B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了五星级黄石之旅的具体细节和注意事项。 【21题详解】推理判断题。根据Tour snapshot部分中的“Taking Covid-19 safety measures: Click here (采取新冠肺炎安全措施：点击此处)”可知，这篇文章可能来自一个网站。故选C。 22题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“This tour’s main focus is on the wide variety of wildlife, Yellowstone’s rich historic landscapes as well as the fascinating prospect formed by the Yellowstone Supervolcano for over millions of years. (本次游览的重点是种类繁多的野生动物、黄石公园丰富的历史景观以及黄石超级火山数百万年来形成的迷人前景)”可知，关于这次旅行我们能知道它突出了野生动物、历史景观和火山景观。故选A。 【23题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“Total fees: $300 per adult (age 13-99); 40% discount (age 1-12) (总费用：每位成人300美元（13-99岁）；40%折扣（1-12岁）)”可知，你应该为预订做的事情是为每个孩子支付300×(1-40%)=180美元。故选B。 【答案】24. D 25.B 26.A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者向读者介绍了《绿山墙的安妮》这一本小说。介绍了安妮的成长，处事态度，感恩精神，以及这本书对作者的影响。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段讲到“Anne of Green Gables is ideally meant for children — one might think so when seeing the cover or reading through the back page of the masterpiece. It was first published in the year 1904, authored by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but it still connects to today’s world where we forget to live in the present. (《绿山墙的安妮》是儿童的理想之作——当人们看到封面或翻阅这部杰作的封底时，可能会这么认为。它于1904年首次出版，作者是露西·莫德·蒙哥马利，但它仍然与我们忘记生活在当下的当今世界联系在一起。)”可知，《绿山墙的安妮》是一部永恒的经典之作。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。文章第三段讲到“The book teaches me a lot of things, the most important being — to be who you are. Why do we need to pretend to be somebody else and project a false image of ourselves to look better? We need to realize that we are all different in our own way and accept ourselves first. (这本书教会了我很多东西，最重要的是——做你自己。为什么我们需要假装成别人，给自己树立一个虚假的形象，让自己看起来更好？我们需要意识到，我们在自己的方式上都是不同的，并首先接受自己。)”可知，第一句是本段的主旨句，告诉我们本段主旨是：做你自己。下文用安妮的例子来证明这一观点。从第三段我们可以了解到安妮忠于自己。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。文章倒数第二段讲到“I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures (我相信，最美好、最甜蜜的日子并不是那些发生了任何精彩、美妙或激动人心的事情的日子，而是那些带来简单小快乐的日子)”可知，生活中的点滴小事情就是最美好、最甜蜜的日子，因此最符合第19章的引文的是：停下来闻一闻玫瑰花。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“With its uplifting and refreshing story, it is a wonderful read for people of all ages seeking a joyful and enriching literary journey. (它以其振奋人心、令人耳目一新的故事，为寻求一段快乐而丰富的文学之旅的各个年龄段的人们提供了一本精彩的读物。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是推荐一本书。故选C。 【答案】28. C 29.A 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了热浪对大黄蜂嗅觉的影响。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Heat waves don’t just make bumblebees (大黄蜂) hot. High temperatures also seem to seriously reduce their sense of smell, which can be very bad for their survival. For bumblebees, being able to smell flowers is a matter of life or death because it helps them find food.(热浪不仅会让大黄蜂变热。高温似乎也严重降低了它们的嗅觉，这对它们的生存非常不利。对于大黄蜂来说，能够闻到花的气味是生死攸关的问题，因为这可以帮助它们找到食物)”可知，由于热浪降低了大黄蜂的嗅觉，这意味着它们可能找不到食物，所以大黄蜂最终可能面临死亡的风险。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Some bumblebees were also put in a dry environment; some had ways to sugary resources; some were given time to recover at normal temperatures for 24 hours after the heat treatment. After the simulated heat waves, the researchers cut off the bumblebees’ antennae (触须), which they use to smell, and measured whether the olfactory sensory neurons (the cells that help them smell) in the antennae could still detect flower scents.(一些大黄蜂也被放在干燥的环境中；有些有办法获得含糖资源；一些在热处理后24小时在常温下恢复。在模拟的热浪之后，研究人员切断了大黄蜂用来嗅觉的触角，并测量了触角中的嗅觉感觉神经元（帮助它们嗅觉的细胞）是否仍然可以探测到花香)”可知，研究人员给一些大黄蜂24小时恢复，是为了验证热浪是否会损害它们的嗅觉，并观察它们是否能在正常温度下恢复嗅觉。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““That was surprising,” said the insect ecologist. This suggests the bumblebees don’t recover quickly, which means they might have trouble finding food. “It could be one reason why we see so many bumblebee’s population drops,” she added, along with other factors like habitat loss.(昆虫生态学家说：“这太令人惊讶了。”这表明大黄蜂不会很快恢复，这意味着它们可能很难找到食物。“这可能是我们看到这么多大黄蜂数量下降的原因之一，”她补充说，此外还有栖息地丧失等其他因素)”可知，研究结果让昆虫生态学家知道了黄蜂数量下降的原因，消除了研究人员的疑虑。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““The study seems pretty reliable,” said a bumblebee ecologist from the University of Sussex in Brighton, England, who didn’t take part in the study. “The antennae are quite similar across bee species,” he added. “If bumblebees suffer in this way, I think it’s probable that other bees would too. But we won’t know for sure until someone does research on it.”(“这项研究似乎相当可靠，”英国布莱顿萨塞克斯大学的一位大黄蜂生态学家说，他没有参加这项研究。“各种蜜蜂的触角都非常相似，”他补充说。“如果大黄蜂以这种方式受苦，我认为其他蜜蜂很可能也会这样。但在有人对此进行研究之前，我们无法确定。”)”可知，根据大黄蜂生态学家的说法，其他蜜蜂很可能也会这样，但是还有很多东西需要研究。故选D项。 【答案】32.B 33. C 34. D 35.A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了海洋氧气含量的不足会导致大量海洋生物的死亡，并呼吁人们采取措施拯救海洋生物。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“ In the summer of 2021, an unseasonal event took place. More than 100 miles of Florida’s coast around Tampa Bay became an oxygen-depleted (缺氧的) zone containing dead fish along the nearby shoreline.(2021年夏天，发生了一件非季节性事件。佛罗里达州坦帕湾周围100多英里的海岸线变成了一个缺氧区，附近的海岸线上有死鱼。)”可知，海洋氧气减少会导致海洋生物死亡数量的增加。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“As ocean and atmospheric scientists focus on climate, we believe that oceanic oxygen levels are the next big victim of global warming. To stop the situation from worsening, we need to expand our attention to include the dangerous state of oceanic oxygen levels — the life-support system of our planet. We need to accelerate ocean-based climate solutions that boost oxygen. (随着海洋和大气科学家关注气候，我们相信海洋氧气水平是全球变暖的下一个大受害者。为了阻止情况恶化，我们需要扩大我们的注意力，包括海洋氧气水平的危险状态——我们星球的生命维持系统。我们需要加快以海洋为基础的增加氧气的气候解决方案)”可知，研究提高海洋氧气含量的解决方案迫在眉睫。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“We celebrated the return of humpback whales in recent years to an increasingly clean New York Harbor and Hudson River. However, dead fish blocked the Hudson in the summer as warmer waters carried less oxygen.(近年来，我们庆祝座头鲸回归日益清洁的纽约港和哈德逊河。然而，在夏季，由于温暖的海水携带的氧气较少，死鱼阻塞了哈德逊河)”可知，文中先介绍哈德逊河座头鲸的回归，再指出由于水中氧气含量的减少，大量的死鱼阻塞了哈德逊河。作者暗示虽然座头鲸回归，但也可能因为中氧气含量的不足而死亡，作者借此呼吁人们更多关注水中缺氧问题。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“But water without adequate oxygen cannot support life. For the three billion people who depend on coastal fisheries for income, declining ocean oxygen levels are devastating.(但是没有足够氧气的水是无法维持生命的。对于依靠沿海渔业获取收入的30亿人来说，海洋含氧量的下降是毁灭性的)”、第三段中“We need to accelerate ocean-based climate solutions that boost oxygen. Examples include nature-based solutions such as those discussed at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) held in Glasgow.(我们需要加快以海洋为基础的增加氧气的气候解决方案。例如，在格拉斯哥举行的2021年联合国气候变化大会(COP26)上讨论的基于自然的解决方案)”和最后一段中“If we do not save marine life from oxygen starvation, we starve ourselves.(如果我们不把海洋生物从缺氧中拯救出来，我们就会饿死自己)”可推知，文章介绍了海洋氧气含量的不足会导致大量海洋生物的死亡，并呼吁人们采取措施，故“Let Oceans Breathe(让海洋呼吸)”是文章最佳标题。故选A项。 【答案】36. F 37. D 38. E 39. B 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了正念饮食的含义，并从有意准备、调动感官、细嚼慢咽、感受饱腹与满足感四个方面给出了具体的练习方法。 【36题详解】 上文“Experts recommend starting mindful eating gradually. Aim to eat one or a few meals per week in a slower, more attentive way.(专家建议循序渐进地开始正念饮食，目标是每周以更慢、更专注的方式吃一两顿饭。)”说明要逐步开始正念饮食。选项F“然后逐步努力把它变成日常习惯。”承接上文，说明从每周练习到养成日常习惯的过程，符合语境。故选F。 【37题详解】 上文“Turn off distractions like your phone, the TV, or your unfinished work.(关掉手机、电视或未完成的工作等干扰项。)”介绍吃饭前要排除干扰。选项D“这样你就能只专注于你的餐食。”说明排除干扰后的效果，衔接自然，符合语境。故选D。 【38题详解】 本段主题为“Engage your senses.(调动感官。)”。上文“Observe the colors and shapes of your food.(观察食物的颜色和形状。)”介绍视觉方面。下文“As you eat, pay attention to the flavors and how the food feels in your mouth.(进食时，注意味道和食物在口中的感觉。)”介绍味觉与触觉。选项E“在吃之前，吸入令人愉悦的气味。”介绍嗅觉，与上下文共同调动多种感官，符合语境。故选E。 【39题详解】 下文“Take small bites and chew each completely.(小口吃，把每一口都充分咀嚼。)”具体说明吃饭的方式。选项B“慢慢吃，仔细咀嚼。”概括本段核心内容，作为段落小标题，符合语境。故选B。 【40题详解】 本段主题为“Reflect on fullness and satisfaction.(感受饱腹与满足感。)”。下文“This simple act helps you slow down and check in with your body.(这个简单的动作能帮你放慢速度，感知身体的状态。)”说明某个简单动作的作用。选项C“每吃一口后放下筷子。”是一个简单动作，引出下文的好处，符合语境。故选C。 完形填空 41．A 42．B 43．A 44．D 45．B 46．A 47．C 48．B 49．A 50．D 51．A 52．C 53．C 54．B 55．B 【答案】56. on 57. was announced 58. endangered 59. recognition 60. strengthening 61. globally 62. varieties 63. when 64. to honor 65. an 66.harmonious 67.commitment 68.enthusiastic 69.mood 70.blank 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界诗歌日的建立和发展。 【56题详解】 考查介词。句意：每年的3月21日是世界诗歌日，旨在促进诗歌教学，以及这种写作形式的出版、写作和阅读。表示在具体某一天，应用介词on。故填on。 【57题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：联合国教科文组织于1999年宣布世界语言日，希望通过诗意的表达来支持语言多样性，并增加濒危语言被听到的机会。主语It与动词announce是被动关系，应用被动语态，由in 1999可知，应用一般过去时的被动语态，be动词使用was。故填was announced。 【58题详解】 考查形容词。句意同上。此处修饰名词languages，应用形容词endangered“濒危的”，作定语。故填endangered。 【59题详解】 考查名词。句意：世界诗歌日旨在为国际、区域和国家诗歌运动注入新的动力和认可。此处与drive并列，作动词giving的宾语，应用名词recognition“认可”，不可数。故填recognition。 【60题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：它还侧重于促进诗歌朗诵口头传统的回归，以及加强诗歌与其他表达形式（如舞蹈、音乐和绘画）之间的联系。此处作介词on的宾语，与promoting并列，应用动名词。故填strengthening。 【61题详解】 考查副词。句意：这一天在全球范围内庆祝。此处修饰动词celebrate，应用副词globally“全球地”，作状语。故填globally。 【62题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：政府机构、社区团体以及个人都参与到对这一日的推广或参与活动当中，这使得孩子们能够学习并欣赏到各种各样的诗歌。固定短语varieties of“各种各样的”。故填varieties。 【63题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这是一个学生们忙着研究诗人并了解不同类型诗歌的时期。此处是定语从句，先行词是a time，关系词在从句中作时间状语，应用关系副词when引导。故填when。 【64题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：举行仪式是为了纪念有杰出成就的诗人。此处作目的状语，应用动词不定式。故填to honor。 【65题详解】 考查冠词。句意：总而言之，这是属于诗歌的一天：这一古老的艺术形式，至今仍丰富着我们对人性的理解。此处泛指“一种古老的艺术形式”，且ancient以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词an。故填an。 应用文 Notice To promote traditional Chinese culture, our city cultural center will hold an exhibition of Chinese ink wash paintings at the city art gallery during the May Day holiday.

We welcome all art lovers to come and enjoy the charm of Chinese art! The City Cultural Center 读后续写 Para 2: A whistle woke me up, spotting a flashlight through my jacket, I cried for help. Four men ran to me saying that they were the rescuers whom Jessica had turned to. They got started without delay. Two of them held me under each shoulder as the other two wrapped a rope around my leg. Then they constantly pulled together until my leg was freed eventually. Just then the weather lifted and I was extremely delighted with strong feelings flooding over me: the happiness of survival, the gratitude to the rescuers and, most importantly, the awe of nature. 一声口哨把我吵醒，透过夹克看到一束手电筒的光，我大声呼救。四个男人跑向我，说他们是杰西卡找来的救援人员，他们立刻开始施救。其中两人分别架住我的双肩，另外两人用绳子缠住我的腿。然后他们一起用力拉，直到我的腿最终被解救出来。就在这时，天气转晴了，强烈的情绪涌上心头，我感到无比喜悦：对存活下来的庆幸、对救援人员的感激，最重要的是，对大自然的敬畏。 听力原文 Text 1 M: Hi Lucy, how’s the “Green-School” project going? W: I have finished collecting plastic bottles. 200 already piled behind the lab, but I still need to design the poster. M: I’ll run to the store for extra-large rubbish bags while you draft it. Text 2 M: I heard you just moved into your new place. For your housewarming party, would you prefer a set of fancy kitchen knives or one of those smart coffee makers? W: Those are both lovely ideas, but honestly, I’d much rather have you and a few other friends over for a homemade dinner. Helping me create the first real memory in this space would mean so much more. Text 3 M: Hurry up, it’s already 7 p.m. We’ll be late for the movie. W: Relax, the cinema is only 15 minutes away and there are 45 minutes of previews before the main movie starts. We can arrive just in time for the previews, and the main movie won’t start until after them. Text 4 M: I notice you’ve been putting a lot of time into that online photography course. The technical part seems very difficult. W: For me, it’s not about becoming a technical expert at all. When I look back at the photos from my previous trips, they can’t bring back the real feelings of those moments. I want my pictures to keep memories alive so those good memories don’t fade. Text 5 W: I heard Mrs. Carter was honored for her work in the neighborhood last week. M: That’s right, she doesn’t just organize monthly book exchange activities at the library. She also fixes old bikes for kids for free. W: No wonder everyone says she’s the most helpful person here. Test 6 M: Judy, the blouse looks wonderful on you! The color goes with your trousers perfectly. W: Thanks, Mark. M: Well, the blouse certainly shows your good taste. It must have cost a lot. W: Actually, no. I got it on sale at Star Mall. It was originally $150, but I got it for only $60. M: That’s a fantastic deal! How did you manage to find such a great deal? W: Oh, I always pay attention to their newsletters. They announce promotions ahead of time. M: Wise move! I should start doing that, too. Test 7 W: Bob, I heard you’ve been travelling a lot. What’s the longest flight you’ve been on? M: My longest flight was from Istanbul to Bangkok. I had a stopover in Delhi. It took me about 16 hours in total. It was challenging to sit for so long, but I made it enjoyable with movies, healthy food, and some sleep. W: Sounds exhausting! Do you have any tips for long flights? M: Definitely! First, choose your airline carefully. For flights over 4 hours, make sure they offer comfortable seats, good meals and in-flight entertainment, like a TV screen. Also, ask for a blanket right after boarding to stay cozy. W: Good advice! Anything else? M: I think that taking two short flights, like two 5-hour ones, is better than one 10-hour flight. Breaking up the journey makes it easier to stretch and relax in between. W: Thanks. I’ll keep them in mind for my next trip. Text 8 W: I always exercise right after leaving my office. Once I combine these two actions, they become just another part of my routine. M: Combine your habits? W: Yeah. It’s a method in habit formation that involves linking a new habit with an existing one that you perform regularly. We’ve all done it in school, work, and personal life. My brother instructed me on how to use this skill effectively. M: Wow. I’ve naturally done this since I was young. I bet it works because of the reward system of your mind. You release feel-good chemicals after finishing daily tasks, so it’s easier to build new habits. W: True! If you want to start a breathing practice, do it right after brushing your teeth. M: How about keeping a journal? I’d love to start doing that after the evening cooking routine I’ve already established. W: That’s perfect! Start small and keep going. Text 9 W: This Monet painting is called Impression, Sunrise. It was one of the pioneer examples of the Impressionist style. M: I’m so glad we came to this Impressionist art exhibit. Standing here, I’m reminded why I fell in love with art in the first place. My art teacher always said Impressionist painters were masters of color and atmosphere. W: I’ve shown this masterpiece to so many friends. But I wouldn’t have known it without my mom. She studied so much about art history. M: That’s wonderful. What do you think of the brushwork here? W: It’s quite different from earlier periods. Some people relate this work to literary stories or even photos. M: Interesting comparison. However, it lacks the realistic quality of statues or photos. I’d much quicker relate it to artwork created for novels. Also, have you seen the modern art exhibit downstairs? W: Not yet. I prefer this classic gallery. M: I agree. Though, I’ve had almost no exposure to works that are created nowadays. Some people love it, and others find it boring. But I’d love to decide for myself! Text 10 M: Hey, everyone! Welcome to today’s live session. This is Ethan. I’m excited to introduce to you one of the most beloved apps for mental health: Relax. Since its launch in 2013, Relax has helped millions of people across the world to reduce stress, sleep better, and feel more relaxed.

B Anne of Green Gables is ideally meant for children -one might think so when seeing the cover or reading through the back page of the masterpiece.It was first published in the year 1904,authored by Lucy Maud Montgomery,but it still connects to today's world where we forget to live in the present. It tells of the adventures of Anne Shirley,an 11-year-old orphan JL)girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert,a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea.The novel describes how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts,in school,and within the town. The book teaches me a lot of things,the most important being -to be who you are.Why do we need to pretend to be somebody else and project a false image of ourselves to look better?We need to realize that we are all different in our own way and accept ourselves first.As is described in the book,Anne is a colorful and ever-growing character.She "has as many shades as a rainbow and every shade is the prettiest while it lasts.Each aspect of her personality is beautiful,which makes her unique and interesting. Another important concept that is illustrated remarkably well is the importance of taking joy in the world around us.Anne's obvious wonder-struck appreciation of life made me truly appreciate the small things.Here is my favourite quote (from Chapter 19: I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures,following one another softly,like pearls slipping off a string. Anne's influence has deeply shaped who I am today.This classic novel truly highlights the importance of self-love and gratitude.With its uplifting and refreshing story,it is a wonderful read for people of all ages seeking a joyful and enriching literary journey. 24.What do we know about Anne of Green Gables? A.It is a recent release. B.It covers real events C.It features world history. D.It is a timeless classic. 25.What can we learn about Anne from paragraph 3? A.She achieves her goal. B.She is true to herself. C.She is talented in drawing. D.She cares about others. 26.Which of the following best matches the quote from Chapter 19? A.Stop and smell the roses.

Bumblebees are already known to suffer from climate change.So,an insect ecologist from the University of Wurzburg in Germany and her team wanted to understand if heat waves could influence bumblebees'ability to smell flowers. The researchers put around 190 bumblebees from two common species into small special rooms for almost three hours at temperatures of 40C to simulate (heat waves.Some bumblebees were also put in a dry environment;some had ways to sugary resources;some were given time to recover at normal temperatures for 24 hours after the heat treatment.After the simulated heat waves,the researchers cut off the bumblebees'antennae(触须)，which they use to smell,.and measured whether the olfactory(嗅觉的)sensory neurons()(the cells that help them smell)in the antennae could still detect flower scents The heat waves reduced the bumblebees'ability to smell by up to 80 percent.Worker bumblebees, which are all female,were more affected than male bumblebees.Even worse,the antennae of the bumblebees that had 24 hours to cool off still didn't recover their sense of smell after that time."That was surprising,"said the insect ecologist.This suggests the bumblebees don't recover quickly,which means they might have trouble finding food."It could be one reason why we see so many bumblebee's population drops,"she added,along with other factors like habitat loss. "The study seems pretty reliable,"said a bumblebee ecologist from the University of Sussex in Brighton,England,who didn't take part in the study."The antennae are quite similar across bee species,"he added."If bumblebees suffer in this way,I think it's probable that other bees would too.But we won't know for sure until someone does research on it." 28.What problem might bumblebees face in the end because of heat waves? A.Habitat loss.B.Food shortage.C.Death risk. D.Sensory failure. 29.Why were some bumblebees given 24 hours to recover after the treatment? A.To prove if hot waves damage their sense of smell. B.To prevent the researchers making mistakes. C.To make sure they can adapt to the environment. D.To count their number and species. 30.What does the insect ecologist think of the research result? A.It leads to a good method. B.It takes researchers'doubts away. C.It limits the scientific research. D.It goes beyond her control. 31.What can we learn about other bees according to the bumblebee ecologist? A.More researchers are studying them. B.They will suffer from death. C.They will be well protected. D.There is still a lot to study. D In the summer of 2021,an unseasonal event took place.More than 100 miles of Florida's coast around Tampa Bay became an oxygen-depleted (zone containing dead fish along the nearby shoreline. Much of the conversation around our climate crisis highlights the emission of greenhouse gases and their effect on warming,sea-level rise and ocean acidification ()We hear little about the effect of climate change on oxygen levels,particularly in oceans and lakes.But water without adequate oxygen cannot support life.For the three billion people who depend on coastal fisheries for income,declining ocean oxygen levels are devastating. 第4页/共8页 As ocean and atmospheric scientists focus on climate,we believe that oceanic oxygen levels are the next big victim of global warming.To stop the situation from worsening,we need to expand our attention to include the dangerous state of oceanic oxygen levels-the life-support system of our planet.We need to accelerate ocean-based climate solutions that boost oxygen.Examples include nature-based solutions such as those discussed at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference(COP26)held in Glasgow. Enhanced monitoring of oxygen and the establishment of an oxygen-accounting system are a must. Putting oxygen into the climate story motivates us to do the work to understand the deep systemic changes happening in our complex atmospheric and oceanic systems.We celebrated the return of humpback whales in recent years to an increasingly clean New York Harbor and Hudson River.However,dead fish blocked the Hudson in the summer as warmer waters carried less oxygen. Ecosystem changes connected to physical and chemical system-level data may point the way to new approaches to climate solutions.It includes an enhanced understanding of the life-support system of our planet.Roughly 40 percent of the world's people depend on the ocean for their livelihoods.If we do not save marine life from oxygen starvation,we starve ourselves. 32.What is the result of less ocean oxygen according to the text? A.A rise in the coastal fisheries. B.An increase in deaths of sea animals. C.The emission of greenhouse gases. D.The warming of the atmosphere. 33.What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A.Attention to oceans is necessary. B.Global warming effects are serious. C.Ways to boost oceanic oxygen are urgent. D.Oceanic oxygen levels are dangerous. 34.Why does the author mention humpback whales in Paragraph 4? A.To bring in an oxygen-accounting system in climate. B.To explain the urgency of oxygen levels in atmosphere. C.To show the achievements in reducing air pollution. D.To call for more attention to oxygen starvation in waters. 35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Let Oceans Breathe B.Make Oceans Safe C.Save Marine Life D.Keep the Marine System 第二节七选五（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。 How to Start Mindful Eating Mindful eating is about waking up to the experience of eating.Experts recommend starting mindful eating gradually.Aim to eat one or a few meals per week in a slower,more attentive way.36 Here's a simple practice to help you get into a more mindful eating mindset.

About five feet from the edge,her front foot sank into the sandy bottom.Then she fell forward and both legs started to sink.I rushed,grabbed her under the shoulders,and pulled her out of the muck().She climbed back to shore.But now I was sinking.The muck came all the way up to my right leg and my left ankle.I freed my left leg but couldn't move my right.Jess handed me a long stick we'd picked up earlier in the hike.I jammed it down the side of my leg and tried to move and pull it out.Nothing.I was stuck in quicksand. Jessika started scooping()sand with both hands,but it was refilling faster than she could pull it out. "Don't bother,"I told her."You're just wasting your energy."While I was no longer sinking,I wasn't getting out,either.We couldn't call for help because there was no signals there.I told Jessika she had to hike back and seek help.She was scared-she had only ever hiked with me and was afraid of hiking alone on such a tough track.But we were out of options. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few hours after Jessika left,it was getting dark and started to snow heavily. A whistle woke me up,spotting a flashlight through my jacket,I cried for help. 第8页/共8页第一节听下面五段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。Hi Lucy, how's the Green school project going?
