Some winters, it got so cold that the river would freeze, which was unusual for water like that, water which ran so fast and deep.It felt as though time had stopped near the river, and so it had decided to become solid, settling in to wait for spring.We liked to skate on that river, my grandfather and I, even though the ice was uneven and his brown leather skates was so old. One night, in the most frigid winter my young mind could recall, long after I should have been asleep, I caught my grandfather sneaking out of the front door, his ancient leather skates in his hands.He looked sheepish when he saw me, like I had caught him doing something silly, but I was so young that I thought no adult could ever do wrong.Especially my grandfather, because he was the model of wisdom in my eyes. “Grandpa, where are you going？” I asked. “Skating on the river.” “Why would you go out now? We did that yesterday morning.” He looked a little thoughtful, and then he said: “It's just that when you go out there, on the coldest, stillest night of the year, and you lie on your back on the thick, bubbled river ice, you can hear them.” “Hear who？” “The fish.Trapped there under the ice.You can hear them singing their watery winter song.And if you hold your breath, you can almost hear the stars singing in harmony.” [语篇解读]本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一家住在离任何城镇都很远很远的佛蒙特州的常绿森林里，但也正是作者一家人喜欢的地方，以及作者祖父在寒冷的午夜做的事，让作者感受到了拥抱自然可以净化人们的心灵。 4．What does the underlined word “sheepish” probably mean in Paragraph 3?

Wildlife filmmaker Carlos Gauna and UC Riverside biology doctoral student Phillip Sternes were scanning the waters for sharks on July 9, 2023, near Santa Barbara on California's central coast.That day, something exciting appeared on the viewfinder of Gauna's drone camera.It was a shark pup (幼崽) unlike any they'd ever seen. “We enlarged the images, put them in slow motion, and realized the white layer was being shed(脱落)from the body as it was swimming，” Sternes said.“I believe it was a newborn white shark shedding its embryonic layer.” These observations are documented in a new paper in the Environmental Biology of Fishes journal.What Gauna and Sternes observed could help solve the longstanding mystery of great white birthing habits.This may well be the first evidence we have of a pup in the wild.Great whites, referred to only as white sharks by scientists, are gray on the top and white on the bottom. But this roughly 5­foot­long shark was pure white. Though the paper authors acknowledge it is possible that the white layer the shark shed could have been a skin condition, the two believe what they saw was in fact a newborn great white.First, great white females give birth to live pups.A second reason is the presence of large, likely pregnant great whites in this location.Finally, this location off the coast of central California has long been proposed as a birthing location for great whites.Many scholars believe great whites are born farther out at sea. Great whites are listed as an international endangered species.“Further research is needed to confirm these waters are indeed a great white breeding ground.But if it does, we would want lawmakers to step in and protect these waters to help white sharks keep thriving，” Sternes said. [语篇解读]本文是新闻报道。文章主要报道了野生动物电影制片人Carlos Gauna和生物学家Phillip Sternes在加州海岸首次拍摄到疑似新生大白鲨脱去胚胎层的珍贵画面，这一发现可能揭示了大白鲨繁殖习惯的奥秘，为长期以来关于大白鲨出生地的推测提供了首个野外证据。 8．What do we know about what appeared on Carlos Gauna's camera? A．It is rare in the world. B．It is tough to identify. C．It is not open to the public. D．It is unbelievable to scientists. 解析：选A。细节理解题。根据文章第一段“That is partially because no one has seen one in the wild, it seems, until now.”及第二段“That day, something exciting appeared on the viewfinder of Gauna's drone camera.It was a shark pup unlike any they'd ever seen.”可知，镜头中出现的鲨鱼幼崽他们从未见过，在世界上是罕见的。故选A。 9．What does the white shark pup look like? A．Pure gray. B．White only on the bottom. C．Gray on the top. D．Pure white. 解析：选D。细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But this roughly 5­foot­long shark was pure white.”可知，白鲨幼崽看起来像纯白的。故选D。 10．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A．How great white females give birth to pups. B．How the authors prove they saw a baby shark. C．Why the authors believe they saw a newborn shark pup. D．Why the authors think the white layer is a skin condition. 解析：选C。段落大意题。根据文章第五段“Though the paper authors acknowledge it is possible that the white layer the shark shed could have been a skin condition, the two believe what they saw was in fact a newborn great white.First，...”可知，尽管作者承认鲨鱼脱落的白色层可能是由皮肤状况造成的，但两人认为他们看到的实际上是一只新生的大白鲨。然后讲述为什么认为他们看到了一只新生的鲨鱼幼崽。故选C。 11．What does Sternes hope for if their assumption is confirmed? A．Helping white sharks to stop breeding. B．Using laws to protect shark pups and their habitats. C．Listing white sharks as endangered species. D．Further study to confirm white sharks breeding waters. 解析：选B。细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Further research is needed to confirm these waters are indeed a great white breeding ground.But if it does, we would want lawmakers...”可知，如果他们的假设得到证实，Sternes希望利用法律保护鲨鱼幼崽及其栖息地。故选B。 D (2024·安徽宿州市示范高中高二下期中)Scientists have calculated the total amount of plastic ever made: 8.3 billion tons.Looked at another way, that's as heavy as 25, 000 Empire State Buildings or one billion elephants.And incredibly, almost all of it has been made in the last 65 years. Much plastic is in the form of packaging which is used just once and then thrown away.According to a major new study from the University of California, 9% of this is recycled, 12% is completely burnt and 79% goes to landfill.And because most plastic is not easily disposed of, once it's in the ground, it stays there. It's a situation that has led the paper's lead author, ecologist Dr.Roland Geyer, to say that we are rapidly heading towards “Planet Plastic”．The team behind this report also estimate that eight million tons of plastic waste are escaping into the sea every year.This has caused concern that plastic is entering the food chain, through fish and other sea life which swallow the smaller fragments. Of course, the reason why there's so much plastic around is that it's an amazingly useful material.It's durable and adaptable, and is used for everything from yoghurt pots to spaceships.But it's exactly this quality that makes it a problem.The only way to destroy plastic is to heat or burn it—although this has the side effect of harmful emissions. So what's the alternative, other than using less plastic? Oceanographer Dr.Erik van Sebille from Utrecht University says we're facing a “tsunami” of plastic waste, and that the global waste industry needs to “get its act together”． Professor Richard Thompson, a marine biologist from Plymouth University, says it's poor design that's at fault.He says that if products are currently designed “with recyclability in mind”， they could be recycled around 20 times over. [语篇解读]本文是说明文。文章主要是讲科学家们发现人类在全球制造了数量惊人的塑料，我们正迅速走向“塑料星球”，这正在造成严重的污染。文章对此进行了介绍。 12．Which of the following is the best topic sentence for paragraph two? A．So where does the plastic get burnt? B．So why is much plastic thrown away? C．So what's the problem? D．So how is the plastic disposed of? 解析：选C。段落大意题。根据第二段讲述了大多数塑料都不容易处理，所以一旦进入地下，就会留在那里。第一段讲述了人类制造的塑料总量。第二段是解释第一段中的数据背后的问题。故选C。 13．How might plastic enter the food we eat? A．By being eaten and absorbed by sea creatures. B．By being used as useful materials. C．By getting into the food market directly. D．By getting into the deep sea. 解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“This has caused concern that plastic is entering the food chain, through fish and other sea life which swallow the smaller fragments.”可知，塑料被海洋生物吃掉并吸收，从而进入食物链。故选A。 14．Which of the following might Richard Thompson agree with? A．Plastic waste has caused tsunami. B．The design of products should be environmentally friendly. C．Plastics are currently recycled over 20 times. D．Global waste industry is to blame for the plastic waste problem. 解析：选B。推理判断题。根据最后一段“Professor Richard Thompson, a marine biologist from Plymouth University, says it's poor design that's at fault.He says that if products are currently designed ‘with recyclability in mind’， they could be recycled around 20 times over.”可知，理查德·汤普森认为如果目前的产品在设计时“考虑到可回收性”，它们可以被回收20次以上。他可能会认同产品设计应该对环境友好的观点。故选B。 15．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Global Waste Industry B．Recyclability of Plastics C．Planet Plastic D．Plastic Waste into the Sea 解析：选C。标题归纳题。根据第一段“Scientists have calculated the total amount of plastic ever made: 8.3 billion tons.”和第三段“...we are rapidly heading towards ‘Planet Plastic’．”可知，文章主要是讲科学家们发现人类在全球制造了数量惊人的塑料，我们正“迅速走向‘塑料星球’”。故选C。 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。 Barbara Chung may have the tiniest habitat garden in Los Angeles—some 200 mostly native plants in pots (陶盆) on her 7­by­20­foot townhouse terrace.She always reminds people that they can support nature without a yard.16. ． Choose plants that are easy to grow, or pick plants adapted to your specific climate. 17． ．Her attempts to grow small manzanitas failed with three different varieties until she learned about Big Sur manzanita, a plant discovered growing along the coast.Now it's flowering happily in a pot outside her kitchen window. 18． ． Emotional value is not usually recommended in landscaping, but it's been one of Chung's guiding principles.She's created an aromatherapy (芳香疗法) section of her garden because the intense pleasant smell of so many native plants makes her feel good. Choose a high percentage of evergreen plants that flower at different times of the year. Many native plants are inactive in the summer, which is not a good look for a terrace, or helpful to pollinators (传粉者), she said.19. ，so you can be sure something is always providing food for pollinators and pleasure for humans. Use good quality potting soil. Chung discovered her plants did better when she used potting soils that held moisture (水分). 20. ，rather than putting the plant in dry soil and watering afterward.And use something like rocks on top of the soil to help keep in moisture. A．Make sure the soil is slightly wet when you plant B．Choose plants that mean something to you personally C．Volunteer with native plant organizations to learn more D．And flowering periods are especially important in small spaces E．Chung discovered that desert plants were unhappy with the moisture F．Here are Chung's tips for starting your own container habitat garden of native plants G．The more she learned about native plants, the more she wanted to try growing her own [语篇解读]本文是说明文。Barbara Chung介绍了用容器种植花草的几点注意事项。 16．解析：选F。设空处承上启下，起过渡作用。设空处上文指出，Barbara Chung通过自己的实践告诉人们：不需要院子也可以拥有自己的小花园；设空处下文介绍了在容器中种植花草的几点注意事项。由此可推知，设空处应当说明Chung分享了自己的一些种植建议，F项符合语境。F项中的tips指代下文中的几点建议，F项中的“starting your own container habitat garden”与上文中的“support nature without a yard”相照应。 17．解析：选E。设空处位于段首，起引出话题的作用。根据小标题可知，Chung建议选择种植易生长的或者是能适应当地气候条件的植物，E项符合语境。E项中的“desert plants were unhappy with the moisture”与下文中的“Her attempts to grow...failed”相照应。 18．解析：选B。设空处为本段小标题，起概括全段主旨的作用。根据段首句可知，本段主要说明种植时还要将情感价值考虑在内，B项符合语境。B项中的“mean something to you personally”与下文中的Emotional value相照应。 19．解析：选D。设空处与下文为因果关系。根据小标题可知，本段指出应当选择较多花期不同的常绿植物。D项中的flowering periods与小标题中的flower at different times相照应。 20．解析：选A。设空处承接上文，与下文为转折关系。根据设空处后的rather than可推知，设空处与下文之间为转折关系，应当说明种植时土壤不能干燥，A项符合语境。A项中的“the soil is slightly wet when you plant”与下文中的“putting the plant in dry soil”构成反义关系。 第二部分　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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Coming from Villa Tesei, one of the neighborhoods in the greater urban region of Buenos Aires, Argentina, muralist (壁画家) Fio Silva adds transformative effects of brilliant color and movement to the walls that she touches—much of it inspired by 21 .

Alex was curious about the turtles.When it was too rainy to go canoeing, he often went to the library to check out books on turtles.Now it looked like tomorrow might be another sunny day.He decided he would ask Dad if they could go canoeing and look for turtles again. Just then Alex saw something in the road up ahead.It looked like a big gray rock.But it was a funny place for a rock to be.And then, the rock started to move.When he rode his bike up to get a closer look, he saw that it wasn't a rock at all.It was a large turtle slowly crossing the road.Alex knew right away it was a snapping turtle.He had read that snapping turtles lay their eggs on the land away from the water.It was spring and he guessed lots of turtles would be busy laying eggs.He also knew a snapping turtle has a powerful bite.So he stood at a distance and watched the turtle move slowly over the road. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a car approaching.The turtle was still only halfway across the road.Alex knew he couldn't pick it up to move it safely to the grass.What could he do? Thinking fast, he started jumping up and down and waved the car down.Alex pointed at the moving turtle and said to the driver, “I'm just trying to save it.” The driver applauded his efforts.Seeing the car pulling away, Alex thought, “I couldn't stand there all day trying to stop cars.” Suddenly, a road sign caught his eye.His face brightened. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请在相应位置作答。 He jumped on his bike and raced home to find Dad.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 The next morning, Dad and Alex drove to the pond with the wooden sign in the car. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 [参考范文] He jumped on his bike and raced home to find Dad.“Dad, can I have some old wood to make a wooden sign？” Alex asked eagerly.Hearing Alex's explanation, Dad smiled knowingly.Alex couldn't wait to make one.He asked Dad to help him cut a wooden board into the “T” shape immediately.Then, he wrote down a line on both sides, reading, “Slow! Turtles Crossing！” With the work all done, they put the wooden sign into their car. The next morning, Dad and Alex drove to the pond with the wooden sign in the car.Upon arriving, they sprang into action.Together, Alex and his dad lifted the wooden sign out of the car and hammered it into the ground by the side of the road.Then Alex stepped back and surveyed their work.“Slow! Turtles Crossing！” he read out loud with pride.“Are you ready to go canoeing？” said Dad.“Yes！” Alex shouted, rushing to the pond by which he saw the cattails dancing in the wind as if showing their approval of what Alex had done. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
