The Booderee National Park It offers a protected habitat (栖息地) for native wildlife against high cliffs and white beaches. While summer is good for visiting due to the excellent weather, a special event takes place in June and July when whales come back with their babies. Educational tours are fit for school groups to get close to nature. There are a range of activities such as camping, diving and nature walks. The Norfolk Island National Park The history of the Park is eye-catching, so you might want to check out how Captain James Cook got here and why. You can picnic and have a nice barbecue around the highest point on the island, Mount Bates. Another tourist attraction is Phillip Island, six kilometers away from Norfolk, home to many seabirds. The Uluru National Park If you’re into learning more about Aboriginals (土著居民) and their influence on the world, you mustn’t miss it, where Tjukurpa stories come from about native songs and dances. The rocks here are extremely loved because they seem to change color during sunrise and sunset. So the spot is also great for walking, considering the knowledge and stories on the rocks’ shapes and purpose for humans. The Kakadu National Park It has the longest historical records of Aboriginal people living there, which have been carved in the rock art made by Indigenous civilizations over the years. The Park has remarkable rivers and floodplains that go through the rich ecosystem. With more than 280 species of birds, 117 reptile species and 74 mammals, the park is a joy to the eye of the traveler. 21. What makes the Booderee National Park special? A. Whales’ return. B. Nature walks. C. Wildlife habitat. D. Educational tours. 22. Where can you learn about Captain James Cook? A. The Uluru National Park. B. The Kakadu National Park. C. The Booderee National Park. D. The Norfolk Island National Park. 23. What do the Uluru National Park and the Kakadu National Park have in common? A. Rock colors. B. Rock shapes. C. Native culture. D. Rich wildlife. 【答案】21. A 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了澳大利亚的四所国家公园。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Booderee National Park中“While summer is good for visiting due to the excellent weather, a special event takes place in June and July when whales come back with their babies. (由于天气好，夏天是游览的好季节，而6月和7月会有一个特别的活动，那时鲸鱼带着它们的孩子回来)”可知，波特里国家公园的特别之处在于冬季鲸鱼的返回。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Norfolk Island National Park中“The history of the Park is eye-catching, so you might want to check out how Captain James Cook got here and why. (公园的历史是引人注目的，所以你可能想看看James Cook船长是如何来到这里的，以及为什么来到这里)”可知，在诺福克岛国家公园，你可以了解James Cook船长的相关信息。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Uluru National Park中“If you’re into learning more about Aboriginals (土著居民) and their influence on the world, you mustn’t miss it, where Tjukurpa stories come from about native songs and dances. (如果你想更多地了解土著居民及其对世界的影响，你一定不能错过这里，Tjukurpa的故事来自当地的歌曲和舞蹈)”和The Kakadu National Park中“It has the longest historical records of Aboriginal people living there, which have been carved in the rock art made by Indigenous civilizations over the years. (土著居民居住在这里的历史记录是最悠久的，这些记录被土著文明多年来雕刻在岩石艺术上)”知，乌鲁鲁国家公园和卡卡杜国家公园的共同之处在于两者都拥有本土文化。故选C项。 B When you think about who’s responsible for a city’s safety, what people come to mind? Police officers, firefighters or emergency response teams? Would you put your local meteorologist (气象预报员) in this group? That’s the career Ashley Ruiz chose, and she’s now the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ruiz predicts the weather for her community. In 2020, a tornado hit Ruiz’s hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee — and, even closer to home, her house. So she said she knew what a lifesaving job this could be. However, her job isn’t without difficulties. “Hearing people have been injured, like in a big hurricane, is really hard,” she said. “We try our best to predict the weather as best as we can, and we are getting better. But it can always change.” Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns. She said, “We are absolutely seeing changes in weather, with more intense and more frequent storms, which relate to climate change.” Weather is changing everywhere, as the planet warms. There are more frequent droughts, stronger storms, and increasing temperature changes. This makes predicting the weather difficult. Ruiz always knew she was interested in weather and how it affected the world. But her path to a career in meteorology wasn’t easy. She said, “I struggled so hard with math and wanted to give up. But I kept pushing and working hard, and now I’m the first woman chief meteorologist in the Baton Rouge TV market. I’m proud of that.” She wants kids to know they should never give up on their education or their dreams. 24. Why was the disaster in Ruiz’s hometown mentioned in the text? A. To call on people to prepare for disasters. B To introduce Ruiz’s unusual childhood experience. C. To offer a successful example of weather forecast. D. To show Ruiz’s understanding of the work of a meteorologist. 25. What is a challenge of predicting the weather according to the text? A. Climate change. B. People’s injury. C. Poor technology. D. Lack of experience. 26. Which word can best describe Ruiz according to the last paragraph? A. Creative. B. Clever. C. Hard-working. D. World-famous. 27. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear? A. Sports. B. People. C. Education. D. Health. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要讲述了Ashley Ruiz的职业生涯和个人经历，介绍了她作为气象预报员的工作内容、面临的挑战、对天气变化的看法，以及她如何克服数学难题成为首位女性首席气象预报员的经历。 24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In 2020, a tornado hit Ruiz’s hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee—and, even closer to home, her house. So she said she knew what a lifesaving job this could be.(2020年，一场龙卷风袭击了Ruiz位于田纳西州查塔努加的家乡——甚至离她家更近的地方。所以她说她知道这是一份救命的工作。)”可知，文章提到Ruiz家乡发生的灾难是为了展示她对气象预报员工作的理解。她亲身体验了龙卷风对家乡的破坏，因此她深刻理解这份工作的重要性和救命的性质。这一经历使她更加明白作为气象预报员的责任和使命。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns. She said, “We are absolutely seeing changes in weather, with more intense and more frequent storms, which relate to climate change.” Weather is changing everywhere, as the planet warms. There are more frequent droughts, stronger storms, and increasing temperature changes. This makes predicting the weather difficult.( Ruiz谈到了新的和变化中的天气模式。她说：“我们绝对看到了天气的变化，风暴更加剧烈和频繁，这与气候变化有关。”随着地球变暖，天气到处都在变化。干旱更频繁，风暴更猛烈，气温变化更大。这使得预测天气变得困难。)”可知，气候变化使得天气变得更加难以预测，因此是预测天气的一个挑战。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Ruiz always knew she was interested in weather and how it affected the world. But her path to a career in meteorology wasn’t easy. She said, “I struggled so hard with math and wanted to give up. But I kept pushing and working hard, and now I’m the first woman chief meteorologist in the Baton Rouge TV market. I’m proud of that.”(Ruiz一直知道自己对天气及其对世界的影响感兴趣。但她成为气象学家的道路并不容易。她说：“我在数学上挣扎得很厉害，几乎想放弃了。但我一直在坚持和努力，现在我是巴吞鲁日电视市场的第一位女性首席气象预报员。我为此感到骄傲。”)”可知，Ruiz在数学上挣扎得很厉害，但她一直坚持不懈地努力工作，最终成为了巴吞鲁日电视市场的首位女性首席气象预报员。这显示了她是一个勤奋努力的人。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When you think about who’s responsible for a city’s safety, what people come to mind? Police officers, firefighters or emergency response teams? Would you put your local meteorologist (气象预报员) in this group? That’s the career Ashley Ruiz chose, and she’s now the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ruiz predicts the weather for her community.(当你想到谁负责城市的安全时，你会想到哪些人？警察、消防员还是应急响应团队？你会把当地的气象预报员归入这个群体吗？这就是Ashley Ruiz选择的职业，现在她是路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日的第一位女性首席气象预报员。Ruiz为她的社区预测天气。)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了Ashley Ruiz作为气象预报员的职业生涯和个人经历，包括她如何克服困难成为首位女性首席气象预报员，以及她对天气和气候变化的看法。这种关于人物成长和成就的文章更适合出现在报纸的“People”（人物）栏目中。故选B。 C Libraries are romantic places. The romance is that of reading, and the wealth of human imagining and learning that is contained in them. Access to the knowledge and literary art poetry, fiction, drama in a library is precious and particularly valuable to young minds and people of any age with an interest in education. It would be hard to find anyone who actively disapproves of libraries. But when it comes to reality, Britain’s libraries are on less solid ground. The number of books borrowed in the year ending in March, 2021 was 72.9m, down 56% on the previous year. Physical visits also collapsed, from 214.6m to 59.7m. Of course, this is the behaviour that one would expect during a pandemic. Many libraries were closed during this period, while people were discouraged from unnecessary mixing. Book sales climbed to their highest in a decade in 2021, which suggests that some former users of libraries may have bought books instead. Private libraries at home, whether large collections or single bookshelves, appear to be developing well. But the hope must be that visits and loans at public libraries will soon return to their former level too. Like any other service, libraries need users. And while booksellers might in one sense be regarded as competitors, in fact the vast majority of those involved in the trade, from publishers to poets, are library lovers. This has something to do with the romantic idea of the reader as explorer, with every book a door to a new store of feeling or understanding. But it also involves the recognition that if books are to form part of our life, there must be space in public for them. Books can be treasured possessions, but there is also something special about a copy that arrives in your hands having passed through those of others and that will go on being passed between strangers who share your curiosity. 28. What has happened to British libraries? A. They have been in a bad state. B. They have become romantic places. C. They have got great appeal for artists. D. They have suffered great loss of users. 29. What has led to the home library boom in Britain? A. People avoid close contact in public. B. Many libraries have been pulled down. C. People have access to affordable books. D. More people disapprove of public libraries. 30. What does the author try to convey in the last paragraph? A. Books are personal belongings. B. Libraries are a paradise for adventurers. C. Books should be attached importance to. D. Libraries contribute to human connection. 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. Libraries will fade out of stage. B. Libraries will hold a promising future. C. Booksellers benefit from libraries’ collapse. D. The pandemic has boosted British book sales. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是尽管现阶段图书馆暂时遇到了一些问题，但是鉴于图书馆的重要性，它的前景依然光明。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The number of books borrowed in the year ending in March, 2021 was 72.9 m, down 56% on the previous year. Physical visits also collapsed, from 214.6 m to 59.7m.(在截至2021年3月的这一年里，图书借阅量为7290万册，较上一年下降了56%。实地到访量也大幅下滑，从2.146亿人次降至5970万人次。)”可知，英国图书馆的用户数量明显减少了。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Many libraries were closed during this period, while people were discouraged from unnecessary mixing. Book sales climbed to their highest in a decade in 2021, which suggests that some former users of libraries may have bought books instead.(在此期间，许多图书馆都处于关闭状态，同时人们也被劝阻避免不必要的聚集。2021年，图书销量攀升至十年来的最高水平，这表明一些原本的图书馆用户可能转而购买了书籍。)”及第四段“Private libraries at home, whether large collections or single bookshelves, appear to be developing well.(私人家庭图书馆，无论藏书规模大小，哪怕是只有一个书架，似乎都在蓬勃发展。)”可知，人们不被鼓励进行不必要的密切接触，促使了家庭图书馆的繁荣发展。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Books can be treasured possessions, but there is also something special about a copy that arrives in your hands having passed through those of others and that will go on being passed between strangers who share your curiosity.(书籍可以成为人们珍视的财产，但一本经他人之手传递到你手中、且将在与你怀有同样好奇心的人之间继续传递的书籍，也有着别样的特别之处。)”可推知，作者在最后一段想要告诉读者图书馆可以促进人们之间的联系。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“But when it comes to reality, Britain’s libraries are on less solid ground. The number of books borrowed in the year ending in March, 2021 was 72.9m, down 56% on the previous year. Physical visits also collapsed, from 214.6m to 59.7m.(但现实情况是，英国的图书馆地位不再稳固。在截至2021年3月的这一年里，图书借阅量为7290万册，较上一年下降了56%。实地到访量也大幅下滑，从2.146亿人次降至5970万人次。)”和最后一段“But it also involves the recognition that if books are to form part of our life, there must be space in public for them. Books can be treasured possessions, but there is also something special about a copy that arrives in your hands having passed through those of others and that will go on being passed between strangers who share your curiosity.(但它也涉及到这样一种认识，即如果书籍要成为我们生活的一部分，公共领域就必须为它们留出一席之地。书籍可以成为人们珍视的财产，但一本经他人之手传递到你手中、且将在与你怀有同样好奇心的人之间继续传递的书籍，也有着别样的特别之处。)”可知，文章讲的是尽管现阶段图书馆暂时遇到了一些问题，但是鉴于图书馆的重要性，它的前景依然光明，因此本文主旨是B选项“Libraries will hold a promising future.(图书馆将拥有一个充满希望的未来。)”。故选B。 D I was born with a disability (残疾). When I started to go to school, my classmates were always teasing about it. I told them I’d fallen as a baby and cut my lips on a piece of glass. Somehow it seemed more acceptable to have suffered an accident than to have been born different. By seven, I was sure no one outside my own family could ever love me or even like me. And then I entered the second grade, and Mrs. Leonard’s class. She was round, pretty and sweet, with shining brown hair and warm, smiling dark eyes. Everyone loved her. But no one came to love her more than I did. The time came for the annual hearing tests given at our school. I was hardly able to hear anything out of one ear, and wasn’t about to show yet another problem that would single me out as different. So I cheated. During the hearing tests, each child would go to the door of the classroom, turn sideways, close one ear with a finger, and the teacher would whisper something from her desk, which the child would repeat. Then the same thing was done for the other ear. I had discovered in kindergarten that nobody checked to see if the untested ear was being fully covered, so I only pretended to block mine. My turn came. I knew from previous years that the teacher whispered things like “The sky is blue.” or “Do you have new shoes?” I turned my bad ear to her, covering the other with my finger, and gently backed my finger out enough to be able to hear. I waited, and then came the seven words that changed my life forever: “I wish you were my little girl.” 32. What does the underlined phrase “teasing about” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Looking into. B. Caring about. C. Arguing over. D. Laughing at. 33. Why did the author worry about the hearing test? A. She didn’t want to make her disability public. B. She couldn’t understand the teacher’s words. C. She was afraid to make mistakes in the test. D. She didn’t want to disappoint Mrs. Leonard. 34. What can we know about what Mrs. Leonard said? A. It made the girl very discouraged. B. It proved the girl cheated in the test. C. It made a huge difference to the girl. D. It embarrassed the girl immediately. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. A Hearing Test Upsetting a Girl B. Seven Words Changing a Girl’s Life C. A Strict Primary School Teacher D. Clever Ways to Pass a Hearing Test 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。天生残疾的我受尽了嘲笑和白眼，这让我觉得家人之外没有人会爱我甚至喜欢我，但是老师在一次偶然的机会说的一句话却改变了我的一生。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“I was born with a disability (残疾).(我生来就有残疾。)”可知我天生残疾，所以可以推测我上学时会受到别人的嘲笑。故此处划线短语的意思是“嘲笑”。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I was hardly able to hear anything out of one ear, and wasn’t about to show yet another problem that would single me out as different.(我的一只耳朵几乎听不见什么声音，我也不会再表现出另一个让我与众不同的问题。)”可知，作者担心听力测试的原因是，作者的一只耳朵有问题，但是她不想让别人再看出来她的不同。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I waited, and then came the seven words that changed my life forever: “I wish you were my little girl.”(我等待着，然后出现了那永远改变了我生活的七个字：“我希望你是我的小女孩”)”可知，Mrs. Leonard是在鼓励作者，由此可推知她的话对作者产生了巨大的影响。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“By seven, I was sure no one outside my own family could ever love me or even like me.(到7岁时，我确信除了我自己的家庭，没有人会爱我，甚至喜欢我。)”以及第二段“And then I entered the second grade, and Mrs. Leonard’s class. She was round, pretty and sweet, with shining brown hair and warm, smiling dark eyes. Everyone loved her. But no one came to love her more than I did.(然后我上了二年级，Mrs. Leonard的班级。她身材圆润，漂亮，可爱，有着闪亮的棕色头发和温暖而微笑的黑眼睛。每个人都爱她。但没有人比我更爱她了。)”及最后一段“I waited, and then came the seven words that changed my life forever: “I wish you were my little girl.”(我等待着，然后出现了那永远改变了我生活的七个字：“我真希望你是我的小女孩。)”可知整篇文章主要讲的是原本作者的残疾让作者在家人之外感受不到温暖，但是听力测试中老师的七个字却让作者的生活有了改变，由此可知，B项“Seven Words Changing a Girl’s Life(改变一个女孩一生的七个字)”最适合做文章标题。故选B项。 第二节（共 5 小题, 每小题 2. 5 分, 共 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。 With one and half years of senior school to go, you’re probably experiencing a mix of emotions: excitement about what the future holds, and maybe anxiety about how to handle the coming exams. Don’t worry! Here are a few things that will help you get through the rest of your senior school. ____36____ This means setting up a system that works for you to keep track of important dates, assignments, and deadlines. This can be as simple as using a planner. In this way, you can stay on top of your work and avoid any last- minute hurry. Manage your time wisely. Learn to balance your academic tasks with extracurricular and social activities. ____37____ For example, you might dedicate Mondays to Thursdays to homework, Fridays to extracurricular activities, and Saturdays to sports and hanging out with friends. Whatever system you choose, just ensure it works for you and helps you stay on track. Keep your grades up. Letting your grades slip during the senior year can be easy. To avoid this, create a study schedule that allows you to focus on one subject at a time. Meanwhile, do ask for help from your teachers and parents if you’re struggling with a particular concept. ____38____ Set goals, not time limits. Most people set time limits on their goals, such as “I’ll finish reviewing this book by Friday!” or something like that. ____39____ So just focus on the goal, not the timeframe. For example, rather than saying you’ll finish reviewing one book by Friday, focus on what you need to do to make that happen. Embrace your passions and start exploring potential careers. Think about what subjects you enjoy most and what courses you’re passionate about. From there, research potential careers that are in line with your interests. ____40____ The more you know about a particular career, the better equipped you’ll be to decide your future. A. Give back. B. Get organized. C. Step outside your comfort zone and try new things. D. They are there to support you and want you to succeed. E. It’s a good idea to set specific days or hours for each task. F. And reach out to people in those fields for advice and guidance. G. Putting pressure on yourself to meet these deadlines can be stressful. 【答案】36. B 37. E 38. D 39. G 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了通过五个方面帮助高二的学生度过高中的剩余时光。 【36题详解】 根据后文“This means setting up a system that works for you to keep track of important dates, assignments, and deadlines. This can be as simple as using a planner. In this way, you can stay on top of your work and avoid any last- minute hurry.(这意味着你要建立一个系统来记录重要的日期、任务和截止日期。这就像使用计划表一样简单。这样，你就能掌握你的工作，避免最后一分钟的匆忙)”可知，本段的主旨是强调要有条理，有目标，故B选项“有条理”符号语境。故选B。 【37题详解】 根据后文“For example, you might dedicate Mondays to Thursdays to homework, Fridays to extracurricular activities, and Saturdays to sports and hanging out with friends.(例如，你可以在周一到周四做作业，周五做课外活动，周六做运动和和朋友出去玩)”可知，后文的例子表明每天的活动都要有具体的安排，平衡好学习和课外、社交生活，明智的管理时间。E选项“为每项任务设定具体的日期或时间是个好主意”符合语境。故选E。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Meanwhile, do ask for help from your teachers and parents if you’re struggling with a particular concept.(同时，如果你在某个概念上有困难，一定要向老师和父母寻求帮助)”可知，本句承接上文，说明老师和父母的作用。D选项中的they指的是your teachers and parents，他们一直在那儿支持你并希望你成功。D选项“他们会支持你，希望你成功”符合语境。故选D。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Set goals, not time limits. Most people set time limits on their goals, such as “I’ll finish reviewing this book by Friday!” or something like that.(设定目标，而不是时间限制。大多数人都为自己的目标设定了时间限制，比如“我要在周五之前完成这本书的复习！”诸如此类的话)”以及后文“So just focus on the goal, not the timeframe.(所以只关注目标，而不是时间框架)”可知，本段主旨为段落首句，要设定目标而不是设定时间界限。空格与其后一句构成因果关系，强调给自己施加压力赶上截止日期是有压力的。G选项“在截止日期前给自己施加压力是有压力的”符合语境。故选G。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Embrace your passions and start exploring potential careers. Think about what subjects you enjoy most and what courses you’re passionate about. From there, research potential careers that are in line with your interests.(拥抱你的激情，开始探索潜在的职业。想想你最喜欢的科目和你最热衷的课程。在此基础上，研究符合你兴趣的潜在职业)”以及后文“The more you know about a particular career, the better equipped you’ll be to decide your future.(你对某一职业了解得越多，你就越有能力决定自己的未来)”可知，本段主旨为段落首句，拥抱你的激情，开始探索潜在的职业，后文提到了了解某一职业，可知本句与了解职业领域有关，F选项中those fields指的是空格前的potential careers。F选项“向这些领域的人寻求建议和指导”符合语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Brian Peters had one thing to do before leaving his job as a police officer in Brooklyn.

His job kept him away from family for long hours. It was the topic of many quarrels he had gotten into with his wife, who understood why he was away so often but could not resist the urge to cry out for her husband’s physical absence. To make up for not always being there for his daughter, Leslie, Henry was determined to make it to her 16th birthday party on time. On the day of her birthday, Henry conveyed as many passengers as he could as usual. When he finally finished the last order to a distant town outside the city, Henry rushed back to his city for the small party. However, he got caught up in a heavy snowstorm that restricted mobility on his way back. Stubbornly, he decided he would press on anyway and continued driving even though he had to go at a snail’s (蜗牛的) pace. It was 6: 00 pm and Leslie’s party started at 6: 30 pm. He complained about the weather as he fastened his eyes on the slippery road. As time passed, he got closer to the city. Suddenly, he spotted a person sitting beside the road. He stopped his car to check on it, and found it was an elderly woman who was unable to speak but almost freezing. Her bedroom clothes told him she must be from the town nearby he just drove past. Henry decided to take the woman to her town, but he remembered that his wife would be upset with him if he missed his daughter’s birthday party. He called his wife to explain things. As he predicted, she said nothing, ending up the call. That made him uneasy and almost turn back to his car. But he knew that he could not leave the woman helpless. “I’d want someone to care for my wife or daughter if they ended up in such a tough situation,” he said to himself. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Without any hesitation, Henry was determined to help the stranger. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Upon his arrival, it was late at night and Henry became more uneasy. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Without any hesitation, Henry was determined to help the stranger. He lifted the woman with all his might and settled her in the back seat of his car. Noticing she was shivering from the cold, Henry turned up his car heater to warm the freezing woman. Eventually, he brought the woman to a hospital in the town. Exactly as he had suspected, the nurses immediately recognized the woman. They revealed that the woman had Alzheimer’s disease, which led her to have trouble in communicating and always fail to find her way home. Having hearing that, Henry knew he really did the right thing. After that, Henry made his way home immediately. Upon his arrival, it was late at night and Henry became more uneasy. He parked the car in the driveway and entered his house. There was no sign that there had been any celebration, as everything for the birthday party was well organized. Seeing her father return safe and sound, Leslie ran into his arms happily. He apologized to her that he couldn’t make it to her party on time. Little did Leslie care about that.

The Booderee National Park It offers a protected habitat (栖息地) for native wildlife against high cliffs and white beaches. While summer is good for visiting due to the excellent weather, a special event takes place in June and July when whales come back with their babies. Educational tours are fit for school groups to get close to nature. There are a range of activities such as camping, diving and nature walks. The Norfolk Island National Park The history of the Park is eye-catching, so you might want to check out how Captain James Cook got here and why. You can picnic and have a nice barbecue around the highest point on the island, Mount Bates. Another tourist attraction is Phillip Island, six kilometers away from Norfolk, home to many seabirds. The Uluru National Park If you’re into learning more about Aboriginals (土著居民) and their influence on the world, you mustn’t miss it, where Tjukurpa stories come from about native songs and dances. The rocks here are extremely loved because they seem to change color during sunrise and sunset. So the spot is also great for walking, considering the knowledge and stories on the rocks’ shapes and purpose for humans. The Kakadu National Park It has the longest historical records of Aboriginal people living there, which have been carved in the rock art made by Indigenous civilizations over the years. The Park has remarkable rivers and floodplains that go through the rich ecosystem. With more than 280 species of birds, 117 reptile species and 74 mammals, the park is a joy to the eye of the traveler. 21. What makes the Booderee National Park special? A. Whales’ return. B. Nature walks. C. Wildlife habitat. D. Educational tours. 22. Where can you learn about Captain James Cook? A. The Uluru National Park. B. The Kakadu National Park. C. The Booderee National Park. D. The Norfolk Island National Park. 23. What do the Uluru National Park and the Kakadu National Park have in common? A. Rock colors. B. Rock shapes. C. Native culture. D. Rich wildlife. B When you think about who’s responsible for a city’s safety, what people come to mind? Police officers, firefighters or emergency response teams? Would you put your local meteorologist (气象预报员) in this group? That’s the career Ashley Ruiz chose, and she’s now the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ruiz predicts the weather for her community. In 2020, a tornado hit Ruiz’s hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee — and, even closer to home, her house. So she said she knew what a lifesaving job this could be. However, her job isn’t without difficulties. “Hearing people have been injured, like in a big hurricane, is really hard,” she said. “We try our best to predict the weather as best as we can, and we are getting better. But it can always change.” Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns. She said, “We are absolutely seeing changes in weather, with more intense and more frequent storms, which relate to climate change.” Weather is changing everywhere, as the planet warms. There are more frequent droughts, stronger storms, and increasing temperature changes. This makes predicting the weather difficult. Ruiz always knew she was interested in weather and how it affected the world. But her path to a career in meteorology wasn’t easy. She said, “I struggled so hard with math and wanted to give up. But I kept pushing and working hard, and now I’m the first woman chief meteorologist in the Baton Rouge TV market. I’m proud of that.” She wants kids to know they should never give up on their education or their dreams. 24. Why was the disaster in Ruiz’s hometown mentioned in the text? A. To call on people to prepare for disasters. B. To introduce Ruiz’s unusual childhood experience. C. To offer a successful example of weather forecast. D. To show Ruiz’s understanding of the work of a meteorologist. 25. What is a challenge of predicting the weather according to the text? A. Climate change. B. People’s injury. C. Poor technology. D. Lack of experience. 26. Which word can best describe Ruiz according to the last paragraph? A. Creative. B. Clever. C. Hard-working. D. World-famous. 27. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear? A. Sports. B. People. C. Education. D. Health. C Libraries are romantic places. The romance is that of reading, and the wealth of human imagining and learning that is contained in them. Access to the knowledge and literary art poetry, fiction, drama in a library is precious and particularly valuable to young minds and people of any age with an interest in education. It would be hard to find anyone who actively disapproves of libraries. But when it comes to reality, Britain’s libraries are on less solid ground. The number of books borrowed in the year ending in March, 2021 was 72.9m, down 56% on the previous year. Physical visits also collapsed, from 214.6m to 59.7m. Of course, this is the behaviour that one would expect during a pandemic. Many libraries were closed during this period, while people were discouraged from unnecessary mixing. Book sales climbed to their highest in a decade in 2021, which suggests that some former users of libraries may have bought books instead. Private libraries at home, whether large collections or single bookshelves, appear to be developing well. But the hope must be that visits and loans at public libraries will soon return to their former level too. Like any other service, libraries need users. And while booksellers might in one sense be regarded as competitors, in fact the vast majority of those involved in the trade, from publishers to poets, are library lovers. This has something to do with the romantic idea of the reader as explorer, with every book a door to a new store of feeling or understanding. But it also involves the recognition that if books are to form part of our life, there must be space in public for them. Books can be treasured possessions, but there is also something special about a copy that arrives in your hands having passed through those of others and that will go on being passed between strangers who share your curiosity. 28. What has happened to British libraries? A. They have been in a bad state. B. They have become romantic places. C. They have got great appeal for artists. D. They have suffered great loss of users. 29. What has led to the home library boom in Britain? A. People avoid close contact in public. B. Many libraries have been pulled down. C. People have access to affordable books. D. More people disapprove of public libraries. 30. What does the author try to convey in the last paragraph? A. Books are personal belongings. B. Libraries are a paradise for adventurers. C. Books should be attached importance to. D. Libraries contribute to human connection. 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. Libraries will fade out of stage. B. Libraries will hold a promising future. C. Booksellers benefit from libraries’ collapse. D. The pandemic has boosted British book sales. D I was born with a disability (残疾). When I started to go to school, my classmates were always teasing about it. I told them I’d fallen as a baby and cut my lips on a piece of glass. Somehow it seemed more acceptable to have suffered an accident than to have been born different. By seven, I was sure no one outside my own family could ever love me or even like me. And then I entered the second grade, and Mrs. Leonard’s class. She was round, pretty and sweet, with shining brown hair and warm, smiling dark eyes. Everyone loved her. But no one came to love her more than I did. The time came for the annual hearing tests given at our school. I was hardly able to hear anything out of one ear, and wasn’t about to show yet another problem that would single me out as different. So I cheated. During the hearing tests, each child would go to the door of the classroom, turn sideways, close one ear with a finger, and the teacher would whisper something from her desk, which the child would repeat. Then the same thing was done for the other ear. I had discovered in kindergarten that nobody checked to see if the untested ear was being fully covered, so I only pretended to block mine. My turn came. I knew from previous years that the teacher whispered things like “The sky is blue.” or “Do you have new shoes?” I turned my bad ear to her, covering the other with my finger, and gently backed my finger out enough to be able to hear. I waited, and then came the seven words that changed my life forever: “I wish you were my little girl.” 32. What does the underlined phrase “teasing about” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Looking into. B. Caring about. C. Arguing over. D. Laughing at. 33. Why did the author worry about the hearing test? A. She didn’t want to make her disability public. B. She couldn’t understand the teacher’s words. C. She was afraid to make mistakes in the test. D. She didn’t want to disappoint Mrs. Leonard. 34 What can we know about what Mrs. Leonard said? A. It made the girl very discouraged. B. It proved the girl cheated in the test. C. It made a huge difference to the girl. D. It embarrassed the girl immediately. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. A Hearing Test Upsetting a Girl B. Seven Words Changing a Girl’s Life C. A Strict Primary School Teacher D. Clever Ways to Pass a Hearing Test 第二节（共 5 小题, 每小题 2. 5 分, 共 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。 With one and half years of senior school to go, you’re probably experiencing a mix of emotions: excitement about what the future holds, and maybe anxiety about how to handle the coming exams.

His job kept him away from family for long hours. It was the topic of many quarrels he had gotten into with his wife, who understood why he was away so often but could not resist the urge to cry out for her husband’s physical absence. To make up for not always being there for his daughter, Leslie, Henry was determined to make it to her 16th birthday party on time. On the day of her birthday, Henry conveyed as many passengers as he could as usual. When he finally finished the last order to a distant town outside the city, Henry rushed back to his city for the small party. However, he got caught up in a heavy snowstorm that restricted mobility on his way back. Stubbornly, he decided he would press on anyway and continued driving even though he had to go at a snail’s (蜗牛的) pace. It was 6: 00 pm and Leslie’s party started at 6: 30 pm. He complained about the weather as he fastened his eyes on the slippery road. As time passed, he got closer to the city. Suddenly, he spotted a person sitting beside the road. He stopped his car to check on it, and found it was an elderly woman who was unable to speak but almost freezing. Her bedroom clothes told him she must be from the town nearby he just drove past. Henry decided to take the woman to her town, but he remembered that his wife would be upset with him if he missed his daughter’s birthday party. He called his wife to explain things. As he predicted, she said nothing, ending up the call. That made him uneasy and almost turn back to his car. But he knew that he could not leave the woman helpless. “I’d want someone to care for my wife or daughter if they ended up in such a tough situation,” he said to himself. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Without any hesitation, Henry was determined to help the stranger. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Upon his arrival, it was late at night and Henry became more uneasy. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
