Three More Ways to Connect with Sumba Nature
Seek serenity in the surf
About three miles west of Occy’s Left, Pantai Beach lures surfers with its long right-hander, with more breaks to be found further north up the coast. Bring your own board or rent from Sumba Surf School at Pantai Beach. Surf conditions are ideal March to November though beginners may prefer the calmer waves from December to February. Advanced surfers occasionally brave the swell at Pantai Beach year-round, but equipment rentals are limited outside peak season.
Go chasing waterfalls
About two hours’ drive northwest of Waingapu, the largest town in eastern Sumba is Air Terjun Tanggedu — arguably Sumba’s finest waterfall, with terraces feeding into cyan pools you can paddle in. Locals also recommend the smaller but picturesque Waimarang Waterfall near Waingapu for a quicker visit. Closer to Nihi (roughly a 90-minute drive), is the lovely Lapopu Waterfall, a 10-minute walk from the access road. While Lapopu is easier to reach, its single cascade is less dramatic than Tanggedu’s multi-tiered falls. Rent a car or book a trip with a local tour operator such as Explore Sumba. exploresumba.com
Hike it out
A network of rugged walking trails lacing Sumba weaves along rocky cliffs, through forests filled with endemic plants, and into traditional hilltop villages. Some trails are marked with faded signs, but these can be misleading after rainy seasons. To ensure you don’t get lost, it’s best to hire a guide. While GPS maps exist, spotty signal and overgrown paths make them unreliable.
21. When do beginners prefer to surf at Pantai Beach?
A. January to May. B. March to November.
C. All year round. D. December to February.
22. Which waterfall is described as “arguably Sumba’s finest”?
A. Lapopu Waterfall. B. Waimarang Waterfall.
C. Air Terjun Tanggedu. D. Occy’s Left.
23. According to the article, why is hiring a guide recommended for hiking in Sumba?
A. Because you may get lost. B. Because trails are unmarked.
C. Because guides provide free equipment. D. Because GPS maps are entirely unavailable.
B
Artist Tom Campbell has exhibited his work at Outlaw Studios at Marina Commercial Park. The exhibition is Tom’s largest one to date and includes affordable art. The interactive show is made up of drawings, paintings, sculptures and live performances. Throughout the exhibition, Tom is working, giving the public an opportunity to watch inside his studio and have their portraits drawn. People can also commission a piece of their choosing.
Wall painting is part of Tom’s output. He has created a wall painting for Electric Picnic, along with four other artists invited to take part in this commission. His wall painting has a special theme, portrayed by doves (鸽子). As well as his anti-war standpoint, he is doing something meaningful. Tom is a founding member of a tree planting project called Trees Please. The group has distributed 10,000 trees in about four years across Ireland.
Humour is also important for Tom in his art. He can treat heavy subjects with irony, often employing an aggressive combination of lively colors and animals with wistful expressions communicating the importance of respect, peace, understanding and love. He has done creative work for mental health charities.
Tom was born with a love for art. He enjoys playing musical instruments in public, like the violin. He gets lots of smiles from people. He also sings and has an online channel featuring his songs, which are very improvised (即兴的). All this creativity is a lifeline for him, who believes that art is a necessity rather than a luxury.
Art is something everybody can do. If creativity was embraced by people in an open way, it could transform society. Art can bring a lot of joy. Everyone is creative and enjoys creativity whether it’s music or visual art or whatever.
24. What do we know about Tom’s exhibition?
A. It is targeted at the rich.
B. It takes on a variety of forms.
C. It is the largest one throughout art history.
D. It offers an opportunity to practise drawing.
25. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Tom?
A. His sense of humor and creativity.
B. His effort to protect plants and animals.
C. His advice on painting and planting trees.
D. His passion for peace and the environment.
26. What can we learn from Tom’s improvised songs?
A. He has creative talent. B. Art is a luxury.
C. Art has no boundaries. D. He is popular in public.
27. In which column of a magazine can the text probably appear?
A. Literature. B. Finance. C. Figure. D. Society.
C
Humans have long known that being in nature is good for the mind and body. From indigenous (本土的) adolescents completing the adult ceremony in the wild to modern East Asian cultures taking “forest baths”, many have looked to nature as a place for healing and personal growth. But the question still remains. How can nature make it?
There is no doubt that being in nature reduces the physiological symptoms of stress in our bodies. What this means is that we are less likely to be anxious and fearful in nature, and therefore we can be more open to other people and creative patterns of thought. Also, nature often leads to awe, wonder and respect, all these emotions facilitating everything from physical to mental health. There is also some evidence that exposure to nature impacts the brain. Viewing natural beauty makes specific reward circuits in the brain associated with dopamine release, a chemical that gives us a sense of purpose, joy and energy to pursue our goals.
But, regrettably, people seem to be spending less time outdoors and less time in nature than before. It is also clear that, in the past 30 years, people’s levels of stress and sense of “busyness” have risen dramatically. These joint forces have led environmental writer Richard Louv to coin the term “Nature Deficit Disorder”—a form of suffering that comes from a sense of disconnection from nature and its powers.
Perhaps we should take note and try a course corrective. The 19th century philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote about nature, “There I feel that nothing can befall me in life—no disgrace, no calamity.” The science speaks to Emerson’s intuition. It’s time to realize that nature is more than just a material resource. It’s also a pathway to human health and happiness.
28. Why are “indigenous adolescents” and “modern East Asian cultures” mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To clarify a viewpoint. B. To answer the question below.
C. To present the natural scenery. D. To show the cultural differences.
29. What does the underlined word “facilitating” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Restricting. B. Exposing. C. Promoting. D. Covering.
30. What is the tone of the author in writing paragraph 3?
A. Uneasy. B. Indifferent. C. Humorous. D. Proud.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Is It Time to Challenge Yourself in Nature?
B. Do You Know Nature Is a Material Resource?
C. Why Do We Care about the Natural Environment?
D. What Can Happen When We Connect with Nature?
D
Research led by ecologist Bart Hoekstra of the University of Amsterdam shows that birds are affected by the mass use of fireworks on New Year’s Eve up to a distance of 10 km (6 miles) away.
With data from weather radars and bird counts an international team of researchers revealed how many birds take off immediately after the start of the fireworks, at what distance from fireworks this occurs and which species groups mainly react. “Birds take off as a result of an acute flight response due to sudden noise and light. We already knew that many water birds react strongly, but now we also see the effect on other birds throughout the Netherlands, ”says ecologist Bart Hoekstra of the University of Amsterdam. In the scientific journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, the researchers therefore argue for large fireworks-free zones.
Last year, other researchers at IBED discovered that geese are so affected by fireworks that they spend an average of 10% longer looking for food than normal during at least the next 11 days. They apparently need that time to restore their energy to their former condition, after fleeing from the fireworks.
Because 62% of all birds in the Netherlands live within a radius of 2. 5 km of inhabited areas, the consequences of fireworks are high for all birds throughout the country. “Flying requires a lot of energy, so ideally birds should be disturbed as little as possible during the cold winter months. Measures to ensure this are especially important in open areas such as grasslands, where many larger birds spend the winter. The effects of fireworks on birds are less pronounced near forests and semi-open habitats. In addition, smaller birds such as tits and finches live there, which are less likely to fly away from disturbance.”
The authors argue for fireworks-free zones in areas where large birds live. Hoekstra: “These buffer zones could be smaller in areas where light and sound travel less far, such as near forests. Furthermore, fireworks should mainly be lit at central locations in built-up areas, as far away from birds as possible. It would be best for birds if we moved towards light shows without sound, such as drone shows or decorative fireworks without very loud bangs.”
32. What can we learn about the research?
A. It’s the first one about fireworks’ effects on birds.
B. It’s conducted by collecting data from weather radars.
C. It shows the extent of the fireworks’ influence on birds.
D. It keeps track of birds throughout Netherlands and beyond.
33. Why did geese spend more time looking for food?
A. To make up for the lost energy. B. To store more food in case.
C. To find a new source of energy. D. To find a place without fireworks.
34. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in Para. 4 mean?
A. Predictable. B. Noticeable.
C. Admirable. D. Avoidable.
35. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Panic in the air B. Fireworks-free zones
C. Fireworks in the world D. Birds throughout the country

Learn from Regrets
In daily life, everyone may have regrets, but do you know how to learn from regrets? ____36____ Instead of letting a failed relationship make you miserable, you simply wish it turned out differently. You can be honest with yourself about what went wrong and use that knowledge to enjoy better relationships in the future. Here are some steps you can take.
Overcome the fear. People often say their regrets always trouble them and even cast a shadow over their mind. Bring your mind out of the shadow by making a list of your regrets. ____37____ Be honest without worrying too much. You will find that the list is a lot less frightening.
____38____ After you make a mistake, life moves on. But sometimes you just can’t stop kicking yourself. Perhaps you didn’t pay much attention to studies years ago, and now you are constantly imagining how excellent you are if you could have studied hard. Blaming yourself makes no sense. Resolve to commute your emotional sentence with a simple verbal declaration: I apologize to myself and will not waste another minute of my life reliving a decision that cannot be changed.
Treasure regrets. Regrets are essential throughout your life. ____39____ Instead, the value of the previous regrets is that they will serve as a constant reminder for your future’s opportunities and relationships.
In conclusion, your regrets can teach you to become smarter and more successful—if you let them do. So it’s time to make your list of regrets, outline your resolutions and change your inappropriate behavior. ____40____
A. Forgive yourself.
B. Focus on studies.
C. You can write down why each one still bothers you and its effects.
D. Piling a list of regrets in front of you can make others feel frightened.
E. The trick is not to get rid of the bad feeling but use it for improvement.
F. Also invest your own skills and improvement right now and get started.
G. If you didn’t experience regrets, you would repeat the same wrong behaviors.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整短文。
Mom always has the purse with her. The purse contains a receipt for everything she has purchased since around 1980. At first, the purse was relatively normal in size, but over the years it has expanded to what seems like two feet in width. It is hopelessly, permanently open and overflowing. I always hated the purse.
Last Friday afternoon, I called Mom to tell her I had some lab work that needed to be done at school. So, I would be home late. Instead, my friend Heather and I went directly to the movies after school. When we came out, to my complete horror, Mom was standing there with the purse. She’d taken my sister to the movies as well.
Surprisingly, Mom smiled at me, and then at Heather, and invited us to dinner. It seems she had a coupon(优惠券) for McDonald’s. A coupon? What were we, homeless? I couldn’t believe she suggested a coupon in front of Heather.
And just when I thought things couldn’t get worse she started looking for the coupon. Oh no! Not the purse! She put the purse onto a resting chair outside the theater and began shuffling through(胡乱翻动) the papers. Then, all of a sudden, it dropped to the ground. Each one of those million receipts ended up on the ground, too. Crowds of people were stepping on all those papers.
That’s when I lost it. The words just came out. “I can’t believe you!” I shouted. “You are totally embarrassing me! Why do you have to carry all this useless stuff with you all the time?” My mom and my sister were on their knees picking up all those little pieces of paper. We left the theater and drove Heather home in silence.
Mom didn’t speak to me for the rest of the weekend. I came home from school on Monday and walked in as usual. I went up to my room to do some homework. It was silent. I felt bad. And I wanted to go down there and talk to her.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Paragraph1:
I finally got up the courage to go down there.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【解析】
【原文】M: Hello! My name is Harry Menzies. I ordered a pool table online from your shop last Tuesday and it arrived only three days later. I was amazed and very happy at the speed of service, although the outer packing was a little damaged. Then, unfortunately, the problems started.
I had to put together the pool table and this was quite difficult. The first major complaint I have is that the instruction booklet included was written only in Spanish and Polish. I don’t think this is very helpful for me. I can’t believe you wouldn’t include the instructions in English. Anyway, I managed to follow the diagrams and get the pool table put together in about two hours.
Once I had put it together, I noticed the white ball wasn’t there. How am I supposed to be able to play any games without the white ball? It’s obvious that the table was faulty.
The roll of the balls was not very true — they kept curving to the left or the right so I think there’s a problem with the table. So I don’t want to spend $800 for a pool table that can’t be used!
My customer number is 45993. The order number was GH12388. You can get in touch with me on my home phone number: 348-28841. Please get in touch with me as soon as possible to let me know how we can resolve these problems. I really hope to hear from you as soon as possible.

Three More Ways to Connect with Sumba Nature
Seek serenity in the surf
About three miles west of Occy’s Left, Pantai Beach lures surfers with its long right-hander, with more breaks to be found further north up the coast. Bring your own board or rent from Sumba Surf School at Pantai Beach. Surf conditions are ideal March to November though beginners may prefer the calmer waves from December to February. Advanced surfers occasionally brave the swell at Pantai Beach year-round, but equipment rentals are limited outside peak season.
Go chasing waterfalls
About two hours’ drive northwest of Waingapu, the largest town in eastern Sumba is Air Terjun Tanggedu — arguably Sumba’s finest waterfall, with terraces feeding into cyan pools you can paddle in. Locals also recommend the smaller but picturesque Waimarang Waterfall near Waingapu for a quicker visit. Closer to Nihi (roughly a 90-minute drive), is the lovely Lapopu Waterfall, a 10-minute walk from the access road. While Lapopu is easier to reach, its single cascade is less dramatic than Tanggedu’s multi-tiered falls. Rent a car or book a trip with a local tour operator such as Explore Sumba. exploresumba.com
Hike it out
A network of rugged walking trails lacing Sumba weaves along rocky cliffs, through forests filled with endemic plants, and into traditional hilltop villages. Some trails are marked with faded signs, but these can be misleading after rainy seasons. To ensure you don’t get lost, it’s best to hire a guide. While GPS maps exist, spotty signal and overgrown paths make them unreliable.
21. When do beginners prefer to surf at Pantai Beach?
A. January to May. B. March to November.
C. All year round. D. December to February.
22. Which waterfall is described as “arguably Sumba’s finest”?
A. Lapopu Waterfall. B. Waimarang Waterfall.
C. Air Terjun Tanggedu. D. Occy’s Left.
23. According to the article, why is hiring a guide recommended for hiking in Sumba?
A. Because you may get lost. B. Because trails are unmarked.
C. Because guides provide free equipment. D. Because GPS maps are entirely unavailable.
【答案】21. D 22. C 23. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。介绍了与松巴大自然联系的三种方式。

Artist Tom Campbell has exhibited his work at Outlaw Studios at Marina Commercial Park. The exhibition is Tom’s largest one to date and includes affordable art. The interactive show is made up of drawings, paintings, sculptures and live performances. Throughout the exhibition, Tom is working, giving the public an opportunity to watch inside his studio and have their portraits drawn. People can also commission a piece of their choosing.
Wall painting is part of Tom’s output. He has created a wall painting for Electric Picnic, along with four other artists invited to take part in this commission. His wall painting has a special theme, portrayed by doves (鸽子). As well as his anti-war standpoint, he is doing something meaningful. Tom is a founding member of a tree planting project called Trees Please. The group has distributed 10,000 trees in about four years across Ireland.
Humour is also important for Tom in his art. He can treat heavy subjects with irony, often employing an aggressive combination of lively colors and animals with wistful expressions communicating the importance of respect, peace, understanding and love. He has done creative work for mental health charities.
Tom was born with a love for art. He enjoys playing musical instruments in public, like the violin. He gets lots of smiles from people. He also sings and has an online channel featuring his songs, which are very improvised (即兴的). All this creativity is a lifeline for him, who believes that art is a necessity rather than a luxury.
Art is something everybody can do. If creativity was embraced by people in an open way, it could transform society. Art can bring a lot of joy. Everyone is creative and enjoys creativity whether it’s music or visual art or whatever.
24. What do we know about Tom’s exhibition?
A. It is targeted at the rich.
B. It takes on a variety of forms.

Humans have long known that being in nature is good for the mind and body. From indigenous (本土的) adolescents completing the adult ceremony in the wild to modern East Asian cultures taking “forest baths”, many have looked to nature as a place for healing and personal growth. But the question still remains. How can nature make it?
There is no doubt that being in nature reduces the physiological symptoms of stress in our bodies. What this means is that we are less likely to be anxious and fearful in nature, and therefore we can be more open to other people and creative patterns of thought. Also, nature often leads to awe, wonder and respect, all these emotions facilitating everything from physical to mental health. There is also some evidence that exposure to nature impacts the brain. Viewing natural beauty makes specific reward circuits in the brain associated with dopamine release, a chemical that gives us a sense of purpose, joy and energy to pursue our goals.
But, regrettably, people seem to be spending less time outdoors and less time in nature than before. It is also clear that, in the past 30 years, people’s levels of stress and sense of “busyness” have risen dramatically. These joint forces have led environmental writer Richard Louv to coin the term “Nature Deficit Disorder”—a form of suffering that comes from a sense of disconnection from nature and its powers.
Perhaps we should take note and try a course corrective. The 19th century philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote about nature, “There I feel that nothing can befall me in life—no disgrace, no calamity.” The science speaks to Emerson’s intuition. It’s time to realize that nature is more than just a material resource. It’s also a pathway to human health and happiness.
28. Why are “indigenous adolescents” and “modern East Asian cultures” mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To clarify a viewpoint. B. To answer the question below.
C. To present the natural scenery. D. To show the cultural differences.
29. What does the underlined word “facilitating” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Restricting. B. Exposing. C. Promoting. D. Covering.
30. What is the tone of the author in writing paragraph 3?
A. Uneasy. B. Indifferent. C. Humorous. D. Proud.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Is It Time to Challenge Yourself in Nature?
B. Do You Know Nature Is a Material Resource?
C. Why Do We Care about the Natural Environment?
D. What Can Happen When We Connect with Nature?
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了接触大自然的好处:促进身心健康。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Humans have long known that being in nature is good for the mind and body. From indigenous(本土的) adolescents completing the adult ceremony in the wild to modern East Asian cultures taking “forest baths”, many have looked to nature as a place for healing and personal growth. But the question still remains. How can nature make it?”(人类早就知道身处大自然对身心都有好处。从在野外完成成人仪式的土著青少年到现代东亚文化中的“森林浴”,许多人都将大自然视为治愈和个人成长的地方。但问题依然存在。大自然是怎么做到的呢?)可推知,作者提及土著青少年和现代东亚文化是为了阐明一个观点:置身大自然对身心都有好处。故选A项。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中“There is no doubt that being in nature reduces the physiological symptoms of stress in our bodies.”(毫无疑问,在大自然中可以减少我们身体中压力的生理症状。)以及“There is also some evidence that exposure to nature impacts the brain.”(还有一些证据表明,接触大自然会影响大脑。)由此可知,此处为大自然常常让人敬畏、惊叹和尊重,所有这些情感都有助于从身体到心理健康的一切。故可猜测划线单词facilitating为“促进”的意思,结合选项C项Promoting“促进”意思一致。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“But, regrettably, people seem to be spending less time outdoors and less time in nature than before. It is also clear that, in the past 30 years, people’s levels of stress and sense of “busyness” have risen dramatically. These joint forces have led environmental writer Richard Louv to coin the term “Nature Deficit Disorder”—a form of suffering that comes from a sense of disconnection from nature and its powers.”(但是,令人遗憾的是,人们花在户外和大自然中的时间似乎比以前少了。同样明显的是,在过去的30年里,人们的压力水平和“忙碌”感急剧上升。这些共同的力量使得环境作家Richard Louv创造了“自然缺失症”这个术语——一种来自于与自然及其力量脱节的痛苦。)可推知,作者写第三段的语气是不安的,对此感到很担忧,regrettably也是答案的提示词。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“From indigenous(本土的) adolescents completing the adult ceremony in the wild to modern East Asian cultures taking “forest baths”, many have looked to nature as a place for healing and personal growth. But the question still remains. How can nature make it?”(从在野外完成成人仪式的土著青少年到现代东亚文化中的“森林浴”,许多人都将大自然视为治愈和个人成长的地方。但问题依然存在。大自然是怎么做到的呢?)可知,文章介绍了接触大自然的好处:促进身心健康。因此可知,“当我们与自然联系时,会发生什么?”为最佳标题。故选D项。

Research led by ecologist Bart Hoekstra of the University of Amsterdam shows that birds are affected by the mass use of fireworks on New Year’s Eve up to a distance of 10 km (6 miles) away.
With data from weather radars and bird counts an international team of researchers revealed how many birds take off immediately after the start of the fireworks, at what distance from fireworks this occurs and which species groups mainly react. “Birds take off as a result of an acute flight response due to sudden noise and light. We already knew that many water birds react strongly, but now we also see the effect on other birds throughout the Netherlands, ”says ecologist Bart Hoekstra of the University of Amsterdam. In the scientific journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, the researchers therefore argue for large fireworks-free zones.
Last year, other researchers at IBED discovered that geese are so affected by fireworks that they spend an average of 10% longer looking for food than normal during at least the next 11 days. They apparently need that time to restore their energy to their former condition, after fleeing from the fireworks.
Because 62% of all birds in the Netherlands live within a radius of 2. 5 km of inhabited areas, the consequences of fireworks are high for all birds throughout the country. “Flying requires a lot of energy, so ideally birds should be disturbed as little as possible during the cold winter months. Measures to ensure this are especially important in open areas such as grasslands, where many larger birds spend the winter. The effects of fireworks on birds are less pronounced near forests and semi-open habitats. In addition, smaller birds such as tits and finches live there, which are less likely to fly away from disturbance.”
The authors argue for fireworks-free zones in areas where large birds live. Hoekstra: “These buffer zones could be smaller in areas where light and sound travel less far, such as near forests. Furthermore, fireworks should mainly be lit at central locations in built-up areas, as far away from birds as possible. It would be best for birds if we moved towards light shows without sound, such as drone shows or decorative fireworks without very loud bangs.”
32. What can we learn about the research?
A. It’s the first one about fireworks’ effects on birds.
B. It’s conducted by collecting data from weather radars.
C. It shows the extent of the fireworks’ influence on birds.
D. It keeps track of birds throughout Netherlands and beyond.
33. Why did geese spend more time looking for food?
A. To make up for the lost energy. B. To store more food in case.
C. To find a new source of energy. D. To find a place without fireworks.
34. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in Para. 4 mean?
A. Predictable. B. Noticeable.
C. Admirable. D. Avoidable.
35. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Panic in the air B. Fireworks-free zones
C. Fireworks in the world D. Birds throughout the country
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了烟花对鸟类的影响。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Research led by ecologist Bart Hoekstra of the University of Amsterdam shows that birds are affected by the mass use of fireworks on New Year’s Eve up to a distance of 10 km (6 miles) away. (阿姆斯特丹大学的生态学家巴特·胡克斯特拉领导的研究表明,除夕夜大量燃放烟花爆竹会影响到10公里(6英里)外的鸟类。)”可知,这项研究告诉读者燃放烟花对鸟类的影响程度。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Last year, other researchers at IBED discovered that geese are so affected by fireworks that they spend an average of 10% longer looking for food than normal during at least the next 11 days. They apparently need that time to restore their energy to their former condition, after fleeing from the fireworks. (去年,IBED的其他研究人员发现,鹅受到烟花的影响很大,至少在接下来的11天里,它们寻找食物的时间平均比正常情况长10%。在逃离烟火之后,他们显然需要时间将精力恢复到以前的状态。)”可知,在逃离烟花之后,它们需要这段时间来补充失去的精力,以恢复到以前的状态。故选A。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Because 62% of all birds in the Netherlands live within a radius of 2.5 km of inhabited areas, the consequences of fireworks are high for all birds throughout the country. (由于荷兰62%的鸟类生活在居民区半径2.5公里的范围内,因此烟花对全国所有鸟类的影响都很大。)”和划线词后“near forests and semi-open habitats (在森林和半开放的栖息地附近)”可知,烟花对离居民区近的鸟类影响很大,在森林和半开放的栖息地附近,烟花对鸟类的影响不那么明显。所以划线词的含义为“显著的、明显的”A. Predictable可预测的;B. Noticeable显著的;C. Admirable令人钦佩的;D. Avoidable可避免的。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段“Research led by ecologist Bart Hoekstra of the University of Amsterdam shows that birds are affected by the mass use of fireworks on New Year’s Eve up to a distance of 10 km(6 miles)away. (阿姆斯特丹大学的生态学家巴特·胡克斯特拉领导的研究表明,除夕夜大量燃放烟花爆竹会影响到10公里(6英里)外的鸟类)”可知,文章主要介绍了烟花对鸟类的影响。A选项中in the air 暗指鸟类,panic 指烟花带来的影响,故选项A“Panic in the air (空气中弥漫着恐慌)”为最佳答案。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了大运河的地理位置和历史背景,然后阐述了它作为人类历史上最伟大的水利工程之一的意义和价值,最后强调了它对中国的经济繁荣和稳定所起的重要作用。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:作为世界上最长的人工运河,大运河是中国东北和中东部平原上的一个巨大的水路系统,北起北京,南至浙江省。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词is,所以run用非谓语形式,和逻辑主语the Grand Canal之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填running。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它从公元前5世纪开始分段建造,由于隋朝的建立,它于公元611年完工,并在元朝达到了一个新的高峰,连接了中国的五个主要河流流域。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词was completed,所以construct用非谓语形式,和逻辑主语it代指the Grand Canal之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动,位于句首首字母应大写。故填Constructed。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意:它从公元前5世纪开始分段建造,由于隋朝的建立,它于公元611年完工,并在元朝达到了一个新的高峰,连接了中国的五个主要河流流域。空前是定冠词,所以空处应填名词作宾语,establish的名词形式是establishment。故填establishment。
【59题详解】
考查副词。句意:最初,它是用来运输粮食的,后来用来运输其他商品。空处修饰空后整个句子,用副词修饰,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Originally。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:最初,它是用来运输粮食的,后来用来运输其他商品。根据空前的and可知,空处和前文的to transport并列,所以也用不定式作目的状语。故填to ship。
【61题详解】
考查连词。句意:运河沿线地区逐渐发展成为中国的贸易中心,被认为是中国古代的经济动脉。根据句意“The regions along the canal gradually developed into the trade center of China”和“it was considered as the economic artery (动脉) in ancient China.”两句,既可以理解为并列关系,也可以理解为因果关系,用and或者so连接。故填and或者so。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意:它还通过加强南北之间的交流,促进了中国文化的发展。根据句意,此处表达“通过”之意,应用介词by。故填by。
63题详解】
考查形容词。句意;大运河是人类水利工程历史上最伟大的杰作。空后是名词,所以空处应填形容词作定语,根据句意,此处表达“最伟大的杰作”之意,用最高级。故填greatest。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它是人类创造力的杰出典范。example为可数名词,句中用的是单数,前应用不定冠词修饰,outstanding为元音音素开头,用an修饰。故填an。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:时至今日,它仍然是中国国内主要的通讯工具,在确保中国经济繁荣和稳定方面发挥了重要作用。分析句子结构可知,play作本句谓语,根据over the ages可知,用完成时,根据句意既可以用现在完成时,也可以理解“现在依旧发挥重要作用”之意,用现在完成进行时,主语it为第三人称单数。故填has played或者has been playing。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的短文。
Mom always has the purse with her. The purse contains a receipt for everything she has purchased since around 1980. At first, the purse was relatively normal in size, but over the years it has expanded to what seems like two feet in width. It is hopelessly, permanently open and overflowing. I always hated the purse.
Last Friday afternoon, I called Mom to tell her I had some lab work that needed to be done at school. So, I would be home late. Instead, my friend Heather and I went directly to the movies after school. When we came out, to my complete horror, Mom was standing there with the purse. She’d taken my sister to the movies as well.
Surprisingly, Mom smiled at me, and then at Heather, and invited us to dinner. It seems she had a coupon(优惠券) for McDonald’s. A coupon? What were we, homeless? I couldn’t believe she suggested a coupon in front of Heather.
And just when I thought things couldn’t get worse, she started looking for the coupon. Oh no! Not the purse! She put the purse onto a resting chair outside the theater and began shuffling through(胡乱翻动) the papers. Then, all of a sudden, it dropped to the ground. Each one of those million receipts ended up on the ground, too. Crowds of people were stepping on all those papers.
That’s when I lost it. The words just came out. “I can’t believe you!” I shouted. “You are totally embarrassing me! Why do you have to carry all this useless stuff with you all the time?” My mom and my sister were on their knees picking up all those little pieces of paper. We left the theater and drove Heather home in silence.
Mom didn’t speak to me for the rest of the weekend. I came home from school on Monday and walked in as usual. I went up to my room to do some homework. It was silent. I felt bad. And I wanted to go down there and talk to her.
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。
Paragraph1:
I finally got up the courage to go down there.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“I’m really sorry,” I said, helping to put things into the new purse.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
I finally got up the courage to go down there. I saw Mom looking at the purse filled with receipts in silence. I was about to say sorry to her when she interrupted me to say, “I’m sorry I embarrassed you that day. Now I have a new purse; I will not upset you like that again.” I suddenly felt so ashamed that I couldn’t even say the word “sorry”. Mom took out a new purse and started moving things from the purse to it. Noticing her sadness, I finally gathered up my courage.
“I’m really sorry,” I said, helping to put things into the new purse. “I shouldn’t have shouted at you, Mom.” While putting the receipts into the new purse, I saw that each of these little papers brought back a particular memory, filled with happiness and worth cherishing. It suddenly dawned on me why Mom valued them so much. I gave her a bear hug after finishing the work. And by the way, I started collecting receipts myself from then on and reading them now and then with Mom has become my favorite pastime.

I was amazed and very happy at the speed of service. Although the outer packing was a little damaged then, unfortunately the problems started. I had to put together the pool table, and this was quite difficult. The first major complaint I have is that the instruction booklets included was written only in spanish in polish. I don't think this is very helpful for me. I can't believe you wouldn't include the instructions in english anyway. I managed to follow the diagrams and get the pool table put together in about two hours. Once I had put IT together, I noticed the White ball wasn't there. How am I supposed to be able to play any games without the White ball? It's obvious that the table was faulty. The role of the balls was not very true. They kept curving to the left or the right. So I think there's a problem with the table. So I don't want to spend eight hundred dollars for a pool table that can be used. My customer number is four, five, nine, nine, three. The order number was G, H, one, two, three, eight, eight. You can get in touch with me on my home phone number, three, four, eight, two, eight, eight, four, one. Please get in touch with me as soon as possible to let me know how we can resolve these problems. I really hope to hear from you as soon as possible. Hello, my name is Harry menzies.
