There' s a lake that runs blood red in Antarctica. As though someone has cut into the ice，the properly named Blood Falls come out over the Taylor Glacier.The water is extremely high in iron and salt，and when it comes into contact with the air，it shows the special red color against the pure white surroundings.The water here is three times saltier than ocean water，and therefore，too salty to become ice. Antarctica has its own treaty (条约). Because the environment of Antarctica is so delicate and unique，there is a treaty saying that only peaceful research can be done there.In 1959，12 countries signed this treaty，with the number now sitting at 53.This also makes it certain that Antarctica doesn't end up being caught in an international conflict，and that the continent is only used for scientific purposes and sensible traveling.The treaty prevents army and nuclear activities，and also mineral mining. There is a unique phenomenon in Antarctica called diamond dust. While there are low levels of precipitation (降水) in Antarctica，that doesn't mean the air is clear of nature's beauty! The air is so cold there that moisture (水汽) can condense while air­borne.This results in ice falling to the ground.The sun's light will cause the ice to shine，creating a shining shower called diamond dust.It happens when the skies are clear，known as clear­sky precipitation. If any of these Antarctic facts have increased your interest in visiting this unique continent，be sure to get in touch with the team at Aurora Expeditions today. Phone：＋61 (0)2 9252 1033 [语篇导读]　本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了一些有关南极的有趣的事实。 1．What do we know about the Blood Falls? A．The water has been polluted. B．The water comes from a river.

After eighth grade，Berdan upgraded to a more advanced model and realized it was a gateway to another world.“The new microscope changed my life，” he says.“I could see so much more.” He began studying photography and buying cameras to fit on his microscope.He captured images of mushrooms，and trees，and learned how to develop films.He also developed his microscopy skills，so much so that he earned a doctoral degree in cellular biology and spent five years running a lab at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. But Berdan never forgot his two early passions—being involved in nature and photographing its tiny details—and he decided to return to them.His subjects range from snowflakes to spruce trees.To see the latter under a microscope，Berdan collects a small branch and uses specialized tools to shave off paper­thin slices，which he dyes red or blue.For the final images，he often uses a process called focus stacking，in which similar photos with different focal planes are combined to achieve a more profound depth of field，and he sometimes stitches photos together to create panoramas，an impressive view of a wide area. “I investigate anything that might have possibilities，” he says.And he encourages others to do the same with a microscope.“Any tool that amplifies (放大) our ability to see will enhance our creativity，” he notes.“Our observations can potentially lead to new discoveries and solutions.” [语篇导读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Berdan在加拿大安大略省休伦湖畔长大，从小对水和其中的微生物充满好奇。六年级时，他收到了一台玩具显微镜，开始观察微观世界。他鼓励其他人也使用显微镜，认为这样的工具能够增强我们的观察能力，激发创造力，并可能导致新的发现和解决方案。 4．How did Berdan find his first experience of using microscope? A．Upsetting.　　　　　　B．Amusing. C．Engaging. D．Shocking. 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段的“When he was in sixth grade，he received a toy microscope for Christmas.Some of the first things he saw through its lens were tiny creatures inside droplets he'd gathered from a local pond.He was fascinated with the microorganisms.”可推知，Berdan认为他第一次使用显微镜是非常吸引人的。故选C。 答案　C 5．What can we learn about Berdan from paragraph 3? A.Berdan creates special images without any effort. B．Berdan achieves great success in biology. C．Berdan has his unique way to use microscope. D．Berdan has always been keen on his childhood interests. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段的“But Berdan never forgot his two early passions—being involved in nature and photographing its tiny details—and he decided to return to them.”可知，Berdan并没有忘记他早期的爱好。故选D。 答案　D 6．What does Berdan want to highlight in the last paragraph? A．The strong power of creativity in our daily life. B．Our creativity to be enhanced by large tools. C．The important role that observations play in our life. D.Everything is possible through careful investigations. 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘I investigate anything that might have possibilities，’ he says.And he encourages others to do the same with a microscope.‘Any tool that amplifies (放大) our ability to see will enhance our creativity，’ he notes.‘Our observations can potentially lead to new discoveries and solutions.’”可知，Berdan想要强调观察在我们生活中的重要作用。故选C。 答案　C 7．Which of the following best describes Robert Berdan? A．Creative but stubborn. B.Ambitious but careless. C．Skillful and considerate. D．Persistent and encouraging. 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段的“But Berdan never forgot his two early passions—being involved in nature and photographing its tiny details—and he decided to return to them.”以及最后一段推知，Berdan是一个坚持不懈的人，鼓舞人心的人。故选D。 答案　D Ⅱ.七选五 (2024·湖南省永州市高三三模)As the seasons are starting to change around the world，the animal kingdom is on the move.Animal migration is one of nature's great wonders，but how do animals know when it is time to set off on their journey，or where they need to go? Once they've worked out their destination，how do they know how to get there? __1__. Migration is a behavioral pattern where animals travel from one habitat to another in search of something.It happens seasonally，and usually involves a return journey.These journeys can be by land，sea or air.__2__．Animals like gazelles，wildebeests and zebras migrate in huge herds during dry seasons to look for fresh grass to eat and water to drink.

Pushing the key into the lock，she quietly opened the door so as not to wake her younger siblings.She stepped into the front room，and froze.The house was a mess：plates of half­eaten food were scattered in front of the TV; clothes，shoes and exercise books were everywhere. Amy's eyes welled with tears.“This is just too much for me，” she thought.Terrible memories began to race through her mind.Two years before，her parents lost their lives in an accident，leaving Amy and her siblings for their grandma，Helen，who had spent half of her life in a wheelchair.The life burden fell on Amy's shoulders，which was too much for a girl. Life moved on.One day，walking across the school grounds，Amy found a table littered with university brochures.She browsed through pictures of spacious campuses and happy peers，all of it looking unachievable for her，given the current situation and financial conditions.But her teacher gave her unexpected hope，saying “You could attend university for free.It would take a scholarship，though，and for that you'd need much better grades.” During her final year of high school，Amy diligently attended classes，then went to work after school，returned to her grandmother's house，cared for her sisters and brothers and went through homework till the early hours of the morning，struggling for her dream university. One afternoon，she walked home from school，holding a sheet of paper tightly.It was a letter from the University of California，informing her that she would be offered a scholarship and was admitted to the university.It was what she'd been longing for，a place where she could study to become someone special—a nurse，perhaps，or maybe even a lawyer. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Yet the letter only made Amy struggle inside. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ The next afternoon，Amy spotted the wrinkled letter she threw into the dustbin on the table when arriving home. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 写作思路： [故事梗概]　18岁的艾米·沃尔德鲁普父母在一次事故中丧生了，把艾米和她的兄弟姐妹留给了在轮椅上度过了半生的奶奶海伦。生活的重担落在了艾米的肩上，这对一个女孩来说太沉重了。艾米渴望去上大学，但是担心家里无法维系生计。 [续写思路] ①由第一段首句“然而，这封信让艾米内心挣扎。”可知，第一段可描写艾米内心的挣扎以及迷茫。 ②由第二段首句“第二天下午，艾米发现了那封皱巴巴的信，她回家时把它扔进了桌子上的垃圾箱。”可知，第二段可描写艾米思考解决办法以及决心实现梦想。 One possible version： Yet_the_letter_only_made_Amy_struggle_inside.
