Ruth was born in Ohio in 1937. After her family moved to Cincinnati, she studied at the University of Cincinnati. After graduation, she married her sweetheart. They had a happy 62-year marriage with four children, ten grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. “Grandma always had fun crafts (手艺) for us to do, and made up songs and games to play...definitely the teacher in her!” Ruth’s granddaughter Woodford shared. Woodford described her grandma as an incredibly supportive figure, always present at grandchildren’s events with smiles on her face. But around the age of 79, Ruth was found suffering from Alzheimer s disease. According to the Mayo Clinic, early in the disease, people may be aware of having trouble remembering things and thinking clearly. Over time, memory gets worse and other symptoms (症状) occur. So Ruth’s husband helped her move into a retirement community. In 2021, her daughters moved her to an assisted living facility and then to a memory care wing. The doctors there told Ruth’s family that brief moments when memories resurface are highly beneficial for the patient, who gets to see the person she once knew. On New Year’s Day, Woodford invited Marilyn, who had been close friends with the Lamberts for decades, for dinner as a surprise for her grandma. “To our delight, grandma recognizes Marilyn. They sit and talk and laugh, and it’s absolutely precious. What’s really amazing is that Marilyn is still extremely sharp, and she is 92!” Woodford explained. The holiday reunion (团聚) of Ruth and Marilyn has deeply moved many people who shared their own experiences in the comments. It has made people realize the importance of treasuring every moment with their loved ones. 4. What can we know about Ruth from the first paragraph? A. She has a loving family. B.

They had a happy 62 - year marriage with four children, ten grandchildren, and four great - grandchildren.(毕业后，她嫁给了她的爱人。他们拥有一段幸福的62年婚姻，育有四个孩子、十个孙子孙女和四个曾孙)”可知，Ruth有一个充满爱的家庭。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Grandma always had fun crafts (手艺)for us to do, and made up songs and games to play... definitely the teacher in her!(奶奶总是有有趣的手艺让我们做，还编歌曲和游戏来玩……她身上绝对有教师的特质！)”以及“Woodford described her grandma as an incredibly supportive figure(Woodford形容她的奶奶是一个极其支持他们的人)”可知，Woodford认为她的奶奶既热情（总是支持他们）又有创造力（会编歌曲和游戏）。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The doctors there told Ruth’s family that brief moments when memories resurface are highly beneficial for the patient, who gets to see the person she once knew.(那里的医生告诉Ruth的家人，记忆重现的短暂时刻对病人非常有益，病人可以看看她曾经认识的人)”以及第四段“On New Year’s Day, Woodford invited Marilyn, who had been close friends with the Lamberts for decades, for dinner as a surprise for her grandma.(新年那天，Woodford邀请了与Lambert一家做了几十年亲密朋友的Marilyn来吃晚餐，给她奶奶一个惊喜)”可知，Woodford邀请Marilyn来吃晚餐是为了帮助她的奶奶回忆起过去的记忆。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第四段“On New Year’s Day, Woodford invited Marilyn, who had been close friends with the Lamberts for decades, for dinner as a surprise for her grandma. “To our delight, grandma recognizes Marilyn. They sit and talk and laugh, and it’s absolutely precious.(新年那天，Woodford邀请了与Lambert一家做了几十年亲密朋友的Marilyn来吃晚餐，给她奶奶一个惊喜。“令我们高兴的是，祖母认出了玛丽莲。她们坐在一起谈天说笑，这一幕无比珍贵。”）” 以及最后一段 “The holiday reunion (团聚)of Ruth and Marilyn has deeply moved many people, who shared their own experiences in the comments.(Ruth 和 Marilyn 的节日团聚深深感动了许多人，他们在评论中分享了自己的经历)”可知，文章主要讲述了患有阿尔茨海默病的Ruth Lambert的故事，她曾拥有幸福的家庭，患病后，孙女Woodford为帮助她回忆过去，邀请她的老友Marilyn在新年团聚，这次团聚令人感动，也让人们意识到珍惜与亲人相处时光的重要性。所以短文主要讲述一个温暖人心的故事。故选B项。 C Researchers have discovered the remains of a medieval (中世纪的)city in the mountains of southeastern Uzbekistan, high above the Silk Road. This finding was made possible by drones (无人机)equipped with lidar, a remote sensing method that can create detailed 3D maps. The main city, called Tugunbulak, was active between the 6th and 11th centuries. It is located at about 7,200 feet above sea level—comparable to Machu Picchu in Peru. The remains cover nearly 300 acres, making it one of the largest regional settlements of its time. Lidar images showed five watchtowers connected by walls along the mountain ridges, as well as a central fortress protected by thick stone and mud-brick walls. It’s hard to picture cities of this size growing in a snow-covered environment with strong winds. The long winters and dry land made large-scale farming nearly impossible—a fact that may explain why historians mostly overlooked this remote region for so long. Yet experts believe these high cities were more than just places to live. Tugunbulak’s location would have made it easier to harness strong mountain winds for metalworking. Researchers have found what appears to be a workshop where ancient smiths (铁匠)may have made swords, armor, or tools. “By mid-morning, the ground heats from the sun and winds rush up the mountainsides, perfect conditions for metalworking,” explains Michael Frachetti, who leads the study. Frachetti thinks Tugunbulak’s economy relied heavily on blacksmithing and other metalwork. Iron and steel were in high demand, and these mountains likely supplied metal goods to traders on the Silk Road. For years, historians focused on lowland kingdoms of Uzbekistan, often ignoring the highlands. The discovery of Tugunbulak shows that mountain communities had complex societies, and busy economies. “Further research will throw more light on who these people were, but it’s already clear that they developed their own ways of life, separate from the typical agricultural societies of their time,” says Fazchetti. 8. What did the researchers discover in southeastern Uzbekistan? A. A perfect place to test advanced drones. B. A scientific method of surveying the land. C. The farming practices in the mountain areas. D. The remains of an ancient city in the mountains. 9. Why did historians mostly ignore the highland region? A. It was explored in the 11th century. B. It is packed with sand in summer. C. It is too challenging for agriculture. D. It once featured a large population. 10. What does the underlined word “harness” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Use. B. Stop. C. Record. D. Survive. 11. What can we infer about the finding? A. It focuses on lowland kingdoms of Uzbekistan. B. It offers new insights into mountain populations. C. It shows the mountain areas are under-developed. D. It explains agricultural societies are advantageous. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍研究人员借助配备激光雷达的无人机，在乌兹别克斯坦东南部山区发现一座中世纪城市遗迹Tugunbulak。该城市遗迹规模较大，虽地处环境恶劣不适合大规模农业的地区，但因特殊地理位置利于金属加工，可能为丝绸之路的商人提供金属制品。此发现为研究山区居民的社会和经济状况提供新视角。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Researchers have discovered the remains of a medieval (中世纪的) city in the mountains of southeastern Uzbekistan, high above the Silk Road.(研究人员在乌兹别克斯坦东南部山区，丝绸之路上方高处，发现了一座中世纪城市的遗迹)”可知，研究人员在乌兹别克斯坦东南部发现了山区中一座古城的遗迹。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The long winters and dry land made large-scale farming nearly impossible—a fact that may explain why historians mostly overlooked this remote region for so long.(漫长的冬季和干旱的土地使得大规模农业几乎无法实现——这一事实或许可以解释为什么历史学家长期以来大多忽视了这个偏远地区)”可知，历史学家大多忽视该高地地区是因为它对农业来说挑战太大。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的““By mid-morning, the ground heats from the sun and winds rush up the mountainsides, perfect conditions for metalworking,” explains Michael Frachetti, who leads the study.(“到上午中旬，地面被太阳加热，风顺着山坡吹上来，这是金属加工的绝佳条件”该研究的负责人迈克尔·弗拉切蒂解释道)”可知，Tugunbulak的地理位置使利用强山风进行金属加工变得更容易，所以“harness”意思是“Use（利用）”。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The discovery of Tugunbulak shows that mountain communities had complex societies, and busy economies. “Further research will throw more light on who these people were, but it s already clear that they developed their own ways of life, separate from the typical agricultural societies of their time,” says Fazchetti.(Tugunbulak的发现表明山区社区拥有复杂的社会和繁荣的经济。“进一步的研究将更清楚地揭示这些人是谁，但已经很明显的是，他们发展出了自己的生活方式，与当时典型的农业社会不同”弗拉切蒂说)”可知，这一发现为了解山区人口提供了新的见解。故选B项。 D Dolphins are some of the noisiest and smartest animals in the ocean. They live in groups and use many different sounds—clicks, whistles (哨声), and buzzing noises—to communicate with each other and find their way underwater. One of the most interesting things about dolphins is that they use special whistles as names. These “signature whistles” are unique to each dolphin. The whistles are produced by one individual and repeated by another—like saying “Jeff, Jeff”—to re-establish contact. This shows dolphins can learn and remember sounds, which is a big step for animal communication. But dolphins have-another talent: they appear to be using a wide range of whistles that are not names. So far, researchers have identified 22 of these “non-signature whistles” used by dozens of dolphins. “We have these non-signature whistles that seem like they could function like words of some kind, with specific meanings,” says Laela Sayigh, a marine biologist, Two of the whistles—with the catchy names NSWA and NSWB—seem to have special uses, one sounding an alarm, the other asking a question, respectively. The research comes from the Sarasota Dolphin Research Program in Florida. For over 40years, scientists have been recording dolphin sounds using special underwater microphones and tags (标签) attached to the dolphins’ backs. These tags record high-quality sounds and movement underwater, helping scientists build a huge library of dolphin calls. In one case, two dolphins heard their own signature whistles played from a speaker. They answered with the NSWB whistle—maybe asking, “What’s going on?” In another case, when NSWA was played, many dolphins swam away, which made researchers think it might be an alarm sound. Although it’s still too early to say dolphins have a full language like humans, clearly there’s a lot of complexity in what they do as it is. They use names, ask questions, and maybe even warn each other of danger. If any animal can “talk” in a language-like way, dolphins might just be the best example we have. 12. What is the purpose of “signature whistles” for dolphins? A. To attract their mates. B. To identify themselves. C. To drive away hunters. D. To find food underwater. 13. Why do scientists conduct the Sarasota Dolphin Research Program? A. To train dolphins to perform tasks. B. To build a theme park about dolphins. C. To ensure dolphins live in clean waters. D. To study dolphin sounds and movement. 14. One dolphin probably produces the NSWA whistle when ______ . A. the food is sufficient. B. it greets another dolphin. C. a danger is approaching. D. it wants to ask a question. 15. What can be learned about dolphin communication from the text? A. It is quite easy to understand. B. It is a fully developed language. C. It is available to a range of sea life. D. It is complex with various functions. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海豚复杂的语音交流系统。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“One of the most interesting things about dolphins is that they use special whistles as names. These “signature whistles” are unique to each dolphin. The whistles are produced by one individual and repeated by another—like saying “Jeff, Jeff”—to re-establish contact.(关于海豚最有趣的事情之一是它们使用特殊的哨声作为名字。这些“签名哨声”对每只海豚来说都是独一无二的。一只海豚发出这种哨声，另一只海豚重复它——就像说‘杰夫，杰夫’——来重新建立联系)”可知，“签名哨声”的作用是海豚用于识别自己，就如同它们独特的名字。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“For over 40 years, scientists have been recording dolphin sounds using special underwater microphones and tags (标签)attached to the dolphins’ backs. These tags record high-quality sounds and movement underwater, helping scientists build a huge library of dolphin calls.(40多年来，科学家们一直使用特殊的水下麦克风和附着在海豚背上的标签来记录海豚的声音。这些标签记录水下的高质量声音和行动，帮助科学家建立一个庞大的海豚叫声库)”可知，科学家进行萨拉索塔海豚研究项目的目的是研究海豚的声音和行动。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“In another case, when NSWA was played, many dolphins swam away, which made researchers think it might be an alarm sound.(在另一个案例中，当播放NSWA哨声时，许多海豚游走了，这让研究人员认为它可能是一种警报声)”可推断，当危险临近时，一只海豚可能会发出NSWA哨声。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Although it’s still too early to say dolphins have a full language like humans, clearly there’s a lot of complexity in what they do as it is. They use names, ask questions, and maybe even warn each other of danger.(虽然现在说海豚拥有像人类一样完整的语言还为时过早，但显然它们的交流方式本身就有很多复杂性。它们使用名字，提出问题，甚至可能互相警告危险)”可知，从文中可以了解到海豚的交流方式复杂且具有多种功能。故选D项。 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。 Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires, can strike at any time and cause serious harm. ____16____.

It was the first time we had ever taken part in such an outdoor adventure, and we couldn’t wait to explore the national park. Early Saturday morning, after a short safety briefing from our instructor Mr. Turner, we set off on the hiking trail (小径) with our backpacks, water bottles, and maps. Everyone was full of energy and excitement. The sun was shining, birds were singing, and the light wind made the air feel fresh and clean. As we walked along the narrow dirt path, we chatted happily and took photos of wildflowers, butterflies, and even a deer in the distance. After two hours of hiking, we reached a hilltop that offered a breathtaking view of the green valley below. We sat on a big rock, ate some snacks, and laughed as we shared our favorite parts of the trip so far. Then Clara pointed to a spot on the map. “There’s a waterfall nearby,” she said. “Let’s go to find it!” I agreed, and we decided to explore a little deeper into the woods. We told Mr. Turner and he reminded us not to go too far. The deeper we walked, the quieter it became. The tall trees blocked out most of the sunlight, and the path beneath our feet became slippery (滑的) with leaves and moss. About half an hour later, we heard the sound of rushing water and quickened our pace (步伐)，excited to finally see the waterfall. But just as we thought we were close, the sky suddenly darkened. The wind picked up, and the thunder rolled in the distance. I looked at Clara, and for the first time that day, I saw worry on her face. We had no umbrellas and were far from the main trail. We hesitated, unsure whether to turn back or move forward. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 The first drop of rain fell on my face as the thunder rolled again. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We held hands and struggled through the dark forest. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The first drop of rain fell on my face as the thunder rolled again. We looked up nervously as the sky turned almost completely dark. Within minutes, rain poured down, soaking our clothes and blurring our vision. I grabbed Clara’s arm as a flash of lightning lit up the forest. “We can’t stay here!” she cried. The narrow trail was now muddy and hard to follow. I could barely see where we were stepping, but we had no choice. I pulled her gently and pointed ahead, “Let’s move — quickly, before it gets worse.” We held hands and struggled through the dark forest. Branches scratched our arms and legs as we rushed forward, dodging rocks and fallen logs. My heart pounded with fear, but I knew we had to stay calm. Just as I was concerned that we were completely lost, we spotted a small wooden sign. “Main Trail — 200 meters,” it read. We followed the arrow and soon heard voices. Mr. Turner and two classmates were waiting for us with flashlights. At that moment, I finally felt safe again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者和朋友克拉拉参加学校自然探索营时，因寻找瀑布而深入森林，却遭遇突如其来的暴风雨，在黑暗森林中迷路后最终找到主路并获救的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当雷声再次响起时，第一滴雨落在了我的脸上”可知，第一段可描写暴风雨来临后，作者和克拉拉在森林中艰难应对恶劣天气，意识到必须尽快行动，寻找安全的地方。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们手牵手，在黑暗的森林中艰难前行”可知，第二段可描写作者和克拉拉在黑暗森林中互相扶持，克服恐惧和困难，最终找到主路并获救，感受到安全与温暖。 2.续写线索：突降暴雨，处境危急——决定行动，艰难前行——手牵着手，林中跋涉——发现指示，看到希望——遇到同伴，成功脱险。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住某人的手臂：grabb one’s arm/held one’s arm tightly/took hold of one’s arm ②向前指：pointed ahead/gesture forward/indicate the direction ahead ③向前冲：rush forward/sprint ahead/hurry on 情绪类 ①紧张地：nervously/anxiously/with tension ②害怕：fear/terror/fright 【点睛】【高分句型1】We looked up nervously as the sky turned almost completely dark.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】I could barely see where we were stepping, but we had no choice.（运用了where引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024～2025学年第二学期高一7月期末总结考 英语 考生注意： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 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.

After her family moved to Cincinnati, she studied at the University of Cincinnati. After graduation, she married her sweetheart. They had a happy 62-year marriage with four children, ten grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. “Grandma always had fun crafts (手艺) for us to do, and made up songs and games to play...definitely the teacher in her!” Ruth’s granddaughter Woodford shared. Woodford described her grandma as an incredibly supportive figure, always present at grandchildren’s events with smiles on her face. But around the age of 79, Ruth was found suffering from Alzheimer s disease. According to the Mayo Clinic, early in the disease, people may be aware of having trouble remembering things and thinking clearly. Over time, memory gets worse and other symptoms (症状) occur. So Ruth’s husband helped her move into a retirement community. In 2021, her daughters moved her to an assisted living facility and then to a memory care wing. The doctors there told Ruth’s family that brief moments when memories resurface are highly beneficial for the patient, who gets to see the person she once knew. On New Year’s Day, Woodford invited Marilyn, who had been close friends with the Lamberts for decades, for dinner as a surprise for her grandma. “To our delight, grandma recognizes Marilyn. They sit and talk and laugh, and it’s absolutely precious. What’s really amazing is that Marilyn is still extremely sharp, and she is 92!” Woodford explained. The holiday reunion (团聚) of Ruth and Marilyn has deeply moved many people, who shared their own experiences in the comments. It has made people realize the importance of treasuring every moment with their loved ones. 4. What can we know about Ruth from the first paragraph? A. She has a loving family. B. She is into digital products. C. She used to be a teacher. D. She was born in Cincinnati. 5. What does Woodford think of her grandma? A. Humorous but strict. B. Warm and creative. C. Caring but impatient. D. Generous and brave. 6. Why did Woodford invite Marilyn for dinner on New Year’s Day? A. To pass down a long-held tradition. B. To honour a sharp-eyed neighbour. C. To help her grandma recall memories. D. To give a complete surprise to Marilyn. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. An old people’s home. B. A heartwarming story. C. An inspiring teenager. D. A laboratory experiment. C Researchers have discovered the remains of a medieval (中世纪的)city in the mountains of southeastern Uzbekistan, high above the Silk Road. This finding was made possible by drones (无人机)equipped with lidar, a remote sensing method that can create detailed 3D maps. The main city, called Tugunbulak, was active between the 6th and 11th centuries. It is located at about 7,200 feet above sea level—comparable to Machu Picchu in Peru. The remains cover nearly 300 acres, making it one of the largest regional settlements of its time. Lidar images showed five watchtowers connected by walls along the mountain ridges, as well as a central fortress protected by thick stone and mud-brick walls. It’s hard to picture cities of this size growing in a snow-covered environment with strong winds. The long winters and dry land made large-scale farming nearly impossible—a fact that may explain why historians mostly overlooked this remote region for so long. Yet experts believe these high cities were more than just places to live. Tugunbulak’s location would have made it easier to harness strong mountain winds for metalworking. Researchers have found what appears to be a workshop where ancient smiths (铁匠)may have made swords, armor, or tools. “By mid-morning, the ground heats from the sun and winds rush up the mountainsides, perfect conditions for metalworking,” explains Michael Frachetti, who leads the study. Frachetti thinks Tugunbulak’s economy relied heavily on blacksmithing and other metalwork. Iron and steel were in high demand and these mountains likely supplied metal goods to traders on the Silk Road. For years, historians focused on lowland kingdoms of Uzbekistan, often ignoring the highlands. The discovery of Tugunbulak shows that mountain communities had complex societies, and busy economies. “Further research will throw more light on who these people were, but it’s already clear that they developed their own ways of life, separate from the typical agricultural societies of their time,” says Fazchetti. 8. What did the researchers discover in southeastern Uzbekistan? A. A perfect place to test advanced drones. B. A scientific method of surveying the land. C. The farming practices in the mountain areas. D. The remains of an ancient city in the mountains. 9. Why did historians mostly ignore the highland region? A. It was explored in the 11th century. B. It is packed with sand in summer. C. It is too challenging for agriculture. D. It once featured a large population. 10. What does the underlined word “harness” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Use. B. Stop. C. Record. D. Survive. 11. What can we infer about the finding? A. It focuses on lowland kingdoms of Uzbekistan. B. It offers new insights into mountain populations. C. It shows the mountain areas are under-developed. D. It explains agricultural societies are advantageous. D Dolphins are some of the noisiest and smartest animals in the ocean. They live in groups and use many different sounds—clicks, whistles (哨声), and buzzing noises—to communicate with each other and find their way underwater. One of the most interesting things about dolphins is that they use special whistles as names. These “signature whistles” are unique to each dolphin. The whistles are produced by one individual and repeated by another—like saying “Jeff, Jeff”—to re-establish contact. This shows dolphins can learn and remember sounds, which is a big step for animal communication. But dolphins have-another talent: they appear to be using a wide range of whistles that are not names. So far, researchers have identified 22 of these “non-signature whistles” used by dozens of dolphins. “We have these non-signature whistles that seem like they could function like words of some kind, with specific meanings,” says Laela Sayigh, a marine biologist, Two of the whistles—with the catchy names NSWA and NSWB—seem to have special uses, one sounding an alarm, the other asking a question, respectively. The research comes from the Sarasota Dolphin Research Program in Florida. For over 40years, scientists have been recording dolphin sounds using special underwater microphones and tags (标签) attached to the dolphins’ backs. These tags record high-quality sounds and movement underwater, helping scientists build a huge library of dolphin calls. In one case, two dolphins heard their own signature whistles played from a speaker. They answered with the NSWB whistle—maybe asking, “What’s going on?” In another case, when NSWA was played, many dolphins swam away, which made researchers think it might be an alarm sound. Although it’s still too early to say dolphins have a full language like humans, clearly there’s a lot of complexity in what they do as it is. They use names, ask questions, and maybe even warn each other of danger. If any animal can “talk” in a language-like way, dolphins might just be the best example we have. 12. What is the purpose of “signature whistles” for dolphins? A. To attract their mates. B. To identify themselves. C. To drive away hunters. D. To find food underwater. 13. Why do scientists conduct the Sarasota Dolphin Research Program? A. To train dolphins to perform tasks. B. To build a theme park about dolphins. C. To ensure dolphins live in clean waters. D. To study dolphin sounds and movement. 14. One dolphin probably produces the NSWA whistle when ______ . A. the food is sufficient. B. it greets another dolphin. C. a danger is approaching.

It was the first time we had ever taken part in such an outdoor adventure, and we couldn’t wait to explore the national park. Early Saturday morning, after a short safety briefing from our instructor Mr. Turner, we set off on the hiking trail (小径) with our backpacks, water bottles, and maps. Everyone was full of energy and excitement. The sun was shining, birds were singing, and the light wind made the air feel fresh and clean. As we walked along the narrow dirt path, we chatted happily and took photos of wildflowers, butterflies, and even a deer in the distance. After two hours of hiking, we reached a hilltop that offered a breathtaking view of the green valley below. We sat on a big rock, ate some snacks, and laughed as we shared our favorite parts of the trip so far. Then Clara pointed to a spot on the map. “There’s a waterfall nearby,” she said. “Let’s go to find it!” I agreed, and we decided to explore a little deeper into the woods. We told Mr. Turner and he reminded us not to go too far. The deeper we walked, the quieter it became. The tall trees blocked out most of the sunlight, and the path beneath our feet became slippery (滑的) with leaves and moss. About half an hour later, we heard the sound of rushing water and quickened our pace (步伐)，excited to finally see the waterfall. But just as we thought we were close, the sky suddenly darkened. The wind picked up, and the thunder rolled in the distance. I looked at Clara, and for the first time that day, I saw worry on her face. We had no umbrellas and were far from the main trail. We hesitated, unsure whether to turn back or move forward. 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。 The first drop of rain fell on my face as the thunder rolled again. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We held hands and struggled through the dark forest. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
