One Saturday in December,Annacarin Elf,the head of operations at Gothenburg City Library,just
happened to walk by her workplace.Noticing that the door was open,she entered the library,and was
astonished to see the heartwarming scene that people were using it like on a regular day.It was scheduled
to be closed.But the people in the library behaved as usual.Many were reading newspapers,some
families were in the children's section and others were searching for books on the computer.
It seemed that Elf's colleagues had simply forgotten to lock the door,and because this popular
library is usually open on Saturdays,visitors just assumed they could walk in.After checking with her
staff team,Elf announced to the people present that the library was about to close.Then she expressed her
regret for what had been done wrong and caused them a problem.It later tumns out that 446 locals visited
the city library,borrowing a total of 246 books during the day.What's remarkable is that people checked
out their books through the library's electronic self-service system,and that to date,all the books have
been returned!Many Swedes have reacted positively to this uplifting demonstration of local respect for the
library,a center that can be seen as a sign of the community,and what the locals did has strengthened
their sense of belonging in their community.
Elf says,"Nothing was destroyed.It's amazing that Gothenburgers entered an empty library and
treated it so lovingly."The city leader has even suggested that this unusual Saturday serve as an
accidental experiment to analyse the possibility of operating a totally automated library without staff.
24.Why did Elf feel surprised after entering the library?
A.The library staff were in it.
B.People kept reading on holidays.
C.People came in without permission.
D.It was in use though supposed to be closed.
25.What did Elf do that Saturday?
A.She left the library open.
B.She asked the staff back.
C.She apologized to the visitors.
D.She read books in the library.
26.What do many Swedes think of the behavior of Gothenburg locals?
A.It displays community spirit.
B.It gives the library much uplift.
C.It is a positive reaction to society.
D.It strengthens trust between people.
27.What does the author want to convey through the story?
A.People tend to show care for others.
B.Life is always full of the unexpected.
C.Libraries must be automated in the future.
D.A library can bring out the best in people.

It's a hot afteroon,and a group of boys in Nigeria,India,Vietnam or other places,have gone out
to their local landfills to work.Their job?Breaking open old phones and computers to remove precious
metals so that they can be sold for cash.But where did these mountains of electronic waste come from,
and what can be done?
Each year,millions of electrical and electronic devices are thrown away because they are broken or
宣城市高二英语试卷第4页(共10页)
simply unwanted.These thrown items,called electronic waste or e-waste,contribute to the fastest-
growing solid waste in the world.Common e-waste items include computers,mobile phones and large
household appliances,as well as mcdical cquipment.Due to certain materials in these devices,they can
become a threat to the environment and to human health if not handled properly.
Many materials,such as lead ()used in electronics are on the World Health Organization's
(WHO)list of 10 chemicals of public concem.When e-waste is thrown into landfills,these poisonous
materials can pollute the soil and water,damaging the environment.On the other hand,electronics often
contain valuable yet heavy metals like gold and silver,all of which are difficult and risky to take out by
hand due to cuts on the hands.But other processing techniques like melting or using acid baths pollute the
air and water.Exposure to these materials can cause breathing problems,cancer and brain diseases.
The problem of e-waste is severe and growing,but here are three ways that can help turn the
tide.First,recycling allows certain working parts in old devices to be reborn.Next,instead of replacing
broken devices,see if you can extend their life by repairing them.Finally,if you have a working device
that you're no longer using,consider donating it to a school or charity.Together,we can make a difference.
28.Why does the author mention the group of boys?
A.To offer detailed information.
B.'To raise a relevant question.
C.To introduce their job.
D.To describe a social phenomenon.
29.What can we leam about e-waste from paragraph 2?
A.It comes from various possible sources.
B.It's mainly unwanted files in the computer.
C.It's the fastest-growing garbage worldwide
D.It doesn't threaten the Earth but human health.
30.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The complex formation of e-waste.
B.The correct treatment of e-waste.
C.The surprising value of e-waste.
D.The potential danger of e-waste.
31.What does the underlined phrase"tu the tide"in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Satisfy the demand.
B.Improve the quality.
C.Solve the problem.
D.Update the technology.

The beginning of the 20th century saw more than 100,000 tigers living in the wild,a figure that
experienced a huge reduction of about 97%due to factors like illegal hunting and trading,habitat loss,
shortage of food,human-tiger conflict and lack of will to address these factors.
Protecting and improving tiger habitats can lead to the protection of thousands of other species,as
well as important ecosystem services that benefit nations and the people who live in and close to these
habitats.Forests in tiger landscapes store almost 3.5 times more carbon than other forests and offer
protection against floods and other natural disasters.They also attract ecotourism and support agriculture
宣城市高二英语试卷第5页(共10页)
by providing fresh water,safeguarding soil and regulating (local weather.
In 2010,the goverments of 13 tiger range countries finally committed to doubling the number of
tigers in the wild and have made great efforts since.In 2022,India reported an increase of 619 tigers
since 2018,making it the second nation-after Nepal-to double its wild tiger population compared to
the 2010 baseline.On July 29,2023,the world celebrated International Tiger Day with good news from
Bhutan.Its latest tiger population survey reported 131 more tigers living in the wild,a 27%increase from
its first systematic survey in 2015.
Bhutan's achievement is reason to celebrate.But people in Bhutan and other tiger range countries
may not necessarily be enthusiastic about the growth in tiger populations.After all,there are challenges
ahead,such as the possibility of more human-tiger conflicts and reduced willingness to live alongside
large predators(掠食动物).
Preventing conflict from happening in the first place is an essential first step.Governments and
conservation organizations can invest in early warning systems,structures for protection against predators
and other measures to prevent human-tiger conflicts.When conflicts do occur,measures to reduce their
impacts,like insurance projects,are important.Finally,the most important element of human-tiger
coexistence(共存)is an equitable(公正的)and inclusive approach to conservation..Local communities
should have a voice in developing and carrying out conservation strategies.
32.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The benefit of ecotourism.
B.The value of protecting tiger habitats.
C.The necessity of planting forests.
D.The influence of tigers on agriculture.
33.How is paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A.By giving examples.
B.By showing differences.
C.By presenting problems.
D.By providing research results.
34.What may cause people's lack of enthusiasm towards increasing tiger populations?
A.The increased illegal hunting.
B.The investment required.
C.The previous failures.
D.The potential risks.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.Protecting Tiger Habitats and Human Habitats
B.Strategies for Preventing Human-Tiger Conflicts
C.Challenges and Opportunities in Human-Tiger Coexistence
D.The Role of Local Communities in Tiger Conservation Efforts

I hated writing growing up.But I couldn't avoid it:leaming English was a must in high school.For
hours,I stared at blank pages,trying to tum my disorganized thoughts into fluent sentences.I tried my
best but my teachers would return my papers littered with red.I was upset to no end.36.And that
宣城市高二英语试卷第6页(共10页)
was OK.I didn't have to do well in everything.
37.I liked it because objective truth could be found if I searched properly.In college,I joined
a research lab to enhance conductor efficiency,and aftcr a year of hard work,we developed a design that
halved energy losses.However,the joy was short-lived as I had to write a research paper about our
findings.
I knew that if I wanted to become an academic,I would need to spend time writing papers.But with
my awful track record with writing,I was scared of failing.In a panic,I asked a graduate student in my
lab for help.We defined a goal for the paper,and I carefully wrote an outline.But when I asked him for
feedback,I soon found the paper covered in red marks.38.
Before I could give up in defeat,though,the graduate student explained those red marks didn't
mean I was a bad writer.39.It requires revising your work,often several times.I kept improving the
outline of my paper,eventually turning it into sentences and paragraphs.My initial draft wasn't perfect.I
had buried a few key takeaways,and the introduction was missing important context.But with help,I
finally made it.
From then on,writing became one of my favorite parts of research.40,but I changed my
view.All it took was some trial and error.
A“Not again,”I screamed inside
B.I should view it in a positive way
C.Maybe I wasn't good at writing
D.Writing isn't a one-and-done thing
E.I soon realized writing was my strength
F.I switched to the world of math and science
G.I had never imagined it in my wildest dreams

Rich Fortels got off to a pretty good start at the Greater Middlesex Conference high school swimming

won the 100 backstroke in 51.30 seconds,setting a 41.
But there was one problem in the second race:Because Fortels's school,Monroe High,doesn't
have a swimming team,so Fortels wore a 42 bearing the name of his club team.Someone pointed out

recognized."The two competitors then shook hands and exchanged phone numbers,51 to stay in
touch.They expected that they both can 52 in future games.
Conference President Carl Buffalino called Spark's act of sportsmanship "absolutely 53"!
"Winning is great,but as educators,one of the main 54 that we are trying to teach our student-

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a regular day at the smartphone store.My job was to help customers all,whether it was
something as simple as selling a phone or as tricky as fixing a phone that wouldn't turn on.People came
in stressed about their phones all the time,but I knew how to handle it.And I liked the work.There was
something satisfying about solving problems and sending people on their way with their devices working as
they should.
Then Joe appeared.He looked to be in his late 40s.His hair was slightly graying,with strands(-
falling across his forehead as if he'd been running his hands through it.His shirt was untucked(
塞好的),and his tie was loose and hanging at an odd angle around his neck.
He was practically running toward the counter,his face turing red,eyes wide with panic.He
grasped his phone like it was a lifeline,his fingers white from the grip()."You need to give me a
new phone!"Joe almost shouted,waving his phone in the air like it was about to explode."This one you
sold me a few days ago is broken!My phone's camera is totally messed up,and Ineed a perfect photo
right now!"

I tried to stay calm.Something about Joe's urgency made me pay closer attention."Let's take a look
at what's going on,"I said,signalling him to hand me the phone.Then he thrust the phone into my
hands,nearly dropping it in a hury."Look at this!Every picture is ruined!"His voice was sharp,and
he sounded out of breath.
I opened the photo gallery().The pictures looked like something out of a funhouse mirror.
“Hmm,”Isaid,trying to keep my voice calm.“It looks like there's a filter(滤镜)tumed on,sit."
Joe's anger grew visibly,his face covered with disbelief."No,there wasn't!I didn't mess with
anything!My photos were fine when I took them.They have to be fixed-now!",he shouted.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I calmly explained to Joe that it was easy to fix.
As he prepared to leave,Joe stopped,and then turned back.
