The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part- particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold- weather root vegetables- was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.
The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.
Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.
Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where- luckily for me- I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.
4. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?
A. Exciting. B. Boring.
C. Relaxing. D. Annoying.
5. What made the author’s getting up late early worthwhile?
A. Having a swim.
B. Breathing in fresh air.
C. Walking in the morning sun.
D. Visiting a local farmer’s market.
6. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?
A. They are soft. B. They look nice.
C. They taste great D. They are juicy.
7. What was the author going to that evening?
A. Go to a farm. B. Check into a hotel.
C. Eat in a restaurant. D. Buy fresh vegatables.
C
Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are a unique ocean ecosystem consisting of rocky structures mainly formed by corals and some other ocean life. Despite only covering 0.2 percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs support at least 25 percent of marine species, as well as providing food and economic security for hundreds of millions of people.
However, coral reefs across the world are under threat. Warmer oceans can cause the coral bleaching (白化). It happens when the corals lose colored algae (海藻) living in their bodies and turn completely white. Without the algae, the corals lose their main food source and can die. In addition, as oceans become more acidic (酸性的) from absorbing CO₂, corals in acidic conditions become weak in forming reefs.
In 2021, the United Nations reported a 14 percent loss of corals across the world largely from rising sea temperatures since 2009. Australia declared mass bleaching events in 2022 across large parts of the Great Barrier Reef, four times since 2016. Data from the Philippines showed higher than usual ocean temperatures between 2015 and 2017 had caused serious three-year bleaching events in reefs across the planet.
Scientists have been cooperating to see how coral reefs can be protected. Thankfully, they find those coral reefs in the hot parts of the globe are the least affected. They contain corals with better heat resistance. So their research focuses on finding genes for heat tolerance so that they can be passed on to future generations. Biologists also mix corals that are more resilient to higher temperatures with those that are not and the resulting generation has a better chance of survival.
Ultimately, scientists add that without a serious reduction in greenhouse gases, 99 percent of the world’s coral reefs will be gone by the end of the century. There is a limit to how quickly corals can adapt to warm climate, so if temperatures rise rapidly, then extinction is certain.
8. Which is the main threat to coral reefs?
A. Declining ocean acidification. B. Increasing sea temperatures.
C. Loss of colored algae. D. Lack of food sources.
9. What do we know from paragraph 3?
A. No actions are taken to protect coral reefs.
B. Coral bleaching is the worst in Australia.
C. Coral reefs have grown rapidly for years.
D. Coral reefs receive impacts globally.
10. What can be the basic way to protect coral reefs?
A. Limiting their spread. B. Lowering the release of greenhouse gases.
C. Relying on genetic science. D. Transplanting them to the hot parts.
11. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. How Can Coral Reefs Survive?
B. Where Are Coral Reefs Spread?
C. Coral Reefs, a New Threat to Ocean
D. Coral Reefs, a Busy Underwater Community
D
Humans are not the animal kingdom's only fashionistas. Tits ( ill雀) can be fashion followers, too, apparently. A latest study shows that, given the chance, they decorate their nests with this season's must-have colour.
Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin were following up on a study published in 1934 by Henry Smith Williams, an American naturalist. He noticed that when he put various coloured balls of yarn (纱) out in his garden, almost always one and only one became popular that season for being included into local birds' nests. But which particular color was favoured varied from season to season. This suggested that the colour chosen by one of the early birds was spotted and copied by others.
Williams's work was, however, forgotten until they came across it while following up on a different study, published by a team at the University of Toulouse, suggesting fashion-following, too. Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin therefore set out to re-run Williams's experiment, but this time to collect some actual numbers.
The birds they followed were part of a well-monitored population of blue tits in a wood near the institute. Most birds in this wood carried tracking devices fitted to them after their capture in mist nets. That allowed the institute's researchers to keep track of a vast number of individuals by recording their arrival at food containers throughout the wood. Instead of food, these containers were loaded with wool of different colors. Interestingly, researchers soon found that most nests of blue tits included only the color of the wool first chosen by a nestbuildcr.
Tits, then, do seem to be “on trend”, when it comes to nest-building materials. Why that should happen remains obscure. Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin suspect the fashion leaders are older birds, and that evolution favours younger ones copying their elders since those elders have evidently survived what fortune has to throw at a tit. Williams’s original work, though, suggests such initial choices are at random-a bit like those of the leaders of human fashions.
12. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin contributed to William's work.
B. Early birds' color preference was copied by their fellows.
C. The yam was the most popular material to decorate local birds' nests.
D. The color of the yam favored by local birds was fixed throughout the year.
13. How did Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin improve William's experiment?
A. They observed the blue tits.
B. They studied the habits of blue tits.
C. They adopted the data-collecting method.
D. They fitted tracking devices to food containers.
14. What does the underlined word “obscure” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Hidden. B. Evident. C. Complicated. D. Shallow.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Birds favor certain colors in decoration.
B. Young birds follow their elders in fashion.
C. Young birds are just as intelligent as people.
D. Birds are just as fashion-conscious as people.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
We three were running down the path, shouting and laughing when our dog Rubby suddenly stopped in the distance. He turned around, eyeing us, with his tail swinging up and down.
My little brother Toby immediately sped up and rushed to where Rubby was. He bent down and picked up something and ran back to us.
It was a bunch of keys. We gathered in a circle, examining the keys one by one, hoping to find some useful information about its owner. There were 3 keys, a house key, a mail key and a car key and a unique key fob(吊坠), very likely designed specially.
“Gosh, the owner might be in great trouble.” My sister sighed. She was right. We once lost our keys. Although we had an extra house key, it took our parents quite a long time to get a new mail key, let alone there was a car key.
Who might have lost them?
After many wild guesses, we finally drew a conclusion: It might belong to someone in our neighborhood as only our neighbors wandered into the woods for a walk. But it was still impossible to figure out who it was. We had a very big neighborhood.
“The owner might come back to look for them.” Toby reminded.
So we decided to stay where we were, keeping a watchful eye on all passers-by. Our little dog ran in circles of excitement that we stayed so long in the wild. We remained in the woods for two hours, asking everyone we came across whether they lost their keys, but in vain.
It seemed we had to give up. But my sister wouldn’t, saying that she just couldn’t stop picturing the owner brushing aside tall grasses hoping to find the lost keys. “How anxious and upset the owner would be!”
I took a look at the bunch of keys again and quite by accident, found the key fob had the alarm button, “Look! If we press the alarm button, close enough of course, we can set off the owner’s car alarm...”
“That’s brilliant.”
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。
We rushed back to our neighborhood.

The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part- particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold- weather root vegetables- was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.
The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.
Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.
Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where- luckily for me- I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.
4. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?
A. Exciting. B. Boring.
C. Relaxing. D. Annoying.
5. What made the author’s getting up late early worthwhile?
A. Having a swim.
B. Breathing in fresh air.
C. Walking in the morning sun.
D. Visiting a local farmer’s market.
6. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?
A. They are soft. B. They look nice.
C. They taste great D. They are juicy.
7. What was the author going to that evening?
A. Go to a farm. B. Check into a hotel.
C. Eat in a restaurant. D. Buy fresh vegatables.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. C

Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are a unique ocean ecosystem consisting of rocky structures mainly formed by corals and some other ocean life. Despite only covering 0.2 percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs support at least 25 percent of marine species, as well as providing food and economic security for hundreds of millions of people.
However, coral reefs across the world are under threat. Warmer oceans can cause the coral bleaching (白化). It happens when the corals lose colored algae (海藻) living in their bodies and turn completely white. Without the algae, the corals lose their main food source and can die. In addition, as oceans become more acidic (酸性的) from absorbing CO₂, corals in acidic conditions become weak in forming reefs.
In 2021, the United Nations reported a 14 percent loss of corals across the world largely from rising sea temperatures since 2009. Australia declared mass bleaching events in 2022 across large parts of the Great Barrier Reef, four times since 2016. Data from the Philippines showed higher than usual ocean temperatures between 2015 and 2017 had caused serious three-year bleaching events in reefs across the planet.
Scientists have been cooperating to see how coral reefs can be protected. Thankfully, they find those coral reefs in the hot parts of the globe are the least affected. They contain corals with better heat resistance. So their research focuses on finding genes for heat tolerance so that they can be passed on to future generations. Biologists also mix corals that are more resilient to higher temperatures with those that are not and the resulting generation has a better chance of survival.
Ultimately, scientists add that without a serious reduction in greenhouse gases, 99 percent of the world’s coral reefs will be gone by the end of the century. There is a limit to how quickly corals can adapt to warm climate, so if temperatures rise rapidly, then extinction is certain.
8. Which is the main threat to coral reefs?
A. Declining ocean acidification. B. Increasing sea temperatures.
C. Loss of colored algae. D. Lack of food sources.
9. What do we know from paragraph 3?
A. No actions are taken to protect coral reefs.
B. Coral bleaching is the worst in Australia.
C. Coral reefs have grown rapidly for years.
D. Coral reefs receive impacts globally.
10. What can be the basic way to protect coral reefs?
A. Limiting their spread. B. Lowering the release of greenhouse gases.
C. Relying on genetic science. D. Transplanting them to the hot parts.
11. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. How Can Coral Reefs Survive?
B. Where Are Coral Reefs Spread?
C. Coral Reefs, a New Threat to Ocean
D. Coral Reefs, a Busy Underwater Community
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A

Humans are not the animal kingdom's only fashionistas. Tits ( ill雀) can be fashion followers, too, apparently. A latest study shows that, given the chance, they decorate their nests with this season's must-have colour.
Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin were following up on a study published in 1934 by Henry Smith Williams, an American naturalist. He noticed that when he put various coloured balls of yarn (纱) out in his garden, almost always one and only one became popular that season for being included into local birds' nests. But which particular color was favoured varied from season to season. This suggested that the colour chosen by one of the early birds was spotted and copied by others.
Williams's work was, however, forgotten until they came across it while following up on a different study, published by a team at the University of Toulouse, suggesting fashion-following, too. Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin therefore set out to re-run Williams's experiment, but this time to collect some actual numbers.
The birds they followed were part of a well-monitored population of blue tits in a wood near the institute. Most birds in this wood carried tracking devices fitted to them after their capture in mist nets. That allowed the institute's researchers to keep track of a vast number of individuals by recording their arrival at food containers throughout the wood. Instead of food, these containers were loaded with wool of different colors. Interestingly, researchers soon found that most nests of blue tits included only the color of the wool first chosen by a nestbuildcr.
Tits, then, do seem to be “on trend”, when it comes to nest-building materials. Why that should happen remains obscure. Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin suspect the fashion leaders are older birds, and that evolution favours younger ones copying their elders since those elders have evidently survived what fortune has to throw at a tit. Williams’s original work, though, suggests such initial choices are at random-a bit like those of the leaders of human fashions.
12. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin contributed to William's work.
B. Early birds' color preference was copied by their fellows.
C. The yam was the most popular material to decorate local birds' nests.
D. The color of the yam favored by local birds was fixed throughout the year.
13. How did Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin improve William's experiment?
A. They observed the blue tits.
B. They studied the habits of blue tits.
C. They adopted the data-collecting method.
D. They fitted tracking devices to food containers.
14. What does the underlined word “obscure” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Hidden. B. Evident. C. Complicated. D. Shallow.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Birds favor certain colors in decoration.
B. Young birds follow their elders in fashion.
C. Young birds are just as intelligent as people.
D. Birds are just as fashion-conscious as people.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二自然段“He noticed that when he put various coloured balls of yarn (纱) out in his garden, almost always one and only one became popular that season for being included into local birds' nests. But which particular color was favoured varied from season to season. This suggested that the colour chosen by one of the early birds was spotted and copied by others. (他注意到,当他把各种颜色的纱线球放在花园里时,几乎总是有一种,而且只有一种因为被放进当地的鸟巢而在那个季节流行起来。但哪种颜色受到青睐因季节而异。这表明,其中一只早期鸟类选择的颜色被其他鸟类发现并模仿了。)”可知,最开始的鸟类的颜色偏好被它们的同伴模仿了。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三自然段“Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin therefore set out to re-run Williams's experiment, but this time to collect some actual numbers. (因此,Wild博士和Aplin博士开始重新进行Williams的实验,但这次是为了收集一些实际数字。)”可知,Wild博士和Aplin博士采用了数据收集的方法来改进Williams的实验。故选C。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五自然段“Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin suspect the fashion leaders are older birds, and that evolution favours younger ones copying their elders since those elders have evidently survived what fortune has to throw at a tit. (Wild博士和Aplin博士怀疑时尚界的领导者都是年纪较大的鸟,进化倾向于年轻人模仿他们的长辈,因为这些长辈显然在命运的洗礼中幸存了下来。)”中的suspect可推知,为什么会发生这种情况还不清楚。obscure意为“不清楚的;隐蔽的”。A. Hidden.隐蔽的;B. Evident.显然的;C. Complicated.复杂的;D. Shallow. 肤浅的。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一自然段“Humans are not the animal kingdom's only fashionistas. Tits ( ill雀) can be fashion followers, too, apparently.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国新年期间用植物、水果和花卉装饰的习俗,以及橘子树、竹子、梅花各自的象征意义。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:中国新年是一个庆祝活动,标志着冬季的结束和春季的开始。提示词作表语,且不定冠词a后接可数名词单数,应用单数名词celebration,意为“庆祝活动”。故填celebration。
【37题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:这就是为什么用植物、水果和花卉装饰具有特殊意义。carry(具有)是从句中谓语动词,结合上下文可知,本文讲述客观习俗,用一般现在时态,又因主语是动名词短语“decorating with plants, fruits and flowers”,谓语动词用单数形式。故填carries。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它们代表着复苏的大地和对新开始的美好祝愿。“________ comes back to life”是限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the earth,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。
【39题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:橘子树不仅仅是装饰品;它们是好运和财富的象征。more than是固定短语,意为“不仅仅,超过”,句中表示橘子树的意义不止于装饰。故填than。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它们是很好的礼物,你会经常看到它们装饰着红包和祝福话语。decorate(装饰)作宾语补足语,用非谓语动词形式,与其逻辑主语them(指代橘子树)之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填decorated。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:当然在假期期间,这种植物是必不可少的。提示词修饰整个句子,用副词certainly作状语,意为“当然”,句首单词首字母大写。故填Certainly。
【42题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:竹子与健康、富足和幸福的家庭联系在一起。be associated with是固定短语,意为“与……联系在一起”。故填with。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它们容易照料,也是很好的礼物。be easy to do sth.是固定结构,意为“做某事很容易”,用不定式to care作补足语。故填to care。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:覆盖着粉色蓓蕾的美丽长枝是极好的装饰品。提示词修饰名词branches,需用形容词形式beautiful作定语,意为“美丽的”。故填beautiful。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:即使在雪融化的时候,梅花也是第一个开花的。序数词first前需加定冠词the,表示“第一个”。故填the。

Dear Jim,

Yours,

【答案】Dear Jim,
I’m glad to hear you’re planning a “Green Campus” themed club activity and I’d love to share some ideas with you.
For the activity form, a combination of workshops and on-site practices would work well. This way, students can both learn knowledge and put it into action. In the workshop, you can invite a teacher to give a talk on environmental protection, like how small daily actions can reduce carbon footprint. Then, organize a campus clean-up where students pick up litter and sort it into different bins. You can also set up a “swap corner” where students exchange used books, stationery or clothes instead of throwing them away.
I hope these suggestions are helpful. Wish your activity a great success!
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节 书面表达 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
We three were running down the path, shouting and laughing when our dog Rubby suddenly stopped in the distance. He turned around, eyeing us, with his tail swinging up and down.
My little brother Toby immediately sped up and rushed to where Rubby was. He bent down and picked up something and ran back to us.
It was a bunch of keys. We gathered in a circle, examining the keys one by one, hoping to find some useful information about its owner. There were 3 keys, a house key, a mail key and a car key and a unique key fob(吊坠), very likely designed specially.
“Gosh, the owner might be in great trouble.” My sister sighed. She was right. We once lost our keys. Although we had an extra house key, it took our parents quite a long time to get a new mail key, let alone there was a car key.
Who might have lost them?
After many wild guesses, we finally drew a conclusion: It might belong to someone in our neighborhood as only our neighbors wandered into the woods for a walk. But it was still impossible to figure out who it was. We had a very big neighborhood.
“The owner might come back to look for them.” Toby reminded.
So we decided to stay where we were, keeping a watchful eye on all passers-by. Our little dog ran in circles of excitement that we stayed so long in the wild. We remained in the woods for two hours, asking everyone we came across whether they lost their keys, but in vain.
It seemed we had to give up. But my sister wouldn’t, saying that she just couldn’t stop picturing the owner brushing aside tall grasses hoping to find the lost keys. “How anxious and upset the owner would be!”
I took a look at the bunch of keys again and quite by accident, found the key fob had the alarm button, “Look! If we press the alarm button, close enough of course, we can set off the owner’s car alarm...”
“That’s brilliant.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右:

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We rushed back to our neighborhood. We found a lot of cars in the neighborhood. We tried to pass each car, pressing the alarm button. But in vain. Just as we were about to give up when we suddenly discovered an old car parked in a nearby corner. When we pressed the button, the car’s lights were on and the car made a beep. We jumped with joy and at the same time, we recognized that that car belongs to an old lady near our house. She often drives this old car to go shopping.
The door opened and in front of us stood an old lady. The old lady looked unhappy. She said“hello,kids”.We took out the present and asked her if they were her keys. The old woman suddenly brightened up with surprise. The old woman said“God, It is you that find my keys. ” She was very grateful to us and gave us the dessert she had made herself. We didn’t refuse it .We smiled to each other. It was a wonderful day.
