You can use the main A-Z of the dictionary to help you: Choose your words carefully. Many words in English have similar or related meanings, but they are used in different contexts or situations. Look carefully at the example sentences provided in the entries for words you want to use. If you need academic vocabulary, look for the AW symbol. Combine words naturally and effectively. In English, certain pairs of words go together and sound natural to native speakers (for example, heavy rain) — and others do not (strong rain). Information on which words can be paired with one another can be found in the example sentences in the dictionary entries. Become more flexible. Rather than repeating the same word or phrase many times in your work, try to find other ways to express your ideas. Look for SYN symbol to find synonyms(同义词) and also study the synonym notes. Look for word families and try using words in the same family that are different parts of speech (e.g. different, adjective and differ, verb). Edit and check your work. You can use your dictionary to check any problem areas such as spelling, parts of speech, irregular forms, grammar, phrasal verbs, and prepositions. In the following sections you will find examples of essays and practical types of writing that you can use as models for your own work. You will also find advice on planning, organizing and writing each type of text.

What can you do to reduce repetition in your writing? A. Correct potential problems in advance. B. Use synonyms or explore word families. C. Ensure accurate and natural word pairings. D. Analyze examples of word usage in context. 22. Which page should you refer to if you need to write an essay comparing two things? A. WT7. B. WT10. C. WT23. D. WT25. 23. Where is this text probably taken from ? A. A creative writing magazine. B. A scientific report. C. A dictionary’s writing guide. D. A promotion handbook. 【答案】21. B 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲的是字典在英语写作中的重要作用，以及如何利用字典辅助写作，同时还介绍了相关写作指导内容目录。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Look for SYN symbol to find synonyms (同义词) and also study the synonym notes. Look for word families and try using words in the same family that are different parts of speech (e.g. different, adjective and differ, verb).(查找“SYN”符号以找到同义词，同时也要研读同义词注释。寻找词族，并尝试使用同一词族中不同词性（例如，不同的“different”（形容词）和“differ”（动词）的单词)”可知，你可以使用同义词或者探索词族来减少文章中的重复内容。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Contents表格内容“Writing a comparison essay  WT10 (撰写一篇对比类议论文（WT10）) ”可知，写一篇对比两样事物的文章需要参考WT10。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Whether you are writing a business email or a long research essay, the dictionary can be a powerful tool to assist you in becoming a better writer in English.(无论您是在撰写商务邮件还是长篇研究论文，词典都可成为帮助您提升英语写作水平的强大工具)”可知，这段文字可能出自一本词典的写作指南。 B In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eyes proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn’t really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegan said. However, baking was something that always brought her joy as a child. One day while helping out in the neighborhood, Deegan picked up a handheld mixer and started baking. “My life was just out of control, but baking is such a controlled thing, where if you take the right steps and follow the directions, you’ll get a pretty exact result,” she said. Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people’s homes, which helped her reconnect with people. “Feeding people is such a universal love language,” she said. However, she was still trying to figure out how to find a career at 27 years old. She had no real work experience and she couldn’t put ‘quit drinking’ ” on her resume. Deegan’s life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. “People have been walking, running and lining up to get cookies, and it’s just been so magical seeing that,” she said. When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don’t have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. “You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you’ve got a job,” Deegan told the reporter. 24. What was Deegan mainly struggling with in 2013? A. Emotion management. B. Interpersonal relationship. C. Work-life balance. D. Alcohol addiction. 25. What prepared Deegan for her bakery business? A. Working previously in the baking industry. B. Seeing people running to get cookies. C. Wanting desperately to gain total control. D. Offering baked food out of goodwill. 26. According to paragraph 4 and 5, what is special about Deegan and her business? A. She achieved success through baking. B. She was ambitious about her business. C. She has an open-door employment policy. D. She only hired inexperienced workers. 27. Which of the following best describes Deegan? A. Creative and smart. B. Persistent and receptive. C. Honest and optimistic. D. Kind and easy-going. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了戒酒后想要把控自己生活的迪根喜欢烘焙，原来给别人送自制的饼干是想和别人搞好关系，这个爱好促成了她开启烘焙事业，同时因为自身的经历，她在招募员工时很包容，不嫌弃对方是否有相关工作经历或者不光彩的过去。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eyes proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn’t really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegan said. (2013年，迪根在与酗酒的斗争中获胜后，试图控制自己的生活。她确实戒酒了，但她很难与人重新建立联系。事实证明，与他人对视都很困难。迪根说：‘我有点像一副躯壳，真的没有很多生活技能或自信。’)”可知，2013年时候的Deegan很难与人重新建立联系，甚至都害怕与他人对视，可知，Deegan 在人际交往方面很吃力。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people’s homes, which helped her reconnect with people. ‘Feeding people is such a universal love language, ’ she said. (迪根开始把她自制的饼干带到人们的家里，这帮助她与人们重新建立联系。她说：‘喂饱人们是一种普世的爱的语言。’)”可知，Deegan 认为给人送食物能表达爱，所以她经常给别人送上自己做的饼干；第四段“Deegan’s life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. (迪根的生活在2015年发生了改变。在朋友们的鼓励下，她挑战自己，看能不能卖掉一个派。她卖了几十个！她开始在自己的小公寓里烘焙，并最终在2017年推出了正式业务。)”可知，也正是这种出于好意的为他人提供烘焙食品的行为，为后来Deegan 烘焙店生意奠定了基础，故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking.She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. (2013年，迪根在与酗酒的斗争中获胜后，试图控制自己的生活。她确实戒了酒，但她很难与人重新建立联系)”可知，迪根以前是一个嗜酒之人，但已戒了；最后一段中“When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don't have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you’ve got a job,’ Deegan told the reporter. (迪根说，当她需要更多帮助时，她会找那些对工作充满热情的人，即使他们没有任何经验。在经历了自己的挣扎之后，她意识到工作的愿望比拥有某种技能更好。她成为了第二次机会的雇主，雇佣监狱或收容所的女性。迪根告诉记者：‘你只需要走进那扇门，做好准备，愿意、能够、兴奋地出现并工作，你就得到了一份工作。’)”可知，有酗酒史的Deegan的面包店不关注应聘者是否有相关工作经历或者不光彩的过去，故有着特别开放的用人政策（open-door employment policy），这是特别之处。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. (她花了四年时间开发了一种派皮饼干食谱，从此成为她生意的核心和基础。)”可知，迪根很执着（Persistent），花4年时间研发一个食谱；第五段中“When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don't have anyexperience. And she became a second- chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. (迪根说，当她需要更多帮助时，她会找那些对工作充满热情的人，即使他们没有任何经验。在经历了自己的挣扎之后，她意识到工作的愿望比拥有某种技能更好。她成为了第二次机会的雇主，雇佣监狱或收容所的女性。)”可知，迪根善于接受（receptive）那些有缺点或能改过自新的人当员工。故选B项。 C When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In fact, the animal that kills the most people is one that you are familiar with: the mosquito (蚊子). While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case. Male mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits (传播) saliva into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can be minor or as serious as death. Because a mosquito can bite many people in its life, it can carry deadly diseases from one person to another very easily. More than 700 million people become sick from these diseases every year. At least 2 million of these people will die from these diseases. In some households, mosquito nets are placed over beds to protect people against being bitten. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the number of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does not always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays. But these sprays may also harm other plants or animals. Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals, they are far more dangerous to human beings. But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry. 28. Why does the passage mention dangerous animals like tigers and sharks? A. To compare different animals. B. To lead into the topic about mosquitoes. C. To show how dangerous tigers and sharks are. D. To show people’s misunderstanding of dangerous animals. 29. What can we learn about mosquitoes? A. Female mosquitoes might transmit diseases to humans. B. The saliva of female mosquitoes contains deadly diseases. C. Male mosquitoes and female mosquitoes have the same eating habits. D. More than 700 million people die from the diseases carried by the mosquitoes. 30. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Scientists are making efforts to kill mosquitoes. B. Some useful measures are taken to kill mosquitoes. C. There is no perfect solution to the mosquito problem. D. Mosquitoes’ natural enemies could protect human beings. 31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of solving the mosquito problem? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Negative. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了蚊子对人类的危害以及目前采取的一些灭蚊措施，并表达了对未来解决蚊子问题的乐观态度。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In fact, the animal that kills the most people is one that you are familiar with: the mosquito (蚊子). (我们小时候就知道老虎和鲨鱼是危险的动物。我们可能会害怕它们，因为它们体型庞大且力量强大。然而，随着我们长大，我们了解到有时候最危险的动物也是体型最小的动物。事实上，导致最多人死亡的动物是一种你很熟悉的动物：蚊子)”可推知，文章提到像老虎和鲨鱼这样的危险动物是为了引出关于蚊子的话题。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits (传播) saliva into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can be minor or as serious as death. (当雌性蚊子叮咬人类时，它会将唾液注入血液中。这种唾液可能含有致命疾病，也可能不含。叮咬的后果可能很轻微，也可能严重到导致死亡)”可知，雌蚊子可能会将疾病传播给人类。故选A项。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“In some households, mosquito nets are placed over beds to protect people against being bitten. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the number of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does not always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays. But these sprays may also harm other plants or animals. (在一些家庭中，人们会在床上方挂上蚊帐，以防止被蚊子叮咬。蚊子有许多天敌，比如蝙蝠、鸟类、蜻蜓以及某些种类的鱼。让更多这类动物进入蚊子栖息的地方，或许有助于减少该区域的蚊子数量。这是一种自然的解决办法，但并非总能起到很好的效果。也可以用毒药或喷雾剂杀死蚊子，不过这些喷雾剂可能也会对其他植物或动物造成伤害)”可知，第四段主要介绍了人们采取的一些防治蚊子的措施，以及这些措施存在的不足，即没有完美的解决蚊子问题的方案。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry. (但情况正在发生改变。科学家们很有可能在某一天找到一种方法，让所有人都能免受蚊子及其携带的疾病的侵害)”可推知，作者对解决蚊子问题的未来持积极乐观态度。故选B项。 D The recent announcement of cloned red wolf pups has drawn widespread attention. While Colossal Laboratories & Biosciences celebrated the birth of four red wolf clones and described them as a step toward “de-extinction” on its website, specialists have emphasized that genetic technology is not the real answer to saving threatened species. Red wolves once lived across large areas of the southeastern United States. However, their numbers decreased quickly in the 1970s due to habitat loss, hunting, and inbreeding with coyotes (郊狼). In 1980, the species was declared extinct in the wild. In fact, to save red wolves, a government captive breeding (圈养繁殖) program, starting in 1973, rebuilt their population to more than 120, and later tried to reintroduce them into the wild. Yet when the program was discontinued in the mid-2010s, their numbers dropped sharply to only seven wolves. The program was restarted in 2021, but now only has about 20 wolves. Colossal’s four red wolf pups were cloned from cells taken from “ghost wolves” — coyotes with large amounts of red wolf ancestry. But scientists doubt that gene modification (修改) is a particularly useful tool for red wolf conservation at present. They currently don’t have a good picture of red wolf genetics. While they estimate that 80 percent of ghost wolf genes are from red wolf ancestors, and not coyotes, they don’t know for sure which genes are which. According to scientists, there is a greater risk posed by using genetic technology for “de-extinction,” as it may divert attention from essential work like protecting habitats and rebuilding healthy populations of endangered animals. The danger of believing that genetic technology can replace such hard work is now apparent. Red wolves need protected habitats and careful conservation, rather than fresh genes. If we focus on one and not the other, there is a genuine risk that they will die off once again. 32. What does the captive breeding program in paragraph 2 mainly show? A. Cloning helps save endangered species. B. Captive red wolves struggle in the wild. C. Human activities threaten red wolves most. D. Sustained protection is key to species recovery. 33. Why do scientists doubt about cloning red wolves? A. They consider it costs too much. B. They lack clear genetic knowledge. C. They don’t think technology is mature. D. They believe it harms ecological balance. 34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Genetic tech is the final solution. B. Overusing tech may lead to failure. C. Habitat protection is less important. D. Cloning is necessary for red wolves. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. Gene Editing: A De-extinction Solution B. Protecting Wolves: Beyond Human Efforts C. Saving Red Wolves: More Than Technology D. Cloning: A New Hope for Endangered Species 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了红狼克隆技术引发的争议，以及科学家对使用基因技术拯救濒危物种的质疑，强调栖息地保护和持续保育工作的重要性。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In fact, to save red wolves, a government captive breeding (圈养繁殖) program, starting in 1973, rebuilt their population to more than 120, and later tried to reintroduce them into the wild. Yet when the program was discontinued in the mid-2010s, their numbers dropped sharply to only seven wolves.(事实上，为了拯救红狼，一项始于1973年的政府圈养繁殖计划将其种群数量恢复到120多只，后来尝试将它们重新引入野外。然而，当该计划于2010年代中期停止时，它们的数量急剧下降到仅有7只。)”可知，圈养繁殖计划的成功与失败对比表明，持续的保护是物种恢复的关键。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But scientists doubt that gene modification (修改) is a particularly useful tool for red wolf conservation at present. They currently don’t have a good picture of red wolf genetics.(但科学家怀疑基因改造目前并不是红狼保护的一个特别有用的工具。他们目前对红狼的遗传学还没有清晰的认识。)”可知，科学家对克隆红狼持怀疑态度是因为他们缺乏清晰的遗传学知识。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The danger of believing that genetic technology can replace such hard work is now apparent. Red wolves need protected habitats and careful conservation, rather than fresh genes. If we focus on one and not the other, there is a genuine risk that they will die off once again.(相信基因技术可以取代这种艰苦工作的危险现在已经很明显了。红狼需要受保护的栖息地和精心的保育，而不是新的基因。如果我们只关注其中一个而忽视另一个，它们再次灭绝的风险是真实存在的。)”可知，过度依赖基因技术而忽视栖息地保护可能导致失败。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“While Colossal Laboratories & Biosciences celebrated the birth of four red wolf clones and described them as a step toward “de-extinction” on its website, specialists have emphasized that genetic technology is not the real answer to saving threatened species.(尽管科洛塞尔生物科学实验室对四只克隆红狼的诞生表示庆贺，并在其官网称这是迈向“物种反灭绝”的一步，但专家强调基因技术并不是拯救濒危物种的真正答案。)”以及最后一段中“Red wolves need protected habitats and careful conservation, rather than fresh genes(红狼需要受保护的栖息地和精心的保育，而不是新的基因。)”可知，文章主旨是拯救红狼需要更多技术手段之外的工作。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。 Change is a natural part of life, but when it comes to friendships, it can sometimes feel worrying.

She really missed her best friend Holly, who was at home recovering from surgery and was going to stay home from school for the next two weeks! “When my mom was in the hospital after my baby brother Nathan was born, people brought her gifts,” thought Kenzie. “I should bring a gift to Holly!” So, Kenzie planned to visit Holly after school next Friday. However, Kenzie was lost in thought. She wanted to give Holly something meaningful and special. But her family was saving money for a new car, and she knew it wasn’t the time to spend a lot of money. Arriving home, Kenzie sank into the sofa. Later, while her mother prepared dinner, Kenzie told her about Holly and the gift thing, adding that she hoped to prepare something meaningful and special. She wondered how she could do that without a lot of money. “I know you can do it. You’re creative,” encouraged Mom.“You don’t need to spend a lot of money to show your care.” Kenzie nodded thoughtfully, her mind racing to find a possible solution. The next Monday, Kenzie and her brother Nathan had dentist appointments. They opened their goody bags (小礼品袋) from their considerate dentist on the way home.Inside were the usual toothbrush and toothpaste along with a few other meaningful and special things including super cute photos of their first dental experience, hand-made toys and cards. Nathan said it was fun to find these little surprises. Suddenly, she realized Nathan had just given her an idea for Holly’s gift. She would make little things that would be special and meaningful to Holly.

Recalling what her mother once had told her, she also made a bunch of delicate paper flowers, coloring them lively and vivid to add warmth and joy. Every single gift was made with great care. Kenzie truly hoped these meaningful and special surprises would remind Holly how deeply she was cherished and missed. On that Friday, Kenzie visited Holly with her gift. The moment Holly caught sight of the carefully decorated goody bag, her eyes lit up instantly and a bright smile flashed across her face. She opened it gently and examined every handmade treasure with great delight. Warmth and joy flooded her heart as she looked through the card and paper flowers. She immediately threw her arms around Kenzie tightly, saying it was the sweetest and most heartfelt gift she had ever received.

You can use the main A-Z of the dictionary to help you: Choose your words carefully. Many words in English have similar or related meanings, but they are used in different contexts or situations. Look carefully at the example sentences provided in the entries for words you want to use. If you need academic vocabulary, look for the AW symbol. Combine words naturally and effectively. In English, certain pairs of words go together and sound natural to native speakers (for example, heavy rain) — and others do not (strong rain). Information on which words can be paired with one another can be found in the example sentences in the dictionary entries. Become more flexible. Rather than repeating the same word or phrase many times in your work, try to find other ways to express your ideas. Look for SYN symbol to find synonyms(同义词) and also study the synonym notes. Look for word families and try using words in the same family that are different parts of speech (e.g. different, adjective and differ, verb). Edit and check your work. You can use your dictionary to check any problem areas such as spelling, parts of speech, irregular forms, grammar, phrasal verbs, and prepositions. In the following sections you will find examples of essays and practical types of writing that you can use as models for your own work. You will also find advice on planning, organizing and writing each type of text. Contents The writing process WT3 Reporting on data WT25 Answering the question WT7 Writing a report WT28 Writing a comparison essay WT10 Writing a review WT31 Writing an argumentative essay WT13 Discussing pictures and cartoons WT34 Oral presentations WT20 Writing a formal letter WT37 Writing a summary WT23 Writing emails WT40 21. What can you do to reduce repetition in your writing? A. Correct potential problems in advance. B. Use synonyms or explore word families. C. Ensure accurate and natural word pairings. D. Analyze examples of word usage in context. 22. Which page should you refer to if you need to write an essay comparing two things? A. WT7. B. WT10. C. WT23. D. WT25. 23. Where is this text probably taken from ? A. A creative writing magazine. B. A scientific report. C. A dictionary’s writing guide. D. A promotion handbook. B In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eyes proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn’t really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegan said. However, baking was something that always brought her joy as a child. One day while helping out in the neighborhood, Deegan picked up a handheld mixer and started baking. “My life was just out of control, but baking is such a controlled thing, where if you take the right steps and follow the directions, you’ll get a pretty exact result,” she said. Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people’s homes, which helped her reconnect with people. “Feeding people is such a universal love language,” she said. However, she was still trying to figure out how to find a career at 27 years old. She had no real work experience and she couldn’t put ‘quit drinking’ ” on her resume. Deegan’s life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. “People have been walking, running and lining up to get cookies, and it’s just been so magical seeing that,” she said. When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don’t have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. “You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you’ve got a job,” Deegan told the reporter. 24. What was Deegan mainly struggling with in 2013? A. Emotion management. B. Interpersonal relationship. C. Work-life balance. D. Alcohol addiction. 25. What prepared Deegan for her bakery business? A. Working previously in the baking industry. B. Seeing people running to get cookies. C. Wanting desperately to gain total control. D. Offering baked food out of goodwill. 26. According to paragraph 4 and 5, what is special about Deegan and her business? A. She achieved success through baking. B. She was ambitious about her business. C. She has an open-door employment policy. D. She only hired inexperienced workers. 27. Which of the following best describes Deegan? A. Creative and smart. B. Persistent and receptive. C. Honest and optimistic. D. Kind and easy-going. C When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In fact, the animal that kills the most people is one that you are familiar with: the mosquito (蚊子). While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case. Male mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits (传播) saliva into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can be minor or as serious as death. Because a mosquito can bite many people in its life, it can carry deadly diseases from one person to another very easily. More than 700 million people become sick from these diseases every year. At least 2 million of these people will die from these diseases. In some households, mosquito nets are placed over beds to protect people against being bitten. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the number of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does not always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays. But these sprays may also harm other plants or animals. Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals, they are far more dangerous to human beings. But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry. 28. Why does the passage mention dangerous animals like tigers and sharks? A. To compare different animals. B. To lead into the topic about mosquitoes. C. To show how dangerous tigers and sharks are. D. To show people’s misunderstanding of dangerous animals. 29. What can we learn about mosquitoes? A. Female mosquitoes might transmit diseases to humans. B. The saliva of female mosquitoes contains deadly diseases. C. Male mosquitoes and female mosquitoes have the same eating habits. D. More than 700 million people die from the diseases carried by the mosquitoes. 30. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Scientists are making efforts to kill mosquitoes. B. Some useful measures are taken to kill mosquitoes. C. There is no perfect solution to the mosquito problem. D. Mosquitoes’ natural enemies could protect human beings. 31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of solving the mosquito problem? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Negative. D The recent announcement of cloned red wolf pups has drawn widespread attention. While Colossal Laboratories & Biosciences celebrated the birth of four red wolf clones and described them as a step toward “de-extinction” on its website, specialists have emphasized that genetic technology is not the real answer to saving threatened species. Red wolves once lived across large areas of the southeastern United States. However, their numbers decreased quickly in the 1970s due to habitat loss, hunting, and inbreeding with coyotes (郊狼). In 1980, the species was declared extinct in the wild. In fact, to save red wolves, a government captive breeding (圈养繁殖) program, starting in 1973, rebuilt their population to more than 120, and later tried to reintroduce them into the wild. Yet when the program was discontinued in the mid-2010s, their numbers dropped sharply to only seven wolves. The program was restarted in 2021, but now only has about 20 wolves. Colossal’s four red wolf pups were cloned from cells taken from “ghost wolves” — coyotes with large amounts of red wolf ancestry. But scientists doubt that gene modification (修改) is a particularly useful tool for red wolf conservation at present. They currently don’t have a good picture of red wolf genetics. While they estimate that 80 percent of ghost wolf genes are from red wolf ancestors, and not coyotes, they don’t know for sure which genes are which. According to scientists, there is a greater risk posed by using genetic technology for “de-extinction,” as it may divert attention from essential work like protecting habitats and rebuilding healthy populations of endangered animals. The danger of believing that genetic technology can replace such hard work is now apparent. Red wolves need protected habitats and careful conservation, rather than fresh genes. If we focus on one and not the other, there is a genuine risk that they will die off once again. 32. What does the captive breeding program in paragraph 2 mainly show? A. Cloning helps save endangered species. B. Captive red wolves struggle in the wild. C. Human activities threaten red wolves most. D. Sustained protection is key to species recovery. 33. Why do scientists doubt about cloning red wolves? A. They consider it costs too much. B. They lack clear genetic knowledge. C. They don’t think technology is mature. D. They believe it harms ecological balance. 34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Genetic tech is the final solution. B. Overusing tech may lead to failure. C. Habitat protection is less important. D. Cloning is necessary for red wolves. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. Gene Editing: A De-extinction Solution B. Protecting Wolves: Beyond Human Efforts C. Saving Red Wolves: More Than Technology D. Cloning: A New Hope for Endangered Species 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。 Change is a natural part of life, but when it comes to friendships, it can sometimes feel worrying.

She really missed her best friend Holly, who was at home recovering from surgery and was going to stay home from school for the next two weeks! “When my mom was in the hospital after my baby brother Nathan was born, people brought her gifts,” thought Kenzie. “I should bring a gift to Holly!” So, Kenzie planned to visit Holly after school next Friday. However, Kenzie was lost in thought. She wanted to give Holly something meaningful and special. But her family was saving money for a new car, and she knew it wasn’t the time to spend a lot of money. Arriving home, Kenzie sank into the sofa. Later, while her mother prepared dinner, Kenzie told her about Holly and the gift thing, adding that she hoped to prepare something meaningful and special. She wondered how she could do that without a lot of money. “I know you can do it. You’re creative,” encouraged Mom.“You don’t need to spend a lot of money to show your care.” Kenzie nodded thoughtfully, her mind racing to find a possible solution. The next Monday, Kenzie and her brother Nathan had dentist appointments. They opened their goody bags (小礼品袋) from their considerate dentist on the way home.Inside were the usual toothbrush and toothpaste along with a few other meaningful and special things including super cute photos of their first dental experience, hand-made toys and cards. Nathan said it was fun to find these little surprises. Suddenly, she realized Nathan had just given her an idea for Holly’s gift. She would make little things that would be special and meaningful to Holly. Over the next few days, she thought hard about her plan. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “What surprises should be in my goody bag for Holly?” Kenzie thought to herself. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On that Friday, Kenzie visited Holly with her gift. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
