B Ultramarathon runner Russ Cook, who is from Worthing on England’s south coast,reached Ras ben Sakka in Tunisia—the northernmost point of Africa, completing his 352-day mission (任务) to run the length of the African continent.He also raised more than ￡ 690,000 for two causes: The Running Charity, which uses running and fitness to support young people who are experiencing homelessness, and Sandblast Ltd, which educates people about Sahrawi culture. Cook set off from South Africa’s Cape Agulhas—the southernmost point of Africa.He had initially aimed to cover 9,320 miles during the challenge, crossing 16 borders, but he extended his total distance to more than 10,190 miles due to a multitude of complications.After crossing the finish line, Cook embraced his family and friends before taking a dip in the Mediterranean Sea, from where he told Sky News, “It was good.I’m a bit tired.” Cook previously completed 71 marathons in 66 days as he ran from Istanbul to London in 2019.His motivation for the latest challenge was to raise people’s mental health awareness.His challenge began with a 50.6-km run in South Africa.Afterward, he wrote in a post: “Tougher days are yet to come of course, and no doubt they will be the toughest I’ve ever faced.I’m ready to attack them all.” His instinct proved right.On Day 20, severe dehydration (脱水) forced him to stop in the Namib Desert.A host of other issues continued after that.Cook lost contact with his team in a jungle in the Democratic Republic of Congo, although they were later reunited.He also battled numerous injuries throughout—most obviously a troublesome back issue that forced him to get an X-ray in Benin City, Nigeria, as well as a few bouts of food poisoning (中毒) over the course of the challenge.Visa issues concerning entering Algeria also threatened to end the challenge.The final months saw him run across the Sahara Desert, where he often wore protective glasses to fight sandstorms. 24.Which place did Cook start his latest challenge from? A.Istanbul. B.Worthing. C.Cape Agulhas. D.Ras Ben Sakka. 25.Why did Cook go on the 352-day mission according to the text? A.To experience African culture. B.To raise money for his family. C.To inspire people to love ultramarathon. D.To draw public attention to mental health. 26.What made Cook have an X-ray examination? A.An eye injury. B.Food poisoning. C.A back problem. D.Severe dehydration. 27.Which of the following can best describe Cook? A.Determined and caring. B.Adventurous and creative. C.Sharp-minded and friendly. D.Warm-hearted and humorous. C Mounting evidence links red meat consumption (消费) with a higher risk of diseases in humans and significant harm to the environment.In contrast, forage (饵料) fish, which are food for larger predators, are highly nutritious (有营养的), environmentally friendly and the most abundant fish species in the world’s oceans. While research has shown the benefits of forage fish, until now it has been unclear to what extent they might cut the global burden of diseases if substituted for red meat.Now a team of Japanese and Australian researchers have an answer after conducting the largest analysis of its kind. The researchers modelled four situations, each representing a different pattern of forage fish distribution globally.They used data for projected red meat consumption in 2050 and historical data on the forage fish catch from marine habitats.Globally, this approach could prevent as many as 750,000 deaths from diet-related diseases in 2050 and avoid up to 15 million years of life lived with a disability. Forage fish are abundant in calcium, vitamin B12 and omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, the intake of which may prevent coronary heart diseases.They also have the lowest carbon footprint of any animal food source, the researchers said.Adopting this type of diet would be especially helpful for low- and middle-income countries, where these fish are cheap and plentiful, and the toll taken by heart diseases in particular is high, the researchers added. However, at the moment three-quarters of forage fish catches are made into fish meal and fish oil—products mostly used for fish farming.The limited supply of forage fish isn’t sufficient to replace all red meat, the researchers acknowledged.But swapping them could still substantially cut the global burden of diseases.“This study points to the need for fish-based food policy guidelines and nutrition-sensitive policies to promote forage fish consumption,”the researchers wrote. 28.Which is a problem of eating red meat according to the text? A.Harming the planet. B.Reducing animal diversity. C.Causing economic stress. D.Leading to poor nutrition. 29.What do the numbers in paragraph 3 indicate? A.The large increase in deadly diseases. B.The serious destruction of ocean habitats. C.The really huge consumption of red meat. D.The extremely good effect of eating forage fish. 30.What are fish meal and fish oil mainly used to do now? A.Catch fish. B.Raise fish. C.Produce drugs. D.Cook vegetables. 31.What is the best title for the text? A.Diet-related diseases are on the rise B.Environmental problems are getting worse C.Fish farming—a career producing good nutrition D.Forage fish—a promising replacement for red meat D It is late autumn—millions of gardeners across the northern hemisphere put on their thickest sweaters, spent hours clearing large piles of leaves and packed them into plastic bags at the end of driveways. In the US alone, nearly 10 million tonnes of garden waste go to landfill every year. That is a large amount of effort, not just from an environmental viewpoint but from that of our aching backs, too. So where does this advice come from? Well, it largely comes from the belief that thick fallen leaves can make plants under them unable to breathe, especially shorter grass. They shut down important photosynthesis (光合作用) and get in the way of the growth of shorter grass. However, this received wisdom has recently been questioned by researchers at Wisconsin University. The key finding of their new research was that although clearing fallen leaves is one of the most common gardening practices, it makes very little sense. In natural ecosystems, fallen leaves help return nutrients necessary for the healthy growth of plants to soil, which greatly improves soil conditions. Removing leaves year after year breaks this ecological (生态的) balance. Letting some leaves stick around to cover your garden is a great way to help your grass and the local ecosystem. They further explained that if less than 50 percent of your lawn (草坪) is covered by fallen leaves, you might as well go back indoors and put your feet up. The advantages of this light leaf coverage far outweigh the disadvantages—the leaves will quickly break down and help the lawn grow far better the next year. Only at over 50 percent coverage do the Wisconsin researchers recommend clearing up. So why not consider leaving the leaves? Save time, carbon and effort, and in exchange get a healthier lawn from this garden waste—that seems like a pretty good deal. And how many plastic bags could be saved by simply not discarding fallen leaves every year? In the US alone, about 700 million. 32.What does the author describe in paragraph 1? A.An amazing autumn game. B.A common sight in gardens. C.A hot attraction in the north. D.An extreme weather event. 33.What is the received wisdom? A.Fallen leaves need not be cleared. B.Fallen leaves protect shorter grass. C.Fallen leaves block photosynthesis. D.Fallen leaves are hard to break down. 34.Why is clearing fallen leaves meaningless according to paragraph 3? A.It damages ecosystems. B.It brings economic pressure. C.More leaves continue to fall. D.Walking on the lawn ruins grass. 35.What does the underlined word “discarding” in the last paragraph mean? A.Studying. B.Forgetting. C.Turning. D.Throwing. 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。 Academic success is very important.　36　 To achieve your success, it’s important to develop some skills, which can guide your learning.If you’re unsure of where to start, read the following.

In Hawaiian culture, aloha has many meanings.First, it is a greeting.However, it is also an expression of love and friendship.One man was a living example of “aloha”, for he had a story to unfold. Amanda was shopping with her young son, and she was absorbed in picking up their groceries for their family reunion.She was in such a hurry that she even left her wallet in the shopping cart, which contained her driver’s license, credit cards, plenty of cash, and even a gift card that could easily be redeemed (兑换) by anyone.It was not until she arrived home that she found her wallet gone.The woman returned to the supermarket, and started her search for the lost wallet by watching hours and hours of the security footage in the supermarket.She turned to several different cameras around the store, but all her efforts were in vain, so she completely gave up hope. Andy Jose was a security guard at the supermarket.He moved to Maui 5 years ago, and worked as a security guard at the grocery store to support his family and put himself through college.He rode his bike to work and school every day because he didn’t have a car. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 He was busy collecting the shopping carts when something caught his eyes. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Amanda and her husband decided to do something to show their gratitude. ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 听　　力 1~5　CABAC　6~10　ABBCA　11~15　ABCBC　16~20　ACBBC 阅　　读 A 本文主要介绍了American Heritage Academy在新学年对学生的学业要求。 21.B　根据Academic Reporting部分第1句可知,学校会在为期175天的学年中总共发放四张成绩单。 22.A　根据Exam Days部分第2句可知,二年级的学生必须参加期末考试。 23.C　通读全文可知,本文意在告知学生新学年的学业要求。 B 本文主要介绍了英国超级马拉松运动员Russ Cook克服了一系列困难,完成了为期352天的穿越非洲大陆之旅。 24.C　根据第2段第1句可知,Cook从非洲最南端的南非Cape Agulhas开始了本次挑战。 25.D　根据第3段第2句可知,Cook进行为期352天的穿越非洲大陆之旅是为了引起公众对心理健康的关注。 26.C　根据第4段第5句可知,背部问题使得Cook接受了一次X光检查。 27.A　通读全文可知,Cook为了完成本次挑战克服了一系列困难,并为慈善事业筹集了超过69万英镑,由此可知,Cook是一个意志坚定且有爱心的人。 C 把人们餐桌上的红肉换成饵料鱼,即用作养殖水产动物食物的鱼,可以给健康带来极大的好处,并有助于解决气候危机。 28.A　根据第1段第1句可知,吃红肉会破坏地球环境。 29.D　根据第3段第3句可知,研究人员预测,在2050年,在全球范围内,吃饵料鱼可以防止多达75万人死于与饮食有关的疾病,并避免长达1500万年的残疾生活。由此可知,本段的数字说明了吃饵料鱼可以带来非常好的影响。 30.B　根据最后一段第1句可知,目前,鱼粉和鱼油主要用于养鱼。 31.D　通读全文可知,把人们餐桌上的红肉换成饵料鱼,可以给健康带来极大的好处,并有助于解决气候危机。 D 每年都会有数以百万计的人在晚秋清理落叶,但是Wisconsin University最近的研究表明,落叶有助于将植物健康生长所需的营养物质返还给土壤,这会大大改善土壤的状况。年复一年地清理落叶打破了这种生态平衡。 32.B　通读第1段可知,作者在本段描述的是一种花园里常见的情景。 33.C　根据第2段最后三句可知,这种普遍认同的观点指的是上文提到的落叶会阻碍光合作用。 34.A　根据第3段前三句可知,研究人员发现清理落叶毫无意义,因为这会对生态系统造成破坏。 35.D　根据画线词上下文可知,在美国,每年只要不把落叶扔掉就可以节省大约7亿个塑料袋。由此可推测,discarding意为“扔掉”。 补 全 短 文 36~40　BECFA 完 形 填 空 阿根廷壁画家Fio Silva以大自然为灵感,在城市墙面上创作出色彩斑斓、充满动感的壁画,旨在通过艺术让观者在都市中感受到自然之美。 41.B　Silva的大部分灵感来自大自然。 42.D　她认为最激励她的是运动和力量。 43.A　她试图创作出不仅仅因为颜色或尺寸而引人注目的作品。 44.C　 45.A　它也可以被“阅读”,并告诉你一些事情。 46.B　她说她几乎是偶然间开始从事这个职业的。 47.D　她开始创作壁画是因为一个朋友在她生日时送了她一些喷漆罐。 48.C　随即,完全出于好奇,她第一次走上街头去画画。 49.A　她所在社区的人们热情地让出了他们的墙壁让她画画,在那里她爱上了在公共空间画画。 50.C 51.D　她对在艺术品中选用的颜色特别谨慎,因为特定的颜色会加强她想要表达的东西,产生一种力量,将观众从城市的环境带入她创造的自然世界。 52.B　 53.A 54.C 55.B　让城市充满活力的美丽的艺术品是一种公共福利。看到那些艺术家热切地信仰这个理念并积极行动使其成为现实,真是令人激动。 语 法 填 空 56.have been attracted　57.a　58.to feel　59.explorers　60.on/upon　61.would choose　62.perfectly　63.growing　64.be driven　65.where 写　　作 第一节 One possible version: Dear Stephen, I’m Li Hua, a student from Class 1.I’m writing to recommend a topic for the upcoming English Speaking Competition—The Importance of Global Citizenship in the Modern World.
