Group discount: Travel with a group of 5 or more and receive an additional 5% off per person.(早鸟折扣：提前60天预订，享受10%的折扣！团体折扣：5人或5人以上同行，每人额外享受5%的折扣。)”可知，一对夫妇和他们的四位父母共6人，提前60天预订可以享受10%的折扣，6人同行还可以享受每人5%的团体折扣，所以至少要支付(10000×4+10000×2)×(1−10%)×(1−5%)=51300美元。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“When visiting them, you should pay attention to your clothing colors, as bright colors can scare them away, so please pack natural shades of brown, gray and green.(参观时，请注意您的衣物颜色，因为鲜艳的颜色可能会吓跑它们，所以请准备自然色调的棕色、灰色和绿色衣物。)”可知，提醒游客注意他们的衣服是为了保护野生动物。故选B。 B One day, Dr. Simpson was lecturing, and most of us were dutifully taking notes. Some were talking with the neighbors while I was texting my friend about the preparation of the party that night. Dr. Simpson stopped and fixed a cold stare on a student in the second row. The student stared back and lifted his jaw (下巴). “What is your problem, young man?” The professor demanded. “You,” the student replied. “Me?” “Yeah, you and the boring course you’re teaching.” “Get out of my class!” Dr. Simpson shouted. The student threw away his books and headed towards the door. I didn’t hear a word Dr. Simpson said. My complete attention was on the student who had stormed out of the classroom. Some turned to their neighbors with wide-eyed expressions, their jaws practically on the floor. One student whispered, “Did that really just happen?” Five minutes or so went by, Dr. Simpson stopped his lecture again. He looked around the class and asked, “What have I been lecturing about for the last five minutes?” I didn’t know. Nobody knew. The class was silent. Then, Dr. Simpson said, “John, go tell Fred that he can come back in.” As Fred was making his way back to his seat, Dr. Simpson thanked him. And at that time, we realized that they did it on purpose. We sat in silence. And then, Dr. Simpson said something I will never forget. “You weren’t listening to my lecture. None of you were. You were all thinking about Fred. Remember that when you start teaching. Any time there is a disruption (扰乱) in class, you have lost your students’ attention.” It was one of the most useful lessons I ever learned in college. Over the years, my work was influenced by many disruptions. Every time I lost the class’s attention, I flashed back to the lesson Dr. Simpson taught me that day. I gave five minutes to discuss what had happened and then said a cheerful “Let’s get back to today’s lesson plan!” 4 What was the author doing when Dr. Simpson first stopped his lecture? A. Taking notes carefully. B. Preparing for a presentation. C. Asking her classmate a question. D. Communicating with her friend. 5. How did some students feel when Fred went out? A. Satisfied. B. Relieved. C. Disappointed. D. Shocked. 6. What is the author probably? A. A student. B. A teacher. C. A writer. D. A researcher. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. An interesting college lecture. B. A story about a rude student. C. A case-based teaching method. D. A way to improve teacher-student relations. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者在大学时，Dr. Simpson通过一场特别的“教学”给作者上了一堂难忘的课，让作者明白了如何在课堂上吸引学生的注意力。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Some were talking with the neighbors while I was texting my friend about the preparation of the party that night.(一些人在和邻座聊天，而我在给朋友发短信，谈论那天晚上聚会的准备情况。)”可知，当Dr. Simpson第一次停止讲课时，作者正在和她的朋友交流。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Some turned to their neighbors with wide-eyed expressions, their jaws practically on the floor. One student whispered, “Did that really just happen?”(一些人瞪大眼睛转向邻座，下巴几乎要掉到地上。一个学生小声说：“这真的发生了吗?”)”可知，当Fred走出去的时候，一些学生感觉很震惊。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Every time I lost the class’s attention, I flashed back to the lesson Dr. Simpson taught me that day.(每当我失去学生的注意力时，我就会回想起Simpson博士那天给我上的课。)”可推知，作者很可能是一名老师。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“One day, Dr. Simpson was lecturing.(有一天，辛普森博士正在讲课。)”和最后一段“It was one of the most useful lessons I ever learned in college.(这是我在大学里学到的最有用的课程之一。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者在大学时，Dr. Simpson通过一场特别的“教学”给作者上了一堂难忘的课，让作者明白了如何在课堂上吸引学生的注意力，由此可知，这篇文章主要讲了一种基于案例的教学方法。故选C。 C New research predicts that many wildlife species in the continental United States will experience year-long droughts nearly five times more often in the coming decades (2050—2080) than they did historically (1950 — 2005). In an even more dramatic turn of events, three-year droughts may become nearly seven times more frequent. “The degree of increased drought exposure for each species in our analysis mainly depends on future greenhouse gas concentrations,” said Dr. Merijn van den Bosch, lead author of the study. “But even under lower-concentration circumstances, virtually all vertebrates (脊椎动物) face increased year-long and multi-year droughts in the second half of this century. The possible impact will depend on the species and the length of the drought.” For example, the endangered giant kangaroo rat, a kind of animal which is native to dry habitats (栖息地) in California, has adapted to occasional short droughts. However, populations can decrease after multi-year droughts, making existing threats worse, including a loss of nearly all their historic habitats. This study shows that much of the remaining giant kangaroo rat range could soon face these longer droughts much more often. “That does not indicate something good for this already-endangered species,” said van den Bosch. Likewise, the ranges of many game species whose populations are not currently at risk will also face more frequent year-long and three-year droughts in the future. This trend could have an impact on wildlife and game management. Scientists aimed to identify areas with both high biodiversity and large predicted increases in drought to provide information about places where adaptive water management or habitat restoration could benefit the most wildlife species. They used state-of-the-art modeling techniques to predict future situations. It turned out that the southwestern United States had the highest number of different species, the highest number of drought-threatened species, and the highest predicted change in drought exposure. “Many species living there have adapted to periodic droughts, but the concern is that if they are already near the limit of what they can bear, the large increase in drought we’re expecting can have serious results for these ecosystems and the wildlife that depends on them,” said van den Bosch. 8. What plays a key role in the drought exposure of animals? A. The annual rainfall. B. The greenhouse gas. C. The size of their populations. D. The temperature of their bodies. 9 Why does the author use the example of the giant kangaroo rat? A. To assess its living conditions. B. To analyse the adaptability of animals. C. To stress its ability to fight drought. D. To show the effect of drought on animals. 10. What is the purpose of the new research? A. To prevent the loss of wildlife habitats. B. To promote effective water management. C. To discover suitable areas for wildlife protection. D. To identify the most adaptable wildlife species. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Wildlife Species and Results of Drought. B. Fight against Drought and Wildlife Protection. C. Wildlife Is Responding Actively to Increasing Drought. D. Drought Impacts on Wildlife Can Inform Conservation Strategies. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了新的研究表明，美国大陆许多野生动物物种在未来几十年将面临更频繁的全年干旱和三年干旱，文章分析了干旱对野生动物的影响，并指出了科学研究的目的，即为野生动物保护提供信息。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The degree of increased drought exposure for each species in our analysis mainly depends on future greenhouse gas concentrations.(在我们的分析中，每个物种干旱暴露程度的增加主要取决于未来温室气体的浓度。)”可知，在动物的干旱暴露中起着关键作用的是温室气体。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“However, populations can decrease after multi-year droughts, making existing threats worse, including a loss of nearly all their historic habitats. This study shows that much of the remaining giant kangaroo rat range could soon face these longer droughts much more often.(然而，在多年干旱之后，种群数量可能会减少，使现有的威胁更加严重，包括失去几乎所有的历史栖息地。这项研究表明，剩余的大部分大袋鼠鼠的活动范围可能很快就会更频繁地面临这些更长的干旱。)”可知，作者使用大袋鼠鼠的例子是为了说明干旱对动物的影响。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Scientists aimed to identify areas with both high biodiversity and large predicted increases in drought to provide information about places where adaptive water management or habitat restoration could benefit the most wildlife species.(科学家们的目标是确定那些生物多样性高且预计干旱将大幅增加的地区，以提供有关哪些地方可以通过适应性水资源管理或栖息地恢复使大多数野生动物物种受益的信息。)”可知，这项新研究的目的是为野生动物保护发现合适的地区。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了新的研究表明，美国大陆许多野生动物物种在未来几十年将面临更频繁的全年干旱和三年干旱，文章分析了干旱对野生动物的影响，并指出了科学研究的目的，即为野生动物保护提供信息，由此可知，选项D“干旱对野生动物的影响可以为保护策略提供信息”最符合文章主旨，可以作为本文标题。故选D。 D Although the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved nine colors for use in processed food and other products like sunscreen and pills, a recent state assessment of research conducted on products with artificial food dyes (色素) found they may increase or contribute to hyperactivity (多动症) in kids. The FDA-approved artificial additives are made from petrol and are contained in at least 90%of candies marketed to kids, and 40% of all children’s food products. Scientists at the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment reviewed 27 human clinical trials, as well as studies, to shed light on how food dyes affect human health. They concluded that levels of the artificial food coloring considered to be safe by the FDA are too high for children. “It is an excellent, basically landmark summary of the literature,” said Joel Nigg, a psychologist and ADHD researcher at Oregon Health & Science University, who published a comprehensive 2015 review of human studies available and whose work is cited in California’s health hazard assessment. “It’s the first time a comprehensive review of human, animal and lab studies has been all put together.” In response to the growing evidence, California recently passed a law to prevent several artificial dyes from foods offered at public schools. It will go into effect on Dec. 31, 2027. “It’s a slam dunk that some kids are being affected by these chemicals,” said Scott Faber, senior vice president for government affairs for the Environmental Working Group. “It makes them less prepared to learn. We should take immediate steps to solve this problem.” Meanwhile, in Europe, food manufacturers must add a label on foods with artificial coloring, which warns they “may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children.” Stevenson’s studies found a measurable but modest (适度的) effect of artificial dyes on behavior. It’s necessary to remove them, though, which will do good to children, much like the benefits of removing lead (铅) from gas. “When you took lead out of gas, the improvement in IQ scores was about the same as the change we see in children’s behavior when you remove the dyes from their diet,” Stevenson said. 12. What can we know about the FDA-approved artificial additives? A. They are not well accepted by the public. B. They are aimed at children’s food products. C. They are probably not so safe as they were supposed. D. They are considered as the main cause of hyperactivity in kids. 13. What is Joel Nigg’s attitude towards scientists’ review of previous studies? A. Approving. B. Worried. C. Critical. D. Mixed. 14. Which of the following can replace the underlined part “a slam dunk” in paragraph 5? A. A sure thing. B. A key factor. C. A possible result. D. A mistaken belief. 15. Why is lead mentioned in Stevenson’s words? A. To explain the necessity to purify gas. B. To point out the existence of harmful matters. C. To show the benefit of removing artificial dyes. D. To demonstrate the role of dyes in producing food. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于人工食品色素的研究发现及其对儿童健康可能产生的影响，以及对此采取的相关措施。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They concluded that levels of the artificial food coloring considered to be safe by the FDA are too high for children. (他们得出的结论是，FDA认为安全的人工食用色素含量对儿童来说太高了。)”可知，FDA批准的人工添加剂可能并不像人们认为的那么安全。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It is an excellent, basically landmark summary of the literature .(这是一篇非常优秀、基本上是里程碑式的文献综述。)”可推知，Joel Nigg对科学家对以往研究的评价持支持态度。故选A。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“some kids are being affected by these chemicals. (一些孩子确实受到了这些化学物质的影响。)”可知，此处想表达的是“一些孩子受到这些化学物质影响是确凿无疑的事”，由此可知，a slam dunk意为“一件确定的事情”。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s necessary to remove them, though, which will do good to children, much like the benefits of removing lead (铅) from gas. (不过，有必要去除它们，这对孩子们有好处，就像从汽油中去除铅的好处一样。)”可知，在Stevenson的话中提到铅是为了展示去除人工色素的好处。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most people know the physical benefits of exercise: weight control, lower blood pressure, increased energy. ___16___ Exercise can be a powerful helper in beating “the blues” or feelings of sadness and low mood. From reducing the depression and anxiety to keeping your memory sharp, there is no shortage of psychological benefits of exercise. ____17____ For starters, it can improve the mood almost immediately. However, antidepressant (抗抑郁) medications take between several weeks and several months to be fully effective. Additionally, exercise can counteract (抵消) one of the unpleasant side effects: weight gain. Many people who have mental health concerns are not enthusiastic about starting a medication for the rest of their lives. ____18____ Exercise might be one of them. Finding the inner strength to begin a new routine might be difficult for those struggling with emotional challenges. Start slow and work into a consistent, daily exercise program. Remember that exercise doesn’t have to be intense or time-consuming to be beneficial. ____19____ The key is consistency and finding activities that bring enjoyment and fulfillment. However, if you are experiencing long-term feelings of low spirits, it’s crucial to seek support from a mental health provider. A professional can provide a proper treatment option. ____20____ A. But how do these benefits come about? B. Instead, they are interested in pursuing other options. C. But what about the mental and emotional benefits of exercise? D. Exercise offers some advantages over antidepressant medications. E. Intense exercise can bring you some tiredness and even some injuries. F. That doesn’t mean exercise is not valuable when you manage mental health, though. G. Daily simple activities, such as walking and dancing, can have positive effects on the mood. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. B 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了锻炼对身心健康的好处，尤其是其在改善情绪和心理健康方面的积极作用。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Most people know the physical benefits of exercise: weight control, lower blood pressure, increased energy.(大多数人都知道锻炼对身体的好处：控制体重、降低血压、增加能量)”和下文“Exercise can be a powerful helper in beating “the blues” or feelings of sadness and low mood. From reducing the depression and anxiety to keeping your memory sharp, there is no shortage of psychological benefits of exercise.(锻炼可以是打败“忧郁”或悲伤和情绪低落的有力帮手。从减少抑郁和焦虑到保持记忆力敏锐，锻炼对心理的好处不胜枚举)”可知，上文讲述了锻炼对身体的好处，而下文讲述了锻炼对心理的好处，空白处应该起到承上启下的作用。选项C“但是锻炼对精神和情绪的好处呢？”符合语境。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据下文“For starters, it can improve the mood almost immediately. However, antidepressant (抗抑郁) medications take between several weeks and several months to be fully effective. Additionally, exercise can counteract (抵消) one of the unpleasant side effects: weight gain.(首先，它几乎可以立即改善情绪。然而，抗抑郁药物需要几周到几个月的时间才能完全见效。此外，锻炼可以抵消一个令人不快的副作用：体重增加。)”可知，本段主要将锻炼和抗抑郁药物进行对比，讲述锻炼比抗抑郁药物更有优势。选项D“锻炼比抗抑郁药物有一些优势”能够概括本段大意，适合放在句首。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Many people who have mental health concerns are not enthusiastic about starting a medication for the rest of their lives.(许多有心理健康问题的人对余生开始服药并不热情)”和下文“Exercise might be one of them.(锻炼可能就是其中之一)”可知，有心理健康问题的人不愿意余生都服药，所以他们会选择其他的治疗方式，锻炼可能就是他们选择的方式之一。选项B“相反，他们有兴趣追求其他选择”符合语境。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Remember that exercise doesn’t have to be intense or time-consuming to be beneficial.(记住，锻炼不必是剧烈的或耗时的才有益)”和下文“The key is consistency and finding activities that bring enjoyment and fulfillment.(关键是持之以恒，找到能带来快乐和满足感的活动)”可知，空白处应该讲述什么样的锻炼才是有益的锻炼。选项G“日常的简单活动，如散步和跳舞，可以对情绪产生积极影响”符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“However, if you are experiencing long-term feelings of low spirits, it’s crucial to seek support from a mental health provider. A professional can provide a proper treatment option.(然而，如果你长期情绪低落，寻求心理健康专家的支持至关重要。专业人士可以提供适当的治疗方案)”可知，本段主要讲述有心理健康问题的人要寻求专业人士的帮助，但这并不意味着锻炼在管理心理健康时没有价值。选项F“不过，这并不意味着当你管理心理健康时，锻炼就没有价值”符合语境。故选F。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 8-year-old Zayin Berry from Yuma has become a hero recently.

Now that I’ve started knitting (编织) as my passion and tried to make my skills more creative, I have made a lot of things and even started a business, but there’s no one to buy them. I have only received a few orders in these past months,” Safa said in low spirits. Her mum replied, “You shouldn’t be sad. If you’re making an effort, it will bear fruit; you just have to be patient. Success doesn’t only come from a business.” Safa sighed, “Okay, I hope you’re right.” One day, Safa received a call from her friend Lily. “I heard you’re selling sweaters made from wool. How much does a sweater cost?” Lily asked. Safa replied, “You want a sweater in your city, where winter barely arrives? That’s surprising! But I can send you the price list.” Lily responded, “No, I don’t want it for myself. I want to donate (捐赠) some to my penfriend’s village because there are many needy people there.” Safa was shocked upon hearing this. Lily continued, “So I’ll place an order online on your page. Can you please send me the link?” Safa said, “Oh! Yeah, my business page is called ‘Crots and Knots’. By the way, your idea is wonderful!” Lily smiled, and they chatted about other things. After the call, Safa was very inspired to know what Lily was doing now, because she had never thought of helping people or doing something good that way. She was always thinking about how to benefit from what she had command of for her own interest. And at that moment, she wanted to change and do more with her skills. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Safa discussed Lily’s action with her mum that night. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Safa rang Lily, saying that she also wanted to donate some sweaters. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Safa discussed Lily’s action with her mum that night. Her mother listened attentively, her eyes twinkling with approval. “Safa,” she said gently, “this is a wonderful opportunity. Not only can you help those in need, but it also shows the true value of your skills. Remember, doing good deeds can bring a different kind of success and fulfillment.” Safa nodded, her heart filled with determination. She realized that her business could be more than just a means to make money; it could be a tool for making a positive impact on others. Safa rang Lily, saying that she also wanted to donate some sweaters. Lily was overjoyed. “That’s amazing, Safa! Your kindness will make a real difference to those people,” she exclaimed. Safa smiled, feeling a newly acquired sense of purpose. She started working even harder, knitting more sweaters to meet the needs of the village. As news of her selfless act spread, more people became interested in her business. Orders began to pour in, not just from those who wanted to support her cause but also from those who were impressed by her talent. Safa finally understood that success wasn’t just about profit; it was about using her skills to bring warmth and hope to others. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Safa向母亲倾诉自己开展编织业务却遭遇销售困境的沮丧心情，母亲鼓励她要有耐心。后来，Safa的朋友Lily打来电话，表示想为笔友的村庄捐赠毛衣，因为那里有很多需要帮助的人。这件事启发了Safa，让她意识到可以用自己的技能去做一些有益的事情，而不仅仅是追求个人利益。之前，Safa一直只想着如何利用自己的技能为自己谋利，但现在她想要做出改变，用自己的技能去做更多有意义的事情。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，Safa与妈妈讨论了Lily的行为。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈对这样的行为表示赞同以及Safa下定决心要做这件事。 ②由第二段首句内容“Safa给Lily打了电话，说她也想捐赠一些毛衣。”可知，第二段可描写Lily对Safa的行为给与肯定，Safa努力工作编织毛衣进行捐赠，以及Safa的感悟。 2. 续写线索：妈妈表示赞同——Safa下定决心——Lily感到激动——努力工作捐赠毛衣——订单增多——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：help/assist ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③对……感兴趣：become interested in/take an interest in 情绪类 ①欣喜若狂：be overjoyed/be wild with joy ②令人惊讶的：amazing/astonishing 【点睛】【高分句型1】Not only can you help those in need, but it also shows the true value of your skills.

Some were talking with the neighbors while I was texting my friend about the preparation of the party that night. Dr. Simpson stopped and fixed a cold stare on a student in the second row. The student stared back and lifted his jaw (下巴). “What is your problem, young man?” The professor demanded. “You,” the student replied. “Me?” “Yeah, you and the boring course you’re teaching.” “Get out of my class!” Dr. Simpson shouted. The student threw away his books and headed towards the door. I didn’t hear a word Dr. Simpson said. My complete attention was on the student who had stormed out of the classroom. Some turned to their neighbors with wide-eyed expressions, their jaws practically on the floor. One student whispered, “Did that really just happen?” Five minutes or so went by, Dr. Simpson stopped his lecture again. He looked around the class and asked, “What have I been lecturing about for the last five minutes?” I didn’t know. Nobody knew. The class was silent. Then, Dr. Simpson said, “John, go tell Fred that he can come back in.” As Fred was making his way back to his seat, Dr. Simpson thanked him. And at that time, we realized that they did it on purpose. We sat in silence. And then, Dr. Simpson said something I will never forget. “You weren’t listening to my lecture. None of you were. You were all thinking about Fred. Remember that when you start teaching. Any time there is a disruption (扰乱) in class, you have lost your students’ attention.” It was one of the most useful lessons I ever learned in college. Over the years, my work was influenced by many disruptions. Every time I lost the class’s attention, I flashed back to the lesson Dr. Simpson taught me that day. I gave five minutes to discuss what had happened and then said a cheerful “Let’s get back to today’s lesson plan!” 4. What was the author doing when Dr. Simpson first stopped his lecture? A. Taking notes carefully. B. Preparing for a presentation. C. Asking her classmate a question. D. Communicating with her friend. 5 How did some students feel when Fred went out? A. Satisfied. B. Relieved. C. Disappointed. D. Shocked. 6. What is the author probably? A. A student. B. A teacher. C. A writer. D. A researcher. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. An interesting college lecture. B. A story about a rude student. C. A case-based teaching method. D. A way to improve teacher-student relations. C New research predicts that many wildlife species in the continental United States will experience year-long droughts nearly five times more often in the coming decades (2050—2080) than they did historically (1950 — 2005). In an even more dramatic turn of events, three-year droughts may become nearly seven times more frequent. “The degree of increased drought exposure for each species in our analysis mainly depends on future greenhouse gas concentrations,” said Dr. Merijn van den Bosch, lead author of the study. “But even under lower-concentration circumstances, virtually all vertebrates (脊椎动物) face increased year-long and multi-year droughts in the second half of this century. The possible impact will depend on the species and the length of the drought.” For example, the endangered giant kangaroo rat, a kind of animal which is native to dry habitats (栖息地) in California, has adapted to occasional short droughts. However, populations can decrease after multi-year droughts, making existing threats worse, including a loss of nearly all their historic habitats. This study shows that much of the remaining giant kangaroo rat range could soon face these longer droughts much more often. “That does not indicate something good for this already-endangered species,” said van den Bosch. Likewise, the ranges of many game species whose populations are not currently at risk will also face more frequent year-long and three-year droughts in the future. This trend could have an impact on wildlife and game management. Scientists aimed to identify areas with both high biodiversity and large predicted increases in drought to provide information about places where adaptive water management or habitat restoration could benefit the most wildlife species. They used state-of-the-art modeling techniques to predict future situations. It turned out that the southwestern United States had the highest number of different species, the highest number of drought-threatened species, and the highest predicted change in drought exposure. “Many species living there have adapted to periodic droughts, but the concern is that if they are already near the limit of what they can bear, the large increase in drought we’re expecting can have serious results for these ecosystems and the wildlife that depends on them,” said van den Bosch. 8. What plays a key role in the drought exposure of animals? A. The annual rainfall. B. The greenhouse gas. C. The size of their populations. D. The temperature of their bodies. 9. Why does the author use the example of the giant kangaroo rat? A. To assess its living conditions. B. To analyse the adaptability of animals. C. To stress its ability to fight drought. D. To show the effect of drought on animals. 10. What is the purpose of the new research? A. To prevent the loss of wildlife habitats. B. To promote effective water management. C. To discover suitable areas for wildlife protection. D. To identify the most adaptable wildlife species. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Wildlife Species and Results of Drought. B. Fight against Drought and Wildlife Protection. C. Wildlife Is Responding Actively to Increasing Drought. D. Drought Impacts on Wildlife Can Inform Conservation Strategies. D Although the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved nine colors for use in processed food and other products like sunscreen and pills, a recent state assessment of research conducted on products with artificial food dyes (色素) found they may increase or contribute to hyperactivity (多动症) in kids. The FDA-approved artificial additives are made from petrol and are contained in at least 90%of candies marketed to kids, and 40% of all children’s food products. Scientists at the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment reviewed 27 human clinical trials, as well as studies, to shed light on how food dyes affect human health. They concluded that levels of the artificial food coloring considered to be safe by the FDA are too high for children. “It is an excellent, basically landmark summary of the literature,” said Joel Nigg, a psychologist and ADHD researcher at Oregon Health & Science University, who published a comprehensive 2015 review of human studies available and whose work is cited in California’s health hazard assessment. “It’s the first time a comprehensive review of human, animal and lab studies has been all put together.” In response to the growing evidence, California recently passed a law to prevent several artificial dyes from foods offered at public schools. It will go into effect on Dec. 31, 2027. “It’s a slam dunk that some kids are being affected by these chemicals,” said Scott Faber, senior vice president for government affairs for the Environmental Working Group. “It makes them less prepared to learn. We should take immediate steps to solve this problem.” Meanwhile, in Europe, food manufacturers must add a label on foods with artificial coloring, which warns they “may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children.” Stevenson’s studies found a measurable but modest (适度的) effect of artificial dyes on behavior. It’s necessary to remove them, though, which will do good to children, much like the benefits of removing lead (铅) from gas. “When you took lead out of gas, the improvement in IQ scores was about the same as the change we see in children’s behavior when you remove the dyes from their diet,” Stevenson said. 12. What can we know about the FDA-approved artificial additives? A. They are not well accepted by the public. B. They are aimed at children’s food products. C. They are probably not so safe as they were supposed. D. They are considered as the main cause of hyperactivity in kids. 13. What is Joel Nigg’s attitude towards scientists’ review of previous studies? A. Approving. B. Worried. C. Critical. D. Mixed. 14. Which of the following can replace the underlined part “a slam dunk” in paragraph 5? A. A sure thing. B. A key factor. C. A possible result. D. A mistaken belief. 15. Why is lead mentioned in Stevenson’s words? A To explain the necessity to purify gas. B. To point out the existence of harmful matters. C. To show the benefit of removing artificial dyes. D. To demonstrate the role of dyes in producing food. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most people know the physical benefits of exercise: weight control, lower blood pressure, increased energy. ___16___ Exercise can be a powerful helper in beating “the blues” or feelings of sadness and low mood.

Now that I’ve started knitting (编织) as my passion and tried to make my skills more creative, I have made a lot of things and even started a business, but there’s no one to buy them. I have only received a few orders in these past months,” Safa said in low spirits. Her mum replied, “You shouldn’t be sad. If you’re making an effort, it will bear fruit; you just have to be patient. Success doesn’t only come from a business.” Safa sighed, “Okay, I hope you’re right.” One day, Safa received a call from her friend Lily. “I heard you’re selling sweaters made from wool. How much does a sweater cost?” Lily asked. Safa replied, “You want a sweater in your city, where winter barely arrives? That’s surprising! But I can send you the price list.” Lily responded, “No, I don’t want it for myself. I want to donate (捐赠) some to my penfriend’s village because there are many needy people there.” Safa was shocked upon hearing this. Lily continued, “So I’ll place an order online on your page. Can you please send me the link?” Safa said, “Oh! Yeah, my business page is called ‘Crots and Knots’. By the way, your idea is wonderful!” Lily smiled, and they chatted about other things. After the call, Safa was very inspired to know what Lily was doing now, because she had never thought of helping people or doing something good that way. She was always thinking about how to benefit from what she had command of for her own interest. And at that moment, she wanted to change and do more with her skills. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Safa discussed Lily’s action with her mum that night. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Safa rang Lily, saying that she also wanted to donate some sweaters. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
