At some point in her late teens，Vaz realized adventure didn't really mean anything if there wasn't an intention to protect the natural spaces we were exploring in.Motivated by her passion for filmmaking，she began to seek a way that would both satisfy her appetite for adventure and allow her to advocate the protection of the species and ecosystems she interacted with. Today Vaz wears many hats in the filmmaking world，as a documentary director，producer，and presenter.After falling in love with manta rays (蝠鲼)，she discovered they were being hunted illegally and started to dress herself as a seafood trader to get as close as possible to the issue.She traced sellers to figure out why the threatened species were being killed.She shared the shocking details in Peng Yu Sai，her Green Oscar­nominated film on the matter. The subjects that grab her attention，Vaz admits，run the gamut．When she was asked to define her focus，she replied that she preferred variety.She always argues that the issues she looks into are more interrelated than they may initially appear.“I think that it's exciting to dive into the different aspects of environmental stories，” she says. Her work doesn't stop at recording important stories; she also ensures the message is heard.From Vaz's viewpoint，real improvement in planetary protection lies in the hands of each of us rather than just those of several environmentalists.“If you're an engineer and you care about the natural world，you can change the kind of construction materials you use.If you're a teacher loving nature，you can bring that into the learning for your class.” she says. As a filmmaker，Vaz believes it's important to figure out ways that attract the audience who can push for the protection of the natural world. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Malaika Vaz从小热爱冒险，在电影制作中寻求一种既能满足她冒险欲望又能倡导保护她所接触的物种和生态系统的方式，呼吁观众保护自然。 4．What did Malaika Vaz decide to do in her late teens? A．Motivate children to get close to nature. B．Make a film about her childhood experiences. C．Develop a passion for an adventurous lifestyle. D．Combine nature exploration with nature conservation. 解析　细节理解题。由第二段中的“At some point in her late teens，Vaz realized adventure...advocate the protection of the species and ecosystems she interacted with.(在她十几岁的时候，瓦兹意识到，如果没有保护我们正在探索的自然空间的意图，冒险就没有任何意义。在对电影制作的热情激励下，她开始寻求一种既能满足她冒险欲望又能倡导保护她所接触的物种和生态系统的方式。)”可知，Malaika Vaz在十几岁的时候决定将自然探索与自然保护相结合。故选D。 答案　D 5．What is the film Peng Yu Sai mainly about? A．The role of manta rays in the local economy. B．Vaz's personal life as a seafood trader. C．The threatened species in India. D．The illegal trade in manta rays. 解析　细节理解题。由第三段中的“After falling in love with manta rays (蝠鲼)，...her Green Oscar­nominated film on the matter.”可知，这部电影主要讲述了蝠鲼的非法贸易。故选D。 答案　D 6．What does the underlined part “run the gamut” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Are quite popular. B．Cover a wide range. C．Make little progress. D．Are hard to deal with. 解析　词义猜测题。由第四段中的“The subjects that grab her attention，Vaz admits，run the gamut．When she was asked to define her focus，she replied that she preferred variety.She always argues that the issues she looks into are more interrelated than they may initially appear.(瓦兹承认，吸引她的话题run the gamut。当她被要求确定自己的关注点时，她回答说她更喜欢多样化。她总是认为，她所研究的问题比最初看起来更为相互关联。)”可知，瓦兹更喜欢多样化，认为事物是相互关联的，可得出吸引她的话题很广泛，可得出划线短语意为“涵盖范围很广(Cover a wide range)”。故选B。 答案　B 7．What message does the author convey in paragraph 5? A．Human beings are closely linked to nature. B．Stories are effective in changing people's behavior. C．Everyone can make a difference to the environment. D．Environmentalists play a big part in solving environmental issues. 解析　推理判断题。由第五段中的“From Vaz's viewpoint，real improvement in planetary protection lies in the hands of each of us rather than just those of several environmentalists.(从瓦兹的观点来看，与地球有关的保护的真正改进掌握在我们每个人的手中，而不仅仅是几个环保主义者的手中。)”和“If you're an engineer and you care about the natural world，you can change the kind of construction materials you use.If you're a teacher loving nature，you can bring that into the learning for your class.(如果你是一名工程师，你关心自然世界，你可以改变你使用的建筑材料种类。如果你是热爱自然的老师，你可以把这一点带到课堂上。)”可知，瓦兹认为每个人都能对环境产生影响。故选C。 答案　C C Spending time in nature has been known to positively impact mental health for some time now，but even greenery planted along a sidewalk line can be beneficial. Mental health experts have long believed the health benefits of spending time in nature and there're many related studies.A team of German researchers studied the long­term connection between living in an urban area where there are fewer green spaces and levels of depression.To understand the impact of being near a green space­specifically，trees planted along neighborhood sidewalks—they examined data from 10，000 residents of Leipzig，the most populated city in Saxony，Germany.Researchers assessed the number and type of street trees，how close they were planted to homes，and the number of drugs residents took to treat depression. In addition to their closeness to green spaces，researchers also took into account the age，employment status，gender，and body weight of each of the participants.They found that trees located within 100 meters of the home were associated with a lower risk of being given antidepressants(抗抑郁药)，particularly in poor or unimportant neighborhoods.As these populations are usually at a greater risk of being given antidepressants in Germany，the findings prove just how beneficial green spaces in urban areas can be for improving mental health. “Our findings suggest that street trees—a publicly accessible form of urban green spaces taking up a small area—can help close the gap in health inequalities between economically different social groups，” says Dr.Melissa Marselle，lead author of the study.“This is good news because street trees are relatively easy to achieve and their number can be increased without much planning effort.” In addition to the mental health benefits for humans，planting more trees is also good for the environment.“Adding street trees in residential urban areas is a nature­based solution that may not only promote mental health，but also contribute to biodiversity conservation and mitigating climate change，” says senior author Professor Aletta Bonn. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是花时间在大自然中已经被认为对心理健康有积极的影响，即使是沿着人行道种植的绿色植物也可能是有益的。 8．How did the German team obtain their findings? A．By conducting experiments. B．By carrying out an analysis. C．By referring to previous studies. D．By interviewing 10，000 residents. 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段的“they examined data from 10，000 residents of Leipzig，the most populated city in Saxony，Germany.Researchers assessed the number and type of street trees，how close they were planted to homes，and the number of drugs residents took to treat depression(他们调查了来自德国萨克森人口最多的城市莱比锡的10 000名居民的数据。研究人员评估了行道树的数量和类型，它们种植在离住户有多近的地方，以及居民服用治疗抑郁症的药物的数量)”可知，德国研究小组通过分析得到了他们的发现，故选B。 答案　B 9．What did the researchers find? A．Spending time in nature has health benefits. B．Green spaces have different effects on people. C．People in poor areas suffer depression more easily. D．Trees close to homes may reduce the risk of depression. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段“They found that trees located within 100 meters of the home were associated with a lower risk of being given antidepressants(抗抑郁药)，particularly in poor or unimportant neighborhoods.(他们发现，位于房屋100米以内的树木与服用抗抑郁药的风险较低有关，特别是在贫穷或不重要的社区。)”可知，研究人员发现家附近的树木可以降低患抑郁症的风险。故选D。 答案　D 10．What does the underlined word “mitigating” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Wiping. B．Easing. C．Understanding. D．Monitoring. 解析　词义猜测题。根据最后一段的“Adding street trees in residential urban areas is a nature­based solution that may not only promote mental health，but also contribute to biodiversity conservation(在居住区增加行道树是一种基于自然的解决方案，它不仅可以促进心理健康，还有助于保护生物多样性)”和“climate change(气候变化)”可知，种植更多的树可以减缓气候变化，因此画线词的意思是“减缓”，即Easing，故选B。 答案　B 11．Why does the author write this text? A．To give tips on planting trees. B．To report a discovery in medicine. C．To present the findings of a study. D．To share a way to fight depression. 解析　推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“花时间在大自然中已经被认为对心理健康有积极的影响，即使是沿着人行道种植的绿色植物也可能是有益的”及第三段的“As these populations are usually at a greater risk of being given antidepressants in Germany，the findings prove just how beneficial green spaces in urban areas can be for improving mental health.(在德国，这些人群通常服用抗抑郁药物的风险更大，研究结果证明了城市绿地对改善心理健康是多么有益。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是展示一项研究的结果。故选C。 答案　C D Nothing feels more like summer than a neighborhood barbecue.But the annoyance of summer gatherings remains: the buzzing (嗡嗡声) of mosquitoes around our ears. “The buzzing in your ears is mostly just a side effect of the mosquito's wings beating，” said Michael Riehle，a professor at the University of Arizona.“The sound doesn't have a long range，so you notice it most when they are flying around your ears.” “From a distance，mosquitoes track carbon dioxide that we give out.” Riehle told Live Science.“They fly back and forth to follow that concentration level back to the source.” But in fact，that buzzing you hear is likely from a female mosquito.That's because male and female mosquitoes lead very different lives.The males typically hang out and feed on the sweetest part of flowers; they couldn't care less about the humans wandering about.The females，however，need to find a blood meal in order to have enough energy to produce eggs. As she approaches，the female mosquito zeros in on body heat and the carbon dioxide to land on the victim.The female mosquito uses taste sensors on her feet to determine whether the human，or any blood­bearing animal，is adequate to tap for her next meal. But while we feel mosquitoes buzzing around our ears，Riehle noted that most mosquitoes are not attracted to our heads.Rather，these bloodsuckers may be more likely to seek out our feet，which have bacteria that give off attractive smell to mosquitoes.However，most people probably don't notice a mosquito buzzing around their ankles，he said. Another study found that female mosquitoes were more attracted to men who had less diverse bacteria on their skin than to men with more diverse skin bacteria; these bloodsuckers also prefer those who wear dark colors，such as black. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蚊子为什么会在人们耳边发出嗡嗡声以及Michael Riehle教授对比的一些看法。 12．What attracts mosquitoes to our heads? A．There is most carbon dioxide. B．The face skin is easy to stick in. C．There exists their favorite smell. D．They can suck most blood there. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段可知，蚊子在人们头部盘旋是因为它们追踪人们释放的二氧化碳，根据浓度水平找到二氧化碳的源头，也就是说头部的二氧化碳最多。故选A。 答案　A 13．What do female mosquitoes use to determine a meal? A．Her nose. B．Her sensors. C．Her eyes. D．Her ears. 解析　细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“The female mosquito uses...for her next meal.”可知，蚊子利用脚上的味觉传感器来判断它们的美味。故选B。 答案　B 14．What color might help avoid mosquitoes most according to the text? A．Black. B．Blue. C．White. D．Red. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，蚊子喜欢深色的衣服，所以为了避蚊最好是穿浅色衣服。故选C。 答案　C 15．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Why Do Mosquitoes Buzz in Our Ears? B．How Can We Avoid the Buzzing of Mosquitoes? C．How Are Male and Female Mosquitoes Different? D．What Effect Does the Buzzing of Mosquitoes Have? 解析　标题归纳题。根据全文可知，惹人烦的蚊子在我们耳边发出嗡嗡声，然后文章指出虽然我们听到蚊子在耳朵边嗡嗡，但是它们更倾向于人们的脚。可知A项最适合作文章标题。故选A。 答案　A 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。 (2024·浙江 A9协作体期中) Why Do Dogs Roll in the Grass? If your dog is anything like mine，she loves rolling around in a patch of grass whenever she gets a chance.And it always cracks me up to watch my dog，Nala，have the time of her life. 16 Is she cooling off? Is she just super happy? What could it be? Here are some of the most common explanations behind this behavior. 17 It's important to remember how incredibly powerful your dog's nose is.They are picking up on hundreds of subtle scents(气味) that we can't even comprehend! Sometimes they want to enjoy a scent they've found in the grass and will roll around in it to do just that. She's cooling off. 18 It might even be a little wet from a sprinkler—the perfect place for your dog to cool off in. She's covering up her own scent.There's another reason why your pup may be rolling around in that patch of grass.Some experts hold the view that dogs may roll around in the grass to cover their own scent. 19 She's scratching an itch(挠痒).It's good to rule out any allergies and make sure your dog isn't rolling quickly to scratch a constantly itchy back or side，but otherwise，it's probably normal that she's having a good time. 20 I'm not sure about you，but now I'm even thinking about joining mine next time. A．She's having fun. B．She's enjoying a smell. C．But I've always wondered why she actually does it. D．If it's a particularly hot day，the grass may look extra appealing to your dog. E．It is not uncommon to see dogs rolling around in the grass at particular times of the year. F．In other words，they want to smell like the environment so they don't scare off prey (猎物). G．If you notice your dog rolling around in the grass，it's probably just her having the best time ever. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了小狗在草地上打滚的原因。 16．解析　根据“Is she cooling off? Is she just super happy？What could it be？”可知，空后提出了一些问题，说明空处为作者一直在想为什么小狗要在草地上打滚。C项“但我一直想知道它到底为什么这么做。”符合语境。 答案　C 17．解析　根据空后内容可知，本段介绍小狗在草地上打滚的原因之一是它们喜欢草地上的气味。B项“它正在享受一种味道。”适合作为本段的主旨句。B项中的“enjoying a smell”和下文中的“enjoy a scent”相呼应。 答案　B 18．解析　根据设空处前后文可知，小狗在草地上打滚的原因之一是天气热的时候，草地上比较凉快。D项“如果天气特别热，草地可能会对你的狗特别有吸引力。”符合语境。D项中的“a particularly hot day”是前文中“cooling off”的原因。 答案　D 19．解析　根据“Some experts hold the view that dogs may roll around in the grass to cover their own scent.”可知，空处需要进一步说明为什么小狗需要在草地上打滚来掩盖自己的气味。F项“换言之，它们想让自己的味道闻起来像环境的味道，这样就不会吓跑猎物。”符合语境。 答案　F 20．解析　根据“I'm not sure about you，but now I'm even thinking about joining mine next time.”可知，空处总结狗在草地上玩的时候应该是它最开心的时光。G 项“如果你注意到你的狗在草地上打滚，那可能只是它有史以来最好的时光。”符合语境。 答案　G 第二部分　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) 阅读下面的短文，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。 Hank, a two­year­old cat, is a homebody.

When I got home from school，I found Mom cooking dinner in the kitchen.Thinking that she would be impressed，I held out my prize for her to see with a feeling of excitement and pride.Mom，however，was far from impressed.Instead，she was angry at her son for keeping the watch instead of turning it in.Mom then ordered me to go straight back to school and take the watch to someone at the office.I started to argue，but after taking a good look at the expression on Mom's face，I realized that would get me nowhere.There was nothing left for me to do but obey. I have to admit，I was rather angry with Mom for making me give up the watch.I felt that it was justly mine since I was the one who had found it.Yes，I knew she was right，but greed had forced me to keep the watch，and now pride wouldn't allow me to admit that I had done something wrong.But time passed，and I forgot all about the lesson that I learned from the watch until fourteen years later. While I was attending college，I had managed to get a job at a supermarket pushing carts off the parking lot.One morning，I found a checkbook (支票簿)that had been left in a shopping cart.Quickly，I took it to the customer service desk and gave it to the employee there so that the customer who had lost it could pick it up. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Later，as I was outside pushing carts，a man came up to me. Then my thoughts went back to the day when Mom had made me return the watch. One possible version： Later，as I was outside pushing carts，a man came up to me.He told me his wife had left their checkbook in a shopping cart the night before，and he wondered if it had been found.When he told me his name，I realized that he was the owner of the checkbook I had found.I explained to him that I had found his checkbook that morning，and that he could go inside and get it at the service desk.The man was so thankful that he pulled out his wallet and offered me some cash，but I refused. Then my thoughts went back to the day when Mom had made me return the watch.Mom wanted to make sure that her son would always be honest，and never take what didn't belong to him.Because of her，I did the right thing when I found that checkbook，and I was rewarded with a feeling of self­worth that no amount of money could buy.I have come to realize that while we are growing up，some valuable lessons are often the ones that we don't appreciate until later in life. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
