M：A program on CNN.It's about homeless children in India. Text 2 M：Did anyone call while I was out? W：Only your wife.She wants you to pick up some milk on your way home. M：OK，thanks，Sarah.I'm headed to my next meeting now. Text 3 M：Can you lend me 30 yuan? W：I had 50 yuan，but I have just spent 30 yuan. Text 4 M：Are you ready yet？You've been spending a long time on your math homework. W：I'm having trouble with this problem.I don't know what a hundred times a thousand is. Text 5 M：We're at the Holiday Inn now.How do we get to the airport? W：We have buses leaving for the airport from the downtown area every 20 minutes.The bus stops at the Holiday Inn as well.Be sure to get on the bus before 7：30. 第二节 Text 6 W：Why do you only eat with your right hand? M：Oh，I learned to do that when I was travelling.In the African country of Ethiopia，that's their custom.It's considered very bad manners to eat with your left hand. W：Why is that? M：They consider it dirty，I think. W：What if you're eating a sandwich？I can never eat a sandwich with only one hand. M：Well，they make their food so that they only need one hand to eat it with，mainly meats and vegetables in sauce.And they make a very different kind of bread there.Instead of spoons and forks，Ethiopians use the bread to get their food. Text 7 M：I have bad news. W：What happened？You look sad…Is your mother sick? M：No…The rent is going up again. W：That's too bad.How much this time? M：Too much for us to afford.You know I'm making less money now. W：I know.And I haven't been able to work as much.Well.Where are we going to move now? M：I don't know.Rents are very expensive here.But I have an idea… W：What is it? M：You're not going to like this.But I think we should move in with my mother. W：Um! M：Listen，we wouldn't have to pay as much rent，maybe only half of what we pay now.She has two free bedrooms，so we would have enough space.And my mother is gone for most of the day.She goes to dinners，concerts and movies with friends on the weekends.She's really active，so she isn't home much. Text 8 W：What are you doing with these books? M：Giving them away. W：Why？I thought you loved them. M：I do，but I can't take them all with me.My apartment in Chicago will be smaller than this place. W：Are you keeping any? M：Yeah，I will ship one box to my new apartment.But the ones by the door，I'm giving away.You should see if you want any of them. W：OK.Maybe I'll take a few…Oh，The Lord of the Rings.I've always wanted to read this. M：Take it.It's a good book to read.I'd also recommend Harry Potter to you. W：No, thanks.I've already read it.How about this book by Ernest Hemingway，The Old Man and the Sea? Is it any good? M：Yeah.Here，you should take The Sun also Rises，too.It's his most famous one. W：OK, I will take both.But I don't need any more.I have too many unread books already. Text 9 M：Do you like to travel，Suzy? W：Oh，definitely.I travel every chance I get. M：What do you mean？We're full-time students.The only time we really get to travel is during the summer. W：Well，I also try to go on a trip during the winter break，and again during spring break.I also take lots of smaller trips whenever we have a three-day weekend. M：How do you manage to find time to travel so much？Don't you have to spend time with your family? W：Yeah, and we do that in different places! They love to travel, too.We never spend a family vacation in the same place twice! M：Wow！Doesn't that get a little bit expensive，though? W：Well，it's certainly not cheap.But both my parents work hard，and they save up all their money to go places with us.I also try to save all the money I get from my part-time job，so I can go on my own little trips. M：Don't you find it difficult to keep up with your schoolwork? W：Not at all.I go to the library every day，and I never waste my time going to parties.If I use my time wisely when I'm in school，I can have more fun outside school. Text 10 Hello.Welcome to Green Park Zoo.It was opened in 1958.And it covers an area of 110 hectares.Over 120 different types of animals are kept at present in the zoo.This number does not include the different types of fish，birds and snakes which are also kept here. This zoo has one of the largest collections of deer in the world.There are 24 different types here at present.You will notice that there are no cages in this zoo.The animals are free to run around in separate groups in different fields. Please do not feed any of the animals.Here are some reasons for this.First，all the animals have enough to eat.Some visitors have in the past fed the animals with kinds of food which is not suitable.This sometimes used to cause illness and even death to the animals.Second，some of the animals have very sharp teeth.It is not safe to get close to them. Please note that the gates close at 5：00 p．m.on weekdays and an hour later on weekends.We hope you will make your visit more enjoyable and interesting. 第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In a time when climate change becomes a more pressing issue, we sometimes may fail to realize that individual contributions have a huge effect on the big problem.Fortunately, there are some apps which can help the environment with the click of a button.

On a recent afternoon, Barr sat at his computer, skimming through decades of numbers.In the numbers, he pointed out patterns.Nearly half the record low temperatures came in his first decade here, and more than half the record highs occurred in the past one.“Back in the 70s, there were winters when we had over 100 days in a row when it didn't get above freezing.Last winter, the most was nine，” Barr worried.“There's a trend there.I really think we're in a load of trouble.And we don't have much time for this.” After filling 10 notebooks with his records, Barr now organizes them in Excel and publishes them on his website.Researchers regularly ask him for data, he said, and he was always pleased to share.Barr is witnessing snow fall here for the 50th year straight.“I just want to keep it going.It is interesting—it is, I think.And it's helpful.” 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自然/自然环境。本文为专题报道。老人Billy Barr常年测量对比并分析山中的气温和雪中水分的含量数据，发现零度以上的日子越来越多。 24．According to Barr, why should water percentage in snow be paid attention to? A．It increased by 4 percent this year. B．It varies from 6 percent to 10 percent. C．It is changeable like weather. D．It has been increasingly high for years. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段可知，关注雪中的水分百分比是因为近年以来它的数值越来越高，故选D项。 25．What made Barr choose to stay in mountains? A．The sense of relaxation. B．The boredom from city life. C．The passion for comfort. D．The commitment to scientific ambition. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段第三句可知，Barr选择留在山里是因为放松的感觉，故选A项。 26．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A．There is no hurry at all for people to address this issue. B．More days above freezing have come in the last decade. C．People are prepared to face temperature trouble nowadays. D．100 days of continuous low temperature is common now. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段第三、四句可推知，在过去的十年里，零度以上的日子越来越多，故选B项。 27．Which words best describe Billy Barr? A．Crazy and ambitious. B．Generous and devoted. C．Lonely and outdated. D．Patient and optimistic. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据末段后三句可推知，Billy Barr慷慨且具有奉献精神，故选B项。 Rain is vital to life on Earth.However, rain isn't just made of water anymore—it's partly made of plastic. Millions of tiny pieces of plastic, called microplastics, are wandering around Earth's atmosphere and traveling across entire continents, according to a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on April 12.Another study, published in the journal Science in June 2020, has revealed that every year more than 1,000 tons of the particles(颗粒)—equivalent to over 120 million plastic bottles—fall in rain. Microplastics are plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in diameter(直径) and come from a number of sources.Plastic bags and bottles released into the environment break down into smaller and smaller bits.Some microplastics are manufactured deliberately to provide abrasion(研磨) in a host of products, such as toothpaste and cleansers, according to the Daily Mail.Another major source is your washing machine. When you wash synthetic(合成的) clothing, tiny microfibers get flushed(冲掉) away with the wastewater.Even though the water is treated by a wastewater plant, the microplastics remain, and they are released into the sea, according to American magazine Wired. Plastic rain may remind people of acid rain, but the former is far more widespread and harder to deal with.The tiny particles, too small to be seen with the naked eye, are collected by the wind from the ground.They are so light that they stay in the air to be blown around the globe.As they climb into the atmosphere, they are thought to act as nuclei(核心) around which water vapor(水蒸气) condenses(凝结) to form clouds.Some of the dust falls back to land in dry conditions, while the rest comes down as rain, according to the Daily Mail. Microplastics have been found everywhere you can imagine.From fish and frogs to mice and mosquitoes, their bodies have been found, on average, to contain 40 pieces of microplastic, reported the Daily Mail.As the top of the food chain, humans are exposed to microplastics, too.“We live on a ball inside a bubble，” microplastic researcher Steve Allen at University of Strathclyde, Scotland, told Wired.“There are no borders, there are no edges.It(plastic rain) rains on the land and then gets blown back up into the air again, to move somewhere else.There's no stopping once it's out.” 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自然/环境保护。本文为说明文，分析了微塑料的来源和对生物造成的影响。 28．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．How microplastics should be handled. B．How microplastics are used widely. C．How microplastics pollute water. D．How microplastics come into being. 答案　D 解析　段落大意题。根据第三段首句和下文提到的三种微塑料来源可推知，本段主要讲微塑料是怎么形成的，故选D项。 29．What do we know about microplastics? A．They are light and can be easily dealt with. B．They result in both acid rain and plastic rain. C．They have a diameter of at least 5 millimeters. D．They have nearly affected the whole food chain. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第五段前三句可知，微塑料存在于整个生物食物链中，故选D项。 30．What do Steve Allen's words mean in the last paragraph? A．No place is safe from microplastic pollution. B．The atmosphere possesses the capacity to self-cleanse. C．Countries should work together to fight plastic pollution. D．It is important to remove microplastics somewhere else. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据第五段Steve Allen的话可推知，他认为微塑料造成的污染无法逃避，没有安全的地方，故选A项。 31．What's the main purpose of the article? A．To compare acid rain and plastic rain. B．To warn people of the dangers of microplastics. C．To call on people to reduce using plastic products. D．To introduce the sources and effects of microplastics. 答案　D 解析　写作意图题。本文用雨引出微塑料无处不在这一话题，第三段分析了微塑料的三个来源，第四、五段介绍它对生物的影响。由此推知，本文的主要目的是介绍微塑料的来源和影响，故选D项。 The Great Barrier Reef in Queensland has suffered several mass bleaching events due to the impacts of climate change.The Australian government turned down a proposal for a new open-cut coal mine near the Great Barrier Reef, considering environmental laws and the risk of “irreversible damage”. It was the first time the government had used its powers under environmental laws to reject a mine. In turning down the project, Tanya Plibersek, the minister for the environment and water, cited significant potential environmental dangers to the reef, which is already heavily threatened by climate change. “The risk of pollution is real and the damage to the reef, once done, will never be repaired.” The project would have had unacceptable impacts on freshwater in the area and potentially on fragile seagrass meadows，” Plibersek said in a video posted on social media.She said that during the public consultation period, her department had received 9,000 public comments about the mine in just 10 business days. The government has been under pressure from UNESCO to better protect the reef and in 2022, it pledged one billion Australian dollars for efforts to protect the fragile ecosystem, including climate adaptation measures and water quality programs.Last year, the Great Barrier Reef, which stretches for more than 2,300 kilometers, experienced its sixth mass bleaching event, due to warming waters caused by climate change. The government, elected in 2022, came to power promising stronger action on the climate in a country still heavily depending on fossil fuels.But its climate policies are rated “insufficient” by Climate Action Tracker, which found Australia is not on course to meet targets to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.The government has rejected calls from the country's Green Party to turn down all new fossil fuel projects. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自然/自然生态。本文为说明文，讲述了大堡礁正面临大规模白化事件。 32．Which of the following can replace “irreversible” in Paragraph 1? A．Permanent. B．Gradual. C．Severe. D．Significant. 答案　A 解析　词句猜测题。根据第二段第二句可知，污染一旦造成，就永远无法修复。由此推知，画线词意为“永久的”，故选A项。 33．Which statement would Plibersek probably agree with? A．The reef is in good condition now. B．9,000 people made good comments on the mining project. C．The mining project has drawn the attention of the public. D．The mining project has had bad effects on freshwater in the area. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段第三句可知，Plibersek认为采矿项目对该地区的淡水产生不良影响，故选D项。 34．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Fossil fuels are not in demand in Australia. B．The government has made effective climate policies. C．The government failed to carry out its previous promises. D．The Green Party reached an agreement with the government. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段可推知，政府未能履行其先前的承诺，故选C项。 35．What's the main idea of the passage? A．The Great Barrier Reef is faced with mass bleaching events. B．Australia is on the way to effectively protecting the Great Barrier Reef. C．The Great Barrier Reef calls for help due to climate change. D．Australia says “No” to a mine near the Great Barrier Reef. 答案　A 解析　主旨大意题。根据第一段首句可知，本文主旨是大堡礁正面临大规模白化事件，故选A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。 Nowadays many people turn to the latest “green” products which are expensive to save the planet.However, when done in the proper spirit of resource sustainability, an eco-friendly lifestyle should actually be cheaper over the long run.　36　 Borrow or rent While the society we live in promotes the idea of owning lots of stuff, you can challenge this by saying no to complete ownership.　37　 Shop second-hand There are plenty of second-hand items in both online and offline shops looking for a home and many of these items cost significantly less than brand new items.Some of these items are still quite new and may never have been used or worn! Bring your own drink bottle Whether you're going to school, work, heading to the gym or traveling, make sure you bring your own drink bottle.　38　 By taking your reusable and refillable bottle, you're not only helping to save on single-use plastic bottles or glass bottles, but also save some dollars. Avoid private transport where possible 　39　 More affordable and eco-friendlier alternatives to private transport include public transport, ridesharing, walking and cycling.And if more people chose these options, it would lead to fewer traffic jams and reduced air pollution. Work out at home Rather than jumping in your car and consuming fossil fuels just to go to the gym, or paying hundreds of dollars each year for membership, set up a space at home where you can work out.　40　 A．Grow your own organic fruit and vegetables. B．The biggest purchase people make besides a house is a private car. C．Research shows that the world consumes a million bottles a minute. D．The following are some eco-friendly habits that will save you money. E．Keep the environmental impact of your fitness low and save money too. F．Borrowing or renting items results in the same outcome—use without the need to own. G．Thankfully, there are reusable options available for these items so it's easy to make the switch. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自然/环境保护。本文为说明文，介绍了一些生活中的环保小习惯。 36.答案　D 解析　顺承关系。D项中的eco-friendly在上文中有原词复现，save you money与上文中的cheaper相呼应，故选D项。 37. 答案　F 解析　　承接关系。由小标题Borrow or rent可知，该段主要介绍借和租的选择，上文鼓励大家放弃对物品的绝对所有权，F项说借与租也能产生同样的结果，符合此处语境。且F项中的Borrowing or renting与小标题构成原词复现，F项中的use without the need to own与上文中的saying no to complete ownership相呼应，故选F项。 38.答案　C 解析　因果关系。研究表明每分钟全世界要消耗一百万个瓶子，因此作者呼吁大家随身携带可循环利用的水瓶以减少一次性瓶子的用量。C项中的bottles与下文中的 plastic bottles or glass bottles构成词汇复现，故选C项。 39.答案　B 解析　总分关系。根据下文中的More affordable and eco-friendlier alternatives to private transport可知，B项符合此处语境，且B项中的biggest purchase与下文中的More affordable相呼应，故选B项。 40. 答案　E 解析　　承接关系。根据上文可知，该段主要提倡大家在家锻炼，减少燃油消耗并且节约资金。E项符合此处语境，且E项中的Keep the environmental impact of your fitness low与上文中的consuming fossil fuels相呼应，save money与上文中的paying hundreds of dollars相呼应，故选E项。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A meadow in bloom (鲜花盛开的草甸) cannot be more appealing for British.The swinging wild flowers at their peak show essence(精髓) of the season and are perfect for recording with your video camera.But that is a thing of the past. Motorways, new towns, factories—Britain has　41　 much damage to its natural scenery, and every year more land of the countryside is　42　 to tall buildings.While no wildlife habitat has escaped the　43　 of the developer's bulldozer(推土机), none has　44　 a greater impact than the meadow.Around 95% of Britain's meadows have　45　 in the past 70 years.

On this particular afternoon, the three of us had fun in the pond.As evening approached, we finished swimming.Jim and Syed were unwillingly making their way towards the place where they had left their clothes.I stayed back and was bathing in the water when I suddenly became aware of ripples(涟漪) forming on the surface of the water.I raised my head and looked at the ripples.My eyes caught a motion in the water.A log, I thought.Then I saw it—its scary nose and its two mean eyes.“Jim…” I cried.Then I screamed with all my might. Jim turned his head in my direction and immediately recognized the danger.“Get out of the water, Jeff.Hurry! It's just behind you.” I waded(蹚水) clumsily(笨拙地) in the water.With great effort, I reached the edge of the pond.I looked over my shoulder.Moving quickly towards me was a huge alligator.I froze.Then suddenly I felt a great pain in my leg.Meanwhile, Jim and Syed screamed and started throwing stones at the alligator and managed to distract it.The alligator went for them now.As it opened its jaws, I could see its sharp teeth.I tried to move but a pain shot through me.I was in a pool of blood.Jim and Syed were scared. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 One possible version： I was about to give up struggling when I thought of the two hunters who passed by just a moment ago.I shouted to Jim and Syed, “Run to the hunters quickly.They can help me.” Waking from the dream, Jim rushed away like an arrow.Syed continued to throw stones at the alligator and I continued to fight against it.Luckily, in a few minutes, Jim and the two hunters arrived.One of the hunter fired a shot in the air.It had the desired effect.The alligator wound its way away in the water.Then, I passed out. When I woke up, I found myself in a totally unfamiliar environment, a hospital.Mom stood over me.Seeing her, tears flooded down.Later I learned from my mother that I was rushed to the hospital by the kind hunters.My eyes began to water again.I made an apology to Mom.She ran her fingers on my face and wiped my tears.Mom reminded me of how fortunate I was to have escaped from the jaws of the alligator.It was a narrow escape. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
