One of my earliest memories is of my father sitting me down at our kitchen table with canvases, paints, and brushes. He taught me how to blend colors and use different materials like acrylic paints and watercolors. Whenever we felt inspired, we set out all our materials and painted what our hearts desired.
My father grew up in a small village in the Dominican Republic. Despite not having many materials available, he created art with whatever he had. My father saved his money to buy paints and colored pencils to sketch on the walls around his home. When he was 15, he arrived in America alone and stayed with his aunt in Florida for a while before finishing high school in New York with another aunt. He studied very hard. Eventually, my father was able to obtain his citizenship.
As I got older, he continued to give me lessons, teaching me different brush strokes and how to take care of my art supplies. He taught me to find beauty in everything and everyone around me. I grew to love drawing people, as I could highlight the physical features that make everyone unique and beautiful.
It wasn’t until I began looking carefully into my father’s paintings and the work of popular artists on Instagram that I started to be more critical of my work. I started to worry that I could never live up to my father’s talent. My simple, two-dimensional drawings fell flat compared to his realistic landscapes. Going through my sketchbooks and portfolios, I found fault in all my drawings. I started to believe I wasn’t good at it. Instead of working toward improving, I gave up and stopped drawing. I didn’t talk about my decision to anyone, especially my father. I didn’t want to let him down.
He had noticed that I had been drawing and painting less and told me, “Mia, you should audition for the school. I wish I’d had an opportunity to study art like this when I was a kid.” My father’s bravery and strength are things that I aspire to have. He told me his story a lot and I never got tired of hearing it. So over the next few months, I worked on my portfolio. Looking back at my pictures, I can see how much I have improved since then. The school must have seen potential in my drawings because I got in!
It was eye-opening to attend a college that specializes in the arts. I branched out from painting. I learned to embrace my individuality and my talent. I have become more open about sharing my artworks and receiving constructive criticism, which raises my self-esteem about my art.

In 2019, the multimillionaire and explorer Victor Vescovo made headlines when he became the first person to visit the deepest parts of all five of Earth’s oceans. But arguably the real star of the expedition was marine geologist Cassie Bongiovanni, the lead ocean mapper who ensured Vescovo piloted his submersible to the actual deepest depths.
Today, only 25 percent of the seafloor is well mapped. “Traditionally, captains never cared about the seafloor as long as it stayed far enough away from the hulls of their ships,” journalist Laura Trethewey writes in The Deepest Map. The book explores humankind’s quest to map the seafloor, framed around Bongiovanni’s adventures.
Seafloor topography has been a big concern for companies facilitating intercontinental communication via subsea cables. In recent decades, seafloor data have become crucial to the deep-sea mining industries searching for metals needed to produce green technology. Satellites have revealed many of the knob sand cracks visible in the deep blue of Google Maps. But with that relatively coarse information, entire mountains can be missed. To see the seafloor in high resolution requires a sophisticated sonar system aboard a big ship that sends sound signals from the sea surface into the abyss (深渊)。
Mappers like Bongiovanni calculate depth from the time it takes for the signal to travel down and bounce back to the surface. These state-of-the-art sonar systems transform the satellite-predicted blur into a sharp three-dimensional terrain of ripples, cracks and tears in the seafloor. “The seafloor is ‘heard’, rather than seen,” Trethewey writes.
Trethewey’s insightful writing helps readers understand just why mapping the ocean — even in shallow coastal waters — is crucial to so many endeavors. Trethewey’s book is about more than just mapping the oceans. It’s also about what can go wrong when explorers explore. It’s hard to read The Deepest Map without being reminded of the recent inner explosion of the Titan submersible (能潜水的) in the North Atlantic that killed everyone on board in June, 2023.
She also reminds us how easily exploration can turn into exploitation. In the not-so-distant past, Europeans “discovered” the so-called New World and mapped it, Trethewey writes. Exploitation followed. Scientists and environmentalists alike are now concerned that a full, detailed map of the ocean floor might lead to the destruction of delicate, mostly unknown habitats if deep-sea miners are allowed to extract metals.
8. What do the first three paragraphs mainly talk about?
A. The writing background of the book. B. The achievement of the geologist.
C. The production of green technology. D. The significance of mapping seafloor.
9. How do the mappers figure out the depth of the sea floor?
A. They directly measure the depth.
B. They count the time of the signal to travel.
C. They analyze the sound waves from the sonar system.
D. They take a close look at the pictures taken by the satellite.
10. Why does the author mention the accident in 2023?
A. To present the value of the book. B. To remind the readers of the past news.
C. To show the bad effect of human activities. D. To recommend the readers to read the book.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. It’s a disaster to map the floor. B. It’s easy to explore the deep sea.
C. Sea miners can make a fortune in the future. D. Scientists are cautious about charting the ocean.
D
Birders migrate annually by the thousands to the Iain Nicolson Audubon Center at Rowe Sanctuary in Kearney or the Crane Trust outside of Grand Island, Nebraska. But this precious stopover site has come under threat, like other grasslands around the world, from a number of factors including agriculture and invasive plant species. To preserve it, conservationists are reviving an ancient but long-suppressed land management method: controlled burns.
Also known as “prescribed burns” or “cultural fires”, these intentionally started, controlled fires have received growing attention in recent years, as a way to clear dry undergrowth that can build up and fuel huge wildfires. One 2024 review suggests that prescribed burning can reduce the severity of wildfires between 62% and 72% relative to untreated areas. However, the idea of prescribed burns is not new. Indigenous communities long used “cultural fires” to remove old grass and support new growth. In addition, controlled fires may also help create a healthy ecosystem for cranes and other species by creating open habitats.
“Grasslands are one of the most endangered ecosystems globally, with research showing a 60% decrease in grassland biodiversity since the 1970s,” says Amanda Hefner, an education manager at a sanctuary. “So the best way we can make sure that the grasslands stay grasslands, is by making sure that we’re using tools to keep it in that habitat — tools like prescribed fires. This allows for ‘nutrient cycling’,” adds Hefner. Wildfires are often highly intense burns that strip (去除)the land of nutrients, while low intensity, prescribed burns can clear fuel, leaving nitrogen, minerals found in ash, and partially burned, decomposing biological material, increasing nutrients in the soil soon after a burn. With the litter being cleared, there is now room for new, more nutritional growth.
Prescribed burns involve planning specific patches to set on fire. Those patches might be near firebreaks, like a road, or burn specialists might mow breaks around the burn area, which removes litter and dry grasses that could help a fire spread. They will also spray it with water to keep the fire from spreading to the break. They must take into consideration things like humidity, wind direction and where they want the fire to be pushed by that wind. If they’ve cut out a U-shape, for example, they move the fire forward until the section is completely burned. The team works together to keep it under control. Patches are usually relatively small, and timing depends on the last time they were burned, whether grazing animals are willing to eat there, which invasive species are taking over and how the area is being used by wildlife.
12. Why are conservationists reviving controlled burns?
A. To help birders migrate annually. B. To preserve diversity in nature.
C. To develop regional agriculture. D. To stop the stopover site from threat.
13. What does the 2024 review indicate?
A. Prescribed burning causes huge wildfires.
B. Cultural fires are widely used in modern agriculture.
C. Prescribed burns largely decline the seriousness of wildfires.
D. Controlled fires create open habitats suitable for certain species.
14 How do prescribed fires benefit grasslands?
A. They break down biological materials. B. They eliminate the potential of wildfires.
C. They save the endangered global ecosystems. D. They make nutrients recycled in the grasslands.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Controlled Burns Help Wildlife. B. Controlled Burns Outshine Wildfires.
C. Controlled Burns Boost Agriculture. D. Controlled Burns Revive Grasslands.

47. 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 mother rounded up my brother and me and sat us beside the Christmas tree. “Listen, kids,” she said, “this year there won’t be a gift package coming from your Aunt Hilde.”
We looked back at her with our mouths wide open. “No package?” we replied, all at once.
My mother shook her head. “Nope,” she said. “No package.”
Each year, beginning the Friday after Thanksgiving, the anticipation began. The decorating of the tree, and the scent of my mother’s once-a-year cinnamon cookies baking in the oven all foretold the one object we waited for like none other during the holiday season: our annual Christmas gift package from Aunt Hilde. My brother and I would race each other to the mailbox after school, hoping to find the large square box wrapped in brown paper.
After a few years’ worth of packages, we knew to expect certain perennial items: cookies, chocolates, and a particular brand of European hand cream for my mother. But each year, Aunt Hilde included a special souvenir for my brother and me from one of her many travels throughout the world.
Aunt Hilde was widowed at a young age and had no children of their own. She had been particularly close with my mother. They had shared an apartment when my mother first immigrated to the United States. Both cousins were heartbroken when Hilde returned to Germany to care for her aging mother. Shortly after, my parents married and had children and it was then that Hilde adopted our family as her own. Those annual gift packages were the proof we had of her love. And this year, there would be none. I felt tears well in my eyes. Didn’t she love us anymore?
Christmas Eve came and with it the acute realization that something was missing from our celebration. There were plenty of gifts from Mom and Dad. Still… I felt sad.
Suddenly, my mother abandoned her seat on the couch to peek out our living room’s wide picture window. “Did I hear a car door slam?” she asked. My mother looked back, motioning my brother and me toward the window. “There’s a taxi in the driveway.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

My brother and I jumped up to see for ourselves what was happening outside.

One of my earliest memories is of my father sitting me down at our kitchen table with canvases, paints, and brushes. He taught me how to blend colors and use different materials like acrylic paints and watercolors. Whenever we felt inspired, we set out all our materials and painted what our hearts desired.
My father grew up in a small village in the Dominican Republic. Despite not having many materials available he created art with whatever he had. My father saved his money to buy paints and colored pencils to sketch on the walls around his home. When he was 15, he arrived in America alone and stayed with his aunt in Florida for a while before finishing high school in New York with another aunt. He studied very hard. Eventually, my father was able to obtain his citizenship.
As I got older, he continued to give me lessons, teaching me different brush strokes and how to take care of my art supplies. He taught me to find beauty in everything and everyone around me. I grew to love drawing people, as I could highlight the physical features that make everyone unique and beautiful.
It wasn’t until I began looking carefully into my father’s paintings and the work of popular artists on Instagram that I started to be more critical of my work. I started to worry that I could never live up to my father’s talent. My simple, two-dimensional drawings fell flat compared to his realistic landscapes. Going through my sketchbooks and portfolios, I found fault in all my drawings. I started to believe I wasn’t good at it. Instead of working toward improving, I gave up and stopped drawing. I didn’t talk about my decision to anyone, especially my father. I didn’t want to let him down.
He had noticed that I had been drawing and painting less and told me, “Mia, you should audition for the school. I wish I’d had an opportunity to study art like this when I was a kid.” My father’s bravery and strength are things that I aspire to have. He told me his story a lot and I never got tired of hearing it. So over the next few months, I worked on my portfolio. Looking back at my pictures, I can see how much I have improved since then. The school must have seen potential in my drawings because I got in!
It was eye-opening to attend a college that specializes in the arts. I branched out from painting. I learned to embrace my individuality and my talent. I have become more open about sharing my artworks and receiving constructive criticism, which raises my self-esteem about my art.

In 2019, the multimillionaire and explorer Victor Vescovo made headlines when he became the first person to visit the deepest parts of all five of Earth’s oceans. But arguably the real star of the expedition was marine geologist Cassie Bongiovanni, the lead ocean mapper who ensured Vescovo piloted his submersible to the actual deepest depths.
Today, only 25 percent of the seafloor is well mapped. “Traditionally, captains never cared about the seafloor as long as it stayed far enough away from the hulls of their ships,” journalist Laura Trethewey writes in The Deepest Map. The book explores humankind’s quest to map the seafloor, framed around Bongiovanni’s adventures.
Seafloor topography has been a big concern for companies facilitating intercontinental communication via subsea cables. In recent decades, seafloor data have become crucial to the deep-sea mining industries searching for metals needed to produce green technology. Satellites have revealed many of the knob sand cracks visible in the deep blue of Google Maps. But with that relatively coarse information, entire mountains can be missed. To see the seafloor in high resolution requires a sophisticated sonar system aboard a big ship that sends sound signals from the sea surface into the abyss (深渊)。
Mappers like Bongiovanni calculate depth from the time it takes for the signal to travel down and bounce back to the surface. These state-of-the-art sonar systems transform the satellite-predicted blur into a sharp three-dimensional terrain of ripples, cracks and tears in the seafloor. “The seafloor is ‘heard’, rather than seen,” Trethewey writes.
Trethewey’s insightful writing helps readers understand just why mapping the ocean — even in shallow coastal waters — is crucial to so many endeavors. Trethewey’s book is about more than just mapping the oceans. It’s also about what can go wrong when explorers explore. It’s hard to read The Deepest Map without being reminded of the recent inner explosion of the Titan submersible (能潜水的) in the North Atlantic that killed everyone on board in June, 2023.
She also reminds us how easily exploration can turn into exploitation. In the not-so-distant past, Europeans “discovered” the so-called New World and mapped it, Trethewey writes. Exploitation followed. Scientists and environmentalists alike are now concerned that a full, detailed map of the ocean floor might lead to the destruction of delicate, mostly unknown habitats if deep-sea miners are allowed to extract metals.
8. What do the first three paragraphs mainly talk about?
A. The writing background of the book. B. The achievement of the geologist.
C. The production of green technology. D. The significance of mapping seafloor.
9. How do the mappers figure out the depth of the sea floor?
A. They directly measure the depth.
B. They count the time of the signal to travel.
C. They analyze the sound waves from the sonar system.
D. They take a close look at the pictures taken by the satellite.
10. Why does the author mention the accident in 2023?
A. To present the value of the book. B. To remind the readers of the past news.
C. To show the bad effect of human activities. D. To recommend the readers to read the book.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. It’s a disaster to map the floor. B. It’s easy to explore the deep sea.
C. Sea miners can make a fortune in the future. D. Scientists are cautious about charting the ocean.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. D

Birders migrate annually by the thousands to the Iain Nicolson Audubon Center at Rowe Sanctuary in Kearney or the Crane Trust outside of Grand Island, Nebraska. But this precious stopover site has come under threat, like other grasslands around the world, from a number of factors including agriculture and invasive plant species. To preserve it, conservationists are reviving an ancient but long-suppressed land management method: controlled burns.
Also known as “prescribed burns” or “cultural fires”, these intentionally started, controlled fires have received growing attention in recent years, as a way to clear dry undergrowth that can build up and fuel huge wildfires. One 2024 review suggests that prescribed burning can reduce the severity of wildfires between 62% and 72% relative to untreated areas. However, the idea of prescribed burns is not new. Indigenous communities long used “cultural fires” to remove old grass and support new growth. In addition, controlled fires may also help create a healthy ecosystem for cranes and other species by creating open habitats.
“Grasslands are one of the most endangered ecosystems globally, with research showing a 60% decrease in grassland biodiversity since the 1970s,” says Amanda Hefner, an education manager at a sanctuary. “So the best way we can make sure that the grasslands stay grasslands, is by making sure that we’re using tools to keep it in that habitat — tools like prescribed fires. This allows for ‘nutrient cycling’,” adds Hefner. Wildfires are often highly intense burns that strip (去除)the land of nutrients, while low intensity, prescribed burns can clear fuel, leaving nitrogen, minerals found in ash, and partially burned, decomposing biological material, increasing nutrients in the soil soon after a burn. With the litter being cleared, there is now room for new, more nutritional growth.
Prescribed burns involve planning specific patches to set on fire. Those patches might be near firebreaks, like a road, or burn specialists might mow breaks around the burn area, which removes litter and dry grasses that could help a fire spread. They will also spray it with water to keep the fire from spreading to the break. They must take into consideration things like humidity, wind direction and where they want the fire to be pushed by that wind. If they’ve cut out a U-shape, for example, they move the fire forward until the section is completely burned. The team works together to keep it under control. Patches are usually relatively small, and timing depends on the last time they were burned, whether grazing animals are willing to eat there, which invasive species are taking over and how the area is being used by wildlife.
12. Why are conservationists reviving controlled burns?
A. To help birders migrate annually. B. To preserve diversity in nature.
C. To develop regional agriculture. D. To stop the stopover site from threat.
13. What does the 2024 review indicate?
A. Prescribed burning causes huge wildfires.
B. Cultural fires are widely used in modern agriculture.
C. Prescribed burns largely decline the seriousness of wildfires.
D. Controlled fires create open habitats suitable for certain species.
14. How do prescribed fires benefit grasslands?
A. They break down biological materials. B. They eliminate the potential of wildfires.
C. They save the endangered global ecosystems. D. They make nutrients recycled in the grasslands.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Controlled Burns Help Wildlife. B. Controlled Burns Outshine Wildfires.
C. Controlled Burns Boost Agriculture. D. Controlled Burns Revive Grasslands.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. D

47. 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 mother rounded up my brother and me and sat us beside the Christmas tree. “Listen, kids,” she said, “this year there won’t be a gift package coming from your Aunt Hilde.”
We looked back at her with our mouths wide open. “No package?” we replied, all at once.
My mother shook her head. “Nope,” she said. “No package.”
Each year, beginning the Friday after Thanksgiving, the anticipation began. The decorating of the tree, and the scent of my mother’s once-a-year cinnamon cookies baking in the oven all foretold the one object we waited for like none other during the holiday season: our annual Christmas gift package from Aunt Hilde. My brother and I would race each other to the mailbox after school, hoping to find the large square box wrapped in brown paper.
After a few years’ worth of packages, we knew to expect certain perennial items: cookies, chocolates, and a particular brand of European hand cream for my mother. But each year, Aunt Hilde included a special souvenir for my brother and me from one of her many travels throughout the world.
Aunt Hilde was widowed at a young age and had no children of their own. She had been particularly close with my mother. They had shared an apartment when my mother first immigrated to the United States. Both cousins were heartbroken when Hilde returned to Germany to care for her aging mother. Shortly after, my parents married and had children and it was then that Hilde adopted our family as her own. Those annual gift packages were the proof we had of her love. And this year, there would be none. I felt tears well in my eyes. Didn’t she love us anymore?
Christmas Eve came and with it the acute realization that something was missing from our celebration. There were plenty of gifts from Mom and Dad. Still… I felt sad.
Suddenly, my mother abandoned her seat on the couch to peek out our living room’s wide picture window. “Did I hear a car door slam?” she asked. My mother looked back, motioning my brother and me toward the window. “There’s a taxi in the driveway.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My brother and I jumped up to see for ourselves what was happening outside.

After inquiring about the family, she detailed the accounts of her latest travels.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】My brother and I jumped up to see for ourselves what was happening outside. To our astonishment, Aunt Hilde stepped out of the taxi, carrying a large, beautifully wrapped package. We rushed to the door, our hearts pounding with excitement. “Aunt Hilde!” we exclaimed in unison, unable to contain our joy. She smiled warmly, her eyes twinkling with the same affection we had always known. “I couldn’t let Christmas pass without seeing you,” she said, her voice filled with emotion. We hugged her tightly, feeling the warmth of her love envelop us once more.
After inquiring about the family, she detailed the accounts of her latest travels. She had been to Africa, where she had visited several remote villages and learned about their unique cultures. She brought us handmade crafts and told us stories of the people she had met. “I wanted to share a piece of my journey with you,” she said, handing us the package. We eagerly opened it to find not only the usual cookies and chocolates but also a special souvenir—a beautifully carved wooden elephant from Kenya. It was a symbol of her love and the adventures she had experienced. That Christmas, we realized that the greatest gift was not the presents themselves but the love and connection we shared with Aunt Hilde.
