One weekend last summer, I paid a visit to the Sahara Desert with my boyfriend David. Before we went to the Sahara Desert, we had heard about the sandstorms there. But we didn’t believe we would be so unlucky to experience one.
We were in a jeep with our guide when someone who was traveling with us said a sandstorm was coming. But the guide shook his head, saying we shouldn’t worry. He took us straight to the place where we would take a camel ride.
We were watching sunrise after the camel ride when the sandstorm came. The winds roared through the valleys between dunes, lifting the sand until it was impossible to breathe.
David found me in the sand. Then he began taking off his long scarf around his neck and face, wanting to put it around my face instead. But I rejected it. Instead, I managed to put on a travel jacket that I had put in my backpack and pulled the hood around my face. David held me and we walked in the sand. All I wanted was to get back to our camp and out of the storm.
Unfortunately, getting back to the camp meant facing the storm. Both David and I climbed on our camels. Sand hit every part of my body. With eyes shut tight, I was blind, unable to control the camel. When we finally stopped, David helped me to get off the camel and led me to the side of a long black tent, where he rolled out a blanket and helped me to sit. We saw our guide near us. “I thought you guys were going to kill me,” he said. “There were signs, if I had paid attention. The driver asked me twice about doing the ride tomorrow morning instead of tonight, but everyone was so excited about riding camels that I didn’t want to see all of you feel upset.”
Most of us laughed it off. A few even took a pleasure in the experience. Though I suffered a lot, I didn’t regret my trip there. How many people can say they’ve ridden a camel through a sandstorm in the Sahara Desert?
4. What happened to the author and her boyfriend?
A. They lost their travel jackets.
B. They met with a strong sandstorm.
C. They were cheated by a guide.
D. They got lost in the Sahara Desert.
5. What can be learned about the author and her boyfriend?
A. Their eyes were damaged in the sandstorm.
B. They prepared well for a possible sandstorm.
C. They had good skills in surviving sandstorms.
D. They suffered a lot on the way back to the camp.
6. Why didn’t the guide move the camel ride to the next day?
A. He was encouraged not to by the driver.
B. He thought the sandstorm would stop soon.
C. He didn’t want to let the tourists down.
D. He wanted to finish the tour as quickly as possible.
7. What does the author most probably think of the experience?
A. Unforgettable. B. Common. C. Painful. D. Unfortunate.
C
Many kinds of birds migrate (迁徙) every year, raising a family in one place during the warm summer months before flying to a warmer place to spend the cold winter months. In the northern half of the world, many birds fly north in the summer and south in the winter, looking for food and better conditions.
Many birds die along the way. Some of these deaths are the result of human actions, such as hunting or clearing huge areas of land that used to be used by migrating birds. But one of the biggest threats to migrating birds comes from things humans have built. Experts say that as many as one billion birds may die every year in the US alone as a result of flying into buildings. Other tall structures, such as power lines and cell towers, also lead to many bird deaths.
Buildings are a special challenge for migrating birds. The windows can reflect things like the sky or trees, causing birds to fly directly into the glass. And many birds migrate at night. As a result, the difficulty in migrating is amplified at night. That is because the bright city lights can confuse birds that are normally guided by the stars.
Philadelphia got a sad reminder of that last October when thousands of migrating birds were killed in one night. Over 1,000 birds were believed to have died in just one small area. Scientists still aren’t sure what made that night so bad, but it may have been connected with the low clouds over the city at the time.
Now the city begins a program called Lights Out Philly. Twice a year (from April 1 to May 31. and from August 15 to November 15), many of the city’s buildings go dark at night. The program, run by Bird Safe Philly, asks building owners and people who live in the area to keep the lights off between midnight and 6 in the morning. So far, many of the city’s best-known and tallest buildings have taken part in the program.
8. What does paragraph 2 tell us about the migration of birds?
A. It takes place once a year.
B. It can affect human activities.
C. It can be hard and dangerous.
D. It is caused by human actions sometimes.
9. What does the underlined word “amplified” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Increased. B. Reduced.
C. Handled. D. Replaced.
10. What does the program run by Bird Safe Philly ask people to do?
A. Stop hunting birds. B. Go out less at night.
C. Build homes for birds in cities. D. Tum off lights during the required time.
11. Why is Lights Out Philly started?
A. To protect the environment.
B. To educate the public on birds.
C. To cut the cost of electricity.
D. To help birds pass Philadelphia safely.
D
Parents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with doubt, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers (同龄人) into doing something silly or even dangerous. Their worries make sense. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.
In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning (扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two parts related to rewards (奖赏) when they were being watched by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain start working whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which makes them feel good. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which makes them want to seek higher-risk experiences.
But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study, Steinberg’s team used a card game to research how peers influence the way young people gather and apply information. It included 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks (牌堆): two decks had “good” cards, and two “bad” ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers do more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.
Now some experts are suggesting that we should take advantage of the teens’ strong sensitivity (敏感性) to the presence of friends to improve education. “Risk taking in an educational setting is a very important skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.
12. What does the author want to say by mentioning Steinberg’s study?
A. Parents’ worries are reasonable. B. Teens drive more carelessly with peers.
C. Adults are better drivers than teens. D. Peer pressure only brings harm.
13. What is the reason behind teens’ dangerous behavior?
A. Inability to tell right from wrong. B. A sense of satisfaction.
C. Eagerness to follow their friends. D. Lack of social experience.
14. How does risk-taking influence teens in the latest study?
A. It starts fights between them. B. It inspires them to question.
C. It weakens their independence. D. It helps them to learn better.
15. What does Blakemore think of involving peers in learning?
A. Helpful. B. Unnecessary. C. Risky. D. Challenging.

One weekend last summer, I paid a visit to the Sahara Desert with my boyfriend David. Before we went to the Sahara Desert, we had heard about the sandstorms there. But we didn’t believe we would be so unlucky to experience one.
We were in a jeep with our guide when someone who was traveling with us said a sandstorm was coming. But the guide shook his head, saying we shouldn’t worry. He took us straight to the place where we would take a camel ride.
We were watching sunrise after the camel ride when the sandstorm came. The winds roared through the valleys between dunes, lifting the sand until it was impossible to breathe.
David found me in the sand. Then he began taking off his long scarf around his neck and face, wanting to put it around my face instead. But I rejected it. Instead, I managed to put on a travel jacket that I had put in my backpack and pulled the hood around my face. David held me and we walked in the sand. All I wanted was to get back to our camp and out of the storm.
Unfortunately, getting back to the camp meant facing the storm. Both David and I climbed on our camels. Sand hit every part of my body. With eyes shut tight, I was blind, unable to control the camel. When we finally stopped, David helped me to get off the camel and led me to the side of a long black tent, where he rolled out a blanket and helped me to sit. We saw our guide near us. “I thought you guys were going to kill me,” he said. “There were signs, if I had paid attention. The driver asked me twice about doing the ride tomorrow morning instead of tonight, but everyone was so excited about riding camels that I didn’t want to see all of you feel upset.”
Most of us laughed it off. A few even took a pleasure in the experience. Though I suffered a lot, I didn’t regret my trip there. How many people can say they’ve ridden a camel through a sandstorm in the Sahara Desert?
4. What happened to the author and her boyfriend?
A. They lost their travel jackets.
B. They met with a strong sandstorm.
C. They were cheated by a guide.
D. They got lost in the Sahara Desert.
5. What can be learned about the author and her boyfriend?
A. Their eyes were damaged in the sandstorm.
B. They prepared well for a possible sandstorm.
C. They had good skills in surviving sandstorms.
D. They suffered a lot on the way back to the camp.
6. Why didn’t the guide move the camel ride to the next day?
A. He was encouraged not to by the driver.
B. He thought the sandstorm would stop soon.
C. He didn’t want to let the tourists down.
D. He wanted to finish the tour as quickly as possible.
7. What does the author most probably think of the experience?
A. Unforgettable. B. Common. C. Painful. D. Unfortunate.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A

Many kinds of birds migrate (迁徙) every year, raising a family in one place during the warm summer months before flying to a warmer place to spend the cold winter months. In the northern half of the world, many birds fly north in the summer and south in the winter, looking for food and better conditions.
Many birds die along the way. Some of these deaths are the result of human actions, such as hunting or clearing huge areas of land that used to be used by migrating birds. But one of the biggest threats to migrating birds comes from things humans have built. Experts say that as many as one billion birds may die every year in the US alone as a result of flying into buildings. Other tall structures, such as power lines and cell towers, also lead to many bird deaths.
Buildings are a special challenge for migrating birds. The windows can reflect things like the sky or trees, causing birds to fly directly into the glass. And many birds migrate at night. As a result, the difficulty in migrating is amplified at night. That is because the bright city lights can confuse birds that are normally guided by the stars.
Philadelphia got a sad reminder of that last October when thousands of migrating birds were killed in one night. Over 1,000 birds were believed to have died in just one small area. Scientists still aren’t sure what made that night so bad, but it may have been connected with the low clouds over the city at the time.
Now the city begins a program called Lights Out Philly. Twice a year (from April 1 to May 31. and from August 15 to November 15), many of the city’s buildings go dark at night. The program, run by Bird Safe Philly, asks building owners and people who live in the area to keep the lights off between midnight and 6 in the morning. So far, many of the city’s best-known and tallest buildings have taken part in the program.
8. What does paragraph 2 tell us about the migration of birds?
A. It takes place once a year.
B. It can affect human activities.
C. It can be hard and dangerous.
D. It is caused by human actions sometimes.
9. What does the underlined word “amplified” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Increased. B. Reduced.
C. Handled. D. Replaced.
10. What does the program run by Bird Safe Philly ask people to do?
A. Stop hunting birds. B. Go out less at night.
C. Build homes for birds in cities. D. Tum off lights during the required time.
11. Why is Lights Out Philly started?
A. To protect the environment.
B. To educate the public on birds.
C. To cut the cost of electricity.
D. To help birds pass Philadelphia safely.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D

推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Many birds die along the way. Some of these deaths are the result of human actions, such as hunting or clearing huge areas of land that used to be used by migrating birds. But one of the biggest threats to migrating birds comes from things humans have built.(许多鸟类在迁徙途中死亡。其中一些死亡是人类活动的结果,如狩猎或清除曾经被迁徙鸟类使用的广阔土地。然而,对迁徙鸟类而言,最大的威胁之一来自于人类建造的结构。)”可知,鸟在迁徙途中的一些死亡是人类活动造成,由此可知,鸟类在迁徙过程中会遇到许多危险,包括来自人类行为和建筑物的威胁。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词前的“And many birds migrate at night.(许多鸟类在夜间迁徙。)”以及划线单词后的“That is because the bright city lights can confuse birds that are normally guided by the stars.(那是因为明亮的城市灯光会让那些通常依靠星星导航的鸟类感到困惑。)”可知,由于明亮的城市灯光会让那些通常依靠星星导航的鸟类感到困惑,所以在夜间迁徙的困难应该是增大,由此可知,划线单词的意思是“增大,扩大”,与“Increased”相近。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据尾段中的“The program, run by Bird Safe Philly, asks building owners and people who live in the area to keep the lights off between midnight and 6 in the morning.(由Bird Safe Philly运行的该项目,要求建筑业主和居住在该区域的人们在午夜至早上6点之间关闭灯光。)”可知,该项目要求人们在规定时间内关灯。故选D。

Parents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with doubt, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers (同龄人) into doing something silly or even dangerous. Their worries make sense. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.
In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning (扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two parts related to rewards (奖赏) when they were being watched by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain start working whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which makes them feel good. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which makes them want to seek higher-risk experiences.
But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study, Steinberg’s team used a card game to research how peers influence the way young people gather and apply information. It included 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks (牌堆): two decks had “good” cards, and two “bad” ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers do more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.
Now some experts are suggesting that we should take advantage of the teens’ strong sensitivity (敏感性) to the presence of friends to improve education. “Risk taking in an educational setting is a very important skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.
12. What does the author want to say by mentioning Steinberg’s study?
A. Parents’ worries are reasonable. B. Teens drive more carelessly with peers.
C. Adults are better drivers than teens. D. Peer pressure only brings harm.
13. What is the reason behind teens’ dangerous behavior?
A. Inability to tell right from wrong. B. A sense of satisfaction.
C. Eagerness to follow their friends. D. Lack of social experience.
14. How does risk-taking influence teens in the latest study?
A. It starts fights between them. B. It inspires them to question.
C. It weakens their independence. D. It helps them to learn better.
15. What does Blakemore think of involving peers in learning?
A. Helpful. B. Unnecessary. C. Risky. D. Challenging.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了中国学生赴英留学的相关情况。2019年中国赴英读大学的学生数量达到峰值,因中美贸易战等原因,越来越多学生选择英国。文章还指出中国学生在英面临学科选择有限、安全问题以及文化理解和社交方面的挑战。
【36题详解】
考查代词。句意:前往英国接受大学教育的中国学生数量在2019年达到了顶峰。此处修饰名词“peak(顶峰)”,应用形容词性物主代词,it的形容词性物主代词是its,意为“它的”,指代“中国学生数量的”。故填its。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:从今年秋天开始,英国大学已经收到了近20, 000份中国学生的申请。根据时间状语“Since this autumn(从今年秋天开始)”可知,此处强调从过去某一时间开始一直持续到现在的动作,应用现在完成时,其结构为“have/has +过去分词”。主语“the British universities(英国的大学)”是复数,所以用have received。故填have received。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:因此,越来越多的中国学生考虑去英国而不是美国学习。“consider doing sth.”是固定短语,意为“考虑做某事”,所以用动名词going。故填going。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:作为一所著名的大学,曼彻斯特大学拥有欧洲数量最多的中国学生。此处表示泛指“一所”著名的大学,且famous是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:作为一所著名的大学,曼彻斯特大学拥有欧洲数量最多的中国学生。根据语境及空前的“the”可知,这里是将曼彻斯特大学与欧洲其他大学比较,中国学生数量“最多”,所以用large的最高级形式largest。故填largest。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:目前,中国学生只专注于有限数量的学科,如经济学和商业。此处修饰名词“number(数量)”,应用形容词形式,limit的形容词是limited,意为“有限的”。故填limited。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:中国学生面临的另一个挑战是他们的安全,因为人们认为他们很富有。根据空前的“their(他们的)”可知,此处应填名词,safe的名词是safety,意为“安全”作表语。故填safety。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意:两国的学生都对彼此感兴趣,但他们并没有太多的交流。根据前后句的逻辑关系,“对彼此感兴趣”和“没有太多交流”之间是转折关系,所以用连词but。故填but。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:这两个群体的社交方式完全不同。此处修饰形容词“different(不同的)”,应用副词形式,complete的副词是completely,意为“完全地”。故填completely。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:英国学生喜欢在有音乐的酒吧里喝酒。根据语境,这里表示“有音乐的酒吧”,用介词with表示“有;带有”。故填with。

I enjoyed most of the ____52____ (class), but some of them were quite challenging. Technology classes were fun. I made a clock to take home. The teacher helped me put the parts together. I like it so much ____53____ I still use it as my alarm. I found math quite easy and enjoyable because the material was ____54____ (advance) in the UK than in China. However, learning in English was a great challenge for me. There were a lot of difficult English words, especially in Geography and Biology.

47. to acquire
48. importantly
49. to 50. begins
51. continuous
52. classes
53. that 54. more advanced
55. myself
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要向读者描述高中生活,提及高中生活充满挑战但也蕴含机遇,鼓励读者积极面对。还分享了自己高中时各类课程的体验,包括技术课、数学课,以及用英语学习带来的挑战等。
【46题详解】
考查代词。句意:然而,对于你们当中那些拥有积极心态的人来说,机遇存在于每一次挑战中。这里需要指代“你们当中那些人”,“that”的复数形式“those”用于指代复数名词,符合语境,指代“你们中拥有积极心态的那些人”。故填those。
【47题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当你迎接挑战时,你将有机会获得丰富的知识并享受个人成长。“have the opportunity to do sth.”是固定搭配,意思是“有机会做某事”,这里用动词不定式“to acquire”作后置定语,修饰“opportunity”,表明这个机会是用来“获得知识”的。故填to acquire。
【48题详解】
考查副词。句意:最重要的是,你在高中的时间和努力将开启你潜力的大门。“most importantly”是一个常用的插入语,在句子中作状语,用来强调后面内容的重要性,“important”的副词形式是“importantly”。故填importantly。
【49题详解】
考查介词。句意:最重要的是,你在高中的时间和努力将开启你潜力的大门。“open the door to...”是固定短语,意思是“为……打开大门”,这里表示为挖掘潜力打开大门,所以用介词“to”。故填to。
【50题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:正如老子明智地说:“千里之行,始于足下。”这句话描述的是一个普遍的真理,所以使用一般现在时。主语“A journey of thousand miles(千里之行)”是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词“begin”要用第三人称单数形式“begins”。故填begins。
【51题详解】
考查形容词。句意:你需要持续努力来训练你的思维并培养你的性格。这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词“effort(努力)”,“continue”的形容词形式是“continuous”,意思是“持续的”,“make a continuous effort”表示“持续努力”。故填continuous。
【52题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:我喜欢大部分课程,但有些课程相当有挑战性。“class”是可数名词,“most of...”表示“……中的大多数”,其后接可数名词时要用复数形式,所以这里用“classes”,表示“大部分课程”。故填classes。
【53题详解】
考查结果状语从句。句意:我非常喜欢它,以至于我仍然用它作为我的闹钟。“so... that...”是一个固定句型,引导结果状语从句,意思是“如此……以至于……”,表示前一句“I like it so much”所导致的结果是“我仍然用它作为我的闹钟”。故填that。
【54题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:我发现数学相当简单且有趣,因为(这里的)数学内容比在中国时更高级。句中有“than”,这是比较级的标志词,“advance”的形容词形式是“advanced(高级的)”,其比较级是“more advanced”,表示“更高级的”。故填more advanced。
【55题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:在英国,课堂讨论非常重要,但我无法做出很大贡献,因为有时我不能用英语清楚地表达自己。“express oneself”固定短语,意思是“表达自己”,主语是“I”,所以要用反身代词“myself”。故填myself。

【答案】Dear Mr. Jim,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to share my thoughts about the recent decline in participation at the English Corner. As an active member, I feel that many students have lost interest due to a lack of interesting activities.
To improve the situation, I suggest organizing more events such as games, debates, and movie nights. These activities would make learning English more enjoyable and encourage students to take part. Additionally, inviting guest speakers or organizing cultural exchange events could also inspire more students to join.
Thank you for your attention!
Yours,
Li Hua
