In the video, there was a group of tourists traveling in the desert in Turpan, Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Suddenly, they found their hair standing on end, which scared everyone on the scene. According to the tourists, their hair returned to normal after they drove 3 kilometers down the road. Many people on the Internet said the phenomenon (现象) is a sign of a coming storm. They suggested that the group should have run away as soon as possible. However, Feng Minxue, an expert, said that running away is not the best choice in such a situation. According to Feng, if a person’s hair is dry and there is a little too much static electricity (静电), there is still time to leave. However, if the hair has already stood on end, running can be fatal because it may put the person in danger. The correct way is to lower one’s body. If they can’t leave the mountain top in time, they should quickly crouch (蹲) down in that place, bring their feet as close together as possible and use their hands to protect their head, keeping away from the ground. Wu Xueke, a professor, thinks that the clouds with electricity above the head of the tourists caused the situation. The electric field distortion (畸变) above their head became strong, and then it caused static electricity in their hair. In some serious cases, the person might be hit by lightning. Therefore, if people meet with such a situation outdoors, they should keep a clear mind and take action properly. 7. What did many people on the Internet advise the tourists to do? A. Stand still. B. Lie down quietly. C. Run away immediately. 8. What does the underlined word “fatal” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A. 讨厌的 B. 致命的 C. 突然的 9. According to Feng, what should the tourists do? ① Keep their body down. ② Bring their feet close together. ③ Protect their head. ④ Touch the ground. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ 10. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. People outdoors should try to keep away from dark clouds. B. There is electricity in the clouds in the desert. C. Strong electric field distortion can cause static electricity in hair. 【答案】7. C 8. B 9. A 10. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了游客在新疆吐鲁番沙漠中头发竖起的现象，专家解释了其科学原理（云层带电导致电场畸变），并给出了正确的避险方法。 【7题详解】 第二段提到“They suggested that the group should have run away as soon as possible.”，因此网友建议他们立即跑开。 【8题详解】 第三段提到“if the hair has already stood on end, running can be fatal”，结合上下文，跑开可能使人处于危险之中，因此“fatal”意为“致命的”。 【9题详解】 第三段提到“The correct way is to lower one’s body...bring their feet as close together as possible and use their hands to protect their head, keeping away from the ground.”，因此①②③正确，④“touch the ground”与“keeping away from the ground”相反。 【10题详解】 最后一段提到“The electric field distortion above their head became strong, and then it caused static electricity in their hair.”，因此强烈的电场畸变会导致头发产生静电。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。每个选项仅使用一次。 Fraser Island (弗雷泽岛) is in Queensland, Australia.

They’re stopping the sun.”可知，此处指砍倒树木，应用短语“cut down”。故选C。 【17题详解】 句意：我感受不到风。 feel感受；smell闻；taste品尝。根据“It is so crowded here that I have no room to spread my roots (根).

Soon he…lots of space around the small tree.”可知，此处指砍树后清理出了空间，应用“cleared”。故选A。 【21题详解】 句意：不幸的是，其他事情发生了。 Usually通常；Luckily幸运地；Sadly不幸地。根据后文“The sun’s heat came first, burning the small tree…”可知，小树被晒伤、被风雨摧残，这是不幸的转折，应用“Sadly”。故选C。 【22题详解】 句意：太阳的热量首先袭来，灼烧着不习惯如此强烈阳光的小树。 water水；sunlight阳光；air空气。根据“The sun’s heat came first, burning the small tree…”可知，此处指小树不适应强烈的阳光，应用“sunlight”。故选B。 【23题详解】 句意：这都是你自找的。 yourself你自己；himself他自己；itself它自己。根据“You are quite foolish…You brought this on…”可知，此处蛇在对小树说话，应用第二人称“yourself”。故选A。 【24题详解】 句意：事实上，它们是在保护你。 In total总计；In fact事实上；In this way用这种方法。根据“If you had left the bigger trees alone, the sun and storm wouldn’t have hurt you so badly.”可知，此处指蛇在揭示大树存在的真实作用，应用“In fact”。故选B。 【25题详解】 句意：如果你再等久一点，你本可以长得和它们一样大。 straight笔直的；thick粗的；big大的。根据前文多处出现的“bigger trees”可知，此处指长得和那些树一样大，应用“big”。故选C。 第二节（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Once upon a time, there was a rich man.

However, recently the Australian government has announced (宣布) that koalas are endangered animals across much of the country. In fact, the country lost 30% of its koala population between 2018 and 2021. If nothing was done, New South Wales’s koalas would die out by 2050, a report in June 2020 said. “This must be a wake-up call (警钟) to Australia and the government to move much faster to protect the cute animals,” Josey Sharrad said seriously. Koalas are dying out all over the country because of the climate change and the fast development of cities. People have seen some places that look like the moon—with dead and dying trees everywhere. After WWF-Australia called on the government to announce koalas as endangered in April, the government promised they would get more public support (支持) and protect koalas’ home in the forests and woodlands. The Australian government is now doing its best to collect money to protect koalas. On the one hand, it has spent $13 million in helping improve their living places. On the other hand, the government plans to spend another $36 million on better health research and medical support to further help koala programs over the next four years. “We should never allow things to get to the point where we are at the risk of losing a national symbol,” Environment Minister Susan Ley said. 36.

WWF-Australia/It asked the government to announce koalas as endangered animals. 40. $13 million. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了考拉在澳大利亚面临濒危的状况、濒危原因以及澳大利亚政府为保护考拉所采取的措施。 【36题详解】 第一段明确提到“However, recently the Australian government has announced (宣布) that koalas are endangered animals across much of the country.”，可知考拉现在在澳大利亚是濒危动物，所以答案是肯定的。 【37题详解】 第二段“If nothing was done, New South Wales’ koalas would die out by 2050, a report in June 2020 said.”是2020年6月的报告的内容，直接提取答案。 【38题详解】 从第三段“Koalas are dying out all over the country because of the climate change and the fast development of cities.”指出考拉在澳大利亚灭绝的原因，直接提取答案。 【39题详解】 由第四段“After WWF-Australia called on the government to announce koalas as endangered in April”表明世界自然基金会澳大利亚分会在4月呼吁政府宣布考拉为濒危动物。 【40题详解】 依据第五段“On the one hand, it has spent $13 million in helping improve their living places.”政府已经花费了1300万美元来改善考拉的生活场所，直接提取答案。 第二节 书面表达（满分15分） 41. 为了呼吁大家保护大象，本次你班的班会主题是：保护大象。请你根据以下提示用英语写一封发言稿。 陆地上最大的哺乳动物，可以活到80岁。 目前数量在减少，因为： 1.人们砍伐森林，大象渐渐失去家园。 2.人们捕杀大象，获取象牙。 如何保护它们（不少于三条）。 参考词汇：mammal 哺乳动物；ivory 象牙 Dear students, I am glad to talk about the topic of the class meeting — protect the elephants. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That’s all.

However, these years the number of elephants is becoming much smaller, because people cut down forests and elephants are losing their homes. Also, people kill them for ivory.

In the video, there was a group of tourists traveling in the desert in Turpan, Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Suddenly, they found their hair standing on end, which scared everyone on the scene. According to the tourists, their hair returned to normal after they drove 3 kilometers down the road. Many people on the Internet said the phenomenon (现象) is a sign of a coming storm. They suggested that the group should have run away as soon as possible. However, Feng Minxue, an expert, said that running away is not the best choice in such a situation. According to Feng, if a person’s hair is dry and there is a little too much static electricity (静电), there is still time to leave. However, if the hair has already stood on end, running can be fatal because it may put the person in danger. The correct way is to lower one’s body. If they can’t leave the mountain top in time, they should quickly crouch (蹲) down in that place, bring their feet as close together as possible and use their hands to protect their head, keeping away from the ground. Wu Xueke, a professor, thinks that the clouds with electricity above the head of the tourists caused the situation. The electric field distortion (畸变) above their head became strong, and then it caused static electricity in their hair. In some serious cases, the person might be hit by lightning. Therefore, if people meet with such a situation outdoors, they should keep a clear mind and take action properly. 7. What did many people on the Internet advise the tourists to do? A. Stand still. B. Lie down quietly. C. Run away immediately. 8. What does the underlined word “fatal” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A. 讨厌的 B. 致命的 C. 突然的 9. According to Feng, what should the tourists do? ① Keep their body down. ② Bring their feet close together. ③ Protect their head. ④ Touch the ground. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ 10. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. People outdoors should try to keep away from dark clouds. B. There is electricity in the clouds in the desert. C. Strong electric field distortion can cause static electricity in hair. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。每个选项仅使用一次。 Fraser Island (弗雷泽岛) is in Queensland, Australia.

However, recently the Australian government has announced (宣布) that koalas are endangered animals across much of the country. In fact, the country lost 30% of its koala population between 2018 and 2021. If nothing was done, New South Wales’s koalas would die out by 2050, a report in June 2020 said. “This must be a wake-up call (警钟) to Australia and the government to move much faster to protect the cute animals,” Josey Sharrad said seriously. Koalas are dying out all over the country because of the climate change and the fast development of cities. People have seen some places that look like the moon—with dead and dying trees everywhere. After WWF-Australia called on the government to announce koalas as endangered in April, the government promised they would get more public support (支持) and protect koalas’ home in the forests and woodlands. The Australian government is now doing its best to collect money to protect koalas. On the one hand, it has spent $13 million in helping improve their living places. On the other hand, the government plans to spend another $36 million on better health research and medical support to further help koala programs over the next four years. “We should never allow things to get to the point where we are at the risk of losing a national symbol,” Environment Minister Susan Ley said. 36.
