Despite growing up very close to Kruger National Park, a world-famous safari（游猎）destination, she never had the chance to see or enjoy its wildlife. “This was something for white people, not poor black people like me,” she says. “I always wondered what was on the other side of the fence.” But everything changed for Melody when she completed a Wild Shots Outreach (WSO) photography course, learning how to use a camera and going on her first-ever game drive. “I could not believe my eyes, seeing all this wildlife and capturing my memories and stories,” she says. “It is such an honor to be in nature.”     WSO is the educational outreach arm of Wild Shots, a photography conference in Africa that ran for nine years prior to 2020. Its aim is to engage disadvantaged young Africans in wildlife conservation through photography and by providing an introduction to the natural world, helping to nurture (培育) the conservationists of tomorrow.     The initiative came about in 2015 and was the passion project of Mike Kendrick, a life-science teacher and photographer. Moving to the Greater Kruger area to live in the bush, Mike was discouraged to see the lack of engagement between young South Africans and their natural environment. No only that, in six years of helping to run Wild Shots, he did not come across a single wildlife, landscape or outdoor photographer of color in South Africa. 4. What can we learn about Melody Mnisi?   A. She helped set up WSO.       B. She was born a photographer. C. She was grateful to be a field guide.     D. She shared photos of wildlife online. 5. What has changed Melody’s life?   A. WSO photography course.       B. Her willingness to help others. C. Mike Kendrick’s encouragement.     D. Her curiosity about the safari destination. 6. Which is among the reasons why WSO is held?   A. To raise money.         B. To prevent illegal hunting. C. To stop wildlife trade.        D. To nurture wildlife protectors. 7. What might be talked about following the last paragraph?   A. Comments from Melody.       B. The promotion of WSO. C. Poor life of South Africans.       D. The details of photographs taking.    C     Wild turkeys are a familiar sight throughout New Hampshire, where flocks wander along the roadside and through backyards.     In 1975, Ted Walski, the biologist for New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, released 25 turkeys from the back of his truck in Walpole, a town in the western part of the state. It was part of a reintroduction effort to bring back a species that had been wiped out in New England before the Civil War, where it used to suffer heavy blows—forests vanished for unknown reasons and people got their own way to hunt.     “Originally, I never thought it would get beyond a few thousand turkeys,” said Walski, who spent nearly 50 years working with the birds before retiring in 2019.     Instead, New Hampshire's turkey population has exploded beyond all expectations, now around 45,000 animals—the highest since the reintroduction, and probably the most the state can approach. Reintroduction efforts in neighboring states and around the country have created a similar story—there are 70,000 wild turkeys in Maine, up to 50,000 in Vermont, and more than 30,000 in Massachusetts—all of which total up to about six million animals reproducing in all states but Alaska.     So, what made the wild turkey one of the most successful wildlife reintroduction programs in American history? Most likely, it's due to the bird's surprising and unexpected ability to live among humans. In the suburbs, turkeys can take advantage of edge habitat, like woods and open spaces, and dine on a never-ending buffet of food provided by people—particularly birdseed. Besides, they aren't hurt by native predators, such as wolves and cougars that have largely disappeared from most parts of the turkey's range.     But everyone is not thankful for the turkey boom. The infamously bold birds are troublesome, disturbing traffic and pecking at front doors, as well as potentially dangerous.In 2019, a 35-year-old pregnant woman was attacked by turkey on the streets of Cambridge, Massachusetts—twice.As conflicts between these 20-pound birds and people are on the rise, particularly during the spring breeding season, wildlife officials are trying to cope with the reality that the turkey is here to stay. 8. What had made turkeys extinct in New England before the Civil War?   A. Disappearing forests and unrestricted hunting. B. Ted Walski's reintroduction policy and its effects. C. Turkeys' inability to reproduce and coexist with humans. D. Native predators' occupation of most parts of turkeys' range. 9. According to the text, which of the following statements is true about wild turkeys?   A. Their explosive population is completely out of the control of New Hampshire. B. The number of wild turkeys amounts to around six million in Alaska. C. Their abilities to reproduce fall short of people's expectations. D. They feed on adequate food from human beings. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?  A. It is urgent to protect wild turkeys from being attacked. B. Turkeys are posing a potential threat to natural environment. C. Nobody appreciates the increase in turkeys due to their evil deeds. D. Measures will be taken to tackle conflicts between turkeys and humans. 11. What is the main idea of the text?   A. America witnesses a turkey boom but not all appreciate it. B. The wildlife reintroduction program of wild turkeys is quite successful. C. Wild turkeys' sharp increase does harm to human beings and environment. D. There is a contradictory relationship between wild turkeys and human beings.    D     Plastic pollution is hurting the planet. Even when plastics break down, tiny bits of them still end up polluting the air, the oceans, our food — and even our blood. But a new material might help limit that.     “We’re basically running a giant experiment right now, in terms of what microplastics are doing to us,” says Michael Burkart, a chemical biologist at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Most plastics have been made from crude oil, a fossil fuel. Four years ago, Burkart’s team at UCSD developed a new type. They made it from building blocks that can be produced by algae (藻类). Now, they’ve shown that this plastic breaks down quickly when a particular species of bacteria dine on it.     The new plastic is a type of polyurethane (聚氨酯). It contains many chemical building blocks. Those building blocks are made from ingredients produced by plants and algae. Many types of microbes (微生物) break down plants and algae and eat those building blocks. The researchers suspected those microbes might do the same thing to the building blocks of the new plastic.     To test that, Burkart’s team broke their new plastic into tiny particles. They did the same with a different type of plastic made from fossil fuels. It’s known as ethyl vinyl acetate, or EVA．Then researchers mixed these microplastics with fresh compost (堆肥) — a moist mix of decomposed (被分解的) plants, food waste and microbes. After 90 days, 68 percent of the new plastic had broken down. That number climbed to 97 percent after about seven months. In contrast, the researchers saw no EVA breakdown throughout that time.     The scientists also coated a piece of cloth in the new plastic. After being mixed with the compost for two weeks, that cloth easily broke apart. Another piece of the coated cloth was not composted. It was still undamaged after two weeks.     “I’m so excited for this in the textiles (纺织品) industry,” says Lisa Erdle, an ecotoxicologist (生态毒理学家) at 5 Gyres. “Polyurethane is sometimes used to coat natural fibers, like wool and cotton, for clothing. Over time, that plastic coating falls off, turning into smaller and smaller pieces and never going away. Having something that can easily be broken down by bacteria is better than having persistent plastics in the environment.” 12. What can we learn about the building blocks in the new plastic?   A. They are soft and flexible.      B. They are made from fossil fuels. C. They can be obtained from algae.     D. They can be digested by animals. 13. What is the function of paragraph 5?   A. To further support the experiment’s result. B. To explain the experiment’s result in detail. C. To show the wide application of the plastic. D. To stress the necessity of using the new plastic in clothing. 14. What is Lisa Erdle’s attitude to the new plastic?   A. Doubtful.     B. Supportive.    C. Indifferent.    D. Concerned. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?   A. To call on people to reduce plastic use. B. To raise people’s awareness of plastic pollution. C. To introduce a new kind of environmentally-friendly plastic.   D. To show the damaging impact of the plastic on the environment. 二、补全短文（共 5 题，每题 2.5 分，共 12.5 分）     Being organized is an important part of being a student. 16          Recommended approaches include prioritizing your to-do lists, organizing your school supplies and tracking closing dates.You can be well on your way to becoming an organized student.     ●Have a morning routine.

Andy and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as they thought of visiting their grandparents again. The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents’ eagerly. On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with grandparents.     A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the house was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa. They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandma was waiting for them joyfully.     Andy and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting excitedly“Grandpa, we are back!”     Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed on his face. Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and maybe couldn’t stand up on his own forever. But Grandpa declared stubbornly (倔强地) ,“I can!”Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way. Mum and grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened recently.     The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest. Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers. Grandpa was once an intelligent explorer. He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs. The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs... How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom!     But now Grandpa couldn’t get up. This made them worried. “We’d think out a way to cheer him up.” Andy said.“Grandpa is a bird lover, and we can catch him a bird. ” Berlin suggested. “But he hates birds being caged!” Andy shook his head.     Then a bright idea came to Andy’s mind. “Why not make a cane (拐杖) out of a young tree!” 注意：1) 续写词数应为150词左右；            2)  续写部分分为两段，请在答题卡的相应位置作答。     Berlin thought it was a good idea. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________     Andy and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【参考答案】 一、阅读理解 1 - 3. （7.5分） 【答案】 1.

We have planned to interview you on two main topics. The first one is your experience as an English teacher in China. We’d like to know what motivated you to China to teach and how you have adapted to the education system here. The second one we’d like to explore is your personal experience of living in China. We’d appreciate it if you could accept our invitation. Look forward to hearing from you soon. 【知识点】应用文 47. （25分） 【答案】Berlin thought it was a good idea. With the tools fetched from the backyard, they returned to the forest to search for an appropriate young tree for a cane. Hardly had they selected one when they got started with their big project. Andy, the elder brother, took on the job of cutting it down, while Berlin, who was younger and more creative, was responsible for decoration. Hard as it might seem to them, they never thought about quitting. After what seemed a long time, an elegant and tough cane appeared. Both of them were more than satisfied with their work and couldn't wait to rush home. Andy and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa. The instant he saw it, he knew what it was all about. Deeply touched by the grandsons' gift, he took it with great excitement and tapped it on the ground several times. Obviously, he attempted to stand up with it. With the encouragement of the two brothers, he struggled to get up, slowly walking towards the forest. A cheerful and joyful expression, which Andy and Berlin had expected of Grandpa, flashed on his face. It was at that moment that they felt all the efforts to make the cane were all worth it. 【知识点】读后续写 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
