From there, they make a list of favorites, cutting it down from 60 to 40 and then finally to 20, during a heated debate in Seattle. It’s a long process where emotions run high. Below are 4 of the top 20 picks of 2023, along with quotes (引述) from the editors. Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano “Ann Napolitano creates a touching story that centers on the Padavano sisters, who are close to each other — until they aren’t. Hello Beautiful offers big emotions, and that’s exactly what makes it so powerful and so page-turning, which is why we named it the Best Book of 2023 So Far.” — Al Woodworth Weyward by Emilia Hart “Though divided by centuries, three women, who share a unique connection to the natural world and to one another, tell their attractive stories of ill treatment, danger, and adaptability in a beautifully written novel that is an impressive read.” — Seira Wilson Poverty, by America by Matthew Desmond “In 200 powerful and critical pages, Matthew Desmond lays out a clear explanation of inequality that will make you rage (发怒), give in, and feel shame. This book may not be the easiest read, but it’s one of the most important ones.” — Lindsay Powers King: A Life by Jonathan Eig “Eig’s best description of Martin Luther King Jr. is an amazing achievement of writing and research, telling the hardships and heroics of a man who changed the world. This is biography at its absolute finest.” — Al Woodworth 1. How many books have been finally chosen as the best of 2023 by Amazon editors? A. Four. B. Twenty. C. Forty. D. Sixty. 2. What makes Hello Beautiful stand out? A. Moving stories. B. Powerful pages. C. Big emotions. D. Impressive characters. 3. Which book best attracts people interested in the lives of famous people? A. Hello Beautiful. B. Weyward. C. Poverty, by America. D. King: A Life. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。本文介绍了亚马逊编辑团队每年评选出的20本最佳书籍的过程和其中四本被选出的书籍的简介。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“From there, they make a list of favorites, cutting it down from 60 to 40 and then finally to 20, during a heated debate in Seattle. (在此基础上，他们列出了最受欢迎的名单，从60个减少到40个，最后在西雅图进行激烈的辩论，减少到20个。)”和“Below are 4 of the top 20 picks of 2023, along with quotes (引述) from the editors.(以下是2023年排名前20中的4本，以及编辑们的引语)”可知，编辑们会先从60本书中挑选出40本，然后再进一步缩减到20本。因此，亚马逊编辑最终挑选出的2023年最佳书籍是20本。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Hello Beautiful部分中“Hello Beautiful offers big emotions, and that’s exactly what makes it so powerful and so page-turning, which is why we named it the Best Book of 2023 So Far.”(《你好，美丽》提供了巨大的情感，这正是它如此强大、如此引人入胜的原因，这就是为什么我们把它评为2023年迄今为止最好的书。”)”可知，Hello Beautiful之所以脱颖而出，是因为它提供了强烈的情感，这种情感正是使这本书如此强大和引人入胜的原因。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据King: A Life部分中“Eig’s best description of Martin Luther King Jr. is an amazing achievement of writing and research, telling the hardships and heroics of a man who changed the world. (Eig对马丁·路德·金的最佳描述是写作和研究的惊人成就，讲述了一个改变世界的人的艰辛和英雄事迹。)”可知，本书是关于马丁·路德·金的生活和奋斗历程的描述，因此它最吸引对名人生活感兴趣的人。故选D。 B In 2011, an iPhone fell into my hands. This smart technology seemed like an entrance to fun and positive things like chatting with friends and blogging. However, six years later, I had become horribly chained to it. Recent reports show that I’m not the only one. According to a 2017 study the average American spends 5 hours a day on smart devices and about 2.5 hours are spent on social media, messaging, news and entertainment applications. It’s hard to explain when the love and joy I felt for my iPhone turned into dependency. But now, I fall asleep next to my phone every night and wake to it each morning. I check the weather app every morning before I choose how to dress for the day. I use it to help me navigate(导航)a city I should know well enough on my own. I update my inbox every time I pick up my phone. As with any addiction, my phone dependency began to impact my life. While spending time with family, I’d stare into a small screen on my lap instead of engaging at a level I would have a few years back. At work, my productivity levels dropped. And then, my four-year relationship came to an end. Eventually, I was left with years of memories and a mobile phone that couldn’t provide enjoyable company across the dinner table, share the joys of experiencing a concert or kiss me goodnight before bed. Now, I move through life with more purpose and intention. I’ve cut back on carelessly giving away my limited time and attention to my phone. Instead, I focused my efforts on being as present as possible. Training the mind to stay present is a long and challenging road, but it’s important to start somewhere. I hope you’ll take a deep look at your own phone habits and reevaluate how important a role you are letting it play in your life. Whether or not you’ve reached a place in your life where your screen time feels problematic, there’s no harm in mindfully giving your current practices some thought. 4. What can best describe Americans’ use of smart technology? A. They are ruined by it. B. They are inspired by it. C. They are tied to it D. They are good at it. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. She became addicted to a mobile phone. B. She benefited a lot from a mobile phone. C. She felt joyful when using a mobile phone. D. She lived a colorful life with a mobile phone. 6. What was the bad effect of a mobile phone on the author? A. She became short-sighted. B. She became less efficient at work. C. She was disliked by her family. D. She didn’t have a mind of her own. 7. What is implied in the last paragraph? A. Everyone should reassess their screen time. B. People are too dependent on mobile phones. C. Mobile phones have side effects on people’s lives. D. It’s time for everyone to put their mobile phone aside. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了智能手机对作者生活所造成的影响，以及作者为摆脱对手机的依赖所做的努力，并建议人们要养成良好的使用手机的习惯。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, six years later, I had become horribly chained to it. Recent reports show that I’m not the only one. According to a 2017 study the average American spends 5 hours a day on smart devices and about 2.5 hours are spent on social media, messaging, news and entertainment applications.( 然而，六年后，我已经被它牢牢地束缚住了。最近的报告显示，我不是唯一一个。根据2017年的一项研究，美国人平均每天花在智能设备上的时间为5小时，花在社交媒体、短信、新闻和娱乐应用上的时间约为2.5小时。)”以及作者自身对手机上瘾的描述可知，美国人也和作者一样对智能技术有依赖，be tied to it 表示“被它束缚”，符合文意。故选C项。 5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“It’s hard to explain when the love and joy I felt for my iPhone turned into dependency. But now, I fall asleep next to my phone every night and wake to it each morning. I check the weather app every morning before I choose how to dress for the day. I use it to help me navigate(导航)a city I should know well enough on my own. I update my inbox every time I pick up my phone.( 很难解释为什么我对iPhone的爱和喜悦变成了依赖。但现在，我每天晚上都在手机旁入睡，每天早上醒来都能看到它。我每天早上在选择当天的着装之前都会查看天气应用。我用它来帮助我在一个我自己应该很熟悉的城市里导航。我每次拿起手机都会更新我的收件箱。)”主要讲述了作者从对 iPhone的喜爱变成了依赖，从早到晚的很多行为都离不开手机，所以主要说的是她对手机上瘾了。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“As with any addiction, my phone dependency began to impact my life. While spending time with family, I’d stare into a small screen on my lap instead of engaging at a level I would have a few years back. At work, my productivity levels dropped. (就像任何成瘾一样，我对手机的依赖开始影响我的生活。与家人共度时光时，我会盯着膝上的小屏幕，而不是像几年前那样沉浸在游戏中。在工作中，我的效率下降了。)” 可知，手机对作者的不良影响是她在工作中的效率下降了。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I hope you’ll take a deep look at your own phone habits and reevaluate how important a role you are letting it play in your life. Whether or not you’ve reached a place in your life where your screen time feels problematic, there’s no harm in mindfully giving your current practices some thought.( 我希望你能好好审视一下自己的手机习惯，重新评估一下手机在你的生活中扮演了多么重要的角色。无论你是否觉得看屏幕的时间有问题，仔细思考一下你目前的做法并没有什么坏处。)”可知，暗示每个人都应该重新评估自己使用手机屏幕的时间，思考手机在生活中扮演的角色。故选A项。 C As the effects of climate change become clearer and the world faces up to a biodiversity crisis that threatens humanity’s existence, a group of campaigners from across the world are saying there is one clear way to get us out of this mess. In an open letter published in a British newspaper, the group says that the best and cheapest way to avert a climate disaster is to restore and replant degraded(退化的)forests and better protect the natural world. Vast amounts of harmful carbon can be removed from the air and stored by restoring ecosystems ignored by tree plantations, cattle raising and fish production, the letter says. The world faces two existential crises, developing with terrifying speed: climate and ecological breakdown. Neither is being addressed with the urgency needed to prevent our life-support systems from rushing into collapse. They call for the defense, restoration and re-establishment of forests, salt marshes, natural seabeds and other crucial ecosystems, to remove and store large amounts of carbon from the air. Protecting and restoring these ecosystems could help reduce a sixth great extinction to the lowest possible level. Nearly a third of the greenhouse gas reductions needed to hold temperatures to a 1.5℃(2.7°F) rise can be provided by the restoration of natural habitats, according to journalist and author George Monbiot. Technology alone cannot solve climate change, Monbiot writes in The Guardian. Much of the technology used to capture carbon is expensive and could cause problems when used on a large scale. The cheapest and surest approach, he writes, is to restore natural forests and allow native trees to be planted on deforested land. Protecting and restoring natural forests is seen as vital in many countries. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air and store it. Pakistan has just planted 1 billion trees. China plans to create forests totaling the size of Ireland. And in Africa, Ethiopia, Niger and Mali are among countries that strongly back the reforestation of degraded land. These countries set an example to other countries in taking action positively to protect nature. 8. What is the campaigners’ view about the world’s future? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful. 9. Which of the following can replace “avert” underlined in paragraph 2? A. bring B. predict C. prevent D. recognize 10. What can be inferred about the two existential crises? A. They result from deforestation. B. They urgently need to be addressed. C. They can be solved by technology alone. D. They have led to the collapse of ecosystems. 11. Why does the author mention some countries in the last paragraph? A. To provide a solution to ecological imbalance. B. To present the benefits of planting trees on our planet. C. To prove the importance of trees in tackling climate crises. D. To appeal to other countries to protect and restore forests. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了来自世界各地的一群活动家呼吁保护、恢复和重建天然林以更好地应对气候灾难和人类的生存危机。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“As the effects of climate change become clearer and the world faces up to a biodiversity crisis that threatens humanity’s existence, a group of campaigners from across the world are saying there is one clear way to get us out of this mess.(随着气候变化的影响越来越明显，世界面临着威胁人类生存的生物多样性危机，来自世界各地的一群活动家表示，有一种明确的方法可以让我们摆脱困境。)”和第二段“In an open letter published in a British newspaper, the group says that the best and cheapest way to avert a climate disaster is to restore and replant degraded(退化的)forests and better protect the natural world. Vast amounts of harmful carbon can be removed from the air and stored by restoring ecosystems ignored by tree plantations, cattle raising and fish production, the letter says.(在一份英国报纸上发表的一封公开信中，该组织表示，避免气候灾难的最好和最便宜的方法是恢复和重新种植退化的森林，更好地保护自然世界。信中说，大量的有害碳可以通过恢复植树、养牛和养鱼所忽视的生态系统来从空气中清除和储存。)”可知，这些活动家认为保护、恢复和重建天然林的方法可以帮助人类应对气候灾难和生存危机，由此可推测，他们对于世界未来的发展是持积极乐观的态度。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词之前“In an open letter published in a British newspaper, the group says that the best and cheapest way to(在英国一家报纸上发表的一封公开信中，该组织表示，最好、最便宜的方式)”以及划线词之后“a climate disaster is to restore and replant degraded(退化的)forests and better protect the natural world. Vast amounts of harmful carbon can be removed from the air and stored by restoring ecosystems ignored by tree plantations, cattle raising and fish production, the letter says.(气候灾害是恢复和重新种植退化的森林，更好地保护自然世界。信中说，大量的有害碳可以通过恢复植树、养牛和养鱼所忽视的生态系统来从空气中清除和储存。)”可知在这些活动家看来，保护、恢复和重建天然林是最可靠且最便宜的应对气候灾难和生态问题的方法，由此可知此处的意思是指“防止”气候灾难的最好且最便宜的方法就是恢复和重新种植退化的森林，所以划线词与C项prevent(防止)意思相近。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The world faces two existential crises, developing with terrifying speed: climate and ecological breakdown. Neither is being addressed with the urgency needed to prevent our life-support systems from rushing into collapse. (世界面临着两大生存危机，它们正以惊人的速度发展：气候危机和生态崩溃。这两方面的问题也都未得到应有的紧迫处理，以致我们的生命支持系统可能即将崩溃。)”可知，两大生存危机正以惊人的速度发展，如果没有得到及时的解决，将导致我们的生态系统迅速崩溃，由此可推知，这两大危机迫切地需要得到解决。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句“Protecting and restoring natural forests is seen as vital in many countries. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air and store it.(保护和恢复天然林在许多国家被视为至关重要。树木从空气中吸收二氧化碳并储存起来。)”以及最后一句“These countries set an example to other countries in taking action positively to protect nature.(这些国家在采取积极行动保护自然方面为其他国家树立了榜样。)”可知，保护和恢复天然林在许多国家受到了高度的重视，下文列举了巴基斯坦、中国、埃塞俄比亚、尼日尔和马里等国在恢复造林方面的行动，说明了这些国家在积极行动保护环境方面为其他国家树立了榜样，由此可推知，作者在最后一段提及这些国家是为了呼吁其他国家也保护森林，植树造林。故选D项。 D Coral reefs are an integral part of sea life and sustain it by providing shelter and habitat for various organisms. They also supply and recycle nutrients as well as enable a growing fish population, along with other species, for a healthy and diverse ecosystem. However, the rise in average water temperatures due to climate change has resulted in more frequent and longtime coral bleaching (白化现象) events that damage their health, causing fish and other sea species to abandon them. In order to restore this delicate ecosystem, scientists from the UK and Australia conducted a study that involved using loudspeakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them sound healthy and attract fish, potentially kick-starting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and their dependent life forms. The location for this experiment was the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea, found alongside the east coast of Queensland, Australia. The site is noted to have the largest coral reef system in the world. “Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places — the crackle of snapping shrimp, and the whoops and grunts of fish. Young fish concentrate on these sounds when they’re looking for a place to settle,” said Steve Simpson, study co-author and a professor at the University of Exeter, UK. By using loudspeakers to copy such sounds, parts of dead coral reefs were found to attract twice as many fish, compared to places where no sounds were played. “These returning fish are crucial for coral reefs to function as healthy ecosystems. Boosting fish populations in this way could help to kick-start natural recovery processes, preventing the damage we’re seeing on many coral reefs around the world,” said the study’s lead author, Tim Gordon. 12. What causes the phenomenon of coral bleaching? A. Overfishing. B. Diverse species. C. Ocean pollution. D. Rising temperatures. 13. What approach has been introduced to recover coral reefs? A. Removing damaged coral reefs. B. Using loudspeakers to keep fish away. C. Raising artificial coral reefs undersea. D. Playing certain sounds to appeal to fish. 14. Why are Steve Simpson’s words quoted? A. To provide some findings of the study. B. To explain reasons for the new approach. C. To show the progress of the experiment. D. To offer another solution to the problem. 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The attempts are in vain. B. Natural recovery is impossible. C. Initial success has been achieved. D. Coral reefs have returned to normal. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了珊瑚礁在海洋生态系统中的重要性，但由于气候变化导致的水温上升，珊瑚礁频繁出现白化现象，科学家们尝试通过在水下播放声音来吸引鱼类，以促进珊瑚礁的自然恢复。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“ owever, the rise in average water temperatures due to climate change has resulted in more frequent and longtime coral bleaching (白化现象) events that damage their health, causing fish and other sea species to abandon them.(然而，由于气候变化导致的平均水温上升，导致珊瑚白化事件更加频繁和长期，损害了它们的健康，导致鱼类和其他海洋物种抛弃它们。)”可知，气温上升导致了珊瑚白化现象。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In order to restore this delicate ecosystem, scientists from the UK and Australia conducted a study that involved using loudspeakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them sound healthy and attract fish, potentially kick-starting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and their dependent life forms.(为了恢复这一脆弱的生态系统，来自英国和澳大利亚的科学家进行了一项研究，该研究涉及在受损珊瑚礁附近的水下使用扬声器，使其听起来健康并吸引鱼类，从而可能启动珊瑚礁及其依赖的生命形式的自然恢复过程。)”可知，科学家们通过播放某些声音来吸引鱼类以恢复珊瑚礁。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places — the crackle of snapping shrimp, and the whoops and grunts of fish. Young fish concentrate on these sounds when they’re looking for a place to settle.(健康的珊瑚礁是非常嘈杂的地方——有咔嚓咔嚓的虾声，还有鱼的呼噜声和咕噜声。当小鱼在寻找安身之处时，它们会集中注意力听这些声音。)”可知，他的话解释了为什么科学家们选择在水下播放声音来吸引鱼类，即解释了新方法的原因。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“By using loudspeakers to copy such sounds, parts of dead coral reefs were found to attract twice as many fish, compared to places where no sounds were played.(通过使用水下扩音器来模仿这些声音，人们发现部分枯萎的珊瑚礁比没有声音的地方能吸引两倍多的鱼。)”可推知，这一新方法初步取得了成功。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。 Emoji(表情符号) and Workplace Communication In Asia, messaging platforms are growing rapidly, with users in the hundreds of millions, both at work and play. ___16___.

They work together, live together, and play together. The Labrador is literally at Fliss’s side all the time. If a person spent this much time with a friend, they would probably have fallen out by now, but the bond between Molly and her owner just gets stronger over time. Fliss grew up in the city. In 2017, she moved to the seaside where she opened a bath and skincare shop. Upon arrival, she couldn’t believe how much litter was left “senselessly” on the beach. In fact, she was shocked and appalled by the “unavoidable” amount of litter she found while taking Molly for walks. Being a person who cares a lot about her surroundings, Fliss decided that she had to do something about it before the tide carried the litter into the sea, threatening marine life. One day, while collecting litter on the beach, Fliss saw Molly running towards her with an empty water bottle in her mouth. As Molly drew near, she dropped the bottle at Fliss’s feet and set out to find other waste. This gave Fliss an idea: what if she could train Molly to find all those plastic bottles and bags, and make good use of them? The training started and Fliss was surprised at how fast Molly learned. Before long, the clever girl would venture to the seaside on her own and come home with her “prize”. She had soon filled Fliss’s house with pieces of rubbish from the local beach. At one point, Fliss’s garage was 60% filled with beach litter waiting to be distributed to local artists for use in their artwork. When Fliss heard paws on the door the other day, she went to greet her good girl as usual. To her surprise, she saw Molly carrying a small plastic purse in her mouth. Fliss opened the purse and gasped. Inside was a passport, several credit cards, and a bunch of keys. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Fliss immediately took the purse to the local police station. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three days later, a journalist called at Fliss’s shop. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Fliss immediately took the purse to the local police station. With the help of a policeman, she found the anxious owner of the lost property. Molly had been sitting obediently the entire time. When the owner discovered that it was a dog that found her purse, she looked at Molly in wide-eyed amazement. Then her mouth also opened in astonishment after Fliss told her proudly why Molly could find it. Fliss politely refused thank-you gifts but she cooked a large steak for Molly as her reward. Three days later, a journalist called at Fliss’s shop. He came to interview Fliss about Molly’s magnificent feat. Fliss seized the chance to express her concern for the environmental pollution and took him to the beach to show how Molly collected litter. When Molly dropped a bottle to his feet, the journalist felt a strong sense of responsibility — if a dog could care for the environment, why not people? He made up his mind to publish Fliss and Molly’s contribution to the ocean environment. To help, he picked up a plastic bag a short distance away. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了弗里斯和她狗狗莫莉有着特殊的感情，他们一起工作，一起生活，一起玩耍。当他们搬到海滩的时候，弗里斯开始带着狗捡垃圾，这天莫莉捡到了一个钱包，里面有一本护照，几张信用卡和一串钥匙。在警察的帮助下，弗里斯找到了焦急的失主，记者还来采访了莫莉。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“弗里斯立即把钱包带到了当地警察局”可知，第一段可描写弗里斯归还钱包的经过以及失主的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“三天后，一位记者来到弗里斯的店里”可知，第二段可描写记者报道了他们的事迹，弗里斯鼓舞更多的人保护环境。 2.续写线索：弗里斯归还钱包——找到失主——失主惊讶——记者报道——弗里斯表达对环境污染的关注——记者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：make up one’s mind/decide ②表达：express/extend ③拒绝：refuse/turn down 情绪类 ①顺从：obediently/ submissively ②惊讶：astonishment /surprise 【点睛】[高分句型1] Fliss told her proudly why Molly could find it.

From there they make a list of favorites, cutting it down from 60 to 40 and then finally to 20, during a heated debate in Seattle. It’s a long process where emotions run high. Below are 4 of the top 20 picks of 2023, along with quotes (引述) from the editors. Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano “Ann Napolitano creates a touching story that centers on the Padavano sisters, who are close to each other — until they aren’t. Hello Beautiful offers big emotions, and that’s exactly what makes it so powerful and so page-turning, which is why we named it the Best Book of 2023 So Far.” — Al Woodworth Weyward by Emilia Hart “Though divided by centuries, three women, who share a unique connection to the natural world and to one another, tell their attractive stories of ill treatment, danger, and adaptability in a beautifully written novel that is an impressive read.” — Seira Wilson Poverty, by America by Matthew Desmond “In 200 powerful and critical pages, Matthew Desmond lays out a clear explanation of inequality that will make you rage (发怒), give in, and feel shame. This book may not be the easiest read, but it’s one of the most important ones.” — Lindsay Powers King: A Life by Jonathan Eig “Eig’s best description of Martin Luther King Jr. is an amazing achievement of writing and research, telling the hardships and heroics of a man who changed the world. This is biography at its absolute finest.” — Al Woodworth 1. How many books have been finally chosen as the best of 2023 by Amazon editors? A. Four. B. Twenty. C. Forty. D. Sixty. 2.

This smart technology seemed like an entrance to fun and positive things like chatting with friends and blogging. However, six years later, I had become horribly chained to it. Recent reports show that I’m not the only one. According to a 2017 study the average American spends 5 hours a day on smart devices and about 2.5 hours are spent on social media, messaging, news and entertainment applications. It’s hard to explain when the love and joy I felt for my iPhone turned into dependency. But now, I fall asleep next to my phone every night and wake to it each morning. I check the weather app every morning before I choose how to dress for the day. I use it to help me navigate(导航)a city I should know well enough on my own. I update my inbox every time I pick up my phone. As with any addiction, my phone dependency began to impact my life. While spending time with family, I’d stare into a small screen on my lap instead of engaging at a level I would have a few years back. At work, my productivity levels dropped. And then, my four-year relationship came to an end. Eventually, I was left with years of memories and a mobile phone that couldn’t provide enjoyable company across the dinner table, share the joys of experiencing a concert or kiss me goodnight before bed. Now, I move through life with more purpose and intention. I’ve cut back on carelessly giving away my limited time and attention to my phone. Instead, I focused my efforts on being as present as possible. Training the mind to stay present is a long and challenging road, but it’s important to start somewhere. I hope you’ll take a deep look at your own phone habits and reevaluate how important a role you are letting it play in your life. Whether or not you’ve reached a place in your life where your screen time feels problematic, there’s no harm in mindfully giving your current practices some thought. 4 What can best describe Americans’ use of smart technology? A. They are ruined by it. B. They are inspired by it. C. They are tied to it D. They are good at it. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. She became addicted to a mobile phone. B. She benefited a lot from a mobile phone. C. She felt joyful when using a mobile phone. D. She lived a colorful life with a mobile phone. 6. What was the bad effect of a mobile phone on the author? A. She became short-sighted. B. She became less efficient at work. C. She was disliked by her family. D. She didn’t have a mind of her own. 7. What is implied in the last paragraph? A. Everyone should reassess their screen time. B. People are too dependent on mobile phones. C. Mobile phones have side effects on people’s lives. D. It’s time for everyone to put their mobile phone aside. C As the effects of climate change become clearer and the world faces up to a biodiversity crisis that threatens humanity’s existence, a group of campaigners from across the world are saying there is one clear way to get us out of this mess. In an open letter published in a British newspaper, the group says that the best and cheapest way to avert a climate disaster is to restore and replant degraded(退化的)forests and better protect the natural world. Vast amounts of harmful carbon can be removed from the air and stored by restoring ecosystems ignored by tree plantations, cattle raising and fish production, the letter says. The world faces two existential crises, developing with terrifying speed: climate and ecological breakdown. Neither is being addressed with the urgency needed to prevent our life-support systems from rushing into collapse. They call for the defense, restoration and re-establishment of forests, salt marshes, natural seabeds and other crucial ecosystems, to remove and store large amounts of carbon from the air. Protecting and restoring these ecosystems could help reduce a sixth great extinction to the lowest possible level. Nearly a third of the greenhouse gas reductions needed to hold temperatures to a 1.5℃(2.7°F) rise can be provided by the restoration of natural habitats, according to journalist and author George Monbiot. Technology alone cannot solve climate change, Monbiot writes in The Guardian. Much of the technology used to capture carbon is expensive and could cause problems when used on a large scale. The cheapest and surest approach, he writes, is to restore natural forests and allow native trees to be planted on deforested land. Protecting and restoring natural forests is seen as vital in many countries. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air and store it. Pakistan has just planted 1 billion trees. China plans to create forests totaling the size of Ireland. And in Africa, Ethiopia, Niger and Mali are among countries that strongly back the reforestation of degraded land. These countries set an example to other countries in taking action positively to protect nature. 8. What is the campaigners’ view about the world’s future? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful. 9. Which of the following can replace “avert” underlined in paragraph 2? A. bring B. predict C. prevent D. recognize 10. What can be inferred about the two existential crises? A. They result from deforestation. B. They urgently need to be addressed. C. They can be solved by technology alone. D. They have led to the collapse of ecosystems. 11. Why does the author mention some countries in the last paragraph? A. To provide a solution to ecological imbalance. B. To present the benefits of planting trees on our planet. C. To prove the importance of trees in tackling climate crises. D. To appeal to other countries to protect and restore forests. D Coral reefs are an integral part of sea life and sustain it by providing shelter and habitat for various organisms. They also supply and recycle nutrients as well as enable a growing fish population, along with other species, for a healthy and diverse ecosystem. However, the rise in average water temperatures due to climate change has resulted in more frequent and longtime coral bleaching (白化现象) events that damage their health, causing fish and other sea species to abandon them. In order to restore this delicate ecosystem, scientists from the UK and Australia conducted a study that involved using loudspeakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them sound healthy and attract fish, potentially kick-starting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and their dependent life forms. The location for this experiment was the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea, found alongside the east coast of Queensland, Australia. The site is noted to have the largest coral reef system in the world. “Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places — the crackle of snapping shrimp, and the whoops and grunts of fish. Young fish concentrate on these sounds when they’re looking for a place to settle,” said Steve Simpson, study co-author and a professor at the University of Exeter, UK. By using loudspeakers to copy such sounds, parts of dead coral reefs were found to attract twice as many fish, compared to places where no sounds were played. “These returning fish are crucial for coral reefs to function as healthy ecosystems. Boosting fish populations in this way could help to kick-start natural recovery processes, preventing the damage we’re seeing on many coral reefs around the world,” said the study’s lead author, Tim Gordon. 12. What causes the phenomenon of coral bleaching? A. Overfishing. B. Diverse species. C. Ocean pollution. D. Rising temperatures. 13. What approach has been introduced to recover coral reefs? A. Removing damaged coral reefs. B. Using loudspeakers to keep fish away. C. Raising artificial coral reefs undersea. D. Playing certain sounds to appeal to fish. 14. Why are Steve Simpson’s words quoted? A. To provide some findings of the study. B. To explain reasons for the new approach. C. To show the progress of the experiment. D. To offer another solution to the problem. 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The attempts are in vain. B. Natural recovery is impossible. C. Initial success has been achieved. D. Coral reefs have returned to normal. 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。 Emoji(表情符号) and Workplace Communication In Asia, messaging platforms are growing rapidly, with users in the hundreds of millions, both at work and play. ___16___.

They work together, live together, and play together. The Labrador is literally at Fliss’s side all the time. If a person spent this much time with a friend, they would probably have fallen out by now, but the bond between Molly and her owner just gets stronger over time. Fliss grew up in the city. In 2017, she moved to the seaside where she opened a bath and skincare shop. Upon arrival, she couldn’t believe how much litter was left “senselessly” on the beach. In fact, she was shocked and appalled by the “unavoidable” amount of litter she found while taking Molly for walks. Being a person who cares a lot about her surroundings, Fliss decided that she had to do something about it before the tide carried the litter into the sea, threatening marine life. One day, while collecting litter on the beach, Fliss saw Molly running towards her with an empty water bottle in her mouth. As Molly drew near, she dropped the bottle at Fliss’s feet and set out to find other waste. This gave Fliss an idea: what if she could train Molly to find all those plastic bottles and bags, and make good use of them? The training started and Fliss was surprised at how fast Molly learned. Before long, the clever girl would venture to the seaside on her own and come home with her “prize”. She had soon filled Fliss’s house with pieces of rubbish from the local beach. At one point, Fliss’s garage was 60% filled with beach litter waiting to be distributed to local artists for use in their artwork. When Fliss heard paws on the door the other day, she went to greet her good girl as usual. To her surprise, she saw Molly carrying a small plastic purse in her mouth. Fliss opened the purse and gasped. Inside was a passport, several credit cards, and a bunch of keys. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Fliss immediately took the purse to the local police station ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three days later, a journalist called at Fliss’s shop. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
