The Saimaa ringed seal was once common around Lake Saimaa in the south-east of Finland,but now only 495 of them remain.In the late 1980s the population of the seals decreased to its lowest point,with fewer than 200 left,driven by hunting and deaths caused by fish traps.Accidental deaths in fishing nets remain a challenge.Now,the seals are fully protected but the threat of the climate emergency is worrying. The seals make"snow caves"inside snow drifts where they raise their young and protect them from the elements and predators such as red foxes,but as the climate.warms,the snow is disappearing. To save these rare seals,300 volunteers spend days shovelling snow into piles 7m long and 1.5m high around the edge of the frozen lake."It's kind of a snow cave,"says Vincent Biard,a PhD student and volunteer from the University of Eastern Finland."The seals come from under and dig into the snow drifts to create a cave where they can give birth and raise their young."They get around on foot or skis,dragging their equipment with them over a distance of 10km Biard describes the day as"kind of fun",and adds, "you actually have an impact,which is iee If we don't do it,then they would just go extinct quite quickly.” More than 300 pups have been born in artificial snowdrifts since they started making them in 2014. "We are on a rising growth curve,so things still look pretty nice,"says Jari Ilmonen,coordinator of Our Saimaa Seal Life,which is an EU-funded programme."We are doing what we can,so we have to have hope and positive thoughts."Human-made snow drifts are larger and"more durable than natural snow drifts",says Ilmonen."By the first half of February most of the natural ones had melted away,but the manmade ones stood strong." 28.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A.The two functions of snow drifts. B.The threats to the Saimaa ringed seals. C.The big concern about global warming. D.The full recovery of the seals'population. 29.Which of the following can best describe the work of the volunteers? A.Effective but boring. B.Valuable but impractical. C.Demanding but fulfilling. D.Dangerous but enjoyable. 30.What does Ilmonen-say about manmade snow drifts? A.They can help all marine life survive winters. B.They are more comfortable than natural ones. C.They will not melt until the end of the spring. D.They have seen progress in protecting the seals. 31 What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A.To celebrate an effort to protect wildlife B.To introduce one of endangered animals C.To explain benefits of artificial snowdrifts. D.To raise the awareness of the climate crisis. 英语科试题卷第5页共10页 D Light pollution has increased by about 10 percent each year over the past decade.Researchers based at the Chinese Academy of Sciences were curious about how light might affect relationships between insects and plants.They noticed that tree leaves in cities typically showed fewer signs of insect damage than those outside of cities,so they analyzed leaf samples from trees throughout Beijing. Focusing on two common street trees-the Japanese pagoda and green ash tree-at 30 sites spaced apart along main roads lit at night,the researchers measured brightness and collected leaves.They evaluated almost 5,500 leaves for size,toughness,and levels of nutrients and chemicals,and analyzed them for signs of insect activity. Examining leaf features can tell scientists a lot about how that plant is using resources.Plants grow differently depending on factors in their environment,and they distribute their limited resources among various functions like growth,reproduction,and defense. For both species of trees the researchers studied,more artificial light meant tougher leaves.And the tougher the leaf,the less evidence of hungry insects.In areas with the most intense light,leaves were more likely to have no signs of insect predation()."This research needs to be expanded to other plant species,"said Shuang Zhang,biologist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences."If artificial light at night also makes the leaves of other species tougher,this would be bad news for insects."Changes in plants,and in interactions between plants and animals,can significantly impact the entire urban ecosystem. A poor diet might cause plant-eating insects to die off,resulting in fewer insects that prey on those plant-eating insects,and fewer insect-eating birds,and so on up the food chain.Beyond forming a crucial link in the food web,plant-eating insects sometimes pollinate )flowers and contribute to biodiversity. The study found a linear relationship between brightness at night and hew mueh leaves were eaten bv insects,so just reducing light intensity could make leaves more appealing to insects.To minimize the negative impacts of light at night,Zhang recommends simply reducing light intensity.We should focus on lighting only what and when it is needed.Motion sensors could also help,as could covers for streetlights, so light doesn't spill into surrounding areas. 32.What drew the researchers'attention to tree leaves in cities? A.They took on different shapes. B.They grew faster with light on. C.They showed no signs of diseases. D.They were less damaged by insects. 33.What is Shuang Zhang's concern according to paragraph 4?. A.Insects will adapt to tougher leaves quickly. B.Plants will stop growing in areas with intense light. C.Tougher leaves could affect the urban ecosystem. D.Artificial light may change how plants use resources. 34.What does the underlined word"linear"in the last paragraph mean? A.Complex. B.Direct. C.Natural. D.Positive. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Little Insects Make a Big Difference B.Less Light Pollution Makes for a Better City C.Artificial Lights:The Root Cause of Insect Extinction D.Streetlights Influence Nature:From Leaves to Insects 英语科试题卷第6页共10页 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Why Literature Matters When we think of literature,we often picture dusty books on library shelves-stories written long ago by authors we'll never meet.It speaks to us across time and space,offering both escape and understanding. Good literature serves as both a niirror and a window.As a mirror,it reflects our own experiences back to us. We recognize ourselves in their struggles and joys,feeling less alone in the world.This connection can be deeply comforting,especially during the confusing years of adolescence. 38 It allows us to step into lives completely different from our own.We can walk through the streets of Victorian London with Charles Dickens,feel the weight of racism with Maya Angelou,or experience the challenges of immigrating to a new country with contemporary authors.Through these literary joumeys,our capacity for empathy grows. Reading literature also strengthens our minds in unique ways.Unlike watching a film.where images are provided for us,reading requires us to actively build worlds in our imagination.39 This mental exercise helps develop critical thinking skills that are valuable in every area of life. In a world of quick clicks,literature invites us to slow down.It asks us to sit with complex ideas and to care about people who exist only on pages. A.Perhaps that is why literature truly matters. B.Literature,however,is far from dust or distance. C.This process improves concentration and creativity. B.Literature also builds empathy by acting as a window. E.We see characters facing dilemmas similar to our own. F.It helps us understand the world through different eyes. G.Young people today read less than previous generations. 第三部分语言知识运用（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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 Dogs are not allowed off-leash in the Nature Reserve in Lewes,England.So dog owners were 41 when they were told their dogs could run free in the reserve,as long as the pups would wear backpacks filled with 42.

"Black out!"Mary gasped fearfully,the wind roaring and the rain beating on the roof and windows, which made her even more nervous in the whole darkness.Mum took Mary's hand and carefully led her to sit on the sofa,trying her best to comfort her.While she performed calmly,Mary could tell she was nervous too."Let's try to find a light source first and then see what other supplies we have."Dad made an 英语科试题卷第9页共10页 arrangement.Luckily,there was a flashlight,some packages of instant noodles,bread and some drinking water,which may help them get through the toughness for the half of the night.Without saying a single word,Dad turned on the flashlight,sat down and hugged his wife and daughter.The sudden silence in the house seemed to make the wind and rain more frightening outside.Only the light of the flashlight could now give them some warmth and a sense of little hope.
