A
The Web of Life
Every living thing on Earth is connected. An ecosystem is a community of plants, animals, and microorganisms interacting with their physical environment. Ecosystems can be as small as a pond or as large as an entire forest. They provide essential services that humans often take for granted. Forests purify the air, store carbon, and produce oxygen. Wetlands filter pollutants from water and absorb floodwaters. Oceans regulate the climate and provide food for billions of people.
Wildlife is an integral part of these systems. Every species, from the smallest insect to the largest whale, plays a role. Pollinators like bees and butterflies help plants reproduce. Predators like wolves keep prey populations in check. Decomposers like fungi break down dead matter, returning nutrients to the soil. When one species disappears, it can trigger a cascade of effects throughout the ecosystem. For example, the loss of sea otters led to an explosion of sea urchins, which then destroyed kelp forests, which were home to many fish species.
Forests are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. The Amazon rainforest alone is home to an estimated 10 percent of all known species. Mountains, with their steep slopes and varying altitudes, host unique plants and animals adapted to harsh conditions. Rivers provide fresh water and serve as migration routes for fish. Oceans cover more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface and contain the largest volume of living space. Coral reefs, sometimes called the rainforests of the sea, support a quarter of all marine species despite covering less than one percent of the ocean floor. Wetlands are transitional zones between land and water. They are breeding grounds for birds, fish, and amphibians. They also act as natural sponges, reducing flooding and erosion.
Natural resources such as fresh water, fertile soil, and timber are finite. Human activities like overfishing, deforestation, and pollution are pushing ecosystems to the brink. Protecting these systems is not just about saving cute animals; it is about preserving the life-support systems that all humans depend on.
31.What service do wetlands provide according to the passage?
A.They produce oxygen.
B.They filter pollutants and absorb floodwaters.
C.They regulate the climate.
D.They provide timber.
32.What happened when sea otters disappeared?
A.Sea urchins decreased.
B.Sea urchins exploded and destroyed kelp forests.
C.Fish populations increased.
D.Coral reefs grew.
33.What percentage of marine species do coral reefs support?
A.About 5 percent.
B.About 15 percent.
C.About 25 percent.
D.About 50 percent.
34.Why are natural resources described as "finite"?
A.Because they are unlimited.
B.Because they can be used up if not managed carefully.
C.Because they are found everywhere.
D.Because they are renewable forever.
35.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Only forests matter for the environment.
B.Humans do not depend on natural resources.
C.Ecosystems and wildlife are interconnected, and their protection is essential for human survival.
D.Oceans are the only important ecosystem.
B
Lightning can be extremely powerful and cause serious problems on the ground. Lightning strikes can cause fires, destroy buildings, and kill people. The damage from lightning costs billions of dollars every year. In the US, lightning strikes caused the death of about 450 people between 2006 and 2021. Less lightning means fewer losses in human life, and that’s why scientists have been working on the related technology to improve lightning protection.
Currently, the best way to protect buildings from lightning is by putting metal rods (杆) on the buildings. These rods are connected to the ground. The lightning is attracted to the rods, which safely guide the electricity into the ground. But lightning rods can only protect a small area. If a building is very large, it needs a lot of lightning rods. But some buildings, such as airports, are so large that it’s difficult to protect the whole building using lightning rods.
One idea is to use lasers (激光) to guide lightning, which is not novel. Scientists have been working on it for over 20 years and have successfully guided lightning with lasers inside a laboratory. But scientists hadn’t been able to guide lightning with lasers outside until the summer of 2021. Using a powerful laser that can fire about 1,000 times a second, scientists in Switzerland were able to guide lightning strikes for 164 feet. The heat from the laser creates a path of air that is less thick than the air around it. The path also has a special charge (电荷). The lightning can follow this path almost as if it were a lightning rod. That the scientists managed to experiment with the laser in an outdoor environment is a very big step.
Despite the progress, the laser still didn’t guide the lightning as far as the scientists would like. To protect buildings from most lightning, lasers will have to guide the lightning for a much longer distance. Lasers are also very expensive. It will probably take 10 or more years before a laser like this is truly able to protect large buildings.
36.What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph?
A.To encourage readers to use lightning rods.
B.To call on readers to protect the environment.
C.To explain the importance of preventing lightning.
D.To remind readers to stay safe during lightning storms.
37.What is the disadvantage of lightning rods?
A.Their short service life.
B.Their limited coverage.
C.Their expensive material.
D.Their low speed of guiding electricity.
38.What does the underlined word “novel” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.New. B.Effective. C.Confusing. D.Costly.
39.What did the scientists use the laser for?
A.Reducing the heat of lightning.
B.Changing the path of lightning.
C.Slowing down the speed of lightning.
D.Protecting the lightning rod from damage.
40.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The laser works better in a lab.
B.The technology has yet to be perfected.
C.The research result will soon benefit humans.
D.The scientists think poorly of the lightning rod.

第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)
阅读表达
What is one of the best parts of traveling abroad? It’s the food , of course! Eating different foods native to a country, authentically (地道地) prepared by locals, is special. Trying these native foods will widen what you know about a country’s cuisine. I discovered that this is true for Chinese food. Chinese food in China is much more diverse and rich in tastes and spices (香料) than I had ever imagined before my travels.
Before traveling to China, I was a little worried about whether I would really enjoy the food or not. I was not sure what types of food I would be trying, but I have always enjoyed eating Chinese food in Massachusetts. However, I was only used to the spring rolls and Gong Bao Chicken of American Chinese cuisine.
Don’t get me wrong. I still love these dishes from my local Chinese restaurants! However, I did not realize how much variety of food there actually was to try in China and the cultural differences that I would learn to understand during my time abroad.
In my first few days, I fell in love with one of Beijing’s most famous dishes called Peking duck. Some of my friends had told me that we were going to one of the best Peking duck restaurants in Beijing, and they were not wrong! The Peking duck we ate surprised us, with thin, crisp (酥脆的) skin on the outside, delicious duck meat on the inside and various tasty sauces.
As I began trying new foods like Guilin mifen (rice noodles), I started to love these foods that I had never tried before in my life. While I was in Chengdu, I even learned about the ingredients (原料) of an authentic “huo guo”(hot pot).
After my time abroad in China, I realized how much I enjoyed eating and trying new foods. I also soon realized that the Chinese food here in America is different from that actually in China.
46.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? (no more than 15 words)
47.What does the underlined word “diverse” probably mean in Paragraph 1? (1 word)
48.What did the author worry about before going to China? (no more than 10 words)
49.What did the author think of Peking duck? (no more than 10 words)
50.What changes have you seen in the author? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)

The Web of Life
Every living thing on Earth is connected. An ecosystem is a community of plants, animals, and microorganisms interacting with their physical environment. Ecosystems can be as small as a pond or as large as an entire forest. They provide essential services that humans often take for granted. Forests purify the air, store carbon, and produce oxygen. Wetlands filter pollutants from water and absorb floodwaters. Oceans regulate the climate and provide food for billions of people.
Wildlife is an integral part of these systems. Every species, from the smallest insect to the largest whale, plays a role. Pollinators like bees and butterflies help plants reproduce. Predators like wolves keep prey populations in check. Decomposers like fungi break down dead matter, returning nutrients to the soil. When one species disappears, it can trigger a cascade of effects throughout the ecosystem. For example, the loss of sea otters led to an explosion of sea urchins, which then destroyed kelp forests, which were home to many fish species.
Forests are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. The Amazon rainforest alone is home to an estimated 10 percent of all known species. Mountains, with their steep slopes and varying altitudes, host unique plants and animals adapted to harsh conditions. Rivers provide fresh water and serve as migration routes for fish. Oceans cover more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface and contain the largest volume of living space. Coral reefs, sometimes called the rainforests of the sea, support a quarter of all marine species despite covering less than one percent of the ocean floor. Wetlands are transitional zones between land and water. They are breeding grounds for birds, fish, and amphibians. They also act as natural sponges, reducing flooding and erosion.
Natural resources such as fresh water, fertile soil, and timber are finite. Human activities like overfishing, deforestation, and pollution are pushing ecosystems to the brink. Protecting these systems is not just about saving cute animals; it is about preserving the life-support systems that all humans depend on.
31.What service do wetlands provide according to the passage?
A.They produce oxygen.
B.They filter pollutants and absorb floodwaters.

【答案】31.B 32.B 33.C 34.B 35.C
【导语】文章讲述万物构成彼此关联的生态系统,各类生态环境发挥独特作用,人类破坏资源会危及生态,保护生态就是守护人类赖以生存的环境。
【详解】31.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Wetlands filter pollutants from water and absorb floodwaters.(湿地过滤水中污染物并且蓄积洪水。)”可知,湿地可以过滤污染物、吸纳洪水。
32.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For example, the loss of sea otters led to an explosion of sea urchins, which then destroyed kelp forests, which were home to many fish species.(例如,海獭消失致使海胆数量暴增,进而摧毁了作为众多鱼类栖息地的海藻林。)”可知,海獭消失后海胆泛滥并毁坏了海藻林。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Coral reefs, sometimes called the rainforests of the sea, support a quarter of all marine species despite covering less than one percent of the ocean floor.(珊瑚礁素有海洋雨林之称,虽占地洋底不足百分之一,却养育四分之一的海洋生物。)”可知,珊瑚礁养育四分之一的海洋生物,即25%的海洋生物。
34.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Natural resources such as fresh water, fertile soil, and timber are finite. Human activities like overfishing, deforestation, and pollution are pushing ecosystems to the brink.(淡水、沃土、木材等自然资源储量有限,过度捕捞、滥砍滥伐与污染等人类活动正让生态系统濒临绝境。)”可知,资源有限,不合理利用就会枯竭。
35.主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Every living thing on Earth is connected. An ecosystem is a community of plants, animals, and microorganisms interacting with their physical environment.(地球上所有生物彼此关联,生态系统是动植物、微生物与环境相互作用的整体。)”以及尾段中的 “Protecting these systems is not just about saving cute animals; it is about preserving the life-support systems that all humans depend on.(保护生态不只是保护动物,更是守护人类赖以生存的生命支撑系统。)”可知,文章说明生态与生物环环相扣,保护生态对人类至关重要。
B
Lightning can be extremely powerful and cause serious problems on the ground. Lightning strikes can cause fires, destroy buildings, and kill people. The damage from lightning costs billions of dollars every year. In the US, lightning strikes caused the death of about 450 people between 2006 and 2021. Less lightning means fewer losses in human life, and that’s why scientists have been working on the related technology to improve lightning protection.
Currently, the best way to protect buildings from lightning is by putting metal rods (杆) on the buildings. These rods are connected to the ground. The lightning is attracted to the rods, which safely guide the electricity into the ground. But lightning rods can only protect a small area. If a building is very large, it needs a lot of lightning rods. But some buildings, such as airports, are so large that it’s difficult to protect the whole building using lightning rods.
One idea is to use lasers (激光) to guide lightning, which is not novel. Scientists have been working on it for over 20 years and have successfully guided lightning with lasers inside a laboratory. But scientists hadn’t been able to guide lightning with lasers outside until the summer of 2021. Using a powerful laser that can fire about 1,000 times a second, scientists in Switzerland were able to guide lightning strikes for 164 feet. The heat from the laser creates a path of air that is less thick than the air around it. The path also has a special charge (电荷). The lightning can follow this path almost as if it were a lightning rod. That the scientists managed to experiment with the laser in an outdoor environment is a very big step.
Despite the progress, the laser still didn’t guide the lightning as far as the scientists would like. To protect buildings from most lightning, lasers will have to guide the lightning for a much longer distance. Lasers are also very expensive. It will probably take 10 or more years before a laser like this is truly able to protect large buildings.
36.What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph?
A.To encourage readers to use lightning rods.
B.To call on readers to protect the environment.
C.To explain the importance of preventing lightning.
D.To remind readers to stay safe during lightning storms.
37.What is the disadvantage of lightning rods?
A.Their short service life.
B.Their limited coverage.
C.Their expensive material.
D.Their low speed of guiding electricity.
38.What does the underlined word “novel” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.New. B.Effective. C.Confusing. D.Costly.
39.What did the scientists use the laser for?
A.Reducing the heat of lightning.
B.Changing the path of lightning.
C.Slowing down the speed of lightning.
D.Protecting the lightning rod from damage.
40.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The laser works better in a lab.
B.The technology has yet to be perfected.
C.The research result will soon benefit humans.
D.The scientists think poorly of the lightning rod.
【答案】36.C 37.B 38.A 39.B 40.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍闪电的危害、传统避雷针的局限性,以及激光引导闪电技术的研究进展与现存问题。
36.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Lightning can be extremely powerful and cause serious problems on the ground. Lightning strikes can cause fires, destroy buildings, and kill people. The damage from lightning costs billions of dollars every year. In the US, lightning strikes caused the death of about 450 people between 2006 and 2021. Less lightning means fewer losses in human life, and that’s why scientists have been working on the related technology to improve lightning protection.(闪电的威力极大,会在地面造成严重后果。雷击可能引发火灾、摧毁建筑物,甚至导致人员死亡。每年,闪电造成的损失高达数十亿美元。在美国,2006年至2021年间,雷击导致约450人死亡。闪电出现的次数越少,生命损失就越少,这也是科学家们一直在研究相关技术以改进防雷措施的原因。)”可知,作者通过阐述闪电的巨大危害(引发火灾、摧毁建筑、导致人员死亡、造成巨额损失),引出防雷技术研究的必要性,其目的是解释防雷的重要性。故选C项。
37.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But lightning rods can only protect a small area. If a building is very large, it needs a lot of lightning rods. But some buildings, such as airports, are so large that it’s difficult to protect the whole building using lightning rods.(但避雷针只能保护一小块区域。如果建筑物很大,就需要很多避雷针。但有些建筑,比如机场,规模如此之大,以至于很难用避雷针保护整个建筑。)”可知,避雷针的缺点是覆盖范围有限。故选B项。
38.词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“But scientists hadn’t been able to guide lightning with lasers outside until the summer of 2021. Using a powerful laser that can fire about 1,000 times a second, scientists in Switzerland were able to guide lightning strikes for 164 feet. Scientists have been working on it for over 20 years and have successfully guided lightning with lasers inside a laboratory.(但直到2021年夏天,科学家们才得以在户外用激光引导闪电。瑞士科学家使用了一款每秒可发射约1000次的高能激光,成功将雷击引导了164英尺。科学家们已经研究了20多年,并在实验室里成功用激光引导了闪电。)”可知,“用激光引导闪电”这一想法并非新出现的,因此“novel”意为“新的”。故选A项。
39.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The heat from the laser creates a path of air that is less thick than the air around it. The path also has a special charge. The lightning can follow this path almost as if it were a lightning rod.(激光产生的热量会形成一条空气通道,这条通道的空气密度比周围的小。这条通道还带有特殊电荷。闪电可以沿着这条通道移动,就像沿着避雷针一样。)”可知,科学家使用激光是为了创造一条新的通道,从而改变闪电的路径。故选B项。
40.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Despite the progress, the laser still didn’t guide the lightning as far as the scientists would like. To protect buildings from most lightning, lasers will have to guide the lightning for a much longer distance. Lasers are also very expensive. It will probably take 10 or more years before a laser like this is truly able to protect large buildings.(尽管已取得进展,但这种激光引导闪电的距离仍未达到科学家们的预期。要保护建筑物免受大多数闪电的侵袭,激光必须能引导闪电传播更远的距离。此外,激光的成本也非常高昂。这类激光要真正能够保护大型建筑物,可能还需要10年甚至更久的时间。)”可推知,激光引导闪电技术目前仍存在不足(引导距离不够、成本高),尚未完善。故选B项。

第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)
阅读表达
What is one of the best parts of traveling abroad? It’s the food , of course! Eating different foods native to a country, authentically (地道地) prepared by locals, is special. Trying these native foods will widen what you know about a country’s cuisine. I discovered that this is true for Chinese food. Chinese food in China is much more diverse and rich in tastes and spices (香料) than I had ever imagined before my travels.
Before traveling to China, I was a little worried about whether I would really enjoy the food or not. I was not sure what types of food I would be trying, but I have always enjoyed eating Chinese food in Massachusetts. However, I was only used to the spring rolls and Gong Bao Chicken of American Chinese cuisine.
Don’t get me wrong. I still love these dishes from my local Chinese restaurants! However, I did not realize how much variety of food there actually was to try in China and the cultural differences that I would learn to understand during my time abroad.
In my first few days, I fell in love with one of Beijing’s most famous dishes called Peking duck. Some of my friends had told me that we were going to one of the best Peking duck restaurants in Beijing, and they were not wrong! The Peking duck we ate surprised us, with thin, crisp (酥脆的) skin on the outside, delicious duck meat on the inside and various tasty sauces.
As I began trying new foods like Guilin mifen (rice noodles), I started to love these foods that I had never tried before in my life. While I was in Chengdu, I even learned about the ingredients (原料) of an authentic “huo guo”(hot pot).
After my time abroad in China, I realized how much I enjoyed eating and trying new foods. I also soon realized that the Chinese food here in America is different from that actually in China.
46.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? (no more than 15 words)
47.What does the underlined word “diverse” probably mean in Paragraph 1? (1 word)
48.What did the author worry about before going to China? (no more than 10 words)
49.What did the author think of Peking duck? (no more than 10 words)
50.What changes have you seen in the author? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
【答案】46.Eating actual local food improves the understanding of a country’s cuisine. 47.Various. 48.Whether he could get used to the local dishes. 49.It was really amazing. 50.After traveling to China, he began keeping an open mind to new food.
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者在去中国尝试中国美食后意识到自己是多么喜欢吃和尝试新的食物。
【详解】46.考查词句猜测。根据第一段中“Trying these native foods will widen what you know about a country’s cuisine. I discovered that this is true for Chinese food.(尝试这些本地食物会拓宽你对一个国家美食的了解。我发现中餐也是如此)”可知,this指代前文的“吃真正的当地食物可以增进对一个国家美食的了解”,故答案为Eating actual local food improves the understanding of a country’s cuisine.
47.考查词句猜测。划线词和形容词“rich(丰富的)”并列,结合第三段中“I did not realize how much variety of food there actually was to try in China(我并没有意识到在中国有这么多的食物可以尝试)”可知,划线词所在句意为“中国的中餐比我旅行前想象的更加多样化,口味和香料都更加丰富”,diverse意为“多种多样的”,故答案为Various.
48.考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Before traveling to China, I was a little worried about whether I would really enjoy the food or not.(在去中国旅行之前,我有点担心我是否真的喜欢那里的食物)”和“However, I was only used to the spring rolls and Gong Bao Chicken of American Chinese cuisine.(然而,我只习惯了美式中餐的春卷和宫保鸡丁)”可知,去中国之前,作者担心自己能否适应当地食物,故答案为Whether he could get used to the local dishes.
49.考查推理判断。根据第四段中“The Peking duck we ate surprised us, with thin, crisp (酥脆的) skin on the outside, delicious duck meat on the inside and various tasty sauces.(我们吃到的北京烤鸭让我们大吃一惊,外面是薄而脆的皮,里面是美味的鸭肉,还有各种美味的酱汁)”可知,作者认为北京烤鸭令人惊艳,故答案为It was really amazing.
50.考查推理判断。根据第二段中“Before traveling to China, I was a little worried about whether I would really enjoy the food or not.(在去中国旅行之前,我有点担心我是否真的喜欢那里的食物)”可知,去中国之前作者担心自己能否习惯中国的食物,结合最后一段中“After my time abroad in China, I realized how much I enjoyed eating and trying new foods.(在中国待了一段时间后,我意识到我是多么喜欢吃和尝试新的食物)”可知,去了中国之后,作者开始对新食物保持开放态度,故答案为After traveling to China, he began keeping an open mind to new food.
