B On January 8, a big fire called the Sunset Fire burned close to many homes in Hollywood Hills. Vince Brocato and his wife, Candice, were very worried. They had lived in their house for more than 30 years. On that day, they were not home, but they watched the fire using their security camera (安全摄像头). Suddenly, they saw a stranger appear at their house. Just before that, they had used the camera to scare away someone who they thought might try to steal things. So when they saw this new man, Vince spoke through the camera,"Hello, can I help you?" "Yeah, your house is on fire. A firefighter and I have just stopped it!"he shouted. The man's answer left them shocked. There were no fire trucks around. The man and one firefighter had acted quickly. They couldn't go into the yard because of a locked gate. But they didn't give up. They found a garden hose（水管）and used it to fight the fire. It wasn't easy, but it worked. They stopped the fire from burning the house down. "If our house had gone, the neighborhood would have gone,"Candice said, realizing the full weight of the heroes' actions. When the couple came back home, they saw their door was damaged. The wood was black, and some parts had melted. But the house was still there thanks to the brave man and the firefighter. They still don't know who the man and the firefighter are. But one thing is clear: two very brave people helped save not just their home, but maybe the whole neighborhood. Who are they? That's still a mystery. 49. How did Vince and Candice first learn about the fire? A. They smelled smoke. B. A neighbor told them. C. They received a phone call. D. They saw it through their security camera. 50. What is the writer trying to show through the underlined sentences? A. The man lied to the couple. B. The fire was serious. C. Someone broke the door on purpose. D. The couple didn't take good care of the house. 51. What can we infer about the stranger from the text? A. He was brave and ready to help others. B. He wanted to steal things from the couple's house at first. C. He was a professional（专业的）firefighter working in Hollywood Hills. D. He asked for money from the couple after putting out the fire. 52. What is the main purpose of this story? A. To explain how security cameras work. B. To describe neighborhood relationships. C. To warn people to keep their houses safe. D. To show the bravery of unknown heroes. C In the past, the Tala Desert in Qinghai was described by the saying,“When the wind blows, stones roll and no grass grows.” Covering more than 600 square kilometers,98.5% of this empty land has turned into desert. Almost nothing could live there. Yet, because it receives plenty of sunlight, this“lifeless place” was chosen as the site for one of China's biggest solar power stations. In 2012, the first sets of solar panels (太阳能板) were set up. They were only meant to collect sunlight to produce electricity, but something unexpected happened for the environment. The panels worked like large sunshades. They reduced direct sunlight, slowed down wind erosion (侵蚀), and helped the soil keep its moisture. In just a few years, plant coverage increased from less than 2% to 80%. However, new problems soon arose. The rapidly growing grass started to block sunlight from reaching the panels. This reduced electricity production and raised the risk of fires. Using chemical weed killers damaged the weak ecosystem, and asking people to cut the grass cost millions of yuan every year. Then, a local herder (牧民) half-jokingly suggested,“Why not let sheep eat the grass?” In 2016,600 Tibetan sheep officially“started working.” They ate the grass under the panels, keeping it short and improving the soil with their waste. In return, the sheep grew healthier. The herders voluntarily joined the project and even formed a small group to take turns managing the areas, making sure the grass and sheep stay in balance. This created a lasting system of“solar power above, sheep below.” The power station saved on cleaning costs, herders-made more money, and the land became healthier. Today, the Tala Desert now supplies over 100 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually and the number of sheep has increased to over 20,000, creating millions of yuan in value every year. The tale of the“photovoltaic sheep”(光伏羊) shows that when humans cooperate with nature instead of fighting it, even the toughest desert can glow with the hope of sustainable development (可持续发展). 53. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the problem in the desert. B. To explain how solar energy works. C. To show the view of the Tala Desert. D. To provide the background for the solar project. 54. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. The fast-growing grass helped increase electricity production. B. A local scientist first thought of letting sheep eat the grass. C. Asking people to cut grass cost a great deal of money. D. Using chemical weed killers was useful and helpful. 55. What are the achievements of the whole project? ①It produces tons of clean electricity. ②It stopped the wind from blowing in the desert. ③It greatly improved the local environment. ④It helps the local herders to raise sheep. A. ①②④ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D ①②③ 56. What can we infer from the text? A. Local herders supported the project and took part in it actively. B. The project will be widely used in all deserts around China. C. The main goal of the solar power station was to improve the environment. D. The success of the"photovoltaic sheep"project only happened by chance. D Like stopping at a gas station during a road trip, whale sharks use oil and gas platforms(平台) as a short rest stop during their迁徙 of thousands of kilometers across the oceans. The human-made structures attract sea life—including the sharks' favorite snack: plankton(浮游生物). But experts worry that this attraction could put the endangered giant creatures at risk of ship strike or chemical pollution. Satellite tracking of whale sharks off the coast of western Australia shows how oil and gas platforms influence the movements of these gentle giants, ocean ecologist Ben D' Antonio, of the Australian Institute of Marine Science and University of Western Australia, and colleagues reported on January 18. “Think of underwater landforms(地貌) like a truck stop on a highway,” D' Antonio says.“On a family vacation, we often pull into truck stops to fill up the car and grab a quick meal before heading to our final place. Whale sharks seem to be using underwater landforms in a similar way." Over 14 years, the researchers tagged 78 whale sharks, tracked their movements and cross-checked the location of landform characteristics to see how these change the sharks' routes. While natural canyons and seamounts also act as brief stops, this attraction towards oil platforms—possibly enhanced by plankton's attraction to the platforms' rays of light—could put the huge animals at risk of being hit by a ship or pollution from oil spills or waste. It's impossible to know exactly how many are being killed by ships because their bodies sink without a sign. The researchers hope this finding will help decision makers managing ocean protected areas and raise awareness of the possible effect on sea life when human-made platforms are disused or new structures are built."This will become more important as we would add additional structure to many coastal areas,"D' Antonio says. 57. Why do whale sharks use oil and gas platforms as a short rest stop? A. To enjoy the beautiful lights on the platforms. B. To attract other sea life. C. To get food attracted by the platforms. D. To stay away from the satellites that track them. 58. What risk can whale sharks meet when they get to the oil and gas platforms? A. Crashing against ships. B. Missing their food. C. Being hunted by people. D. Being studied by tourists. 59. What of the following words has the same meaning as the underlined word sink? A. swim away B. break into pieces C. stay on the surface D. go down 60. What role do the researchers hope this finding will play? A. Help coastal cities make more money. B. Make the gas platforms safer and bigger. C. Help decision makers plan new buildings. D. Help countries use new kinds of energy. 五、信息还原（本大题有5小题，每小题2分，共计10分） Everybody knows that there are usually four seasons in a year.________61________ As our planet moves around the sun, the light from the sun falls on the earth from different directions. This helps create the seasons. At different times of year, there is more sunlight in some places and less sunlight in others. More sunlight means longer days and warmer weather.________62________ It gets colder in autumn and winter because the days are shorter, and we get less light from the sun. The seasons fall at different times of year around the world. For example, China is to the north of the equator（赤道）. Here, we experience summer from June to August.________63________ In Australia, it is summer from December to February, and Australians have their spring when we have our autumn. ________64________ The hottest and the coldest parts of the world usually have only two seasons. It is hot in places close to the equator. These places are called the tropics（热带地区）. Instead of our four seasons, many parts of the tropics have a rainy season and a dry season.________65________ Around the North and South Poles, there are only two seasons, too: a very, very cold winter and a somewhat less cold summer. A. This is why we have spring and summer. B. But do you know the colors of the four seasons? C. People will never experience winter in these areas. D. But do you know how the four seasons are formed? E. Not all places in the world have four seasons like ours. F. To the south of the equator, June, July and August are winter months. G.

When he was young, he moved to Tsinghua Garden with his father. This place made him love science. In 1945, he went to the US to study. After he got his doctoral degree at the University of Chicago, he worked at Princeton's Institute for further study. Yang did three important things in science. In 1954, he and Mills made the “Yang-Mills gauge Theory”. At the age of 34, Yang and Li Zhengdao found something new about weak interactions. Later, they became the winners of the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics. In 1967, his“Yang-Baxter Equation” helped start a new area in physics. Although he lived abroad, Yang never forgot China. In 1971, he visited China as an overseas Chinese scientist and the development of China's atomic bombs (原子弹) deeply moved him. Back in the US, he helped nearly 100 Chinese students to make them get better education than before. Later, Yang came back to live in Tsinghua Garden. He tried his best to bring top talents like Yao Qizhi to China. Also he told his students to be an honest person in study. In 2015, he stopped being an American and joined the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 2025, this 103-year-old great scientist passed away. Today Yang Zhenning is considered to be a world-famous physicist. What a great person he is! People will always remember him. 91.
