Littleton， New Hampshire 　　Its riverside village has a path along the water where visitors can appreciate the autumn leaves by the riverbanks.There’s also a Sunday farmers’ market and a number of antique （古玩） stores to look at.But the historic town’s biggest draw is what lies on its doorstep.To the southwest there’s White Mountain National Forest， a favourite for outdoor lovers.There are hiking trails and peaks with thick colorful forests in autumn. Bolton Landing， New York 　　On Lake George in northern New York state， Bolton Landing is a beautiful town with a charming main street.Autumn makes its surrounding Adirondack Mountains’ forests even more attractive.The Adirondack Balloon Festival is another highlight， during which travelers can watch the more than 70 hot air balloons go up at sunrise against the leafy skyline. La Conner， Washington 　　Since the 1940s， this place has been a gathering place for artists， with fiery red， orange， and yellow larch， poplar， and maple trees forming the town’s autumn colors， and has long been a source of inspiration for painters and writers.The restored historical buildings now house local restaurants， cafes， museums and galleries.You can walk around the town and admire a collection of local art organized by the La Conner Arts Commission each year. Greenville， Maine 　　Colors appear earlier in the far north and visitors heading for Greenville to experience autumn on Moosehead Lake should plan on taking their trip in September or the first week of October.The lake is considered one of the best places to bathe in autumn colors in Maine.Travelers can also hike to Moxie Falls， a waterfall surrounded by leaves， to admire autumn’s beauty. 21.Which place attracts hot air balloon lovers？（　　） A.Littleton， New Hampshire.　 B.Bolton Landing， New York. C.La Conner， Washington.　　 D.Greenville， Maine. 22.What can visitors do at Greenville？（　　） A.Hike to Moxie Falls. B.Go boating on Lake George. C.Buy produce from local farms. D.Have a walking tour in White Mountain National Forest. 23.What do the listed places have in common？（　　） A.They are favored by people enjoying fall leaves. B.They have many famous antique stores. C.They have exhibits of local artworks. D.They are in Britain. B 　　In the park， there are 9，485 of them.You sit on them.To rest.Read a book.Wait for a friend.Or it’s such a day when you have nothing to do， and this is a delicious place to accomplish absolutely nothing.Or you can drift off and muse on the plaque （纪念牌） attached there， representing a story behind the bench.The Central Park bench.You aren’t just sitting on wood.You are sitting on memories. 　　Caitlin LaMorte was the development manager for the Adopt-a-Bench program which began in 1986 as a way to finance the maintenance of the benches.If you can afford it， it’s simple enough.Pay $10，000 and you get to put a plaque on a bench， saying almost whatever you want， up to a suggested maximum of four lines of 30 characters each.And then it’s there forever.Up to now，4，223 of the benches have been adopted.While plenty of benches remain unadopted， some areas are sold out.For instance， all the benches facing the lake. 　　Benches can serve many purposes.Quite often， they’re adopted to remember a relative or friend.Or on occasion， a pet.Increasingly， Ms LaMorte said， “we have more plaques that are happy.” Graduations or birthdays or birth wishes or wedding gifts. 　　Last year， Karen May figured she would adopt a bench for her children.When her elder son， Theodore， proposed to his girlfriend， Lucinda， he wrote a brief children’s book for her called “Two Red Foxes”， because foxes were a recurring theme in her upbringing （as when a fox sped across the field when her father proposed to her mother）.The foxes were stand-ins for Ms May’s son and his bride-to-be.And there was the fact that her younger son， Thornwell， went by the nickname Pup.So there is a bench facing the lake that reads， “Two Red Foxes and a Pup.” People will sit there and not know what it means.But Ms May knows. 24.What is the Adopt-a-Bench program intended for？（　　） A.Raising funds for bench care.　 B.Placing more plaques on benches. C.Marketing the unadopted benches.　　 D.Attracting visitors to the central park. 25.What does the underlined word “stand-ins”in paragraph 4 probably mean？（　　） A.Relatives.　 B.Wishes. C.Symbols.　　 D.Gifts. 26.Why did Karen May adopt the bench？（　　） A.To remember two red foxes and a puppy.　 B.To secure a lakeside bench for family use. C.To promote her son’s newly published book.　D.To celebrate her children’s special moments. 27.Which of the following can be the best title for the text？（　　） A.Adopt-a-Bench Program　 B.Two Red Foxes and a Pup C.Benches With Stories to Tell　　 D.A Creative Gift in the Park C 　　Everyone knows this： Slowly turn up the heat on a frog in a pot of water， and the frog won’t hop out.Unaware of the slight increase in heat， it will stay until — well， until it dies.When it comes to the effect of rising global temperatures on amphibians （两栖动物）， the frog-boiling story is more than just a metaphor （隐喻）. 　　Climate change is becoming one of the biggest threats to frogs and other amphibians， according to a major study published Wednesday in the journal Nature.Between 2004 and 2022， rising temperatures became the main reason why more than 100 amphibian species were nearly dying out. 　　The spread of disease among frogs and the destruction of their habitats have long been recognized as reasons why many amphibians are decreasing.But this new study establishes climate change as a major risk for amphibians around the world， too.The soft-skinned animals lack the fur and feathers to help adjust （调节） their temperature in this hotter and drier world. 　　Less attention is paid to frogs and other amphibians compared to more well-known groups like birds.But losing amphibians would be serious because they often act as a key link in the food web of ecosystems， wolfing insects down and， in turn， being eaten by larger predators （捕食者）.“Without those amphibians to fill that role， we will see the breakdown of this food web，” said Neam， who works for an Austin-based environmental group. 　　Luckily， habitat protection and other measures have been taken to help recover more than five dozen amphibians from Costa Rica to Malaysia.“It’s not all bad news，” said Jennifer Luedtke， an amphibian group leader with the International Union for Conservation of Nature.“But we really must build on this improvement and significantly increase the amphibian conservation.” 28.How is the topic introduced？（　　） A.By sharing a story.　 B.By raising a question. C.By explaining ideas.　　 D.By listing facts. 29.What is the main reason for the decrease of amphibians according to the new study？（　　） A.The loss of habitats.　 B.The lack of feathers. C.The spread of disease.　　 D.The rise of temperature. 30.What will happen if the number of amphibians decreases？（　　） A.Wolves will depend more on insects.　 B.Predators will be the key role of the web. C.The ecosystem will become more diverse.　　 D.The food chain will be destroyed. 31.How does Luedtke feel about the future of amphibians？（　　） A.Uncertain.　 B.Curious. C.Hopeful.　　 D.Worried. D 　　Researchers have observed Florida carpenter ants biting off the injured legs of their companions. 　　These surgeries are the first known example of non-human animals performing amputations（截肢） to improve a fellow animal’s chances of recovering， the researchers say.“Not only can they do this， but they are even able to check the wounds and， depending on the location， adapt the treatment accordingly，” says Erik Frank， an ant researcher.The ants are territorial （有领土意识的） and might sustain injuries while defending their homes.So， the researchers wondered if the species had methods for dealing with infected wounds. 　　They discovered that when a worker ant injured its leg’s upper part， companions would perform amputations.These other ants would then spend about six minutes on average biting at the upper part until it came off.“I find it striking to what extent they take concerted （同心协力的） action in this amputation event，” Frank says.“You can see it presenting the injured leg， and the other ant， for many minutes at a time， is biting it violently and the injured ant doesn’t seem to complain.” 　　The researchers wondered if the amputations could serve to prevent infections.To test this， they wounded some ants’ legs.They isolated （隔离） some， ensuring they would receive no care， performed their own amputations on others and returned a third group to the colony.The experiments showed ants with upper-leg injuries that were isolated died about 60％ of the time， while ants that received surgeries， either from the researchers or from fellow ants， almost always lived.The experiments also confirmed the ants didn’t perform amputations for those with lower-leg injuries.But the others would lick （舔舐） the wounds.They had an approximately 75％ survival rate， compared to a 15％ survival rate for isolated ants with lower-leg injuries. 　　Florida carpenter ants have muscles responsible for blood circulation in their upper legs， so upper-leg injuries could reduce circulation.Lower circulation would， in turn， reduce the spread of infection， buying the ants time to perform amputations.The researchers found amputations for lower-leg wounds only improved survival chances if they were performed immediately.The ants don’t perform blanket amputation on any injury — they only do so when it’d make sense. 32.Why do the ants bite off the injured legs of their companions？（　　） A.To save their lives.　 B.To compete for territory. C.To check their injuries.　　 D.To force them to work. 33.What’s Frank’s opinion about the injured ants receiving an amputation？（　　） A.They’re unwilling.　 B.They know nothing about it. C.They enjoy it so much.　　 D.They’re cooperative. 34.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning the amputation？（　　） A.Different roles ants play in it.　 B.Actions each ant makes for it. C.The various death rates it causes.　　 D.The experiments about its function. 35.What can be inferred about the ants’ amputations to their companions？（　　） A.They often fail to achieve their goals.　 B.They amputate the lower part of the leg. C.They perform them with strong targeting.　　 D.They often injure themselves while doing so. 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。 　　When is bedtime？ 36.（　　） Inside every living thing is a clock that follows the sun. 　　For a long time， people assumed that daylight told animals when to go to sleep or wake up.See light， wake.See dark， sleep.Then， in 1729， a French scientist named Jean-Jacques d’Ortous de Mairan did an experiment with a mimosa （含羞草）， a plant that folds up its leaves at night.37.（　　） 　　From time to time， he peeked inside.To his surprise， the leaves continued to open and close each day as usual， even in total darkness.And he had discovered a new thing about living creatures.Inside every cell， there is a tiny clock that keeps track of whether it’s morning， noon， or night on the 24-hour cycle of a day.38.（　　） 　　Every cell in the body has its own tiny time-clicker.A master timekeeper in the brain keeps all these cell clocks in step.For humans， a small group of cells at the back of the eye are in charge of the special job.39.（　　） The master clock then sends “wake up” or “sleep” chemicals to all your cells. 　　You can feel light resets your clock if you fly to a different time zone.For a few days you get sleepy at bedtime back home even if it’s afternoon in your new place.This is called “jet lag”.40.（　　） But soon the bright light in the morning and dark at night will reset your master clock to match the local time where you are， and you’re back on schedule. 　　So don’t worry if you forget your watch — your clock inside will keep you on sun time. A.Inside every cell， there is a tiny clock. B.That’s your body’s internal clock at work. C.If you don’t have a phone or watch， don’t worry. D.To learn more about this， scientists did some research. E.They signal when they see strong daylight or growing darkness. F.He put some of the plants in a cupboard and kept them in constant darkness. G.These timekeepers cause cells to do different things at different times of day. 第三部分　语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 　　It was the first night of a tiring seven-day 250 km race across the Gobi Desert a year ago.Mr Leonard 　41　 a little dog going around his camp trying to 　42　 herself. 　　“Cute， but I’m not giving you any，” Leonard thought.Like all the other 　43　， he had packed just enough for the whole 　44　.He’d been running competitively for three years， and he had a 　45　 to win. 　　The next day， at the starting line， the dog 　46　 him again.He waved her away， worrying that she might be stepped on by the runners.Nevertheless， the dog followed him all the way until the day’s race 　47　.That night the dog snuggled （依偎） up to Leonard and even 　48　 to get a little food from him.By then， he was determined to name her Gobi. 　　The pair went on to finish the seven-day race， with Gobi 　49　 a distance of 125 km on her own， and winning against Leonard.It was enough for him to make a 　50　 — he would take her home to Edinburgh.“Seeing Gobi during the race 　51　 my attitude to things.It made me think more about stopping and helping her， rather than just focusing on winning，” said Leonard， who finished second.“It also made my running more 　52　， giving me a lot of pleasure.” 　　As Leonard was preparing to get Gobi home， she was missing.With a group of 20 local volunteers coming to his 　53　， he finally found her.After that， Leonard never let Gobi out of his 　54　.Now Gobi’s favorite activity is still running， and she 　55　 runs at least 8 km a day with Leonard up the hills. 41.

I became a postman in 1975. I have been a postman for 23 years. I love my work very much and it’s a fine life for me. Every week I work forty hours.
