Natchez Trace Parkway (Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee) Covering 444 miles between the Mississippi River and Nashville, Natchez Trace Parkway has some of the prettiest scenery in the entire South. The fall season also brings special events along the parkway like the Natchez Balloon Festival (October 18-19) and Dancing With The King (October 18-20) in Tupelo, Mississippi. Capitol Reef National Park (Utah) Fall is a harvest season at Capitol Reef National Park —a picture-perfect setting for picnicking with peaches, pears and apples. For a small fee, visitors can self-pick the peaches, pears and apples with ladders and fruit-picking poles provided by the Park Service. Afterward, they can enjoy the fruits of their labor at the nearby picnic area and campground. White Sands National Park (New Mexico) Cooler temperatures are just one of the reasons to visit White Sands in the fall. Another reason to visit in the fall is impressive full moons that brighten the unearthly landscapes of this New Mexico desert park. White Sands celebrates the autumn supermoons with ranger-led Full Moon Hikes (September 18 and October 16) and Full Moon Nights that feature/ live outdoor music, specifically a jazz band on September 17 as well as Native American musician and storyteller Randy Granger on October 17. Joshua Tree National Park (California) It’s hard to avoid crowds at Joshua Tree National Park, but you might have a chance if you visit during a weekday in October or November. By October, the average daytime temperature has dropped, perfect for hiking, biking, horseback riding the 36.5-mile California Riding & Hiking Trail that runs east-west across the park. 1. When does the Natchez Balloon Festival start? A. On October 16. B. On October 17. C. On October 18. D. On October 19. 2. What can visitors do at Capitol Reef National Park? A. Pick fruits. B. Enjoy band performances. C. Meet Randy Granger. D. Attend Dancing With The King. 3. Which park offers activities related to full moons? A. Natchez Trace Parkway. B. White Sands National Park. C. Capitol Reef National Park. D. Joshua Tree National Park. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个适合秋季旅行的美国国家公园。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Natchez Trace Parkway (Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee)部分“The fall season also brings special events along the parkway like the Natchez Balloon Festival (October 18—19) and Dancing With The King (October 18—20) in Tupelo, Mississippi.(秋天还会在公园大道上举办特别活动，比如纳奇兹气球节（10月18日至19日）和密西西比州图珀洛的“与国王共舞”（10月18日至20日）。)”可知，纳奇兹气球节于10月18号开始。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Capitol Reef National Park (Utah)部分“For a small fee, visitors can self-pick the peaches, pears and apples with ladders and fruit-picking poles provided by the Park Service. (游客可以用公园管理局提供的梯子和水果采摘杆自行采摘桃子、梨和苹果，只需支付一小笔费用。)”可知，游客可以在圆顶礁国家公园采摘水果。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据White Sands National Park (New Mexico)部分“White Sands celebrates the autumn supermoons with ranger-led Full Moon Hikes (September 18 and October 16) and Full Moon Nights that feature live outdoor music, specifically a jazz band on September 17 as well as Native American musician and storyteller Randy Granger on October 17. (白沙为庆祝秋季超级月亮，举办了护林员带领的满月远足（9月18日和10月16日）和满月之夜，其中包括现场户外音乐，特别是9月17日的爵士乐队和10月17日的印第安音乐家和讲故事的人兰迪格兰杰。)”可知，白沙国家公园提供与满月有关的活动。故选B。 B Ckunsa, the language of the Lickanantay people who have lived in the Atacama Desert for more than 11,000 years, was declared “extinct” in the 1950s. An extinct language is a language that no longer exists due to there being no speakers or users, in linguistics or otherwise. It’s a language no one bothers to study at all. “I don’t accept that my native language is extinct,” says 50-year-old Tomás Vilca, an aboriginal person living in the depths of the desert. “We are bringing it back. We are going to revive our language.” About 7,000 languages are spoken worldwide, of which around 1,500 are in danger of disappearing altogether by the end of this century. Ckunsa is not the only one to disappear. The Selk’ nam, a native people who lived in the furthest southern reaches of Chile, spoke a language called Ona, which has also been declared extinct. Recently, in 2021, Cristina Calderón, the last speaker of the Yagán language at the southernmost tip of South America, died. With her death, the Yagán language became extinct. “At the educational level, we are working constantly to revive Ckunsa through the school subject,” said Margarita Makuc, head of the Chilean Education Ministry’s general education division. In 2018 and 2019, the ministry spoke to representatives from the country’s 10 native communities to build a curriculum (课程表) for the subject, which was approved and carried out in July 2020. In October 2021, the first great meeting of the Ckunsa language was held in an attempt to plot a way forward for the recovery of the language. And in May this year, a foundation handed out 1,400 mini Ckunsa dictionaries to primary school students in San Pedro de Atacama. Ilia Reyes Aymani, a local 50-year-old teacher, has written short songs in Ckunsa to teach colors and numbers to the local children. “We’re trying to leave something behind for our children, much as our grandparents and ancestors did for us,” says Reyes Aymani. “The more we spread the words and teach people, the faster Ckunsa grows as a language. It’s great to see how people are taking it up, and showing us that our heritage matters.” 4. What does the underlined word “aboriginal” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Creative. B. Inexperienced. C. Local. D. Unlucky. 5. How is paragraph 2 developed? A. By reasoning. B. By analyzing results. C. By experimenting. D. By giving examples. 6. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Students’ performance in Chile. B. Efforts to revive Ckunsa. C. Steps in learning a foreign language. D. Problems with carrying out the project. 7. What does Reyes Aymani think of his present work? A. It is beneficial to future generations. B. It earns him a large sum of money. C. It makes him feel anxious and stressed. D. It gets him to know more famous people. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了智利原住民努力复兴Ckunsa语言的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中画线词前““I don’t accept that my native language is extinct,” says 50-year-old Tomás Vilca, (“我不接受我的母语已经灭绝的说法，”50岁的Tomás Vilca说。)”，以及“person living in the depths of the desert. (居住在沙漠深处的人)”可知，50岁的Tomás Vilca一直生活在沙漠深处，应为原住民。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The Selk’ nam, a native people who lived in the furthest southern reaches of Chile, spoke a language called Ona, which has also been declared extinct. Recently, in 2021, Cristina Calderón, the last speaker of the Yagán language at the southernmost tip of South America, died. With her death, the Yagán language became extinct.(塞尔克南人，一个生活在智利最南端的原住民族，使用一种叫做Ona的语言，这种语言也已被宣布灭绝。最近，在2021年，Cristina Calderón去世，她是南美洲最南端Yagán语的最后一位使用者。随着她的去世，Yagán语也随之灭绝。)”可知，本段主要通过举例子展开。故选D。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“In 2018 and 2019, the ministry spoke to representatives from the country’s 10 native communities to build a curriculum (课程表) for the subject, which was approved and carried out in July 2020. In October 2021, the first great meeting of the Ckunsa language was held in an attempt to plot a way forward for the recovery of the language. And in May this year, a foundation handed out 1,400 mini Ckunsa dictionaries to primary school students in San Pedro de Atacama. (2018年和2019年，该部与来自国家10个原住民族的代表进行了交谈，以构建该科目的课程，该课程于2020年7月获得批准并实施。2021年10月，首次举行了大规模的Ckunsa语言会议，试图为语言的恢复制定前进的方向。今年5月，一个基金会向San Pedro de Atacama的小学生发放了1400本迷你Ckunsa词典。)”可知，本段主要介绍了为复兴Ckunsa所做的努力。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““We’re trying to leave something behind for our children, much as our grandparents and ancestors did for us,” says Reyes Aymani. (“我们正在努力为我们的孩子留下一些东西，就像我们的祖父母和祖先为我们做的那样，”Reyes Aymani说。)”可知，Reyes Aymani认为自己目前的工作对后代有益。故选A。 C India has been one of the world’s largest producers and consumers of wheat and rice. “We used to know when it would rain and for how long, and we planted our seeds (种子) accordingly,” said P. Ravinder Reddy, a former Indian soldier who turned to farming on his family’s land 16 years ago. “Now, many times the seeds don’t grow either because there’s too much rain or it’s completely dry.” Some are taking to what is called natural farming — techniques like planting crops alongside trees and other plants that can protect crops from wind and some extreme weather— to deal with climate change. But that can mean reduced yields (产量), so India’s government is promoting the use of new varieties of rice seeds that don’ t decrease yields. According to a United Nations report released earlier this year, more than 700 million people went hungry last year and over a third of the global population is unable to afford a healthy diet. Apart from India, other programs including a United States government program and privately funded projects are helping develop new seeds that can adapt to climate change in Africa, Central America and other Asian countries. “We really need these seeds to deal with these multiple issues created by global warming,” said Ashok Kumar Singh, former director of New Delhi-based Indian Agriculture Research Institute and a scientist who specializes in plant genetics and breeding. Singh has overseen the creation of multiple successful rice varieties to resist various plant diseases. And his organization, with funding from the government, has released more than 2,000 seed varieties in the last decade. “Ensuring that farmers know about such seeds, can afford them and are trained to use them properly is as important as creating the seeds,” said Aditi Mukherji, director for climate change adaptation and mitigation at the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research and an author of several United Nations climate reports. 8. What can we learn from P. Ravinder Reddy’s words? A. He has been a soldier for sixteen years. B. He has an approach to helping seeds grow. C. The climate in India has become extreme. D. It is easy to predict when it will rain in India. 9 What is a consequence of applying natural farming? A. Yield decrease. B. Energy shortage. C. Land loss. D. Environmental harm. 10. What does the author want to show by mentioning 700 million people? A. The rising population around the world. B. The right way of keeping a healthy diet. C. The importance of a United Nations report. D. The necessity for developing tougher seeds. 11. What is Aditi Mukherji’s suggestion for the governments? A. Training their farmers. B. Creating more jobs. C. Raising the price of seeds. D. Ensuring personal security. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。全球气候变暖迫使各国政府不断开发更适应气候变化的种子。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中““We used to know when it would rain and for how long, and we planted our seeds (种子) accordingly,” said P. Ravinder Reddy, a former Indian soldier who turned to farming on his family’s land 16 years ago. “Now, many times the seeds don’t grow either because there’s too much rain or it’s completely dry.” (“我们过去知道什么时候会下雨，会下雨多久，我们就会据此播种，”P. Ravinder Reddy说。他曾是一名印度士兵，16年前开始在自家的土地上种地。“现在，很多时候种子不生长，要么是因为雨水太多，要么是因为完全干燥。”)”可推断，印度的气候变得极端。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Some are taking to what is called natural farming — techniques like planting crops alongside trees and other plants that can protect crops from wind and some extreme weather— to deal with climate change. But that can mean reduced yields (产量), so India’s government is promoting the use of new varieties of rice seeds that don’ t decrease yields. (一些人正在采取所谓的自然农业技术，比如在树木和其他植物旁边种植作物，这些植物可以保护作物免受风和一些极端天气的影响，以应对气候变化。但这可能意味着减产，因此印度政府正在推广使用不会减产的新品种水稻种子。)”可知，实施自然农耕会导致产量下降。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“According to a United Nations report released earlier this year, more than 700 million people went hungry last year and over a third of the global population is unable to afford a healthy diet. Apart from India, other programs including a United States government program and privately funded projects are helping develop new seeds that can adapt to climate change in Africa, Central America and other Asian countries. (根据联合国今年早些时候发布的一份报告，去年有7亿多人挨饿，全球三分之一以上的人口无法负担健康的饮食。除印度外，包括美国政府项目和私人资助项目在内的其他项目正在帮助开发能够适应非洲、中美洲和其他亚洲国家气候变化的新种子。)”可推断，作者在第三段提及遭受饥饿之苦的7亿人口是为了表明培育更顽强的种子的必要性。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““Ensuring that farmers know about such seeds, can afford them and are trained to use them properly is as important as creating the seeds,” said Aditi Mukherji, director for climate change adaptation and mitigation at the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research and an author of several United Nations climate reports. (国际农业研究协商小组气候变化适应和减缓主任、几份联合国气候报告的作者Aditi Mukherji说：“确保农民了解这类种子，能够负担得起它们，并接受正确使用它们的培训，这与创造种子同样重要。”)”可知，Aditi Mukherji建议各国政府培训他们的农民。故选A。 D A mysterious phenomenon first observed in 2013 in a remote part of the Pacific Ocean appeared so unbelievable. Sensor readings seemed to show that oxygen was being made on the seabed 4,000 meters below the surface. “I told my students to put the sensors back in the box. We shipped them back to the producer and got them tested because I thought they had given us nonsense,” said Andrew Sweetman, a professor at the Scottish Association for Marine Science. “And every single time the producer came back: They’re working accurately.” Photosynthetic organisms (光合生物) such as plants and algae use sunlight to produce oxygen that cycles into the ocean depths, but previous studies conducted in the deep sea have shown that oxygen is only consumed, not produced, by the organisms that live there. Now, the team’s research was challenging this long-held assumption, finding oxygen produced without photosynthesis. Sweetman first made the unexpected observation that “dark oxygen” was being produced on the seafloor while assessing marine biodiversity in an area that’s used for mining potato-sized polymetallic nodules (多金属结核). Metals contained in the nodules are in high demand for use in solar panels, electric car batteries and other green technology. The team took some of the samples of polymetallic nodules back to study in the lab to try to understand exactly how oxygen was being produced. Working with scientists at Northwestern University, Dr. Sweetman discovered that the nodules produce a small amount of electricity. When the nodules are close together, they create enough electricity to produce the oxygen. The discovery raises more concerns about deep-sea mining. Craig Smith from the University of Hawaii said he favored a pause on mining the nodules. Early attempts at mining efforts in the zone in the 1980s provided a warning. “In 2016 and 2017, marine biologists visited sites that were mined in the 1980s and found not even bacteria had recovered in mined areas,” said Smith. “In unmined regions, however, there are many species of sea life.” 12. Why did Sweetman send the sensors back to the producer? A. He broke them by accident. B. He didn’t need them anymore. C. He wanted to replace them with the latest ones. D. He thought they were out of order. 13. According to the text, the team succeeded in ________. A. inventing electric car batteries B. producing oxygen in the deep ocean C. proving the long-held assumption wrong D. creating polymetallic nodules in the lab 14. What is Craig Smith’s attitude to deep-sea mining? A. Favorable. B. Opposed. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. New Research on the Indian Ocean. B. Dark Oxygen Was Found on the Seafloor. C. It Is Important for Us to Protect Sea life. D. A Mysterious Study on Green Technology. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在太平洋深处发现了一种神秘现象，即在没有光照的海底也能产生氧气，这一发现挑战了长期以来关于深海氧气循环的认知，并引发了对深海采矿可能带来的生态影响的担忧。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I told my students to put the sensors back in the box. We shipped them back to the producer and got them tested because I thought they had given us nonsense.(我让我的学生把传感器放回盒子里。我们把它们寄回给制造商，让他们进行测试，因为我觉得它们给我们的数据毫无意义。)”可知，Sweetman认为传感器出故障了，所以把它们送回制造商。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Now, the team’s research was challenging this long-held assumption, finding oxygen produced without photosynthesis.(现在，该团队的研究正在挑战这一长期以来的假设，发现氧气可以在没有光合作用的情况下产生。)”可知，该团队成功地证明了长期以来的假设是错误的。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Craig Smith from the University of Hawaii said he favored a pause on mining the nodules.(来自夏威夷大学的Craig Smith表示，他赞成暂停开采这些结核。)”可知，Craig Smith对深海采矿持反对态度。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了一项在太平洋深处发现的新现象，即在没有光照的海底也能产生氧气，这一发现挑战了长期以来关于深海氧气循环的认知，并引发了对深海采矿可能带来的生态影响的担忧，其中“dark oxygen”是文章的关键信息，贯穿全文，故选项B“Dark Oxygen Was Found on the Seafloor.(在海床上发现了暗氧)”最能概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Anyone with a story to tell can write a book, either for their own enjoyment or to publish for all to see.

Its hosts included my favorite, Jake Miller. Show interns (实习生) handed out boards with questionnaires, all tied to the day’s topic: dating disasters. I sat between my niece Emma and best friend Sophia, coaching them on how to answer. “They want people who’ll make good TV,” I explained. “Think of your funniest dating disaster.” My own “disaster” involved a guy who’d pulled up outside my house, honking (发出响声) instead of coming to the door to walk with me. “He completely ruined the moment,” I wrote. “My mom was supposed to open the door, invite him in, and say I’d be right down — he’d taken away the big welcoming ceremony that was supposed to be held.” I saw the intern smile as she collected my board and looked through my words. All I knew was I’d soon see Jake Miller in person, maybe even talk to him on camera. I turned up my enthusiasm, like I was at an audition (试镜). Other women were interviewed, too, hoping Jake would talk to them, but I was sure it’d happen for me. I imagined it: Jake approaching with a microphone, and I talked about the rude date, laughing along with the audience. Perhaps my story might be included in the highlights collection of the program. When we filed into the studio, I sweated even though it was freezing — I realized I had stage fright. As we took our seats, I caught the eye of the intern who’d smiled earlier; she smiled again. I turned to Sophia and said “They’re going to interview us on the show.” “How do you know that?” Sophia asked. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “I just know,” I whispered, looking at the intern who’d smiled twice before. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the show ended, the intern walked straight to me with my board. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “I just know,” I whispered, looking at the intern who’d smiled twice before. My heart beat hard as the studio lights got dark. Soon, Jake Miller stepped onto the stage, and the audience burst into cheers. Suddenly, the intern gave me a thumbs-up, and a staff member motioned for me to stand. My legs felt weak at first — stage fright going back. But when Jake held out the microphone and said, “Tell us about that guy who honked instead of knocking,” I laughed and began. The audience shouted at the “grand entrance” part, and Jake joked, “He really ruined your mom’s plan!” That moment made all my nervousness go away. After the show ended, the intern walked straight to me with my board. She smiled warmly. “Jake loved your story,” she said. “We might use a part in our highlights collection. Would you sign this?” I gladly signed, my hands still shaking with excitement. As we were leaving, I saw Jake himself giving me a thumbs-up from across the room. Emma and Sophia couldn’t stop talking about how I’d been on TV. It wasn’t just about seeing Jake anymore; it was about being part of his show, even for a moment. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在2005年纽约参加一档名为《Guy Talk》的早间节目录制前的经历。作者与侄女和好友作为观众，填写了与当天主题“约会灾难”相关的问卷，作者分享了自己的约会糗事，并满怀期待，幻想自己能被主持人Jake Miller选中在节目中分享故事，进入演播室后，作者因紧张而出汗，但仍坚信自己会被选中接受采访。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容““我就是知道，”我小声说着，目光投向那个之前对我笑过两次的实习生。”可知，第一段可描写作者在节目录制之前的心理活动以及节目录制的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“节目结束后，那个实习生拿着我的牌子径直走向我。”可知，第二段可描写节目录制结束后作者受到赞美以及作者的感想。 2.续写线索：感到紧张——节目录制经过——受到赞美——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①消失：go away/fade away ②喜欢：love/be fond of ③开玩笑：joke/make fun of 情绪类 ①害怕：fear/dread ②高兴地：gladly/cheerfully 【点睛】[高分句型1]I gladly signed, my hands still shaking with excitement.(运用了独立主格结构作状语) [高分句型2]Emma and Sophia couldn’t stop talking about how I’d been on TV.(运用了how引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025～2026学年上学期期中学业水平测试 高二英语试卷 考生注意： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4.本卷命题范围：人教版选择性必修第一册～选择性必修第二册 Unit1。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Natchez Trace Parkway (Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee) Covering 444 miles between the Mississippi River and Nashville, Natchez Trace Parkway has some of the prettiest scenery in the entire South. The fall season also brings special events along the parkway like the Natchez Balloon Festival (October 18-19) and Dancing With The King (October 18-20) in Tupelo, Mississippi. Capitol Reef National Park (Utah) Fall is a harvest season at Capitol Reef National Park —a picture-perfect setting for picnicking with peaches, pears and apples. For a small fee, visitors can self-pick the peaches, pears and apples with ladders and fruit-picking poles provided by the Park Service. Afterward, they can enjoy the fruits of their labor at the nearby picnic area and campground. White Sands National Park (New Mexico) Cooler temperatures are just one of the reasons to visit White Sands in the fall. Another reason to visit in the fall is impressive full moons that brighten the unearthly landscapes of this New Mexico desert park. White Sands celebrates the autumn supermoons with ranger-led Full Moon Hikes (September 18 and October 16) and Full Moon Nights that feature/ live outdoor music, specifically a jazz band on September 17 as well as Native American musician and storyteller Randy Granger on October 17. Joshua Tree National Park (California) It’s hard to avoid crowds at Joshua Tree National Park, but you might have a chance if you visit during a weekday in October or November. By October, the average daytime temperature has dropped, perfect for hiking, biking, horseback riding the 36.5-mile California Riding & Hiking Trail that runs east-west across the park. 1. When does the Natchez Balloon Festival start? A. On October 16. B. On October 17. C. On October 18. D. On October 19. 2. What can visitors do at Capitol Reef National Park? A. Pick fruits. B.

Capitol Reef National Park. D. Joshua Tree National Park. B Ckunsa, the language of the Lickanantay people who have lived in the Atacama Desert for more than 11,000 years, was declared “extinct” in the 1950s. An extinct language is a language that no longer exists due to there being no speakers or users, in linguistics or otherwise. It’s a language no one bothers to study at all. “I don’t accept that my native language is extinct,” says 50-year-old Tomás Vilca, an aboriginal person living in the depths of the desert. “We are bringing it back. We are going to revive our language.” About 7,000 languages are spoken worldwide, of which around 1,500 are in danger of disappearing altogether by the end of this century. Ckunsa is not the only one to disappear. The Selk’ nam, a native people who lived in the furthest southern reaches of Chile, spoke a language called Ona, which has also been declared extinct. Recently, in 2021, Cristina Calderón, the last speaker of the Yagán language at the southernmost tip of South America, died. With her death, the Yagán language became extinct. “At the educational level, we are working constantly to revive Ckunsa through the school subject,” said Margarita Makuc, head of the Chilean Education Ministry’s general education division. In 2018 and 2019, the ministry spoke to representatives from the country’s 10 native communities to build a curriculum (课程表) for the subject, which was approved and carried out in July 2020. In October 2021, the first great meeting of the Ckunsa language was held in an attempt to plot a way forward for the recovery of the language. And in May this year, a foundation handed out 1,400 mini Ckunsa dictionaries to primary school students in San Pedro de Atacama. Ilia Reyes Aymani, a local 50-year-old teacher, has written short songs in Ckunsa to teach colors and numbers to the local children. “We’re trying to leave something behind for our children, much as our grandparents and ancestors did for us,” says Reyes Aymani. “The more we spread the words and teach people, the faster Ckunsa grows as a language. It’s great to see how people are taking it up, and showing us that our heritage matters.” 4. What does the underlined word “aboriginal” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Creative. B. Inexperienced. C. Local. D. Unlucky. 5. How is paragraph 2 developed? A. By reasoning. B. By analyzing results. C. By experimenting. D. By giving examples. 6. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Students’ performance in Chile. B. Efforts to revive Ckunsa. C. Steps in learning a foreign language. D. Problems with carrying out the project. 7. What does Reyes Aymani think of his present work? A. It is beneficial to future generations. B. It earns him a large sum of money. C. It makes him feel anxious and stressed. D. It gets him to know more famous people. C India has been one of the world’s largest producers and consumers of wheat and rice. “We used to know when it would rain and for how long, and we planted our seeds (种子) accordingly,” said P. Ravinder Reddy, a former Indian soldier who turned to farming on his family’s land 16 years ago. “Now, many times the seeds don’t grow either because there’s too much rain or it’s completely dry.” Some are taking to what is called natural farming — techniques like planting crops alongside trees and other plants that can protect crops from wind and some extreme weather— to deal with climate change. But that can mean reduced yields (产量), so India’s government is promoting the use of new varieties of rice seeds that don’ t decrease yields. According to a United Nations report released earlier this year, more than 700 million people went hungry last year and over a third of the global population is unable to afford a healthy diet. Apart from India, other programs including a United States government program and privately funded projects are helping develop new seeds that can adapt to climate change in Africa, Central America and other Asian countries. “We really need these seeds to deal with these multiple issues created by global warming,” said Ashok Kumar Singh, former director of New Delhi-based Indian Agriculture Research Institute and a scientist who specializes in plant genetics and breeding. Singh has overseen the creation of multiple successful rice varieties to resist various plant diseases. And his organization, with funding from the government, has released more than 2,000 seed varieties in the last decade. “Ensuring that farmers know about such seeds, can afford them and are trained to use them properly is as important as creating the seeds,” said Aditi Mukherji, director for climate change adaptation and mitigation at the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research and an author of several United Nations climate reports. 8. What can we learn from P. Ravinder Reddy’s words? A. He has been a soldier for sixteen years. B. He has an approach to helping seeds grow. C. The climate in India has become extreme. D. It is easy to predict when it will rain in India. 9. What is a consequence of applying natural farming? A. Yield decrease. B. Energy shortage. C. Land loss. D. Environmental harm. 10. What does the author want to show by mentioning 700 million people? A. The rising population around the world. B. The right way of keeping a healthy diet. C. The importance of a United Nations report. D. The necessity for developing tougher seeds. 11. What is Aditi Mukherji’s suggestion for the governments? A. Training their farmers. B. Creating more jobs. C. Raising the price of seeds. D. Ensuring personal security. D A mysterious phenomenon first observed in 2013 in a remote part of the Pacific Ocean appeared so unbelievable. Sensor readings seemed to show that oxygen was being made on the seabed 4,000 meters below the surface. “I told my students to put the sensors back in the box. We shipped them back to the producer and got them tested because I thought they had given us nonsense,” said Andrew Sweetman, a professor at the Scottish Association for Marine Science. “And every single time the producer came back: They’re working accurately.” Photosynthetic organisms (光合生物) such as plants and algae use sunlight to produce oxygen that cycles into the ocean depths, but previous studies conducted in the deep sea have shown that oxygen is only consumed, not produced, by the organisms that live there. Now, the team’s research was challenging this long-held assumption, finding oxygen produced without photosynthesis. Sweetman first made the unexpected observation that “dark oxygen” was being produced on the seafloor while assessing marine biodiversity in an area that’s used for mining potato-sized polymetallic nodules (多金属结核). Metals contained in the nodules are in high demand for use in solar panels, electric car batteries and other green technology. The team took some of the samples of polymetallic nodules back to study in the lab to try to understand exactly how oxygen was being produced. Working with scientists at Northwestern University, Dr. Sweetman discovered that the nodules produce a small amount of electricity. When the nodules are close together, they create enough electricity to produce the oxygen. The discovery raises more concerns about deep-sea mining. Craig Smith from the University of Hawaii said he favored a pause on mining the nodules. Early attempts at mining efforts in the zone in the 1980s provided a warning. “In 2016 and 2017, marine biologists visited sites that were mined in the 1980s and found not even bacteria had recovered in mined areas,” said Smith. “In unmined regions, however, there are many species of sea life.” 12 Why did Sweetman send the sensors back to the producer? A. He broke them by accident. B. He didn’t need them anymore. C. He wanted to replace them with the latest ones. D. He thought they were out of order. 13. According to the text, the team succeeded in ________. A. inventing electric car batteries B. producing oxygen in the deep ocean C. proving the long-held assumption wrong D. creating polymetallic nodules in the lab 14. What is Craig Smith’s attitude to deep-sea mining? A. Favorable. B. Opposed. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. New Research on the Indian Ocean. B. Dark Oxygen Was Found on the Seafloor. C. It Is Important for Us to Protect Sea life. D. A Mysterious Study on Green Technology. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Anyone with a story to tell can write a book, either for their own enjoyment or to publish for all to see.

Its hosts included my favorite, Jake Miller. Show interns (实习生) handed out boards with questionnaires, all tied to the day’s topic: dating disasters. I sat between my niece Emma and best friend Sophia, coaching them on how to answer. “They want people who’ll make good TV,” I explained. “Think of your funniest dating disaster.” My own “disaster” involved a guy who’d pulled up outside my house, honking (发出响声) instead of coming to the door to walk with me. “He completely ruined the moment,” I wrote. “My mom was supposed to open the door, invite him in, and say I’d be right down — he’d taken away the big welcoming ceremony that was supposed to be held.” I saw the intern smile as she collected my board and looked through my words. All I knew was I’d soon see Jake Miller in person, maybe even talk to him on camera. I turned up my enthusiasm, like I was at an audition (试镜). Other women were interviewed, too, hoping Jake would talk to them, but I was sure it’d happen for me. I imagined it: Jake approaching with a microphone, and I talked about the rude date, laughing along with the audience. Perhaps my story might be included in the highlights collection of the program. When we filed into the studio, I sweated even though it was freezing — I realized I had stage fright. As we took our seats, I caught the eye of the intern who’d smiled earlier; she smiled again. I turned to Sophia and said “They’re going to interview us on the show.” “How do you know that?” Sophia asked. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “I just know,” I whispered, looking at the intern who’d smiled twice before. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the show ended, the intern walked straight to me with my board. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
