Diving is exciting yet dangerous, which is why organisations like PADI offer training courses to ensure underwater safety. Most divers only complete the basic Open Water Diver training, but Mia’s ambitions soared (急升) higher. Inspired by her mother, who became an Open Water Diver in high school, Mia embarked on (开始从事) her diving journey at age 10, the minimum age requirement. Mia’s determination shone through as she earned her Open Water Diver certificate despite the challenging conditions of Rhode Island’s cold oceans. Mia formed a tight bond with her diving teachers, who were impressed with her energy and drive. “She sets her mind to something and she gets it done,” said Seamus Hastings, one of her instructors. Over the next two years, Mia kept working at it. PADI courses involve diving practice, but they often include more normal class work, too, including studying and tests. Mia took several other courses, where she learned different skills, including first aid, how to find her way underwater, and how to identify fish. Mia finished 78 dives — far exceeding the 50 required for Master Scuba Diver status. Her mother, serving as her diving partner, accompanied her on this journey. After travelling to Mexico for her first night dive, she quickly completed the necessary training for her Advanced Open Water Diver and Rescue Diver courses. The Rescue Diver course proved particularly challenging, demanding Mia to demonstrate her ability to rescue an injured diver after completing three severe dives in one day, including a deep dive to 58 feet. Mia says she feels proud to have become a Master Scuba Diver. But she doesn’t plan to stop there. She’s interested in getting more training as a diver. In the future, she hopes to become a marine biologist. She’s particularly interested in tagging and tracking sharks! 4. Why did Mia DaPonte start her diving journey at the age of 10? A. She wanted to set a new world record. B. Her mother’s experience as a young diver influenced her. C. Diving was part of her school’s curriculum. D. She had always been crazy about marine life. 5. What does Seamus Hastings think of Mia DaPonte? A. Sincere. B. Curious. C. Determined. D. Influential. 6. What can be inferred about Mia DaPonte from her experience with the PADI courses? A. She found normal classroom work challenging. B. She considered PADI courses unsuitable for her. C. She preferred diving alone to diving with others. D. She showed exceptional passion and commitment. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Mia DaPonte’s Journey to Becoming a Master Scuba Diver B. Different Levels of PADI Certification and Their Requirements C. Various Challenges and Dangers Associated With Scuba Diving D. Motivations Behind Mia’s Decision to Become a Marine Biologist 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Mia DaPonte从小受母亲影响立志成为潜水员，在达到年龄要求后克服困难完成潜水课程，最终成为潜水大师的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Inspired by her mother, who became an Open Water Diver in high school, Mia embarked on (开始从事) her diving journey at age 10, the minimum age requirement. (受到她母亲的启发（她母亲在高中时就成为了“开放水域潜水员”），Mia在 10 岁时（这是最低年龄要求）就开始了她的潜水之旅。)”可知，Mia在10岁时开始潜水之旅是受到母亲年少时经历的影响，故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““She sets her mind to something and she gets it done,” said Seamus Hastings, one of her instructors. (“她一旦下定决心去做某件事，就会把它完成，”她的教练Seamus Hastings说道。)”可知，Seamus Hastings认为Mia很有决心，故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Over the next two years, Mia kept working at it. PADI courses involve diving practice, but they often include more normal class work, too, including studying and tests. Mia took several other courses, where she learned different skills, including first aid, how to find her way underwater, and how to identify fish. Mia finished 78 dives — far exceeding the 50 required for Master Scuba Diver status. (在接下来的两年里，Mia一直在努力。PADI的课程包括潜水练习，但通常也包含更多的常规课程内容，包括学习和测试。Mia还参加了其他几门课程，在这些课程中她学习了各种技能，包括急救知识、如何在水下辨别方向以及如何识别鱼类。Mia完成了78次潜水——远远超过了成为高级水肺潜水员所需的50次。)”可知，PADI的课程仅要求50次潜水，Mia完成了78次，还主动学习额外技能、克服高难度课程，可见她对潜水充满热情且投入，故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“It took two years of training and effort, but in February, 12-year-old Mia DaPonte achieved the extraordinary feat (壮举) of becoming a Master Scuba Diver, making her the youngest female in the US to ever reach this advanced level. (经过两年的训练和努力，12岁的Mia DaPonte在2月实现了非凡的壮举——成为了一名高级水肺潜水员，使她成为美国年龄最小达到这一高级水平的女性。)”可知，文章主要讲述了Mia DaPonte从小受母亲影响立志成为潜水员，在达到年龄要求后克服困难完成潜水课程，最终成为潜水大师的故事，A项“Mia DaPonte成为专业潜水员的历程”为最佳标题，故选A。 C Every year, Arctic terns migrate (迁徙) from the Arctic to the Antarctic- a round trip of about 80，000 kilometers. New research finds that these far-flying birds use just a few select routes for their travels. “The Arctic tern is well-known to people as a record holder. It holds the world record for the longest migration of any animal, and therefore interacts with a variety of ecosystems along the way,” lead author Joanna Wong says. “They are an indicator species that can tell us so much about the different ecosystems that they travel through,” Wong continues.“ If they don’t make it to their destination in one year, then you know there might be an environmental problem somewhere along their route. ” Globally, Arctic terns are reducing. Their crossing such a long distance has made it hard for researchers to see where the problem is. “These birds are difficult to study because they are either living in polar environments, or on the go,” Wong says. So in order to track them, Wong and her colleagues attached light-level geolocators to the legs of 53 Arctic terns. These geolocators are actually small computers that record surrounding light intensities (强度). “ The length of daylight can tell us the latitude (纬度)，while the time of solar noon can tell us the longitude. So we are able to judge positions of the birds,” Wong says. Researchers compared the routes taken by the birds they followed and the migration timing to other Arctic terns that had previously been tracked. They determined terns in different areas all end up taking similar routes. Some other seabirds also use the same paths, which suggests that the routes aren’t specific just to the Arctic terns and that protecting them may be beneficial to other species. 8. What are Arctic terns famous for according to the text? A. Their long-distance migration. B. Their influence on other species. C. Their contribution to different ecosystems. D. Their ability to survive in polar climates. 9. What does Joanna Wong say about Arctic terns? A. They prefer to travel individually. B. They may cause environmental problems. C. They change their final destinations D. They help us learn about ecosystems along their route 10. Why is it difficult for researchers to study Arctic terns? A. They can’t find Arctic terns’ habitats. B. They can hardly get access to Arctic terns. C. They know very little about Arctic terns’ migration routes. D. They live in different areas all over the world. 11. Where is this text most likely from? A. A novel. B. A guidebook. C. A scientific journal. D. A health magazine. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了北极燕鸥迁徙路线对人类了解沿途的环境问题很有帮助，文章呼吁人们保护北极燕鸥的迁徙路线，因为这样做对其它的鸟类也有益。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““The Arctic tern is well-known to people as a record holder. It holds the world record for the longest migration of any animal, and therefore interacts with a variety of ecosystems along the way,” lead author Joanna Wong says.(“北极燕鸥是众所周知的记录保持者。它保持着在任何动物迁徙时间中最长的世界纪录，因此一路上与各种生态系统相互作用，”主要作者乔安娜·王说。)”可知，北极燕鸥以它们远距离旅行者的头衔而著名。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““They are an indicator species that can tell us so much about the different ecosystems that they travel through,” Wong continues.“ If they don’t make it to their destination in one year, then you know there might be an environmental problem somewhere along their route. ”(“它们是一种指示物种，可以告诉我们很多关于它们所经过的不同生态系统的信息，”Wong继续说。“如果它们在一年内没有到达目的地，那么你就知道它们沿途的某个地方可能存在环境问题。”)”可知，乔安娜·王认为北极燕鸥帮助我们了解沿途的生态系统。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““These birds are difficult to study because they are either living in polar environments, or on the go,” Wong says. (“这些鸟很难研究，因为他们要么生活在极地环境中，要么在前进中。”王说。)”可知，研究人员很难研究北极燕鸥是因为他们很难接近北极燕鸥。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文可知，文章介绍了北极燕鸥的迁徙路线对人类了解沿途的环境问题很有帮助，文章呼吁人们保护北极燕鸥的迁徙路线，因为这样做对其它的鸟类也有益。文章属于科学研究，从而推断，文章选自科学杂志。故选C。 D “A moth (飞蛾) to a flame” is often used to indicate an inescapable attraction, yet it is a strange example of animal behavior that continues to confuse people today. Scientists have raised a number of theories over the years to explain why. One holds that insects flying at night are following their nature to fly towards the brightest spot in their field of vision, which they mistake for the sky. Another suggests that insects are trying to warm themselves with the heat produced by the light. The most popular theory, though, is that insects are confusing lights with the moon or other celestial bodies (天体) that they normally use to navigate. To find out the real reason, a team carried out a first set of experiments in an insect flight area. The researchers used eight high-speed infrared (红外线的) cameras equipped with motion capture technologies to track 30 insects from three moth and two dragonfly species. They also flew lab-raised insects from six different insect orders that were too small for motion-capture technology, including fruit flies and honeybees, to verify that insects across species exhibited similar responses to artificial light. Working with co-author Pablo Allen of the Council on International Educational Exchange in Monteverde, Costa Rica, the researchers put heavy cameras, lights and tripods in two field sites to gather behavioral data from insects in the wild. The team was able to confirm that insects were not beelining to the light but rather circling it as they tilted (倾斜) in an attempt to turn their backs towards it. This behavior, known as a” dorsal light response”, typically helps insects maintain a steady flight path aligned with the horizon. Artificial light that arrives from a point source causes them to fly in unpredictable patterns as they try to turn their backs to what they are mistaking for the sky. Now research might have finally solved the mystery mentioned at the beginning: artificial light confuses insects’ ability to turn themselves to the horizon, confusing their sense of what is up and down and causing them to fly in circles. 12. Which theory about “a moth to a flame” is most widely accepted? A. They follow their nature to fly toward light. B. They are blind to artificial light. C. They mistake artificial light for celestial bodies. D. They are attracted by the warmth of artificial light. 13. What’s the author’s purpose in using the figures in Paragraph 2? A. To show the comprehensiveness of the study. B. To introduce the purpose of the study. C. To estimate the cost of the research. D. To stress the challenge the researchers faced. 14. What does the underlined word “beelining” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Flying slowly. B. Staying close. C. Reacting quickly. D. Heading straight. 15. What could be a suitable title for the text? A. What Role of Light in Insect navigation Is B. The Flying Patterns of Insects C. The Heat-Seeking Behavior of Moths D. Why Insects Are Attracted to Artificial Light 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家通过一系列实验，探究并解开了“飞蛾扑火”这一现象的奥秘，解释了昆虫被人造光吸引并绕光飞行的真正原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“ The most popular theory, though, is that insects are confusing lights with the moon or other celestial bodies (天体) that they normally use to navigate.(不过，最受欢迎的理论是，昆虫会将灯光与它们通常用来导航的月亮或其他天体混淆)”可知，关于“飞蛾扑火”最被广泛接受的理论是昆虫把人造光误认为是天体。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“To find out the real reason, a team carried out a first set of experiments in an insect flight area. The researchers used eight high-speed infrared (红外线的) cameras equipped with motion capture technologies to track 30 insects from three moth and two dragonfly species. They also flew lab-raised insects from six different insect orders that were too small for motion-capture technology, including fruit flies and honeybees, to verify that insects across species exhibited similar responses to artificial light. Working with co-author Pablo Allen of the Council on International Educational Exchange in Monteverde, Costa Rica, the researchers put heavy cameras, lights and tripods in two field sites to gather behavioral data from insects in the wild.(为了找出真正的原因，一个研究团队在昆虫飞行区域开展了首轮实验。研究人员使用八台配备了动作捕捉技术的高速红外摄像机，对来自三个飞蛾品种和两个蜻蜓品种的30只昆虫进行追踪观测。他们还对六个不同目、体型过小无法使用动作捕捉技术的实验室饲养昆虫，包括果蝇和蜜蜂，进行了飞行观测，以验证不同种类的昆虫对人造光会表现出相似的反应。研究人员与哥斯达黎加蒙特维德的国际教育交流协会合著者巴勃罗·艾伦合作，在两个野外研究点架设了重型摄像机、照明设备和三脚架，收集野生昆虫的行为数据)”可知，研究中使用的设备数量多、研究的昆虫种类丰富、实验场地多样，这些数据的使用是为了体现这项研究的全面性。故选A。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The team was able to confirm that insects were not beelining to the light but rather circling it as they tilted (倾斜) in an attempt to turn their backs towards it.(研究小组能够证实，昆虫并没有beelining光，而是在倾斜时绕着光转，试图背对光)”可推断，not...but rather...表示转折含义，beelining与circling it(绕着飞)含义相对，具有“径直前往、直奔”之意。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Now research might have finally solved the mystery mentioned at the beginning: artificial light confuses insects’ ability to turn themselves to the horizon, confusing their sense of what is up and down and causing them to fly in circles.(如今，这项研究或许终于解开了开篇提及的谜团：人造光会干扰昆虫调整自身朝向地平线的能力，扰乱它们对上下方位的感知，进而导致其绕圈飞行)”以及文章内容可知，这项研究解答了全文的核心问题：昆虫为何会被人造光吸引并绕光飞行，所以“为什么昆虫会被人造光吸引”适合作为文章标题。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。 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance We all want it… to accept and love ourselves.

Stephen, a 14-year-old boy was wandering alone on the street on a breezy night. He recalled the incident that made him argue with his mother and he moved out of the house like a storm. His eyes were filled with tears. He had a quarrel with his mother from morning. His mom asked about his low grades in the recent exam. Stephen didn’t care too much about his carelessness and did not reply to her well. She scolded (责备) him again in the evening for being so careless. He quarreled with his mother. The quarrel ended up so badly that Stephen left his home. He walked for more than hours. He smelled a nice flavor from a shop and was attracted by the sweet smell. He couldn’t resist the smell of that nice flavor and he felt very hungry. It was a small noodles shop and he stopped by the shop. Suddenly he realized there was not even a single penny in his pocket. Tired and hungry, he stood there for a minute but decided to leave. The shop owner saw him and asked him to have some food. Stephen said he had no money to pay for the food. The shop owner smiled, saying, “It’s OK. I won’t ask you any money.” The shop owner prepared a hot bowl of sweet and delicious noodles. Stephen ate the noodles, feeling that he owed something to the shop owner. He promised to return his favor. Stephen was in tears when he ate the noodles. The shop owner asked what happened to him. Stephen told him about the incident and the quarrel with his mother and he felt that his mother did not understand him. 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。 Hearing this, the shop owner smiled and approached Stephen. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Stephen realized his mistake and thanked the shop owner. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Hearing this, the shop owner smiled and approached Stephen. He patted the boy’s shoulder and said, “Hey, young guy, think about how much your mom loves you.” Stephen thought of the moment when he was a little kid. In fact, his mother carried him in her arms. She cooked the delicious food for him. She played games with him. He also remembered that when he failed in the exam, she comforted him with all her heart and kept him company over the night. She was there for him whenever he needed her. Stephen realized his mistake and thanked the shop owner: He rushed home in a hurry. He saw his mother standing at the door with tears in her eyes. Seeing his coming, his mother stepped forward, saying, “You must be hungry! I have cooked the meal you like best. Come and have it now.” He hugged his mother tightly, streaming with tears and said. “I am terribly sorry, Mom. I am wrong and I will never quarrel with you again. I love you.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了斯蒂芬和母亲发生了争吵，离开家来到商店，店主给了他吃的没有收钱，斯蒂芬十分感动，告知了自己和母亲吵架的事情。店主开导斯蒂芬，斯蒂芬也意识到自己的错误，回家和母亲和好了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“听到这话，店主微笑着走近斯蒂芬”可知，第一段可描写店主开导斯蒂芬。 ②由第二段首句内容“斯蒂芬意识到自己的错误，并向店主道谢，然后匆匆赶回家”可知，第二段可描写斯蒂芬回家和母亲道歉，两人和好。 2.续写线索：店主开导——斯蒂芬回忆——斯蒂芬意识到错误——斯蒂芬回家——斯蒂芬道歉——两人和好 3.词汇激活 行为类 陪伴：keep sb. company/accompany 争吵：quarrel with /argue with 拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 喜爱：love/adore 安慰：comfort/ console 【点睛】[高分句型1] He also remembered that when he failed in the exam, she comforted him with all her heart and kept him company over the night.

B It took two years of training and effort, but in February, 12-year-old Mia DaPonte achieved the extraordinary feat (壮举) of becoming a Master Scuba Diver, making her the youngest female in the US to ever reach this advanced level. Diving is exciting yet dangerous, which is why organisations like PADI offer training courses to ensure underwater safety. Most divers only complete the basic Open Water Diver training, but Mia’s ambitions soared (急升) higher. Inspired by her mother, who became an Open Water Diver in high school, Mia embarked on (开始从事) her diving journey at age 10, the minimum age requirement. Mia’s determination shone through as she earned her Open Water Diver certificate despite the challenging conditions of Rhode Island’s cold oceans. Mia formed a tight bond with her diving teachers, who were impressed with her energy and drive. “She sets her mind to something and she gets it done,” said Seamus Hastings, one of her instructors. Over the next two years, Mia kept working at it. PADI courses involve diving practice, but they often include more normal class work, too, including studying and tests. Mia took several other courses, where she learned different skills, including first aid, how to find her way underwater, and how to identify fish. Mia finished 78 dives — far exceeding the 50 required for Master Scuba Diver status. Her mother, serving as her diving partner, accompanied her on this journey. After travelling to Mexico for her first night dive, she quickly completed the necessary training for her Advanced Open Water Diver and Rescue Diver courses. The Rescue Diver course proved particularly challenging, demanding Mia to demonstrate her ability to rescue an injured diver after completing three severe dives in one day, including a deep dive to 58 feet. Mia says she feels proud to have become a Master Scuba Diver. But she doesn’t plan to stop there. She’s interested in getting more training as a diver. In the future, she hopes to become a marine biologist. She’s particularly interested in tagging and tracking sharks! 4. Why did Mia DaPonte start her diving journey at the age of 10? A She wanted to set a new world record. B. Her mother’s experience as a young diver influenced her. C. Diving was part of her school’s curriculum. D. She had always been crazy about marine life. 5. What does Seamus Hastings think of Mia DaPonte? A. Sincere. B. Curious. C. Determined. D. Influential. 6. What can be inferred about Mia DaPonte from her experience with the PADI courses? A. She found normal classroom work challenging. B. She considered PADI courses unsuitable for her. C. She preferred diving alone to diving with others. D. She showed exceptional passion and commitment. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Mia DaPonte’s Journey to Becoming a Master Scuba Diver B. Different Levels of PADI Certification and Their Requirements C. Various Challenges and Dangers Associated With Scuba Diving D. Motivations Behind Mia’s Decision to Become a Marine Biologist C Every year, Arctic terns migrate (迁徙) from the Arctic to the Antarctic- a round trip of about 80，000 kilometers. New research finds that these far-flying birds use just a few select routes for their travels. “The Arctic tern is well-known to people as a record holder. It holds the world record for the longest migration of any animal, and therefore interacts with a variety of ecosystems along the way,” lead author Joanna Wong says. “They are an indicator species that can tell us so much about the different ecosystems that they travel through,” Wong continues.“ If they don’t make it to their destination in one year, then you know there might be an environmental problem somewhere along their route. ” Globally, Arctic terns are reducing. Their crossing such a long distance has made it hard for researchers to see where the problem is. “These birds are difficult to study because they are either living in polar environments, or on the go,” Wong says. So in order to track them, Wong and her colleagues attached light-level geolocators to the legs of 53 Arctic terns. These geolocators are actually small computers that record surrounding light intensities (强度). “ The length of daylight can tell us the latitude (纬度)，while the time of solar noon can tell us the longitude. So we are able to judge positions of the birds,” Wong says. Researchers compared the routes taken by the birds they followed and the migration timing to other Arctic terns that had previously been tracked. They determined terns in different areas all end up taking similar routes. Some other seabirds also use the same paths, which suggests that the routes aren’t specific just to the Arctic terns and that protecting them may be beneficial to other species. 8. What are Arctic terns famous for according to the text? A. Their long-distance migration. B. Their influence on other species. C. Their contribution to different ecosystems. D. Their ability to survive in polar climates. 9. What does Joanna Wong say about Arctic terns? A. They prefer to travel individually. B. They may cause environmental problems. C. They change their final destinations D. They help us learn about ecosystems along their route 10. Why is it difficult for researchers to study Arctic terns? A. They can’t find Arctic terns’ habitats. B. They can hardly get access to Arctic terns. C. They know very little about Arctic terns’ migration routes. D. They live in different areas all over the world. 11. Where is this text most likely from? A. A novel. B. A guidebook. C. A scientific journal. D. A health magazine. D “A moth (飞蛾) to a flame” is often used to indicate an inescapable attraction, yet it is a strange example of animal behavior that continues to confuse people today. Scientists have raised a number of theories over the years to explain why. One holds that insects flying at night are following their nature to fly towards the brightest spot in their field of vision, which they mistake for the sky. Another suggests that insects are trying to warm themselves with the heat produced by the light. The most popular theory, though, is that insects are confusing lights with the moon or other celestial bodies (天体) that they normally use to navigate. To find out the real reason, a team carried out a first set of experiments in an insect flight area. The researchers used eight high-speed infrared (红外线的) cameras equipped with motion capture technologies to track 30 insects from three moth and two dragonfly species. They also flew lab-raised insects from six different insect orders that were too small for motion-capture technology, including fruit flies and honeybees, to verify that insects across species exhibited similar responses to artificial light. Working with co-author Pablo Allen of the Council on International Educational Exchange in Monteverde, Costa Rica, the researchers put heavy cameras, lights and tripods in two field sites to gather behavioral data from insects in the wild. The team was able to confirm that insects were not beelining to the light but rather circling it as they tilted (倾斜) in an attempt to turn their backs towards it. This behavior, known as a” dorsal light response”, typically helps insects maintain a steady flight path aligned with the horizon. Artificial light that arrives from a point source causes them to fly in unpredictable patterns as they try to turn their backs to what they are mistaking for the sky. Now research might have finally solved the mystery mentioned at the beginning: artificial light confuses insects’ ability to turn themselves to the horizon, confusing their sense of what is up and down and causing them to fly in circles. 12. Which theory about “a moth to a flame” is most widely accepted? A. They follow their nature to fly toward light. B. They are blind to artificial light. C. They mistake artificial light for celestial bodies. D. They are attracted by the warmth of artificial light. 13. What’s the author’s purpose in using the figures in Paragraph 2? A. To show the comprehensiveness of the study. B. To introduce the purpose of the study. C. To estimate the cost of the research. D. To stress the challenge the researchers faced. 14. What does the underlined word “beelining” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Flying slowly. B. Staying close. C. Reacting quickly. D. Heading straight. 15. What could be a suitable title for the text?
