Excitement filled the air as we were aboard the ship to Antarctica,enjoying the warmth of the room.Then one momning we saw a sign announcing an open invitation to all passengers:Polar Plunge(极地跳水)at12:30. My husband and I stared at the sign.His face brightened,but I had a wave of panic in my stomach.Hundreds of reasons for not doing it filled my mind."No way,"I said."For starters,we're much too old.The water's freezing cold.Heights terrify me.I'm not much of a swimmer.Not only that,"I complained,"but it means I'd have to wear a swimsuit publicly with so many people looking at my fat body."He gave me a quick hug along with his appealing smile."We'll never have another chance,"he insisted,"I believe in us!"My determination gradually weakened.My heart"No way" gave way to a weak"Maybe".Finally I forced myself to say,"Okay.Let's go for it." Dressed in our swimsuits and shaking with anxiety,we gathered with the other participants in the lower part of the ship.I eyed the group.A daring teen tried to be first in line.A twenty-something woman in a bikini also stepped forward.The remaining few ranged in age from enthusiastic young people to middle-aged adults joking and laughing.We two eighty-year-olds were visibly the ancient,senior citizens of the group. Our tum came all too soon.We moved onto the jump-off point,legs shaking,but it was too late to tumn back.We held our hands together,took a deep breath,and took the Polar Plunge into the icy ocean.After what seemed a century,we rose to the surface and swam to the safety platform.Shaking and laughing,I shouted excitedly,"I can't believe I did that."That afternoon,I gained my fame and became the focus of the day. In my memory bank,I've stored that fame,and it will last the rest of my life.However,my one-time,completely wild risk is enough.Ah,but the brief moment of fame was so wonderful. 24.What caused the author to change her mind about Polar Plunge?

Tens of thousands of centuries-old books are being pulled from the shelves of a medieval abbey (中世纪修道院)in Hungary in an effort to save them from a beetle infestation(甲虫侵染)that could destroy centuries of history. Pannonhalma Archabbey,sitting upon a tall hill in northwestern Hungary,houses the country's oldest collection of books,as well as many of its earliest and most important written records.Any damage to the collection represents a blow to cultural and historical heritage.The beetle infestation was first discovered during a regular library cleaning.Employees noticed unusual layers of dust on the shelves.Upon opening the books,they saw small holes in the paper.Restoration workers are removing about 100,000 books from their shelves and carefully placing them in boxes,the start of a disinfection process that aims to kill the tiny beetles. To kill the beetles,the boxes of books are being placed into tall,airtight plastic bags from which all oxygen is removed.After six weeks in the pure nitrogen (environment,the abbey hopes all the beetles will be destroyed.Before being reshelved,each book will be individually checked and cleaned.Any book damaged by the beetles will be set aside for later restoration. The abbey,which hopes to reopen the library at the beginning of next year,believes the effects of climate change contributed to the beetle infestation as average temperatures rise rapidly in Hungary.Hajdu said higher temperatures have allowed the beetles to undergo several more development cycles annually than they could in cooler weather. 28.Why does the author mention the Pannonhalma Archabbey in paragraph 2? A.To stress the historical value of the abbey. B.To show the challenge of restoring the collection. C.To show the severity of the beetle infestation. D.To stress the significance of saving the books. 29.What is the correct order of the disinfection process? a.Put the books into boxes. b.Check and clean the books c.Restore the damaged books d.Expose the books to nitrogen for six weeks. e.Put the boxes into oxygen-free bags 第6页共10页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP A.a-c-d-b-c.

C.It makes beetles in the books live longer. D.It attracts beetles to the ancient building. 31.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Nitrogen is used to protect ancient books in the world. B.Centuries-old books are being saved from a beetle infestation. C.Pannonhalma Archabbey's medieval library is of historical significance. D.Climate change threatens old books and worsens the beetle infestation. D In the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve,millions of monarch butterflies find shelter in the oyamel fir(奥亚梅尔冷杉)forests after a tough migration(迁移，迁徙)from Canada and the United States down to Mexico for the winter.Now,as rising temperatures,droughts,and disease threaten the forests of the monarch reserve,scientists are hoping to help these trees migrate. "We're doing something different,"says Saenz-Romero,a researcher of the reserve."If we don't do this,the trees in the monarch reserve are going to die."By 2090,the reserve's forest habitats are expected to deteriorate,as temperatures warm.Using a technique called assisted migration,researchers might be able to move these trees to the nearby volcano. Forests move naturally;they shift in many directions and altitudes (as climate changes. Assisted migration helps the forest move more quickly than it would do so naturally.You collect seeds from a place with a specific climate,like the monarch reserve,and move them to an area that will have a similar climate in the future,explains Saenz-Romero. The experiment began in 2017,when Saenz-Romero and his team gathered seeds from oyamel fir trees in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve at various altitudes.For two years,the plants grew in a shade house and then for another year in a nursery at around 9,800 feet to help them adjust to the altitude.Then,in 2021,they worked with the local community to plant the seedlings ( under "nurse plants",which protected them from difficult conditions.In 2023,six years after planting the seeds,they found that at two of those heights,11,800 and 12,400 feet,nearly 70 percent of the seedlings had survived even at the higher elevation. "These types of experiments are tremendously important,"says Sally Aitken,who wasn't involved in the study."However,assisted migration outside of a tree's normal range comes with concemns.Oyamel firs don't normally grow at this height on Nevado de Toluca's slopes.Moving a species could have unintended ecological fallout (for other species present in that ecosystem." 第6页共10页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP For now,in Mexico,Saenz-Romero hopes this new study convinces conservationists and government officials that assisted migration can establish new potential wintering sites for the monarch butterflies. 32.What does the undcrlined word"deteriorate"in paragraph 2.mean? A.Form. B.Expand. C.Worsen. D.Melt. 33.What can we learn about assisted migration from the cxperiment? A.It has achieved some intended targets. B.It expands the species of nurse plants. C.It takes way too much time and effort. D.It saved monarch butterflies worldwide 34.What might assisted migration lead to according to Sally Aitken? A.Presence of new species. B.Change of the local weather. C.Reduction of oyamel firs. D.Disturbance of the ecosystem. 35.What does Saenz-Romero suggest Mexican officials do? A.Build more natural reserves for the monarch butterflies. B.Support assisied migration to protect monarch butterflies. C.Learn more relevant knowledge about insect conservation. D.Convince conservationists to estabiish observational centers. 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。 How to Wake Up Feeling Motivated We've all been there.The alarm goes off in the moming and we repeatedly hit that stop button to enjoy a few more minutes of precious sleep.However,it isn't always the besi way to start the day.

One summer,my parents were busy with their work and asked me to stay with my grandfather during the summer vacation.I had no choice but to agree,though I was far from happy about it.On the first morning,.he handed me a small shovel(铲子)and said,“Yyou're going to help me today.”I sighed quietly,feeling unwilling and even a little upset. The sun was burning hot.We pulled weeds,carried water,and loosened the soil.My back hurt, my hands got dirty and sweat ran down my face.I wanted to give up many times,but I saw my grandfather kept working silently.His back was bent,but he never stopped.I felt a little ashamed and continued. I soon discovered that the garden was actually a lively little world hidden from plain(平谈无奇 )sight.I watched with amazement as a ladybug crawled slowly across a leaf.I even found a small snail shell hidden under a stone and watched the dewdrops shone like diamonds in the early morning sun.Everything in the garden has its own characteristics.It was through labor that I discovered its beauty and that labor brought the garden to life. 注意：1.续写词数应为150词左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One morning,my grandfather found a juicy red tomato in the garden.
