The Eiffel Tower welcomes more than 7 million visitors a year, Visitors will be divided into two groups; those heading to the top (by elevator) and those stopping after the second-floor climb. Our tickets to tour the tower’s two levels can be purchased online up to two months in advance, but they always sell out quickly. However, since many tour operators get advance access to tickets, you can often book even earlier, or possibly score a last-minute trip to the tower.
Everyone in the group can take the first part of the climb at their own pace, after which they will be given 15 minutes to catch their breath and explore the first floor of the Eiffel Tower at their 1leisure before gathering for a narrated (有讲解的) tour up. Tourists then proceed to the second floor for the narrated portion of the tour on the second floor. The tour concludes there, where tourists are free to ask questions or explore before leaving on their own.
The guide for the second-floor climb is energetic and excited to share his knowledge of the Eiffel Tower, and he has an album of historic photos to back up his commentary. The guide gives visitors enough free time to explore independently from the group.
Your tour ticket allows you to stay at the tower as long as you please, so plan to stick around after the tour ends to explore the shops, restaurants, and viewpoints on the first and second floors. There is an upgraded ticket option that allows you to take an elevator to the top level; this ticket will cost extra.
21. Which way can best ensure an Eiffel Tower visit?
A. Buy tickets 2 months earlier. B. Ask help from tour operators.
C. Book at the last minute. D. Wait for on-site tickets.
22. What can we know about the narrated tour on the Eiffel Tower?
A. It costs visitors extra money. B. It begins from the 2nd floor.
C. It relies on a historic album. D. It lasts 15 minutes at least.
23. What can visitors do on the second floor?
A. Take a free ride to the top floor. B. Catch a bird’s-eye view of Paris.
C. Enjoy a pleasant tower meal. D. Have a one-night hotel stay.

In her new children’s book No More Mimi. Meg Medina recalled her beloved babysitter Miuut. She was a wonderful babysitter but kind of a pain in the neck, as well-Medina says you could look at the things on her coffee table, but you definitely couldn’t touch them. “She felt this was a very important skill,” she says. “We used to stand at that table and she'd have us practice, like putting our hands behind our back, and you could lean (倾斜) forward and look at all the pretty things.”
When Medina was five years old, her grandmother came to take care of her. She started out super excited that her grandmother was coming. “I bet grandma will let me play whenever I want,” Medina told Mimi excitedly and she shared this news with her teacher until she realized that a new babysitter meant no more Mimi. Brittany Cicchese, the illustrator of the book, painted this moment with her soft style-Medina sat under the table and curled up with a blanket, whispering sadly to her dog, “No more Mimi.”
Luckily, Mimi went exactly nowhere. She became friends with Medina’s grandmother, and they’d often drink coffee together. “She loved us,” says Medina. Mimi stayed a part of her life forever. “I hold a space for her in my heart,” she says. “Mimi is not buried very far from my real grandmother in Flushing, Queens”. She wrote this children’s book in her honor.
So many people raise kids. There are our parents, of course, but also elder brothers and sisters, teachers, cousins, librarians, and neighbors. It’s easy to forget just how ma people have a role in helping raise us.
“It feels good to know that there’s this story for kids right now, but that there’s a piece of this story that’s also about remembering these wonderful women who helped raise us,” says Medina. “It feels like we’re paying them honor. You know, we’re just honoring their memory.”
24. What does the underlined part “a pain in the neck” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Annoying. B. Painful. C. Dangerous. D. Impatient.
25. What can we learn from Brittany Cicchese’s description?
A. Medina was deeply attached to Mimi.
B. Mimi finally finished her job and left.
C. Mimi regretted taking care of Medina.
D. Medina came down with a severe cold.
26. Which of the following best describes Mimi?
A. Grateful and lively. B. Humorous and shy.
C. Kind and curious. D. Strict and caring.
27. What is the purpose of the author in writing the book?
A. To share stories of a babysitter.
B. To obtain a name in her career.
C. To propose life advice for kids.
D. To appreciate others' kindness.
C
Over time, deaths from cold temperatures have increased in the United States. From 1999 to 2022, the country’s age-adjusted, cold-related death rate rose from about 4 per 1 million people to 9, as a research has found. These are deaths for which exposure to the cold was the main cause or was a contributor. Among different age groups, the oldest had the highest cold-related death rate. Older people are more intolerant to the cold in part because it’s harder for their bodies to generate heat and stay warm.
There was also a higher burden of cold-related deaths in some racial and ethnic groups in 2022. Among American Indian or Alaska Native people, the death rate was 63 per 1 million people. For Black people, the rate was 15 per l million.
Risks from structural factors like a lack of heat are experienced by racial and ethnic minority groups. For example, 2 percent of U.S. households, on average, have insufficient heat, but that rises to 12 percent for American Indian and Alaska Native people in tribal (部落的) areas, who generally belong to low-income groups, according to a report. And research has found that Black people are more likely to live in older homes with inefficient heating systems.
Exposure to overmuch cold can lead to hypothermia (体温过低), when a person’s core temperature falls below 35 degrees Celsius because the body can’t produce heat quickly enough to make up for its loss. During hypothermia, which is a medical emergency, the cardiovascular (心血管的) systems can’t function properly.
The research was not designed to determine why the cold-related death rate has risen. The authors propose some factors to investigate, including whether there are ties to the increasing number of people experiencing homelessness in the United s in the United States — a major risk factor for exposure to dangerous cold — or to more frequent episodes of severe winter weather.
28. What are those figures in paragraph 1 introduced for?
A Making comparison. B. Sounding a warning.
C. Introducing a topic. D. Evidencing a point.
29. What may cause higher cold-related death rates of racial and ethnic minority groups?
A. Their physical qualities. B. Their financial conditions.
C. The worse temperatures. D. The regional differences.
30. What is Paragraph 4 of the text mainly about?
A. How the worse cold does harm to bodies.
B. Why the cold-related death rate has risen.
C. How a medical emergency can be avoided.
D. Why the body systems function improperly.
31. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A news brief. B. A book review.
C. A healthcare magazine. D. A climate research paper.
D
A biological study from Stanford University finds the diversity of life in the world’s oceans has declined over the past 145 million years during periods of extreme warming Rising temperatures that make it hard for cold-blooded sea creatures to breathe have likely been among the biggest drivers for changes in ocean biodiversity.
“What’s important about our study is not that it shows we are having a loss of diversity when ocean temperatures rise but that pattern is maintained over millions of years,” said Thomas Boag, who co-authored a study.
The team found proof for that pattern in rock records for ocean animals going back to the time when the first flowering plants appeared and the Rocky Mountains began to rise. They used earth chemical data as an indicator for past temperatures. They found that in colder periods, diversity reaches its maximum at low latitudes (纬度), but in hotter periods, its maximum is at higher latitudes. This pattern has been kept over millions of years.
Armed with this finding, the team developed a digital model of the relationship between ocean temperature and biodiversity of ocean animals. The results suggest ocean biodiversity increases steadily with sea surface temperature up to about 20-25℃. Up beyond that range, biodiversity drops off due to the limits of oxygen content. As temperatures rise, water’s oxygen content falls, while animals’ need for oxygen grows. Imagine a mountain climber who might need extra oxygen to reach the top. Climbers have the option to carry an oxygen tank, but ocean animals, particularly cold-blooded species that rely on the external environment to manage their body temperature, are pushed to move and even likely face extinction.
The findings paint an upsetting future for ocean ecosystems at low latitudes and many coastal communities who rely on them for food in the absence of action to dramatically slow global warming. If global warming is left unchecked in the coming centuries, it would kill off many species of ocean animals and move most survivors away from the warm waters.
32. What is the major finding of the study according to Thomas Boag?
A. Global temperatures change.
B. Ocean biodiversity declines.
C. A pattern exists in the ocean ecology.
D. A distribution of ocean lives remains.
33. How did the study team learn the global temperatures in history?
A. By developing a digital model.
B. By consulting earth chemical data.
C. By researching ocean rock records.
D. By conducting logical assumptions.
34. What is the last paragraph intended to do?
A. Present a warning. B. Express a feeling.
C. Offer a solution. D. Stress a finding.
35. What can be a suitable title of the text?
A. Biodiversity and temperature changes
B. Lower temperatures, richer ocean lives
C. Lower latitudes, worse biodiversity risk
D Global warming and ocean life diversity

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
Grga Brkie never expected that a mountain-climbing trip would put him in such a desperate situation. That Sunday, while climbing the highest peak of the Velebit mountain range, which was about 5,800 feet above coastline, he accidentally slipped and fell nearly 500 feet down a snowy slope (斜坡). The fall caused his leg to be severely broken and he couldn’t move at all. He was filled with fear, knowing clearly that if no one came to rescue him, he might die of the freezing temperature in this snowy place.
Fortunately, two nearby hikers spotted Brke and his eight-month-old Alaskan malamute (阿拉斯加犬), North, at the bottom of the slope. However, they couldn’t reach them safely. After a brief discussion, they knew they had no choice but to rush off in search of professional rescuers. Before they left, they dropped some necessary supplies to the bottom of the slope so that Brkic could keep his strength and energy. In spite of that, Brkic couldn’t help being shivering (颤抖) in the snow with the temperature getting lower and lower.
At this critical moment, North, sensing its master’s great danger, immediately sprang into action. It circled around Brkic a few times, as if assessing the best way to help. Then, with a gentle yet determined motion, it slowly and carefully laid itself over Brkie’s body, making sure to cover as much of him as possible. As an Alaskan malamute, North are naturally resistant to cold, whose waterproof double coats can keep it warm even in temperatures as low as -20°F. Now it was like a warm little sun, tightly guarding Brkie. North remained perfectly still, and was alert to any signs of approaching help or potential danger, as if it had taken on the great responsibility of being Brkie’s guardian and protecting his master from any possible danger.
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。
Before Brkic lost consciousness (意识), he heard North barking loudly.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the rescuers managed to save and rush Brkie to the hospital with North.

【答案】11. C 12. A 13. A
【解析】
【原文】W: Look. The ground is covered by leaves. Shall we gather them?
M: Well we’d better leave leaves on the ground. They will naturally break down over the winter into rich organic matter. The matter also shelters many insects.
W: Amazing! It’s good for plants, environment and saving money.
M: But it’s important to consider the types of leaves and where they’re landing.
W: Really? Can you explain more?
M: Whole leaves should not be permitted to remain on walkways where they could make the path dangerously slippery.
W: Right. Anything more?
M: They should also not be left on grass lawns. Although some grasses can handle a small amount of leaf waste, too much can threaten their health. Whole leaves that cover grasses block water and sunlight from reaching the soil below.
W: I see.
M: Some leaves prevent the growth of other plants. Black Walnut, for example, contains a poison in its leaves that kills many plants, including apples, tomatoes, and potatoes.
W: Thanks. I’ll clean the whole leaves on the yard path before grandma goes out for shopping.

【答案】18. A 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【原文】M: A report from a European climate service shows that November was very warm. It was the second warmest November they have on record. This makes it likely that 2024 will be said to be the hottest year they've measured. Last year was the hottest before. But after this summer, scientists thought 2024 would be even hotter. After this October, the world's average temperature was 14.10 degrees. Up to December this year, it's 0.14 degrees higher than the same time last year. A climate expert said November was much hotter than past Novembers. He also added that it was bad for people and nature. Animals might die and food chains might change. Coastal places might have trouble because of rising seas. Some scientists said ocean heat and less sea ice made the temperature go up. The amount of Antarctic Sea ice in November was low. Oceans take in a lot of heat from gases and give it back. Last year was hot because of a Pacific warming. But this year, the usual cooling after it didn't happen. Scientists are confused about why it's still hot. One idea is that the warming makes more heat in the air.

The Eiffel Tower welcomes more than 7 million visitors a year, Visitors will be divided into two groups; those heading to the top (by elevator) and those stopping after the second-floor climb. Our tickets to tour the tower’s two levels can be purchased online up to two months in advance, but they always sell out quickly. However, since many tour operators get advance access to tickets, you can often book even earlier, or possibly score a last-minute trip to the tower.
Everyone in the group can take the first part of the climb at their own pace, after which they will be given 15 minutes to catch their breath and explore the first floor of the Eiffel Tower at their 1leisure before gathering for a narrated (有讲解的) tour up. Tourists then proceed to the second floor for the narrated portion of the tour on the second floor. The tour concludes there, where tourists are free to ask questions or explore before leaving on their own.
The guide for the second-floor climb is energetic and excited to share his knowledge of the Eiffel Tower, and he has an album of historic photos to back up his commentary. The guide gives visitors enough free time to explore independently from the group.
Your tour ticket allows you to stay at the tower as long as you please, so plan to stick around after the tour ends to explore the shops, restaurants, and viewpoints on the first and second floors. There is an upgraded ticket option that allows you to take an elevator to the top level; this ticket will cost extra.
21. Which way can best ensure an Eiffel Tower visit?
A. Buy tickets 2 months earlier. B. Ask help from tour operators.
C. Book at the last minute. D. Wait for on-site tickets.
22. What can we know about the narrated tour on the Eiffel Tower?
A. It costs visitors extra money. B. It begins from the 2nd floor.
C. It relies on a historic album. D. It lasts 15 minutes at least.
23. What can visitors do on the second floor?
A. Take a free ride to the top floor. B. Catch a bird’s-eye view of Paris.
C. Enjoy a pleasant tower meal. D. Have a one-night hotel stay.
【答案】21. B 22. B 23. C

In her new children’s book No More Mimi. Meg Medina recalled her beloved babysitter Miuut. She was a wonderful babysitter but kind of a pain in the neck, as well-Medina says you could look at the things on her coffee table, but you definitely couldn’t touch them. “She felt this was a very important skill,” she says. “We used to stand at that table and she'd have us practice, like putting our hands behind our back, and you could lean (倾斜) forward and look at all the pretty things.”
When Medina was five years old, her grandmother came to take care of her. She started out super excited that her grandmother was coming. “I bet grandma will let me play whenever I want,” Medina told Mimi excitedly and she shared this news with her teacher until she realized that a new babysitter meant no more Mimi. Brittany Cicchese, the illustrator of the book, painted this moment with her soft style-Medina sat under the table and curled up with a blanket, whispering sadly to her dog, “No more Mimi.”
Luckily, Mimi went exactly nowhere. She became friends with Medina’s grandmother, and they’d often drink coffee together. “She loved us,” says Medina. Mimi stayed a part of her life forever. “I hold a space for her in my heart,” she says. “Mimi is not buried very far from my real grandmother in Flushing, Queens”. She wrote this children’s book in her honor.
So many people raise kids. There are our parents, of course, but also elder brothers and sisters, teachers, cousins, librarians, and neighbors. It’s easy to forget just how ma people have a role in helping raise us.
“It feels good to know that there’s this story for kids right now, but that there’s a piece of this story that’s also about remembering these wonderful women who helped raise us,” says Medina. “It feels like we’re paying them honor. You know, we’re just honoring their memory.”
24. What does the underlined part “a pain in the neck” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Annoying. B. Painful. C. Dangerous. D. Impatient.
25. What can we learn from Brittany Cicchese’s description?
A. Medina was deeply attached to Mimi.
B. Mimi finally finished her job and left.
C. Mimi regretted taking care of Medina.
D. Medina came down with a severe cold.
26. Which of the following best describes Mimi?
A. Grateful and lively. B. Humorous and shy.
C. Kind and curious. D. Strict and caring.
27. What is the purpose of the author in writing the book?
A. To share stories of a babysitter.
B. To obtain a name in her career.
C. To propose life advice for kids.
D. To appreciate others' kindness.
【答案】24. A 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章介绍了一本书中的故事,讲述了Meg Medina与她深爱的保姆Miuut之间的故事。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“as well-Medina says you could look at the things on her coffee table, but you definitely couldn’t touch them.(Medina说,你可以看她咖啡桌上的东西,但绝对不能碰它们)”可知,Miuut总是只让Medina看咖啡桌上的东西,但绝对不能碰它们,所以Medina应是觉得她有点让人讨厌,所以a pain in the neck应是“让人讨厌”之意,和A项意思相近。故选A项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Brittany Cicchese, the illustrator of the book, painted this moment with her soft style — Medina sat under the table and curled up with a blanket, whispering sadly to her dog, “No more Mimi”.”(这本书的插画家Brittany Cicchese用她柔和的风格描绘了这一刻——Medina坐在桌子底下,用毯子蜷缩起来,悲伤地对她的狗说:“不再有Mimi了。”)”可知,Medina对Mimi的离去,充满不舍,所以Medina深深地爱着Mimi。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“She was a wonderful babysitter but kind of a pain in the neck, as well-Medina says you could look at the things on her coffee table, but you definitely couldn’t touch them. “She felt this was a very important skill,” she says. “We used to stand at that table and she'd have us practice, like putting our hands behind our back, and you could lean (倾斜) forward and look at all the pretty things.”(她是个很棒的保姆,但也有点让人讨厌。Medina说,你可以看她咖啡桌上的东西,但绝对不能碰它们。“她觉得这是一项非常重要的技能,”她说。“我们过去常常站在那张桌子旁,她会让我们练习,比如把我们的手放在背后,你可以向前倾,看着所有漂亮的东西。”)”可知,Miuut为锻炼Medina技能是严格的,根据第三段“Luckily, Mimi went exactly nowhere. She became friends with Medina’s grandmother, and they’d often drink coffee together. “She loved us,” says Medina. Mimi stayed a part of her life forever. “I hold a space for her in my heart,” she says.(幸运的是,Mimi哪儿也没去。她和Medina的祖母成了朋友,她们经常一起喝咖啡。“她爱我们,”Medina说。Mimi永远是她生活的一部分。“我在心里为她留了一个位置,”她说)”可知,Miuut关心Medina。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““It feels good to know that there’s this story for kids right now, but that there’s a piece of this story that’s also about remembering these wonderful women who helped raise us,” says Medina. “It feels like we’re paying them honor. You know, we’re just honoring their memory.”(Medina说:“知道现在有孩子们的故事感觉很好,但这个故事的一部分也是关于记住这些帮助培养我们的优秀女性的。”“感觉就像我们在向他们致敬。你知道,我们只是在纪念他们。”)”可推知,作者写这篇文章的目的是为孩子们提供人生建议,建议他们记住帮助培养他们的优秀女性。故选C项。
C
Over time, deaths from cold temperatures have increased in the United States. From 1999 to 2022, the country’s age-adjusted, cold-related death rate rose from about 4 per 1 million people to 9, as a research has found. These are deaths for which exposure to the cold was the main cause or was a contributor. Among different age groups, the oldest had the highest cold-related death rate. Older people are more intolerant to the cold in part because it’s harder for their bodies to generate heat and stay warm.
There was also a higher burden of cold-related deaths in some racial and ethnic groups in 2022. Among American Indian or Alaska Native people, the death rate was 63 per 1 million people. For Black people, the rate was 15 per l million.
Risks from structural factors like a lack of heat are experienced by racial and ethnic minority groups. For example, 2 percent of U.S. households, on average, have insufficient heat, but that rises to 12 percent for American Indian and Alaska Native people in tribal (部落的) areas, who generally belong to low-income groups, according to a report. And research has found that Black people are more likely to live in older homes with inefficient heating systems.
Exposure to overmuch cold can lead to hypothermia (体温过低), when a person’s core temperature falls below 35 degrees Celsius because the body can’t produce heat quickly enough to make up for its loss. During hypothermia, which is a medical emergency, the cardiovascular (心血管的) systems can’t function properly.
The research was not designed to determine why the cold-related death rate has risen. The authors propose some factors to investigate including whether there are ties to the increasing number of people experiencing homelessness in the United s in the United States — a major risk factor for exposure to dangerous cold — or to more frequent episodes of severe winter weather.
28. What are those figures in paragraph 1 introduced for?
A. Making comparison. B. Sounding a warning.
C. Introducing a topic. D. Evidencing a point.
29. What may cause higher cold-related death rates of racial and ethnic minority groups?
A. Their physical qualities. B. Their financial conditions.
C. The worse temperatures. D. The regional differences.
30. What is Paragraph 4 of the text mainly about?
A. How the worse cold does harm to bodies.
B. Why the cold-related death rate has risen.
C. How a medical emergency can be avoided.
D. Why the body systems function improperly.
31. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A news brief. B. A book review.
C. A healthcare magazine. D. A climate research paper.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述一项关于美国因感冒死亡的人数有所增加的研究并解释了背后的原因。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Over time, deaths from cold temperatures have increased in the United States. From 1999 to 2022, the country’s age-adjusted, cold-related death rate rose from about 4 per 1 million people to 9, as a research has found.(随着时间的推移,美国因感冒死亡的人数有所增加。一项研究发现,从1999年到2022年,该国经年龄调整的与感冒相关的死亡率从每100万人中约4人上升到9人)”可知,文章开头指出美国因感冒死亡的人数有所增加,接着用一项研究的数据加以证实,故第一段提到这些数据是为了证明一个观点,故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Risks from structural factors like a lack of heat are experienced by racial and ethnic minority groups. For example, 2 percent of U.S. households, on average, have insufficient heat, but that rises to 12 percent for American Indian and Alaska Native people in tribal (部落的) areas, who generally belong to low-income groups, according to a report. And research has found that Black people are more likely to live in older homes with inefficient heating systems.(缺乏热量等结构性因素带来的风险是种族和少数民族群体所经历的。例如,根据一份报告,平均有2%的美国家庭暖气不足,但在部落地区的美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民中,这一比例上升到12%,他们通常属于低收入群体。研究发现,黑人更有可能住在供暖系统效率低下的老房子里)”可知,少数种族群体通常属于低收入群体,所以缺少供暖,导致他们与感冒相关的死亡率更高,故选B。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段内容“Exposure to overmuch cold can lead to hypothermia (体温过低), when a person’s core temperature falls below 35 degrees Celsius because the body can’t produce heat quickly enough to make up for its loss. During hypothermia, which is a medical emergency, the cardiovascular (心血管的) systems can’t function properly.(暴露在太冷的环境中会导致体温过低,当一个人的核心温度降到35摄氏度以下时,因为身体不能足够快地产生热量来弥补损失。体温过低是一种医疗紧急情况,在这种情况下,心血管系统无法正常工作)”可知,本段主要讲述严寒是如何伤害身体的,故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Over time, deaths from cold temperatures have increased in the United States. From 1999 to 2022, the country’s age-adjusted, cold-related death rate rose from about 4 per 1 million people to 9, as a research has found.(随着时间的推移,美国因感冒死亡的人数有所增加。一项研究发现,从1999年到2022年,该国经年龄调整的与感冒相关的死亡率从每100万人中约4人上升到9人)”可知,文章主要讲述一项关于美国因感冒死亡的人数有所增加的研究并解释了背后的原因,应是出自一本保健杂志,故选C。
D
A biological study from Stanford University finds the diversity of life in the world’s oceans has declined over the past 145 million years during periods of extreme warming. Rising temperatures that make it hard for cold-blooded sea creatures to breathe have likely been among the biggest drivers for changes in ocean biodiversity.
“What’s important about our study is not that it shows we are having a loss of diversity when ocean temperatures rise but that pattern is maintained over millions of years,” said Thomas Boag, who co-authored a study.
The team found proof for that pattern in rock records for ocean animals going back to the time when the first flowering plants appeared and the Rocky Mountains began to rise. They used earth chemical data as an indicator for past temperatures. They found that in colder periods, diversity reaches its maximum at low latitudes (纬度), but in hotter periods, its maximum is at higher latitudes. This pattern has been kept over millions of years.
Armed with this finding, the team developed a digital model of the relationship between ocean temperature and biodiversity of ocean animals. The results suggest ocean biodiversity increases steadily with sea surface temperature up to about 20-25℃. Up beyond that range, biodiversity drops off due to the limits of oxygen content. As temperatures rise, water’s oxygen content falls, while animals’ need for oxygen grows. Imagine a mountain climber who might need extra oxygen to reach the top. Climbers have the option to carry an oxygen tank, but ocean animals, particularly cold-blooded species that rely on the external environment to manage their body temperature, are pushed to move and even likely face extinction.
The findings paint an upsetting future for ocean ecosystems at low latitudes and many coastal communities who rely on them for food in the absence of action to dramatically slow global warming. If global warming is left unchecked in the coming centuries, it would kill off many species of ocean animals and move most survivors away from the warm waters.
32. What is the major finding of the study according to Thomas Boag?
A. Global temperatures change.
B. Ocean biodiversity declines.
C. A pattern exists in the ocean ecology.
D. A distribution of ocean lives remains.
33. How did the study team learn the global temperatures in history?
A. By developing a digital model.
B. By consulting earth chemical data.
C. By researching ocean rock records.
D. By conducting logical assumptions.
34. What is the last paragraph intended to do?
A. Present a warning. B. Express a feeling.
C. Offer a solution. D. Stress a finding.
35. What can be a suitable title of the text?
A. Biodiversity and temperature changes
B. Lower temperatures, richer ocean lives
C. Lower latitudes, worse biodiversity risk
D. Global warming and ocean life diversity
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲是关于全球变暖对海洋生物多样性影响的研究,以及由此引发的对未来海洋生态系统和沿海社区的担忧。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“What’s important about our study is not that it shows we are having a loss of diversity when ocean temperatures rise but that pattern is maintained over millions of years(我们研究的重要之处不在于它表明当海洋温度上升时,我们正在失去多样性,而是这种模式在数百万年的时间里一直保持着)”可知,Thomas Boag认为这项研究的主要发现是海洋生态中存在着一种模式。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They used earth chemical data as an indicator for past temperatures.(他们使用地球化学数据作为过去温度的指标。)”可知,研究小组是通过查阅地球化学数据得知历史上的全球气温的。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings paint an upsetting future for ocean ecosystems at low latitudes and many coastal communities who rely on them for food in the absence of action to dramatically slow global warming. If global warming is left unchecked in the coming centuries, it would kill off many species of ocean animals and move most survivors away from the warm waters.(这些发现为低纬度地区的海洋生态系统和许多依赖海洋食物的沿海社区描绘了一个令人不安的未来,如果不采取行动显著减缓全球变暖。如果全球变暖在未来的几个世纪里不受控制,它将杀死许多海洋动物物种,并使大多数幸存者离开温暖的水域。)”可知,如果不采取行动减缓全球变暖,会有很多海洋物种死亡,并导致幸存者离开温暖水域。由此推知,最后一段主要是给我们提出警告。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“A biological study from Stanford University finds the diversity of life in the world’s oceans has declined over the past 145 million years during periods of extreme warming. Rising temperatures that make it hard for cold-blooded sea creatures to breathe have likely been among the biggest drivers for changes in ocean biodiversity.(斯坦福大学的一项生物学研究发现,在过去1.45亿年的极端变暖时期,世界海洋生物的多样性有所下降。气温上升使冷血海洋生物难以呼吸,这可能是海洋生物多样性变化的最大驱动因素之一。)”可知,本文主要讲的是关于全球变暖对海洋生物多样性影响的研究,以及由此引发的对未来海洋生态系统和沿海社区的担忧,因此最恰当的标题是D选项“Global warming and ocean life diversity(全球变暖和海洋生物多样性)”。故选D。

67. 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。
Grga Brkie never expected that a mountain-climbing trip would put him in such a desperate situation. That Sunday, while climbing the highest peak of the Velebit mountain range, which was about 5,800 feet above coastline, he accidentally slipped and fell nearly 500 feet down a snowy slope (斜坡). The fall caused his leg to be severely broken and he couldn’t move at all. He was filled with fear, knowing clearly that if no one came to rescue him, he might die of the freezing temperature in this snowy place.
Fortunately, two nearby hikers spotted Brke and his eight-month-old Alaskan malamute (阿拉斯加犬), North, at the bottom of the slope. However, they couldn’t reach them safely. After a brief discussion, they knew they had no choice but to rush off in search of professional rescuers. Before they left, they dropped some necessary supplies to the bottom of the slope so that Brkic could keep his strength and energy. In spite of that, Brkic couldn’t help being shivering (颤抖) in the snow with the temperature getting lower and lower.
At this critical moment, North, sensing its master’s great danger, immediately sprang into action. It circled around Brkic a few times, as if assessing the best way to help. Then, with a gentle yet determined motion, it slowly and carefully laid itself over Brkie’s body, making sure to cover as much of him as possible. As an Alaskan malamute, North are naturally resistant to cold, whose waterproof double coats can keep it warm even in temperatures as low as -20°F. Now it was like a warm little sun, tightly guarding Brkie. North remained perfectly still, and was alert to any signs of approaching help or potential danger, as if it had taken on the great responsibility of being Brkie’s guardian and protecting his master from any possible danger.
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。
Before Brkic lost consciousness (意识), he heard North barking loudly.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the rescuers managed to save and rush Brkie to the hospital with North.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Before Brkic lost consciousness, he heard North barking loudly. The barking was a signal of hope which echoed through the mountains, leading the rescuers to find them. When they found Brkic, they were surprised to find that North was still warming his master without any movement until it realized that they were here to help. The rescuers quickly launched the rescue operation. They carefully fixed Brkic's broken leg with a splint, then gently lifted him onto a stretcher. During the whole process, North refused to be separated from its owner and watched patiently.
Finally, there rescuers managed to save and rush Brkic to the hospital with North. In the hospital, Brkic underwent an emergency operation while North was unharmed. The moment Brkic regained consciousness, he thanked those kind people and searched for North, who was also looking at him with those warm and loyal eyes. Brkic reached out his hand weakly to pet North, with his voice choked with emotion as he whispered words of love and thanks. In face of the emergency, it was loyalty and kindness that cross all boundaries and brought hope of survival.
