She was at work when it happened, but the whole interaction was caught on her doorbell’s camera. The video showed the playful dog grabbed the package between his teeth seconds after the driver left it at Sand’s doorstep, and then ran down the driveway with his tail wagging. The driver laughed when he saw Nixon dutifully bringing back the item. Nixon is popular with the regular delivery drivers in the area. When drivers park their trucks at the end of the driveway, he’ll walk with them to the front door. “Nixon loves to relax but is also incredibly friendly. The garbage men know him, and they often stop to give him treats,” said Sand. Sand said Nixon becomes very excited when anyone comes to the house and is particularly fond of delivery people, who all know Nixon and give him treats. Though Sand isn’t usually one to post much on social media, this one was too good not to share. “I’ve never seen that, and it just made me laugh. I just kind of wanted to share that laughter with everyone and hopefully someone, or hopefully a lot of people found it funny and just made their day. And I’m sure it made the FedEx driver’s day,” Sand told CBS Minnesota. 4. What happened to the FedEx driver? A. He lost Sand’s package. B. He sent a wrong package. C. He got a delivered package back. D. He reached a wrong address. 5. How did the FedEx driver feel when Nixon ran to him? A. Worried. B. Confused. C. Amused. D. Frightened. 6. What do we know about Nixon according to the text? A. He likes playing with packages. B. He isn’t friendly to the garbage men. C. He met the FedEx driver for the first time. D. He gets along well with the delivery people. 7. Why did Sand post the event on social media? A. To express her thanks. B. To share the happiness. C. To make Nixon well-known. D. To complain about the driver. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一只名叫尼克松的狗，给联邦快递的司机送回包裹，其主人在监控视频中发现了之后，把这个视频分享给大家的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The FedEx driver dropped off the package, and Nixon ran up and grabbed it and ran it back to the driver, said Megan Sand, the owner of the dog.”(这只狗的主人梅根·桑德说：“联邦快递的司机把包裹放下了，尼克松跑上去抓住它，把它还给了司机。”)可知，联邦快递的司机把包裹放好，狗狗又送回去了，所以说联邦快递的司机收到了一个已经交付的快递包裹。C项“He got a delivered package back.”(他收到了一个已交付的包裹。)符合原文表述，故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章三段“The driver laughed when he saw Nixon dutifully bringing back the item.”(司机看到尼克松尽职尽责地把东西带回来时笑了。)可知，司机笑了。选项C项“Amused.”(被逗乐了。)符合原文表述，故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Nixon is popular with the regular delivery drivers in the area. When drivers park their trucks at the end of the driveway, he’ll walk with them to the front door.”(尼克松在该地区的常规送货司机中很受欢迎。当司机将卡车停在车道尽头时，他会和他们一起走到前门。)可知，尼克松在该地区的常规送货司机中很受欢迎，他们相处很融洽。D项“He gets along well with the delivery people.”(他与送货员相处得很好。)符合原文表述，故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I’ve never seen that, and it just made me laugh. I just kind of wanted to share that laughter with everyone and hopefully someone, or hopefully a lot of people found it funny and just made their day.”(我从来没有见过，它只是让我发笑。我只是想与每个人分享笑声，希望有人，或者希望很多人觉得这很有趣，并度过了愉快的一天。)可知，作者在社交媒体上发布是为了分享快乐。B项“To share the happiness.”(分享快乐。)符合原文表述，故选B项。 C Swimming is a great exercise for staying healthy. But it can also be a life saving skill and help to keep you from drowning. However, in some bodies of water, swimming might be difficult. On today’s show, we talk about several English expressions that use “swim” to describe different ways to face a situation—especially danger, difficulty, or any hardship. Let’s start with swimming in rivers. Let’s say you jump in a river and swim downstream. That means you are swimming with the current of the water. This makes swimming easier and faster. So, the expression to swim downstream means using the easy way to get something done. However, when you swim upstream, you have to fight the flow of the water. In some rivers or other bodies of water, swimming upstream is nearly impossible. As an expression, swimming upstream means you take a more difficult path to do something. You make it harder for yourself. Here’s an example: Dealing with money is not my strong suit. In fact, last year I was drowning in debt. Every month when bills arrived, I felt like I was swimming upstream. So I went to a financial advisor. Now, if you are swimming in the ocean, sea, or other large bodies of water, you may be fighting the tide. Swimming against the tide is another expression. It means you are fighting against very powerful forces. And chances are you will not come out the winner. Swimming with the tide or current, is much easier. Again, this means you have taken an easier path. All of these expressions can be used another way. They can also mean that you are going with or against popular opinions or viewpoints. If you are swimming with the tide or current or swimming downstream, you act the same way as the majority of others. You are going with the flow. That is another common expression—to go with the flow. People who go with the flow are easy-going. They take the popular path without protest. 8. What is the author? A. Host. B. Writer. C. Teacher. D. Linguist. 9. Why does the author give an example in paragraph 3? A. To teach readers how to deal with bills. B. To describe the feeling of “swim upstream”. C. To explain the meaning of “swim upstream”. D. To show the difficulty of handling financial issues. 10. Which can NOT describe a man who always agrees with the majority? A. Swim upstream. B. Go with the flow. C. Swim downstream. D. Swim with the current. 11. What will be discussed in the following paragraph? A. Importance of the word “swim”. B. Examples of the use of “swim” in different occasions. C. Errors people make while using expressions about “swim”. D. Explanation of “swimming upstream/against the tide (current)”. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍“swim”相关英语表达，如顺流、逆流等游泳相关表达及其在面对情况和表达观点方面的含义。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“On today’s show, we talk about several English expressions that use ‘swim’ to describe different ways to face a situation—especially danger, difficulty, or any hardship.(在今天的节目中，我们将谈论几个用‘swim’来描述面对情况 —— 尤其是危险、困难或任何艰难困苦的不同方式的英语表达)”可知，“show”表明这是一个节目，所以作者很可能是主持人。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“As an expression, swimming upstream means you take a more difficult path to do something. You make it harder for yourself. Here’s an example: Dealing with money is not my strong suit. In fact, last year I was drowning in debt. Every month when bills arrived, I felt like I was swimming upstream. So I went to a financial advisor.(作为一个表达，‘swimming upstream’意味着你采取更困难的方式去做某事。你让自己更艰难。这里有一个例子：处理金钱不是我的强项。事实上，去年我债台高筑。每个月当账单到来时，我感觉就像在逆流而上。所以我去咨询了一位理财顾问)”可知，作者给出这个例子是为了解释“swim upstream”这个表达的意思，即采取更困难的方式做事。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“the expression to swim downstream means using the easy way to get something done.(‘swim downstream’这个表达意味着用简单的方法完成某事)”，第四段“Swimming with the tide or current, is much easier. Again, this means you have taken an easier path.(顺流或顺潮游泳要容易得多。这再次意味着你选择了一条更简单的路径)”，第五段“If you are swimming with the tide or current or swimming downstream, you act the same way as the majority of others. You are going with the flow. That is another common expression—to go with the flow.(如果你顺流或顺潮游泳，或者是顺流而下游泳，你的行为方式和大多数人一样。你是随波逐流。这是另一个常见的表达 —— 随波逐流)”可知，go with the flow、swim downstream和swim with the current都可以表示和大多数人行为一样，随波逐流；而swim upstream意味着采取更困难的方式做事，和大多数人不一样，不能描述总是同意大多数人的人。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了几个用“swim”组成的表达，以及它们的含义，并且在介绍含义的时候举了一些例子。根据文章的逻辑，接下来很可能会继续给出“swim”在不同场合使用的例子，来进一步说明这些表达的用法。故选B。 D A “superhero” moss can significantly reduce the risk and severity of flooding for communities living in downstream areas, researchers have found. Scientists from the conservation group Moors for the Future Partnership who conducted a six-year study into sphagnum moss (泥炭藓) found that the sphagnum moss planted in upland areas reduced peak stream flow — the maximum amount of water that enters a river after a storm — by 65%. The moss was also found to increase lag time — the time taken between rainfall and the rainwater entering the river system — by 680%. More than 50,000 individual sphagnum plants were planted on Kinder Scout, the highest point in the Peak District National Park, as part of an “outdoor laboratory” for researchers to observe. Before the moss was planted on Kinder, the hill surface consisted of bare peat, which meant that after a storm rainwater would wash straight off, leaving communities in downstream valleys more vulnerable (易受攻击的) to flooding. The planting of sphagnum moss could therefore bring important ecological benefits. The plant is capable of absorbing up to 20 times its own weight in water, which means that more rainwater can be held upstream and enter a river catchment (流域) more gradually to prevent it from being flooded. Sphagnum moss can also help protect the layers (层) of peat underneath it, and can build up over time to create new layers of peat which are essential to carbon storage. Researchers say the benefits of planting sphagnum moss will be intensified over time as the plant grows, and that moss planting has the potential to bring global benefits in terms of the climate, water quality and flood severity. Tom Spencer, a research and monitoring officer for the Moors for the Future Partnership, said the results were “shocking” and applauded the dramatic effects the moss has had on the river catchment. He said sphagnum planting could be “a powerful tool in minimizing the risk and severity of flooding”, which would have “far-reaching benefits for r communities downstream”. 12. How was the research conducted? A. By referring to the existing database. B. By observing the changes in the upland. C. By doing experiments in real-life situations. D. By comparing the latest research with previous ones. 13. Which may NOT be the benefit brought by Sphagnum Moss? A. Improving the water quality. B. Indirectly helping with carbon storage. C. Stopping rainwater from entering the river system. D. Reducing the risk of flooding for downstream areas. 14. What’s Tom Spencer’s attitude towards Sphagnum moss? A. Critical. B. Unclear. C. Indifferent. D. Supportive. 15. Which is the best title of this passage? A. “Superhero” moss’ far-reaching benefits B. Sphagnum moss’ newly-found advantages C. “Superhero” moss can save communities from flooding D. Sphagnum moss together with peat is perfect for flood prevention 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现泥炭藓可显著降低下游地区洪水风险，其在防洪及生态方面具有重要作用 。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“More than 50,000 individual sphagnum plants were planted on Kinder Scout, the highest point in the Peak District National Park, as part of an ‘outdoor laboratory’ for researchers to observe.(超过5万株单独的泥炭藓植物被种植在峰区国家公园的最高点金德斯科特，作为供研究人员观察的‘户外实验室’的一部分)”可知，研究是通过在现实环境中种植泥炭藓并进行观察来开展的，也就是在现实生活情境中做实验。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The planting of sphagnum moss could therefore bring important ecological benefits. The plant is capable of absorbing up to 20 times its own weight in water, which means that more rainwater can be held upstream and enter a river catchment (流域) more gradually to prevent it from being flooded. Sphagnum moss can also help protect the layers (层) of peat underneath it, and can build up over time to create new layers of peat which are essential to carbon storage.(因此，泥炭藓的种植可以带来重要的生态效益。这种植物能够吸收高达自身重量20倍的水分，这意味着更多的雨水可以被保留在上游，并更缓慢地进入河流流域，以防止洪水泛滥。泥炭藓还可以帮助保护其下面的泥炭层，并且随着时间的推移可以形成新的泥炭层，这对碳储存至关重要)”以及第六段“Researchers say the benefits of planting sphagnum moss will be intensified over time as the plant grows, and that moss planting has the potential to bring global benefits in terms of the climate, water quality and flood severity.(研究人员表示，随着时间的推移，随着泥炭藓这种植物的生长，种植它所带来的益处将会增强，并且种植泥炭藓在气候、水质和洪水严重程度方面具有为全球带来益处的潜力)”可知，泥炭藓可以减少下游地区洪水风险（D选项）、间接帮助碳储存（B选项）、改善水质（A选项）。而C选项 “阻止雨水进入河流系统”错误，文中说的是让雨水更缓慢地进入河流流域，而不是阻止进入。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Tom Spencer, a research and monitoring officer for the Moors for the Future Partnership, said the results were ‘shocking’ and applauded the dramatic effects the moss has had on the river catchment. He said sphagnum planting could be ‘a powerful tool in minimizing the risk and severity of flooding’, which would have ‘far-reaching benefits for communities downstream’.(‘未来荒野’合作伙伴关系的研究和监测官员汤姆・斯宾塞表示，这些结果‘令人震惊’，并称赞了这种苔藓对河流流域产生的显著影响。他说，种植泥炭藓可能是‘将洪水风险和严重程度降至最低的有力工具’，这将‘对下游社区产生深远的益处’)”可知，从他对结果的称赞以及对苔藓作用的肯定可以看出，他对泥炭藓持支持的态度。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章开篇指出“A ‘superhero’ moss can significantly reduce the risk and severity of flooding for communities living in downstream areas, researchers have found.(研究人员发现，一种‘超级英雄’苔藓可以显著降低下游地区居民社区遭受洪水的风险和严重程度)”，接着具体介绍了对泥炭藓的研究以及它在防洪等方面的作用。所以C选项“Superhero” moss can save communities from flooding (“超级英雄”苔藓可以使社区免受洪水侵袭)准确地概括了文章主旨，突出了苔藓在防洪方面的关键作用。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。 Do you ever feel guilty (负罪感的) when you lose yourself in a novel for hours?

Mom was always there with her camera, capturing each wonderful moment. These photos were arranged in an album. It held the sweet memories of my family, and I was never bored with opening it, as it always filled me with warmth. Life was simple until I asked for a new electronic game for my birthday. I was well-behaved, so my parents fulfilled my wish. But then everything changed. The game was so amazing. As soon as I switched on the device, my ears stopped hearing external sounds. My back ached, but I couldn’t stop. “Davey, wanna go out and play?” asked Jimmy, holding the ball. “No, thanks,” I refused, without a second thought. “But all our friends are waiting! You’ve been staying here every day playing that game,” Jimmy urged. I finally tore my eyes away, my voice sharp. “Can’t you see I’m busy? Go play without me!” With that, Jimmy stormed out, his face reddened with anger. Outside in the forest, the kids played ball and hide-and-seek, having loads of fun, while I spent the whole afternoon in the sofa, absorbed in the game until it was dark. It was days before I realized I hadn’t seen Jimmy around. Each day brought a fresh battle. I resisted, but finally gave in. My fingers danced across the buttons as hours slipped by. Around 9 PM, Mom came and placed a glass of milk beside me.“Time for bed,” she whispered. I saw her worries — how could I not? But click-clack noise covered Mom’s voice. When the final boss fell, my eyes burned. Walking half-asleep towards the bed, I noticed a photo album on the bedside table. The worn cover brought back memories. 注意: 1.续写词数应为120个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Absorbed in the photos, I didn’t notice Mom standing beside me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Early next morning, ball in hand, I knocked on Jimmy’s door _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Absorbed in the photos, I didn’t notice Mom standing beside me. She bent down and joined me. Pointing at a photo of Jimmy and me in the forest, both covered in mud, she whispered, “Remember how happy you were out there?” Guilt washed over me as I realized how much I missed those days with Jimmy. That night, I lay awake, thinking about everything I’d passed by while glued to the screen. I made a decision. Early next morning, ball in hand, I knocked on Jimmy’s door. His sleepy eyes widened in surprise. “Want to play outside?” I asked. Jimmy nodded happily. We rushed to the woods, laughter echoing among the trees; we played ball in the open field, shouts mixing with bird chirps; we lay flat on the grass, clouds painting our dreams with ease. I suddenly felt a recovered sense of peace, a feeling brought not by the silly screen, but the company of loved ones. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者从热爱户外活动、与弟弟共度美好时光，到因为沉迷电子游戏而疏远弟弟，再到最终意识到问题并重新找回与弟弟及家人共度的快乐时光的过程。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我沉浸在照片中，没注意到妈妈站在我身边。”以及第二段首句内容“第二天一早，我拿着球敲响了Jimmy的房门。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈提醒作者户外生活的美好以及作者错过了多少美好时光。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天一早，我拿着球敲响了Jimmy的房门。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Jimmy度过了美好的一天，而作者也感受到了久违的平静。 2.续写线索：作者沉浸在照片中，丝毫没注意到妈妈来到了自己身边——妈妈指着照片询问作者是否忘记了外面的美好——而作者也意识到自己怀念和Jimmy共度的时光，而自己又错过了多少美好——次日一早，作者拿着球找到了Jimmy——Jimmy非常开心能和作者一起玩——作者也感受到了久违的平静和美好 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/ come to know ②想要：want/ would like ③混合：mix/ blend 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/ astonishment ②开心地：happily/ gladly 【点睛】【高分句型1】Guilt washed over me as I realized how much I missed those days with Jimmy.(运用了as引导的状语从句和how much引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】That night, I lay awake, thinking about everything I’d passed by while glued to the screen.(运用了省略关系代词的定语从句和状语从句的省略) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高一英语期中试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共 5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分） 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Here are some of the places that almost every person wants to see in their life. Santorini This is one of the most amazing places in the world. It is said to have been destroyed in the 16th century. It has been rebuilt and its beauty increases with every passing day. There are a lot of islands in Greece and sunbathing on any of these would be an unforgettable experience. The Capilano Suspension Bridge An amazing place to visit in the world is the Capilano Suspension Bridge. This bridge is located in Vancouver in British Columbia, a province of Canada. Its beauty appeals to visitors from all over the world. It's almost 140 meters long and 70 meters above the river. Rome Another beautiful place to visit is the ancient city of Rome in Italy. It is also known as the center of Western civilization. This city was founded in 753 BC. The Colosseum (罗马斗兽场), which is one of the world's most symbolic monuments, is also in Rome. The Taj Mahal It is also a good choice to visit the Taj Mahal in India. It is called the monument of love and built to show Mughal Emperor Shah Jeha's love for his wife. It is located on the south bank of the Yamuna River. Its ivory-white color attracts many tourists and it is one of the miracles of the Mughal art of building. 1. What can visitors do in Santorini? A.

B It’s the time of year when package thefts are on the rise, but when a delivery driver tried to drop off a package at a home in Rogers, a very good dog wanted to make sure that he didn’t leave anything behind. “The FedEx driver dropped off the package, and Nixon ran up and grabbed it and ran it back to the driver,” said Megan Sand, the owner of the dog. She was at work when it happened, but the whole interaction was caught on her doorbell’s camera. The video showed the playful dog grabbed the package between his teeth seconds after the driver left it at Sand’s doorstep, and then ran down the driveway with his tail wagging. The driver laughed when he saw Nixon dutifully bringing back the item. Nixon is popular with the regular delivery drivers in the area. When drivers park their trucks at the end of the driveway, he’ll walk with them to the front door. “Nixon loves to relax but is also incredibly friendly. The garbage men know him, and they often stop to give him treats,” said Sand. Sand said Nixon becomes very excited when anyone comes to the house and is particularly fond of delivery people, who all know Nixon and give him treats. Though Sand isn’t usually one to post much on social media, this one was too good not to share. “I’ve never seen that, and it just made me laugh. I just kind of wanted to share that laughter with everyone and hopefully someone, or hopefully a lot of people found it funny and just made their day. And I’m sure it made the FedEx driver’s day,” Sand told CBS Minnesota. 4. What happened to the FedEx driver? A. He lost Sand’s package. B. He sent a wrong package. C. He got a delivered package back. D. He reached a wrong address. 5. How did the FedEx driver feel when Nixon ran to him? A. Worried. B. Confused. C. Amused. D. Frightened. 6. What do we know about Nixon according to the text? A. He likes playing with packages. B. He isn’t friendly to the garbage men. C. He met the FedEx driver for the first time. D. He gets along well with the delivery people. 7 Why did Sand post the event on social media? A. To express her thanks. B. To share the happiness. C. To make Nixon well-known. D. To complain about the driver. C Swimming is a great exercise for staying healthy. But it can also be a life saving skill and help to keep you from drowning. However, in some bodies of water, swimming might be difficult. On today’s show, we talk about several English expressions that use “swim” to describe different ways to face a situation—especially danger, difficulty, or any hardship. Let’s start with swimming in rivers. Let’s say you jump in a river and swim downstream. That means you are swimming with the current of the water. This makes swimming easier and faster. So, the expression to swim downstream means using the easy way to get something done. However, when you swim upstream, you have to fight the flow of the water. In some rivers or other bodies of water, swimming upstream is nearly impossible. As an expression, swimming upstream means you take a more difficult path to do something. You make it harder for yourself. Here’s an example: Dealing with money is not my strong suit. In fact, last year I was drowning in debt. Every month when bills arrived, I felt like I was swimming upstream. So I went to a financial advisor. Now, if you are swimming in the ocean, sea, or other large bodies of water, you may be fighting the tide. Swimming against the tide is another expression. It means you are fighting against very powerful forces. And chances are you will not come out the winner. Swimming with the tide or current, is much easier. Again, this means you have taken an easier path. All of these expressions can be used another way. They can also mean that you are going with or against popular opinions or viewpoints. If you are swimming with the tide or current or swimming downstream, you act the same way as the majority of others. You are going with the flow. That is another common expression—to go with the flow. People who go with the flow are easy-going. They take the popular path without protest. 8. What is the author? A. Host. B. Writer. C. Teacher. D. Linguist. 9. Why does the author give an example in paragraph 3? A. To teach readers how to deal with bills. B. To describe the feeling of “swim upstream”. C. To explain the meaning of “swim upstream”. D To show the difficulty of handling financial issues. 10. Which can NOT describe a man who always agrees with the majority? A. Swim upstream. B. Go with the flow. C. Swim downstream. D. Swim with the current. 11. What will be discussed in the following paragraph? A. Importance of the word “swim”. B. Examples of the use of “swim” in different occasions. C. Errors people make while using expressions about “swim”. D. Explanation of “swimming upstream/against the tide (current)”. D A “superhero” moss can significantly reduce the risk and severity of flooding for communities living in downstream areas, researchers have found. Scientists from the conservation group Moors for the Future Partnership who conducted a six-year study into sphagnum moss (泥炭藓) found that the sphagnum moss planted in upland areas reduced peak stream flow — the maximum amount of water that enters a river after a storm — by 65%. The moss was also found to increase lag time — the time taken between rainfall and the rainwater entering the river system — by 680%. More than 50,000 individual sphagnum plants were planted on Kinder Scout, the highest point in the Peak District National Park, as part of an “outdoor laboratory” for researchers to observe. Before the moss was planted on Kinder, the hill surface consisted of bare peat, which meant that after a storm rainwater would wash straight off, leaving communities in downstream valleys more vulnerable (易受攻击的) to flooding. The planting of sphagnum moss could therefore bring important ecological benefits. The plant is capable of absorbing up to 20 times its own weight in water, which means that more rainwater can be held upstream and enter a river catchment (流域) more gradually to prevent it from being flooded. Sphagnum moss can also help protect the layers (层) of peat underneath it, and can build up over time to create new layers of peat which are essential to carbon storage. Researchers say the benefits of planting sphagnum moss will be intensified over time as the plant grows, and that moss planting has the potential to bring global benefits in terms of the climate, water quality and flood severity. Tom Spencer, a research and monitoring officer for the Moors for the Future Partnership, said the results were “shocking” and applauded the dramatic effects the moss has had on the river catchment. He said sphagnum planting could be “a powerful tool in minimizing the risk and severity of flooding”, which would have “far-reaching benefits for r communities downstream”. 12. How was the research conducted? A. By referring to the existing database. B. By observing the changes in the upland. C. By doing experiments in real-life situations. D. By comparing the latest research with previous ones. 13. Which may NOT be the benefit brought by Sphagnum Moss? A. Improving the water quality. B. Indirectly helping with carbon storage. C. Stopping rainwater from entering the river system. D. Reducing the risk of flooding for downstream areas. 14. What’s Tom Spencer’s attitude towards Sphagnum moss? A. Critical. B. Unclear. C. Indifferent. D. Supportive. 15. Which is the best title of this passage? A. “Superhero” moss’ far-reaching benefits B. Sphagnum moss’ newly-found advantages C. “Superhero” moss can save communities from flooding D. Sphagnum moss together with peat is perfect for flood prevention 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。 Do you ever feel guilty (负罪感的) when you lose yourself in a novel for hours?

Mom was always there with her camera, capturing each wonderful moment. These photos were arranged in an album. It held the sweet memories of my family, and I was never bored with opening it, as it always filled me with warmth. Life was simple until I asked for a new electronic game for my birthday. I was well-behaved, so my parents fulfilled my wish. But then everything changed. The game was so amazing. As soon as I switched on the device, my ears stopped hearing external sounds. My back ached, but I couldn’t stop. “Davey, wanna go out and play?” asked Jimmy, holding the ball. “No, thanks,” I refused, without a second thought. “But all our friends are waiting! You’ve been staying here every day playing that game,” Jimmy urged. I finally tore my eyes away, my voice sharp. “Can’t you see I’m busy? Go play without me!” With that, Jimmy stormed out, his face reddened with anger. Outside in the forest, the kids played ball and hide-and-seek, having loads of fun, while I spent the whole afternoon in the sofa, absorbed in the game until it was dark. It was days before I realized I hadn’t seen Jimmy around. Each day brought a fresh battle. I resisted, but finally gave in. My fingers danced across the buttons as hours slipped by. Around 9 PM, Mom came and placed a glass of milk beside me.“Time for bed,” she whispered. I saw her worries — how could I not? But click-clack noise covered Mom’s voice.

The worn cover brought back memories. 注意: 1.续写词数应为120个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Absorbed in the photos, I didn’t notice Mom standing beside me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Early next morning, ball in hand, I knocked on Jimmy’s door _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
