Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop. Hereford, Herefordshire Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you’ll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there. Ludlow, Shropshire Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September. Shrewsbury, Shropshire Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere—hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters—just what you imagine in an attractive English market town. Mevagissey, Cornwall Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you’ve probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. It’s delicious. 1.

One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there. (赫里福德大教堂是镇上最令人印象深刻的建筑。它还拥有一座古老的图书馆，《大宪章》的四份原始副本之一便陈列于此)”可知，在赫里福德大教堂可以找到《大宪章》的原始副本。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Shrewsbury, Shropshire部分中“The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. (塞文河在流经小镇时出现一个明显的转弯，几乎将什鲁斯伯里镇中心变成一座孤岛。这种地形造就了一个绝佳的集市，在这里，人们可以借助这条河流作为运输通道来收发货物)”可知，什鲁斯伯里镇中心几乎被水包围。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mevagissey, Cornwall部分中“Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Comish pie. It’s delicious. (离开港口前一定要尝尝传统的康沃尔馅饼。它很美味)”可知，作者建议游客在梅瓦吉西一定要尝尝康沃尔馅饼。故选A项。 B We’ve all heard the stories of an actor’s struggles before a career breakthrough: living a hard life, working part time, being a couch potato before getting that major role. Shelby, the star of “A Dog’s Way Home,” has a hard-luck story that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill(垃圾填埋场), looking through rubbish for her next meal. Shelby’s big break came in April 2017, when animal-control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County, Tennessee. Out on an unrelated call, Buhler found what she recalled was an obviously scared puppy appearing from the landfill. “I just said, ‘Oh, come here, baby,’ ” said Buhler. “She was so scared, but she came right up to me, and I was able to put her in my truck.” The pair headed to the county animal shelter, where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl. Buhler and others didn’t know that 3,200 kilometers away, Hollywood was looking for a dog to play Bella in a film written by Cathryn Michon. The find-a-Bella job went to Teresa Ann Miller. Her job was to search shelters nationwide for a dog that could play Bella. One day, Miller found Baby Girl’s adoption photo. “Honestly, it was a really good picture, and she was flat-out smiling,” Miller said. Then she met Baby Girl, and tested her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands. After the test, she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter, renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training. Miller and Shelby trained for just over three months before filming began. Then they were together each day on the set. Most of the film’s reviews have praised Shelby’s performance. Variety made the comments “an amazing dog, perfect performance!” Shelby has come a long way from the landfill. But Buhler said she saw Shelby recently and needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash. “She’s exactly the same,” Buhler said. 4. Where did Buhler get the puppy? A. In a landfill. B. In an animal shelter. C. In a training house. D. In a film studio. 5. What finally helped Baby Girl get the big role in the film? A. Her adoption picture. B. Her flat-out smiling. C. Her personality and ability. D. Her terrible experiences. 6. What does Buhler probably mean by saying “She’s is exactly the same” in the last paragraph? A. Shelby returned to where she was found. B. It cost a lot to change Shelby’s fate. C. Shelby’s inner qualities hasn’t changed. D. She was really excited to see the dog again. 7. What is probably the best title of this passage? A. The Success of “A Dog’s Way Home”. B. From a Landfill Puppy to a Movie Star. C. The Trainer and Her Star Dog. D. Shelby’s Hard-luck and miserable Story. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述狗狗Shelby是如何从垃圾填埋场的流浪狗变成一个成功的演员的。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Out on an unrelated call, Buhler found what she recalled was an obviously scared puppy appearing from the landfill.(在一个不相关的电话中，Buhler发现她回忆的是一只明显受到惊吓的小狗从垃圾填埋场出现)”可知，Buhler是在垃圾填埋场遇见小狗的。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Then she met Baby Girl, and tested her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands. After the test, she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter, renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training.(然后她遇到了Baby Girl，并测试了她的性格和对简单命令做出反应的能力。测试结束后，她从收容所收养了Baby Girl，给她改名为Shelby，并带她去加州接受训练)”可知，Baby Girl的个性和能力最终帮助她在电影中扮演了重要角色。故选C。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“But Buhler said she saw Shelby recently and needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash.(但Buhler说，她最近看到了Shelby，她只需要一秒钟就可以把这位电影明星和她从垃圾堆里找到的狗狗做了比较)”可知，划线句“She’s exactly the same(她完全一样)”意思是它还是那只狗，它的生活的戏剧性变化并没有改变它的内在品质。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Shelby, the star of ‘A Dog’s Way Home,’ has a hard-luck story that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill(垃圾填埋场), looking through rubbish for her next meal.(电影《狗狗回家的路》中的明星Shelby的不幸经历可能会超过所有人。在获得重大突破之前，她住在垃圾填埋场，在垃圾中寻找下一顿饭)”可知，文章主要讲述了一只名为Shelby的狗是如何从垃圾填埋场的流浪狗变成一个成功的演员的。由此可知，B项“从垃圾填埋场的小狗到电影明星”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。 C When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry. “Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body. “Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.” If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. 8. How was Detrinidad’s business when it started? A. It faced tough competition. B. It suffered a great loss. C. It got lots of financial support. D. It went surprisingly well. 9. What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants? A. They appeal more to students. B. They purify the environment. C. They raise the cortisol level. D. They enhance productivity. 10. What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers? A. The necessity of social skills. B. The meaning of sustainability. C. The importance of repeated efforts. D. The value of professional opinions. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Time to Replace Houseplants B. Plants Boost Your Mood C. Tips on Choosing Houseplants D. Plants Brighten Your Home 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过Detrinidad的创业经历和专家研究，说明室内植物对人们心理健康和工作效率的积极影响，以及近年来居家趋势推动了室内植物产业的发展。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. (当Sonja Detrinidad开设她的网店售卖室内植物时，她并没有抱太大的期望。但结果却恰恰相反：订单如潮水般涌来，仅在2020年6月就寄出了1200份订单)”可知，Sonja Detrinidad刚开始开网店卖室内植物时，并没有抱太大希望，但实际情况是订单很多，生意出奇地好。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的““Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”(Knuth表示：“身处植物周围的学生，其学业表现比在没有植物的教室里的学生更出色。这种效率提升同样适用于成年人的工作场合。我们的研究显示，在植物丰富的工作环境中，人们的病假率降低了 30%。”)”可知，Knuth的研究发现，接触植物的学生学业表现更好，成年人在植物丰富的工作环境中生产率提高，病假率降低，因此，“植物能提升生产率”是她的发现之一。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. (Detrinidad说：“医生需要不断实践医术，律师需要持续精进法律实务，而养护植物同样需要给自己练习的机会。照料植物是一种培养耐心和学习的过程。要用心呵护它，但如果它枯萎了，就再养一株新的。”)”可知，Detrinidad通过类比医生和律师需要不断实践来强调“照顾植物需要反复尝试”。她认为养植物失败是正常的，重要的是持续努力。由此推断，她提到医生和律师是为了解释“重复努力的重要性”。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段以Detrinidad的成功为例引出室内植物行业的兴起，第二段至第三段通过Knuth的研究说明植物能通过降低皮质醇水平改善心情、提升生产率，第四段鼓励人们尝试养植物。全文核心围绕“植物对情绪和健康的积极影响”展开。选项B“Plants Boost Your Mood (植物改善你的情绪)”最能概括文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选B。 D About 20,000 years ago,much of Europe,Asia,North and South America was covered by huge sheets (片) of ice,each many kilometres thick.Since then,the ice has gradually melted and the ice sheets have retreated.Today,the only ice sheets on Earth’s land masses are found in Antarctica and Greenland.Some ice also occurs as glaciers in mountainous regions and as floating ice floes (浮冰块) in the Arctic Ocean and around Antarctica. At first sight,these remote left-overs from the last Ice Age seem of little importance for most of us today.However,nothing could be further from the truth.Many scientists believe that our planet is warming as a result of the greenhouse gases that we are pumping into the atmosphere.If the planet becomes warmer,the ice sheets will start to melt,causing sea level to rise perhaps several metres by the end of this century.Such a rise would cause widespread flooding of low-lying coastal areas and threaten many large cities. Observations from space suggest that parts of the major ice sheets are beginning to melt more rapidly.Meanwhile,recent satellite images have also shown that unusually large areas of sea ice have been melting during the Arctic summer.Although sea level will not be affected by the melting of the floating ice,there will be other important environmental changes.For example,ice sheets act like a mirror,reflecting sunlight and cooling Earth.If the ice disappears,Earth is likely to become warmer and major climate changes could occur.Wildlife living in the polar regions may also be destroyed. 12. What does the underlined word “retreated” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Grown. B. Reduced. C. Formed. D. Disappeared. 13. What’s most common people’s attitude towards the ice sheets? A. Optimistic. B. Critical. C. Sincere. D. Unconcerned. 14. What would happen if the greenhouse gases continue to increase? A. Vast amounts of land will be flooded. B. Large cities in the world will disappear. C. The sea level will drop to its lowest level. D. Global temperatures will see ups and downs. 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Ice sheets melt faster than floating ice. B. The melting of floating ice isn’t damaging. C. Sea ice melting will have disastrous effects. D. Space research contributes to climate changes. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。地球上冰层的融化可能导致海平面加速上升,物种大量消失,人类生活面临灾难。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。由第一段的描述以及该段中的“the ice has gradually melted”可知,冰逐渐融化。所以冰盖已经减少了。故划线词的意思是减少。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段中的“At first sight,these remote left-overs from the last Ice Age seem of little importance for most of us today”可知,乍一看,这些从冰河时代留下来的冰原对我们大多数人来说似乎意义不大,由此可推断,大多数人并不关心冰原的存在。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段中的“our planet is warming as a result of the greenhouse gases”和“If the planet becomes warmer...would cause widespread flooding of low-lying coastal areas and threaten many large cities”可知,如果大气中的温室气体继续增加,地球将会变得更温暖,冰原开始融化,海平面将会上升,这会使得低洼的沿海地区洪水泛滥,甚至会威胁到很多大城市。由此判断出大量的土地会被淹没。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“If the ice disappears,Earth is likely to become warmer and major climate changes could occur.Wildlife living in the polar regions may also be destroyed”可知,如果冰层消失，地球可能会变暖，气候可能发生重大变化，生活在极地的野生动物也可能遭到破坏。由此判断出地球上冰层的融化和消失将会带来灾难性的后果。故选C。 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 Can You Create Luck in Everyday Life?

It was our first day to explore the city of Moscow on our own, without a friend or tour guide leading the way. My husband and I had completed a week-long tour and felt confident that we could wander through the streets by ourselves now. We had enjoyed a full day of exploration when suddenly the sky turned from clear blue to gray. “It’s time to head back!” I said. As we went on along the road to our hotel, Kvart, the storm clouds covered the entire sky, and the first raindrops began to hit our heads. “Should we grab a taxi?” I yelled, the rain being so loud that I had to raise my voice. “No, we can make it,” my husband boomed back. “It’s only a twenty-minute walk.” As the rain and wind increased, so did our footsteps. The streets had turned into roaring rivers that quickly soaked our shoes. Suddenly, the biggest eruption of thunder I had ever experienced sounded directly above us! I thought my heart truly stopped for- that moment. We hurried forward, but it wasn’t long before we realized that we had been walking much longer than it should have taken us to reach our hotel. Where on earth did we take the wrong turn? We had not bought international phone cards, so we couldn’t call for help, and the streets were empty. Suddenly we noticed some lights on at a gas station. Great, at least we could ask someone there for help! As we approached it, two men were refueling their Chevrolet car. We asked them how to get to Kvart. They didn’t reply but managed a friendly no d and smile. We went on to explain the situation with the few awkward Russian phrases we had just learned. They listened intently, but it was obvious that they were becoming increasingly confused. We had to try our luck back on the street, praying deep down, “Please, send angels to lead us back.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右;. (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Then a familiar Chevrolet-car pulled up besides us... ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally they understood what we meant. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Then a familiar Chevrolet car pulled up beside us. It was the same car we had seen earlier at the gas station. The driver rolled down the window and waved at us with the other man beside him, saying a few words in Russian. Although we didn’t understand the language, we quickly resorted to gestures, wanting to grasp the last straw. Suddenly, my husband got an idea. He rummaged through the bag, pulled out the hotel card and pointed frantically to it with the repeated word “Kvart”, hoping they would understand. Thankfully, the driver nodded and the other man typed Kvart into his phone map and and showed us, as if asking us for confirmation. Seeing this, we nodded desperately and gave thumbs-up signs. Finally they understood what we meant. And more fortunately, they offered to escort us back to the hotel. The driver started the engine and the other man beside him occasionally glanced at us with a reassuring smile. We felt safe and secure, though the streets were still deserted and the rain was relentless. After what seemed like an eternity, we arrived and the rain began to let up. The driver parked the car and opened the door for us. We thanked them profusely, but they just smiled and left. We walked into the hotel, feeling exhausted but grateful. Angels had led us back to safety, and we knew that it was because we had trusted and believed in them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和丈夫在莫斯科旅行，半路下起了暴雨，两人被困在路上，还迷了路。这时一个好心的司机帮助了他们，送他们回到了安全的地方。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，一辆熟悉的雪佛兰汽车停在了我们旁边”可知，第一段可描写他们和司机交流的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们终于明白了我们的意思”可知，第二段可描写司机安全送回了他们，他们十分感激。 2.续写线索：司机出现——语言不通——指认地图——司机护送——作者感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：grasp/seize ②求助于：resort to/turn to ③输入：type/text 情绪类 ①幸运：fortunately/luckily ②感谢：thank/show gratitude to 【点睛】[高分句型1] Although we didn’t understand the language, we quickly resorted to gestures, wanting to grasp the last straw.

Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop. Hereford, Herefordshire Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you’ll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there. Ludlow, Shropshire Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September. Shrewsbury, Shropshire Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere—hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters—just what you imagine in an attractive English market town. Mevagissey, Cornwall Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you’ve probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. It’s delicious. 1.

B We’ve all heard the stories of an actor’s struggles before a career breakthrough: living a hard life, working part time, being a couch potato before getting that major role. Shelby, the star of “A Dog’s Way Home,” has a hard-luck story that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill(垃圾填埋场), looking through rubbish for her next meal. Shelby’s big break came in April 2017, when animal-control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County, Tennessee. Out on an unrelated call, Buhler found what she recalled was an obviously scared puppy appearing from the landfill. “I just said, ‘Oh, come here, baby,’ ” said Buhler. “She was so scared, but she came right up to me, and I was able to put her in my truck.” The pair headed to the county animal shelter, where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl. Buhler and others didn’t know that 3,200 kilometers away, Hollywood was looking for a dog to play Bella in a film written by Cathryn Michon. The find-a-Bella job went to Teresa Ann Miller. Her job was to search shelters nationwide for a dog that could play Bella. One day, Miller found Baby Girl’s adoption photo. “Honestly, it was a really good picture, and she was flat-out smiling,” Miller said. Then she met Baby Girl, and tested her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands. After the test, she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter, renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training. Miller and Shelby trained for just over three months before filming began. Then they were together each day on the set. Most of the film’s reviews have praised Shelby’s performance. Variety made the comments “an amazing dog, perfect performance!” Shelby has come a long way from the landfill. But Buhler said she saw Shelby recently and needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash. “She’s exactly the same,” Buhler said. 4. Where did Buhler get the puppy? A. In a landfill. B. In an animal shelter. C. In a training house. D. In a film studio. 5. What finally helped Baby Girl get the big role in the film? A. Her adoption picture. B. Her flat-out smiling. C. Her personality and ability. D. Her terrible experiences. 6. What does Buhler probably mean by saying “She’s is exactly the same” in the last paragraph? A. Shelby returned to where she was found. B. It cost a lot to change Shelby’s fate. C. Shelby’s inner qualities hasn’t changed. D. She was really excited to see the dog again. 7. What is probably the best title of this passage? A. The Success of “A Dog’s Way Home”. B. From a Landfill Puppy to a Movie Star. C. The Trainer and Her Star Dog. D. Shelby’s Hard-luck and miserable Story. C When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry. “Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body. “Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.” If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. 8. How was Detrinidad’s business when it started? A. It faced tough competition. B. It suffered a great loss. C. It got lots of financial support. D. It went surprisingly well. 9. What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants? A. They appeal more to students. B. They purify the environment. C. They raise the cortisol level. D. They enhance productivity. 10. What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers? A. The necessity of social skills. B. The meaning of sustainability. C. The importance of repeated efforts. D. The value of professional opinions. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Time to Replace Houseplants B. Plants Boost Your Mood C. Tips on Choosing Houseplants D. Plants Brighten Your Home D About 20,000 years ago,much of Europe,Asia,North and South America was covered by huge sheets (片) of ice,each many kilometres thick.Since then,the ice has gradually melted and the ice sheets have retreated.Today,the only ice sheets on Earth’s land masses are found in Antarctica and Greenland.Some ice also occurs as glaciers in mountainous regions and as floating ice floes (浮冰块) in the Arctic Ocean and around Antarctica. At first sight,these remote left-overs from the last Ice Age seem of little importance for most of us today.However,nothing could be further from the truth.Many scientists believe that our planet is warming as a result of the greenhouse gases that we are pumping into the atmosphere.If the planet becomes warmer,the ice sheets will start to melt,causing sea level to rise perhaps several metres by the end of this century.Such a rise would cause widespread flooding of low-lying coastal areas and threaten many large cities. Observations from space suggest that parts of the major ice sheets are beginning to melt more rapidly.Meanwhile,recent satellite images have also shown that unusually large areas of sea ice have been melting during the Arctic summer.Although sea level will not be affected by the melting of the floating ice,there will be other important environmental changes.For example,ice sheets act like a mirror,reflecting sunlight and cooling Earth.If the ice disappears,Earth is likely to become warmer and major climate changes could occur.Wildlife living in the polar regions may also be destroyed. 12. What does the underlined word “retreated” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Grown. B. Reduced. C. Formed. D. Disappeared. 13. What’s most common people’s attitude towards the ice sheets? A. Optimistic. B. Critical. C. Sincere. D. Unconcerned. 14. What would happen if the greenhouse gases continue to increase? A. Vast amounts of land will be flooded. B. Large cities in the world will disappear. C. The sea level will drop to its lowest level. D. Global temperatures will see ups and downs. 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Ice sheets melt faster than floating ice. B. The melting of floating ice isn’t damaging. C. Sea ice melting will have disastrous effects. D. Space research contributes to climate changes. 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 Can You Create Luck in Everyday Life? What is luck?

It was our first day to explore the city of Moscow on our own, without a friend or tour guide leading the way. My husband and I had completed a week-long tour and felt confident that we could wander through the streets by ourselves now. We had enjoyed a full day of exploration when suddenly the sky turned from clear blue to gray. “It’s time to head back!” I said. As we went on along the road to our hotel, Kvart, the storm clouds covered the entire sky, and the first raindrops began to hit our heads. “Should we grab a taxi?” I yelled, the rain being so loud that I had to raise my voice. “No, we can make it,” my husband boomed back. “It’s only a twenty-minute walk.” As the rain and wind increased, so did our footsteps. The streets had turned into roaring rivers that quickly soaked our shoes. Suddenly, the biggest eruption of thunder I had ever experienced sounded directly above us! I thought my heart truly stopped for- that moment. We hurried forward, but it wasn’t long before we realized that we had been walking much longer than it should have taken us to reach our hotel. Where on earth did we take the wrong turn? We had not bought international phone cards, so we couldn’t call for help, and the streets were empty. Suddenly we noticed some lights on at a gas station.

They listened intently, but it was obvious that they were becoming increasingly confused. We had to try our luck back on the street, praying deep down, “Please, send angels to lead us back.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右;. (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Then a familiar Chevrolet-car pulled up besides us... ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally they understood what we meant. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
