These are some of the world’s most beautiful deserts that you can see while traveling. Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt desert and a truly mystical place to visit. Tens of thousands of years ago, this region was part of a prehistoric lake. However, these lakes dried up and left behind two new smaller lakes and these expansive salt flats. An estimated 10 billion tons of salt can be found in this desert. Painted Desert, Arizona, USA The Painted Desert of Arizona got its name from the vibrant red, orange, blue, and purple colors painted across the landscape. Less than 10 inches of rain fall here each year, and the colors were created by minerals in the clay and sandstone rock. There are lots of great trails to hike through this desert, especially at sunset when the colors are on display. Pinnacles Desert, Australia You’ll need to head to the Nambung National Park in Western Australia to experience the Pinnacles Desert for yourself. This desert gets its name from the beautiful spires (尖顶) made of rock that rise from the sand dunes (沙丘). The rock formations here have been weathered so much over time to undeniably stand out among the gentle yellow sand dunes. Share this story Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest 1 What do the first two deserts have in common? A. Rich minerals. B. Diverse colors. C. Expansive flats. D. Countless trails. 2. Why does Pinnacles Desert get its name? A. For its sand dunes. B. For its special shape. C. For its long history. D. For its unusual weather. 3. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A travel brochure. B. A geography textbook. C. A fashion magazine. D. A trip discovery platform. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3.

(然而，这些湖泊干涸了，留下了两个新的较小的湖泊和这些广阔的盐滩。据估计，在这片沙漠中可以发现100亿吨盐)”及第三段“Less than 10 inches of rain fall here each year, and the colors were created by minerals in the clay and sandstone rock. (这里每年的降雨量不到10英寸，这些颜色是由粘土和砂岩中的矿物质形成的)”可知，这两个沙漠的矿物质都很丰富，其中盐是矿物质的一种。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“This desert gets its name from the beautiful spires (尖顶) made of rock that rise from the sand dunes (沙丘). (这个沙漠的名字来源于沙丘上美丽的尖塔)”可知，Pinnacles Desert因其特殊的形状而得名。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest (点击以下选项以便在Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest上分享)”可知，文章末尾提供了三个分享点击选项，鼓励看到这篇文章的人在网上进行分享。由此推知，本文最有可能摘自网站，即旅行发现平台。故选D。 B “The movie American Sniper is on,” I said to my husband as we settled into bed. We decided to watch, figuring it would take our minds off my husband’s situation at work. He had been working with the same organization for close to twenty-three years, and the management, he suspected, was preparing to let him go. The signs were pretty clear and I felt his pain. I wondered if American Sniper was the wrong movie to watch and considered changing the channel. Maybe something lighter was in order? A family comedy with laughter would have been more uplifting (令人开心的) for my husband. “It wouldn’t bother me so much if I just felt appreciated,” he said. We turned the volume down as my son was in the next room studying for the final-term examinations. “You know this movie is based on a true story,” I said, half thinking about my husband’s situation and half watching the movie. “Yes,” he replied. “It’s based on Chris Kyle’s book.” I thought about all the young men who had lost their lives in Iraq. “Incredibly, some of those boys were only a couple of years older than James,” I said, referring to our son. As I watched the movie, I began to realize how negligible our problems really were. “You know, other couples are in bed tonight wondering if their sons are safe on a battlefield (战场); and here we are with our son perfectly safe in the next room.” Over the next hour, the mood in our bedroom changed from depression to gratitude. How blessed we were! Our son was healthy and safe in the next room. We had a roof over our heads and could walk outside without worrying whether there would be bullets flying through the air! As for my husband’s job, he could do something else — something that he would have passion for. 4. What do we know about the author’s husband? A. He was out of work. B. He liked family comedies. C. He got upset because of work. D. He didn’t want to watch American Sniper. 5. What is the movie probably about? A. The friendship among some young men. B. Some boys losing lives in an accident. C. A story about the author’s son. D. The war that happened in Iraq. 6. What does the underlined word “negligible” in the last but one paragraph mean? A. Unfortunate. B. Unforgettable. C. Unimportant. D. Unbelievable. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Be grateful for what you have B. Get some power from a movie C. You can always control your life D. Stay strong in the face of difficulty 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述当丈夫面临失业，家庭笼罩着伤感的氛围时，一部电影改变了作者和丈夫的心态。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“He had been working with the same organization for close to twenty-three years, and the management, he suspected, was preparing to let him go. The signs were pretty clear and I felt his pain.(他在同一家公司工作了将近二十三年，他怀疑管理层正准备解雇他。征兆很明显，我能感觉到他的痛苦)”可知，作者的丈夫怀疑管理层正准备让他走人。即将失业的迹象很明显，作者能感受到他的痛苦。因此可以推测作者的丈夫因为工作的事情心烦意乱。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“I thought about all the young men who had lost their lives in Iraq.(我想起了所有在伊拉克失去生命的年轻人)”以及倒数第二段中的“You know, other couples are in bed tonight wondering if their sons are safe on a battlefield (战场)(你知道，有些夫妇今晚躺在床上，担心他们的儿子在战场上是否安全)”可知，这部电影可能是关于伊拉克战争的。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句推测题。根据倒数第二段的内容“As I watched the movie, I began to realize how negligible our problems really were. ‘You know, other couples are in bed tonight wondering if their sons are safe on a battlefield (战场); and here we are with our son perfectly safe in the next room.’(当我看电影时，我开始意识到我们的问题是多么negligible。‘你知道，有些夫妇今晚躺在床上，担心他们的儿子在战场上是否安全；现在我们和儿子在隔壁房间里，非常安全。’)”可知，作者看到电影里的那些士兵，想到他们的父母在担心自己的孩子能否平安回来。相比之下，作者的丈夫失业是多么小的事情，显得并不是那么重要，negligible意为“不重要的”，故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合最后一段“Over the next hour, the mood in our bedroom changed from depression to gratitude. How blessed we were! Our son was healthy and safe in the next room. We had a roof over our heads and could walk outside without worrying whether there would be bullets flying through the air! As for my husband’s job, he could do something else — something that he would have passion for.(在接下来的一个小时里，我们卧室里的情绪从沮丧变成了感激。我们是多么幸福啊！我们的儿子在隔壁房间里很健康，很安全。我们头上有了屋顶，可以在外面散步，而不用担心空中会不会有子弹飞来！至于我丈夫的工作，他可以做其他事情——他会有激情的事情)”可知，本文通过描写作者心态的改变，说明了这样一个道理：我们应该珍惜和感恩自己已经拥有的一切。A项“感激你所拥有的”为最佳标题，故选A。 C Despite more than a month of efforts to rescue Tenora, a young green sea turtle, pollution-related issues made it difficult to save her. Tenora was finally put to death to reduce her suffering. Tenora was brought in by Rainbow Reef Dive Center staff and customers on October 3, 2020.The rescue team was led by PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors)Instructor Josh Phillips who had made it his “personal mission” to help Tenora after seeing her with a softball-sized tumor (肿瘤) out on the reefs (暗礁). He connected with the Turtle Hospital, a nonprofit in the Florida Keys for permission and guidance about how to rescue her. After over a month of searching and failed attempts, Phillips was finally able to rescue her on a rainy Saturday. Shelby Ferguson of the Turtle Hospital met the boat at the dock to bring Tenora in for evaluation and care. Ferguson explained that green see turtles are the species most easily affected by the virus that causes fibropapilloma (FP) tumors like the one Tenora had. Generally, she said, the more polluted the water, the more turtles present with FP tumors. In Hawaii, nitrogen ( 氯) runoff from pineapple farms increases the disease incidence in green sea turtles near the islands, explained Bette Zirkelbach, manager at the Turtle Hospital. Scientists there first made the link between poor water quality and increased FP tumors in green sea turtles. The Turtle Hospital is building on this knowledge by leading an in-water scientific study on sea turtle health in the Florida Keys for the next three years, she added. While external masses can be surgically removed, there is currently no treatment for internal FP tumors in sea turtles, so animals like Tenora are humanely put to death to reduce their suffering, Zirkelbach said. Phillips reflected on Tenora’s loss, saying, “I think it is terrible to consider that this is mostly caused by humans.” He urged everyone, “Wake up. Do better. We’re all in this together, and if we don’t try to change how we live our lives, things aren’t going to get any better. This is our chance lo do something today for the next generation.” 8. How did Phillip react while seeing Tenora for the first time? A. He almost ignored her condition. B. He brought her to the Turtle Hospital. C. He immediately knew she needed help. D. He decided to start a nonprofit for the species. 9. What does Ferguson’s explanation tell us about green sea turtles? A. They have already become endangered. B. They are easily threatened by polluted water. C. It is still unclear how they get FP tumors. D. It is rare to see they have internal FP tumors. 10 Why does the author mention Phillips’ words in the last paragraph? A. To draw attention to green sea turtles. B. To describe ways of protecting the earth. C. To call for action to help the environment. D. To educate the next generation in responsibility. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. A Diver Helps Save a Green Sea Turtle B. Pollution Worldwide Is Putting Species in Danger C. Rescue Green Sea Turtle Is Put to Death Due to Tumor D. Researchers Are Looking for Ways to Rescue Green Sea Turtles 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是救援队教练菲利普斯拯救绿海龟的故事，同时他呼吁人们保护环境，减少污染. 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The rescue team was led by PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors)Instructor Josh Phillips who had made it his “personal mission” to help Tenora after seeing her with a softball-sized tumor (肿瘤) out on the reefs (暗礁). He connected with the Turtle Hospital, a nonprofit in the Florida Keys for permission and guidance about how to rescue her.( 救援队由PADI(专业潜水教练协会)教练乔希·菲利普斯领导，他在珊瑚礁上看到泰诺拉长了一个垒球大小的肿瘤后，就把帮助她作为自己的“个人任务”。他联系了海龟医院，这是佛罗里达群岛的一家非营利组织，请求允许并指导如何拯救她。)”可知，他在珊瑚礁上看到泰诺拉长了一个垒球大小的肿瘤后，就把帮助她作为自己的“个人任务”即他立刻意识到她需要帮助。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Ferguson explained that green see turtles are the species most easily affected by the virus that causes fibropapilloma (FP) tumors like the one Tenora had. Generally, she said, the more polluted the water, the more turtles present with FP tumors.(弗格森解释说，绿海龟是最容易受到导致纤维乳头瘤(FP)肿瘤的病毒影响的物种，就像泰诺拉所患的那样。她说，一般来说，水污染越严重，患FP肿瘤的海龟就越多。)”可知，绿海龟很容易受到水污染的威胁。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He urged everyone, “Wake up. Do better. We’re all in this together, and if we don’t try to change how we live our lives, things aren’t going to get any better. This is our chance to do something today for the next generation.”(他催促大家：“醒醒吧。做得更好。我们都在一起，如果我们不尝试改变我们的生活方式，事情不会变得更好。这是我们今天为下一代做点什么的机会。”)”可知，菲利普斯在此处呼吁采取行动保护环境。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章讲述的是救援队教练菲利普斯拯救绿海龟的故事。A选项“A Diver Helps Save a Green Sea Turtle(一名潜水员帮助拯救一只绿海龟)”能够概括文章主要内容。故选A。 D Decision fatigue (决策疲劳) is a psychological phenomenon where the quality of decisions declines after a long session of decision-making. It is caused by the limited mental energy we have for making choices each day. While many of us believe we are logical beings capable of weighing every option carefully, decision fatigue shows how our mental resources can be used up over time. One of the key studies on this phenomenon was conducted in the context of parole hearings (假释听证会). Researchers found that judges were more likely to approve of parole early in the day or after a meal break. As the day progressed and the judges made more decisions, they were increasingly likely to maintain their previous decisions, denying parole simply because it required less mental effort. Decision fatigue not only affects major life choices but also everyday decisions. For instance, people often report struggling to decide what to eat for dinner after a long day. Similarly, too many choices, such as when looking through streaming platforms or online stores, can leave individuals feeling confused, leading them to abandon the process entirely or settle for a less satisfying option. To overcome decision fatigue, some well-known figures have adopted strategies to simplify their daily routines. For example, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is famous for wearing the same style of gray T-shirts to minimize unnecessary choices. Similarly, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Albert Einstein was known for owing multiple identical suits to avoid wasting energy on deciding what to wear each day. In a different context, author Haruki Murakami has shared that he maintains a strict daily routine, including specific writing hours and exercise, to free up mental capacity for his creative work. Understanding decision fatigue can help us structure our lives more effectively. Prioritizing important decisions earlier in the day or setting up routines to minimize unnecessary choices are strategies to preserve mental energy. By managing our mental resources wisely, we can make sound decisions and reduce the stress associated with overwhelming choices 12. What leads to decision fatigue according to the text? A. The lack of time to make decisions. B. The difficulty of making logical choices. C. The stress from making important decisions. D. The limited mental energy for decision-making. 13. What does the study on parole hearings reveal? A. Judges are much stricter after long breaks. B. Decision fatigue can lead to unfair outcomes. C. Fatigue causes judges to avoid complicated cases. D. External factors have no impact on decision-making. 14. What does the author suggest readers shopping online do? A. Make quick decisions. B. Compare different products. C. Limit the number of choices. D. Choose the most popular products. 15. What is the purpose of adopting routines? A. To reduce the stress of daily work. B. To increase decision-making quality. C. To enhance overall life satisfaction. D. To create more decision-making chances 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了决策疲劳这一心理现象，即长时间做决策后决策质量下降的情况，并探讨了其原因、影响及应对策略。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It is caused by the limited mental energy we have for making choices each day. (这是由于我们每天用于做选择精力有限)”可知，决策疲劳是由有限的决策精力导致的。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Researchers found that judges were more likely to approve of parole early in the day or after a meal break. As the day progressed and the judges made more decisions, they were increasingly likely to maintain their previous decisions, denying parole simply because it required less mental effort. (研究人员发现，法官在一天早些时候或饭后休息后更有可能批准假释。随着一天的进行，法官做出的决定越多，他们就越有可能维持之前的决定，仅仅因为减少精神努力而拒绝假释)”可知，随着法官做出的决定增多，他们因为决策疲劳而倾向于维持之前的决定，这可能导致不公平的假释结果。由此可推知，关于假释听证会的研究揭示了决策疲劳可能导致不公平的结果。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Similarly, too many choices, such as when looking through streaming platforms or online stores, can leave individuals feeling confused, leading them to abandon the process entirely or settle for a less satisfying option. (同样，太多的选择，比如在浏览流媒体平台或网上商店时，会让个人感到困惑，导致他们完全放弃这个过程或选择一个不太满意的选项)”可知，作者提到网上购物时太多的选择会让人困惑。由此可推知，作者建议网上购物的读者限制选择的数量，以避免决策疲劳。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Prioritizing important decisions earlier in the day or setting up routines to minimize unnecessary choices are strategies to preserve mental energy. (在一天中较早地优先处理重要决策或制定常规以最小化不必要的选择，是保存精神能量的策略)”可知，制定常规的目的是为了保存精神能量，从而提高决策质量。故选B项。 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。 Green roofs have been around for thousands of years, long before modern housing was developed. From the simple grass-covered roofs above caves to the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon, they remained an important part of architecture. ____16____ They bring enormous environmental benefits and offer solutions to some pressing ecological challenges of our time. In the design of a green roof, there are key factors that count. The first step is to install (安装) a protective layer over the roof to prevent water damage. ____17____ It’s essential to choose high-quality materials, as once the green roof is completed and the building is in use, replacing the protective layer becomes difficult and expensive. Next, a drainage (排水) layer, which is often made of pebbles or a special mat, is placed on top. It helps water flow off the roof instead of pooling on it. Then, a growing medium, like soil or other similar materials, is spread over the drainage layer. ____18____ Now it’s time to choose plants for the roof. Some plants have shallow root systems and don’t need much water. ____19____ Sedum and chives are good examples of such plants. They are not only water-efficient but tough and long-lasting. ____20____ It’s important to think about your budget. On average, it costs $25 to $30 per square foot to install a green roof. This doesn’t include the cost of installing or repairing the normal roof underneath. And there is labour cost to cover. If a traditional roof costs $30 per square foot, installing a green roof could easily double that expense. A. This is where the plants will grow. B. However, green roofs come at a high cost. C. Today, green roofs are gaining more attention. D. These features make them ideal for green roofs. E. As a result, they led to the popularity of green roofs. F. Green roof materials can range from grass to solar panels. G. The layer also stops plant roots growing into the roof structure. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. A 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了绿色屋顶给现代生活带来的好处及它的建造过程。 【16题详解】 根据下文“They bring enormous environmental benefits and offer solutions to some pressing ecological challenges of our time. (它们带来了巨大的环境效益，并为我们这个时代一些紧迫的生态挑战提供了解决方案。)”可知，绿色屋顶给现代生活带来的好处，C项“如今，绿色屋顶越来越受到人们的关注。”能够引起下文，介绍人们关注绿色屋顶的原因，因为它们来了巨大的环境效益。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The first step is to install (安装) a protective layer over the roof to prevent water damage. (第一步是在屋顶上安装保护层，以防止水损坏。)”可知，上文告诉我们绿色屋顶的第一步是在屋顶上安装保护层，以防止水损坏，G项“该层还可以阻止植物根系生长到屋顶结构中。”能够承接上文，介绍了安装保护层的另一个原因，可以阻止植物根系生长到屋顶结构中。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Then, a growing medium, like soil or other similar materials, is spread over the drainage layer. (然后，将土壤或其他类似材料等生长介质铺在排水层上。)”可知，上文告诉我们要在排水层上铺生长介质，A项“这是植物生长的地方。”能够承接上文，土壤或其他类似材料等生长介质是植物生长的地方。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Now it’s time to choose plants for the roof. Some plants have shallow root systems and don’t need much water. (现在是时候为屋顶选择植物了。有些植物根系较浅，不需要太多的水。)”可知，上文告诉我们为屋顶选择植物时，可以选择根系较浅，不需要太多的水的植物，D项“这些特性使其成为绿色屋顶的理想选择。”能够承接上文，说明根系较浅，不需要太多的水的植物是绿色屋顶的理想选择。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据下文“t’s important to think about your budget. On average, it costs $25 to $30 per square foot to install a green roof. (考虑一下你的预算很重要。平均而言，安装绿色屋顶的成本为每平方英尺25至30美元。)”可知，安装绿色屋顶价格不菲，B项“然而，绿色屋顶的成本很高。”能够引起下文，下文具体介绍了绿色屋顶的高成本。故选B。 第三部分：语言运用（共三节，满分30分） 第一节：（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Adam Wolfers believes that his son’s autism (自闭症) has a positive impact on his hobby of photography.10-year-old Morgan has always possessed a ___21___ eye for capturing the world around him through his camera.

My friend Allan and I decided to play catch in my yard. We were having fun throwing the ball back and forth. “Run! Nice catch!” It had been days since we enjoyed ourselves. Then, I threw the ball too hard and Allan missed his catch. The ball flew like lightning, crossed the yard and hit my neighbor’s window. We heard the big sound. Crash! Smash! The window broke into many pieces. Allan turned pale, and a look of panic crossed his face. He froze, too scared to move an inch. Without a second thought, I grabbed his hand, whispering, “Come with me!” We ran into my backyard and hid behind a stack of hay. It seemed to be a place of safety. However, my heart was still pounding hard, as if it were about to pop. Mr. Jones, the neighbour, who was a seventy-year-old man, lived alone. Though he was poor, he was well loved in the neighborhood for he always helped those in need. Obviously, he heard the big sound, too. He came out of his house, with a ball in his hands. It was exactly our ball! Did he recognize who the ball belonged to? With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply. In the meantime, Mr. Jones looked around, trying to see who threw the ball. Of course, no one was outside. He gazed the window for a while, and then the ball. Finally, he went back into his house. A few days later, I saw that Mr. Jones had repaired the broken glass. He was sitting outside. When he saw me, he waved at me. I felt ashamed as I waved back at him. I knew what I should do, but I was afraid to do it. Later, my mom and I were talking and she told me about the broken window. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mr. Jones looked at me after I explained what had happened. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Later, my mom and I were talking and she told me about the broken window. “Poor Mr. Jones,” she sighed, “He’s such a nice guy. I can’t believe anyone would break his window and not stay around to apologize.” Hearing what my mom said, I pulled the hem of my clothes tightly, the blood rushing to my face. Catching sight of the embarrassment written in my burning face, she seemed to know everything. “Yes, it’s me.” I confessed that I broke the window by accident, promising that I would go right over now and own up to my mistake. Then I plucked up the courage to knock on Mr. Jones’ door and decided to tell him what I had done. Mr. Jones looked at me after I explained what had happened. He was not angry at all. On the contrary, a gentle smile danced around the corners of his mouth. Relieved but still ashamed. I apologized to him with sincerity and asked how much it cost to repair the window. I told him that I would save my money and pay back every penny of it. Patting me on the shoulder, Mr. Jones replied, “It’s not the money that matters.” He continued, “I was really hurt that someone would do that to me without stopping to apologize. Now that you have come and explained the accident, I feel good again.” What Mr. Jones spoke out had a lasting influence on me, reminding me to be honest and fix every mistake I made. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者玩球时意外打破了邻居琼斯先生家的窗户，作者因为害怕逃走了。事后妈妈的话让作者感到后悔，于是承认是自己打破了窗户，获得了邻居琼斯先生的原谅。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“后来，我妈妈和我聊天，她告诉了我窗户被打破的事”可知，第一段可描写作者感到惭愧和尴尬，承认了是自己打破的窗户。 ②由第二段首句内容“我解释了发生的事情后，琼斯先生看着我”可知，第二段可描写作者跟琼斯先生坦白，获得了原谅。 2.续写线索：聊天——尴尬——认错——道歉——获得原谅 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①道歉：apologize /make an apology ②承认：confess/ acknowledge ③偿还：pay back /repay 情绪类 ①尴尬：embarrassment / awkwardness ②生气的：angry /annoyed 【点睛】[高分句型1] Hearing what my mom said, I pulled the hem of my clothes tightly, the blood rushing to my face.

These are some of the world’s most beautiful deserts that you can see while traveling. Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt desert and a truly mystical place to visit. Tens of thousands of years ago, this region was part of a prehistoric lake. However, these lakes dried up and left behind two new smaller lakes and these expansive salt flats. An estimated 10 billion tons of salt can be found in this desert. Painted Desert, Arizona, USA The Painted Desert of Arizona got its name from the vibrant red, orange, blue, and purple colors painted across the landscape. Less than 10 inches of rain fall here each year, and the colors were created by minerals in the clay and sandstone rock. There are lots of great trails to hike through this desert, especially at sunset when the colors are on display. Pinnacles Desert, Australia You’ll need to head to the Nambung National Park in Western Australia to experience the Pinnacles Desert for yourself. This desert gets its name from the beautiful spires (尖顶) made of rock that rise from the sand dunes (沙丘). The rock formations here have been weathered so much over time to undeniably stand out among the gentle yellow sand dunes. Share this story Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest 1. What do the first two deserts have in common? A. Rich minerals. B. Diverse colors. C. Expansive flats. D. Countless trails. 2 Why does Pinnacles Desert get its name? A. For its sand dunes. B. For its special shape. C. For its long history. D. For its unusual weather. 3 Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A travel brochure. B. A geography textbook. C. A fashion magazine. D. A trip discovery platform. B “The movie American Sniper is on,” I said to my husband as we settled into bed. We decided to watch, figuring it would take our minds off my husband’s situation at work. He had been working with the same organization for close to twenty-three years, and the management, he suspected, was preparing to let him go. The signs were pretty clear and I felt his pain. I wondered if American Sniper was the wrong movie to watch and considered changing the channel. Maybe something lighter was in order? A family comedy with laughter would have been more uplifting (令人开心的) for my husband. “It wouldn’t bother me so much if I just felt appreciated,” he said. We turned the volume down as my son was in the next room studying for the final-term examinations. “You know this movie is based on a true story,” I said, half thinking about my husband’s situation and half watching the movie. “Yes,” he replied. “It’s based on Chris Kyle’s book.” I thought about all the young men who had lost their lives in Iraq. “Incredibly, some of those boys were only a couple of years older than James,” I said, referring to our son. As I watched the movie, I began to realize how negligible our problems really were. “You know, other couples are in bed tonight wondering if their sons are safe on a battlefield (战场); and here we are with our son perfectly safe in the next room.” Over the next hour, the mood in our bedroom changed from depression to gratitude. How blessed we were! Our son was healthy and safe in the next room. We had a roof over our heads and could walk outside without worrying whether there would be bullets flying through the air! As for my husband’s job, he could do something else — something that he would have passion for. 4. What do we know about the author’s husband? A. He was out of work. B. He liked family comedies. C. He got upset because of work. D. He didn’t want to watch American Sniper. 5. What is the movie probably about? A. The friendship among some young men. B. Some boys losing lives in an accident. C. A story about the author’s son. D. The war that happened in Iraq. 6. What does the underlined word “negligible” in the last but one paragraph mean? A. Unfortunate. B. Unforgettable. C. Unimportant. D. Unbelievable. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Be grateful for what you have B. Get some power from a movie C. You can always control your life D. Stay strong in the face of difficulty C Despite more than a month of efforts to rescue Tenora, a young green sea turtle, pollution-related issues made it difficult to save her. Tenora was finally put to death to reduce her suffering. Tenora was brought in by Rainbow Reef Dive Center staff and customers on October 3, 2020.The rescue team was led by PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors)Instructor Josh Phillips who had made it his “personal mission” to help Tenora after seeing her with a softball-sized tumor (肿瘤) out on the reefs (暗礁). He connected with the Turtle Hospital, a nonprofit in the Florida Keys for permission and guidance about how to rescue her. After over a month of searching and failed attempts, Phillips was finally able to rescue her on a rainy Saturday. Shelby Ferguson of the Turtle Hospital met the boat at the dock to bring Tenora in for evaluation and care. Ferguson explained that green see turtles are the species most easily affected by the virus that causes fibropapilloma (FP) tumors like the one Tenora had. Generally, she said, the more polluted the water, the more turtles present with FP tumors. In Hawaii, nitrogen ( 氯) runoff from pineapple farms increases the disease incidence in green sea turtles near the islands, explained Bette Zirkelbach, manager at the Turtle Hospital. Scientists there first made the link between poor water quality and increased FP tumors in green sea turtles. The Turtle Hospital is building on this knowledge by leading an in-water scientific study on sea turtle health in the Florida Keys for the next three years, she added. While external masses can be surgically removed, there is currently no treatment for internal FP tumors in sea turtles, so animals like Tenora are humanely put to death to reduce their suffering, Zirkelbach said. Phillips reflected on Tenora’s loss, saying, “I think it is terrible to consider that this is mostly caused by humans.” He urged everyone, “Wake up. Do better. We’re all in this together, and if we don’t try to change how we live our lives, things aren’t going to get any better. This is our chance lo do something today for the next generation.” 8. How did Phillip react while seeing Tenora for the first time? A. He almost ignored her condition. B. He brought her to the Turtle Hospital. C. He immediately knew she needed help. D. He decided to start a nonprofit for the species. 9. What does Ferguson’s explanation tell us about green sea turtles? A. They have already become endangered. B. They are easily threatened by polluted water. C. It is still unclear how they get FP tumors. D. It is rare to see they have internal FP tumors. 10. Why does the author mention Phillips’ words in the last paragraph? A. To draw attention to green sea turtles. B. To describe ways of protecting the earth. C. To call for action to help the environment. D. To educate the next generation in responsibility. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. A Diver Helps Save a Green Sea Turtle B. Pollution Worldwide Is Putting Species in Danger C. Rescue Green Sea Turtle Is Put to Death Due to Tumor D. Researchers Are Looking for Ways to Rescue Green Sea Turtles D Decision fatigue (决策疲劳) is a psychological phenomenon where the quality of decisions declines after a long session of decision-making. It is caused by the limited mental energy we have for making choices each day. While many of us believe we are logical beings capable of weighing every option carefully, decision fatigue shows how our mental resources can be used up over time. One of the key studies on this phenomenon was conducted in the context of parole hearings (假释听证会). Researchers found that judges were more likely to approve of parole early in the day or after a meal break. As the day progressed and the judges made more decisions, they were increasingly likely to maintain their previous decisions, denying parole simply because it required less mental effort. Decision fatigue not only affects major life choices but also everyday decisions. For instance, people often report struggling to decide what to eat for dinner after a long day. Similarly, too many choices, such as when looking through streaming platforms or online stores, can leave individuals feeling confused, leading them to abandon the process entirely or settle for a less satisfying option. To overcome decision fatigue, some well-known figures have adopted strategies to simplify their daily routines. For example, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is famous for wearing the same style of gray T-shirts to minimize unnecessary choices. Similarly, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Albert Einstein was known for owing multiple identical suits to avoid wasting energy on deciding what to wear each day. In a different context, author Haruki Murakami has shared that he maintains a strict daily routine, including specific writing hours and exercise, to free up mental capacity for his creative work. Understanding decision fatigue can help us structure our lives more effectively. Prioritizing important decisions earlier in the day or setting up routines to minimize unnecessary choices are strategies to preserve mental energy. By managing our mental resources wisely, we can make sound decisions and reduce the stress associated with overwhelming choices 12. What leads to decision fatigue according to the text? A. The lack of time to make decisions. B. The difficulty of making logical choices. C. The stress from making important decisions. D. The limited mental energy for decision-making. 13. What does the study on parole hearings reveal? A. Judges are much stricter after long breaks. B. Decision fatigue can lead to unfair outcomes. C. Fatigue causes judges to avoid complicated cases. D. External factors have no impact on decision-making. 14. What does the author suggest readers shopping online do? A. Make quick decisions. B. Compare different products. C. Limit the number of choices. D. Choose the most popular products. 15. What is the purpose of adopting routines? A. To reduce the stress of daily work. B. To increase decision-making quality. C. To enhance overall life satisfaction. D. To create more decision-making chances 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。 Green roofs have been around for thousands of years, long before modern housing was developed.

The first step is to install (安装) a protective layer over the roof to prevent water damage. ____17____ It’s essential to choose high-quality materials, as once the green roof is completed and the building is in use, replacing the protective layer becomes difficult and expensive. Next, a drainage (排水) layer, which is often made of pebbles or a special mat, is placed on top. It helps water flow off the roof instead of pooling on it. Then, a growing medium, like soil or other similar materials, is spread over the drainage layer. ____18____ Now it’s time to choose plants for the roof. Some plants have shallow root systems and don’t need much water. ____19____ Sedum and chives are good examples of such plants. They are not only water-efficient but tough and long-lasting. ____20____ It’s important to think about your budget. On average, it costs $25 to $30 per square foot to install a green roof. This doesn’t include the cost of installing or repairing the normal roof underneath. And there is labour cost to cover. If a traditional roof costs $30 per square foot, installing a green roof could easily double that expense. A. This is where the plants will grow. B. However, green roofs come at a high cost. C. Today, green roofs are gaining more attention. D. These features make them ideal for green roofs. E. As a result, they led to the popularity of green roofs. F. Green roof materials can range from grass to solar panels. G. The layer also stops plant roots growing into the roof structure. 第三部分：语言运用（共三节，满分30分） 第一节：（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Adam Wolfers believes that his son’s autism (自闭症) has a positive impact on his hobby of photography.10-year-old Morgan has always possessed a ___21___ eye for capturing the world around him through his camera.

My friend Allan and I decided to play catch in my yard. We were having fun throwing the ball back and forth. “Run! Nice catch!” It had been days since we enjoyed ourselves. Then, I threw the ball too hard and Allan missed his catch. The ball flew like lightning, crossed the yard and hit my neighbor’s window. We heard the big sound. Crash! Smash! The window broke into many pieces. Allan turned pale, and a look of panic crossed his face. He froze, too scared to move an inch. Without a second thought, I grabbed his hand, whispering, “Come with me!” We ran into my backyard and hid behind a stack of hay. It seemed to be a place of safety. However, my heart was still pounding hard, as if it were about to pop. Mr. Jones, the neighbour, who was a seventy-year-old man, lived alone. Though he was poor, he was well loved in the neighborhood for he always helped those in need. Obviously, he heard the big sound, too. He came out of his house, with a ball in his hands. It was exactly our ball! Did he recognize who the ball belonged to? With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply. In the meantime, Mr. Jones looked around, trying to see who threw the ball. Of course, no one was outside. He gazed the window for a while, and then the ball. Finally, he went back into his house. A few days later, I saw that Mr. Jones had repaired the broken glass. He was sitting outside. When he saw me, he waved at me. I felt ashamed as I waved back at him. I knew what I should do, but I was afraid to do it. Later, my mom and I were talking and she told me about the broken window. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mr. Jones looked at me after I explained what had happened. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
