep with you in case your luggage ends up in a different place. ※____19____ Just like kids take their favorite toy animals when they travel, grown-ups can bring things that make them feel better to deal with the stress of traveling. For example, they can bring snacks, a water bottle, and a neck pillow. And if possible, make use of airport lounges (休息室). Spending time in a quiet room that has showers, food and private areas can really relax you, especially after a long flight or when waiting for a long time. ※Choose less-crowded (不拥挤的) places. Everyone wants to experience their dream vacation without the crowds. One way is to travel during a place’s off season. However, clever travelers have already picked up on this trip planning method. Now, travelers are looking for places that are equally nice — like choosing one place instead of another. ____20____ A. Make your journey more comfortable. B. Practice “calm” techniques for stressful moments. C. Plan your daily clothes to avoid the idea to pack extras. D. They make getting the sense of pleasure and wonder of travel difficult. E. You should always pay attention and be ready to act, particularly when flying. F. Some worry about the details and possible problems too much before leaving. G And it’s also smart to travel during the school year to avoid summer vacationers. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In August, while out on Lake Waxahachie, Texas, Bell was enjoying a boat ride with his friends when he noticed a teenage girl ____21____ to stay above water in the open water.

Everything I’d seen required repairs, was a different color, or went above our 87,000 budget (预算). My drive to work was almost an hour each day and I often stayed late. Marcus’s dad, Robert, suffered from a serious illness and hardly drove. Marcus needed to attend daily football practice, weekly team meetings and dinners, as well as other after-school activities, forcing him to take rides with friends. One evening, Marcus arrived home in a teammate’s new black car. When the teammate DaVaris rolled down the window to say hello, that new-car smell got into the air. I bent inside to look at the brown, soft leather seats. “Very nice,” I said. His face brightened with pride. “Thanks. Marcus said you were looking for a car.” “I’m sure we’ll find something soon,” I spoke with confidence I didn’t feel. It wouldn’t be a new car, for sure. I turned to Marcus. An eager look crossed his face as DaVaris waved and backed out of the driveway. That look hurt my heart. The next day, I ran into the mother of one of Marcus’s classmates — a doctor. The family had also been trying to find a car for their son. “One of my patients wants to sell his car, but my son doesn’t like it,” she told me. I asked what type of car, and it turned out to be at the top of my wish list. “Can you arrange for me to see it?” The next day, Robert and I went to the home of the elderly man who was selling the car. It was shiny black, with hardly a scratch (划痕). It only covered 12,000 miles although it was six years old! Having experienced so many failures before, I was almost afraid to test-drive it. But the engine made a normal sound and the speeding was smooth. This car had been well maintained (保养). There remained one question, a big one — the price. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Back at the owner’s house, we climbed out of the car. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was the exact amount (金额) we’d saved! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 BCCAB 6-10 CCBCA 11-15 ABCCA 16-20 ABBAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
