B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个采摘农场的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Shlagel Farms部分“Less than 20 miles from DC, Shlagel Farms is one of the most popular pick-your-own (PYO) strawberry places in the area, their season beginning in early June. While there, you can also pick up something to cook for dinner — Shlagel also offers farm-raised beef, pork, and chicken! (距离华盛顿不到20英里的Shlagel农场是该地区最受欢迎的草莓采摘地点之一，采摘季节从6月初开始。在那里，你还可以买一些东西做晚餐——Shlagel还提供农场饲养的牛肉、猪肉和鸡肉!)”和Wegmeyer Farms部分“With three locations in Northern Virginia, Wegmeyer offers varying strawberry picking experiences as the settings differ at each. The PYO season will begin at all three locations in May. Check the website for updates, hours, and directions. Picking reservations can be made through the website the night before.(韦格梅尔在弗吉尼亚州北部有三家草莓采摘店，每个店的环境都不一样，提供不同的草莓采摘体验。PYO季将于5月在这三个地点开始。查看网站上的更新、时间和路线。预订可以在前一天晚上通过网站进行)”可知，Shlagel农场和Wegmeyer农场的不同之处在于，Shlagel农场有动物产品出售。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mackintosh Fruit Farm部分“Plan on lunch while you’re there — along with fruits and vegetables, the farm also offers a variety of menu items prepared fresh every day from their own produce.(当你在那里的时候，计划午餐——除了水果和蔬菜，农场还提供每天用自己的农产品新鲜准备的各种菜单项目)”可知，Mackintosh果园提供午餐。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Larriland Farm部分“Apple picking usually begins in late August. Summer hours are Tuesday 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Wednesday to Friday 9 a.m.-6 p.m., Saturday & Sunday 9 a.m.-8 p.m.(摘苹果通常在8月下旬开始。夏季营业时间为周二上午9点至下午5点，周三至周五上午9点至下午6点，周六和周日上午9点至晚上8点)”可知，星期二上午9点至下午5点可以摘苹果。故选B项。 B Sargassum, the invasive, sewage-scented seaweed piling up on beaches across the Caribbean, isn’t something most people look upon kindly. But for Omar Vazquez, his first meeting was “love at first sight”. “Everyone said, ‘It smells horrible!’ and I remember thinking, ‘There’s something more here,’” says Mr. Vazquez, the founder of Sargablock, a small company that transforms the algae (海藻) into construction blocks. A record amount of sargassum is turning crystal blue Caribbean coast waters brown and smelling of rotten eggs as it rots in tourist spots from Mexico to Caribbean islands and now along the beaches of Florida’s east coast. In 2015, as part of his gardening business, Mr. Vazquez launched a beach clean-up service to remove the leafy seaweed. But, as its arrival intensified, he started considering how to turn it into something useful. In 2018, he conceived a way to use sargassum in building blocks. Today he not only sells those blocks for use in construction projects, but also builds affordable housing in his community. Mr. Vazquez grew up surrounded by nature — and the hardships of poverty. It shaped him into someone who takes action. “We never had a house of our own, and we didn’t have much food or clothes. I didn’t have a father,” he says. When he built what he expected to be his nursery’s new office with Sargablock, he designed it as a replica (复制品) of his grandparents’ home and named it after his mother, Angelita. On a recent afternoon Elizabeth Carmen sat on the front porch of her home. Two years ago, she was hit by a car. Mr. Vazquez offered to build her a new home. By December 2021 she’d moved out of the shelter into the two-bedroom Sargablock home. She admits feeling hesitant at first about his offer: Was it going to have a strange smell, like decomposing sargassum on the beach? It doesn’t. “Now when I see sargassum piling up,” Ms. Carmen says, “I think, ‘That’s no pest. It’s my roof.’” 4. What can we infer about Mr Vazquez from the first paragraph? A. He complained about the bad smell of the seaweed. B. He found the value of the seaweed. C. He thought sargassum to be invasive. D. He found his first love on a beach. 5. What does the underlined word “conceived” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Led to. B. Jumped at. C. Looked for. D. Came up with. 6. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. Mr Vazquez’s nature to take action. B. Mr Vazque’s struggle for learning. C. Mr Vazquez’s passion for gardening. D. Mr Vazquez’s miserable childhood. 7. What does the example of Elizabeth reflect? A. Mr Vazquez’s kindness. B. Mr Vazquez’s poverty. C. Elizabeth’s doubt. D. Elizabeth’s pity. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍Omar Vazquez发现入侵海藻马尾藻价值，将其转化为建筑材料，还用于建造经济适用房，帮助他人的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But for Omar Vazquez, his first meeting was “love at first sight”. “Everyone said, ‘It smells horrible!’ and I remember thinking, ‘There’s something more here,’” says Mr. Vazquez, the founder of Sargablock, a small company that transforms the algae (海藻) into construction blocks. (但对Omar Vazquez来说，他与马尾藻的初次相遇是“一见钟情”。“所有人都说‘这味道太难闻了！’，而我记得当时在想‘这里面肯定有更多价值’，”Sargablock公司的创始人Vazquez先生说道，这家小公司专门将这种海藻转化为建筑砖块。)”可知，Vazquez先生不像其他人只看到马尾藻的缺点，反而发现了它的价值，还成立公司将其转化为建筑材料。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“In 2015, as part of his gardening business, Mr. Vazquez launched a beach clean-up service to remove the leafy seaweed. But, as its arrival intensified, he started considering how to turn it into something useful. In 2018, he conceived a way to use sargassum in building blocks.”（2015年，作为其园艺业务的一部分，Vazquez先生推出了海滩清理服务，以清除这种多叶海藻。但随着马尾藻数量的不断增加，他开始思考如何将其转化为有用的东西。2018年，他conceived一种将马尾藻用于制作建筑砖块的方法。）可知，Vazquez先生开始时思考如何利用马尾藻，之后应该是“想出”了将其用于制作建筑砖块的方法，推断“conceived”意为“想出”。故选D项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Mr. Vazquez grew up surrounded by nature — and the hardships of poverty. It shaped him into someone who takes action. “We never had a house of our own, and we didn’t have much food or clothes. I didn’t have a father,” he says. (Vazquez先生在大自然的环绕下长大，也经历了贫困的艰辛。这使他成为一个行动力强的人。“我们从来没有自己的房子，也没有足够的食物和衣服。我没有父亲，”他说道。)”可知，该段主要讲述了Vazquez先生童年时期贫困、缺少家庭关怀的悲惨经历。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Two years ago, she was hit by a car. Mr Vazquez offered to build her a new home. By December 2021 she’d moved out of the shelter into the two-bedroom Sargablock home. (两年前，她被车撞了。Vazquez先生主动提出为她建造一所新房子。到2021年12月，她已经从收容所搬入了这所由马尾藻砖块建造的两居室住宅。)”可知，Vazquez先生主动帮助遭遇不幸的Elizabeth Carmen建造新房，这体现了他的善良。故选A项。 C After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to help. Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from both text and images. This time, researchers have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans. The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, the US, which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10,000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI). The AI system then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the FMRI data — when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, the AI system learned how human beings would react when seeing different photos. Finally, the researchers tested the AI system on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, an airplane, a clock and a train. If the person looked at an airplane, the AI system would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were with about 80 percent of accuracy. The new study created a novel approach that incorporates (合并) text and images to “decipher (破译) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein said. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality. 8. What can AI system Stable Diffusion do? A. Build images from brain scans. B. Turn text into concrete images. C. Scan the brains of people. D. Make our brains more active. 9. How does the author introduce the study in Paragraph 5? A. By analyzing some data. B. By giving the example. C. By making the definition. D. By explaining the reason. 10. What do we know about the study result? A. It was astonishing. B. It was confusing. C. It was convincing. D. It was disappointing. 11. Where can we most likely read the text? A. In a diary. B. In a text. C. In a guidebook. D. In a magazine. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。科学家利用人工智能Stable Diffusion和FMRI技术，对脑神经信号进行解码，帮助人们重现梦境、想象或记忆画面。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“This time, researchers have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans. (这一次，研究人员训练了一个名为“稳定扩散”的人工智能系统，根据人们的大脑扫描重新创建图像。)”可知，Stable Diffusion从大脑扫描中构建图像。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。文章第五段讲到“If the person looked at an airplane, the AI system would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry airplane. (如果这个人看飞机，人工智能系统会使用大脑扫描数据创建一个非常模糊的飞机图像。)”可知，作者举了飞机的例子来介绍大脑扫描成像。因此，作者通过举例介绍第五段中的研究。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。文章倒数第二段讲到“The final images were with about 80 percent of accuracy.( 最终图像的准确率约为80%。)”可知，这项研究结果很有说服力。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality. (未来，科学家们希望这项技术可以用来记录想象中的想法和梦想，或者让人们了解其他动物对现实的不同看法。)”可知，我们最有可能在一本杂志上读到这篇文章。在故选D。 D Did you know that Americans have two new national monuments in the Southwest? They are located in Nevada, which has more mountain ranges than any other state, and Texas, which is the second largest state. Historically, many native American tribes have fought to keep their lands sacred, and some tribes recently scored a victory. After over 62 years, the Yuman language-speaking peoples finally have some relief. Roughly 33,000 acres of Avi Kwa Ame have been safeguarded under the 1964 Wilderness Act. By making all of Avi Kwa Ame a national monument, it links monuments in California to monuments in Nevada and Arizona. In 1926, 3,500 acres of what is now called Castner Range were acquired by the US Government. It is home to part of the Franklin Mountains Range, with a majority of its mountains conserved inside the Franklin Mountains State Park, which was established in 1979. An initiative to obtain status as a National Monument began in 2015. The Avi Kwa Ame is considered the birthplace of the Yuman-speaking tribes, with the Mojave being the most widely known of the tribes. It is located on the eastern side of the largest Joshua tree forest in the world! In fact, the oldest Joshua tree there is over 900 years old. There are also several species that live there, like the bighorn sheep, the golden eagle, and the desert tortoise just to name a few. The newly established national monument creates a pathway for migrating bighorn sheep and preserves territory for endangered species like Gila monsters, screech owls, peregrine falcons, and more. Castner Range was once home to the Comanche and Apache peoples. The Castner Range site includes native American cave etchings, and many distinctive wild species inhabit the environment. The designation for Castner Range will create a path for migrating animals such as mountain lions, mule deer, and other desert wildlife. In fact, the Chihuahuan Desert, where Castner Range is located, is the dwelling place of the biggest remaining colony of black-tailed prairie dogs. Hueco-Mesilla Bolsons Aquifer (含水层) — a major source of drinking water for El Paso and the surrounding towns — is located close to the range. Protecting Castner will help keep the aquifer safe. 12. What do we know about Avi Kwa Ame? A. It is a good place for wind and solar energy. B. It became a national monument in 1964. C. It is connected to Castner Range. D. It is home to the Yuman-speaking tribes. 13. What can you find in Castner Range? A. The black-tailed prairie dog. B. The bighorn sheep. C. The golden eagle. D. The desert tortoise. 14. What do Avi Kwa Ame and Castner Ranger have in common? A. They both protect the largest forest. B. They both have safe routes for animal migration. C. They both belong to the same tribe. D. They both provide a safe source of drinking water. 15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To encourage people to preserve wild species. B. To describe the history of some native Americans. C. To introduce two new national monuments. D. To explain the background for development projects. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国西南部的两个新的国家纪念碑——Avi Kwa Ame和Castner Range。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The Avi Kwa Ame is considered the birthplace of the Yuman-speaking tribes, with the Mojave being the most widely known of the tribes.(Avi Kwa Ame被认为是说尤曼语部落的发源地，莫哈韦是这些部落中最广为人知的)”可知，Avi Kwa Ame是说尤曼语部落的家园。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In fact, the Chihuahuan Desert, where Castner Range is located, is the dwelling place of the biggest remaining colony of black-tailed prairie dogs.(事实上，Castner Range所在的奇瓦瓦沙漠是现存最大的黑尾草原犬鼠群落的栖息地)”可知，在Castner Range可以找到黑尾草原犬鼠。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“The newly established national monument creates a pathway for migrating bighorn sheep and preserves territory for endangered species like Gila monsters, screech owls, peregrine falcons, and more.(新建立的国家纪念碑为迁徙的大角羊创造了一条通道，并为濒危物种如吉拉毒蜥、 角鸮、游隼等保留了领地)”和第六段中“The designation for Castner Range will create a path for migrating animals such as mountain lions, mule deer, and other desert wildlife.(Castner Range的指定将为迁徙动物如美洲狮、骡鹿和其他沙漠野生动物创造一条通道)”可知，Avi Kwa Ame和Castner Range都为动物迁徙提供了安全的路线。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Did you know that Americans have two new national monuments in the Southwest?(你知道美国人在西南部有两个新的国家纪念碑吗?)”以及全文内容可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍两个新的国家纪念碑。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you feel that life cannot be worse for you, it’ll be arduous to think positively.

I responded without hesitation and set out to make a preparation for it. We began the journey at the midnight. Xuan Jie drove the car and I sat at the back. Since it was so early, we were still a little bit sleepy. In order to prevent us from falling into sleep, Xuan Jie turned on the car player while chatting with me about our summer holiday. “Look! There is a river. Can we cross it?” I questioned. “No problem!” Xuan Jie replied immediately. “The car has a superior ability to manage it. Wait and see!”. On arriving at the peak of the mountain, we were excited to see a large number of people like us waiting for the sun rising up as well. Shortly the first sunlight came into our view. We were astonished at the fantastic sunrise and felt content with it. On our way back home at 8 a.m., we caught sight of the same river again. However, we were so immersed in the amazing sunrise that we missed a warning “No crossing 6-10 A. M! Water Released!”. Xuan Jie tried her best to drive across the river. This time, unfortunately, it failed! The car got stuck in the middle of the river. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Xuan Jie attempted to back the car but it didn’t work. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the rescue team arrived. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Xuan Jie attempted to back the car but it didn’t work. The water level was rising gradually, and panic welled up in our hearts. We shouted for help, yet the desolate surroundings seemed to swallow our voices. I fumbled for my phone, only to find there was no signal. Xuan Jie tried to keep calm, looking for any possible way out. We grabbed the emergency hammer, ready to break the window if the situation worsened, and at that moment, a glimmer of hope appeared in the distance. Finally, the rescue team arrived. Seeing the rescuers, hope surged within us. They swiftly assessed the situation and used ropes and a winch to pull the car out. With their professional efforts, we were safely rescued. Sitting on the bank, we were drenched but relieved. This experience made us realize the importance of heeding warnings and the value of teamwork in times of crisis, and also made us deeply appreciate the selfless dedication of the rescue team. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者和朋友宣杰在暑假去山上看日出，回来时因错过警示标志被困河中，车子也被困住的经历。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“宣杰试图倒车，但没有成功。”可知，第一段可描写河水逐渐上涨，两人陷入恐慌，努力寻找求救方法。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，救援队到达了。”可知，第二段可描写救援队成功营救两人，两人获救后的感受和对此次经历的反思。 2. 续写线索：宣杰倒车失败——水位上涨——两人恐慌——寻找求救方法——救援队到达——成功营救——两人感受——反思经历 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①上升：rise/go up ②呼喊：shout/yell out ③寻找：look for/search for 情绪类 ①恐慌：panic/fear ②保持冷静：keep calm/keep cool 【点睛】[高分句型1] I fumbled for my phone, only to find there was no signal.(运用了不定式作结果状语) [高分句型2] We grabbed the emergency hammer, ready to break the window if the situation worsened, and at that moment, a glimmer of hope appeared in the distance.(运用了if引导条件状语从句) [高分句型3] Seeing the rescuers, hope surged within us.(运用了现在分词作原因状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 乌鲁木齐市第23中学高三英语8月月考试卷（问卷） 考试时间：120分钟 考试分值：150分 命题人：高二备课组 审题人：王国强 Ⅰ、阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Shlagel Farms || Waldorf, MD Less than 20 miles from DC, Shlagel Farms is one of the most popular pick-your-own (PYO) strawberry places in the area, their season beginning in early June.

But for Omar Vazquez, his first meeting was “love at first sight”. “Everyone said, ‘It smells horrible!’ and I remember thinking, ‘There’s something more here,’” says Mr. Vazquez, the founder of Sargablock, a small company that transforms the algae (海藻) into construction blocks. A record amount of sargassum is turning crystal blue Caribbean coast waters brown and smelling of rotten eggs as it rots in tourist spots from Mexico to Caribbean islands and now along the beaches of Florida’s east coast. In 2015, as part of his gardening business, Mr. Vazquez launched a beach clean-up service to remove the leafy seaweed. But, as its arrival intensified, he started considering how to turn it into something useful. In 2018, he conceived a way to use sargassum in building blocks. Today he not only sells those blocks for use in construction projects, but also builds affordable housing in his community. Mr. Vazquez grew up surrounded by nature — and the hardships of poverty. It shaped him into someone who takes action. “We never had a house of our own, and we didn’t have much food or clothes. I didn’t have a father,” he says. When he built what he expected to be his nursery’s new office with Sargablock, he designed it as a replica (复制品) of his grandparents’ home and named it after his mother, Angelita. On a recent afternoon Elizabeth Carmen sat on the front porch of her home. Two years ago, she was hit by a car. Mr. Vazquez offered to build her a new home. By December 2021 she’d moved out of the shelter into the two-bedroom Sargablock home. She admits feeling hesitant at first about his offer: Was it going to have a strange smell, like decomposing sargassum on the beach? It doesn’t. “Now when I see sargassum piling up,” Ms. Carmen says, “I think, ‘That’s no pest. It’s my roof.’” 4. What can we infer about Mr Vazquez from the first paragraph? A. He complained about the bad smell of the seaweed. B. He found the value of the seaweed. C. He thought sargassum to be invasive. D. He found his first love on a beach. 5. What does the underlined word “conceived” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Led to. B. Jumped at. C. Looked for. D. Came up with. 6. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. Mr Vazquez’s nature to take action. B. Mr Vazque’s struggle for learning. C. Mr Vazquez’s passion for gardening. D. Mr Vazquez’s miserable childhood. 7. What does the example of Elizabeth reflect? A. Mr Vazquez’s kindness. B. Mr Vazquez’s poverty. C. Elizabeth’s doubt. D. Elizabeth’s pity. C After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to help. Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from both text and images. This time, researchers have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans. The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, the US, which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10,000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI). The AI system then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the FMRI data — when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, the AI system learned how human beings would react when seeing different photos. Finally, the researchers tested the AI system on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, an airplane, a clock and a train. If the person looked at an airplane, the AI system would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were with about 80 percent of accuracy. The new study created a novel approach that incorporates (合并) text and images to “decipher (破译) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein said. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality. 8. What can AI system Stable Diffusion do? A. Build images from brain scans. B. Turn text into concrete images. C. Scan the brains of people. D. Make our brains more active. 9. How does the author introduce the study in Paragraph 5? A. By analyzing some data. B. By giving the example. C. By making the definition. D. By explaining the reason. 10. What do we know about the study result? A. It was astonishing. B. It was confusing. C. It was convincing. D. It was disappointing. 11. Where can we most likely read the text? A. In a diary. B. In a text. C. In a guidebook. D. In a magazine. D Did you know that Americans have two new national monuments in the Southwest? They are located in Nevada, which has more mountain ranges than any other state, and Texas, which is the second largest state. Historically, many native American tribes have fought to keep their lands sacred, and some tribes recently scored a victory. After over 62 years, the Yuman language-speaking peoples finally have some relief. Roughly 33,000 acres of Avi Kwa Ame have been safeguarded under the 1964 Wilderness Act. By making all of Avi Kwa Ame a national monument, it links monuments in California to monuments in Nevada and Arizona. In 1926, 3,500 acres of what is now called Castner Range were acquired by the US Government. It is home to part of the Franklin Mountains Range, with a majority of its mountains conserved inside the Franklin Mountains State Park, which was established in 1979. An initiative to obtain status as a National Monument began in 2015. The Avi Kwa Ame is considered the birthplace of the Yuman-speaking tribes, with the Mojave being the most widely known of the tribes. It is located on the eastern side of the largest Joshua tree forest in the world! In fact, the oldest Joshua tree there is over 900 years old. There are also several species that live there, like the bighorn sheep, the golden eagle, and the desert tortoise just to name a few. The newly established national monument creates a pathway for migrating bighorn sheep and preserves territory for endangered species like Gila monsters, screech owls, peregrine falcons, and more. Castner Range was once home to the Comanche and Apache peoples. The Castner Range site includes native American cave etchings, and many distinctive wild species inhabit the environment. The designation for Castner Range will create a path for migrating animals such as mountain lions, mule deer, and other desert wildlife. In fact, the Chihuahuan Desert, where Castner Range is located, is the dwelling place of the biggest remaining colony of black-tailed prairie dogs. Hueco-Mesilla Bolsons Aquifer (含水层) — a major source of drinking water for El Paso and the surrounding towns — is located close to the range. Protecting Castner will help keep the aquifer safe. 12. What do we know about Avi Kwa Ame? A. It is a good place for wind and solar energy. B. It became a national monument in 1964. C. It is connected to Castner Range. D. It is home to the Yuman-speaking tribes. 13. What can you find in Castner Range? A. The black-tailed prairie dog. B. The bighorn sheep. C. The golden eagle. D. The desert tortoise. 14. What do Avi Kwa Ame and Castner Ranger have in common? A. They both protect the largest forest. B. They both have safe routes for animal migration. C. They both belong to the same tribe. D. They both provide a safe source of drinking water. 15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To encourage people to preserve wild species. B. To describe the history of some native Americans. C. To introduce two new national monuments. D. To explain the background for development projects. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you feel that life cannot be worse for you, it’ll be arduous to think positively.

I responded without hesitation and set out to make a preparation for it. We began the journey at the midnight. Xuan Jie drove the car and I sat at the back. Since it was so early, we were still a little bit sleepy. In order to prevent us from falling into sleep, Xuan Jie turned on the car player while chatting with me about our summer holiday. “Look! There is a river. Can we cross it?” I questioned. “No problem!” Xuan Jie replied immediately. “The car has a superior ability to manage it. Wait and see!”. On arriving at the peak of the mountain, we were excited to see a large number of people like us waiting for the sun rising up as well. Shortly the first sunlight came into our view. We were astonished at the fantastic sunrise and felt content with it. On our way back home at 8 a.m., we caught sight of the same river again. However, we were so immersed in the amazing sunrise that we missed a warning “No crossing 6-10 A. M! Water Released!”. Xuan Jie tried her best to drive across the river. This time, unfortunately, it failed! The car got stuck in the middle of the river. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Xuan Jie attempted to back the car but it didn’t work __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally the rescue team arrived. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
