A 12-minute piece of music composed by Mozart has been discovered in a library in Germany. Researchers think the composer wrote the previously unknown piece-called Serenade in C-when he was a young teenager.
The composition was found in the holdings of Germany’s Leipzig Municipal Libraries-some 280 miles north of Salzburg, Austria, where Mozart was born in 1756. Although Mozart wrote this piece when he was only a teenager, it was not uncommon for him to write music in his childhood. Mozart began to perform around Austria from the age of five and shortly afterwards became famous as a composer.
Mozart probably wrote the recently discovered composition between the mid and late 1760s, according to a statement from the Leipzig Municipal Libraries. Library researchers were compiling (编辑) an edition of the Kochel catalog, a collection of Mozart’s works, when they came across a mysterious bound manuscript (装订好的手稿) containing a handwritten composition in brown ink. The composition is thought to have been written by Mozart. The handwriting, however, is not Mozart’s, suggesting that the manuscript is a copy of the original composition. The researchers think it was made around 1780.
The researchers say the music fits stylistically with other works from the 1760s, when Mozart was between the ages of 10 and13. The young composer was no longer creating pieces that sounded like this one by the time he was in his late teens.
In his early years, Mozart wrote many chamber works like Serenade in C, which his father recorded on a list of his son’s compositions. Many of these works were thought to have been lost to history. Luckily, this particular piece was saved–thanks to the composer’ s sister. “It looks as if a complete string trio (二重奏曲) has survived in Leipzig,” Leisinger, a worker from the International Mozarteum Foundation, says. “The source was obviously Mozart’s sister, who perhaps preserved the work in memory of her brother.”
4. What does the second paragraph intend to show about Mozart?
A. His talent at a young age. B. His connection to Salzburg.
C. His preference for performing. D. His popularity all around the world.
5. On what basis do the researchers date Serenade in C?
A. The title of the composition. B. The style of the composition.
C. The number in the Kochel catalog. D. The color of the ink used in the copy.
6. Why is Mozart’s sister mentioned?
A. She had a positive influence on Mozart.
B. She was the first to perform Serenade in C.
C. She helped Mozart compose Serenade in C.
D. She was the one who preserved Serenade in C.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Mozart’s Works Need Updating.
B. Mozart’s Works Attract New Attention.
C. A Lost Mozart Composition Was Discovered.
D. Researchers Uncovered the Early Life of Mozart.

Throughout history, lions have represented courage and strength. Lions live in groups called prides, and the size of a pride depends on food availability, but a typical pride includes one to three males, a dozen females, and their cubs or young lions. Males are larger than females (lionesses). A lion’s body ranges in length from 4.5 to 6.5 feet, with a tail from 26 to 40 inches. Both males and females are powerful, muscular cats with rounded heads and ears. Only adult male lions display a brown, rust, or black mane (鼠毛) which extends down the neck and chest.
Lions’ diet consists of more than 70% meat. Lions prefer to hunt big animals including zebra, buffalo, and giraffe. They usually avoid very large(elephant) and very small(monkey) prey (猎物), but they’ll take farm animals. Lions most often hunt at dawn or dusk, but can adapt to their prey to change their schedule. When hunting, lionesses run from more than one direction to catch fleeing animals. Usually, prey is consumed at the hunting site.
Male lions tend to be four or five years old before winning a challenge and joining a pride. When a new male takes over a pride, he usually kills the youngest generation of cubs and drives away the adolescents. Most adult lions are killed by humans or other lions, although some die from injuries while hunting. Usually, about 80% of cubs die, but those that survive to adulthood may live to be 10 to 14 years of age. Some cubs are killed by hyenas and wild dogs.
The lion is listed as “vulnerable (易危的)” on the IUCN Red List. The wild population decreased by approximately 43% from 1993 to 2014. Although lions can tolerate a wide range of habitats, they are threatened because people continue to kill them and because of the lack of prey.
8. What do we know about lions according to paragraph 1?
A. They are social animals. B. They all have a nice mane.
C. They are known for their powerful tails. D. They have the same head and ear size.
9. How do lions typically get food?
A. By hunting on big farms. B. By hiding close to their prey.
C. By using tools to trap their prey. D. By catching their prey cooperatively.
10. What can be learned about cubs in paragraph 3?
A. They tend to live a very long life. B. Most of them are killed by other animals.
C. They face many threats before adulthood. D. They are carefully protected by their parents.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The shortage of available prey. B. Threatened habitats for lions.
C. The tough situation of the wild lion. D. Endangered animals on the IUCN Red List.
D
Research has found that loneliness and social isolation are associated with an increased risk of conditions like anxiety, depression, heart disease, and stroke. In fact, a 2010 analysis found that loneliness is as harmful to physical health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day — meaning using friendship to reduce loneliness is good for you. But how many friends should you have?
According to Jeffrey Hall, a professor of communication studies at the University of Kansas, if you want to ease the health impacts of loneliness, the most important thing you can do is to have at least one important person in your life. But if you want to have the most meaningful life, one where you feel very bonded and connected to others, more friends are better.
Some research endorses his remarks. One study from 2016 found that those with at least six friends have better health throughout their lives, and a study from 2020 found that middle-aged women who have at least three friends typically have higher levels of overall satisfaction with their lives.
To figure out whether you need more friends in your life, psychologist Marisa Franco recommends asking yourself, “Do I feel lonely?” Loneliness is sort of an alarm system. While everyone feels lonely sometimes, you should determine whether you feel left out or isolated regularly.
Franco also recommends asking yourself if there are parts of your identity that you feel are restricted. “Different people bring out different parts of us. So when you have a large friend group, you’re able to experience this side of yourself that loves basketball, and that side of yourself that loves flowers,” Franco said. “If you’re not feeling quite like yourself, that might indicate you need different types of friends.”
Since making new friends can be difficult, Franco said it’s often easier to rekindle old relationships. She added that you should take the initiative and not assume that friendships will naturally happen.
“Ultimately, there ‘isn’t a magic number’ of friends for everyone,” Hall said. “Your personality and the characteristics of your life are going to make a difference.”
12. What might Jeffrey Hall agree with?
A. Having just one friend leads to more happiness.
B. Everyone’s ideal number of friends doesn’t vary.
C. A broad friend network enables strong connections.
D. Friendship should be prioritized in social relations.
13. What does the underlined word “endorses” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Creates. B. Supports. C. Satisfies. D. Introduces.
14. Which one suggests a person needs more friends according to Franco?
A. Continuous self-doubt. B. Few exciting experiences.
C. Ineffective social activities. D. Constant feelings of isolation.
15. What does Franco say about having a large friend group?
A. It requires befriending those with shared values.
B. It ensures personal growth by wide social circles.
C. It means a person won’t feel restricted any longer.
D. It helps explore different aspects of one’s personality.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Sometimes it feels like the world runs on autopilot. Food comes from the supermarket, hospitals have life-saving devices, and a new smart phone can be sent to your home. None of this would exist, though, without abundant natural resources. ____16____ Others, like minerals, fossil fuels, and metals, are non-renewable. Could we face a world without these resources? Let’s see.
Oxygen is the third most abundant element in the universe. Earth’s oxygen levels have been decreasing for about a million years due to carbon emissions. Some researchers say we’ll soon run out of it. ____17____ If the Earth lost oxygen for five seconds, airplanes would crash, and buildings would turn to dust.
Water has been nourishing the Earth for 4.6 billion years. About 70% of the planet’s surface is made of this natural resource — that includes our oceans, seas, rivers and lakes. ____18____ However, over 95% is undrinkable. We face an increasing shortage of freshwater compared to the demand for it. If we ever do run out of water, experts predict catastrophes like war, starvation, and a global economic crash.
____19____ They, like coal, oil and natural gas, come from the remains of decaying (腐烂的) plants and animals. We rely on them for things like heat, energy and fuel. But our dependence on this non-renewable resource is decreasing our supply and contributing to climate change. Some scientists predict we could run out of them by 2060 if we don’t shift towards alternative energy.
A UN official confirmed that we might run out of soil in about 60 years. Global warming, deforestation (滥伐森林) and chemical farming all contribute to the destruction of soil, and, essentially, we are using soil faster than we can replenish (补充) it. We need healthy topsoil to grow about 95% of our food. ____20____
A. Once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.
B. Some, like the sun and wind, are renewable.
C. Fossil fuels have existed for millions of years.
D. It also exists in the atmosphere and beneath the ground.
E. But most scientists agree we are nowhere near a relevant crisis.
F. Nevertheless, all these depend on natural resources from the earth.
G. Without fertile planting grounds for crops, entire civilizations can be wiped out.

As teachers, we try hard year after year to help our students feel successful. But sometimes there comes one student that presents a challenge. A few years ago, I had that challenge. His name was David. Before school even started, his name had come before him. He had moved from another school into mine.
On the first day of school, all the excited students walked into the room longing to start: everyone but David. He had had a hard summer. His father was in jail (监狱). This angered him because his family was not together. His mother had to work nights, so she wasn’t there in the evening and was sleeping when he woke up. During the evenings, he lived with his sixteen-year old sister. I knew he got less support at home. But David was a bright student. All showed that.
So I began my challenge to help David achieve success. I liked him immediately and saw so much energy hidden behind an angry wall he had built up around himself. But David slowly quit doing his homework and began to get into more trouble. It was clear that he was looking for any kind of attention. I knew if David was going to pass the fifth grade, I needed to come up with a plan.
One day, David and I sat in the library and just talked. I told him that I knew that he was not an “F” student and that I didn’t want him to be suspended (停学). It was my job to teach him, but his job to try. We talked about his family and what he did after school. He wanted to do well. From then on, David and I often sat in the library and just talked. He knew what I expected from him and that I liked him.
As a result, he had a better performance in my class. But sometimes, he would talk back to other adults. I asked him why he had never talked back to me. He said I would not jump to conclusions without hearing his side of a story.
注意:1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式作答。
One day as we were having lunch together, he told me that his goal was to pass the fifth grade.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After reading the note, I sat down with tears rolling down my face.

A 12-minute piece of music composed by Mozart has been discovered in a library in Germany. Researchers think the composer wrote the previously unknown piece-called Serenade in C-when he was a young teenager.
The composition was found in the holdings of Germany’s Leipzig Municipal Libraries-some 280 miles north of Salzburg, Austria, where Mozart was born in 1756. Although Mozart wrote this piece when he was only a teenager, it was not uncommon for him to write music in his childhood. Mozart began to perform around Austria from the age of five and shortly afterwards became famous as a composer.
Mozart probably wrote the recently discovered composition between the mid and late 1760s, according to a statement from the Leipzig Municipal Libraries. Library researchers were compiling (编辑) an edition of the Kochel catalog, a collection of Mozart’s works, when they came across a mysterious bound manuscript (装订好的手稿) containing a handwritten composition in brown ink. The composition is thought to have been written by Mozart. The handwriting, however, is not Mozart’s, suggesting that the manuscript is a copy of the original composition. The researchers think it was made around 1780.
The researchers say the music fits stylistically with other works from the 1760s, when Mozart was between the ages of 10 and13. The young composer was no longer creating pieces that sounded like this one by the time he was in his late teens.
In his early years, Mozart wrote many chamber works like Serenade in C, which his father recorded on a list of his son’s compositions. Many of these works were thought to have been lost to history. Luckily, this particular piece was saved–thanks to the composer’ s sister. “It looks as if a complete string trio (二重奏曲) has survived in Leipzig,” Leisinger, a worker from the International Mozarteum Foundation, says. “The source was obviously Mozart’s sister, who perhaps preserved the work in memory of her brother.”
4. What does the second paragraph intend to show about Mozart?
A. His talent at a young age. B. His connection to Salzburg.
C. His preference for performing. D. His popularity all around the world.
5. On what basis do the researchers date Serenade in C?
A. The title of the composition. B. The style of the composition.
C. The number in the Kochel catalog. D. The color of the ink used in the copy.
6. Why is Mozart’s sister mentioned?
A. She had a positive influence on Mozart.
B. She was the first to perform Serenade in C.
C. She helped Mozart compose Serenade in C.
D. She was the one who preserved Serenade in C.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Mozart’s Works Need Updating.
B. Mozart’s Works Attract New Attention.
C. A Lost Mozart Composition Was Discovered.
D. Researchers Uncovered the Early Life of Mozart.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Luckily, this particular piece was saved–thanks to the composer’ s sister. “It looks as if a complete string trio (二重奏曲) has survived in Leipzig,” Leisinger, a worker from the International Mozarteum Foundation, says. “The source was obviously Mozart’s sister, who perhaps preserved the work in memory of her brother.”(幸运的是,多亏了作曲家的妹妹,这首特别的乐曲得以保存下来。国际莫扎特基金会的工作人员Leisinger说:“看起来,一首完整的弦乐三重奏在莱比锡留存了下来。其来源显然是莫扎特的妹妹,她或许是为了纪念哥哥才保存了这部作品。”)”可知,多亏了作曲家的妹妹,这首特别的乐曲得以保存下来。国际莫扎特基金会的工作人员Leisinger说,看起来一首完整的弦乐三重奏在莱比锡留存了下来,其来源显然是莫扎特的妹妹,她或许是为了纪念哥哥才保存了这部作品。由此可知,提到莫扎特的妹妹是因为她是保存《C 大调小夜曲》的人。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章开篇点明莫扎特的一段12分钟的音乐在德国一家图书馆被发现,接着围绕这首被发现的乐曲,介绍了发现的地点、推测的创作时间、发现的过程以及乐曲能留存下来的原因等,主要讲述的是一首曾失传的莫扎特的乐曲被发现的事情。选项C“A Lost Mozart Composition Was Discovered(一首失传的莫扎特的乐曲被发现了)”准确概括了文章的主要内容,符合文章围绕这首被发现的乐曲展开叙述的主旨。故选C。

Throughout history, lions have represented courage and strength. Lions live in groups called prides, and the size of a pride depends on food availability, but a typical pride includes one to three males, a dozen females, and their cubs or young lions. Males are larger than females (lionesses). A lion’s body ranges in length from 4.5 to 6.5 feet, with a tail from 26 to 40 inches. Both males and females are powerful, muscular cats with rounded heads and ears. Only adult male lions display a brown, rust, or black mane (鼠毛) which extends down the neck and chest.
Lions’ diet consists of more than 70% meat. Lions prefer to hunt big animals including zebra, buffalo, and giraffe. They usually avoid very large(elephant) and very small(monkey) prey (猎物), but they’ll take farm animals. Lions most often hunt at dawn or dusk, but can adapt to their prey to change their schedule. When hunting, lionesses run from more than one direction to catch fleeing animals. Usually, prey is consumed at the hunting site.
Male lions tend to be four or five years old before winning a challenge and joining a pride. When a new male takes over a pride, he usually kills the youngest generation of cubs and drives away the adolescents. Most adult lions are killed by humans or other lions, although some die from injuries while hunting. Usually, about 80% of cubs die, but those that survive to adulthood may live to be 10 to 14 years of age. Some cubs are killed by hyenas and wild dogs.
The lion is listed as “vulnerable (易危的)” on the IUCN Red List. The wild population decreased by approximately 43% from 1993 to 2014. Although lions can tolerate a wide range of habitats, they are threatened because people continue to kill them and because of the lack of prey.
8. What do we know about lions according to paragraph 1?
A. They are social animals. B. They all have a nice mane.
C. They are known for their powerful tails. D. They have the same head and ear size.
9. How do lions typically get food?
A. By hunting on big farms. B. By hiding close to their prey.
C. By using tools to trap their prey. D. By catching their prey cooperatively.
10. What can be learned about cubs in paragraph 3?
A. They tend to live a very long life. B. Most of them are killed by other animals.
C. They face many threats before adulthood. D. They are carefully protected by their parents.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The shortage of available prey. B. Threatened habitats for lions.
C. The tough situation of the wild lion. D. Endangered animals on the IUCN Red List.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. C

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了狮子这一物种的相关信息,包括它们在历史中的象征意义、狮群的构成、狮子的体型特征、饮食习惯、狩猎方式、狮子的生命周期以及它们所面临的生存威胁等。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Lions live in groups called prides, and the size of a pride depends on food availability, but a typical pride includes one to three males, a dozen females, and their cubs or young lions.(狮子群居生活,它们的群体被称为狮群。狮群的规模取决于食物的可获取量,不过一个典型的狮群通常包括一到三只雄狮、十几只雌狮,以及它们的幼崽或小狮子。)”可知,狮子群居生活,它们的群体被称为狮群,一个典型的狮群包含一到三只雄狮、十几只雌狮以及它们的幼崽或小狮子。也就是说,狮子是群居动物。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When hunting, lionesses run from more than one direction to catch fleeing animals. Usually, prey is consumed at the hunting site.(捕猎时,母狮会从多个方向发起进攻,以围捕那些逃窜的动物。通常情况下,猎物会在捕猎地点被吃掉。)”可知,狮子在捕猎时,母狮会从多个方向奔跑来围捕逃窜的动物,这体现了狮子通过合作来捕捉猎物。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Most adult lions are killed by humans or other lions, although some die from injuries while hunting. Usually, about 80% of cubs die, but those that survive to adulthood may live to be 10 to 14 years of age. Some cubs are killed by hyenas and wild dogs.(大多数成年狮子会被人类或其他狮子杀死,不过也有一些狮子是在捕猎时因受伤而死亡。一般来说,大约80%的幼崽会夭折,但那些存活到成年的狮子可能会活到10到14岁。也有一些幼崽会被鬣狗和野狗杀死。)”可知,大部分幼崽会夭折,有些会被鬣狗和野狗杀死,新的雄狮接管狮群时也会杀死最年幼的幼崽,所以幼崽在成年之前面临着许多威胁。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“The lion is listed as “vulnerable (易危的)” on the IUCN Red List. The wild population decreased by approximately 43% from 1993 to 2014. Although lions can tolerate a wide range of habitats, they are threatened because people continue to kill them and because of the lack of prey(狮子在世界自然保护联盟濒危物种红色名录中被列为“易危”物种。从1993年到2014年,野生狮子的数量大约减少了43%。尽管狮子能够适应多种多样的栖息地,但它们仍然受到威胁,这是因为人类持续捕杀它们,并且它们的猎物也越来越少。)”可知,狮子在世界自然保护联盟濒危物种红色名录中被列为“易危”物种,从1993年到2014年野生狮子数量大约减少了43%,尽管狮子能适应多种栖息地,但它们因人类捕杀和猎物缺乏而受到威胁。整体在讲述野生狮子所面临的艰难处境。故选C。
D
Research has found that loneliness and social isolation are associated with an increased risk of conditions like anxiety, depression, heart disease, and stroke. In fact, a 2010 analysis found that loneliness is as harmful to physical health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day — meaning using friendship to reduce loneliness is good for you. But how many friends should you have?
According to Jeffrey Hall, a professor of communication studies at the University of Kansas, if you want to ease the health impacts of loneliness, the most important thing you can do is to have at least one important person in your life. But if you want to have the most meaningful life, one where you feel very bonded and connected to others, more friends are better.
Some research endorses his remarks. One study from 2016 found that those with at least six friends have better health throughout their lives, and a study from 2020 found that middle-aged women who have at least three friends typically have higher levels of overall satisfaction with their lives.
To figure out whether you need more friends in your life, psychologist Marisa Franco recommends asking yourself, “Do I feel lonely?” Loneliness is sort of an alarm system. While everyone feels lonely sometimes, you should determine whether you feel left out or isolated regularly.
Franco also recommends asking yourself if there are parts of your identity that you feel are restricted. “Different people bring out different parts of us. So when you have a large friend group, you’re able to experience this side of yourself that loves basketball, and that side of yourself that loves flowers,” Franco said. “If you’re not feeling quite like yourself, that might indicate you need different types of friends.”
Since making new friends can be difficult, Franco said it’s often easier to rekindle old relationships. She added that you should take the initiative and not assume that friendships will naturally happen.
“Ultimately, there ‘isn’t a magic number’ of friends for everyone,” Hall said. “Your personality and the characteristics of your life are going to make a difference.”
12. What might Jeffrey Hall agree with?
A. Having just one friend leads to more happiness.
B. Everyone’s ideal number of friends doesn’t vary.
C. A broad friend network enables strong connections.
D. Friendship should be prioritized in social relations.
13. What does the underlined word “endorses” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Creates. B. Supports. C. Satisfies. D. Introduces.
14. Which one suggests a person needs more friends according to Franco?
A. Continuous self-doubt. B. Few exciting experiences.
C. Ineffective social activities. D. Constant feelings of isolation.
15. What does Franco say about having a large friend group?
A. It requires befriending those with shared values.
B. It ensures personal growth by wide social circles.
C. It means a person won’t feel restricted any longer.
D. It helps explore different aspects of one’s personality.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是研究表明,好朋友能提高生活满意度和健康水平,心理学家建议多交朋友以抵御排斥感或孤立感,并更好地展现自我。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“According to Jeffrey Hall, a professor of communication studies at the University of Kansas, if you want to ease the health impacts of loneliness, the most important thing you can do is to have at least one important person in your life. But if you want to have the most meaningful life, one where you feel very bonded and connected to others, more friends are better.(根据堪萨斯大学传播学教授Jeffrey Hall的说法,如果你想减轻孤独对健康的影响,你能做的最重要的事情就是在你的生活中至少有一个重要的人。但如果你想拥有最有意义的生活,一个你感觉与他人紧密相连的生活,那么朋友越多越好。)”可知,Jeffrey Hall可能会同意的是广泛的朋友网络可以建立牢固的联系。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“One study from 2016 found that those with at least six friends have better health throughout their lives, and a study from 2020 found that middle-aged women who have at least three friends typically have higher levels of overall satisfaction with their lives.(2016年的一项研究发现,拥有至少6个朋友的人一生都更健康,2020年的一项研究发现,拥有至少3个朋友的中年女性通常对生活的总体满意度更高。)”可知,这些研究发现与Jeffrey Hall的观点相一致,因此,endorses意为“支持”,和supports意思相近。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“To figure out whether you need more friends in your life, psychologist Marisa Franco recommends asking yourself, “Do I feel lonely?”(为了弄清楚你的生活中是否需要更多的朋友,心理学家Marisa Franco建议你问问自己:“我感到孤独吗?”)”可知,Franco表示,为了弄清楚你的生活中是否需要更多的朋友,你应该确定自己是否经常感到被冷落或孤立。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Different people bring out different parts of us. So when you have a large friend group, you’re able to experience this side of yourself that loves basketball, and that side of yourself that loves flowers(不同的人展现出我们不同的一面。所以当你有一大群朋友的时候,你就能体会到自己热爱篮球的这一面,以及自己热爱鲜花的那一面)”可推断出,拥有一个大的朋友群有助于探索一个人性格的不同方面。故选D。

Sometimes it feels like the world runs on autopilot. Food comes from the supermarket, hospitals have life-saving devices, and a new smart phone can be sent to your home. None of this would exist, though, without abundant natural resources. ____16____ Others, like minerals, fossil fuels, and metals, are non-renewable. Could we face a world without these resources? Let’s see.
Oxygen is the third most abundant element in the universe. Earth’s oxygen levels have been decreasing for about a million years due to carbon emissions. Some researchers say we’ll soon run out of it. ____17____ If the Earth lost oxygen for five seconds, airplanes would crash, and buildings would turn to dust.
Water has been nourishing the Earth for 4.6 billion years. About 70% of the planet’s surface is made of this natural resource — that includes our oceans, seas, rivers and lakes. ____18____ However, over 95% is undrinkable. We face an increasing shortage of freshwater compared to the demand for it. If we ever do run out of water, experts predict catastrophes like war, starvation, and a global economic crash.
____19____ They, like coal, oil and natural gas, come from the remains of decaying (腐烂的) plants and animals. We rely on them for things like heat, energy and fuel. But our dependence on this non-renewable resource is decreasing our supply and contributing to climate change. Some scientists predict we could run out of them by 2060 if we don’t shift towards alternative energy.
A UN official confirmed that we might run out of soil in about 60 years. Global warming, deforestation (滥伐森林) and chemical farming all contribute to the destruction of soil, and, essentially, we are using soil faster than we can replenish (补充) it. We need healthy topsoil to grow about 95% of our food. ____20____
A. Once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.
B. Some, like the sun and wind, are renewable.
C. Fossil fuels have existed for millions of years.
D. It also exists in the atmosphere and beneath the ground.
E. But most scientists agree we are nowhere near a relevant crisis.
F. Nevertheless, all these depend on natural resources from the earth.
G. Without fertile planting grounds for crops, entire civilizations can be wiped out.
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. D 19. C 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了地球上几种重要的自然资源(氧气、水、化石燃料、土壤),指出人类对资源的过度消耗可能引发资源枯竭危机,并阐述了资源耗尽带来的严重后果。
【16题详解】
根据下文“Others, like minerals, fossil fuels, and metals, are non-renewable.(其他的,比如矿物、化石燃料和金属,是不可再生的。)”可知,上下文构成 some…others…(一些…… 另一些……) 的固定对比结构,空处应该讲部分资源是可再生的。B项“Some, like the sun and wind, are renewable.(有些资源,比如太阳能和风能,是可再生的。)”符合语境。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Some researchers say we’ll soon run out of it.(一些研究者称我们很快会耗尽氧气。)”和下文“If the Earth lost oxygen for five seconds, airplanes would crash, and buildings would turn to dust.( 如果地球失去氧气长达5秒,飞机会坠毁,建筑物会化为尘土。)”可知,上文提出“氧气即将耗尽”的悲观观点,下文又描述缺氧5秒的极端后果。空处需要转折,说明多数科学家并不认同这种危机,与上文形成观点对比。E项“But most scientists agree we are nowhere near a relevant crisis.(但大多数科学家认为,我们远未面临这种相关危机。)”符合语境。
【18题详解】
上文“About 70% of the planet’s surface is made of this natural resource — that includes our oceans, seas, rivers and lakes.(地球表面约70%都由这种自然资源构成——包括海洋、江河与湖泊。)”列举水存在于地表的江河湖海,空处补充水还存在于大气和地下,是对水资源存在范围的进一步拓展,语义顺承。D项“It also exists in the atmosphere and beneath the ground.(它也存在于大气和地下。)”符合语境。
【19题详解】
下文“They, like coal, oil and natural gas, come from the remains of decaying plants and animals.(它们,比如煤、石油和天然气,来自腐烂动植物的残骸。)”中的they指代空处的主语,且下文明确列举化石燃料种类,因此空处需要先引出化石燃料这一核心话题。C项“Fossil fuels have existed for millions of years.(化石燃料已经存在了数百万年。)”符合语境。
【20题详解】
上文“We need healthy topsoil to grow about 95% of our food.(我们需要健康的表土来种植约 95%的粮食。)”强调土壤对粮食种植至关重要,空处承接说明失去肥沃土地的严重后果,与上文形成因果逻辑。G项“Without fertile planting grounds for crops, entire civilizations can be wiped out.(没有肥沃的农作物种植土地,整个文明都可能被摧毁。)符合语境。

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲的是节日的起源、庆祝方式、习俗的演变、商业利用以及节日在社会中的重要作用。
【36题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:它们来自多种不同的源头,包括不同的季节、宗教、历史人物以及重大事件。source是可数名词,由various可知,空格处用复数。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:最常见的节日之一便是丰收节,几乎在所有文化中都会举行这一节日庆典,以感谢一年来的粮食收成。句中谓语是is,空格处用非谓语动词,harvest festival和celebrate之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此用过去分词表被动,作后置定语。
【38题详解】
考查时态、被动语态和主谓一致。句意:在古埃及,丰收节的庆祝活动包括游行和盛大的宴会,还有音乐、舞蹈和体育活动。空格处是谓语,由In ancient Egypt可知,时态是一般过去时,由by可知,要用被动语态,因此空格处用一般过去时的被动语态,主语the harvest festival是单数,因此空格处是was marked。
【39题详解】
考查不定式。句意:例如,为了减少空气污染,许多大城市已经取消了春节期间燃放鞭炮的习俗。此处表示“为了减少空气污染”,因此空格处用不定式表目的。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:同样,过去是宗教节日的万圣节,如今已成为孩子们喜爱的欢乐节日。空格处用副词similarly作状语,修饰整句话,意为“同样”,位于句首,首字母大写。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:企业已经开始利用节日来促进销售。make use of是固定短语,意为“利用”,因此空格处是介词of。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意:网络购物和社交媒体正在推动更多的消费。Online shopping and social media和drive之间是主谓关系,由are可知,时态是现在进行时,因此空格处是现在分词driving。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:有人认为节日不应被商业化,而另一些人则认为这对经济和公众娱乐都有益处。此处用形容词beneficial作see...as后的宾语补足语,beneficial意为“有益的”。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:节日在社会中起着重要的作用,它们反映了我们的愿望、信仰、信念和态度。play an important role in是固定短语,意为“在……中起着重要的作用”,因此空格处是an。
【45题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:它们让我们从忙碌的生活中暂时解脱出来,帮助我们了解自己是谁以及我们来自何方,并使我们能够理解不同的文化。“we came from”是宾语从句,此处表示“我们从哪里来”,因此用where引导宾语从句。

第二节(满分 25 分)
57. 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。
As teachers, we try hard year after year to help our students feel successful. But sometimes there comes one student that presents a challenge. A few years ago, I had that challenge. His name was David. Before school even started, his name had come before him. He had moved from another school into mine.
On the first day of school, all the excited students walked into the room longing to start: everyone but David. He had had a hard summer. His father was in jail (监狱). This angered him because his family was not together. His mother had to work nights, so she wasn’t there in the evening and was sleeping when he woke up. During the evenings, he lived with his sixteen-year old sister. I knew he got less support at home. But David was a bright student. All showed that.
So I began my challenge to help David achieve success. I liked him immediately and saw so much energy hidden behind an angry wall he had built up around himself. But David slowly quit doing his homework and began to get into more trouble. It was clear that he was looking for any kind of attention. I knew if David was going to pass the fifth grade, I needed to come up with a plan.
One day, David and I sat in the library and just talked. I told him that I knew that he was not an “F” student and that I didn’t want him to be suspended (停学). It was my job to teach him, but his job to try. We talked about his family and what he did after school. He wanted to do well. From then on, David and I often sat in the library and just talked. He knew what I expected from him and that I liked him.
As a result, he had a better performance in my class. But sometimes, he would talk back to other adults. I asked him why he had never talked back to me. He said I would not jump to conclusions without hearing his side of a story.
注意:1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式作答。
One day as we were having lunch together, he told me that his goal was to pass the fifth grade.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After reading the note, I sat down with tears rolling down my face.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 One day as we were having lunch together, he told me that his goal was to pass the fifth grade. His eyes sparkled with determination, and I could see that he was serious about it. I nodded and told him that I believed he could do it, and that I would be there to support him every step of the way. From that day on, David seemed to have a newfound motivation. He started completing his homework on time and even volunteered to help other students with their work. One day, I received a note from him.
After reading the note, I sat down with tears rolling down my face. It was a simple note, but it meant the world to me. David had written how much he appreciated my help and support, and how he was determined to make me proud. He had even included a small drawing of us sitting together in the library, with a big smile on both our faces. It was a reminder that sometimes, all a student needs is someone to believe in them and show them that they matter. I knew that I had made a difference in David’s life, and that was the greatest reward of all.
【解析】

②由第二段首句内容“读完这封便条后,我泪流满面地坐了下来。”可知,第二段可以写作者被纸条内容触动的情感、对David成长的感慨、对教育意义的思考。
2.续写线索:作者表示支持David——David充满动力——David的积极变化——描述便条的内容——便条的意义——感悟
3.词汇激活
