B I'm a city kid,who can often be unmoved by nature.But I am impressed by autumn as it unfolds.I'm impressed by how all the reds,yellows and golds that paint the leaves that still stick to the branches in the winds can become their own breathtaking landscape. My wife and I spent a couple of days this week in Bend,Oregon.There were maple trees along a river that looked almost like geysers(),springing up with red and gold leaves.Brown leaves lay on the ground and cracked under our feet with each step. We walked through parks that seemed to have become covered with beautiful Persian carpets of leaves, which wind with swirls(of brown and sun-bright yellow.Dogs played through those leaves,and shook them off their noses.Children dived into the knee-high piles,dancing and laughing.The wind would blow the 高二英语试卷 leaves up there,and seemed to turn them into waves of red,orange,and yellow that rolled across the green of the park.At one point,a couple of leaves blew me in the face.As a city kid,my first response was to say, "What just hit me?Call a lawyer"But of course,it was truly an act of nature. There is wonder and also sadness in autumn's yearly scene.The curtain of summer heat lifts,singing for leaves with shades of orange,gold,and yellow.But the leaves that burn bright will soon fall away.The birds that rested and sang along the branches for spring and summer start to pack to fly off for warmer climates.It is part of the special show of autumn that reminds us how colder days are coming,and the darkness of longer nights. We have ways to be warm and happy in the winter ahead,too.But autumn's rushing days of clear mornings and bright colors can be moments that remind us to open our eyes to the world,and to cherish and care for it while we can. 24.What aspects of autumn particularly amazes the author?

A.He takes them as unchanging laws of nature. B.He regards them as reminders of life's brief beauty C.He considers them predictable and uninteresting. D.He acknowledges little impact of them on human life. 27.What does the author try to convey? A.Valuing today. B.Respecting nature C.Enjoying yourself. D.Recording autumn. C Over the years,villagers living near Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park have often faced challenges as elephants have traveled further in search of food and water.Farmers near the park get spooked-their crops( )keep getting destroyed by the elephants,and some have even been hurt or killed. To address these longstanding problems,last year,16 elephants in Hwange were carefully fitted with special GPS collars()"Earth Ranger".These tools provide hourly information on their movements,enabling scientists to watch over the elephants. "Sixteen is really a good number because if you fit one collar on a herd()of ten,which is the standard size for a school of elephants,we are basically tracking the movement of probably 160 elephants plus,"said Henry Ndaimani,program manager at the International Fund for Animal Welfare(IFAW). The special tracking tool uses GPS technology to put a virtual geo-fence around the park,like a fence around a garden.With real-time GPS information,the research team can discover when elephants enter human villages 第2页共6页) and provide those communities with timely warnings to make necessary preparations. Officials say the special collars have also greatly strengthened the overall protection efforts,with Zimbabwe making progress in its anti-poaching (efforts."It even helps us to discover things like poaching.If the elephant is no longer moving,it means our collars can easily find that it has stopped for quite a long period and it becomes a warning,"said Tinase Farawo,spokesperson for the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority. Simbarashe Chiseva,the IFAW's community development officer,said they have welcomed many young people to help in this important protection work."We've provided the basic tools and the basic knowledge for them to understand the behavior of wildlife species like elephants and lions,"said Chiseva. 28.What does the underlined part"get spooked"in paragraph 1 mean? A.Appear. B.Compete. C.Remain lost. D.Become frightened. 29.What is special about the 16 elephants? A.They are already located. B.They were raised by farmers. C.They were the first to test GPS collars. D.They have the largest herd size in Hwange 30.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about "Earth Ranger"? A.Why it matters. B.How it works. C.Its social influence.D.Its wide popularity 31.What can we expect of"Earth Ranger"? A.It could put Zimbabwe on the map. B.It may encourage public acceptance of IFAW. C.It might be introduced to other African countries. D.It could turn young people into wildlife protectors. D In the days before the Internet,critical thinking was the most important skill that the knowledgeable could have.But in the digital age,according to Anastasia Kozyreva,a German psychologist,an even more important skill is critical ignoring.With such a flood of information,we need to first decide what's worth our attention and time,and what's not. The first strategy is self-pushing.This involves avoiding low-quality information so that we have more quality time for ourselves.It also includes the removal of distracting things from the environment around you. Successful dieters know that they need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes.Similarly,you need to set up your digital environment in such a way that attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight.Of course,we need to follow world events,so we can't just ignore the Internet altogether.When you do go into social media, Kozyreva recommends setting time limits,which prevents you from losing track of time as you click on one attractive link after another. The next strategy is lateral()reading.Its purpose is to improve judgments about the reliability of information,and to protect you from false and misleading information.The strategy involves opening a new web page to find out more about the source of the information.Likewise,it's also good to check the source of the information in an online post.Headlines often cheat people.They're designed to attract attention,not to 高二英语试卷 provide information.The main idea of the article may be completely opposite to the implication in the headline. A sensational(耸人听闻的)claim may provide a link with a headline that seems to support it,but a careful reading of the original source shows it doesn't. We live in a digital age in which we're surrounded by information,much of it of poor quality.Train our critical ignoring skills and then we can get the benefits of the Internet while we avoid falling victim to those who try to control our attention. 32.Which of the following can best explain critical ignoring? A.Rob Peter to pay Paul. B.Look before you leap. C.Make something out of nothing. D.Separate the sheep from the goats. 33.What is suggested in the first strategy? A.Managing our own time well. B.Avoiding access to social media. C.Keeping track of latest events. D.Improving the study environment. 34.How can we get the reliable information of an article? A.By selecting texts with photos. B.By searching for original sources. C.By reading posts with high hits D.By asking authorities for advice. 35.What is the text mainly about? A.Skills used in digital times. B.Significance of critical ignoring. C.Approaches to achieving critical ignoring. D.Links between critical thinking and ignoring. 第二节（共5小题，每题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，选出最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 An article revealed an alarming trend:Students entering universities often complete high school without ever reading an entire novel,let alone reading aloud.As text becomes a means of skill acquisition()reading shorter text will improve academic performance,which will result in more desirable educational outcomes, including college admission.36. It's easy then to assume that the reason students aren't reading books is that they aren't being asked to.37. Schools have slowly changed the relationship between students and books.Reading(or being read to)is no longer seen as an act that has inner value,a joy worth pursuing for its own sake.As a teacher who are exploring to change the situation,I keep reading aloud to older students,hoping to help them appreciate the beauty and value of books. 38.They will read short stories,poems,long nonfiction articles,and even entire novels.I hope that when reading inevitably()becomes unpleasing and difficult,they will remember the times,not so long ago,when their teacher read them a story.39 while recalling moments when they ventured into the mysterious land of Narnia,cheered for Frodo in the depths of Mount Doom,or gasped()at the sight of Boo Radley behind a door. "A good story,well told."That is how my father described the books I treasured as a child.I've fallen in love with many books since then,but the stories I loved most are the ones he read to me.40.At least, that's the story I'm telling myself. A.I hope they will continue their reading 第3页共6页) B.Actually,something deeper is happening C.My students will also read text on their own D.They never know what it means to read aloud a long passage E.I'm sure reading aloud to students helps them love books as I do F.For this sake,many students are required only to read short passages G.Therefore,high school students are rather familiar with short passages 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，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。 When I was 8,my family moved into our brand-new home.My parents had adapted it to our own 41 needs and interests,including built-in bookshelves to 42 their hundreds of books and a large,bright sunroom to shelter all the plants my garden-loving father planned to grow.Unfortunately,a few months later,a heart attack 43 his life. y mother,.who never had the44,filled our sunroom with low-light plants like fernst(蕨类植物)， which constantly died off.Instead of giving up,she 45 over years and eventually got better through trial(试验)and46 She never specifically said she wanted to become a better gardener as a way to keep my dad's memory alive, but I knew the sight of the 47 could call to mind their happy time.It was a 48 to her that at least part of the room always had plants growing in it.

But,occasionally in the backseat of a taxi,or when meeting a friend's father,I'd find myself faced with a well-intentioned opener like,"Stephen,terrible season we're having,eh?",or simply," Who do you support?",and feel my heart sink,knowing my reply would unavoidably disappoint.S ometimes,such fellows would give me a friendly follow-up,“Oh,right,are you a rugby(撖揽球)m an,then?Cricket?"-an equally unhelpful line of enquiry,given my total indifference to any s port aside from the Olympics (and there's only two weeks every four years when anyone wants to c hat about the Olympics). This attitude of mine,I could see,had closed hours of conversation,evenings out,even entire friendships with people (well,men,mainly)that I might otherwise have enjoyed.I couldn't change 高二英语试卷( the fact that I found football boring,but was coming to regret my outsider status as much as I celebrated it. 注意：1.续写词数应为150词左右； 2.续写部分分为2段，每段开头已为你写好。 After I became a dad,I didn't want my two boys to lack the desirable social skill.
