Hilde Lysiak became famous across the United States for reporting on difficult news stories. Now Hilde has written a book telling her own story and sharing some of the challenges she faced. Hilde’s father was a reporter for New York Daily News. When she was young, he often took her to work with him, and she developed a strong interest in news stories and reporting. When she was 8. Hilde started her own newspaper called Orange Street News (OSN) and she did the writing, her sister took pictures, and her father helped her organize and print the newspaper. Following the rules taught by her father, she researched and reported stories of her town in the newspaper. In 2016, OSN suddenly became famous when a murder happened in town, and 9-year-old Hilde was the first person to report it. However, some people criticized her parents for allowing her to report on something as unpleasant as a murder. Others criticized Hilde for “pretending to be a reporter”. Hilde was upset by the complaints, so she responded with a YouTube video. She said, “I want to be taken seriously. I’m sure other kids do, too.” In 2019, she made the news again when a law enforcement (执行) officer threatened to arrest her for filming him. Hilde knew her rights as a reporter were protected under the Constitution. Later, the town apologized to Hilde for the officer’s actions. Hilde’s activities as a reporter have made her famous and she has earned several awards. In April, the book Hilde on the Record came out, in which Hilde tells her own story, both the good parts and the sad parts. She talks honestly about the challenges she’s faced and some of those challenges came from other people, but the others came from herself struggling to figure out who she was as she grew older. 4.

Refusing to accept criticism from different people. D. Being the first to cover a murder case in town. 5. Which of the following best describes Hilde according to the passage? A. Patient. B. Brave.

Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. A Young Reporter Tells Her Own Story B. A Young Reporter Starts Her Own Newspaper C. Challenges Faced by an American Young Reporter D. OSN, a Newspaper Reporting on Difficult News Stories 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了年轻记者Hilde Lysiak的成名之路。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In 2016, OSN suddenly became famous when a murder happened in town, and 9-year-old Hilde was the first person to report it.(2016年，当镇上发生一起谋杀案时，OSN突然名声大噪，9岁的希尔德是第一个报道此事的人)”可知，是Hilde作为第一个报道镇上谋杀案的人，使她在报纸上一夜之间出名。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Hilde knew her rights as a reporter were protected under the Constitution. Later, the town apologized to Hilde for the officer’s actions. Hilde’s activities as a reporter have made her famous and she has earned several awards.(希尔德知道她作为记者的权利受到宪法的保护。后来，镇上就该警员的行为向希尔德道歉。希尔德作为记者的活动使她声名鹊起，并赢得了多个奖项)”可推知，Hilde在面对批评、威胁以及自我成长的困惑时，都表现出了勇敢的品质。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“In April, the book Hilde on the Record came out, in which Hilde tells her own story, both the good parts and the sad parts. She talks honestly about the challenges she’s faced and some of those challenges came from other people, but the others came from herself struggling to figure out who she was as she grew older.(4月，名为《记录在案的希尔德》的书出版了，在这本书中，希尔德讲述了自己的故事，包括好的部分和悲伤的部分。她坦诚地谈到了她所面临的挑战，其中一些挑战来自其他人，但另一些挑战来自她自己，随着她长大，她努力想弄清楚自己是谁)”可知，Hilde的书主要关注她的个人成长经历，包括她所面临的挑战以及她如何努力认识自己。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Now Hilde has written a book telling her own story and sharing some of the challenges she faced.(现在，希尔德写了一本书，讲述自己的故事，并分享了她面临的一些挑战)”和全文内容可知，文章主要围绕希尔德作为年轻记者的成长经历和她所写的书展开。因此，最佳标题应该是关于她讲述自己故事的，即A选项“一位年轻记者讲述自己的故事”。故选A。 C The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem. Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big planteater, it largely shapes the forest and savanna (稀树草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat (栖息地). It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbrush, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants at various stages of growth that attract a variety of other planteaters. Take the rainforests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed planteaters to move around and for small planteaters to get their food as well. What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem. 8. What is the passage mainly about? A. Disappearance of African elephants. B. The eating habit of African elephants. C. The effect of African elephants’ search for food. D. Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants. 9. What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean? A. Fixing the time. B. Worsening the state. C. Improving the quality. D. Deciding the conditions. 10. What do we know about the open spaces in the passage? A. They are home to many endangered animals. B. They provide food mainly for African elephants. C. They result from the destruction of rainforests. D. They are attractive to different kinds of plant-eating animals. 11 The passage is developed mainly by __________. A. giving examples B. describing the changes in space order C. pointing out similarities and differences D. showing the effect and then explaining the causes 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了非洲象对非洲生态系统的重要性，特别是其觅食行为对环境的影响以及非洲象面临灭绝的现状。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big planteater, it largely shapes the forest and savanna (稀树草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat (栖息地). (与其他动物不同，非洲象在很大程度上是其环境的建设者。作为大型食草动物，它在很大程度上塑造了它所生活的森林和稀树草原环境，从而为生活在栖息地的数百万其他动物设定了生存条件)”以及最后一段“What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem. (科学家们现在担心的是，非洲象已经成为濒危物种。科学家们说，如果大象消失了，许多其他动物也将从广阔的森林和稀树草原中消失，这将极大地改变和恶化整个生态系统)”可知，本文主要介绍了非洲象对非洲生态系统的重要性，特别是其觅食行为对环境的影响以及非洲象面临灭绝的现状。因此，本文的主要内容是“非洲象觅食行为的影响”。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“As a big planteater, it largely shapes the forest and savanna (稀树草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat (栖息地). (作为大型食草动物，它在很大程度上塑造了它所生活的森林和稀树草原环境，从而为生活在栖息地的数百万其他动物的生存setting the term)”可知，非洲象在很大程度上塑造了它所生活的森林和稀树草原环境，进而为生活在栖息地的数百万其他动物设定了生存条件，所以“setting the terms”意为“决定条件”。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants at various stages of growth that attract a variety of other planteaters. (这导致在热带雨林和覆盖部分非洲稀树草原的林地中出现了许多开阔地。在这些开阔地上，有许多处于不同生长阶段的植物，吸引着各种各样的其他食草动物)”可知，开阔地吸引了各种各样的食草动物。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbrush, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. (正是大象对食物的巨大渴望使它成为环境的破坏者和栖息地的重要建设者。在它每天不断寻找300磅植物的过程中，它杀死小树和灌木丛，并从大树上扯下树枝。这导致在热带雨林和覆盖部分非洲稀树草原的林地中出现了许多开阔地)”以及第三段“Take the rainforests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed planteaters to move around and for small planteaters to get their food as well. (以热带雨林为例。在自然状态下，头顶上伸展的树枝挡住了阳光，阻止了森林地面上植物的生长。通过拔倒树木和吃植物，大象制造了开阔地，使新的植物能够在森林地面上生长。在这种情况下，森林变得适合大型有蹄食草动物四处走动，也适合小型食草动物获取食物)”可知，文章先介绍了非洲象觅食行为对环境的影响，然后解释了造成这种影响的原因，因此，文章主要通过展示影响然后解释原因来展开。故选D项。 D As the weather turns colder in some parts of the world, signs of autumn begin to appear. At this time of the year depending on your location, you may also see a familiar flower: chrysanthemums ( 菊花). We often call them “mums,” for short. In parts of the United States, many people use chrysanthemums as decorations. The flowers sit next to pumpkins for Halloween, October’s famous holiday. But then the mums are thrown away along with rotting jack o’lanterns. This yearly tradition bothered plant expert Jessica Damiano. In a recent article, she wanted to know why people simply threw away their mums. So, she asked some of her neighbors in Long Island, New York. Everyone had the same answer: They thought the flowers were annuals — flowers that only last for one season. Damiano explained that there are annual and perennial (多年生的) mums. Perennials come back for several growing seasons. Garden chrysanthemums, she adds, are actually perennials. Annual chrysanthemums are often sold in stores as potted gift plants. Special plant stores usually sell perennial mums. If the plants are not labeled at a store, Damiano said to look at the leaves. The large, flat leaves of perennial mums have deep cuts around the edges. The narrow leaves of annuals do not. Perennial mums are hardy flowers. But they cannot survive freezing temperatures. They also cannot survive extreme summer heat. So, that means about half of the United States is good for growing mums. Perennial chrysanthemums come from China. Kaifeng, a city in China’s Henan province, is famous for its mums. Each year, the city holds a popular festival to celebrate the flowers. Chrysanthemum festivals are also held in other countries — like Pakistan, Germany, South Korea, Japan, and the United States, to name a few. Chrysanthemums come in shades of orange, red, rust, pink, purple, yellow, cream, and white. Some can grow to nearly one meter in height. They reach their mature size in about three years. In warmer climates, they bloom again in spring. 12. Why did people throw away their chrysanthemums? A. They don’t like the mums. B. They don’t think the mums can flower again. C. They mistake the mums as lanterns. D. They throw away the mums by accident. 13. How can we tell the differences between annual mums and perennial ones according to Damiano? A. By observing the leaves. B. By looking at the pot. C. By asking others. D. By referring to books. 14. What kind of climate is suitable for mums’ growth? A. Freezing. B. Extremely hot. C. Warm. D. Wet. 15. Where are the perennial mums originally from? A. Pakistan. B. Germany. C. Japan. D. China. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了菊花。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Everyone had the same answer: They thought the flowers were annuals — flowers that only last for one season.(每个人都有相同的答案：他们认为这些花是一年生的——花只能持续一个季节)”可知，人们扔掉菊花是因为他们认为菊花是一年生的花，只能持续一个季节。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“If the plants are not labeled at a store, Damiano said to look at the leaves. The large, flat leaves of perennial mums have deep cuts around the edges. The narrow leaves of annuals do not.(如果植物没有在商店贴上标签，Damiano说要看叶子。多年生植物大而扁平的叶子边缘有很深的切口。一年生植物的狭窄叶子没有)”可知，可以通过观察叶子来区分一年生和多年生菊花。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“But they cannot survive freezing temperatures. They also cannot survive extreme summer heat.(但它们无法在冰冻的温度下生存。它们也无法在极端的夏季高温中生存)”及文章最后一句“In warmer climates, they bloom again in spring.(在温暖的气候中，它们在春天再次开花)”可知，温暖的气候适合菊花的生长。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Perennial chrysanthemums come from China.(多年生菊花来自中国)”可知，多年生菊花来自中国。故选D。 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， Every child faces friendship problems at some time, in some way, but generally speaking, there are three main problems that keep children from being part of a group. ____16____ Kids who do too little in social situations could be ignored by the other kids and may have a hard time making friends.

Suddenly 42. shaking 43. to press 44. and 45. was captured 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一名自然摄影师在黄石国家公园偶遇熊并拍下珍贵照片的经历。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：作为一名自然摄影师，尽管我必须经受风吹雨打，但我喜欢在野外工作。enjoy后接动词时，需要使用动名词形式，构成固定搭配enjoy doing sth.（喜欢做某事）。work的动名词形式是working。故填working。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我可以观察动物们在它们自然的环境里的状态。空后为名词environment，需要用形容词来修饰，nature的形容词形式是natural，意为“自然的”。故填natural。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：我最喜欢的拍照地点是黄石国家公园，它是世界上第一个国家公园。空格处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Yellowstone National Park，指物，且关系词在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which。故填which。 【39题详解】 考查介词。句意：它以其多样的野生生物而闻名，尤其是那里的熊。此处为固定搭配be famous for，意为“因……而闻名”。故填for。 【40题详解】 考查冠词。句意：尽管体重高达300公斤，它们却能以每小时约64公里的速度奔跑，而且还擅长游泳。此处为固定搭配at a speed of，意为“以……的速度”。故填a。 【41题详解】 考查副词。句意：突然，我发现一只熊正回头盯着我看。空格处修饰整个句子，需要使用副词形式，sudden的副词是suddenly，且句首单词首字母要大写。故填Suddenly。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：我僵在原地，双腿发抖。此处为“with + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”的复合结构，宾语my legs和动词shake之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词形式作宾语补足语。故填shaking。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：不知怎的，我强迫自己按下了快门。此处为固定搭配force sb./sth. to do sth.，意为“强迫……做某事”，不定式作宾语补足语。故填to press。 【44题详解】 考查连词。句意：过了一会儿，这只熊转身跑回了森林里。turned（转身）和 ran（跑）是两个并列的动作，需要用并列连词and来连接。故填and。 【45题详解】 考查动词的语态。句意：当我从惊吓中缓过神来时，我发现我这次最可怕但也最奇妙的经历被永久定格在了一张照片里。宾语从句的主语my most frightening but magical experience和动词capture之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态；又因主句谓语动词found为一般过去时，从句也应用相应的过去时态，故用一般过去时的被动语态was captured。故填was captured。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 应用文写作 (满分15分) 46. 为迎接3月21日世界森林日（World Forest Day），你校下周将发起“绿色环保月”活动，请你代表学生会为校宣传栏“英语天地”板块写一封倡议书。内容包括： 1. 倡议的原因； 2. 保护森林的具体建议； 3. 呼吁。 注意：1. 词数100左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear fellow students, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Students Union 【答案】Dear fellow students, As World Forest Day on March 21st draws near our school is initiating a “Green Eco-Friendly Month” campaign next week.

I was never tidy — my side of the room was always a mess, covered with books, shirts, and single socks. Kim, though, was very organized. She labeled all her drawers and even used colors to mark her class schedule. She arranged her pens by color and folded her sweaters by season; everything had its own place. Our different habits often annoyed each other. One evening in mid- October, things got really bad. After evening study, I kicked off my basketball shoes carelessly. One shoe accidentally slid under Kim’s bed. When she found it, she turned bright red with anger. She picked up the shoe and threw it hard toward my side. It hit my desk lamp (台灯) and knocked it over. The lamp fell to the floor, and the bulb (灯泡) broke into pieces on the pile of T-shirts I planned to fold. I jumped up, shouting at her for being so rude. She shouted back, complaining about my messy habits. We both rushed to the door, each wanting to be the first to slam it shut. But just as my hand touched the doorknob, the dorm phone on Kim’s desk let out a sharp ring. The sudden noise cut through our anger, making us both freeze mid-step. We hesitated for a moment — anger still burning, but curiosity about who was calling softening our urgency. I went back to my bed, still angry. Kim answered the phone. From her short, shaky replies, I could tell something was wrong. After hanging up, she climbed into her bed, pulled the covers over herself and started crying. The room suddenly went quiet — a heavy silence filled with a new kind of unease. 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。 As Kim’s quiet crying reached my ears, something inside me changed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was so focused that I didn’t notice Kim had been watching me cleaning. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 As Kim’s quiet crying reached my ears, something inside me changed. My anger faded away, replaced by a sense of guilt. I thought about how my messy habits had annoyed her countless times, and this time my carelessly thrown shoe was the last straw. I hesitated for a moment, then got up slowly. I picked up the broken bulb carefully and cleaned the pieces of glass from the T-shirts. Then I tidied my side of the room — folding the clothes, stacking the books, and pushing the shoes under the bed neatly. I wanted to do something to comfort her, even if it was just cleaning up my mess. I was so focused that I didn’t notice Kim had been watching me cleaning. When I finally looked up, our eyes met. Her eyes were red from crying, but there was no anger in them anymore. “I’m sorry for throwing your shoe and breaking the lamp,” she said softly. I shook my head and replied, “It’s my fault. I should have been more tidy and respected your space.” We talked for a long time that night, sharing our feelings about living together. From then on, I tried to keep my side of the room clean, and Kim learned to be more tolerant of small messes. Our friendship became stronger because of this misunderstanding. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者和室友Kim因生活习惯不同经常互相恼怒，一次冲突后Kim接到电话开始哭泣，作者内心转变，主动清理自己的杂乱，两人互相道歉，最终友谊变得更加牢固。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当Kim安静的哭声传到我耳边时，我内心发生了变化。”可知，第一段可描写作者内心的转变，开始清理自己的杂乱，想以此安慰Kim。 ②由第二段首句内容“我太专注了，没有注意到Kim一直在看着我打扫。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Kim互相道歉，两人关系变好。 2. 续写线索：内心转变——清理杂乱——专注打扫——互相道歉——关系变好 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①消失：fade away/disappear/die away ②整理：tidy/arrange/put in order ③对视：our eyes met/ we gazed into each other’s eyes 情绪类： ①愤怒：anger/rage/fury ②宽容的：tolerant/forgiving/lenient 【点睛】【高分句型1】I wanted to do something to comfort her, even if it was just cleaning up my mess.(运用了even if引导的让步状语从句) 【高分句型2】We talked for a long time that night, sharing our feelings about living together.(运用了现在分词sharing作状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 宁夏六盘山高级中学 2025-2026学年第一学期高一英语第二次月考测试卷 试卷类型：A、B卷 学科：英语 测试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 作答时，务必将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷及草稿纸上无效。 A卷 第一部分：听力 (共两节、满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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答案，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

Hilde Lysiak became famous across the United States for reporting on difficult news stories. Now Hilde has written a book telling her own story and sharing some of the challenges she faced. Hilde’s father was a reporter for New York Daily News. When she was young, he often took her to work with him, and she developed a strong interest in news stories and reporting. When she was 8. Hilde started her own newspaper called Orange Street News (OSN) and she did the writing, her sister took pictures, and her father helped her organize and print the newspaper. Following the rules taught by her father, she researched and reported stories of her town in the newspaper. In 2016, OSN suddenly became famous when a murder happened in town, and 9-year-old Hilde was the first person to report it. However, some people criticized her parents for allowing her to report on something as unpleasant as a murder. Others criticized Hilde for “pretending to be a reporter”. Hilde was upset by the complaints, so she responded with a YouTube video. She said, “I want to be taken seriously. I’m sure other kids do, too.” In 2019 she made the news again when a law enforcement (执行) officer threatened to arrest her for filming him. Hilde knew her rights as a reporter were protected under the Constitution. Later, the town apologized to Hilde for the officer’s actions. Hilde’s activities as a reporter have made her famous and she has earned several awards. In April, the book Hilde on the Record came out, in which Hilde tells her own story, both the good parts and the sad parts. She talks honestly about the challenges she’s faced and some of those challenges came from other people, but the others came from herself struggling to figure out who she was as she grew older. 4. What made Hilde’s newspaper famous overnight? A. Reporting some news on New York Daily News： B. Reporting stories about herself as a young reporter. C. Refusing to accept criticism from different people. D. Being the first to cover a murder case in town. 5. Which of the following best describes Hilde according to the passage? A. Patient. B. Brave. C. Common. D. Humorous. 6. What does Hilde’s book Hilde on the Record mainly focus on? A. Career success. B. Inner honesty. C. Personal growth. D. Other people’s challenges. 7. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. A Young Reporter Tells Her Own Story B. A Young Reporter Starts Her Own Newspaper C Challenges Faced by an American Young Reporter D. OSN, a Newspaper Reporting on Difficult News Stories C The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem. Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big planteater, it largely shapes the forest and savanna (稀树草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat (栖息地). It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbrush, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants at various stages of growth that attract a variety of other planteaters. Take the rainforests for example. In their natural state the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed planteaters to move around and for small planteaters to get their food as well. What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem. 8. What is the passage mainly about? A. Disappearance of African elephants. B The eating habit of African elephants. C. The effect of African elephants’ search for food. D. Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants. 9. What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean? A. Fixing the time. B. Worsening the state. C. Improving the quality. D. Deciding the conditions. 10. What do we know about the open spaces in the passage? A. They are home to many endangered animals. B. They provide food mainly for African elephants. C. They result from the destruction of rainforests. D. They are attractive to different kinds of plant-eating animals. 11. The passage is developed mainly by __________. A. giving examples B. describing the changes in space order C. pointing out similarities and differences D. showing the effect and then explaining the causes D As the weather turns colder in some parts of the world, signs of autumn begin to appear. At this time of the year depending on your location, you may also see a familiar flower: chrysanthemums ( 菊花). We often call them “mums,” for short. In parts of the United States, many people use chrysanthemums as decorations. The flowers sit next to pumpkins for Halloween, October’s famous holiday. But then the mums are thrown away along with rotting jack o’lanterns. This yearly tradition bothered plant expert Jessica Damiano. In a recent article, she wanted to know why people simply threw away their mums. So, she asked some of her neighbors in Long Island, New York. Everyone had the same answer: They thought the flowers were annuals — flowers that only last for one season. Damiano explained that there are annual and perennial (多年生的) mums. Perennials come back for several growing seasons. Garden chrysanthemums, she adds, are actually perennials. Annual chrysanthemums are often sold in stores as potted gift plants. Special plant stores usually sell perennial mums. If the plants are not labeled at a store, Damiano said to look at the leaves. The large, flat leaves of perennial mums have deep cuts around the edges. The narrow leaves of annuals do not. Perennial mums are hardy flowers. But they cannot survive freezing temperatures. They also cannot survive extreme summer heat. So, that means about half of the United States is good for growing mums. Perennial chrysanthemums come from China. Kaifeng, a city in China’s Henan province, is famous for its mums. Each year, the city holds a popular festival to celebrate the flowers. Chrysanthemum festivals are also held in other countries — like Pakistan, Germany, South Korea, Japan, and the United States, to name a few. Chrysanthemums come in shades of orange, red, rust, pink, purple, yellow, cream, and white. Some can grow to nearly one meter in height. They reach their mature size in about three years. In warmer climates, they bloom again in spring. 12. Why did people throw away their chrysanthemums? A. They don’t like the mums. B. They don’t think the mums can flower again. C. They mistake the mums as lanterns. D. They throw away the mums by accident. 13. How can we tell the differences between annual mums and perennial ones according to Damiano? A. By observing the leaves. B. By looking at the pot. C. By asking others. D. By referring to books. 14. What kind of climate is suitable for mums’ growth? A. Freezing. B. Extremely hot. C. Warm. D. Wet. 15. Where are the perennial mums originally from? A. Pakistan. B. Germany. C. Japan. D. China. 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， Every child faces friendship problems at some time, in some way, but generally speaking, there are three main problems that keep children from being part of a group. ____16____ Kids who do too little in social situations could be ignored by the other kids and may have a hard time making friends.

I was never tidy — my side of the room was always a mess, covered with books, shirts, and single socks. Kim, though, was very organized. She labeled all her drawers and even used colors to mark her class schedule. She arranged her pens by color and folded her sweaters by season; everything had its own place. Our different habits often annoyed each other. One evening in mid- October things got really bad. After evening study, I kicked off my basketball shoes carelessly. One shoe accidentally slid under Kim’s bed. When she found it, she turned bright red with anger. She picked up the shoe and threw it hard toward my side. It hit my desk lamp (台灯) and knocked it over. The lamp fell to the floor, and the bulb (灯泡) broke into pieces on the pile of T-shirts I planned to fold. I jumped up, shouting at her for being so rude. She shouted back, complaining about my messy habits. We both rushed to the door, each wanting to be the first to slam it shut. But just as my hand touched the doorknob, the dorm phone on Kim’s desk let out a sharp ring. The sudden noise cut through our anger, making us both freeze mid-step. We hesitated for a moment — anger still burning, but curiosity about who was calling softening our urgency. I went back to my bed, still angry. Kim answered the phone. From her short, shaky replies, I could tell something was wrong. After hanging up, she climbed into her bed, pulled the covers over herself and started crying. The room suddenly went quiet — a heavy silence filled with a new kind of unease. 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。 As Kim’s quiet crying reached my ears, something inside me changed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was so focused that I didn’t notice Kim had been watching me cleaning. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
