Farmers can adjust their practices to a warmer climate in four key ways: Farmers can change WHAT they plant. Farmers can change WHERE crops are This could be an entirely different type of planted.If temperatures rise in fall,crop crop:corn instead of wheat.Or a different production can shift north or southwards variety ofa specific crop. FOUR towards more suitable temperatures. Farmers can change HOW crops are KEY Farmers can change WHEN they plant. managed.Giving crops the right amount of WAYS Farmers can plant earlier or later in the water,nutrition,and protection from insects year,depending on when spring arrives. and disease can help reduce some impacts of Adjusting planting dates requires no climate change. additional cost or work. A recent study by experts modeled three adaptation methods-changing WHAT,changing WHEN and changing both of them.The chart below shows their .impact on the output of corn,rice, sorghum,soybean(大豆)and wheat. 第2页共8页 Changing both WHAT Com Rice Sorgbum Soybean Wheat and WHEN 12% 17% 班3型 Changing WHAT oaly Changing WHEN oaly These three adaptation methods can already go some way to relieve climate pressures in some countries.But,of course,we don't only care about crop production at the global level. If farmers in particular regions-especially those that are most food-insecure 一 cannot adapt to climate change,this is still a major problem.So there is more we can do in the future. 21.What should farmers change ifthey are short ofmoney and labour? A.WHAT. B.WHERE. C.HOW. D.WHEN. 22.Which crop may benefit most if farmers plant improved varieties? A.Rice. B.Corn. C.Sorghum. D.Wheat. 23.What should be done in the future?

B On Dec.26,Gelinne was having a cup of coffee at home,gazing out at frozen Beards River. Suddenly,his daughter cried "Look!"Gelinne looked upjust in time to see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away,coming down. As the plane disappeared behind the trees,Gelinne,a former sailor,realized it would land in the river.Without hesitation,he ran down to the waterfront.The plane had slid to a stop on the broad,frozen river,far from shore,sinking.The pilot was standing on the wing.Gelinne knew from his previous training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it.So he and his son, John,pulled two kayaks(皮划艇)out.“Ifit can float on the water,.it can slide on the ice,”Gelinne said. The kayaks'paddles (proved too weak,so the pair tried using sticks to push the boats along. Their first attempts left them spinning in circles.But with effort,they made progress.When Gelinne reached the plane,the pilot was standing on a tail wing,surrounded by open water.Gelinne pushed his kayak offthe ice and into the water,paddling toward the pilot and thinking,"What ifhe panics?What ifI fall over??” With his son nearby,Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm,joking,"Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife."The pilot grabbed the kayak's bow.Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot onto the shelf of unbroken ice.But each time Gelinne tried,the kayak broke through the ice.He needed help. Soon a police officer arrived and radioed for help.A boat from the local Department of Natural Resources appeared.It picked up the pilot,Steve 71,and rushed him to safety,who would be treated for minor injuries.Later the boat returned to help Gelinne,exhausted,to shore.The boat had arrivedjust in time,Gelinne recalled."I'm 60 years old,"he says."There was no way I could get him to shore."Still,he was satisfied. 24.What was Gelinne's first reaction to the air crash? A.Hesitant. B.Concerned. C.Scared. D.Surprised. 25.What can be learned from paragraph 4? A..The plane had sunk to the bottom. B.The pilot was nearly frozen to death. 第3页共8页 C.The kayaks got stuck in floating ice. D.The rescue was tougher than expected. 26.Why did Gelinne need help? A.Because his son didn't help him. B.Because the kayaks were broken. C.Because the ice wasn't solid enough D.Because the pilot was too exhausted. 27.Which of the following can best describe Gelinne? A.Honest and independent. B.Modest and intelligent. C.Helpful and humorous. D.Generous and cautious. C When Kari Leibowitz first arrived in the Norwegian city of Tromso,she was both attracted by and fearful ofthe approaching winter.Two hundred miles north ofthe Arctic Circle,the city does not see the sun from mid-November to mid-January,as opposed to Stanford,California,where she had been studying before travelling to Norway. In many countries,the short days ofwinter are thought to cause low mood,yet Tromse's residents do not show the similar wintertime depression.As a psychologist,Leibowitz was curious about the ways they lived with the long "polar night" Previous research shows that people who see stressful events as "challenges",with an opportunity to learn and adapt,tend to cope much better than those who focus more on the threatening aspects-like the possibility of failure or embarrassment.To test whether a different outlook could also explain the resilience(适应力)of Tromse's residents,.Leibowitz designed the“wintertime mindset scale”,asking participants to rate how much they agreed or disagreed with statements about winter such as "I love the coziness of winter..”and“Winter is boring.” She found that participants answers predicted their well-being over the coming months:the more they saw the winter as an exciting opportunity to enjoy an icy climate,the higher levels ofoverall mental health they have.Besides,Leibowitz found that these attitudes actually increase with latitude()-the positive mindset is most common where it's most needed. Indeed,many ofLeibowitz's friends embraced the possibility of skiing in the mountains,or having a warm drink in the candlelight."There is this interaction between the culture you're part of and the mindset growing out of it,"says Joar Vitterse,Leibowitz's colleague at the Arctic University of Tromse Soon,Leibowitz found her own mindset shifting:she learned to love long walks with a headlamp guiding her path,and came to appreciate the "soft,peaceful"appearance of the city in the darkness. "Most people just hate the winter and feel like there's nothing they can do about it.But once you put it in people's heads that they have control over their mindset,that's when something powerful happens,"says Leibowitz. 28.What do we know about the residents of Tromse? A.They are longing for the coming winter. B.They see winter as an opportunity to work out. C.They are likely to become depressed in winter. D.They are seldom influenced by winter stress. 29.Why did Leibowitz carry out her research? A.To prove wintertime depression as a challenge. B.To suggest the ways to deal with the hard winter. C.To find out whether the previous theory applies to Tromse. D.To help the local inhabitants get through the long polar night. 第4页共8页 30.What can we conclude from Leibowitz's findings? A.A positive mindset may indicate a high life satisfaction in winter. B.Winter offers people a better opportunity to interact with friends. C.People in high latitude are less optimistic when facing long dark nights. D.Tromso's residents are negatively influenced by the environment. 31.Which ofthe following will Leibowitz most probably agree with? A.People hate winter because they can do nothing. B.Long walks help to change people's mindset. C.Awareness of control over mindset makes a difference. D.It's of great fun to ski in the winter mountains. D A form of gene therapy that is already being trialled in patients with Parkinson's disease might provide a treatment for severe alcohol addiction. Alcohol abuse is the biggest risk factor for death,disability and ill health among people aged 15 to 49 in the UK,responsible for 9,641 deaths during 2021.Like other addictive substances,alcohol triggers the release of a feelgood chemical in the brain called dopamine().However,long-term drinking decreases dopamine release,and people who are addicted to alcohol don't tend to feel pleasure in drinking it any more."It seems that they're drinking more because they feel a need to maintain a drunk state,"said Prof Kathleen Grant at Oregon Health and Science University. The idea ofthe gene therapy was to try to reset this dopamine reward pathway by enhancing the function ofbrain cells that synthesize dopamine.Like humans,some macaque monkeys are more likely to drink heavily than others:if you begin to offer them the choice of 5%alcohol alongside their regular food and water,some monkeys will eventually almost always choose the alcohol.Grant and her colleagues wondered whether resetting their dopamine reward pathways might contain their desire to drink alcohol.To do this,they used a harmless virus to deliver the gene for a protein called glial- derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)to an area ofthe brain that is involved in addiction and reward. "We targeted the cell bodies that produce dopamine with this gene to increase dopamine synthesis, thus supplementing or restoring what long-term drinking has taken away,"Grant said. The research,which was published in Nature Medicine,found that the macaques permanently started overexpressing dopamine and decreased their alcohol consumption by up to 90%."We are entering an era of gene therapy for neurological disorders and perhaps mental disorders,and I think this study is very promising in that direction."Grant said. She added that animal studies are needed before the technique could be tested on humans.Also, because the gene therapy procedure involves brain surgery,it would probably only ever be used in the most severe cases of alcohol addiction. 32.Why do severe alcohol addicts drink more? A.Because they long for desired pleasure. B.Because they have a form of gene defect. C.Because they want to escape from reality. D.Because they suffer from deadly disability. 33.The underlined word"synthesize"in paragraph 3 can best be replaced by A.Stimulate.B.Produce. C.Charge. D.Delay. 34.What did Grant's study focus on? A.The life habit of macaque monkeys. B.The way to control alcohol addiction. C.The working mechanism of dopamine. D.The function ofthe protein called GDNF. 35.What did Grant suggest about the gene therapy? A.Employ it to treat severe alcohol addiction only. 第5页共8页 B.Replace it with more efficient methods if necessary. C.Confirm its effectiveness with more tests on humans. D.Put it into widespread use on other common species. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 Growing up in a Southern family,big meals were the norm.Every meal for my nuclear family of four provided enough food for eight.Each Sunday,when we drove to my grandmother's home for lunch, there was more than enough food.36 Having more than enough was a generous and affectionate act;having too little conveyed almost a moral failing. 37 When having only another couple over for dinner,I'd make more food than the four of us could finish.My wife always asked me to make less both to save money and because our tiny fridge could hold only so many leftovers.38 When I lost myjob,though,my handling ofextra food suddenly hit a barrier.39 However,I then quickly went back to my former state of needing to cook much when I landed another job. But instead ofcooking a lot and then simply eating the leftovers,I had a new solution that worked well with my belief in showing love through food:40 。 Several ofmy friends lived alone,didn't like cooking or had lost jobs too,so bringing them food helped not only me but also them in a practical way. Such a small act can bring large amounts ofjoy to anyone in these hard times.And in unfavorable situations,it's an act that allows us to develop friendship and show love while we must,still,remain apart. A.Continue cooking for my family. B.Bringing the extras as meals to my friends. C.It was the one part ofour new world I couldn't refuse. D.In the shock ofthe change,I cooked less for about a year. E.In my adult life before unemployment,this tradition stayed with me. F.Serving extra food was the way that we showed love to one another. G.But doing so seemed contrary to the generosity I had been brought up to believe in. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30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。 Grace is an average young girl in the class.But she has a deep love for writing.She would spend countless hours 41 stories and poems in her notebook,lost in the world of her 42 However,Grace's parents had different plans for her.They believed that a career in writing was uncertain and 43 her to pursue a more 44 profession.Unwillingly,Grace started studying business in college,but her 45 for writing actually never changed.

Lily followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway.Others walked in groups,chatted,and laughed, using the break to socialize.Lily,instead,walked alone along the wall ofthe hallway,with her head down. She was a shy girl,afraid to speak in front ofother kids,and didn't think others would like her.Lily finally sat in Mr.Johnson's Language Arts class nervously."Welcome to Language Arts,"said Mr.Johnson.He toldjokes as he talked about English.Lily forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We'll have some fun with language,”he said.“Just wait and see.” Fun was far beyond what Lily desired.She just wanted to be like other kids-running with friends in the hallway,laughing and joking between classes.Reminded ofher pimply (face,she felt hopeless and disappointed. "Take out a piece ofpaper,"the teacher continued,when pointing at words on the blackboard."Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic."Lily began writing crazily as idea after idea fought for recognition in her head.The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house.As she wrote,she could smell the salty air,hear the crashing waves and feel the pull ofthe sand beneath her feet.Forjust a moment,she forgot where she was.She was lost in the story. "OK,pass your papers forward,"said the teacher."Let's see what we have."For the rest of the class time,the teacher read each individual work aloud.Lily originally thought it would be awkward. However,she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher's voice."He's actually enjoying this,"she thought.When the class would be soon over,there were still fifteen students'papers not read, including Lily's paper.Then,Mr.Johnson announced his decision,asking these students to read their work themselves in front ofthe class next class. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A week later,the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again. After Lily finished her reading,the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time. 第8页共8页 答案 听力1～5 BCBAB 6～10 BACAC 11～15 BCACB 16～20 BACAA 21-23 DAB 24-27BDCC 28-31 DCAC 32-35 ABBA 36-40 FEGDB 41-45 A B C A D 46-50 B D A A C 51-55 B D B C D 56. the 57. measuring 58. composition 59. to catch 60. are hurrying 61. are 62. whose / where 63. what 64. to 65. valuable 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
