As you can see, all the art hair has been painted and created to represent and celebrate local natural beauty. We come from such a beautiful place, so IT is very important to realize how at risk IT is. I'm not saying this to scare anyone, but to remind us how much we love our planet and how important IT is to protect what we love. Here you'll see images of hills on fire, powerful typhoons and rising floods within our coastal city. That biggest danger is sea level rise. Many local artists have painted our streets and train stations underwater to show how real these risks are. Before we open the room to guests, I want to share the origin of this show. The initial idea was not fundraising or even climate messaging. We simply wanted to expand art classes in our community centers. That modest goal grew into this exhibition as students, teachers and neighbors offered their talent, stories and support because of every one of you. More workshops will launch next month. To thank you for helping us reach this moment, i'd like to invite several of our lead supporters to say a few words about the student program. Thanks for coming to this art gallery opening.

Just several months later, he made a similar trip to the South Pole. Now he is back in the Arctic again, preparing for a more ambitious expedition. This time, however, more significance is attached. Pen and two colleagues will set out on a three-month, 1,000-kilometre trek to the North Pole, taking detailed measurements of the thickness and density of the ice. Nobody has ever done this before, and he knows the results will be of great significance to the scientific community. This will be the truest picture so far of what global warming is doing to the ice that covers the polar region. Pen and his wife, Mary, live in the country with their two children. “It’s much harder to be away from them this time,” he admits. “They were one and five when I last left home, and I made a mistake in the way I said goodbye. I thought it would be a good idea to say to my son, ‘You’re the man of the house now; look after your mum and your sister.’ He absolutely took it to heart, asking his mum how she was all the time, but the stress eventually became too much. While it was well intentioned, it was an unfair thing to do.” Pen is spending these last days before departure preparing his things. With him will be Ann Daniels, one of the world’s leading polar explorers, and the photographer, Martin Hartley. A crew of six will support them, flying supplies. Being part of a team is actually more stressful for someone like Pen. Besides, something else is on his mind too. “I’m going to be 47 on Thursday. I’ve done far less training. Organisational things always seem more urgent. So I’m almost fearful of what I’m going to ask of myself.” Pen believes his mission reconnects exploration with the search for knowledge that will drive previous generations into the unknown. “Making it to the North Pole was a personal ambition and of limited value to anyone beyond the polar adventuring community. This time, scientists will profit from the data, and we’re creating a platform to expose as many people as possible to what’s happening in the Arctic Ocean.” 24．(2.5分)What can we learn about Pen Hadow’s opinion of the new expedition in paragraph 1? A．He is aware of its huge importance. B．He feels certain that it will be stressful. C．He thinks it similar to his previous journeys. D．He is confident with the help of a regional picture. 25．(2.5分)What does the underlined phrase “took it to heart” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Started to feel unwell. B．Experienced stress from his father’s words. C．Became afraid of the responsibility. D．Carried out his father’s words carefully. 26．(2.5分)Comparing the new expedition to his previous ones, how does Pen feel? A．He is uncertain if information will be collected. B．He is doubtful about its long-term usefulness. C．He is pleased that his team can contribute to scientific research. D．He is relieved that the general public will be more supportive. 27．(2.5分)Which of the following can best describe Pen Hadow? A．Ambitious and patient. B．Adventurous and responsible. C．Humorous and tough. D．Caring and influential. 【答案】24．A 25．D 26．C 27．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了探险家佩恩•哈多在北极的新探险任务，该任务不仅挑战他个人的极限，还对科学研究有着重要意义。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Nobody has ever done this before, and he knows the results will be of great significance to the scientific community. This will be the truest picture so far of what global warming is doing to the ice that covers the polar region. (以前从来没有人这样做过，他知道这个结果对科学界来说意义重大。这将是迄今为止全球变暖对覆盖极地地区的冰造成的最真实的影响。)”可知, 佩恩•哈多知道这次探险所得结果对科学界有重要意义。故选A项。 25．词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“I thought it would be a good idea to say to my son, ‘You’re the man of the house now; look after your mum and your sister.’ (我想最好对儿子说：‘你现在是家里的男子汉了；照顾好你的妈妈和妹妹。’)”以及后文“asking his mum how she was all the time (一直问妈妈过得怎么样)”可知，佩恩•哈多在告别时告诉他的儿子要照顾好妈妈和妹妹，他的儿子把这句话放在心上，一直关心妈妈的感受，由此可知，画线短语与D项(认真地执行父亲的话)意思相近。故选D项。 26．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Pen believes his mission reconnects exploration with the search for knowledge that will drive previous generations into the unknown. “Making it to the North Pole was a personal ambition and of limited value to anyone beyond the polar adventuring community. This time, scientists will profit from the data, and we’re creating a platform to expose as many people as possible to what’s happening in the Arctic Ocean.” (佩恩认为，他的任务是将探索与寻找知识重新联系起来，而知识将推动前几代人进入未知领域。“去北极是个人的抱负，对极地探险圈以外的人来说价值有限。这一次，科学家将从这些数据中获利，我们正在创建一个平台，让尽可能多的人了解北冰洋正在发生的事情。”)”由此可推知，与以前的探险相比，佩恩•哈多为他的团队能够为科学研究作出贡献而感到高兴。故选C项。 27．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In 2003, Pen Hadow became the first person to trek (长途跋涉) to the North Pole alone, without being resupplied on the way. Just several months later, he made a similar trip to the South Pole. Now he is back in the Arctic again, preparing for a more ambitious expedition. (2003年，佩恩•哈多成为第一个在没有补给的情况下独自跋涉到北极的人。就在几个月后，他又进行了一次类似的南极之旅。现在他又回到了北极，准备进行一次更有野心的探险。)”以及最后一段中的“This time, scientists will profit from the data, and we’re creating a platform to expose as many people as possible to what’s happening in the Arctic Ocean. (这一次，科学家将从这些数据中获利，我们正在创建一个平台，让尽可能多的人了解北冰洋正在发生的事情。)”并结合全文可知，佩恩•哈多独自完成了北极和南极之旅，现在又计划进行一项对科学界有重大意义的探险，这次探险也会让更多的人了解北冰洋正在发生的事情，由此可推知，佩恩•哈多是一个具有冒险精神和责任感的人。故选B项。 （本题10分） The Dongting Lake is located in northeastern Hunan, China. And it ranks as the second largest freshwater lake in China, following the Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province. This large and shallow lake is a flood-basin of the Yangtze River. And the provinces of Hubei and Hunan are named after their location relative to the lake: Hubei means “North of the Lake” and Hunan means “South of the Lake” in Chinese. The Dongting Lake spreads wide on an area of 1, 300 square kilometers. According to geologists, the lake area used to be part of an ancient anticline (背斜) in south of the Yangtze River, but fell in a rupture (断裂) during the movement of Mount Yanshan 70 million years ago and became a lake. The area is well-known in Chinese history and literature. Dragon boat racing is said to have begun on the eastern shores of the Dongting Lake as a search for the body of Qu Yuan, the Chu poet, and a dragon-king is said to live at the bottom of the lake. ★The Dongting Lake is also famous for historical scenic spots on the lakefront, which include the Yueyang Pavilion, Junshan Mountain, Tomb of Du Fu, Wen Temple, and Longzhou Academy. At present, tourists can still enjoy five famous sights out of Eight Views of Xiaoxiang, namely the Autumn Moon on Dongting, Returned Sail from Faraway Riverside, Wild Gooses Settle on the Smooth Sand, Sunset Glow over Fishing Village, and Snow Curtain Hanging over the River Sky. Moreover, the Ten Shadows of the Dongting Lake are also attractive sights. The East Dongting Lake Nature Reserve is one of China’s 30 important wetlands listed in the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. Every year, 217 species of migratory birds under state protection live through the winter here, such as white storks, white cranes, gray cranes and egrets (白鹭) , It will be a great fun if tourists take a boat tour of the lake to observe birds, listen to the waves, go fishing and taste delicious fish dishes in the nature reserve. 28．(2.5分)What do we know about the Dongting Lake? A．It contains the largest quantities of freshwater in China. B．It serves as the border of provinces of Hubei and Hunan. C．It provides a rich source of water for the Yangtze River. D．It lies not far from the Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province. 29．(2.5分)Why does the author mention Mount Yanshan in the text? A．To explain the geological formation of the Dongting Lake. B．To tell the lake’s fame in Chinese history and literature. C．To introduce the origin of dragon boat racing on the lake. D．To research on the legends connected with the huge lake. 30．(2.5分)What can we infer from the third paragraph? A．Famous scholars found the lake a comfortable place to live. B．People were creative to name the scenic spots with imagination. C．There were crowds of tourists visiting the lake centuries ago. D．The historical relics make the Dongting Lake more fascinating. 31．(2.5分)What can be the best title of the text? A．Legendary Stories about the Dongting Lake.

The name Chosin is the Japanese pronunciation of the Korean place named Changjin, and the name stuck due to the outdated Japanese maps used by United Nations forces during the Korean War. The Chosin Reservoir was the site of a critical battle in the Korean War. In November 1950, Chinese troops intervened in the Korean War on the side of North Korea and thoroughly destroyed three divisions of American forces between the Chosin Reservoir and Hungnam. It’s the worst defeat American forces had seen since the Battle of Bataan during World War Ⅱ, which led US President Harry Truman to ultimately approve the use of atomic (原子的) bombs in Japan. The battle was fought over some of the roughest terrain (地形). The road was created by cutting through the hilly terrain of Korea, with steep climbs and drops. Main peaks, such as the Funchilin Pass and the Toktong Pass, overlook the entire length of the road. The road’s quality was poor, and in some places it was reduced to a narrow path. The battle was also fought during the hardest winter weather conditions in Korea. On 14 November, a cold front from Siberia moved across the Chosin Reservoir, and the temperature suddenly dropped to as low as -37°C． The cold weather was accompanied by frozen ground, creating considerable danger of being frozen to death, icy roads, and weapon failures. Medical supplies froze; injections had to be warmed in a nurse’s mouth before they could be injected; frozen blood plasma (血浆) was useless on the battlefield. Batteries used for the telegraphs and radios did not function properly in the temperature and quickly ran down. 32．(2.5分)What is Chosin Reservoir famous for? A．Its special location. B．Its various names. C．The Korean War. D．A film with the same name. 33．(2.5分)Which caused the use of atomic bombs in Japan? A．.North Korea defeated .South Korea. B．Chinese troops intervened in the Korean War. C．US President Harry Truman failed to be reelected. D．US suffered the worst defeat in the Battle of Bataan. 34．(2.5分)Which can be the best key word of Paragraph 3? A．Climates. B．Sceneries. C．Causes. D．Geographies. 35．(2.5分)What makes the cruelty of the Battle of Chosin Reservoir? A．The bravery of Chinese troops. B．America’s advanced weapons. C．The freezing cold weather. D．The rough waters of the lake. 【答案】32．C 33．D 34．D 35．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍长津湖的名称由来，讲述其作为朝鲜战争关键战场的战况，以及战役所处的恶劣地形与严寒天气条件。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段“The Chosin Reservoir was the site of a critical battle in the Korean War.(长津湖是朝鲜战争中的一场关键战役的发生地)”可知，长津湖因朝鲜战争中的关键战役而闻名。故选C。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段“In November 1950, Chinese troops intervened in the Korean War on the side of North Korea and thoroughly destroyed three divisions of American forces between the Chosin Reservoir and Hungnam. It’s the worst defeat American forces had seen since the Battle of Bataan during World War Ⅱ, which led US President Harry Truman to ultimately approve the use of atomic (原子的) bombs in Japan.(1950年11月，中国人民志愿军在朝鲜战争中参战，并彻底摧毁了位于长津湖和兴南之间的美军三个师的防线。这是自二战期间巴丹半岛战役以来，美军所遭遇的最惨重的失败，巴丹半岛战役的失利也促使美国总统哈里·杜鲁门最终批准在日本使用原子弹)”可知，美国在巴丹战役中遭受了最惨重的失败导致了在日本使用原子弹。故选D。 34．推理判断题。根据第三段“The battle was fought over some of the roughest terrain (地形). The road was created by cutting through the hilly terrain of Korea, with steep climbs and drops. Main peaks, such as the Funchilin Pass and the Toktong Pass, overlook the entire length of the road. The road’s quality was poor, and in some places it was reduced to a narrow path.(这场战斗是在一些最为崎岖的地形中进行的。这条道路是通过穿越朝鲜半岛北部的丘陵地带而建成的，那里有陡峭的山坡和深谷。像丰奇林山口和托通山口这样的主要山口俯瞰着整条道路的全貌。道路的质量很差，在某些地方甚至缩减成了狭窄的小径)”可知，第三段的最佳关键词是地理。故选D。 35．细节理解题。根据第四段“The cold weather was accompanied by frozen ground, creating considerable danger of being frozen to death, icy roads, and weapon failures. Medical supplies froze; injections had to be warmed in a nurse’s mouth before they could be injected; frozen blood plasma (血浆) was useless on the battlefield. Batteries used for the telegraphs and radios did not function properly in the temperature and quickly ran down.(寒冷的天气伴随着冰冻的地面，这带来了极大的危险，比如可能会被冻死、道路结冰以及武器失灵。医疗用品都结冰了；注射剂必须先在护士的嘴里变热后再进行注射；冻结的血浆在战场上毫无用处。用于电报和无线电的电池在低温环境下无法正常工作，很快就会耗尽电量)”可知，寒冷的天气导致了长津湖战役的残酷性。故选C。 （本题12.5分）Many people enjoy having plants inside their homes, especially when it is cold outside. But sometimes houseplants need a little help. 36(2.5分) They show discolored leaves, and their stems droop (下垂) — or no longer stand strong or tall. And there will be little or no growth. A good way to help renew tired houseplants is by giving them a plant “haircut.” In the gardening world, cutting back plants is called “pruning.” 37(2.5分) Diana Alfuth is a gardening expert at the University of Wisconsin. She says pruning helps with shaping, removing dead matter, and keeping the plants from drooping. Pruning is also a way to start new plants. You can take the cuttings from pruning and grow new plants. 38(2.5分) So is the timing of when you give them fertilizers — nutrients for growth. “Houseplants should not be fertilized during winter when days are short,” Alfuth said. “Fertilize in late winter as days get longer and plants wake up and will need fertilizer to put on growth during spring.” Watering plants too much is a leading cause of losing houseplants. So, be careful not to overwater. “Plants lose oxygen when they get too much water,” Pettinelli said. 39(2.5分) Check to see if your plants’ roots are overgrown in the bottom of the pot. 40(2.5分) But be sure the pots have holes cut in the bottoms so that extra water can get out. A．Pruning serves many needs. B．A houseplant’s diet is important. C．Especially the roots — they’ll drown. D．And they will not flower if they are hot. E．Pruning then results in strong new growth. F．If they are struggling, they will let you know. G．That means you should re-pot the plant in a new, larger pot. 【答案】36．F 37．A 38．B 39．C 40．G 【导语】文章介绍了室内盆栽的养护技巧，包括修剪、把握施肥时机、适度浇水以及根系过密时换盆，以此帮助盆栽健康生长。 【详解】36．后文“They show discolored leaves, and their stems droop (下垂) — or no longer stand strong or tall. And there will be little or no growth. (它们的叶片会变色，茎干下垂，不再挺拔高耸，并且几乎不再生长。)”描述植物叶片变色、茎下垂等异常状态，对应F选项“If they are struggling, they will let you know. (如果植物挣扎生存，它们会让你知道。)”，衔接自然。 37．后文“Diana Alfuth is a gardening expert at the University of Wisconsin. She says pruning helps with shaping, removing dead matter, and keeping the plants from drooping. Pruning is also a way to start new plants. You can take the cuttings from pruning and grow new plants. (戴安娜・阿尔富思是威斯康星大学的一名园艺专家。她表示修剪可以帮助修整株型、去除枯死部分，还能防止植物下垂倒伏。修剪也是培育新植株的一种方式，你可以利用修剪下来的枝条培育新的植物。)”介绍了修剪可塑形、去除枯死部分、防止倒伏、培育新植株等多种作用，对应A选项“Pruning serves many needs. (修剪可满足多种需求。)”，总领下文。 38．空处为本段的主题句，后文“So is the timing of when you give them fertilizers — nutrients for growth. ‘Houseplants should not be fertilized during winter when days are short,’ Alfuth said. ‘Fertilize in late winter as days get longer and plants wake up and will need fertilizer to put on growth during spring.’ (施肥的时机同样重要，肥料就是植物生长所需的养分。阿尔富思说：‘冬季白昼较短，不要给室内盆栽施肥。等到冬末白昼变长，植物苏醒过来，需要为春天的生长供给养分，这时再施肥。’)”围绕施肥的时机展开，施肥属于植物的养分供给，对应B选项“A houseplant’s diet is important. (室内盆栽的养分供给很重要。)”，契合段落主题。 39．前文“Watering plants too much is a leading cause of losing houseplants. So, be careful not to overwater. ‘Plants lose oxygen when they get too much water,’ Pettinelli said. (浇水过多是造成室内盆栽死亡的主要原因，所以切记不要过度浇水。佩蒂内利说：‘浇水过多时，植物会缺氧。’)”提及浇水过多会让植物缺氧，C选项“Especially the roots — they’ll drown. (尤其是根系，它们会被涝死。)”承接上文，进一步说明过度浇水的危害。 40．前文“Check to see if your plants’ roots are overgrown in the bottom of the pot. (查看花盆底部，看植物根系是否已经长得过于茂密。)”提到植物根系在花盆底部过度生长的情况，后文“But be sure the pots have holes cut in the bottoms so that extra water can get out. (但花盆底部务必留有排水孔，让多余的水可以流出去。)”说花盆需有排水孔，G选项“That means you should re-pot the plant in a new, larger pot.(这意味着你要将植物移栽到更大的新花盆中。)”承上启下，给出前文对应的解决办法，与后文的内容衔接自然，选项中的“That means”指代前文“根系过度生长”这件事。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Rock climbing is a sport that includes using ropes and other equipment to climb up a rock face, either outdoors or an artificial one indoors.

Mary swiftly threw herself into her Mum’s arms, burying her face into her chest and trembling with fright. “I think we should leave here right away!” She murmured in a crying tone. Instantly, Dad refused her request again for the fact that the city had already been flooded severely. As he saw through their window, the almost three-meter-high floodwater had already surrounded the apartment building like a wide river, several cars floating on it just like boats. “Black out!” Mary gasped fearfully, the wind roaring and the rain beating on the roof and windows, which made her even more nervous in the whole darkness. Mum took Mary’s hand and carefully led her to sit on the sofa, trying her best to comfort her. While she performed calmly, Mary could tell she was nervous too. “Let’s try to find a light source first and then see what other supplies we have.” Dad made an arrangement. Luckily, there was a flashlight, some packages of instant noodles, bread and some drinking water, which may help them get through the toughness for the half of the night. Without saying a single word, Dad turned on the flashlight, sat down and hugged his wife and daughter. The sudden silence in the house seemed to make the wind and rain more frightening outside. Only the light of the flashlight could now give them some warmth and a sense of little hope. “What about Mrs. Thomson? Old and weak, she must be extremely helpless.” Mum said with great concern when she thought about their nice neighbor who lived alone upstairs of the same building. After a brief discussion, Mum and Dad decided they should go and check whether Mrs. Thomson was fine. Mary, with heavy breath and pounding heart, stood up immediately, ready to bring all their supplies to Mrs. Thomson’s house.注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 In the darkness, they supported each other and went upstairs step by step with the light of the flashlight. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, a bunch of searching light from a rescue boat flashed across Mrs. Thomson’s window. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】    In the darkness, they supported each other and went upstairs step by step with the light of the flashlight. The water had already seeped into the stairwell, making each step slippery and dangerous. Mary clung tightly to her parents’hands, her heart pounding with a mix of fear and determination. When they finally reached Mrs. Thomson’s door, Dad knocked gently but firmly. After what felt like an eternity, the door creaked open, revealing Mrs. Thomson’s frightened face. “Thank goodness you’re here!” she whispered, her voice trembling. They quickly helped her gather her essential belongings and led her back downstairs to their apartment, where they all huddled together, finding comfort in each other's presence.        Suddenly, a bunch of searching light from a rescue boat flashed across Mrs. Thomson’s window. “Look!” Mary exclaimed, pointing excitedly. Dad grabbed the flashlight and waved it back and forth, signaling for help. Within minutes, they heard the sound of voices and the gentle lapping of the boat against the building. The rescue team arrived just in time, helping them all into the boat and to safety.

Just several months later, he made a similar trip to the South Pole. Now he is back in the Arctic again, preparing for a more ambitious expedition. This time, however, more significance is attached. Pen and two colleagues will set out on a three-month, 1,000-kilometre trek to the North Pole, taking detailed measurements of the thickness and density of the ice. Nobody has ever done this before, and he knows the results will be of great significance to the scientific community. This will be the truest picture so far of what global warming is doing to the ice that covers the polar region. Pen and his wife, Mary, live in the country with their two children. “It’s much harder to be away from them this time,” he admits. “They were one and five when I last left home, and I made a mistake in the way I said goodbye. I thought it would be a good idea to say to my son, ‘You’re the man of the house now; look after your mum and your sister.’ He absolutely took it to heart, asking his mum how she was all the time, but the stress eventually became too much. While it was well intentioned, it was an unfair thing to do.” Pen is spending these last days before departure preparing his things. With him will be Ann Daniels, one of the world’s leading polar explorers, and the photographer, Martin Hartley. A crew of six will support them, flying supplies. Being part of a team is actually more stressful for someone like Pen. Besides, something else is on his mind too. “I’m going to be 47 on Thursday. I’ve done far less training. Organisational things always seem more urgent. So I’m almost fearful of what I’m going to ask of myself.” Pen believes his mission reconnects exploration with the search for knowledge that will drive previous generations into the unknown. “Making it to the North Pole was a personal ambition and of limited value to anyone beyond the polar adventuring community. This time, scientists will profit from the data, and we’re creating a platform to expose as many people as possible to what’s happening in the Arctic Ocean.” 24．(2.5分)What can we learn about Pen Hadow’s opinion of the new expedition in paragraph 1? A．He is aware of its huge importance. B．He feels certain that it will be stressful. C．He thinks it similar to his previous journeys. D．He is confident with the help of a regional picture. 25．(2.5分)What does the underlined phrase “took it to heart” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Started to feel unwell. B．Experienced stress from his father’s words. C．Became afraid of the responsibility. D．Carried out his father’s words carefully. 26．(2.5分)Comparing the new expedition to his previous ones, how does Pen feel? A．He is uncertain if information will be collected. B．He is doubtful about its long-term usefulness. C．He is pleased that his team can contribute to scientific research. D．He is relieved that the general public will be more supportive. 27．(2.5分)Which of the following can best describe Pen Hadow? A．Ambitious and patient. B．Adventurous and responsible. C．Humorous and tough. D．Caring and influential. （本题10分） The Dongting Lake is located in northeastern Hunan, China. And it ranks as the second largest freshwater lake in China, following the Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province. This large and shallow lake is a flood-basin of the Yangtze River. And the provinces of Hubei and Hunan are named after their location relative to the lake: Hubei means “North of the Lake” and Hunan means “South of the Lake” in Chinese. The Dongting Lake spreads wide on an area of 1, 300 square kilometers. According to geologists, the lake area used to be part of an ancient anticline (背斜) in south of the Yangtze River, but fell in a rupture (断裂) during the movement of Mount Yanshan 70 million years ago and became a lake. The area is well-known in Chinese history and literature. Dragon boat racing is said to have begun on the eastern shores of the Dongting Lake as a search for the body of Qu Yuan, the Chu poet, and a dragon-king is said to live at the bottom of the lake. ★The Dongting Lake is also famous for historical scenic spots on the lakefront, which include the Yueyang Pavilion, Junshan Mountain, Tomb of Du Fu, Wen Temple, and Longzhou Academy.

Moreover, the Ten Shadows of the Dongting Lake are also attractive sights. The East Dongting Lake Nature Reserve is one of China’s 30 important wetlands listed in the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. Every year, 217 species of migratory birds under state protection live through the winter here, such as white storks, white cranes, gray cranes and egrets (白鹭) , It will be a great fun if tourists take a boat tour of the lake to observe birds, listen to the waves, go fishing and taste delicious fish dishes in the nature reserve. 28．(2.5分)What do we know about the Dongting Lake?

The name Chosin is the Japanese pronunciation of the Korean place named Changjin, and the name stuck due to the outdated Japanese maps used by United Nations forces during the Korean War. The Chosin Reservoir was the site of a critical battle in the Korean War. In November 1950, Chinese troops intervened in the Korean War on the side of North Korea and thoroughly destroyed three divisions of American forces between the Chosin Reservoir and Hungnam. It’s the worst defeat American forces had seen since the Battle of Bataan during World War Ⅱ, which led US President Harry Truman to ultimately approve the use of atomic (原子的) bombs in Japan. The battle was fought over some of the roughest terrain (地形). The road was created by cutting through the hilly terrain of Korea, with steep climbs and drops. Main peaks, such as the Funchilin Pass and the Toktong Pass, overlook the entire length of the road. The road’s quality was poor, and in some places it was reduced to a narrow path. The battle was also fought during the hardest winter weather conditions in Korea. On 14 November, a cold front from Siberia moved across the Chosin Reservoir, and the temperature suddenly dropped to as low as -37°C． The cold weather was accompanied by frozen ground, creating considerable danger of being frozen to death, icy roads, and weapon failures. Medical supplies froze; injections had to be warmed in a nurse’s mouth before they could be injected; frozen blood plasma (血浆) was useless on the battlefield. Batteries used for the telegraphs and radios did not function properly in the temperature and quickly ran down. 32．(2.5分)What is Chosin Reservoir famous for? A．Its special location. B．Its various names. C．The Korean War. D．A film with the same name. 33．(2.5分)Which caused the use of atomic bombs in Japan? A．.North Korea defeated .South Korea. B．Chinese troops intervened in the Korean War. C．US President Harry Truman failed to be reelected. D．US suffered the worst defeat in the Battle of Bataan. 34．(2.5分)Which can be the best key word of Paragraph 3? A．Climates. B．Sceneries. C．Causes. D．Geographies. 35．(2.5分)What makes the cruelty of the Battle of Chosin Reservoir? A．The bravery of Chinese troops. B．America’s advanced weapons. C．The freezing cold weather. D．The rough waters of the lake. （本题12.5分）Many people enjoy having plants inside their homes, especially when it is cold outside. But sometimes houseplants need a little help. 36(2.5分) They show discolored leaves, and their stems droop (下垂) — or no longer stand strong or tall. And there will be little or no growth. A good way to help renew tired houseplants is by giving them a plant “haircut.” In the gardening world, cutting back plants is called “pruning.” 37(2.5分) Diana Alfuth is a gardening expert at the University of Wisconsin. She says pruning helps with shaping, removing dead matter, and keeping the plants from drooping. Pruning is also a way to start new plants. You can take the cuttings from pruning and grow new plants. 38(2.5分) So is the timing of when you give them fertilizers — nutrients for growth. “Houseplants should not be fertilized during winter when days are short,” Alfuth said. “Fertilize in late winter as days get longer and plants wake up and will need fertilizer to put on growth during spring.” Watering plants too much is a leading cause of losing houseplants. So, be careful not to overwater. “Plants lose oxygen when they get too much water,” Pettinelli said. 39(2.5分) Check to see if your plants’ roots are overgrown in the bottom of the pot. 40(2.5分) But be sure the pots have holes cut in the bottoms so that extra water can get out. A．Pruning serves many needs. B．A houseplant’s diet is important. C．Especially the roots — they’ll drown. D．And they will not flower if they are hot. E．Pruning then results in strong new growth. F．If they are struggling, they will let you know. G．That means you should re-pot the plant in a new, larger pot. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Rock climbing is a sport that includes using ropes and other equipment to climb up a rock face, either outdoors or an artificial one indoors.

Mary swiftly threw herself into her Mum’s arms, burying her face into her chest and trembling with fright. “I think we should leave here right away!” She murmured in a crying tone. Instantly, Dad refused her request again for the fact that the city had already been flooded severely. As he saw through their window, the almost three-meter-high floodwater had already surrounded the apartment building like a wide river, several cars floating on it just like boats. “Black out!” Mary gasped fearfully, the wind roaring and the rain beating on the roof and windows, which made her even more nervous in the whole darkness. Mum took Mary’s hand and carefully led her to sit on the sofa, trying her best to comfort her. While she performed calmly, Mary could tell she was nervous too. “Let’s try to find a light source first and then see what other supplies we have.” Dad made an arrangement. Luckily, there was a flashlight, some packages of instant noodles, bread and some drinking water, which may help them get through the toughness for the half of the night. Without saying a single word, Dad turned on the flashlight, sat down and hugged his wife and daughter. The sudden silence in the house seemed to make the wind and rain more frightening outside. Only the light of the flashlight could now give them some warmth and a sense of little hope. “What about Mrs. Thomson? Old and weak, she must be extremely helpless.” Mum said with great concern when she thought about their nice neighbor who lived alone upstairs of the same building. After a brief discussion, Mum and Dad decided they should go and check whether Mrs. Thomson was fine. Mary, with heavy breath and pounding heart, stood up immediately, ready to bring all their supplies to Mrs. Thomson’s house.注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 In the darkness, they supported each other and went upstairs step by step with the light of the flashlight. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, a bunch of searching light from a rescue boat flashed across Mrs. Thomson’s window. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
