At first, it remained 6 and kept its distance. But as I cared for it with patience, it slowly grew 7 and began to trust me. Its strength was returning day by day. The final day came when its wing had fully 8 . I took it back to the mountain top and held it in my arms. After a moment’s 9 , I opened my hands and let it go. The eagle spread its massive wings and 10 into the sky, soaring high until it was a tiny dot. Watching it disappear, I felt a sense of 11 as well as loss. This experience taught me a 12 lesson: wild animals are not made to be kept in cages. True love does not mean 13 them as our own, but allowing them to live freely. We share this planet with many wonderful creatures. 14 we harm them, we harm nature itself. To protect wildlife is to protect our world. Only by respecting nature can we keep it 15 and beautiful forever. 1．A．destroyed B．injured C．harmed D．ruined 2．A．floated B．circled C．walked D．climbed 3．A．patiently B．suddenly C．cautiously D．eagerly 4．A．effort B．promise C．difference D．attempt 5．A．restore B．repair C．return D．remain 6．A．calm B．nervous C．sad D．tired 7．A．relaxed B．excited C．worried D．disappointed 8．A．developed B．improved C．recovered D．progressed 9．A．surprise B．hope C．doubt D．hesitation 10．A．set off B．turned off C．got off D．took off 11．A．shame B．relief C．pain D．regret 12．A．bitter B．simple C．valuable D．lasting 13．A．owning B．protecting C．feeding D．training 14．A．Though B．Unless C．If D．Before 15．A．separate B．unique C．vivid D．peaceful 【答案】 1．B 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．A 6．B 7．A 8．C 9．D 10．D 11．B 12．C 13．A 14．C 15．D 【导语】文章主要介绍作者救助受伤老鹰并领悟尊重自然、爱护野生动物的人生道理。 1．考查动词。句意：它的左翼扭曲肿胀，显然受了重伤。A. destroyed摧毁；B. injured受伤；C. harmed伤害；D. ruined毁坏。根据前文“I spotted a large eagle lying helplessly on a rock.

The moment my friends and I stepped into the stadium, I felt excitement in the 1 . Thousands of people were waiting 2 , many wearing T-shirts with the singer’s name and holding shining light sticks. Everyone was smiling, chatting and ready for something 3 . When the lights 4 , the crowd roared. A single spotlight lit up the 5 , and then — boom — the music started. The sound was so 6 that it seemed to pass right through me. Every 7 was remarkably clear, and the electric guitar made my heart pound. Then the singer’s voice came through, dynamic and transporting, far better than I could ever have 8 . What struck me most profoundly, though, was the 9 between that vast crowd of strangers. Apart from my friends, I didn’t know the people standing on either side of me, but we sang the same lyrics, moved to the same beat, and 10 our arms as one. At that moment, it didn’t matter who we were or where we came from; we were all part of one big family. Then the stage 11 and so did we. As a slow song began, I looked around and saw thousands of 12 lights, the audience swaying together and singing softly. It felt simply magical. I thought about how, in our busy lives, we 13 stop to share moments like these and how much we should. On the journey home, my voice was hoarse (嘶哑的) from 14 and my legs tired from dancing, yet my heart was full and content. That night gave me more than just music; it 15 me a cherished memory that would stay with me forever. 1．A．air B．sky C．environment D．condition 2．A．anxiously B．calmly C．curiously D．expectantly 3．A．odd B．amazing C．ordinary D．familiar 4．A．went out B．built up C．came on D．broke down 5．A．screen B．roof C．stage D．exit 6．A．gentle B．orderly C．friendly D．powerful 7．A．word B．song C．note D．slide 8．A．agreed B．planned C．promised D．imagined 9．A．competition B．connection C．argument D．distance 10．A．waved B．stretched C．lifted D．crossed 11．A．brightened B．quieted C．darkened D．crowded 12．A．shining B．flashing C．burning D．reflecting 13．A．frequently B．gradually C．rarely D．immediately 14．A．shouting B．talking C．singing D．crying 15．A．showed B．gifted C．awarded D．spared Passage 2 I knew exercise is good for health — who doesn’t? But 1 were easier. Running bored me, biking sounded risky, and the gym seemed too much to handle. Each offered me a reason to 2 it, so I did. When I worked in Kenya, I came to realize that people there don’t “ 3 ” the way I had thought. Instead, they move — with a clear 4 in mind. They move to reach a destination. They move to hunt and to tend crops. There is no such thing as a 5 , but they are working out 24-7. Maybe I could take 6 from these people and add meaning to my exercising. So, I started my 7 program: “chicken-cising,” with 15 baby chicks and a book on 8 backyard chickens. It turned out that caring for the flightless birds was quite 9 — a full-body workout involving bending, squatting (深蹲), weightlifting and running around. One weekend, my e-watch 10 as many as 145 squats and 10,506 steps! I ended up in better shape than expected and found extra 11 that no gym workout can provide. First, quitting is not a(n) 12 : You can’t put on your “chicken-cise” clothes, sit for a while, and then simply decide not to 13 , especially when your feathered friends depend on you to survive. Second, you have unbeatable workout partners, who 14 respond to your appearance with encouragement. Bah-Baaaahk! What’s more? Fresh-from-the-hen eggs! Turning every breakfast into a celebration of my new lifestyle with the best eggs, “chicken-cising” taught me that movement doesn’t need a gym — it needs 15 . 1．A．actions B．excuses C．examples D．answers 2．A．approach B．manage C．avoid D．bear 3．A．change B．live C．travel D．exercise 4．A．purpose B．message C．order D．request 5．A．role B．problem C．gym D．village 6．A．time B．inspiration C．comfort D．pleasure 7．A．escape B．diet C．charity D．fitness 8．A．cooking B．raising C．drawing D．protecting 9．A．demanding B．confusing C．amusing D．touching 10．A．meant B．took C．rang D．read 11．A．rules B．pressure C．benefits D．responsibility 12．A．choice B．pain C．must D．error 13．A．step aside B．show off C．turn up D．give in 14．A．angrily B．cheerfully C．patiently D．carefully 15．A．courage B．talent C．attention D．meaning Passage 3 I had many adventures as a child, but one stands out on the local football pitch at Pacaembu, Brazil, the legendary cradle (摇篮) of football geniuses. I was 1 my team when our goalkeeper got injured. No one else volunteered, so I 2 reluctantly (不情愿地), never having tried the position before. I felt 3 in the unfamiliar spot. Soon, a striker broke through and I dived to 4 his shot. His boot caught me right in the face in the collision (碰撞). The cut was deep and blood began 5 down. I had no money for a taxi and was too embarrassed to get on a bus with a 6 face. I asked a friend for a 7 on his bicycle, but the bridge on our way was too steep for him to pedal with my 8 . I had to walk the rest of the way, 9 my heavy kitbag. People gaped at my face in shock, but I kept moving. The long walk home felt like a lonely march of 10 . When I finally arrived, my grandmother treated the wound with warm turmeric. Seeing my downcast eyes, she whispered, “The mark on your face isn’t a sign of failure, but a proof (证据) of your 11 . You stood where others wouldn’t.” Her words 12 me of the soul faster than the medicine. That wasn’t the only time I got hurt on those overused pitches. Injuries were frequent, but they 13 me for the struggles ahead. Over time, I realized the scar became a medal of 14 , a symbol of pride and courage. It taught me being a sportsman meant 15 every ball life throws without fear. 1．A．greeting B．captaining C．inviting D．observing 2．A．cheered up B．called out C．stepped up D．dropped out 3．A．uneasy B．impatient C．ashamed D．ordinary 4．A．record B．watch C．stop D．avoid 5．A．pressing B．fading C．breaking D．pouring 6．A．muddy B．sweaty C．sun-burnt D．bloodied 7．A．reaction B．lift C．tip D．chance 8．A．weight B．quality C．height D．strength 9．A．packing B．displaying C．dragging D．raising 10．A．defeat B．silence C．pressure D．regret 11．A．honesty B．cooperation C．responsibility D．achievement 12．A．changed B．moved C．inspired D．cured 13．A．reminded B．forgave C．protected D．hardened 14．A．honor B．defence C．peace D．trust 15．A．performing B．braving C．gathering D．predicting Passage 4 At eight o’clock on Christmas morning, Dad said he wanted to listen to the 1 . My 11-year-old self was wondering why 2 grown-ups would be interested in the news when there were important things to be done, such as handing out 3 . And then, while I was only half-listening to the radio broadcast, something 4 happened: the boring news announcer began talking about a Christmas message. Hadn’t we heard that report earlier? It’s a tape recorder! My heart missed a beat when I finally 5 what was happening. My dad had 6 the news and was playing it back. The thing is, I was born 7 . In the mid-1950s, tape recorders were definitely the 8 choice for blind kids like me, especially with the 9 of rock and roll. 10 , the new toy dominated (占据) the rest of the Christmas holidays. I recorded everything: my parents, the milkman, the dog... I even made my own radio programme, where I talked about my thoughts in the 11 of the voices I heard on the recording. Ten years later, I drew on the confidence gained from early 12 of the sound and walked into a radio station, in the hope of 13 myself as a broadcaster (播音员) in a weekly programme for blind people. Twenty-five years later, I presented my first report for BBC’s Six O’clock News, a programme my dad had never 14 . Although by then he’d been dead for more than a decade, I like to think he’d have realized that his Christmas present had 15 my life. 1．A．commerce B．programme C．news D．conference 2．A．at large B．in reality C．on occasion D．on earth 3．A．presents B．goods C．books D．cash 4．A．typical B．strange C．romantic D．exciting 5．A．made out B．figured out C．set out D．tried out 6．A．recorded B．followed C．commented D．repeated 7．A．creative B．deaf C．curious D．blind 8．A．tough B．curious C．top D．previous 9．A．threat B．surroundings C．application D．rise 10．A．Surprisingly B．Thankfully C．Naturally D．Luckily 11．A．company B．style C．tradition D．honour 12．A．exploration B．description C．contribution D．imagination 13．A．identifying B．assuming C．selling D．dressing 14．A．appreciated B．missed C．intended D．clicked 15．A．removed B．controlled C．rescued D．shaped Passage 5 Years ago, I faced a significant challenge with my water bills. As a single man living in my own house, I was astonished by the 1 amounts I had to pay. A wise old neighbor suggested that I dig a 2 . Following his advice, I hired an engineer who marked several 3 in my yard (院子) where he believed we could find water. However, after digging multiple (多个) holes without success, I became quite 4 and almost gave up on the idea. But then, a saying 5 me: “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.” This 6 me to push through, so I encouraged the engineer to keep digging. After 7 more than 1000 feet into the earth, we finally made it. This entire experience served as a meaningful 8 for me: in life, we’re all like individuals digging for wells, whether it’s in building relationships, chasing our dreams, or constructing our futures. 9 , we might feel like we’re putting in all our time, effort, and energy without seeing any 10 results. However, if we 11   with it and keep digging, we might find that we’re just moments away from the blessings and rewards we’ve been working so hard for. So, keep digging in your own life. Don’t give up, even when things are 12 . You are worthy of achieving your goals. And when you finally reach them, celebrate your success and let everyone 13 your worth. Keep pushing forward, and you’ll find the water you’re 14 .

He was shy and often 2 eye contact. At 15, Roche played on a baseball team. He was good at catching, but bad at 3 . One day at practice, he took 15 or 20 swings (挥棒) at the ball and 4 most of them. Then his coach, Wells, walked over to him, saying “You are closing your right eye when you swing.” Roche 5 , “I can’t see with that eye anyway.” 6 , Wells said, “Try hitting from the other side.” Roche stepped into the box for lefties (左撇子). His teammates took it as a 7 and moved closer to watch. But Roche 8 everyone by hitting the first ball — and the next dozen. “I realized that keeping your eye on the ball is the 9 ,” Roche said. “My coach noticed I was 10 the ball too early.” Coach Wells moved him back to the right side and 11 him. He put his hands on Roche’s shoulders and 12 turned his foot outward, turning him toward the thrower. By the end of the season, Roche could finally 13 the ball. Fifty years later, Roche still 14 the matter-of-fact way Wells offered help. “I can still feel his fingertips on my shoulders — it was so 15 .” 1．A．cold B．blind C．clear D．deep 2．A．needed B．changed C．avoided D．made 3．A．throwing B．hitting C．picking D．sliding 4．A．achieved B．stole C．struck D．missed 5．A．explained B．regretted C．requested D．imagined 6．A．Besides B．Instead C．Moreover D．However 7．A．secret B．sight C．joke D．test 8．A．promised B．surprised C．copied D．worried 9．A．key B．ability C．threat D．excuse 10．A．waiting for B．making use of C．focusing on D．losing sight of 11．A．warned B．reexamined C．repositioned D．blamed 12．A．gently B．wisely C．proudly D．nervously 13．A．track B．catch C．check D．push 14．A．doubts B．compares C．remembers D．notices 15．A．interesting B．comforting C．creative D．awkward Passage 2 My uncle George lives a simple life — no smartphones, no internet — so communication is 1 to old-school landline phone (固定电话) calls. When I was little, I asked my parents what was wrong with him. They said 2 was “wrong” with him exactly, but that Uncle George was 3 disabled. Back in the day, George calls me 3 times a day, without 4 , 365 days a year. Our phone calls always follow the same structure. In one, he’s my dad and I’m his son. In another, we’re both lifeguards, planning the 5 of a drowning (溺水的) person. When the phone rings, “Hi, George,” I’ll say. “It’s your dad!” Or “This is Tower 1. Tower 2, can you read me?” We go back and forth in 6 for about a minute and a half, only 7 for a loud laugh. “You know something, Tommy,” he’ll say, “I’m just calling to say you’re the 8 guy I know.” This conversation has been 9 multiple times a day for years now. No matter what’s going on in the world, these 10 are something I can count on. At my most 11 — during painful breakups and professional setbacks — that phone call rolls in, allowing me to escape 12 for a bit and just 13 and act like a kid again. George doesn’t understand things at an adult level, but he’s able to bring me energy, love and acceptance. It’s an incredible 14 .

For thousands of years, it has been much more than a means of 2 . It carries the wisdom, values and spirit of the Chinese nation. When I was a little boy, my grandfather first 3 me to this wonderful art. Every weekend, he would sit beside me, 4 me how to hold the brush and control the ink. At first, I found it very difficult. My hands 5 , and the lines I wrote were far from perfect. I even wanted to 6 many times. 7 , Grandpa always encouraged me, telling me not to give up. He told me that calligraphy teaches patience and peace of mind. “The ink does not lie,” he would say. “Your character is 8 in every stroke (笔画).” Slowly, I began to 9 the beauty of this art. I enjoyed the 10 smell of ink and the smooth feeling of the brush on paper. As I grew older, I came to understand that calligraphy is a journey of 11 oneself. It is not just about writing well; it is about 12 one’s mind and heart. In a modern world filled with noise and speed, calligraphy offers a way to stay 13 and connected to our roots. Today, I often practice calligraphy in my free time. It has become a necessary part of my life. Whenever I feel stressed, I 14 my brush. In that quiet moment, I feel close to our great 15 and find peace within myself. 1．A．suitable B．valuable C．comfortable D．reasonable 2．A．communication B．competition C．celebration D．invitation 3．A．sent B．limited C．introduced D．pushed 4．A．ordering B．teaching C．warning D．forcing 5．A．clapped B．relaxed C．waved D．shook 6．A．quit B．fade C．retire D．adapt 7．A．Altogether B．Somehow C．However D．Moreover 8．A．lost B．absorbed C．replaced D．reflected 9．A．create B．admire C．change D．compare 10．A．precious B．terrible C．pleasant D．formal 11．A．improving B．convincing C．trusting D．battling 12．A．calming B．emptying C．troubling D．puzzling 13．A．worried B．proud C．focused D．active 14．A．give up B．turn up C．break up D．pick up 15．A．technology B．tradition C．education D．memory Passage 4 Earlier this month, I bought a new smart phone. I didn’t 1 it much at first, only to get a call from my daughter. Soon, however, I found it 2 to surf the internet on the smart phone than my large computer. Even with my 3 time I quickly found myself spending more and more of it on this phone. Yesterday when I was 4 short videos, suddenly a long and white nose 5 its way between me and my phone. 6 , I put the phone down, took my glasses off and petted my dog.

It was a 9 that I hadn’t gotten once during all that time I had spent on my phone. It’s strange how it took a dog to 10 me of what is important. I 11 myself to spend less time on my phone and more time doing the 12 things in life like hugging my children, talking to my friends and even playing with my dog. 13 is here to stay.

We rushed outside to a 1 scene, with families trapped on rooftops, and children crying for help. My friend and I immediately joined the rescue teams. 2 , the event eventually pushed me toward a new career path. I’d gone to college to study civil engineering, 3 to design buildings myself someday. 4 , as my degree progressed, I was fascinated with research and desired to 5 my academic journey. But I was unsure what to study. Then the flood came, and it all became 6 . Because of the experience of volunteering in 7 communities, I decided to focus my education on natural disasters. As a first step, I applied for a master’s program in development studies, which 8 my friends and family. They kept asking me why I wanted to study social sciences, 9 that this choice might limit my job prospects (前景) . However, I was 10 and went ahead with what I thought was right for me. The program, which enabled me to have access to projects that helped communities plan for climate change, 11 I was on the right path. 12 what I’ve learned with people in my community has given me great satisfaction. A barber from my hometown regularly talks with me about the increasing frequency of extreme events. He’s filled with respect for the research I discuss with him.

When he was 16, Molai began to notice something worrying happening around his home. A flood had hit the area earlier that year and the 2 it caused had driven away a number of birds. Besides, the number of snakes had 3 as well. He realized that it was because there weren’t 4 trees to protect them from the heat. The solution, of course, was to plant trees so the animals could seek 5 during the daytime. He turned to the 6 department for help but was told that nothing would grow there. However, Molai went looking on his own and 7 a nearby island where he began to plant trees. Growing young plants in the dry season was 8 for a lone boy. Molai built at the 9 of each sapling (幼树) a bamboo platform, where he placed earthen pots with water to 10 the young trees during the dry season. He also built a small fence around each tree to 11 it from being eaten by animals. What he did was 12 . He single-handedly planted about 1.2 million trees, creating a wildlife 13 . And his work has drawn attention from around the world. Today, Molai’s forest is home to hundreds of birds and other 14 , and the wetlands are lively again.

The white-naped crane is a typical example. So scientists are working hard to 1 the species from extinction. Working at a zoo, Chris and Tim assist endangered cranes in breeding (繁殖). Emma, a female crane, has been in their 2 since she arrived in 2004. Born at an international crane foundation, Emma was 3 by human caretakers. This led to an unexpected consequence. Emma had 4 taken herself as a crane and become deeply attached to humans. She 5 to live with male cranes, and even had a 6 for killing some of them making it impossible for her to become a mother. 7 , the two zookeepers didn’t want to see the extinction of this precious species. With their patience and efforts, they successfully developed a 8 of artificial breeding and natural reproduction. This 9 Emma to give birth to five baby cranes. The two keepers are proud. But more efforts must be made, because the population of the crane in the wild is on the 10 , and many other species face extinction. 11 , not everyone has realized wildlife has thoughts, feelings, and most importantly, equal rights to survive. How can we 12 the ever-widening gap that separates us from other animals?

A lonely swimmer is suddenly pulled down into the water. Such scary scenes from a famous movie have strengthened people’s long-held 1 of sharks as a dangerous animal. The film Jaws, produced in 1975, describes a fierce white shark that repeatedly hurts and harms ordinary swimmers. The movie achieved huge success overnight, 2 millions of viewers worldwide. It also deepened the public’s fixed view that sharks are dangerous and 3 natural killers. In fact, humans have always felt 4 of large sea creatures. However, this popular film made public worries much 5 . Many viewers believed sharks actively 6 human beings on purpose. Some local people gave up 7 in coastal waters, while others began to hunt sharks crazily. At that time, few people 8 the possible result of killing large numbers of sharks. As time went by, shark populations dropped sharply across the globe. The sharp decline was partly 9 to public fear, and mainly to a cruel business called finning. Fishermen catch sharks, cut off their fins and throw the injured animals back to the ocean. Without fins, sharks will die slowly and 10 in the water. These fins are widely used in expensive dishes, causing the 11 death of countless sharks every year. 12 , the situation is slowly changing because more and more people begin to realize that sharks only attack people 13 . Nowadays, more wildlife lovers are devoting themselves to 14 the real living conditions of sharks. As key members of marine ecosystems, sharks play an irreplaceable role. It is high time that we learned to respect and 15 these misunderstood creatures. 1．A．idea B．rule C．plan D．request 2．A．saving B．controlling C．attracting D．protecting 3．A．friendly B．cruel C．quiet D．annoyed 4．A．proud B．tired C．scared D．careful 5．A．safer B．simpler C．better D．worse 6．A．attack B．greet C．guard D．guide 7．A．sailing B．surfing C．fishing D．swimming 8．A．ignored B．judged C．considered D．doubted 9．A．close B．due C．similar D．equal 10．A．painfully B．naturally C．bravely D．secretly 11．A．unnecessary B．quick C．peaceful D．unexpected 12．A．Therefore B．However C．Besides D．Meanwhile 13．A．by design B．by mistake C．in turn D．for fun 14．A．hiding B．changing C．understanding D．preventing 15．A．prevent B．replace C．punish D．preserve Passage 4 Kate was at home asleep on February 6 when a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the city where she lived. The quake caused 1 damage there. Luckily, her beloved pet cat Pudding woke her up 15 minutes 2 the earthquake struck, 3 her to run away. When the quake hit, Kate jumped out the window of her home, only injuring her legs. “If I hadn’t been woken up, I would have been in the 4 ,” Kate said in comments provided to Newsweek by animal welfare nonprofit Humane Society International (HSI). “I do 5 Pudding because I can’t find her. I am alive, and there is 6 .” Even after being 7 in the quake and sent to hospital, Kate didn’t give up — she posted an article on the Internet in a desperate (拼命的) attempt to 8 Pudding. HSI saw the 9 and began searching for the cat, but finally it was 10 . Mr Smith, who was HSI’s director of animal disaster response (响应), was helping to discover the exact 11 of Pudding. He asked Kate to send her a voice message calling the pet’s name in order to 12 the cat out. After a lot of patience, the method 13 and the frightened pet was finally saved.

Its left wing was twisted and swollen, clearly badly 1 . The proud creature, which should have 2 freely in the sky, was now too weak to even lift its feathers. I approached 3 , afraid it would become frightened and attack me. To my surprise, it only watched me with sharp but sad eyes, making no 4 to escape. I gently wrapped it in my coat and took it home, determined to help it 5 its health. In the following weeks, I cleaned its wound daily and fed it fresh meat. At first, it remained 6 and kept its distance. But as I cared for it with patience, it slowly grew 7 and began to trust me. Its strength was returning day by day. The final day came when its wing had fully 8 . I took it back to the mountain top and held it in my arms. After a moment’s 9 , I opened my hands and let it go. The eagle spread its massive wings and 10 into the sky, soaring high until it was a tiny dot. Watching it disappear, I felt a sense of 11 as well as loss. This experience taught me a 12 lesson: wild animals are not made to be kept in cages. True love does not mean 13 them as our own, but allowing them to live freely. We share this planet with many wonderful creatures. 14 we harm them, we harm nature itself. To protect wildlife is to protect our world. Only by respecting nature can we keep it 15 and beautiful forever. 1．A．destroyed B．injured C．harmed D．ruined 2．A．floated B．circled C．walked D．climbed 3．A．patiently B．suddenly C．cautiously D．eagerly 4．A．effort B．promise C．difference D．attempt 5．A．restore B．repair C．return D．remain 6．A．calm B．nervous C．sad D．tired 7．A．relaxed B．excited C．worried D．disappointed 8．A．developed B．improved C．recovered D．progressed 9．A．surprise B．hope C．doubt D．hesitation 10．A．set off B．turned off C．got off D．took off 11．A．shame B．relief C．pain D．regret 12．A．bitter B．simple C．valuable D．lasting 13．A．owning B．protecting C．feeding D．training 14．A．Though B．Unless C．If D．Before 15．A．separate B．unique C．vivid D．peaceful 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
