第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Jem Arrowsmith, 48, is a yarn dyer and knitting (编织) designer.
I was designing scarves and hats, but if I wanted to make it a business, I needed to offer more than just the pattern. So, I started dyeing (染色) the yarn to go with my designs.
What I adore about hand-dyed yarn is its individuality. Even if I dye the same colourway twice, no two pieces will ever be the same. That variation is the magic! I know well with colourways, but I’ll always experiment, perhaps by layering shades or find inspiration from a photo. Some of my favourite shades have come from happy accidents!
The best part is when a customer shows me what they’ve knitted with my yarn. It’s always incredible to see what the yarn, drying in my kitchen four hours, has become.
*undertheolivetreeknits.com
Bec Briar, 46, is a hand spinner.
I was knitting so much that I questioned whether it would be cheaper to buy some sheep rather than all the wool I was buying, but it’s absolutely not! Spinning (纺线) wool from my own sheep has become about the special connection between the animals and the end product. It’s incredible to be part of the whole process, from selecting the sheep, watching lambs being born, naming them, getting wool cut, cleaned and then finally running the fibre through my fingers at the wheel.
Slow crafting demands patience. I’ve spent three months spinning for a single piece. I’ll never earn properly for those hours, but that’s not really the point. The value is in the story, the sheep and their care. My customers get to know my sheep and can select wool from their favourite one!
*thewovenbriar.co.uk
1. What makes Jem’s hand-dyed yarn special?
A. It’s cheap. B. It dries quickly.
C. It has unique colors. D. It’s from her own sheep.
2. What is the main value of Bec’s hand-spun wool?
A. The love for dyeing. B. The story connected with sheep.
C. The short time to produce it. D. The low cost of raising sheep.
3. What do the two women’s crafts have in common?
A. They teach customers how to spin.
B. They offer custom-made products.
C. They make big profits from their crafts.
D. They are slow creative handmade work.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍两位手工匠人及其手工创作,讲述她们的手工技艺与创作理念。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Jem Arrowsmith部分的第二段中“What I adore about hand-dyed yarn is its individuality. Even if I dye the same colourway twice, no two pieces will ever be the same. That variation is the magic! (我喜爱手工染色毛线的地方在于它的独特性。就算我两次染同一个色系,也不会有两段毛线完全一样。这种变化就是它的魅力!)”可知,Jem手工染制的毛线特点是拥有独一无二的色彩。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Bec Briar部分的第二段中“The value is in the story, the sheep and their care. My customers get to know my sheep and can select wool from their favourite one! (价值蕴藏在故事、绵羊以及对它们的照料之中。我的顾客能够认识我的绵羊,还可以挑选自己喜爱的绵羊产出的羊毛!)”可知,Bec手工纺线羊毛的主要价值在于和绵羊相关的故事。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据Jem Arrowsmith部分的第二段中“What I adore about hand-dyed yarn is its individuality. Even if I dye the same colourway twice, no two pieces will ever be the same. (我喜爱手工染色毛线的地方在于它的独特性。就算我两次染同一个色系,也不会有两段毛线完全一样。)”以及Bec Briar部分的第二段中“Slow crafting demands patience. I’ve spent three months spinning for a single piece. (慢工艺需要耐心。我曾经为一件作品纺线花费三个月时间)”可知,Jem手工染线、Bec手工纺线都属于手工创作,制作过程耗时漫长,由此推断两位女士手艺的共同点是属于缓慢、有创造性的手工劳作。
B
When Minnesota high school coach Mike realized how beneficial it would be for his football players to spend time with senior citizens, he knew he had to put that idea in motion. Now, 16 years later, that life-changing concept has become a sweet connection both generations look forward to every year.
“Men for Others is our motto, so maybe getting the players involved in spending time with seniors would be a great way to give back,” Mike pondered. Having coached there for 30 years, he believed his job went beyond just teaching football. It also meant shaping today’s youth to be successful leaders for tomorrow. After Mike contacted local senior living facilities, he got an enthusiastic thumbs-up from The Waters.
To prepare the players, Mike invited some of the older teachers at the school, who were in their 60s and 70s, to take part in practice sessions. This helped the high school kids grow more comfortable chatting one-on-one with a senior citizen, learning proper topics and icebreakers so the students would feel more relaxed talking with seniors.
Before long, it became obvious that the kids were enjoying it as much as the older teachers. “We’ll host some fun games and contests, have snacks and you will get a chance to talk and visit with them,” Mike told his players, who were all enthusiastic about their visit.
Just as Mike hoped, the arrangement with the senior facility was a huge success. Not only did his football players and cheerleaders enjoy all the fun and interactions, but the staff praised how it brought so much joy to the residents, many of whom didn’t have visitors often.
“As long as I’m able to coach, I’m keeping it going and hope when I retire someday that it becomes a tradition that is still carried out for years to come,” Mike says.
4. What can we learn about Mike from the first two paragraphs?
A. He once worked in The Waters. B. He highlights character building.
C. He taught seniors to play football. D. He plans to change the team’s motto.
5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The preparation process. B. Methods to find fun topics.
C. Philosophy of teaching sports. D. Advice on chatting with players.
6. What can we infer about the senior residents of The Waters?
A. Most of them were football fans. B. They taught the players football skills.
C. Some of them seldom received visitors. D. They often organized activities for teens.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Giving back to the community. B. Fun Games in Senior Living Centers.
C. Shaping youth to be future leaders. D. Football Linking Teens and Seniors.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】讲述橄榄球教练组织球员探访老人,搭建青少年与老年人之间温暖联结的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中““Men for Others is our motto, so maybe getting the players involved in spending time with seniors would be a great way to give back,” Mike pondered. Having coached there for 30 years, he believed his job went beyond just teaching football. It also meant shaping today’s youth to be successful leaders for tomorrow. (“为他人服务”是我们的座右铭,所以让球员陪伴老人或许是回馈社会的好方式,迈克思索着。他在当地执教已有30年,认为自己的工作不只是教授橄榄球,更要培养年轻人,使他们成为未来优秀的领导者。)”可知,迈克认为教练的职责不只是教球,更重在塑造年轻人的品格。由此可知,迈克重视品格培养。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“To prepare the players, Mike invited some of the older teachers at the school, who were in their 60s and 70s, to take part in practice sessions. This helped the high school kids grow more comfortable chatting one-on-one with a senior citizen, learning proper topics and icebreakers so the students would feel more relaxed talking with seniors. (为了让球员做好准备,迈克邀请校内六七十岁的年长教师参与训练环节。这帮助高中生更加从容地和老年人一对一交谈,学习合适的聊天话题与开场白,让学生和老人交流时更加放松。)”可知,本段主要介绍活动开展前的准备过程。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Not only did his football players and cheerleaders enjoy all the fun and interactions, but the staff praised how it brought so much joy to the residents, many of whom didn’t have visitors often. (球员和啦啦队员都享受这次愉快的互动,工作人员称赞这项活动给居住在这里的老人带来许多欢乐,其中很多老人平时很少有人探望。)”可知,The Waters的部分老年住户很少有人前来探望。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“When Minnesota high school coach Mike realized how beneficial it would be for his football players to spend time with senior citizens, he knew he had to put that idea in motion. Now, 16 years later, that life-changing concept has become a sweet connection both generations look forward to every year. (明尼苏达州高中教练迈克意识到,橄榄球队队员与老年人相处会大有裨益,于是决定落实这个想法。十六年后,这个改变生活的想法成为两代人每年都期盼的美好联结)”可知,文章主要讲述橄榄球教练组织队员看望老人,橄榄球搭建起青少年和老年人之间的桥梁,由此推断D项“橄榄球连接青少年与老年人”和文章主旨相吻合,适合作为最佳标题。
C
In Three-River-Source National Park of Qinghai, artificial nests installed on power towers help protect plateau birds while reducing risks to power grid (电网) operations.
The “Nest of Life” project launched by the State Grid Qinghai Electric Power Company provides safer nesting sites for birds that frequently use power towers as high resting places on the treeless grasslands of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Known as China’s “water tower”, the Three-River-Source region is home to more than 80 rare and protected bird species. As power grids expanded from 2011 to 2016, transmission towers became ideal nesting spots for large raptors (猛禽). Power towers are often the highest points where birds can better observe prey (猎物) on the ground. However, nests built too close to power lines pose risks to both birds and the grid. Birds’ wings or nesting materials can come into contact with conductors, causing short circuits, power cuts or electrocution (触电). To address the problem, the company guided them to safer nesting locations on the towers.
In 2016 the artificial nest model installed on 20 towers was tested. Later workers developed various nests for different conditions: larger wind-sand-resistant vine nests for big birds and smaller cold-proof bamboo-basket nests for Yushu area. Nests are raised 40-60 cm away from conductors; some bare wires were replaced with non-conductive ones to further protect both birds and power lines.
Every April and May, workers examine nest stability, check bamboo linings for damage and carry out repairs. The locals also help record bird activity. So far, 6,053 artificial nests have been installed across Qinghai. The project offers a practical model for balancing infrastructure development with biodiversity reservation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
8. What is the main purpose of the “Nest of Life” project?
A. To offer safe nesting places. B. To protect tall trees.
C. To increase the bird species. D. To replace power towers.
9. Why do large raptors prefer to nest on power towers?
A. To escape from risks. B. To seek ideal partners.
C. To detect prey easily. D. To search nesting materials.
10. What can we learn about the artificial nests?
A. They have different sizes. B. They are tested every other year.
C. They can record bird activity. D. They are all made of bare wires.
11. Which of the following best describes the project?
A. Costly and risky. B. Complex and worthless.
C. Temporary and doubtful. D. Workable and beneficial.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍青海三江源国家公园内的“生命鸟巢”项目,既为高原鸟类提供安全巢穴,又降低电网运行风险,该项目为青藏高原基础设施建设与生物多样性保护的平衡提供了可行方案。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第二段“The “Nest of Life” project launched by the State Grid Qinghai Electric Power Company provides safer nesting sites for birds that frequently use power towers as high resting places on the treeless grasslands of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.(国家电网青海电力公司发起的“生命鸟巢”项目,为在青藏高原无树草原上常把输电塔当作高处休憩地的鸟类提供更安全的筑巢场所。)”可知,“生命鸟巢”项目的主要目的是提供安全的筑巢地点。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Power towers are often the highest points where birds can better observe prey (猎物) on the ground.(输电塔通常是制高点,鸟类在这里可以更好地观察地面上的猎物。)”可知,大型猛禽偏爱在输电塔筑巢是为了方便发现猎物。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第四段“Later workers developed various nests for different conditions: larger wind-sand-resistant vine nests for big birds and smaller cold-proof bamboo-basket nests for Yushu area.(后来工作人员针对不同环境研发了多种鸟巢:为大型鸟类制作更大的抗风沙藤编鸟巢,为玉树地区制作小型防寒竹筐鸟巢。)”可知,这些人工鸟巢有不同的尺寸。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第五段“The project offers a practical model for balancing infrastructure development with biodiversity reservation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.(该项目为青藏高原平衡基础设施建设与生物多样性保护提供了一个切实可行的模式。)”可知,这个项目可行且有益。

With nature under threat, gardeners are on the front line and there are plenty of ways you can garden more sustainably — from planting wildflowers to avoiding chemical controls. Most gardeners are all too aware of the decline in our wildlife and wildflowers, too, as climate change impacts on native species.
There are winners and losers. The speckled wood butterfly is doing well because it is producing more generations. However, the wall brown, once common in England, is now rarely seen because warm autumns caused the young to hatch (孵化) in late autumn, when they had no hope of surviving. As a result, populations are limited to cooler coastal areas. Intense agriculture is another factor. Every inch of land and large areas of grassland have been used. Poisonous chemicals often support the crop, and this directly affects living things.
As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. Farmers face pesticide resistance and lost farm ecosystems. Thankfully, some young farmers are giving up profit-only farming and choosing wildlife-friendly sustainable farming. This is much needed because the 2019 State of Nature report paints a dark picture. According to the report, 41% of species are less common than they were. Since 1970, UK species have declined in quantity and range, and the fall continues.
With growing proof that the overuse of chemicals is not working, gardeners are taking up the baton and becoming eco warriors in their own backyards. Given that we are at the top of the food chain, it’s in our best interest to do so. After all, if I offered you a glass of water with chemicals floating on top, or told you to breathe spray containing weed killer, I doubt you’d do it.
However eco-friendly you already are, there’s more to be done.
12. What can be learned about the wall brown butterfly?
A. It survives better in warm inland areas.
B. The habitats in coastal areas are limited.
C. Its decline is associated with climate change.
D. It has completely disappeared from England.
13. How does the author support the need for sustainable farming in paragraph 3?
A. By quoting farmers. B. By providing data.
C. By explaining a concept. D. By analyzing causes.
14. What does “taking up the baton” most probably mean?
A. Picking up a stick. B. Competing with others for success.
C. Refusing to accept duty. D. Taking over the environmental task.
15. What might the author continue talking about?
A. Famous gardeners in the UK. B. Reasons for sustainable farming.
C. Bad effects of using chemicals. D. Practical ways to be even greener.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍在自然遭受威胁的背景下,园艺爱好者可以采用更加可持续的园艺方式;文中举例气候变化影响蝴蝶等野生物种,指出农药过度使用带来的问题,呼吁人们在自家庭院践行生态保护。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第二段“However, the wall brown, once common in England, is now rarely seen because warm autumns caused the young to hatch (孵化) in late autumn, when they had no hope of surviving.(然而,墙棕蝶曾经在英格兰很常见,现在却很少见到,因为温暖的秋天会让幼虫在晚秋孵化,而此时它们没有存活的希望。)”可知,墙棕蝶数量减少和气候变化有关。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第三段“According to the report, 41% of species are less common than they were. Since 1970, UK species have declined in quantity and range, and the fall continues.(根据这份报告,41%的物种没有以前那么常见。自1970年以来,英国物种的数量和分布范围都在下降,并且这种下降还在持续。)”可知,作者通过提供数据来论证可持续农业的必要性。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据原文第四段“With growing proof that the overuse of chemicals is not working, gardeners are taking up the baton and becoming eco warriors in their own backyards.(越来越多证据表明化学品的过度使用收效甚微,园艺爱好者接过接力棒,在自家后院成为生态卫士。)”可知,前文提到农药滥用带来生态问题,园艺爱好者主动承担起生态保护的任务,成为后院的生态卫士,短语take up the baton本意为接过接力棒,此处表示接手这项环保任务。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第五段“However eco-friendly you already are, there’s more to be done.(无论你已经有多么环保了,还有更多事情可以去做。)”可知,下文很可能继续介绍更多切实可行的绿色环保做法。

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。
Years ago, I was doing a school visit in Kissimmee, Florida. I was a writer, and one of my books was on the Sunshine State Young Readers Award list. During my visit, I spoke to a group of eighth graders about writing. At the end, a girl handed me a note. It said: “Miss Lady, is your book boring?” I was surprised at first, but then I realized she was asking about something deeper. She felt she had no “voice” in her writing, and she didn’t know how to find it.
Instead of giving a lecture, I read a little bit from my own book. I told the story of a fifth-grade girl who ran for class president. She gave a speech that sounded like a politician, using big words and a serious tone. But she lost the election. The reason? Her speech didn’t sound like her. It sounded like someone else. The students listened quietly. Some of them nodded, as if they understood exactly what I meant.
Then I explained that “voice” means making your writing sound like you. It’s not about using big words or perfect grammar. It’s about being honest and letting your personality come through. The girl who wrote the note listened carefully. After I finished, she didn’t say anything. She just looked at me, then at her notebook. I could not tell whether my words had reached her at all.
The bell rang. Students began to pack up their things and head for the door. I started to gather my own papers, wondering whether I had said enough. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw her walking slowly toward me, her notebook held tightly against her chest. Her eyes were fixed on me, and I could see that she wanted to say something but was not sure how to begin.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
After class, the girl came up to me with her notebook in her hand.

Years later, I received a letter from her.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文:
After class, the girl came up to me with her notebook in her hand. She bit her lip nervously and explained that she struggled to find her voice in writing. She showed me her composition, filled with big borrowed words that didn’t match her real feelings. I told her not to chase fancy expressions but to write what she truly thought and felt. I encouraged her to treat writing like talking to a trusted friend. Her eyes lit up as she absorbed my advice and promised to have a try.
Years later, I received a letter from her. In the letter, she recalled our talk about writing voice. She told me she had stopped copying others’ styles and started to express her true self. Her writing now sounded natural and authentic, winning high praise from her teachers. She also shared that she had fallen in love with writing and dreamed of becoming a writer in the future. A surge of warmth washed over me. It struck me that the greatest magic of writing is to let one’s true personality shine through. Small words of encouragement can truly light up someone’s life and change their way of growing.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Jem Arrowsmith, 48, is a yarn dyer and knitting (编织) designer.
I was designing scarves and hats, but if I wanted to make it a business, I needed to offer more than just the pattern. So, I started dyeing (染色) the yarn to go with my designs.
What I adore about hand-dyed yarn is its individuality. Even if I dye the same colourway twice, no two pieces will ever be the same. That variation is the magic! I know well with colourways, but I’ll always experiment, perhaps by layering shades or find inspiration from a photo. Some of my favourite shades have come from happy accidents!
The best part is when a customer shows me what they’ve knitted with my yarn. It’s always incredible to see what the yarn, drying in my kitchen four hours, has become.
*undertheolivetreeknits.com
Bec Briar, 46, is a hand spinner.
I was knitting so much that I questioned whether it would be cheaper to buy some sheep rather than all the wool I was buying, but it’s absolutely not! Spinning (纺线) wool from my own sheep has become about the special connection between the animals and the end product. It’s incredible to be part of the whole process, from selecting the sheep, watching lambs being born, naming them, getting wool cut, cleaned and then finally running the fibre through my fingers at the wheel.
Slow crafting demands patience. I’ve spent three months spinning for a single piece. I’ll never earn properly for those hours, but that’s not really the point. The value is in the story, the sheep and their care. My customers get to know my sheep and can select wool from their favourite one!
*thewovenbriar.co.uk
1. What makes Jem’s hand-dyed yarn special?
A. It’s cheap. B. It dries quickly.
C. It has unique colors. D. It’s from her own sheep.
2. What is the main value of Bec’s hand-spun wool?
A. The love for dyeing. B. The story connected with sheep.
C. The short time to produce it. D. The low cost of raising sheep.
3. What do the two women’s crafts have in common?
A. They teach customers how to spin.
B. They offer custom-made products.
C. They make big profits from their crafts.
D. They are slow creative handmade work.
B
When Minnesota high school coach Mike realized how beneficial it would be for his football players to spend time with senior citizens, he knew he had to put that idea in motion. Now, 16 years later, that life-changing concept has become a sweet connection both generations look forward to every year.
“Men for Others is our motto, so maybe getting the players involved in spending time with seniors would be a great way to give back,” Mike pondered. Having coached there for 30 years, he believed his job went beyond just teaching football. It also meant shaping today’s youth to be successful leaders for tomorrow. After Mike contacted local senior living facilities, he got an enthusiastic thumbs-up from The Waters.
To prepare the players, Mike invited some of the older teachers at the school, who were in their 60s and 70s, to take part in practice sessions. This helped the high school kids grow more comfortable chatting one-on-one with a senior citizen, learning proper topics and icebreakers so the students would feel more relaxed talking with seniors.
Before long, it became obvious that the kids were enjoying it as much as the older teachers. “We’ll host some fun games and contests, have snacks and you will get a chance to talk and visit with them,” Mike told his players, who were all enthusiastic about their visit.
Just as Mike hoped, the arrangement with the senior facility was a huge success. Not only did his football players and cheerleaders enjoy all the fun and interactions, but the staff praised how it brought so much joy to the residents, many of whom didn’t have visitors often.
“As long as I’m able to coach, I’m keeping it going and hope when I retire someday that it becomes a tradition that is still carried out for years to come,” Mike says.
4. What can we learn about Mike from the first two paragraphs?
A. He once worked in The Waters. B. He highlights character building.
C. He taught seniors to play football. D. He plans to change the team’s motto.
5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The preparation process. B. Methods to find fun topics.
C. Philosophy of teaching sports. D. Advice on chatting with players.
6. What can we infer about the senior residents of The Waters?
A. Most of them were football fans. B. They taught the players football skills.
C. Some of them seldom received visitors. D. They often organized activities for teens.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Giving back to the community. B. Fun Games in Senior Living Centers.
C. Shaping youth to be future leaders. D. Football Linking Teens and Seniors.

In Three-River-Source National Park of Qinghai, artificial nests installed on power towers help protect plateau birds while reducing risks to power grid (电网) operations.
The “Nest of Life” project launched by the State Grid Qinghai Electric Power Company provides safer nesting sites for birds that frequently use power towers as high resting places on the treeless grasslands of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Known as China’s “water tower”, the Three-River-Source region is home to more than 80 rare and protected bird species. As power grids expanded from 2011 to 2016, transmission towers became ideal nesting spots for large raptors (猛禽). Power towers are often the highest points where birds can better observe prey (猎物) on the ground. However, nests built too close to power lines pose risks to both birds and the grid. Birds’ wings or nesting materials can come into contact with conductors, causing short circuits, power cuts or electrocution (触电). To address the problem, the company guided them to safer nesting locations on the towers.
In 2016 the artificial nest model installed on 20 towers was tested. Later workers developed various nests for different conditions: larger wind-sand-resistant vine nests for big birds and smaller cold-proof bamboo-basket nests for Yushu area. Nests are raised 40-60 cm away from conductors; some bare wires were replaced with non-conductive ones to further protect both birds and power lines.
Every April and May, workers examine nest stability, check bamboo linings for damage and carry out repairs. The locals also help record bird activity. So far, 6,053 artificial nests have been installed across Qinghai. The project offers a practical model for balancing infrastructure development with biodiversity reservation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
8. What is the main purpose of the “Nest of Life” project?
A. To offer safe nesting places. B. To protect tall trees.
C. To increase the bird species. D. To replace power towers.
9. Why do large raptors prefer to nest on power towers?
A. To escape from risks. B. To seek ideal partners.
C. To detect prey easily. D. To search nesting materials.
10. What can we learn about the artificial nests?
A. They have different sizes. B. They are tested every other year.
C. They can record bird activity. D. They are all made of bare wires.
11. Which of the following best describes the project?
A. Costly and risky. B. Complex and worthless.
C. Temporary and doubtful. D. Workable and beneficial.
D
With nature under threat, gardeners are on the front line and there are plenty of ways you can garden more sustainably — from planting wildflowers to avoiding chemical controls. Most gardeners are all too aware of the decline in our wildlife and wildflowers, too, as climate change impacts on native species.
There are winners and losers. The speckled wood butterfly is doing well because it is producing more generations. However, the wall brown, once common in England, is now rarely seen because warm autumns caused the young to hatch (孵化) in late autumn, when they had no hope of surviving. As a result, populations are limited to cooler coastal areas. Intense agriculture is another factor. Every inch of land and large areas of grassland have been used. Poisonous chemicals often support the crop, and this directly affects living things.
As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. Farmers face pesticide resistance and lost farm ecosystems. Thankfully, some young farmers are giving up profit-only farming and choosing wildlife-friendly sustainable farming. This is much needed because the 2019 State of Nature report paints a dark picture. According to the report, 41% of species are less common than they were. Since 1970, UK species have declined in quantity and range, and the fall continues.
With growing proof that the overuse of chemicals is not working, gardeners are taking up the baton and becoming eco warriors in their own backyards. Given that we are at the top of the food chain, it’s in our best interest to do so. After all, if I offered you a glass of water with chemicals floating on top, or told you to breathe spray containing weed killer, I doubt you’d do it.
However eco-friendly you already are, there’s more to be done.
12. What can be learned about the wall brown butterfly?
A. It survives better in warm inland areas.
B. The habitats in coastal areas are limited.
C. Its decline is associated with climate change.
D. It has completely disappeared from England.
13. How does the author support the need for sustainable farming in paragraph 3?
A. By quoting farmers. B. By providing data.
C. By explaining a concept. D. By analyzing causes.
14. What does “taking up the baton” most probably mean?
A. Picking up a stick. B. Competing with others for success.
C. Refusing to accept duty. D. Taking over the environmental task.
15. What might the author continue talking about?
A. Famous gardeners in the UK. B. Reasons for sustainable farming.
C. Bad effects of using chemicals. D. Practical ways to be even greener.

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。
Years ago, I was doing a school visit in Kissimmee, Florida. I was a writer, and one of my books was on the Sunshine State Young Readers Award list. During my visit, I spoke to a group of eighth graders about writing. At the end, a girl handed me a note. It said: “Miss Lady, is your book boring?” I was surprised at first, but then I realized she was asking about something deeper. She felt she had no “voice” in her writing, and she didn’t know how to find it.
Instead of giving a lecture, I read a little bit from my own book. I told the story of a fifth-grade girl who ran for class president. She gave a speech that sounded like a politician, using big words and a serious tone. But she lost the election. The reason? Her speech didn’t sound like her. It sounded like someone else. The students listened quietly. Some of them nodded, as if they understood exactly what I meant.
Then I explained that “voice” means making your writing sound like you. It’s not about using big words or perfect grammar. It’s about being honest and letting your personality come through. The girl who wrote the note listened carefully. After I finished, she didn’t say anything. She just looked at me, then at her notebook. I could not tell whether my words had reached her at all.
The bell rang. Students began to pack up their things and head for the door. I started to gather my own papers, wondering whether I had said enough. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw her walking slowly toward me, her notebook held tightly against her chest. Her eyes were fixed on me, and I could see that she wanted to say something but was not sure how to begin.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
After class, the girl came up to me with her notebook in her hand.

Years later, I received a letter from her.
