The beauties of our campus deserve to be better explored and can best be explored on foot. Walking is also a greener and healthier alternative to using vehicles.To encourage more students and staff members to walk around the campus,our school has launched a new"Walk for Green" initiative. Programme Setting out from the MTR Station,"Walk for Green recommends various walking routes on campus,one of which covers the YIA Building,LSK Building and LWS Building.Card readers for different walking routes have been installed (to record the number of points completed by "Walk for Green"participants.Participants who collect 60 points within 30 days will be awarded the title"Green Walker". Participation To participate,students and staff members would choose a marked route and tap their school cards at the card readers installed at both the start and end points(and also at an intermediate card reader).Name,student/staff ID,department/unit,date,time,and card readers tapped will be recorded. Walking Journey Points ALK FOR GREE到 Campus Map LWS Bulding MTR YIA +3 points LSK→lws+I point Important Notes: 1.Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards)within one hour to score points. 2.A maximum of six points will be awarded each day. Every time you take a walk on campus,you are helping to preserve our environment and also keeping yourself healthy.Let's start from today! 21.Where does"Walk for Green"start? A.YIA Building B.LSK Building. C.LWS Building. D.MTR Station. 英语科试卷 第1页 22.What are participants required to do? A.Collect at least 6 points. B.Complete a round trip C.Maintain a fixed speed. D.Choose a pre-set route. 23.How many points do you get by walking from YIA Building to LWS Building? A.1 B.2 C.3 D.6 B The great elephant stands in the hot African sun.Slowly the beast lifts its head and its thick trunk delicately curls around the leaves of anearby tree,pulling out the leaves and politely slipping them into its mouth. The beast's great grey skin is partly broken and aged from the African sun. Some mud drops on one side from its last trip to a nearby river.Its rough hair sticks out from all over its skin and two large,white tusks curve elegantly from either side of its mouth. Somewhere a lion roars and something else gives a loud high shout.A vulture (drifts over far above this world,barely a black dot in the sky.The buzzing of the countless bush insects seems to collectively shift up in high tune,almost like the whole of the savanna(热带草原)was singing some song that only they knew. I peer through the lens (at this scene.The zoom lens shows almost every detail of the elephant:the three small cuts in its left ear from playing as a baby around thorn trees,the scar down its front leg where a lion caught it unaware as a young adult,and weathering on its great, valuable tusks from decades of living in this unforgiving grassland on a dusty continent. And then the elephant looks at me.It looks at me with those big,eyelashed eyes with a warmth coming outwards from a vast,hidden depth there.I can suddenly feel its soul,and feel the line of elephants that came before this one,trailing back to the very beginnings of this great savanna.We will never understand what wonders this ancient being and its kind have seen and whispered to each other across the ages on this old,sacred grassland. It looks at me,and it looks through me and sees me.The elephant knows I am there.It always did.It is not running away,nor is it fighting.It accepts and forgives.It loves.But,mostly,it just feels sad.It feels sorry for me.I cannot do this anymore. I take my eye off the sights and hand the gun back to my partner."Let's go home,"I said in a quiet voice,.“let's just go home.” 24.According to the first two paragraphs,which word can best describe the elephant? A.Mysterious B.Depressed C.Aggressive D.Graceful 25.When the author sees through the lens,he is A.deeply moved and filled with sympathy B.overwhelmed by the elephant's strength C.annoyed at the presence of other animals D.shocked and scared by the elephant's scars 26.What does the shift in focus from the elephant to the vulture and insects imply? A.The elephant is about to be attacked. B.The author is losing interest in the elephant. C.The elephant is part of a larger and living world. D.The author wants to show the savanna's dangers. 英语科试卷第2页 27.What can we learn from the passage? A.Nature calms our anger. B.Nature purifies our souls. C.Nature heals our wounds. D.Nature enriches our imagination. C A new paper published in Environmental Research Letters has some warning news for people living in the lower 48 states:You may be at risk from river flooding and not even know it until the water starts to rise In fact,the study,estimates of present and future flood risk in the United States,found that 41 million U.S.residents are at risk from flooding along rivers.That's three times more than current estimates based on the flood maps produced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),which primarily maps the areas at risk for 1-in-100-year floods in populous( 口众多的)river basins. Why does the big difference come into being?As always,it's all about the data.Generally, FEMA prioritizes risk-assessment areas based on their population;reserving expensive field-work methodologies(研究方法)for the more populous river basins,.but many other rivers have not yet been mapped at all. The size of the USA means that flood maps made in this way are incomplete.It would be too expensive and time-consuming to survey every river basin in America.The national-scale flood maps produced by FEMA leave the flood risk of many parts of the country unconsidered. For this research,scientists from The Nature Conservancy adopted a pioneering methodology that avoids the defects of the FEMA approach,where individual catchments()are studied by making use of big data.The study used a new high-resolution model,produced by the flood- mapping organization Fathom,which copies floods on all rivers across the entire continental United States. "We were all surprised by how many people are actually exposed to freshwater flooding in the USA,"said Oliver Wing,lead researcher on the study and a PhD student at the University of Bristol."It's particularly worrisome considering that most of these people aren't even aware of the risk they face.This study helps fill that critical information gap." 28.What did the new paper intend to tell readers? A.The mistakes made by FEMA. B.The serious situation of the flood. C.The populous river basins of the USA. D.The unseen risk of the flood in the USA 29.Why is the map produced by FEMA incomplete? A.It's dangerous to research all the rivers. B.The size of the USA is too big. C.It ignores less populous rivers. D.The efficiency of making it is low. 30.What does the underlined word "defects"in paragraph 5 mean? A.Shortcomings B.Potential C.Consumption D.Contributions 31.What attitude does Oliver Wing have to the study? A.Critical B.Supportive C.Cautious D.Uncaring 英语科试卷 第3页 D It is widely acknowledged that crows are highly intelligent with cognitive abilities similar to those of 5-to-7-year-old children.Past research shows that they can count to four and distinguish human voices and faces,and some species can even create tools for future use.Lately,a special study has expanded this list further,revealing that crows can recognize basic geometric features, such as side lengths,parallel lines,and right angles,and tell apart shapes like stars,crescents, squares,and irregular four-sided figures. With the purpose of testing the crows'geometric skills,scientists showed two crows six shapes on a digital screen and trained them to peck (at the outlier-the shape that looked different from the rest.When the birds chose correctly,they were rewarded with a tasty snack.At first,the researchers made the outlier obvious,such as one flower among five crescents.As the birds got used to the task,the shapes became more similar including squares and irregular four- sided figures.Despite the increasing difficulty,the crows continued to identify the outlier correctly. The shape recognition ability of crows remains a topic of interest for researchers.They suspect this ability may help them with navigation as they fly around.The birds may have also developed this ability to help them search for food or identify other individual crows-including potential mates-based on their facial features."All these abilities,at the end of the day,from a biological point of view,have evolved because they provide a survival advantage or a reproductive advantage."says study senior author Andreas Nieder,a neurophysiologist at the University of Tubingen in Germany. In the future,researchers hope to explore which areas of the birds'brains are responsible for their exceptional ability in geometry.Birds don't have a cerebral cortex(大脑层)一at least,not in the same way that humans do.But for us,that part of the brain is responsible for thinking and other complex functions.Crows still have these abilities,so the researchers assume there must be something else going on inside their heads."Obviously,evolution found two different ways of giving rise to behaviorally flexible animals,"Nieder says. 32.What does the recent study reveal about crows? A.They can draw simple figures with tools. B.They can distinguish basic geometric shapes. C.They can do easy math calculations. D.They can recognize human voices and faces. 33.How did the researchers increase the difficulty of the shape-recognition task? A.By showing the figures with different colors. B.By enhancing the similarity among the shapes. C.By shortening the time for the crows to respond. D.By presenting more familiar shapes on the screen. 34.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.Crows'food-searching advantage. B.Survival benefits of crows'cognition. C.Geometric potential's role in crow navigation. D.Reasons why crows evolved shape recognition 英语科试卷第4页 35.What is the follow-up step for future study? A.Studying crows'brain areas for geometry. B.Comparing human and crow cerebral cortex. C.Exploring crows'other complex brain functions. D.Investigating causes of crows'flexible behaviors. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 Finding classroom strategies to support young people's reading motivation can be challenging. 36 To avoid the guesswork,you are offered some effective methods for your pupils. Set up book clubs.Discussing books in small groups can be a great way to encourage young people to engage with reading activities.37 Instead,it becomes something that can be shared with others.Talking about books can also encourage young people to understand texts better.Shared activities like this build excitement about books. 38 A common idea is that having access to technology works against reading for pleasure,but it can be beneficial.For example,e-books and online reading can be more convenient for young people.Online reading forums can also support young people to find book recommendations.Short videos for class-assigned books even benefits students greatly. Organize spoken word activities.Reading is not just about following a series of words on a page;it's about engaging with a story.Reading aloud can encourage young people to feel more confident about their reading skills.Performance can also play an important role in helping young people feel more connected to a text by bringing books to life.39 Focus on literacy skills(读写技能). 40 However,improving literacy skills can make reading a more enjoyable experience.For example,develop reading comprehension and strategies for engagement with students'desired texts.Classroom activities should get students interested in texts and talking about them with peers.These experiences will also help them become curious readers. A.Make full use of technology. B.Exchange reading materials online. C.Reading is no more a lonely pursuit for students. D.Parents had better look for the most effective ways. E.Young people at all literacy levels can read for pleasure. F.You might be using a bit of trial-and-error to find out what works best. G.It could be especially important for those having negative attitudes towards books. 英语科试卷第5页 第二部分（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) One afternoon,as I was diving into life's deeper questions with my students,a thoughtful boy named Jack raised his hand."Why do so many people feel lost?he asked.41 their curiosity,I decided to show them the ropes through experience rather than simply 42 Follow me,"I said,leading them toward the nearby 43.
