Visitors can browse all the buildings of the Palace Museums. More than 400,000 imperial artifacts have been digitized online, which can definitely help you gain knowledge and immerse yourself in a cultural atmosphere. The websites: https://pano.dpm.org.cn Shanghai Museum Shanghai Museum is a large and famous museum, which collects over 120,000 precious artistic relics from more than 5,000 years ago to the Qing Dynasty. The marvelous bronze, ceramics, paintings and calligraphies offer a visual feast for the eyes, and also provide a good chance for people to learn the profound Chinese history and culture.

Now visitors can directly browse dozens of classic caves and appreciate the murals (壁画) by cave rooms through the “Digital Dunhuang”, the website of the Mogao Caves. The development of “Digital Dunhuang” not only shocks visitors in a visual sense but also “moves” the Mogan Grottoes outside. The website: https://www.e-dunhuang.com 1. The people interested in ancient Chinese arts and crafts should visit ____________. A. https://www.e-dunhuang.com B. https://www.dpm.org.cn C. https://pano.dpm.org.cn D. https://www.shanghaimuseum.net 2. What can the visitors see through “Digital Dunhuang”? A.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了中国多家知名博物馆推出免费VR线上展览。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。由Shanghai Museum部分中的“If you are into ancient Chinese arts and crafts, then the online Shanghai Museum is definitely worth your time. The website: https://www.shanghaimuseum.net (如果你对中国古代工艺美术感兴趣，那么在线上海博物馆绝对值得你花时间。网站：https://www.shanghaimuseum.net)”可知，对中国古代工艺美术感兴趣的人应该访问https://www.shanghaimuseum.net。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由Mogao Caves部分中的“Now visitors can directly browse dozens of classic caves and appreciate the murals (壁画) by cave rooms through the “Digital Dunhuang”, the website of the Mogao Caves. (如今，游客可以通过莫高窟的官方网站“数字敦煌”，直接浏览数十个经典洞窟，并通过洞窟内的房间欣赏壁画。)”可知，游客通过“数字敦煌”能看到经典洞窟和壁画。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“Some of the best museums across China are putting their exhibitions online in VR format for free. Why not take a detailed online tour at museums that you would not otherwise have time for? (中国一些最好的博物馆正在把他们的展览以VR的形式免费放到网上。为什么不进行一次详细的在线博物馆之旅呢？)”可知，这篇文章的目的是推荐一个在线游览。故选C。 B Nothing screamed freedom for me as a kid like green rubber boots. Each winter meant new boots for my little brother and me. Sometimes they were Christmas presents, but more often they were simply necessities for two boys who took their job of getting dirty very seriously and whose feet grew like they stepped in fertilizer each night. Depending on the model, they might have long yellow laces (鞋带) all the way up the front and a strip of yellow rubber around the top. Sometimes we got the common slip-on kind, but I liked the lace-up type better. I loved threading those laces in and out and in and out and then fastened them down tight at the top to lock the legs of my overalls or jeans in place. You couldn’t maintain the wavy effect with the slip-on kind, so you couldn’t look like a British soldier for very long with those. The only drawback to the laces was that over time the plastic tip would wear off and the laces would be worn out. Then threading them through the eyes got to be a chore — especially when some weeds or insects would grab hold of the ends and make a sticky mess. Getting boots at the store was nice, but nothing was better than getting boots in a wrapped-up box. The best ones have a pretty lid (盖子) and open like a treasure chest. Sometimes a big sticker with a picture of the boots greeted us from under the wrapped paper. But every time, raising the lid released a sweet smell of rubbery goodness. I loved the smooth inside of the boot, and moving my toes in it. There was always plenty of space for growing feet. Then came the important walk around the room and up and down the hall, booming along on the hardwood floor. Best of all was the bang of the back door, the clumping down steps, and the heavy, thunderous thunk across the yard to the nearest hole of mud and freedom. 4. What made a boot necessary for me? A. Playing in dirt freely. B. Protecting the feet in winter. C. Stepping in fertilizer every night. D. Showing off as a Christmas present. 5. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The feature of rubber boots. B. My image in lace-up boots. C. The effect of rubber boots. D. My preference for lace-up boots. 6. What does the underlined word “drawback” in paragraph 3 mean? A. strength. B. attraction. C. disadvantage. D. boredom. 7. The rubber boot attracted me except ________. A. the feeling of opening its package box. B. the smell of the rubber. C. the inside surface of the boot. D. the sound of the boot kicking the door. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者童年时期对绿色橡胶靴的喜爱和回忆。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Nothing screamed freedom for me as a kid like green rubber boots. Each winter meant new boots for my little brother and me. Sometimes they were Christmas presents, but more often they were simply necessities for two boys who took their job of getting dirty very seriously and whose feet grew like they stepped in fertilizer each night.(对我儿时而言，没有什么比绿色的橡胶靴更能代表自由了。每年冬天，我和弟弟都会有新靴子。有时它们是圣诞礼物，但更多时候，它们只是两个男孩的必需品——这两个男孩把把自己弄得脏兮兮这件事看得很重，而且他们的脚长得飞快，就像每晚都踩在肥料上一样)”可知，靴子对作者来说是必需品是因为他可以自由地在泥土里玩耍。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Sometimes we got the common slip-on kind, but I liked the lace-up type better. I loved threading those laces in and out and in and out and then fastened them down tight at the top to lock the legs of my overalls or jeans in place. You couldn’t maintain the wavy effect with the slip-on kind, so you couldn’t look like a British soldier for very long with those. (有时我们穿普通的套脚款，但我更喜欢系带款。我喜欢把鞋带穿进穿出、穿进穿出，然后在顶部系紧，把我的工装裤或牛仔裤的裤腿固定住。用套脚款无法保持那种波浪效果，所以穿那种靴子你没法长时间看起来像英国士兵)”可知，本段详细描述了作者更喜欢系带式靴子的原因(可以系鞋带、固定裤腿、营造波浪效果等)。因此，本段主要讲述的是作者对系带式靴子的偏好。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The only drawback to the laces was that over time the  plastic tip would wear off and the laces would be worn out. Then threading them through the eyes got to be a chore (鞋带唯一的drawback是，随着时间的推移，塑料尖端会磨损，鞋带会磨损。然后把它们穿过鞋眼就成了一件苦差事)”可知，这是系带式靴子的缺点。故划线词drawback意为“缺点”，与“disadvantage”同义。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The best ones have a pretty lid (盖子) and open like a treasure chest... raising the lid released a sweet smell of rubbery goodness. (做工上乘的靴子配有精致盒盖，盒子开启时宛如打开宝箱…… 掀开盒盖，一股醇厚好闻的橡胶馨香扑面而来)”、第五段中“I loved the smooth inside of the boot (我喜欢靴子内部光滑的表面)”和“Best of all was the bang of the back door, the clumping down steps, and the heavy, thunderous thunk across the yard (最棒的是后门的砰砰声、下台阶的咚咚声以及穿过院子时沉重如雷的砰砰声)”可知，打开包装盒的感觉、橡胶的气味、靴子内部光滑的表面以及一些声音都是吸引作者的地方。选项中A、B、C均被提及，而D项“靴子踢门的声音”原文并未提及。 C Last night’s meteor(流星) shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers. According to Gabe Rothsclild, Emerald Valley’s mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead. “My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.” Astronomers—scientists who study stars and planets—have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it. There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats frogs, snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating birds. According to the International Dark-Sky Association. “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.” Countless more animals casualties result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase person’s chances of getting cancer. Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of high pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night. 8. It happened last night that . A. the meteors flew past before being noticed B. the city’s lights affected the meteor watching C. the city light show attracted many people D. the meteor watching ended up as a social outing 9. What do the astronomers complain about? A. Light pollution has remained unsolved for years. B. Their observation equipment is in poor repair. C. Meteor showers occur less often than before. D. Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting. 10. Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to . A. create an ideal observation condition B. lessen the chance of getting cancer C. ensure citizens a good sleep at night D. enable all creatures to live in harmony 11. What message does the author most want to give us? A. Saving wildlife is saving ourselves. B. Great efforts should be made to save energy. C. New equipment should be introduced for space study. D. Human activities should be environmentally friendly. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文从由于城市的光线太强影响人们看流星雨，谈到光污染给动物及人类带来的危害，最后想告诉人类活动应该是环保的。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.(相反，他们发现城市的灯光照亮了天空，使得头顶上流星的光线变暗了)”可知，昨晚发生的事情是，城市的灯光影响了流星观测。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Astronomers—scientists who study stars and planets—have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past.(天文学家——研究恒星和行星的科学家——已经抱怨这个问题几十年了。他们说，光污染使他们看不到过去很容易看到的天空物体)”可知，天文学家们抱怨光污染问题多年来一直没有得到解决。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory.(多年来，亚利桑那州的Flagstaff市为了帮助Lowell天文台的天文学家，在该市实施了照明规定)”可知，亚利桑那州的Flagstaff市实施了照明规定，为了帮助Lowell 观测站的天文学家创造更好的观察环境。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Countless more animals casualties result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase person’s chances of getting cancer.(不计其数的动物因使用人工照明而死亡。显然，人们享受夜晚照明的好处，但一些科学家认为它也可能对人类有害。他们担心睡觉时暴露在光线下会增加患癌症的几率)”结合文章主要讲述的是光污染的问题自己给人类以及动物所造成的不良影响。可推知，作者最想传达给我们的信息是：人类活动应该是环保的。故选D。 D Tasked with photographing one of the world’s most precious big cats, you go deep into the jungle of Southeast Asia and set up a camera trap. Back at base camp, you look through the images it captures, identifying monkeys, otters and finally, what you have been searching for: the mysterious clouded leopard. All this, without having to leave the comfort of your own home. A new mobile game, turns one of the largest-ever wildlife camera trap studies into a playable experience. The idea is that by letting players take on the role of a researcher in a real scientific study, the game helps people to better understand wildlife conservation science. The game is based on an ongoing, decade-long camera trap study by professor David Macdonald and his team at the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at the University of Oxford. The hope is that games can provide new ways for people to engage with endangered animals. “If you don’t have any encounter or experience with elements of nature, then what motivation can you have to take a personal interest in it?” says Macdonald. “I think that detail of understanding brings a great investment in wanting to see a good outcome.” It uses real photographs from the study and allows players to identify species within this rapidly worsening environment. “Of course, everyone loves attractive photography but there’s something just incredibly raw and real about capturing these animals’ moments,” says Macdonald. “I would like to think that engagement with this game will lead to a feeling of value, which will affect how they think about nature,” says Macdonald. “So, in that sense, we’d like to be part of a revolution on how people view the role of humanity, alongside the wider environment.” 12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To present a finding. B. To lead to the topic. C. To advertise a game. D. To demonstrate photographing in the wild. 13. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. The reason for using real photographs in the game. B. The present situation of the natural environment. C. The way of making the photos more appealing. D. The original source of the real photographs. 14. Which of the following is NOT the benefits of the mobile game? A. It popularizes the knowledge about the science of wildlife protection. B. It offers new methods for developing links with endangered species. C. It influences people to reflect on more about man and nature. D. It raises funds for the future research into wildlife. 15. What is Macdonald’s attitude towards the mobile game? A. Doubtful. B. Disapproving. C. Positive. D. Ignorant. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了一款基于牛津大学野外相机陷阱研究的手机游戏，旨在让玩家以研究员身份参与野生动物保护，增强人们对自然的关注。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中‌“Tasked with photographing one of the world’s most precious big cats, you go deep into the jungle of Southeast Asia and set up a camera trap. Back at base camp, you look through the images it captures, identifying monkeys, otters and finally, what you have been searching for: the mysterious clouded leopard.(任务是拍摄世界上最珍贵的大型猫科动物之一，你深入东南亚丛林，设置了一个相机陷阱。回到营地，你浏览拍摄到的图像，识别猴子、水獭，最终找到你一直在寻找的东西：神秘的云豹)”以及第二段中‌“All this, without having to leave the comfort of your own home. A new mobile game, turns one of the largest-ever wildlife camera trap studies into a playable experience.(这一切，都不需要离开你舒适的家。一款新的手机游戏，将有史以来最大的野生动物相机陷阱研究之一变成了可玩的体验)”可知，第一段通过描述野外拍摄的场景，在第二段才揭示这其实是一款手机游戏，因此第一段的目的是引出话题。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中‌“It uses real photographs from the study and allow players to identify species within this rapidly worsening environment. “Of course, everyone loves attractive photography but there’s something just incredibly raw and real about capturing these animals’ moments,” says Macdonald.(它使用研究中的真实照片，让玩家在这个迅速恶化的环境中识别物种。“当然，每个人都喜欢有吸引力的摄影，但捕捉这些动物的瞬间有着某种难以置信的原始和真实感，”麦克唐纳说)”可知，本段主要解释了游戏使用真实照片的原因——真实照片能带来原始、真实的体验。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。第二段中‌“the game helps people to better understand wildlife conservation science(这款游戏帮助人们更好地理解野生动物保护科学)”对应A项；第三段中‌“The hope is that games can provide new ways for people to engage with endangered animals(希望游戏能为人们提供与濒危动物互动的新方式)”对应B项；第五段中‌“we’d like to be part of a revolution on how people view the role of humanity, alongside the wider environment(我们希望成为人们如何看待人类与更广泛环境之间关系的一场革命的一部分)”对应C项；而D项‌“为未来的野生动物研究筹集资金”在文中从未提及。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中‌“The hope is that games can provide new ways for people to engage with endangered animals.(希望游戏能为人们提供与濒危动物互动的新方式。)”以及第五段中‌““I would like to think that engagement with this game will lead to a feeling of value, which will affect how they think about nature,” says Macdonald. “So, in that sense, we’d like to be part of a revolution on how people view the role of humanity, alongside the wider environment.”(“我愿意认为，与这款游戏的互动将带来一种价值感，这将影响他们对自然的看法，”麦克唐纳说。“所以，从这个意义上说，我们希望成为人们如何看待人类与更广泛环境之间关系的一场革命的一部分。”)”可知，Macdonald对游戏充满期待，认为它能带来积极影响，态度是肯定的、积极的。 第二节（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。 Every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them more pocket money. Why do their parents just give them a certain amount? ____16____ The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. _____17_____ Some children get weekly pocket money. Others get monthly pocket money. First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. At first, some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until it is the right time. ____18____ In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. Some experts think it not wise to pay the children for doing that. ____19____ Pocket money can give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with the money. They can spend it by giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. ____20____ Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing for children. A. They can save it for future use. B. Timing is another consideration. C. As helping at home is a normal part of family life. D. Some children are not good at managing their pocket money. E. Learning how to get money is very important for every child. F. One main purpose is to let kids learn how to manage their own money. G. By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget (预算). 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. G 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要是关于孩子如何使用零花钱的问题，作者给出了自己的看法。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“Why do their parents just give them a certain amount? (为什么他们的父母只给他们一定量的钱？)”可知，此处通过提问的方式介绍本文的话题，所以此空处应该是对问题做出回答，F项“One main purpose is to let kids learn how to manage their own money.(一个主要目的是让孩子们学会如何管理自己的钱。)”讲述的内容是给出父母只给一定量的钱的一个目的是让孩子学会管理自己的钱，对空前的问题做出回答，进而引出下文，符合语境。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据空后的“Some children get weekly pocket money. Others get monthly pocket money. (有些人的零用钱是每个星期给的。有的人的零用钱是每个月给的。)”可知，有的给孩子零花钱按周给，有的按月给，由此可知，此空处在讲给零用钱的时间相关，B选项“Timing is another consideration.(时间是另一个考虑因素。)”中的“Timing”与之呼应，引出空后的内容，符合语境。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. (首先，孩子们应该在消费和储蓄之间做出选择。然后，父母应该让孩子明白，他们应该用这些钱来支付什么。)”可知，本段主要讲述孩子如何花自己的零花钱，要在合适的时间花自己的零花钱，结合空前的“Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until it is the right time. (父母通常被建议在时机成熟之前不要给孩子更多的钱。)”可知，父母做的事情是在时机成熟前不要给孩子太多的钱，G选项中的“By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget (预算).(通过这样做，这些孩子将学会花钱必须有预算。)”中的内容呼应上文，说明钱不多，孩子们就会学会花钱要有预算，符合语境，By doing so指代空前父母的做法。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据空前的“In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. Some experts think it not wise to pay the children for doing that. (为了鼓励孩子做一些家务，如果孩子帮忙做家务一些父母就给零用钱。一些专家认为因为孩子做的付钱是不明智的。)”可知，专家认为给钱让孩子做家务是不明智的，C选项“As helping at home is a normal part of family life.(因为在家里帮忙是家庭生活的正常组成部分。)”中的“helping at home”与上文的“help around the home”呼应，并且进一步阐述了不应该因为做家务给孩子钱的原因，符合逻辑。故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据空后的“Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing for children. (储蓄可以帮助孩子们明白，昂贵的目标是需要牺牲的。储蓄也可以为孩子们打开未来储蓄和投资的大门。)”可知，此处讲述的是储蓄的好处，所以此空处应关于储蓄的话题，A选项“They can save it for future use.(他们可以存起来以备将来之用。)”中的“save”与空前的“saving”一致，进而在空后解释了帮助孩子储蓄的益处。故选A项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上相应番号处将该项涂黑。 In Semester 2 of 2023, I spent just over 6 months on exchange at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.

People would look at me ____29____ when I greeted them by asking: “How are you doing?”, which is so ____30____ in Australia. After multiple trips on the train, I also began to realize that the Danes ____31____ their private space in public so much. No one would ever dare take an empty seat next to another traveler ____32____ it was the very last one, and this really astonished me! Moments of realization like this happened throughout my ____33____, and I think that beyond all the teaching for my university courses, it was out and about in everyday life where the true learning happened during my time ____34____.

As his 60th birthday was around the corner, I had a special idea: What if I could get the memories people had of him, put each one into an envelope — 60 in total — and have him open them, one by one, on his birthday? So, I wrote an e-mail to family and friends and explained my idea. I sent the e-mail and waited. And then the replies started coming in and I was very, very astonished. There were so many memories, and they were all so lovely. They came from the 50s, 60s, 70s, from every decade between now and the day my dad was born. They came from my mother, my siblings, my grandma, my dad’s friends from high school, his sister, my dad’s first boss, a colleague at his first job, from people who hadn’t seen my dad in 40 years, from people I myself hadn’t even informed. They typed them and hand wrote them. They mailed them and e-mailed them. The night before Dad’s birthday, my sister and I stayed up late, putting the mails into envelopes. The next morning, after breakfast and presents and cake, we gave the pile of envelopes to him. “Just one more thing for you,” we said. It took him a long time to open them and read. Each one was a brief ticket to another time, a leap backward over years and decades. There was a lot of laughter and a few tears on his face. I was kind of sad when the project of the memories about my father was over because it was great fun to collect these memories. It gave me a different picture of dad. 46. 根据文本内容选择恰当的词，并使用正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项。 present impact brief explain celebrate approach eagerness unique memory amazed expect distant As my father was ________ 60, I had a ________ idea-I would send him a surprise gift. → I ________ the surprise gift to be one he’d never forget. ↓ I wrote an email to family and friends, ________ my idea. → I was ________ to receive many lovely replies. ↓ Replies came from a wide range of people, including ________ relatives, old friends, and even those I hadn’t informed. → My sister and I stayed up late, in our ________ to prepare the surprise gift. ↓ On the birthday morning, we ________ the pile of envelopes to him.

B Nothing screamed freedom for me as a kid like green rubber boots. Each winter meant new boots for my little brother and me. Sometimes they were Christmas presents, but more often they were simply necessities for two boys who took their job of getting dirty very seriously and whose feet grew like they stepped in fertilizer each night. Depending on the model, they might have long yellow laces (鞋带) all the way up the front and a strip of yellow rubber around the top. Sometimes we got the common slip-on kind, but I liked the lace-up type better. I loved threading those laces in and out and in and out and then fastened them down tight at the top to lock the legs of my overalls or jeans in place. You couldn’t maintain the wavy effect with the slip-on kind, so you couldn’t look like a British soldier for very long with those. The only drawback to the laces was that over time the plastic tip would wear off and the laces would be worn out. Then threading them through the eyes got to be a chore — especially when some weeds or insects would grab hold of the ends and make a sticky mess. Getting boots at the store was nice, but nothing was better than getting boots in a wrapped-up box. The best ones have a pretty lid (盖子) and open like a treasure chest. Sometimes a big sticker with a picture of the boots greeted us from under the wrapped paper. But every time, raising the lid released a sweet smell of rubbery goodness. I loved the smooth inside of the boot, and moving my toes in it. There was always plenty of space for growing feet. Then came the important walk around the room and up and down the hall, booming along on the hardwood floor. Best of all was the bang of the back door, the clumping down steps, and the heavy, thunderous thunk across the yard to the nearest hole of mud and freedom. 4. What made a boot necessary for me? A. Playing in dirt freely. B. Protecting the feet in winter. C. Stepping in fertilizer every night. D. Showing off as a Christmas present. 5. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The feature of rubber boots. B. My image in lace-up boots. C. The effect of rubber boots. D. My preference for lace-up boots. 6. What does the underlined word “drawback” in paragraph 3 mean?

According to Gabe Rothsclild, Emerald Valley’s mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead. “My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.” Astronomers—scientists who study stars and planets—have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it. There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats frogs, snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating birds. According to the International Dark-Sky Association. “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.” Countless more animals casualties result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase person’s chances of getting cancer. Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of high pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night. 8. It happened last night that . A. the meteors flew past before being noticed B. the city’s lights affected the meteor watching C. the city light show attracted many people D. the meteor watching ended up as a social outing 9. What do the astronomers complain about? A. Light pollution has remained unsolved for years. B. Their observation equipment is in poor repair. C. Meteor showers occur less often than before. D. Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting. 10. Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to . A. create an ideal observation condition B. lessen the chance of getting cancer C. ensure citizens a good sleep at night D. enable all creatures to live in harmony 11. What message does the author most want to give us? A. Saving wildlife is saving ourselves. B. Great efforts should be made to save energy. C. New equipment should be introduced for space study. D. Human activities should be environmentally friendly. D Tasked with photographing one of the world’s most precious big cats, you go deep into the jungle of Southeast Asia and set up a camera trap. Back at base camp, you look through the images it captures, identifying monkeys, otters and finally, what you have been searching for: the mysterious clouded leopard. All this, without having to leave the comfort of your own home. A new mobile game, turns one of the largest-ever wildlife camera trap studies into a playable experience. The idea is that by letting players take on the role of a researcher in a real scientific study, the game helps people to better understand wildlife conservation science. The game is based on an ongoing, decade-long camera trap study by professor David Macdonald and his team at the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at the University of Oxford. The hope is that games can provide new ways for people to engage with endangered animals. “If you don’t have any encounter or experience with elements of nature, then what motivation can you have to take a personal interest in it?” says Macdonald. “I think that detail of understanding brings a great investment in wanting to see a good outcome.” It uses real photographs from the study and allows players to identify species within this rapidly worsening environment. “Of course, everyone loves attractive photography but there’s something just incredibly raw and real about capturing these animals’ moments,” says Macdonald. “I would like to think that engagement with this game will lead to a feeling of value, which will affect how they think about nature,” says Macdonald. “So, in that sense, we’d like to be part of a revolution on how people view the role of humanity, alongside the wider environment.” 12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To present a finding. B. To lead to the topic. C. To advertise a game. D. To demonstrate photographing in the wild. 13. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. The reason for using real photographs in the game. B. The present situation of the natural environment. C. The way of making the photos more appealing. D. The original source of the real photographs. 14. Which of the following is NOT the benefits of the mobile game? A. It popularizes the knowledge about the science of wildlife protection. B. It offers new methods for developing links with endangered species. C. It influences people to reflect on more about man and nature. D. It raises funds for the future research into wildlife. 15. What is Macdonald’s attitude towards the mobile game? A. Doubtful. B. Disapproving. C. Positive. D. Ignorant. 第二节（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。 Every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them more pocket money.

As his 60th birthday was around the corner, I had a special idea: What if I could get the memories people had of him, put each one into an envelope — 60 in total — and have him open them, one by one, on his birthday? So, I wrote an e-mail to family and friends and explained my idea. I sent the e-mail and waited. And then the replies started coming in and I was very, very astonished. There were so many memories, and they were all so lovely. They came from the 50s, 60s, 70s, from every decade between now and the day my dad was born. They came from my mother, my siblings, my grandma, my dad’s friends from high school, his sister, my dad’s first boss, a colleague at his first job, from people who hadn’t seen my dad in 40 years, from people I myself hadn’t even informed. They typed them and hand wrote them. They mailed them and e-mailed them. The night before Dad’s birthday, my sister and I stayed up late, putting the mails into envelopes. The next morning, after breakfast and presents and cake, we gave the pile of envelopes to him. “Just one more thing for you,” we said. It took him a long time to open them and read. Each one was a brief ticket to another time, a leap backward over years and decades. There was a lot of laughter and a few tears on his face. I was kind of sad when the project of the memories about my father was over because it was great fun to collect these memories. It gave me a different picture of dad. 46. 根据文本内容选择恰当的词，并使用正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项。 present impact brief explain celebrate approach eagerness unique memory amazed expect distant As my father was ________ 60, I had a ________ idea-I would send him a surprise gift. → I ________ the surprise gift to be one he’d never forget. ↓ I wrote an email to family and friends, ________ my idea. → I was ________ to receive many lovely replies. ↓ Replies came from a wide range of people, including ________ relatives, old friends, and even those I hadn’t informed. → My sister and I stayed up late, in our ________ to prepare the surprise gift. ↓ On the birthday morning, we ________ the pile of envelopes to him.
