Since moving to Port Royal in 1964,he has lived as if he were in the 19th century,writing by hand and ploughing ()his fields with horses.His eight novels and more than 50 short stories are usually set in Port William,a stand-in for Port Royal.Nick Offerman,an actor,wanted to adapt his work for the screen.However,the actor was refused. In Mr Berry's opinion,humans must take care of the earth that grants them life."The soil is the greatest connector of lives,"he has written."Without proper care for it we can have no community." This philosophy dominates his writings.In The Unsettling of America,published in 1977,Mr Berry criticized the natural damage caused by large agribusinesses.He thinks capitalism has separated farming from culture and disconnected people from nature. Mr Berry's fiction explores the decline of values by following Port William's interconnected clans (as they enter the modem age.In Dismemberment,a short story,Andy Catlett loses a hand to a harvesting machine and becomes a loner.He sees his withdrawal is mistaken and reconnects with the town,finding "the wealth of an intimate history"in belonging to "his ancestral place".In Hannah Coulter,Mr Berry's seventh novel,the main character Hannah Coulter grows old after a sad life and anticipates loneliness when her children leave to find work in the city.Instead her hope is restored when her grandson returns to run the farm. These stories offer insightful advice for readers living through ecological disaster.Though few can return to farming basics,Mr Berry's messages of building communities,being a good neighbor and resisting the invitation of modern life are still valuable. 24.Why did Mr Berry's friends think he was mad? A.He turned down Offerman's request. B.He moved to live in the countryside. C.He wrote most of his novels by hand. D.He gave up his career as an intellectual.

When he and his partner arrive for a shift,"we first have to go through a'truck check'to see that the ambulance has all the necessary equipment,"Matthews tells Your Hot Job."Once we're ready to go,we're given a post."Then he and his partner respond to 911 calls made from that area.

D Across the flat plateau of AlUla in Saudi Arabia,shades of gray-brown soil are dotted with areas of dark rock-and a clearly defined circle of stones.Unmistakably constructed by humans,this structure,called "standing stone circles"by archaeologists,was built around 7,500 years ago by a people we barely know for a purpose we have long misunderstood. In 2019,archaeologists from the University of Western Australia began excavating (these standing stone circles.Their initial idea was that these were structures built by Neolithic nomads 石器时代的游牧民)for some long-forgotten religious practices.However,excavating at multiple sites,they found what turned out to be archaeological pay dirt-domestic rubbish.The remains of discarded animal bones,household tools,and even jewelry,have reclassified the standing stone circles as Neolithic homes. Standing stone circles seem to have sprung up around 5,800 to 5,500 B.C.This coincided with a warmer climate in the region that brought more regular rainfall and a landscape of rich grasses and trees,good conditions for raising cattle and goats.But these were also good conditions for building permanent structures.More abundant vegetation meant less pressure to keep moving the animals to fresh grasslands,which made building homes more worthwhile.This,and the plateau's abundance of stones,may have encouraged the nomads to stay a while and build. Excavations of these settlements are revealing something of this people's way of life.They kept cattle and goats for meat,but continued to hunt and gather to expand their diet with hare,fruits and nuts.The many grinding()stones found on the sites suggest inhabitants were regularly grinding grains,but these were likely to be gathered rather than farmed.The plateau sites have also revealed tools made with materials from the sandstone valleys and jewelry shaped from shells from the Red Sea-these Neolithic people had a complex culture involving travel and probably exchange. The revelation overturns many of our assumptions about Neolithic AlUla.Here was a people more settled and more civilized than history has given them credit for.Their story is just beginning to be revealed,but already a very different picture of early AIUla is emerging. 32.What did the 2019 excavation finally identify the "standing stone circles"as? A.Domestic buildings. B.Religious sites. C.Rubbish stations. D.Natural wonders. 33.What was a contributing factor in the building of the standing stone circles? A.The worsening climate. B.The richness of plants. C.The desire to raise more animals. D.The need to store goods. 34.What is most likely TRUE about Neolithic people's way of life in AlUla? A.They planted crops and kept cattle and goats. B.They relied entirely on hunting and gathering for food. C.They had interactions with other groups D.They made tools and jewelry purely from local materials. 35.What is the purpose of the text? 5 C扫描全能王 亿人幕在用的扫描 A.To provide some new insights. B.To introduce an ancient population. C.To promote a historical site. D.To argue for some long-held beliefs 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。 We all know that studying is boring.Every time you have to read a textbook or review for a test, you may start thinking of a million things you'd rather be doing like watching TV.36 Let's go through them,shall we? Get interested in the topic.To be able to dive into different aspects of any topic,you can't jump straight into the details.37That's why we should teach children how to build something in a video game before encouraging them to read through History and Theory of Architecture. Change your environment.Having an environment that's helpful to focus can make you enjoy your work.One tip is to add in things that you enjoy.For example,I have carefully selected some music that can help me focus.Another thing you can try is to go to your favorite coffee shop or your own secret spot in the library when you need to study.38 Get a study partner.Studying with a partner is great for making the act of studying less boring.39_You might distract(分散注意)each other.For example,I tried to study wit池my roommate,but we usually ended up playing online games.Besides,if you have some super-smart study partners,they will do all the homework and then you won't leamn anything. 40 Your desire to do a task partly depends on the reward you'll get for finishing it.Your pre-planned rewards can encourage you to work harder because you know you'll get something fun after completing it. A.Instead,you have to be excited about it first. B.Provide rewards for those who do jobs well. C:Personally,I've also found that having a good drink next to me helps a lot. D.However,there are two main points of failure that you have to watch out for. E.The key to finding study partners is to get those who focus on learning. F.Create mini-rewards for studying in advance. G.Today,we'll be covering some tricks you can use to make studying more fun. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项， In January,an abandoned(被抛弃的)dog wandered onto the property of M:Amos Lacey.His daughter,Doris,was out shoveling (snow when she41 the dog and took it inside.

It is believed that poetry is the combination of “sound” and “sense”. In terms of sound, rhymes and rhythm are two key elements in poetry. Thanks to them, a poem may seem much more easily understood. As for sense, it is the images created and emotions within that make poems beautiful and powerful. I'm really interested in poems and I wonder if you have other suggestions on appreciating them. For instance,how to get the same feeling as the writer's when reading the poem? Looking forward to your reply. Yours, Li Hua 读后续写 Lily sat down on the stairs next to him. "I thought what you did was very cool, Mike. I mean,bringing your grandma as a partner. That was very cool," she said. Mike raised his head,asking,“Really?”Lily nodded and explained, “Such a brilliant deed is it to help fulfill your grandma's long-cherished dream.” Plucking up his courage, Mike immediately jumped to his feet and rushed back towards the hall.When he returned with Lily, he instantly spotted Grandma in the crowd, who cast a broad smile at him.Ashamed but determined, Mike walked up firmly towards Alondra. Holding her hands, Mike cried, “Gran, sorry! Thanks for being my dance partner." “All right,"Alondra grinned at him. “I'm so glad you're back." Then, the two moved slowly to music together with other dancers, immersing themselves in the beautiful melody. The other kids watched their elegant movement with great admiration. That night, both of them enjoyed the sweet night, their heart overflowing with great joy. After the prom came to an end, Alondra whispered to Mike on their way back,"It is one of the best days of my life." A surge of pride welling up in Mike's heart, he was delighted he made the right decision. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
