There are always some places that seem to go well beyond our earthly expectations. These incredible locations are similar to those in science fictions, transporting us to otherworldly grounds.
Cappadocia, Turkey
Located in central Anatolia, the area is known for its unusual rock structures known as “fairy chimneys.” These columns, produced by volcanoes and gradual damage from water over millions of years, give the region its otherworldly appearance.
Tsingy de Bemaraha, Madagascar
The remarkable sight attracts visitors with its unique limestone structures. Stretching over 1,500-square kilometers, Tsingy, which means “where one cannot walk barefoot,” contains sharp surfaces and underground caves, forming a dramatic landscape. Adventurers can explore the park via bridges and ladders to witness the breathtaking beauty of this natural wonder.
Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park, China
Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park a UNESCO World Heritage site in China, contains landforms that are one of nature’s masterpieces. Its vivid, rainbow-colored rock structures have been shaped by wind and water erosion over millions of years. The layers of red, orange and yellow create a never-before-seen landscape for many people that looks as if it were on a different planet altogether.
Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
Located within the remarkable landscapes of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, the cenotes present a place of otherworldly beauty. These natural sinkholes, created by the collapse of their limestone base, open up into charming underground caves and shining pools. Rays of sunlight dance through the openings in the walls, lighting up the waters below, telling a tale of nature’s artistry.
Visiting these places not only provides a visual feast, but also reminds us of the incredible wonder here on Earth.
1. What created the fairy chimneys in Cappadocia?
A. Volcanoes and water. B. Earthquakes and floods.
C. Wind and sea waves. D. Collapse of limestone base.
2. In which country can visitors appreciate colorful rocks according to the passage?

Cycling advocates in Canada’s Province of British Columbia (B.C.) hope a new U.S. study will boost the case to allow cyclists to yield which means to slow down and pass without stopping fully, at stop signs and safely roll through intersections (道路交叉口). While it’s the law like B.C. for cyclists to stop at stop signs, like every other road user, it’s common to see people on two wheels choose an illegal yield — rolling past the sign after checking it’s safe to pass through. “It makes it a lot more efficient,” said Vancouver cyclist Ben Cooper about getting through intersections. “I’m not going to come to a full stop. You know, the amount of energy it takes to stop my entire bike and get it going again — it just doesn’t make sense.”
The argument over whether rolling stops — that is, no need to stop completely, but pass slowly — should be legalized has been ongoing since the early 1980s when the state of Idaho first made it legal, resulting in the move being named the Idaho stop. Several other U.S. states have since followed suit, including Oregon. Canada hasn’t yet adopted laws for rolling stops for bikes.
Cycling advocates in B.C. say they’ve been pushing the issue for years and hope a new study from researchers at Oregon State University, published this month in an academic transportation journal, will aid their argument.
The Oregon study says with proper education for both cyclists and drivers, Idaho stops do not lead either riders or drivers to act unsafely. Researchers observed 60 people paired off who went through 16 virtual interaction scenes as either cyclist or driver, coming together at a four-way-stop intersection. They found that instead of drivers being angry toward cyclists who appeared to be breaking the law by rolling through, driving participants approached intersections either more slowly or at a similar pace after being educated about what bicycle rolling stops were.
Nearly four out of five crashes involving cyclists in B.C. happen at intersections. “This research gives decision-makers information to support prospective legal policies, set up educational programs and design strong enforcement (执行) practices,” said Hurwitz, one of the researchers.
4. What is Ben Cooper’s opinion about cyclists’ yielding at stop signs?
A. It’s more effective. B. It’s against the law.
C. It’s a waste of time. D. It’s dangerous for cyclists.
5. What is the result of the study at Oregon State University?
A. Rolling stops always cause more accidents.
B. Suitable education ensures safe “Idaho stops”.
C. Study shows rolling stops should be banned.
D. Drivers are mad at cyclists yielding at intersections.
6. What is the attitude of Hurwitz towards legalization of yield?
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Disproving. D. Supportive.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Citizens Call for a Ban on Rolling Stops B. Bicycle Safety Tips on Rolling Stops
C. B. C. Cyclists Push for “Idaho Stop” Law D. Policy Makers Focus on Cyclist-Driver Crashes
C
A few years ago, I bought a Lego Taj Mahal (泰姬陵乐高积木) for my dad’s birthday, hoping to combine his love for architecture with family time. Each evening, my dad and I gathered around the large dining table to piece the model together, faced with thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged in numbered plastic bags, accompanied by a thick instruction book.
The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts producing good results, and as we turned to the boring task of ordering the colored bricks on the building’s floor, our conversation too took a turn. We were amazed by how complex the model was and its instruction book. We realized the book itself was a work of art, beautiful, but also surprisingly detailed and clear. It provided us with the comfort of certainty. We knew if we followed all the instructions, we would end up with a model that looked exactly like the picture on the box. If we made a mistake, all we had to do was to repeat our steps and start again.
Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely gives us such straightforward instructions. We talked over our respective lives, decisions made, and actions and choices never taken. Dad reflected on a life well lived, and I, in my mid-thirties, on the uncertain path that lay ahead. Here, we were the expert architects doing the assembling (组装), but out in the world, we were the ones being assembled. We think we’ re in control, but our choices are shaped by forces beyond our control. In the face of uncertainty, we have to proceed, trusting both in the process and the end result.
Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the completed Lego model, which brings forth a sense of happiness and comfort. It reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes, an element of uncertainty and no instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life well lived. Life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but rather how we lived it.
8. Why did the author buy the Lego Taj Mahal for his father?
A. To decorate their dining room. B. To strengthen their family ties.
C. To teach his dad about Indian culture. D. To improve his dad’s architecture skills.
9. Which of the following best describes the author’s experience of building the Lego model?
A. Simple but tiresome. B. Boring and confusing.
C. Complicated but rewarding. D. Challenging and discouraging.
10. What does the author learn from assembling the Lego model?
A. Life’s uncertainty brings more excitement.
B. Life should be planned and shaped carefully.
C. Life seldom provides clear guidance.
D. Following instructions guarantees success in life.
11. What does the completed Lego model mean to the author?
A. A symbol of material achievements.
B. The journey of living one’s life well.
C The importance of following instructions.
D. The value of accompanying family members.
D
Energy crops can be used for heat, electricity and even biofuels like bioethanol. They will become more important as the world turns away from fossil fuels, such as oil and coal. In a new study, researchers from the University of Surrey have shown that where you choose to plant energy crops makes a big difference to biodiversity.
A detailed analysis has shown that, compared to planting them elsewhere, planting energy crops on existing agricultural land in places like China and Central Europe could diminish harm to biodiversity. Planting in these locations could then allow agricultural land in other places to be restored to natural habitats, maximizing the benefits to biodiversity. The study is published in the Journal of Applied Ecology.
Sophi e Tudge, who carried out the research at Surrey’s Center for Environment and Sustainability, said, “Our study suggests that, as far as biodiversity is concerned, it is always best to restore farmland to nature rather than re-plant it with energy crops.”
“Yet, we are realists. In the future, more fuel will come from crops, and it is far better to plant them on existing farms than to destroy remaining natural habitats. We have shown that where you plant those crops makes a huge difference to how many species continue to grow healthily,” she added.
When farmland is restored to nature, it creates new habitats for many species. Using that land to plant energy crops instead can be a missed opportunity to improve biodiversity. Given that energy crops need to be planted somewhere, researchers calculated which locations would have the smallest net impact on biodiversity.
They studied which habitats contained the richest mix of species. They then compared that information with maps of land use and information about where energy crops could produce the biggest yields (产量). The researchers found that the harm to biodiversity could be minimized in places like Central Europe and the east coasts of the U. S. and China. However, food security, farmers’ willingness, and surrounding energy infrastructure (基础设施) are also important. “After all, we depend on them to grow crops,” she said.
12. What does the underlined word “diminish” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Make something smaller. B. Increase greatly.
C. Remain unchanged. D. Get rid of completely.
13. What can we learn from Sophie Tudge’s words in paragraph 4?
A. Highest yields are the only priority.
B. Energy crops do harm to biodiversity.
C. Restoring farmland to nature is the best choice.
D. Planting on current farms protects natural habitats.
14. What should be done in energy crop planting areas according to the last paragraph?
A. Considering many factors besides biodiversity.
B. Caring about biodiversity over other factors.
C. Focusing primarily on energy crop yields.
D Planting energy crops in all available farmland.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Farmland should be restored to nature. B. Energy crops will replace fossil fuels.
C. Biodiversity calls for concern. D. Where Energy Crops grow Affects Biodiversity.

Reading enriches our lives and transforms us into individuals with good personal qualities. The more you read, the more you become civilized. Here are a few things I learned from reading books.
● You learn how to listen.
When you read, you focus on the book to understand whatever it is about. The amazing thing about it is that your opinion is not wanted. You learn to receive information without the need to say something. If you disagree in any way, you learn to silently digest the words you read, thinking why the author wrote that. ___16___
● You develop empathy (同理心).
If you listen with the purpose of understanding the other person, you learn to empathize. You try and analyze why a thing is said. Giving your unshakable attention to the book allows you to focus on only receiving the information. With that complete attention, you understand the story better. ___17___ You connect to the characters and feel for them.
● ___18___
They say that you are what you eat. ___19___ You’ll only take interest in books close to your heart. By judging the titles you have read, the better you understand your thinking process and eventually, you find who you are as a human being.
● You feel you are understood.
Whether in faith, relationships, or life, we have our personal opinions. But there are some ideas that are too risky to discuss with others. ___20___ Now you can say that you are not crazy for considering unusual ideas.
So, pick up a book and start your journey of self-discovery through reading.
A. You discover yourself.
B. You should respect different opinions in life.
C. But it’s more appropriate to say that you are what you read.
D. If you apply this to actual people, you would be a better listener.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Emma and I wanted a dog more than anything else. At night we’d slip out to the roof to talk about dogs.
One summer night, as we sat together on the roof, Emma saw something. “What’s that?” She pointed down toward a dark shadow on our driveway. I followed her finger and saw a big, black dog with long, untidy hair. We climbed down the roof. Emma made a little kissing noise and held out her hand. It approached slowly. When she was close enough, I stroked her gently. She was so skinny that I could feel every bone, and her coat was full of dirt. She seemed to be a homeless dog.
We decided to bring her some food. I slid into the kitchen to fill a bowl with milk. She drank it quickly, but as soon as she finished, she disappeared into the bushes.
The next day, we used our pocket money to buy some food for the dog, who we named Elsa. We hid the food as we were afraid our parents wouldn’t approve of us feeding a homeless dog.
That night, as soon as we set a plate down, Elsa appeared almost as if from nowhere. She nosed at it, but for some reason she wouldn’t eat it.
“Come on,” I urged. “Let’s leave her alone and see what happens.” So we went in and hid to spy. Unexpectedly, Elsa grabbed the plate in her mouth and ran away. By the time we rushed back outside, she was long gone.
This went on a long time — four or five nights, maybe. The most unusual thing was that even though Elsa kept taking the food, she didn’t seem to be putting on any weight. If anything, she was getting even skinnier.
Then came that special night. Elsa came, but this time she barked at us, and ran back and forth. I ran my hand through her fur, “What’s it, Elsa? What do you want?”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Elsa barked again, ran toward the bushes, and turned to see if we were following.

Cycling advocates in Canada’s Province of British Columbia (B.C.) hope a new U.S. study will boost the case to allow cyclists to yield, which means to slow down and pass without stopping fully, at stop signs and safely roll through intersections (道路交叉口). While it’s the law like B.C. for cyclists to stop at stop signs, like every other road user, it’s common to see people on two wheels choose an illegal yield — rolling past the sign after checking it’s safe to pass through. “It makes it a lot more efficient,” said Vancouver cyclist Ben Cooper about getting through intersections. “I’m not going to come to a full stop. You know, the amount of energy it takes to stop my entire bike and get it going again — it just doesn’t make sense.”
The argument over whether rolling stops — that is, no need to stop completely, but pass slowly — should be legalized has been ongoing since the early 1980s when the state of Idaho first made it legal, resulting in the move being named the Idaho stop. Several other U.S. states have since followed suit, including Oregon. Canada hasn’t yet adopted laws for rolling stops for bikes.
Cycling advocates in B.C. say they’ve been pushing the issue for years and hope a new study from researchers at Oregon State University, published this month in an academic transportation journal, will aid their argument.
The Oregon study says with proper education for both cyclists and drivers, Idaho stops do not lead either riders or drivers to act unsafely. Researchers observed 60 people paired off who went through 16 virtual interaction scenes as either cyclist or driver, coming together at a four-way-stop intersection. They found that instead of drivers being angry toward cyclists who appeared to be breaking the law by rolling through, driving participants approached intersections either more slowly or at a similar pace after being educated about what bicycle rolling stops were.
Nearly four out of five crashes involving cyclists in B.C. happen at intersections. “This research gives decision-makers information to support prospective legal policies, set up educational programs and design strong enforcement (执行) practices,” said Hurwitz, one of the researchers.
4. What is Ben Cooper’s opinion about cyclists’ yielding at stop signs?
A. It’s more effective. B. It’s against the law.
C. It’s a waste of time. D. It’s dangerous for cyclists.
5. What is the result of the study at Oregon State University?
A. Rolling stops always cause more accidents.
B Suitable education ensures safe “Idaho stops”.
C. Study shows rolling stops should be banned.
D. Drivers are mad at cyclists yielding at intersections.
6. What is the attitude of Hurwitz towards legalization of yield?
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Disproving. D. Supportive.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Citizens Call for a Ban on Rolling Stops B. Bicycle Safety Tips on Rolling Stops
C. B. C. Cyclists Push for “Idaho Stop” Law D. Policy Makers Focus on Cyclist-Driver Crashes
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省(B.C.)的骑行倡导者希望美国的一项新研究能支持允许骑行者在停车标志前“让行”(即减速通过而无需完全停止)的提议。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““It makes it a lot more efficient,” said Vancouver cyclist Ben Cooper about getting through intersections. “I’m not going to come to a full stop. You know, the amount of energy it takes to stop my entire bike and get it going again—it just doesn’t make sense.”(‘大大提高了效率。’温哥华的自行车手Ben Cooper在谈到通过十字路口时表示:‘我不会停下来的。你知道,让我的整个自行车停下来并重新启动所需要的能量——这太不合理了。’)”可知,Ben Cooper对骑车人在停车标志前减速让行(即不完全停下)的看法是这样更有效,因为停车在启动自行车需要消耗大量能量。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The Oregon study says with proper education for both cyclists and drivers, Idaho stops do not lead either riders or drivers to act unsafely.(该研究指出,只要对骑行者和驾驶员进行适当教育,‘爱达荷式停车法’不会导致双方危险行为。)”可知,俄勒冈州立大学的研究结果是适当的教育确保安全的“爱达荷式停车法”。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This research gives decision-makers information to support prospective legal policies, set up educational programs and design strong enforcement (执行) practices(这项研究为决策者提供了支持未来法律政策、设立教育项目以及制定有力执行措施的信息)”可知,Hurwitz对让行(不完全停下)合法化的态度是支持的,故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Cycling advocates in Canada’s Province of British Columbia (B.C.) hope a new U.S. study will boost the case to allow cyclists to yield, which means to slow down and pass without stopping fully, at stop signs and safely roll through intersections (道路交叉口).(加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省(B.C.)的自行车倡导者希望,美国一项新研究能强化允许骑行者在确保安全的前提下,以减速通行(即不完全停车但通过路口)替代完全停车的法规依据。)”可知,本文主要讲的是加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省(B.C.)的骑行倡导者希望美国的一项新研究能支持允许骑行者在停车标志前减速“让行”(即减速通过而无需完全停止)的提议,C选项“B.

A few years ago, I bought a Lego Taj Mahal (泰姬陵乐高积木) for my dad’s birthday, hoping to combine his love for architecture with family time. Each evening, my dad and I gathered around the large dining table to piece the model together, faced with thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged in numbered plastic bags, accompanied by a thick instruction book.
The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts producing good results, and as we turned to the boring task of ordering the colored bricks on the building’s floor, our conversation too took a turn. We were amazed by how complex the model was and its instruction book. We realized the book itself was a work of art, beautiful, but also surprisingly detailed and clear. It provided us with the comfort of certainty. We knew if we followed all the instructions, we would end up with a model that looked exactly like the picture on the box. If we made a mistake, all we had to do was to repeat our steps and start again.
Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely gives us such straightforward instructions. We talked over our respective lives, decisions made, and actions and choices never taken. Dad reflected on a life well lived, and I, in my mid-thirties, on the uncertain path that lay ahead. Here, we were the expert architects doing the assembling (组装), but out in the world, we were the ones being assembled. We think we’ re in control, but our choices are shaped by forces beyond our control. In the face of uncertainty, we have to proceed, trusting both in the process and the end result.
Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the completed Lego model, which brings forth a sense of happiness and comfort. It reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes, an element of uncertainty and no instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life well lived. Life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but rather how we lived it.
8. Why did the author buy the Lego Taj Mahal for his father?
A. To decorate their dining room. B. To strengthen their family ties.
C. To teach his dad about Indian culture. D. To improve his dad’s architecture skills.
9. Which of the following best describes the author’s experience of building the Lego model?
A. Simple but tiresome. B. Boring and confusing.
C. Complicated but rewarding. D. Challenging and discouraging.
10. What does the author learn from assembling the Lego model?
A. Life’s uncertainty brings more excitement.
B. Life should be planned and shaped carefully.
C. Life seldom provides clear guidance.
D. Following instructions guarantees success in life.
11. What does the completed Lego model mean to the author?
A. A symbol of material achievements.
B. The journey of living one’s life well.
C. The importance of following instructions.
D. The value of accompanying family members.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者讲述了和父亲一起搭建泰姬陵乐高模型的经历,并由此引发对生活的思考,乐高模型有明确的说明书,但生活没有,尽管充满不确定性,我们也要带着信心前行。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A few years ago, I bought a Lego Taj Mahal (泰姬陵乐高积木) for my dad’s birthday, hoping to combine his love for architecture with family time.(几年前,我为父亲的生日买了一款乐高泰姬陵积木,希望将他对建筑的热爱与家庭时光结合起来)”可推知,作者要为父亲买乐高泰姬陵是为了加强他们的家庭关系。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Each evening, my dad and I gathered around the large dining table to piece the model together, faced with thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged in numbered plastic bags, accompanied by a thick instruction book.(每天晚上,我和父亲都会围坐在大餐桌旁一起组装这个模型,面对成千上万块包装在编号塑料袋里的小小白色积木,还有一本厚厚的说明书)”和第二段“The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts producing good results, and as we turned to the boring task of ordering the colored bricks on the building’s floor, our conversation too took a turn.(夜晚时光飞逝,建筑在我们眼前逐渐成型。我们能看到自己的努力取得了不错的成果。当我们转而进行给建筑地板排列彩色积木这一枯燥任务时,我们的对话也随之转变了话题)”可知,搭建乐高面对数千个小小的白色积木,可推理出这个过程是复杂的;同时因搭建的建筑物在我们眼前逐渐升起,我们能看到努力正在结出果实。由此推知,作者搭建乐高模型的经历复杂而有益。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely gives us such straightforward instructions. We talked over our respective lives, decisions made, and actions and choices never taken.(然而,生活并不会如此整齐地拼凑在一起,也很少给我们如此直截了当的指示。我们谈论着各自的生活、已做出的决定,以及那些从未付诸行动的选择)”可知,作者从组装乐高模型中学到了人生没有明确的指引。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the completed Lego model, which brings forth a sense of happiness and comfort. It reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes, an element of uncertainty and no instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life well lived. Life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but rather how we lived it.(有时,在我回家的日子里,我会去备用房间看看这个组装好的乐高模型,它给我带来一种幸福和安慰的感觉。它提醒我,生活是慢慢构建起来的,过程中会有错误、有不确定因素,也没有说明书。它表明,体贴、温暖和信念会成就美好的生活。生活本身并不在于我们物质上创造了什么或留下了什么,而在于我们如何度过它)”可知,作者认为看见完成的乐高模型,让作者想起生活是慢慢构建的,有错误,有不确定性因素,生活本身不在于我们物质上创造或留下的东西,而在于我们如何度过它。由此推知,对作者来说完成的乐高模型象征着人生之旅,故选B。
D
Energy crops can be used for heat, electricity and even biofuels like bioethanol. They will become more important as the world turns away from fossil fuels, such as oil and coal. In a new study, researchers from the University of Surrey have shown that where you choose to plant energy crops makes a big difference to biodiversity.
A detailed analysis has shown that, compared to planting them elsewhere, planting energy crops on existing agricultural land in places like China and Central Europe could diminish harm to biodiversity. Planting in these locations could then allow agricultural land in other places to be restored to natural habitats, maximizing the benefits to biodiversity. The study is published in the Journal of Applied Ecology.
Sophi e Tudge, who carried out the research at Surrey’s Center for Environment and Sustainability, said, “Our study suggests that, as far as biodiversity is concerned, it is always best to restore farmland to nature rather than re-plant it with energy crops.”
“Yet, we are realists. In the future, more fuel will come from crops, and it is far better to plant them on existing farms than to destroy remaining natural habitats. We have shown that where you plant those crops makes a huge difference to how many species continue to grow healthily,” she added.
When farmland is restored to nature, it creates new habitats for many species. Using that land to plant energy crops instead can be a missed opportunity to improve biodiversity. Given that energy crops need to be planted somewhere, researchers calculated which locations would have the smallest net impact on biodiversity.
They studied which habitats contained the richest mix of species. They then compared that information with maps of land use and information about where energy crops could produce the biggest yields (产量). The researchers found that the harm to biodiversity could be minimized in places like Central Europe and the east coasts of the U. S. and China. However, food security, farmers’ willingness, and surrounding energy infrastructure (基础设施) are also important. “After all, we depend on them to grow crops,” she said.
12. What does the underlined word “diminish” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Make something smaller. B. Increase greatly.
C. Remain unchanged. D. Get rid of completely.
13. What can we learn from Sophie Tudge’s words in paragraph 4?
A. Highest yields are the only priority.
B. Energy crops do harm to biodiversity.
C. Restoring farmland to nature is the best choice.
D. Planting on current farms protects natural habitats.
14. What should be done in energy crop planting areas according to the last paragraph?
A. Considering many factors besides biodiversity.
B. Caring about biodiversity over other factors.
C. Focusing primarily on energy crop yields.
D. Planting energy crops in all available farmland.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Farmland should be restored to nature. B. Energy crops will replace fossil fuels.
C. Biodiversity calls for concern. D. Where Energy Crops grow Affects Biodiversity.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了能源作物种植地点对生物多样性的影响。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第二段中“A detailed analysis has shown that, compared to planting them elsewhere, planting energy crops on existing agricultural land in places like China and Central Europe could diminish harm to biodiversity. Planting in these locations could then allow agricultural land in other places to be restored to natural habitats, maximizing the benefits to biodiversity. (一项详细分析显示,与在其他地方种植相比,在中国和中欧等地的现有农业土地上种植能源作物可以diminish对生物多样性的损害。在这些地点种植,可以使其他地方的农业土地恢复为自然栖息地,从而最大限度地促进生物多样性)”可知,在现有农业土地上种植能源作物可以“减少”对生物多样性的危害,从而使其他地方恢复自然栖息地,最大化生物多样性益处。因此,diminish在此处意为“使某物变小或减少”,与Make something smaller“使得某物更小”意思相符。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段中““Yet, we are realists. In the future, more fuel will come from crops, and it is far better to plant them on existing farms than to destroy remaining natural habitats. We have shown that where you plant those crops makes a huge difference to how many species continue to grow healthily,” she added. (“然而,我们也很现实。未来,更多燃料将来自作物,而且在现有农田上种植作物远比破坏剩余的自然栖息地要好得多。我们已经证明,种植作物的地点对多少物种能够继续健康生长有着巨大影响,”她补充道)”可知,在当前农场上种植能源作物可以保护自然栖息地,避免破坏它们。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“However, food security, farmers’ willingness, and surrounding energy infrastructure (基础设施) are also important. “After all, we depend on them to grow crops,” she said. (然而,食品安全、农民的意愿和周围的能源基础设施也很重要。“毕竟,我们依靠它们来种植作物,”她说)”可知,除了生物多样性之外,还需要考虑许多其他因素。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段中“In a new study, researchers from the University of Surrey have shown that where you choose to plant energy crops makes a big difference to biodiversity. (在一项新研究中,萨里大学的研究人员发现,种植能源作物的地点对生物多样性有着重大影响)”可知,文章主要讲述了一项新的研究表明能源作物种植地点的选择对生物多样性有很大的影响。因此,文章的主旨大意是能源作物的种植地点影响生物多样性。故选D。

根据下面短文,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。
Reading enriches our lives and transforms us into individuals with good personal qualities. The more you read, the more you become civilized. Here are a few things I learned from reading books.
● You learn how to listen.
When you read, you focus on the book to understand whatever it is about. The amazing thing about it is that your opinion is not wanted. You learn to receive information without the need to say something. If you disagree in any way, you learn to silently digest the words you read, thinking why the author wrote that. ___16___
● You develop empathy (同理心).
If you listen with the purpose of understanding the other person, you learn to empathize. You try and analyze why a thing is said. Giving your unshakable attention to the book allows you to focus on only receiving the information. With that complete attention, you understand the story better. ___17___ You connect to the characters and feel for them.
● ___18___
They say that you are what you eat. ___19___ You’ll only take interest in books close to your heart. By judging the titles you have read, the better you understand your thinking process and eventually, you find who you are as a human being.
● You feel you are understood.
Whether in faith, relationships, or life, we have our personal opinions. But there are some ideas that are too risky to discuss with others. ___20___ Now you can say that you are not crazy for considering unusual ideas.
So, pick up a book and start your journey of self-discovery through reading.
A. You discover yourself.
B. You should respect different opinions in life.
C. But it’s more appropriate to say that you are what you read.
D. If you apply this to actual people, you would be a better listener.
E. When you read widely, you can expose yourself to different ideas.
F. As you read, you’ll be fortunate to find authors who think the same.
G. You understand the writer — the thoughts, emotions, beliefs that he wants you to know.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. A 19. C 20. F
【解析】

【17题详解】
根据上文“With that complete attention, you understand the story better.(全神贯注,你就能更好地理解故事)”和下文“You connect to the characters and feel for them.(你会与角色产生共鸣,为他们感同身受)”可知,上下文都是说理解故事和角色,G项“你理解了作者——包括他想让你知道的思想、情感和信仰”符合语境,故选G。
【18题详解】
空处是小标题,根据本段中“By judging the titles you have read, the better you understand your thinking process and eventually, you find who you are as a human being.(通过判断你读过的标题,你就能更好地理解你的思维过程,最终,你会发现你是一个什么样的人)”可知,本段是说阅读会让你发现真实的自己,A项“你发现了你自己”符合语境,故选A。
【19题详解】
上文“They say that you are what you eat.(他们说你吃什么就像什么)”提到他们说你吃什么就像什么,下文“By judging the titles you have read, the better you understand your thinking process and eventually, you find who you are as a human being.(通过判断你读过的标题,你就能更好地理解你的思维过程,最终,你会发现你是一个什么样的人)”提到阅读会让你发现真实的自己,故空处应是从“吃”过渡到“阅读”与自我的关系,C项“但更恰当的说法是,你就是你读什么就像什么”符合语境,故选C。
【20题详解】
上文“But there are some ideas that are too risky to discuss with others.(但有些想法风险太大,不宜与他人讨论)”提到,有时自己的一些疯狂的想法不宜与他人讨论,下文“Now you can say that you are not crazy for considering unusual ideas.(现在你可以说你没有因为考虑不寻常的想法而疯狂)”提到找到了共鸣的人,所以空处应是说通过阅读找到了与自己想法相似的人,F项“当你阅读的时候,你会很幸运地找到和你有同样想法的作者”符合语境,故选F。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Emma and I wanted a dog more than anything else. At night, we’d slip out to the roof to talk about dogs.
One summer night, as we sat together on the roof, Emma saw something. “What’s that?” She pointed down toward a dark shadow on our driveway. I followed her finger and saw a big, black dog with long, untidy hair. We climbed down the roof. Emma made a little kissing noise and held out her hand. It approached slowly. When she was close enough, I stroked her gently. She was so skinny that I could feel every bone, and her coat was full of dirt. She seemed to be a homeless dog.
We decided to bring her some food. I slid into the kitchen to fill a bowl with milk. She drank it quickly, but as soon as she finished, she disappeared into the bushes.
The next day, we used our pocket money to buy some food for the dog, who we named Elsa. We hid the food as we were afraid our parents wouldn’t approve of us feeding a homeless dog.
That night, as soon as we set a plate down, Elsa appeared almost as if from nowhere. She nosed at it, but for some reason she wouldn’t eat it.
“Come on,” I urged. “Let’s leave her alone and see what happens.” So we went in and hid to spy. Unexpectedly, Elsa grabbed the plate in her mouth and ran away. By the time we rushed back outside, she was long gone.
This went on a long time — four or five nights, maybe. The most unusual thing was that even though Elsa kept taking the food, she didn’t seem to be putting on any weight. If anything, she was getting even skinnier.
Then came that special night. Elsa came, but this time she barked at us, and ran back and forth. I ran my hand through her fur, “What’s it, Elsa? What do you want?”

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Elsa barked again, ran toward the bushes, and turned to see if we were following. We exchanged puzzled looks but decided to trust her. As we approached the bushes, we heard faint whimpering sounds. Elsa led us to a hidden spot where we found four tiny puppies, huddled together and shivering. It dawned on us that Elsa had been taking the food to feed her babies. She had been so skinny because she was sharing every meal with them.
Seeing this, we decided to take Elsa and her babies home together. We knew our parents might not be thrilled at first, but we couldn’t leave this little family out in the cold. We gently picked up the puppies, cradling them in our arms, while Elsa followed closely behind. When we explained the situation to our parents, they softened and agreed to let us keep them. From that day on, Elsa and her puppies became a beloved part of our family, and we learned the true meaning of love and responsibility.
