A
Four Dream Holidays
★See a Penguin
This is a once-in-a-lifetime holiday in the snow and ice of the Antarctica. You can see animals and birds you only see on TV or in zoos. The trip starts in South Africa and finishes in Western Australia. You travel on a Russian ship, Kapitan Khlebnikov, and the holiday lasts for just under a month.
★Go on Safari
This holiday is a trip to see wild animals with a difference. You travel by helicopter (直升飞机) over parts of Kenya, listening to music as you fly, and then you sleep under the African stars in a comfortable bed. There’s another trip in a hot-air balloon, which gives you a second chance to see wild animals. The best moment is the Elephant Watch in Samburu, where your experienced guide can tell you all about these amazing animals.
★Live like Robinson Crusoe
If you dream of life on a quiet island, then this is the holiday for you. The island of Quilalea is off the coast of Mozambique and you can only see turtles (海龟) and a few tourists there. You may live like Robinson Crusoe: watch the turtles, go fishing, or travel in a boat to another island to have a picnic.
★Fly High
This is probably the most expensive holiday in the world. You can go on a flight into space and travel around the Earth in a spaceship — if you have the money! The only problem with this holiday is the six-day training course before you take the trip. You travel above the Earth for between 30 and 90 minutes and you get a beautiful view of our green and blue planet.
1. What can you see in Go on Safari holiday?
A. Outer space. B. Wild animals. C. Sea turtles. D. Russian ships.
2. If you prefer a holiday on a quiet island, which would be the best choice?
A. See a Penguin. B. Go on Safari.
C. Live like Robinson Crusoe. D. Fly High.

A. To explain dreams. B. To share geography knowledge.

Sri Nihal Tammana, age 13, of Edison, New Jersey, was named a winner of the 2022 Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes. The Barron Prize annually honors 25 outstanding young leaders who have made a significant positive impact on people, their communities, and the environment.
Nihal founded Recycle My Battery to promote and facilitate the recycling of used batteries. His nonprofit places free battery recycling bins(箱子)and educates young people and adults about battery recycling. In just three years he has built a team of more than 250 student volunteers across the globe who have recycled nearly 200,000 batteries and educated millions of people. Nihal learned at age 10 that 15 billion batteries are thrown away each year and that most end up in landfills(垃圾填埋地)where they pollute groundwater, harm the ecosystem, and can cause catastrophic fires. Inspired to tackle the problem, he began collecting used batteries from his community. He put them in free recycling bins at stores like Staples until he was told he was bringing too many and had to stop.
Undeterred, he reached out for help from Call2Recycle, the largest battery recycling nonprofit in North America. Call2Recycle agreed to assist and provided recycling bins for free, which were placed in schools, libraries, and other public places. Nihal’s organization now operates across the U.S. and is expanding to other countries including Canada, Switzerland, and India. “Earth gives us so much — oxygen, food, water — everything! So it’s important that we give something back when we can,” says Nihal.
The Barron Prize was founded in 2001 by author T. A. Barron. “Nothing is more inspiring than stories about heroic people who have truly made a difference to the world,” says T. A. Barron. “And we need our heroes today more than ever. Not celebrities, but heroes — people whose character can inspire us all. That is the purpose of the Barron Prize: to shine the spotlight on these amazing young people so that their stories will inspire others.”
4. What does Recycle My Battery intend to do?
A. Protect the earth from used batteries. B. Promote used batteries across the globe.
C. Make money by collecting used batteries. D. Stop people throwing used batteries away.
5. What does the underlined word “Undeterred” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Undiscouraged. B. Unprepared. C. Unsurprised. D. Uninterested.
6. How did Call2Recycle help Nihal’s organization?
A. By making it go global. B. By offering free recycling bins.
C. By providing financial support. D. By buying more used batteries.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. The importance of recycling batteries.
B. The impact of batteries on the environment.
C. The achievements of the Barron Prize winners.
D. The inspiring story of a young environmentalist.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了12岁的Gloria Barron Prize得主Sri Nihal Tammana保护地球免受废旧电池污染的励志故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Nihal founded Recycle My Battery to promote and facilitate the recycling of used batteries. His nonprofit places free battery recycling bins (箱子) and educates young people and adults about battery recycling.(Nihal成立了Recycle My Battery,以促进和促进废旧电池的回收。他的非营利组织提供免费的电池回收箱,并教育年轻人和成年人有关电池回收的知识)”可知,Recycle My Battery旨在保护地球免受废旧电池的污染,故选A。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。第二段末句“He put them in free recycling bins at stores like Staples until he was told he was bringing too many and had to stop.(他把它们放在Staples等商店的免费回收箱里,直到有人告诉他带的太多了,他不得不停止)”提到他不得不停止将废旧电池放到回收箱,结合划线词后文“he reached out for help from Call2Recycle(他向Call2Recycle寻求帮助)”可知,他向Call2Recycle寻求帮助,说明他没有气馁,Undeterred意为“不屈不挠的,没有气馁的”,故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Call2Recycle agreed to assist and provided recycling bins for free, which were placed in schools, libraries, and other public places.(Call2Recycle同意提供帮助,并免费提供回收箱,这些回收箱放置在学校,图书馆和其他公共场所)”可知,Call2Recycle组织通过提供免费的回收箱来帮助Nihal的组织,故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段“Sri Nihal Tammana, age 13, of Edison, New Jersey, was named a winner of the 2022 Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes. The Barron Prize annually honors 25 outstanding young leaders who have made a significant positive impact on people, their communities, and the environment.(来自新泽西州爱迪生的13岁的Sri Nihal Tammana被提名为2022年Gloria Barron青年英雄奖的获得者。Barron Prize每年表彰25位对人类、社区和环境产生重大积极影响的杰出青年领袖)”和最后一段中“That is the purpose of the Barron Prize: to shine the spotlight on these amazing young people so that their stories will inspire others.(这就是Barron Prize的目的:让这些了不起的年轻人受到关注,这样他们的故事就会激励其他人)”可知,文章主要介绍了12岁的Gloria Barron Prize得主Sri Nihal Tammana保护地球免受废旧电池污染的励志故事,D项“一位年轻环保主义者的励志故事”能够总结文章大意,故选D。

An upcoming wearable device (设备) for the blind could help them move around public and outdoor spaces on their own, acting as “glasses” that guide them. The glasses are actually a headset, similar to the ones you might wear for VR (Virtual Reality) experiences. Unlike those headsets, this one doesn’t show any pictures. Instead, it delivers soft shakes on your forehead, along with sound from built-in speakers, to guide you through public areas.
The device is noticeable in design. It has a sizeable sensor fixed on the forehead, a camera set in the front, and a large battery group at the back. It supports up to two hours of use on a single charge, and the whole package weighs 1 kg. The AI-powered system works out sensor readings (传感器读数) over 100 times a second. It helps the device understand where you’re walking and what’s in front of you, so you can avoid things that block the way.
You can use your voice to ask for guidance to specific places. You can set locations like “home” or “work” in advance, and the device will understand simple instructions like “take me to my office”, then lead you all the way to the right building.
The device may take the place of a guide dog, which is perhaps the best possible choice for blind people to find their way around. But that means a long wait and requires the blind to take on the big responsibility of caring for the dog over several years.
So far, the company has invited more than 400 blind users in over 40 countries to test the glasses in real environments. If the device can deliver on its promise, it will provide a new level of personal freedom to people around the world living with blindness.
8. What does the device depend on to guide the blind through public areas?
A. A VR headphone. B. Shakes and sound.
C. A separate speaker. D. Pictures and videos.
9. What can we learn about the device from paragraph 2?
A. Its design is quite ordinary.
B. It can sense walking speed.
C. It can check road conditions.
D. Its battery can last very long.
10. Why does the author mention a guide dog?
A. To promote the use of a guide dog.
B. To stress the weakness of the device.
C. To show a possible future of the device.
D. To tell the difficulty in raising a guide dog.
11. What does the underlined word “promise” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Test service. B. Real situations.
C. Technology support. D. Expected functions.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍一款新型盲人引导设备的原理、功能及优势,有望助力盲人自由出行。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Instead, it delivers soft shakes on your forehead, along with sound from built-in speakers, to guide you through public areas.(相反,它通过额头的轻微震动以及内置扬声器的声音,引导使用者在公共区域行走。)”可知,该设备依靠震动和声音引导盲人出行。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“It helps the device understand where you’re walking and what’s in front of you, so you can avoid things that block the way.(它能帮助设备感知行走位置和前方事物,让使用者避开障碍物。)”可知,这款设备可以检测路况、规避障碍。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The device may take the place of a guide dog, which is perhaps the best possible choice for blind people to find their way around. But that means a long wait and requires the blind to take on the big responsibility of caring for the dog over several years.(该设备有望替代导盲犬。导盲犬向来是盲人出行的优选,但申领导盲犬往往需要漫长等待,而且盲人还要承担起多年照料狗狗的重任。)”可知,作者提到导盲犬是为了展示该设备可能取代导盲犬的未来前景。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“If the device can deliver on its promise, it will provide a new level of personal freedom to people around the world living with blindness.(倘若它能达到promise,将会为全球盲人带来更高的行动自由。)”可知,倘若它能达到预期效果,将会为全球盲人带来更高的行动自由。promise指代这款设备原本“预期具备的各项功能与效果”。

Wildlife tourism can be a powerful supporter in protecting nature, but it can also harm it. The question of whether wildlife travel is, on balance, good for wildlife is a difficult one, and there’s no simple answer. The World Travel & Tourism Council reported in 2019 that wildlife tourism contributes $120.1 billion to the global GDP, yet tourism makes up about 8% of global greenhouse gases, a major driver of climate change and biodiversity (生物多样性) loss.
Visiting popular wildlife destinations such as the Great Barrier Reef or Galapagos Islands often includes air travel, which disturbs (打扰) animals and can lead to habitat loss. Studies have shown that tourists can disturb nesting seabirds and feeding sea lions, and that dolphins and whales may change their behavior to avoid areas frequented by boats. Over-development of resources, introduction of non-native species, and pollution are other issues caused by tourism.
Despite these disadvantages, many believe that properly organized tourism can play an important role in conservation (保护). The World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF) stated that international tourism can aid in fighting against poverty, cultural understanding, and biodiversity conservation. Data show that over 47,000 species are threatened with extinction, stressing the need for biodiversity conservation efforts.
Tourism can be an important contributor to protected-area management costs, especially in areas lacking funding sources. For example, in Galapagos Islands, marine-based tourism brings nearly $178million every year. However, depending on tourism for conservation funding raises concerns. While accommodation providers and tour operators are increasingly applying environmentally friendly practices, it’s important to reflect on the impacts of our travel choices. We must consider the frequency of flights taken and the conservation, and community benefits of each trip. The first step to travel responsibly is being aware of these impacts and trying to maximize benefits while minimizing harm to wildlife and habitats.
In conclusion, wildlife tourism can promote economic development and provide funding for nature protection but it requires careful planning to ensure the results. It’s an issue that demands thoughtful consideration of our travel habits and their broader influence on the environment.
12. What is one concern regarding wildlife tourism according to the text?
A. Economic loss. B. Cultural difference.
C. Habitat disturbance. D. Crowded destinations.
13. What does the WWF statement show about travelling abroad?
A. It’s a threat to biodiversity. B. It’s a source of climate change.
C. It’s a possible conservation tool. D. It’s the main conservation funder.
14. What does the author think of the dependence on tourism?
A. It’s a risky method. B. It’s an excellent idea.
C. It’s overrated. D. It’s certainly fail-safe.
15. What might the author agree with?
A. Managed tourism helps conservation. B. Wildlife won’t be harmed by tourism.
C. Biodiversity conservation lacks funding. D. Environmentally friendly tourism is impossible.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要探讨了野生动物旅游对自然的双重影响,分析了其利弊并指出合理规划才能实现保护与发展的平衡。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Visiting popular wildlife destinations such as the Great Barrier Reef or Galapagos Islands often includes air travel, which disturbs (打扰) animals and can lead to habitat loss. (前往大堡礁、加拉帕戈斯群岛等热门野生动物旅游胜地,通常需要乘坐飞机,而航空旅行会惊扰动物,并可能导致栖息地丧失。)”可知,人们对野生动物旅游的担忧之一是栖息地受到干扰。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF) stated that international tourism can aid in fighting against poverty, cultural understanding, and biodiversity conservation. (世界自然基金会(WWF)指出,国际旅游有助于抗击贫困、促进文化理解与保护生物多样性。)”可知,世界自然基金会的声明表明出国旅游可以成为一种保护手段。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“However, depending on tourism for conservation funding raises concerns. While accommodation providers and tour operators are increasingly applying environmentally friendly practices, it’s important to reflect on the impacts of our travel choices. (然而,依靠旅游业为自然保护提供资金引发了担忧。尽管住宿提供商和旅游运营商正越来越多地采用环保做法,但反思我们旅行选择所带来的影响依然十分重要。)”可知,作者认为依赖旅游业来提供资金是有风险的。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Despite these disadvantages, many believe that properly organized tourism can play an important role in conservation (保护) . (尽管存在这些弊端,许多人仍认为组织得当的旅游业能在自然保护中发挥重要作用。 )”以及最后一段“In conclusion, wildlife tourism can promote economic development and provide funding for nature protection but it requires careful planning to ensure the results. (总之,野生动物旅游可以促进经济发展,并为自然保护提供资金,但它需要周密规划才能确保达到预期效果。)”可知, 作者认为野生动物旅游业可以促进经济发展并为自然保护提供资金支持,但需要精心规划以确保结果对保护有利,即精心管理的旅游业才能有助于野生动物保护。

A TV discussion program invites three guests to talk about industrial pollution in Milltown, and they hold totally different ideas.
Jack Lee, a local resident, protests ____36____ heavy industry.

【解析】
【导语】主要介绍一档电视讨论节目中三位嘉宾针对米尔敦镇工业污染问题所持有的不同观点与治理主张。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:当地居民杰克·李抗议重工业。此处为固定搭配protest against,意为“抗议、反对”,所以此处为介词against。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:他刚定居这里时,空气清新、草木翠绿、河水清澈,但重工业工厂入驻这片区域后,一切变得完全不同。此处修饰形容词different,需要副词作状语,entire对应的副词为entirely意为“完全地”。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他甚至患上了无法摆脱的胸口疼痛。此处为关系词引导的定语从句修饰先行词a pain,先行词指事物,从句中缺少宾语,所以用关系代词that/which。
【39题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:仅出于健康和安全方面的原因,他认为重工业必须迁离此地。reason为可数名词,此处泛指健康和安全两方面的原因,用复数形式reasons。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:然而,当地一家工厂的高级经理海伦·怀特并不认同杰克的观点。factory为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,此处表示“一家当地工厂”,为泛指,且local是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:为了维护工厂的立场,她表示他们是负责任的经营者。此处为名词作宾语,defend的名词为defense/defence,固定搭配in defense/defence of,意为“为……辩护、维护”。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:尽管生产成本有所增加,他们仍采取诸多措施在生产产品的同时减少污染。此处为固定搭配take measures to do sth.,意为“采取措施做某事”,所以用动词不定式to reduce。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:尽管生产成本有所增加,他们仍采取诸多措施在生产产品的同时减少污染。此处为状语从句的省略结构,produce与逻辑主语they之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词producing。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:米尔敦环保小组组长米娅·卡特表示,解决污染问题需要各方共同努力。此处为谓语动词,句子陈述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语solving pollution为动名词短语,视作单数,所以谓语动词用needs。
【45题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:通过这种方式,环境与发展之间的平衡能够被实现。此处为谓语动词,主语a balance与achieve之间为被动关系,且位于情态动词can之后,所以为情态动词的被动语态,结构为“can be+过去分词”,所以此处为be achieved。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Joey was an 83-year-old retired theater cleaner with early Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症). He lived alone in a quiet neighborhood and stuck to a strict daily routine: walking to the old North Park Theater every morning, no matter how bad the weather was. His son visited him every two days and kept warning him not to go out by himself when heavy snow was forecast.
One freezing winter morning, a heavy snowstorm swept across the town overnight. Strong winds blew fiercely and thick snow covered the ground, blocking roads and burying small paths. The theater manager had called Joey the night before, telling him to stay indoors. Yet the old man’s memory let him down. Deeply influenced by his long-time habit, he quietly slipped out before dawn. He only wore a thin coat and light shoes, with no hat or gloves to fight the cold.
He moved with difficulty in the snow and soon lost his way. After wandering about for almost two hours, his legs turned weak and icy. He could hardly move forward, so he stood still beside a big snow pile outside neighbor Mrs. Aughtry’s house, shaking violently. Snow lay all over his hair and shoulders, and his fingers were frozen hard. He spoke in soft, unclear voices and stared blankly into the wind, too tired to call for help. Few people would walk on this quiet street in such terrible conditions.
At about half past six, Mrs. Aughtry stayed warm upstairs and happened to glance through the balcony (阳台) window. She noticed a thin figure standing without any movement in deep snow. Great anxiety washed over her, so she called her husband immediately. The couple decided to step out into the freezing storm and find out what was wrong.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph1:
Braving the sharp wind and heavy snow, the couple walked up to the old man gently.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Paragraph1:
Braving the sharp wind and heavy snow, the couple walked up to the old man gently. They soon recognized that it was Joey, their warm neighbor who always greeted them on morning walks. His thin coat was covered with snow, and his face turned pale with cold. They wrapped their own thick scarves around his neck, held his frozen hands tightly, and slowly led him back to their warm house. They knew the old man might get badly hurt if they left him there for even a few more minutes.
Paragraph2:
After warming Joey up with hot drinks and thick blankets, Mrs. Aughtry finally got in touch with his son. The son said he had been searching all nearby streets anxiously for nearly an hour, and he was so thankful that he could hardly find proper words. He rushed to their house in less than ten minutes, hugged his dad tightly, and kept saying sorry for not checking on him earlier. He also promised that he would arrange someone to keep Joey company later, so such a dangerous thing would never happen again.

Four Dream Holidays
★See a Penguin
This is a once-in-a-lifetime holiday in the snow and ice of the Antarctica. You can see animals and birds you only see on TV or in zoos. The trip starts in South Africa and finishes in Western Australia. You travel on a Russian ship, Kapitan Khlebnikov, and the holiday lasts for just under a month.
★Go on Safari
This holiday is a trip to see wild animals with a difference. You travel by helicopter (直升飞机) over parts of Kenya, listening to music as you fly, and then you sleep under the African stars in a comfortable bed. There’s another trip in a hot-air balloon, which gives you a second chance to see wild animals. The best moment is the Elephant Watch in Samburu, where your experienced guide can tell you all about these amazing animals.
★Live like Robinson Crusoe
If you dream of life on a quiet island, then this is the holiday for you. The island of Quilalea is off the coast of Mozambique and you can only see turtles (海龟) and a few tourists there. You may live like Robinson Crusoe: watch the turtles, go fishing, or travel in a boat to another island to have a picnic.
★Fly High
This is probably the most expensive holiday in the world. You can go on a flight into space and travel around the Earth in a spaceship — if you have the money! The only problem with this holiday is the six-day training course before you take the trip. You travel above the Earth for between 30 and 90 minutes and you get a beautiful view of our green and blue planet.
1. What can you see in Go on Safari holiday?
A. Outer space. B. Wild animals. C. Sea turtles. D. Russian ships.
2. If you prefer a holiday on a quiet island, which would be the best choice?
A. See a Penguin. B. Go on Safari.
C. Live like Robinson Crusoe. D. Fly High.
3. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To explain dreams. B. To share geography knowledge.
C. To introduce different animals. D. To attract tourists.

Sri Nihal Tammana, age 13, of Edison, New Jersey, was named a winner of the 2022 Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes. The Barron Prize annually honors 25 outstanding young leaders who have made a significant positive impact on people, their communities, and the environment.
Nihal founded Recycle My Battery to promote and facilitate the recycling of used batteries. His nonprofit places free battery recycling bins(箱子)and educates young people and adults about battery recycling. In just three years he has built a team of more than 250 student volunteers across the globe who have recycled nearly 200,000 batteries and educated millions of people. Nihal learned at age 10 that 15 billion batteries are thrown away each year and that most end up in landfills(垃圾填埋地)where they pollute groundwater, harm the ecosystem, and can cause catastrophic fires. Inspired to tackle the problem, he began collecting used batteries from his community. He put them in free recycling bins at stores like Staples until he was told he was bringing too many and had to stop.
Undeterred, he reached out for help from Call2Recycle, the largest battery recycling nonprofit in North America. Call2Recycle agreed to assist and provided recycling bins for free, which were placed in schools, libraries, and other public places. Nihal’s organization now operates across the U.S. and is expanding to other countries including Canada, Switzerland, and India. “Earth gives us so much — oxygen, food, water — everything! So it’s important that we give something back when we can,” says Nihal.
The Barron Prize was founded in 2001 by author T. A. Barron. “Nothing is more inspiring than stories about heroic people who have truly made a difference to the world,” says T. A. Barron. “And we need our heroes today more than ever. Not celebrities, but heroes — people whose character can inspire us all. That is the purpose of the Barron Prize: to shine the spotlight on these amazing young people so that their stories will inspire others.”
4. What does Recycle My Battery intend to do?
A. Protect the earth from used batteries. B. Promote used batteries across the globe.
C. Make money by collecting used batteries. D. Stop people throwing used batteries away.
5. What does the underlined word “Undeterred” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Undiscouraged. B. Unprepared. C. Unsurprised. D. Uninterested.
6. How did Call2Recycle help Nihal’s organization?
A. By making it go global. B. By offering free recycling bins.
C. By providing financial support. D. By buying more used batteries.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. The importance of recycling batteries.
B. The impact of batteries on the environment.
C. The achievements of the Barron Prize winners.
D. The inspiring story of a young environmentalist.
C
An upcoming wearable device (设备) for the blind could help them move around public and outdoor spaces on their own, acting as “glasses” that guide them. The glasses are actually a headset, similar to the ones you might wear for VR (Virtual Reality) experiences. Unlike those headsets, this one doesn’t show any pictures. Instead, it delivers soft shakes on your forehead, along with sound from built-in speakers, to guide you through public areas.
The device is noticeable in design. It has a sizeable sensor fixed on the forehead, a camera set in the front, and a large battery group at the back. It supports up to two hours of use on a single charge, and the whole package weighs 1 kg. The AI-powered system works out sensor readings (传感器读数) over 100 times a second. It helps the device understand where you’re walking and what’s in front of you, so you can avoid things that block the way.
You can use your voice to ask for guidance to specific places. You can set locations like “home” or “work” in advance, and the device will understand simple instructions like “take me to my office”, then lead you all the way to the right building.
The device may take the place of a guide dog, which is perhaps the best possible choice for blind people to find their way around. But that means a long wait and requires the blind to take on the big responsibility of caring for the dog over several years.
So far, the company has invited more than 400 blind users in over 40 countries to test the glasses in real environments. If the device can deliver on its promise, it will provide a new level of personal freedom to people around the world living with blindness.
8. What does the device depend on to guide the blind through public areas?
A. A VR headphone. B. Shakes and sound.
C. A separate speaker. D. Pictures and videos.
9. What can we learn about the device from paragraph 2?
A. Its design is quite ordinary.
B. It can sense walking speed.
C. It can check road conditions.
D. Its battery can last very long.
10. Why does the author mention a guide dog?
A. To promote the use of a guide dog.
B. To stress the weakness of the device.
C. To show a possible future of the device.
D. To tell the difficulty in raising a guide dog.
11. What does the underlined word “promise” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Test service. B. Real situations.
C. Technology support. D. Expected functions.
D
Wildlife tourism can be a powerful supporter in protecting nature, but it can also harm it. The question of whether wildlife travel is, on balance, good for wildlife is a difficult one, and there’s no simple answer. The World Travel & Tourism Council reported in 2019 that wildlife tourism contributes $120.1 billion to the global GDP, yet tourism makes up about 8% of global greenhouse gases, a major driver of climate change and biodiversity (生物多样性) loss.
Visiting popular wildlife destinations such as the Great Barrier Reef or Galapagos Islands often includes air travel, which disturbs (打扰) animals and can lead to habitat loss. Studies have shown that tourists can disturb nesting seabirds and feeding sea lions, and that dolphins and whales may change their behavior to avoid areas frequented by boats. Over-development of resources, introduction of non-native species, and pollution are other issues caused by tourism.
Despite these disadvantages, many believe that properly organized tourism can play an important role in conservation (保护). The World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF) stated that international tourism can aid in fighting against poverty, cultural understanding, and biodiversity conservation. Data show that over 47,000 species are threatened with extinction, stressing the need for biodiversity conservation efforts.
Tourism can be an important contributor to protected-area management costs, especially in areas lacking funding sources. For example, in Galapagos Islands, marine-based tourism brings nearly $178million every year. However, depending on tourism for conservation funding raises concerns. While accommodation providers and tour operators are increasingly applying environmentally friendly practices, it’s important to reflect on the impacts of our travel choices. We must consider the frequency of flights taken and the conservation, and community benefits of each trip. The first step to travel responsibly is being aware of these impacts and trying to maximize benefits while minimizing harm to wildlife and habitats.
In conclusion, wildlife tourism can promote economic development and provide funding for nature protection but it requires careful planning to ensure the results. It’s an issue that demands thoughtful consideration of our travel habits and their broader influence on the environment.
12. What is one concern regarding wildlife tourism according to the text?
A. Economic loss. B. Cultural difference.
C. Habitat disturbance. D. Crowded destinations.
13. What does the WWF statement show about travelling abroad?
A. It’s a threat to biodiversity. B. It’s a source of climate change.
C. It’s a possible conservation tool. D. It’s the main conservation funder.
14. What does the author think of the dependence on tourism?
A. It’s a risky method. B. It’s an excellent idea.
C. It’s overrated. D. It’s certainly fail-safe.
15. What might the author agree with?
A. Managed tourism helps conservation. B. Wildlife won’t be harmed by tourism.
C. Biodiversity conservation lacks funding. D. Environmentally friendly tourism is impossible.

Joey was an 83-year-old retired theater cleaner with early Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症). He lived alone in a quiet neighborhood and stuck to a strict daily routine: walking to the old North Park Theater every morning, no matter how bad the weather was. His son visited him every two days and kept warning him not to go out by himself when heavy snow was forecast.
One freezing winter morning, a heavy snowstorm swept across the town overnight. Strong winds blew fiercely and thick snow covered the ground, blocking roads and burying small paths. The theater manager had called Joey the night before, telling him to stay indoors. Yet the old man’s memory let him down. Deeply influenced by his long-time habit, he quietly slipped out before dawn. He only wore a thin coat and light shoes, with no hat or gloves to fight the cold.
He moved with difficulty in the snow and soon lost his way. After wandering about for almost two hours, his legs turned weak and icy. He could hardly move forward, so he stood still beside a big snow pile outside neighbor Mrs. Aughtry’s house, shaking violently. Snow lay all over his hair and shoulders, and his fingers were frozen hard. He spoke in soft, unclear voices and stared blankly into the wind, too tired to call for help. Few people would walk on this quiet street in such terrible conditions.
At about half past six, Mrs. Aughtry stayed warm upstairs and happened to glance through the balcony (阳台) window. She noticed a thin figure standing without any movement in deep snow. Great anxiety washed over her, so she called her husband immediately. The couple decided to step out into the freezing storm and find out what was wrong.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph1:
Braving the sharp wind and heavy snow, the couple walked up to the old man gently.

Paragraph2:
After warming Joey up with hot drinks and thick blankets, Mrs. Aughtry finally got in touch with his son.
