My husband Todd and I first started going on full moon walks for ourselves, as we needed these little doses of moonlight to stay happy, though sometimes we had to hike through the forest to find a perfect spot.But after we became parents, we did this for our children.We wanted to show Sierra and Bryce that it was not necessary to travel far from home to have an adventure and learn something new, and that there was much magic in the natural world, available to all. Once we arrived at our location, Sierra and I stood holding hands, waiting to cheer the full moon in its rising—a thin sliver of the appealing moon emerged above the ridge of the mountain afar.Soon, more of the moon came out until it turned into a brilliant orange sphere.Todd explained to Sierra and Bryce that the moon generates no light, but simply acts like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight back to us.“Does the moon's face change？” Bryce asked.I told him that the moon rotates (旋转) around the earth, but does not spin by itself, so the same side of the moon is always facing the earth.Sierra remarked that the moon looked larger and closer when it was rising.I explained that it is a visual illusion (错觉) because it is so close to the horizon that the moon magically tricks our eyes into comparing it with nearby objects, thus creating the impression of the increased size. Much of the knowledge that I shared with the kids was learned from my parents.During my childhood, they would take me on educational adventures out in the woods, and as I later found, so did their parents.So every time I go for a full moon walk with my beloved family, I thank those wise educators who came before me. To educate, sometimes all it takes is going outdoors and gazing up at the heavens. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者全家在满月下外出散步并且探讨有关月球知识的经历。 24．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Going on a hike through the forest. B．Taking a walk under the full moon. C．Watching magic shows every month. D．Traveling far from home for adventure. 答案：B 24 25 26 27 解析：词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“My husband Todd and I first started going on full moon walks for ourselves, as we needed these little doses of moonlight to stay happy, though sometimes we had to hike through the forest to find a perfect spot.But after we became parents, we did this for our children.”可推知，第二段中画线的“this”指的是在满月下散步。 24 25 26 27 25．What can we learn from their family outing? A．The kids were reluctant to participate. B．Todd mentioned the mirror to explain the sunlight. C．The kids exhibited a spirit of exploration about the moon. D．The author used a magic trick to explain the larger moon. 答案：C 24 25 26 27 解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Todd explained to Sierra and Bryce that the moon generates no light, but simply acts like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight back to us.‘Does the moon's face change？’ Bryce asked.”及“Sierra remarked that the moon looked larger and closer when it was rising.”可知，孩子们在这次外出活动中表现出对月球的探索精神。 24 25 26 27 26．Which of the following best describes the parents? A．Creative and faithful. B．Selfless and brave. C．Inspiring and generous. D．Insightful and patient. 答案：D 24 25 26 27 解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“We wanted to show Sierra and Bryce that it was not necessary to travel far from home to have an adventure and learn something new, and that there was much magic in the natural world, available to all.”可知，这对父母有比较深刻的见解，再根据文章第三段的内容可知，孩子提出问题时，作者总是耐心回答，故推断，这对父母是有深刻见解和耐心的。 24 25 26 27 27．What does the story convey to the readers? A．Life is what you make it. B．Every cloud has a silver lining. C．Nature is the best teacher. D．Where there is a will there is a way. 答案：C 24 25 26 27 解析：写作意图题。根据文章第二段中的“We wanted to show Sierra and Bryce that it was not necessary to travel far from home to have an adventure and learn something new, and that there was much magic in the natural world, available to all.”及文章最后一段“To educate, sometimes all it takes is going outdoors and gazing up at the heavens.”可知，作者想要表达“大自然是最好的老师”。 24 25 26 27 C Now an interesting effort is underway to study and protect the reefs (礁).Aran Mooney, a marine biologist, is part of a network of scientists who've set up underwater microphones to essentially listen in on marine life.   “It's just really striking what we can learn without actually visually observing，” says Mooney.“Just by listening—quiet listening—we can observe what the animals are doing out there in the ocean.” The scientists are racing to record these sounds at reefs threatened by climate change and pollution.The coral reef off the U．S.Virgin Islands recorded in 2013, when it was abundant, includes a wide range of sounds.Shrimp pop bubbles.Whales and fish call out.A year ago, the scientists recorded a reef in the same area that had been degraded by pollution.This time most of the sounds were gone. The animals have long departed—starting with the tiny larvae (幼虫) that are needed to build up new coral.But Mooney's team has started an experiment: Setting up underwater speakers to broadcast their recordings of the reef from 2013 in hopes of attracting back the coral larvae.Mooney explains that these tiny jellyfish－like animals get released from healthy reefs and then float for a while in the sea looking for a place to settle.A healthy habitat is super important for them because that's going to be their permanent location for the rest of their life.Once they attach themselves at the bottom, there's no chance of moving. To the scientists' delight, the effort seems to be working.Compared to a degraded reef where they're not playing sounds, the reef that they're acoustically (声学上) enhancing gets more coral settlement.Specifically, about two to three times as much settlement.It will take a few more years to see if, as the coral gets re－established, more fish return as well.But Mooney says the results so far suggest an encouraging possibility: All these recordings don't have to be one more reminder of a disappearing world.They could be a key to restoring it. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Aran Mooney和他的团队。他们利用水下麦克风来记录珊瑚礁受到气候变化和污染威胁的声音。人们发现通过倾听海洋生物的声音，可以观察到它们在海洋中的行为，这使得珊瑚礁的研究和保护更加有趣。 28．What is an effort made by Mooney's team? A．Observing marine animals visually. B．Recording the sound underwater. C．Racing with other research groups. D．Communicating with marine animals. 答案：B 28 29 30 31 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Aran Mooney, a marine biologist, is part of a network of scientists who've set up underwater microphones to essentially listen in on marine life.”可知，Mooney团队是通过设置水下麦克风来记录海洋生物的声音。 28 29 30 31 29．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The decline of the sounds. B．The diversity of the sounds. C．The disappearance of the reef. D．The causes of the sea pollution. 答案：A 28 29 30 31 解析：段落大意题。根据第三段中的“The coral reef off the U．S.Virgin Islands recorded in 2013, when it was abundant, includes a wide range of sounds.Shrimp pop bubbles.Whales and fish call out.A year ago, the scientists recorded a reef in the same area that had been degraded by pollution.This time most of the sounds were gone.”可知，第三段主要描述了2013年记录的美属维尔京群岛附近珊瑚礁丰富多样的声音因污染几乎消失了。 28 29 30 31 30．What do we know about the coral larvae? A．They can block out the broadcast. B．They are cautious about their habitats. C．They can change their locations easily. D．They are often accompanied by jellyfish. 答案：B 28 29 30 31 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“A healthy habitat is super important for them because that's going to be their permanent location for the rest of their life.Once they attach themselves at the bottom, there's no chance of moving.”可推知，珊瑚幼虫对它们的栖息地非常谨慎。 28 29 30 31 31．Which word could be used to describe the experiment's results according to Mooney? A．Worrying. B．Controversial. C．Precise. D．Promising. 答案：D 28 29 30 31 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But Mooney says the results so far suggest an encouraging possibility: All these recordings don't have to be one more reminder of a disappearing world.They could be a key to restoring it.”可知，与没有播放声音的退化珊瑚礁相比，他们通过声学增强的珊瑚礁获得了更多的珊瑚定居，因此实验结果是有希望的。 28 29 30 31 D Two thirds of the ice in the glaciers of the Alps is doomed! These glaciers will melt by the end of the century as global temperatures rise，according to a recent study. Scientists claim that half the ice held in some 4，000 Alpine glaciers will disappear by 2050 due to the global warming through the effect of past emissions.After that，even if carbon emissions drop to zero，two－thirds of the ice will still have melted by 2100.If emissions continue to rise at the current rate，the ice tongues will have all but disappeared from Alpine valleys by the end of the century.The most pessimistic prediction tells us that the Alps will be mostly ice－free by 2100.Only isolated ice patches would remain at high altitudes，representing five per cent，at most，of the ice volume seen today. The researchers warn that the loss of these glaciers will mean much less water is available for farming and hydroelectricity，especially during droughts.It would also affect nature and tourism. In February，a study found that a third of the huge ice fields in Asia's towering mountain chains were also under threat for the same reasons.This will lead to serious consequences for almost two billion people who live downstream.Glaciers along the Hindu Kush and Himalayan range are at higher，colder altitudes.If global carbon emissions are not cut，however，two－thirds of their ice could be gone by 2100. The latest research combined computer models with real－world data to forecast the fate of the glaciers.It used 2017 as its starting point.Unlike previous work，these models included how the glaciers move down the mountains.Applying this approach to other glaciated mountain chains could improve ice loss forecasts there. Cutting the emissions from fossil－fuel burning，deforestation and other pollution activities is the biggest factor in minimizing the melting of the ice.The future of these glaciers is indeed at risk，but there is still a possibility of limiting their disappearance. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了阿尔卑斯山和亚洲的冰川面临严重威胁。文中分析了其原因，同时也提出了解决问题的思路。 32．What does the underlined word “doomed” mean in paragraph 1? A．Polluted. B．Discovered. C．Endangered. D．Abandoned. 答案：C 32 33 34 35 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后“These glaciers will melt by the end of the century as global temperatures rise，according to a recent study.”可知，这些冰川将融化，即画线词所在句中的“阿尔卑斯山的冰川”正面临危险。由此可推知，画线词的意思为“有危险的”。故选C项。 32 33 34 35 33．What can we infer from paragraph 2? A．Emissions have much to do with the ice melting. B．The Alps is expected to lose all its ice by 2100. C．Ice loss will be avoided with emissions prevented. D．Large ice pieces will just exist at the mountain top. 答案：A 32 33 34 35 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段前三句可推知，碳排放与冰融化有很大关系。 32 33 34 35 34．Why are the Asia's ice fields mentioned in paragraph 4? A．To explain how glacier melting came about. B．To imply pollution is a worldwide problem. C．To show what consequences ice melting will cause. D．To indicate the Alps is not alone to face ice melting. 答案：D 32 33 34 35 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中“In February，a study found that a third of the huge ice fields in Asia's towering mountain chains were also under threat for the same reasons.”可推知，本段提到亚洲的冰原是为了表明阿尔卑斯山并不是唯一面临冰融化问题的地方。 32 33 34 35 35．What is the writer's attitude towards the future of glaciers? A．Objective. B．Optimistic. C．Critical. D．Doubtful. 答案：A 32 33 34 35 解析：观点态度题。通读全文，并结合文章最后一段内容可知，作者表达了对碳排放造成冰川融化的担忧，但同时也提出改变这一情况的可能，所以作者认为冰川的未来取决于人类行为，对冰川的未来持客观的态度。 32 33 34 35 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。 Benefits of Space Exploration On 12 April, 1961, an astronaut named Yuri Gagarin became the first human to journey to outer space. The age of space exploration started that day. 36 Well, the answer is simple. The benefits of space, including medical, technological and economic benefits, are more than the dangers of it. ·Medical benefits 37 Analyzing the effects of zero－gravity on blood circulation (循环) led to many discoveries on how to prevent some types of heart failure. And the experiments and measurements of bone strength and bone loss in astronauts have helped doctors better understand bone diseases. · 38 The space race has led to technological advancements in the shortest period of time, such as vacuum－sealed (真空密封的) food, fireproof materials and modern vacuum cleaners. 39 Yet, we even don't know that some NASA engineers originally developed them for the Apollo program that took humankind to the moon. As you can see, it is important for us to keep pushing the limits of space exploration. Who knows what kind of new technologies could be developed that will make our lives easier in the future? ·Creation of STEM jobs Space exploration is one of the industries that require the largest percentage of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) jobs. A lot of those jobs are positions for engineers, data analysts, doctors, biologists and so on. Although these positions require highly qualified people to fill them, they are some of the highest－paid jobs in the market. 40 A．Space tourism industry B．Development of new technologies C．Is exploring space a waste of time and money? D．Today, we still use them in our daily lives. E．So, the growing space industry creates high－paid jobs. F．The medical benefits of space exploration reach every area of the human body. G．Why should we spend so much time and money on exploring dangerous environments?

It's a great honor for me to make a speech about the protection of sea creatures.The past few years have witnessed a rapid reduction in the number of sea creatures, some even being in danger of extinction.There are various reasons behind this.To begin with, people are not aware of the importance of protecting the marine environment, so large quantities of pollutants have been poured into the ocean.Besides, some people hunt illegally for profit, which results in a decrease in the types of sea creatures.Therefore, it's high time we took some effective measures to protect them. That's all.Thanks for listening! 第二节(满分25分) 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。 Eric was a nine－year－old boy who lived with his single mother, Stacey and sister, Lily.They lived a hard life.Eric felt bad for their situation but worse for himself, especially in school. Eric's leather boots were worn out.They didn't protect his feet from the rain, and his socks became totally wet as water went through the holes in his shoes.Stacey attempted to fix the holes but it was no use.Eric still walked to school with that pair of broken shoes.How much he wished he could also have new comfortable and expensive shoes his classmates wore! One day, Eric returned from school and complained to Stacey, “It was raining today.Water has leaked into my shoes again.I hate my boots! Why can't you get me new ones？” Stacey was sad and helpless.“I spent our last savings on your sister's medicine.She's sick.Eric, you know that.You need to act like a responsible big brother！” she answered.Tears welled up in Eric's eyes.“I hate you！” he shouted.“You only care about Lily! You don't love me！” Then he cried and ran to his room. After preparing dinner, Stacey went to his room with his dinner plate.“I'm sorry, Eric，” she whispered to comfort him.“We're going through a very tough journey recently.But I'll get you new shoes in the future.” However, Eric refused to listen to her. The next day, when Eric went to class, he took his seat quietly and hid his feet under his chair, as usual.He was embarrassed to show his boots.As the math teacher Mrs.Fletcher entered the class, all the students greeted her.“Today, we have a very special friend with us，” she smiled.“Everyone, please welcome Ben, your new classmate.” Soon after, a boy with a pair of crutches(拐杖)entered.The new boy only had one leg.Eric was shocked.He and all his classmates thought how unlucky Ben was and that he must be very shy and sad. 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 At that moment, Mrs.Fletcher asked Ben to introduce himself. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by Ben, Eric realized he should appreciate what he had. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [参考范文] At that moment, Mrs.Fletcher asked Ben to introduce himself.To everyone's surprise, Ben walked to the platform cheerfully and confidently.After greeting them in a joyful voice, he shared many hobbies and his loving family.At the end of his speaking, Ben added, “Even though I have lost a leg, I never feel bad for my situation.I'm grateful for what I have.” All of the students were touched by Ben's words and clapped for his courage and optimism from the bottom of their hearts. Inspired by Ben, Eric realized he should appreciate what he had.After school, he gladly walked home.When reaching home, he knocked at Mom's door and apologized sincerely, “Mom, I'm sorry I shouted at you.I should thank you for everything you have done for me and I will take good care of Lily like a responsible big brother.” Hearing what he said, Stacey hugged Eric tightly, with relieved tears pouring down her cheeks silently.From that day on, Eric became confident and didn't hide his feet under his chair any more.
