Kelly Clarkson Wrote a Book Inspired by Her Daughter When Kelly Clarkson wrote River Rose and the Magical Lullaby, she named the main character after her young daughter. The story follows Rose, who finds herself in a magical dream world, led by the voice of her mother. At the end of the book, there’s a tie to a lullaby (摇篮曲) sung by Clarkson. She even said that writing the book was harder than any song she’s ever written, but she felt like she had to try. Jim Carrey Is on a Roll with This Book Jim Carrey’s new show, Kidding, on Showtime, is decidedly not for kids. His 2013 book, How Roland Rolls, however, is very much for the little ones. How Roland Rolls is about a wave who worries about what will happen when he finally hits the beach. His fear disappears when he realizes he’s more than just a wave, he’s the entire ocean! Jamie Lee Curtis Has Been Writing Since the’90s You might know her best from the Halloween film, but your kids know her best as the author of This Is Me: A Story of Who We Are and Where We Came from. This Is Me is a story about immigration (移民), Curtis says “Every person has an immigrant story in their family, and we’re losing that, I thought it was important to connect that thread back to who we are.” Steve Martin’s Books Prove He’s a Comedian For All Ages There’s a good chance that you grew up with Steve Martin. Now your kids can read his books, too. Since getting into children’s writing, Martin has written several books, including Late for School and The Alphabet from A to Y with Bonus Letter Z. Each letter of the alphabet (字母表) is paired with a poem by Martin. 1. What does Kelly Clarkson’s book deal with? A. A nursery rhyme. B. A mother’s dream. C. A fantasy story. D. A girl’s real experience. 2. What may How Roland Rolls help kids do? A. Find out the value of themselves. B. Get along well with their family. C. Increase their interest in films. D. Enjoy the ocean secrets. 3. Who wrote a book related to poetry? A. Jim Carrey. B. Kelly Clarkson. C. Steve Martin. D. Jamie Lee Curtis. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四本由名人撰写的儿童书籍，包括它们的主要内容和创作背景等。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Kelly Clarkson Wrote a Book Inspired by Her Daughter中“The story follows Rose, who finds herself in a magical dream world, led by the voice of her mother. (故事围绕着Rose展开，她发现自己在母亲的声音引导下进入了一个魔幻的梦境世界。)”可知，Kelly Clarkson的书讲述的是幻境中的故事。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jim Carrey Is on a Roll with This Book中“His fear disappears when he realizes he’s more than just a wave, he’s the entire ocean!( 他的恐惧消失了，当他意识到他不仅仅是一个波浪，他是整个海洋!)”可知，How Roland Rolls这本书讲述海浪意识到自己的价值，由此可知，这本书可以帮助孩子们找到自己的价值。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Since getting into children’s writing, Martin has written several books, including Late for School and The Alphabet from A to Y with Bonus Letter Z. Each letter of the alphabet is paired with a poem by Martin.( 自从接触儿童写作以来，马丁已经写了几本书，包括《上学迟到》和The Alphabet from A to Y with Bonus Letter Z。每个字母与马丁的一首诗配对。)”可知，Martin的作品The Alphabet from A to Y with Bonus Letter Z中的每个字母都附有一首诗。由此可知，Steve Martin的书和诗歌有关。故选C。 B Four years ago Alastair Driver was made director of Rewilding Britain, a charity with a mission to shake up conservation in the UK. Rewilding, in theory, is to restore land and let nature take back control. Once he got started, he fell in love with conservation all over again. Alastair’s goal is to make the concept mainstream. So far, he’s moving in the right direction. “The British government is including rewilding in future farming policy,” he says. If anyone knows what’s good for Britain’s wild spaces it’s Alastair. His father was a country naturalist, so the natural world played a big role in his life from an early age. After studying ecology at university, he went on to become a conservation officer for the Thames Water Authority, where he spent 34 years preserving rivers and wetlands. Then, in 2002, Alistair took charge of the Environment Agency, shaping national policy and strategy until 2016. Now, he believes rewilding is the next step for nature restoration in the UK and it needs to happen on a much larger scale. As such, Alastair spends most of his time travelling around the UK, meeting with landowners, advising them about the advantages of rewilding their land, and offering practical tips for getting started. In just four years, he’s seen a massive uptake in interest. In the early days, Alastair would literally ring around his contact list to get people involved; now, he can hardly cope with emails and calls coming his way. Part of this change is a symptom of the bigger environmental challenges facing mankind. “People are more aware of climate change and the biodiversity crisis,” he says. Towards the end of 2020, with Alastair’s continuous efforts, the Rewilding Network was launched, a platform where farmers and landowners can connect, share ideas, and seek expert advice. Currently, just over 200, 000 acres of land are being rewilded through the network. For Alastair, it’s a huge step in the right direction. 4. What is Alastair’s goal in Rewilding? A. To regain his interest in conservation. B. To force the government to make policies. C. To get the idea recognized by most people. D. To advertise the charity for more donations. 5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. What Alastair studied in the past. B. When Alastair started conservation. C. How Alastair’s father influences him. D. Why Alastair knows much about nature. 6. Why does people’s attitude towards rewilding change? A. Alastair puts efforts to promote rewilding. B. Alastair has faith in the value of rewilding. C. People face fewer environmental challenges. D. People are taught measures to rewild the land. 7. What can we learn from Alastair’s story? A. Don’t judge a book by its cover. B. Birds of a feather flock together. C. A devoted soul can achieve his goal. D. A man becomes learned by asking questions. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是Alastair Driver致力于野生化项目。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Alastair’s goal is to make the concept mainstream.（阿拉斯泰尔的目标是让这一概念成为主流。）”可知，阿拉斯泰尔在Rewilding中的目标是让这个想法得到大多数人的认可。故选C。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段的“His father was a country naturalist, so the natural world played a big role in his life from an early age. After studying ecology at university, he went on to become a conservation officer for the Thames Water Authority, where he spent 34 years preserving rivers and wetlands. Then, in 2002, Alistair took charge of the Environment Agency, shaping national policy and strategy until 2016.（他的父亲是一个乡村自然主义者，所以自然世界在他很小的时候就在他的生活中扮演了重要的角色。在大学学习生态学之后，他成为了泰晤士河水务局的一名保护官员，在那里他花了34年的时间保护河流和湿地。然后，在2002年，阿利斯泰尔掌管环境局，制定国家政策和战略直到2016年。）”可知，第二段主要讲的是Alastair Driver的学习和工作历程，因此是关于为什么阿拉斯泰尔对自然如此了解。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“As such, Alastair spends most of his time travelling around the UK, meeting with landowners, advising them about the advantages of rewilding their land, and offering practical tips for getting started.（因此，阿拉斯泰尔的大部分时间都在英国各地旅行，会见土地所有者，向他们建议重新野生化土地的好处，并提供实用的入门建议。）”可知，阿拉斯泰尔做了很多的努力，因此人们对野生动物的态度发生了变化是因为阿拉斯泰尔致力于促进野生动物回归。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Towards the end of 2020, with Alastair’s continuous efforts, the Rewilding Network was launched, a platform where farmers and landowners can connect, share ideas, and seek expert advice. Currently, just over 200, 000 acres of land are being rewilded through the network. For Alastair, it’s a huge step in the right direction.（到2020年底，在阿拉斯泰尔的持续努力下，野生动物重返网络(rewild Network)成立了，这是一个农民和土地所有者可以联系、分享想法和寻求专家建议的平台。目前，有超过20万英亩的土地正在通过这个网络进行野生化。对阿拉斯泰尔来说，这是朝着正确方向迈出的一大步。）”可知，在阿拉斯泰尔的持续努力下，野生化取得了很大的进展，因此这个故事告诉我们一个有热诚的灵魂能达到他的目标。故选C。 C Normally museums exhibit only a small part of their collections, but the Boijmans Van Beuningen gallery in Rotterdam is the first in the world to display the whole lot. Housed in a huge mirrored, bowl-shaped depot attached to the museum in the Dutch port city, its collection of 151,000 artworks by artists including Vincent van Gogh and Oscar-Claude Monet will be accessible to visitors from Saturday. “It is the only fully accessible depot, public depot that is open in the world,” museum director Sjarel Ex told AFP as media toured the building on Tuesday ahead of the opening. “What happens here is that you do not follow the script that was written by a curator. You see things by accident, and you feel that you are discovering things.” “Normally, only some 6 to 10 percent of collections at major museums around the world like the Boijmans Van Beuningen are on display, and the rest kept in closed storage depots,” said Ex. That will now change for the Rotterdam institution. Visitors will even be able to watch works being restored. “If you do not show the works, people will stop talking about and thinking about an artwork. As a result, it is very likely that it is into oblivion—out of sight,” he said. The project, whose cost was around 92 million euros has mainly been covered by private donations, features five different temperature zones for different types of artworks. The depot was originally created to solve a very serious problem-the possibility of flooding in a low-lying country where a third of the land sits below sea level. The old basement below the museum was likely to let in water, making it unsuitable for storage. “Every building is a moment in time, so this celebrates for sure the climate,” said its architect, Winy Maas. “Why? Because it’s the reason for the existence of this building-the former archives were under water. It was flooding, so we have to bring it up.” 8. What makes the Boijmans Van Beuningen gallery special? A. It lies on a site below sea level. B. Most of its collections are donations. C. It has the most collections in the world. D. It is the world’s first museum to exhibit all collections. 9. What do we know from Sjarel Ex’s words? A. Collections are not supposed to be shown. B. Visitors can discover the collections in person. C. The curator guides visitors around the museum. D. The depot is just open to the public occasionally. 10. What does the underlined word “oblivion” mean in paragraph 4? A. Honor. B. Forgetfulness. C. Memory. D. Preservation. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. A Dutch Museum Was Rebuilt After Being Damaged By Flood B. The Boijmans Van Beuningen Gallery Held Its First Exhibition C. A Museum Opens Its Entire Art Collections in The Globe First D. Major Museums In The World Will Display The Whole Collections 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要说明了鹿特丹的博伊曼斯·范·伯宁根画廊是世界上第一个展出全部藏品的画廊，文章介绍了该博物馆的一些情况以及博物馆进行这一举措的原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Normally museums exhibit only a small part of their collections, but the Boijmans Van Beuningen gallery in Rotterdam is the first in the world to display the whole lot.(通常博物馆只展出一小部分藏品，但鹿特丹的博伊曼斯·范·伯宁根画廊是世界上第一个展出全部藏品的画廊)”可知，博伊曼斯·范·伯宁根画廊是世界上第一个展出所有收藏品的博物馆，所以很特别。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“You see things by accident, and you feel that you are discovering things.(你偶然看到一些东西，你觉得你正在发现一些东西)”可知，参观者可以亲自发现藏品。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“If you do not show the works, people will stop talking about and thinking about an artwork.”以及后文“out of sight”可知，如果你不展示作品，人们就会停止谈论和思考艺术品，结果就是，它很可能会因为被人看不见而遗忘，故画线词意思是“遗忘”。A. Honor.荣誉；B. Forgetfulness.遗忘；C. Memory.记忆；D. Preservation.保护。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Normally museums exhibit only a small part of their collections, but the Boijmans Van Beuningen gallery in Rotterdam is the first in the world to display the whole lot.(通常博物馆只展出一小部分藏品，但鹿特丹的博伊曼斯·范·伯宁根画廊是世界上第一个展出全部藏品的画廊)”结合文章主要说明了鹿特丹的博伊曼斯·范·伯宁根画廊是世界上第一个展出全部藏品的画廊，文章介绍了该博物馆的一些情况以及博物馆进行这一举措的原因。可知，C选项“一个首先在全球开放它的全部艺术收藏的博物馆”最符合文章标题。故选C。 D Environmental pollution and other human activities are leading to thousands of deaths among seabirds, a new study has warned. Ecological experts tracked the behavior of British and Irish seabirds. They used satellites to track hundreds of the creatures to find out where they went to catch fish in the sea. The study can help assess the potential impact of human activities and where protected areas of the sea should be. More than 1,300 adult birds from 29 different colonies around the UK and Ireland were researched, including kittiwakes, shags, razorbills and guillemots. Results from the five-year study showed the large areas of the sea the four seabird species use. They found that it was at least 600,000 square miles, an area three times the size of Spain. It showed how far they travelled from their nests in search of food for their chicks. And it showed the use of the sea by all four species concentrated in the coastal waters of Scotland, highlighting the importance of conservation measures there. The four species studied require conservation help, with kittiwake numbers declining by 71 percent in the past 25 years and shag populations down by 61 percent. This means both seabirds are “red-listed” and need urgent protection. Razorbills and guillemots are “amber-listed”, which means they are considered to need conservation action. Dr. Ewan, lead author of the research, said, “Many seabirds are at the top of the marine food web. They feed on some small fish but that prey (猎物) is declining because of human pressure, including climate change. The result is that thousands of baby seabirds are dying each year because their parents can’t feed them. For the first time, this study provides us with a full map of the feeding areas for some of our most important seabird species.” “The analysis provides critical data to inform marine management,” the experts said. 12. How did the experts track the seabirds? A. With the help of satellites. B. With the help of the fishermen. C. By observing human activities. D. By feeding the seabirds. 13. Which is one of the purposes of the study? A. To find out where to catch more fish. B. To judge which areas of the sea should be protected. C. To know the seabirds’ impacts on human beings. D. To study the behavior of British and Irish seabirds. 14. On which country’s coast would most tracked seabirds gather? A. France. B. Ireland. C. Spain. D. Scotland. 15. What’s Dr. Ewan’s attitude towards the research? A. Puzzled. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Disappointed. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项新的研究警告说，环境污染和其他人类活动正在导致成千上万的海鸟死亡。解释了研究开展的经过以及发现。 12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Ecological experts tracked the behavior of British and Irish seabirds. They used satellites to track hundreds of the creatures to find out where they went to catch fish in the sea.(生态专家追踪了英国和爱尔兰海鸟的行为。他们用卫星追踪了数百只这种生物，以找出它们去海里捕鱼的地方)”可知，专家们在卫星的帮助下追踪海鸟。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The study can help assess the potential impact of human activities and where protected areas of the sea should be.(这项研究可以帮助评估人类活动的潜在影响，以及海洋保护区的位置)”可知，这项研究的目的之一是判断哪些海域应该受到保护。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“And it showed the use of the sea by all four species concentrated in the coastal waters of Scotland, highlighting the importance of conservation measures there.(它显示了所有四种物种对海洋的利用都集中在苏格兰的沿海水域，突出了保护措施的重要性)”可知，大多数被追踪的海鸟会聚集在苏格兰的海岸。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Dr. Ewan所说的“For the first time, this study provides us with a full map of the feeding areas for some of our most important seabird species.(这项研究首次为我们提供了一些最重要的海鸟物种觅食区域的完整地图)”可推知，Ewan博士对这项研究持积极的态度。故选C。 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。 “Exercise snack” does good. Health experts used to say you needed to exercise for at least ten minutes at a time to gain any benefits. ____16____That’s why the WHO’s Guidelines on Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior no longer recommends a minimum time for an exercise session. Meanwhile, scientists have adopted the term “exercise snack” to refer to bursts of physical activity that take little time. ____17____ It’s still ideal to get longer exercise sessions regularly, but you’ll benefit from any amount that you can fit into your day. ____18____ Lifting your voice in a choir (合唱团) has cognitive (认知的) benefits, according to a Finnish study published in Plos One. The study found that elderly singers had better verbal fluency compared to non-singers. This makes sense, since it’s a hobby that requires attention, information processing, linguistic output, learning and memory. Parkinson’s patients should hit the links. ____19____ But many patients lack the motivation. In an effort to identify a physical activity that’s beneficial, research presented at the American Academy of Neurology compared tai chi — which is known to greatly improve balance and prevent falls — to golf, a favourite sport of many people over 55. ____20____ Just as importantly, 86 per cent of golfers said they were “definitely” likely to continue the activity after the study’s end, compared to 33 per cent of the tai chi group. A. Choir singing boosts the brain. B. Developing hobbies improves memory. C. Short bursts of exercise will benefit the health in the short term. D. However, evidence has shown that anything is better than nothing. E. The patients playing golf saw their balance and walking ability improve. F. Exercise is one of the most powerful treatments for people with Parkinson’s disease. G. Examples include a few push-ups, 60 seconds on an bike, or a jog up a flight of stairs. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18.

By the time he got to university in Bath to study Chemistry it had got to the point where he couldn’t really see images at all, only the difference between light and dark. And a few years later, he was almost 100% blind. Jesse’s mum was a teacher and his dad ran a charity and they’ve always encouraged and supported him in everything. Jesse started climbing when he was young. His dad took him up his first rock route when he was two. All his early climbing was outdoor traditional climbing. His dad had been in the Mountain Rescue and was part of a mountaineering club, so they would go for weekends away climbing throughout the UK. Jesse’s father taught him everything and guided his first route outside when he was 11. At this time he had about 30% blurry (模糊不清的) central vision. He could just see well enough to place rock equipment, but not well enough to pick out the routes from the ground. At university he joined the Mountaineering Club and was able to climb much more frequently. They had regular trips to indoor walls and weekends away outdoors. He developed a great circle of climbing friends and went on multiple trips to Europe. On these he started Alpine climbing and ice climbing too. But when his sight dropped to a level where he could no longer read, it started to be difficult to place equipment as he couldn’t see whether it was properly seated. He also stopped being able to pick out the holds at indoor walls. Jesse thought he might have to give up climbing as his eyesight got worse. But his parents never give up hopes for him. They planned a climbing for the family and encouraged Jesse to have a try again. Jesse smiled because he knew his parents would always be his best guide. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was route like milestone (里程碑) and it was not easy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Some people asked Jesse why he chose to try climbing. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： It was route like milestone and it was not easy.

Jim Carrey Is on a Roll with This Book Jim Carrey’s new show, Kidding, on Showtime, is decidedly not for kids. His 2013 book, How Roland Rolls, however, is very much for the little ones.

B Four years ago Alastair Driver was made director of Rewilding Britain, a charity with a mission to shake up conservation in the UK. Rewilding, in theory, is to restore land and let nature take back control. Once he got started, he fell in love with conservation all over again. Alastair’s goal is to make the concept mainstream. So far, he’s moving in the right direction. “The British government is including rewilding in future farming policy,” he says. If anyone knows what’s good for Britain’s wild spaces, it’s Alastair. His father was a country naturalist, so the natural world played a big role in his life from an early age. After studying ecology at university, he went on to become a conservation officer for the Thames Water Authority, where he spent 34 years preserving rivers and wetlands. Then, in 2002, Alistair took charge of the Environment Agency, shaping national policy and strategy until 2016. Now, he believes rewilding is the next step for nature restoration in the UK and it needs to happen on a much larger scale. As such, Alastair spends most of his time travelling around the UK, meeting with landowners, advising them about the advantages of rewilding their land, and offering practical tips for getting started. In just four years, he’s seen a massive uptake in interest. In the early days, Alastair would literally ring around his contact list to get people involved; now, he can hardly cope with emails and calls coming his way. Part of this change is a symptom of the bigger environmental challenges facing mankind. “People are more aware of climate change and the biodiversity crisis,” he says. Towards the end of 2020, with Alastair’s continuous efforts, the Rewilding Network was launched, a platform where farmers and landowners can connect, share ideas, and seek expert advice. Currently, just over 200, 000 acres of land are being rewilded through the network. For Alastair, it’s a huge step in the right direction. 4. What is Alastair’s goal in Rewilding? A. To regain his interest in conservation. B To force the government to make policies. C. To get the idea recognized by most people. D. To advertise the charity for more donations. 5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. What Alastair studied in the past. B. When Alastair started conservation. C How Alastair’s father influences him. D. Why Alastair knows much about nature. 6. Why does people’s attitude towards rewilding change? A. Alastair puts efforts to promote rewilding. B. Alastair has faith in the value of rewilding. C. People face fewer environmental challenges. D. People are taught measures to rewild the land. 7. What can we learn from Alastair’s story? A. Don’t judge a book by its cover. B. Birds of a feather flock together. C. A devoted soul can achieve his goal. D. A man becomes learned by asking questions. C Normally museums exhibit only a small part of their collections, but the Boijmans Van Beuningen gallery in Rotterdam is the first in the world to display the whole lot. Housed in a huge mirrored, bowl-shaped depot attached to the museum in the Dutch port city, its collection of 151,000 artworks by artists including Vincent van Gogh and Oscar-Claude Monet will be accessible to visitors from Saturday. “It is the only fully accessible depot, public depot that is open in the world,” museum director Sjarel Ex told AFP as media toured the building on Tuesday ahead of the opening. “What happens here is that you do not follow the script that was written by a curator. You see things by accident, and you feel that you are discovering things.” “Normally, only some 6 to 10 percent of collections at major museums around the world like the Boijmans Van Beuningen are on display, and the rest kept in closed storage depots,” said Ex. That will now change for the Rotterdam institution. Visitors will even be able to watch works being restored. “If you do not show the works, people will stop talking about and thinking about an artwork. As a result, it is very likely that it is into oblivion—out of sight,” he said. The project, whose cost was around 92 million euros has mainly been covered by private donations, features five different temperature zones for different types of artworks. The depot was originally created to solve a very serious problem-the possibility of flooding in a low-lying country where a third of the land sits below sea level. The old basement below the museum was likely to let in water, making it unsuitable for storage. “Every building is a moment in time, so this celebrates for sure the climate,” said its architect, Winy Maas. “Why? Because it’s the reason for the existence of this building-the former archives were under water. It was flooding, so we have to bring it up.” 8. What makes the Boijmans Van Beuningen gallery special? A. It lies on a site below sea level. B. Most of its collections are donations. C. It has the most collections in the world. D. It is the world’s first museum to exhibit all collections. 9. What do we know from Sjarel Ex’s words? A. Collections are not supposed to be shown. B. Visitors can discover the collections in person. C. The curator guides visitors around the museum. D. The depot is just open to the public occasionally. 10. What does the underlined word “oblivion” mean in paragraph 4? A. Honor. B. Forgetfulness. C. Memory. D. Preservation. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. A Dutch Museum Was Rebuilt After Being Damaged By Flood B. The Boijmans Van Beuningen Gallery Held Its First Exhibition C A Museum Opens Its Entire Art Collections in The Globe First D. Major Museums In The World Will Display The Whole Collections D Environmental pollution and other human activities are leading to thousands of deaths among seabirds, a new study has warned. Ecological experts tracked the behavior of British and Irish seabirds. They used satellites to track hundreds of the creatures to find out where they went to catch fish in the sea. The study can help assess the potential impact of human activities and where protected areas of the sea should be. More than 1,300 adult birds from 29 different colonies around the UK and Ireland were researched, including kittiwakes, shags, razorbills and guillemots. Results from the five-year study showed the large areas of the sea the four seabird species use. They found that it was at least 600,000 square miles, an area three times the size of Spain. It showed how far they travelled from their nests in search of food for their chicks. And it showed the use of the sea by all four species concentrated in the coastal waters of Scotland, highlighting the importance of conservation measures there. The four species studied require conservation help with kittiwake numbers declining by 71 percent in the past 25 years and shag populations down by 61 percent. This means both seabirds are “red-listed” and need urgent protection. Razorbills and guillemots are “amber-listed”, which means they are considered to need conservation action. Dr. Ewan, lead author of the research, said, “Many seabirds are at the top of the marine food web. They feed on some small fish but that prey (猎物) is declining because of human pressure, including climate change. The result is that thousands of baby seabirds are dying each year because their parents can’t feed them. For the first time, this study provides us with a full map of the feeding areas for some of our most important seabird species.” “The analysis provides critical data to inform marine management,” the experts said. 12. How did the experts track the seabirds? A. With the help of satellites. B. With the help of the fishermen. C. By observing human activities. D. By feeding the seabirds. 13. Which is one of the purposes of the study? A. To find out where to catch more fish. B. To judge which areas of the sea should be protected. C. To know the seabirds’ impacts on human beings. D. To study the behavior of British and Irish seabirds. 14. On which country’s coast would most tracked seabirds gather? A. France. B. Ireland. C. Spain. D. Scotland. 15. What’s Dr. Ewan’s attitude towards the research? A. Puzzled. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Disappointed. 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。 “Exercise snack” does good. Health experts used to say you needed to exercise for at least ten minutes at a time to gain any benefits. ____16____That’s why the WHO’s Guidelines on Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior no longer recommends a minimum time for an exercise session. Meanwhile, scientists have adopted the term “exercise snack” to refer to bursts of physical activity that take little time. ____17____ It’s still ideal to get longer exercise sessions regularly, but you’ll benefit from any amount that you can fit into your day. ____18____ Lifting your voice in a choir (合唱团) has cognitive (认知的) benefits, according to a Finnish study published in Plos One. The study found that elderly singers had better verbal fluency compared to non-singers. This makes sense, since it’s a hobby that requires attention, information processing, linguistic output, learning and memory. Parkinson’s patients should hit the links. ____19____ But many patients lack the motivation. In an effort to identify a physical activity that’s beneficial, research presented at the American Academy of Neurology compared tai chi — which is known to greatly improve balance and prevent falls — to golf, a favourite sport of many people over 55. ____20____ Just as importantly, 86 per cent of golfers said they were “definitely” likely to continue the activity after the study’s end, compared to 33 per cent of the tai chi group. A. Choir singing boosts the brain. B. Developing hobbies improves memory. C. Short bursts of exercise will benefit the health in the short term. D. However, evidence has shown that anything is better than nothing. E. The patients playing golf saw their balance and walking ability improve. F.

By the time he got to university in Bath to study Chemistry it had got to the point where he couldn’t really see images at all, only the difference between light and dark. And a few years later, he was almost 100% blind. Jesse’s mum was a teacher and his dad ran a charity, and they’ve always encouraged and supported him in everything. Jesse started climbing when he was young. His dad took him up his first rock route when he was two. All his early climbing was outdoor traditional climbing. His dad had been in the Mountain Rescue and was part of a mountaineering club, so they would go for weekends away climbing throughout the UK. Jesse’s father taught him everything and guided his first route outside when he was 11. At this time he had about 30% blurry (模糊不清的) central vision. He could just see well enough to place rock equipment, but not well enough to pick out the routes from the ground. At university he joined the Mountaineering Club and was able to climb much more frequently. They had regular trips to indoor walls and weekends away outdoors. He developed a great circle of climbing friends and went on multiple trips to Europe. On these he started Alpine climbing and ice climbing too. But when his sight dropped to a level where he could no longer read, it started to be difficult to place equipment as he couldn’t see whether it was properly seated. He also stopped being able to pick out the holds at indoor walls. Jesse thought he might have to give up climbing as his eyesight got worse. But his parents never give up hopes for him. They planned a climbing for the family and encouraged Jesse to have a try again. Jesse smiled because he knew his parents would always be his best guide. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was route like milestone (里程碑) and it was not easy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Some people asked Jesse why he chose to try climbing. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
