第二部分 阅读理解(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 和四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Many of the world’s most wondrous and beautiful destinations are in danger of being destroyed by a combination
of environmental and social factors. Below are some popular locations worth visiting be for c they disappear
Glacier National Park
United States and Canada
Glacier National Park contains some of the most beautiful and primitive wilderness in the Rocky Mountains. There
are more than 200 glacier-fed lakes and much wildlife. However, the latest warm period has caused the number of
glaciers to decrease from 150 in 1850 to 26 today. If current global warming trends continue, there will be no glaciers
left in the park by 2030.
Venice
Italy
With as many as 40 floods per year between March and September, Venice is slowly sinking at an estimated rate
of 2.5 inches every ten years. A severe flood in December 2008 brought renewed attention to Venice’s vulnerable(脆弱
的) state and approaching fate as an underwater city.
Taj Mahal
Agra, Uttar Pradesh State, India
The Taj Mahal is considered the finest example of the late style of Indian Islamic architecture. The building is
visited by three to four million tourists each year. The crowds and air pollution, however, have caused irreversible(不
可逆转的) damage to the building, making tourism officials consider closing the historic site to the public.
Pyramids of Giza
Giza, Egypt
The Pyramids have witnessed a heavy traffic in this sightseeing area for centuries, but the pollution and great
number of visitors have caused damage to the ancient structures, which are not protected by Egyptian officials. Although
camel and horseback tours are now banned from the site, the structures are still difficult to see through the crowds and
vendors.
21. What can be done to prevent the glaciers in Glacier National Park from decreasing?
A. Preventing global warming tendency. B. Preserving the primitive wilderness.
C. Abandoning glacier-fed lakes. D. Regulating the park well.
22. What may Venice become in the end if no effective measures are taken?
A. A renewed destination. B. A primitive spot.
C. A historical site. D. An underwater city.
23. What do Taj Mahal and Pyramids of Giza have in common?
A. They have Islamic architecture.
B. They appeal to many visitors.
C. They are closed by tourism officials.
D. They suffer from severe air pollution.
B
Anthony Wood re members sitting in the classroom one snowy morning as his teacher eyed the flakes(雪花) flying
outside the window. “Please boys and girls”, she said, “pray that it stops snowing.” How little she grasped the mind of
children, Mr. Wood observes, “We were praying，alright—praying that it would snow-until June.”
Everyone knows children loves now. Mr. Wood’s new book is meant for adults who remain passionate. It is less a
systematic history than a discussion through various snow-related subjects—beginning with the snowflake itself, which
the author describes poetically as “the DNA of God”. Monster snowstorms interest Mr. Wood, such as the great white
hurricane of 1888, during which hundreds of people in the north-eastern United States died of severe coldness. Winter
storms that prevented the transportation from functioning normally were disasters for cities like New York and
Philadelphia. But snow also contributed to the development of subway systems.
His chapters touch on the impact of unpredictable snowfall on the water crisis in California and on winter fun
everywhere. He offers some frustratingly disconnected guesses about how climate change will alter future snowfalls.
The short answer is that there will probably be more snow in places where the amount of water in the air increases, and
less where temperatures become too high to keep it.
And he reflects, if briefly, on snow’s delights and unusual charm. Why do people either love it or hate it? Many
long for it, Mr Wood proposes, because of the splendid isolation(隔离) that it brings. It can direct attention inward, and
help people return to themselves.
24. Why is Anthony Wood’s memory mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To make a comparison.
C. To draw a conclusion. D. To take an example.
25. What do we know about Mr. Wood’s new book?
A. It focuses on the history of snow.
B. It explains why children loves now.
C. It covers a wide range of topics about snow.
D. It only talks about the disaster caused by snow.
26. Which of the following best describes Mr Wood’s attitude toward the influence of snow?
A. Pessimistic. B. Unclear. C. Objective. D. Critical.
27. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A biography of Anthony Wood. B. An essay on climate change.
C. A fiction about snow. D. A review of a book.
C
In order to escape from bats’ hunt through sound, some of the moths have there for e evolved a “stealth coat”—
made of tiny hairs and a layer of scales(磷片)—that reduces their detectability through echolocation(回声定位).
Mare Holderied, a biologist at the University of Bristol, wanted to know how good the moths were at hiding from
bats. So he shaved off their hairs and then sent sound waves towards them, imitating how bats might echolocate to find
their prey.
It turned out the moths’ one and-a-half-millimeter layer of fur reduced their detectability by just over 40. In
addition to the fur, moths also have a thin layer of scales, tens to hundreds of thousands of them, on each wing. The
scales each respond to specific frequencies of sound waves and when a bat`s echolocation signals hit the moth’s wings,
the scales start to shake. The acoustic energy (声能) from the echolocation is thus absorbed.
Dr. Holderied and his colleagues tested how well the scales worked and found that they were as good at absorbing
sound as the fur. They absorbed as much as 87% of the incoming sound energy, but at only one tenth of the fur’s
thickness. In terms of their ability to absorb sounds, the moth’s scales outperform and are much thinner than any human-
designed soundproofing(隔音)used in homes and offices.
Recognizing the significant impact of noise on human health, especially in urban environments, Dr. Holderied’s
team has been taking inspiration from the sound-absorbing proper tics of moths to design wallpaper that can reduce the
noise of road traffic. Dr. Holderied concluded, “One day it will be possible to adorn the walls of your house with super-
thin sound absorbing wallpaper, using a design that copies the mechanisms from moths. Moths are going to inspire the
next generation of sound absorbing materials.”
28. Why did Marc Holderieds have the hairs of the moths?
A. To imitate how bat seat their prey.
B. To send sound waves towards moths.
C. To learn more about bats’ echolocation.
D. To test how moths escape from bats effectively.
29Howdomoths’scales work to reduce bats’ detectability through echolocation?
A. Absorb the acoustic energy through shaking.
B. Send signals to another moth’s wings.
C. Copy the mechanisms from bats.
D. Change specific frequencies of bats’ sound waves.
30. What does the underlined word “adorn” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Protect. B. Decorate. C. Repair. D. Support.
31. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Moth’s scales aren’t as good at absorbing sound as the fur.
B. The sound-absorbing properties of moths can save energy.
C. Moth wing-inspired sound absorbing wallpaper is insight
D. Moth’s fur outperforms any human-designed soundproofing.
D
Traditionally, it has been assumed that cultivating food leads to a loss of biodiversity and negative impacts on an
ecosystem. In a recent study, researchers looked at 28 urban community gardens across California over five years and
quantified biodiversity in plant and animal life, as well as ecosystem functions such as carbon sequestration (碳封存),
food production, pest control，and human well-being.
“We wanted to determine if there were any biodiversity and impacts on ecosystem function in those unban gardens,
“says Shalene Jha, the lead author of the study in Ecology Letters. “What we found is that these gardens, which are
providing tremendous nutritional resources and increasing well-being for gardeners, are also supporting incredibly high
levels of plant and animal biodiversity. It’s a win-win.”
Previous assumptions by scientists about the negative effect of food production on bio diversity have been almost
entirely based on intensive rural agriculture enterprises that tend to grow on lv one or two types of crops, often at a
massive scale. Urban community gardens, private gardens, and urban farms and orchards tend to grow more types of
plants in smaller areas. The new study is the first to explore the effects of urban gardens across a wide range of
biodiversity measures and ecological services.
“It’s estimated that by 2030, about 60% of the world’s population will live in cities,” Jha says. “And urban farms
and gardens currently provide about 15%-20% of our food supply, so they are essential in addressing food inequality
challenges. What we’re seeing is that urban gardens present a critical opportunity to support both biodiversity and local
food production.”
The study also found that the choices that gardeners make can have a large impact on their local ecosystem. For
instance, planting trees outside crop beds could increase carbon sequestration without decreasing food production from
too much shade. And covering only within crop beds could help improve soil carbon services, while avoiding negative
effects on pest control.
32. What’s the purpose of the study conducted by Shalene Jha?
A. To analyze the cause of loss of biodiversity.
B. To increase well-being of gardeners.
C. To study the influence of urban gardens on ecosystem.
D. To quantify nutritional levels in plants and animals.
33. What may cause the loss of biodiversity according to previous assumptions?
A. Inefficient pest control. B. Intensive agricultural pattern.
C. Limited planting scales. D. Unsatisfactory ecological services.
34. What can we infer from Jha’s words in Paragraph 4?
A. Urban gardens play a significant role in ecosystem.
B. Urban gardens will replace rural agriculture enterprises.
C. Urban gardens will be gradually decreasing.
D. Urban gardens provide the majority of our food supply.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Urban Farms Address Food Inequality
B. Urban Gardens Challenge Rural Agriculture
C. Urban Biodiversity Increases Well-being of Gardener.
D. Urban Gardens Boost Biodiversity

If you’re ready to fir cup your imagination, writing a short story or novel is one of the best ways to let your creativity
run wild! To make your own story, all you’ll need is something to write with and a bit of inspiration. We’ll walk you
through the best ways to beat writer’s block and create your own story right now.
36 You’ll want a main character or characters, people with whom they are friends and with whom they are
enemies. Authors find that actually planning the entire story, though it may take months, is beneficial to creating a
smooth, connected story. Developing your characters is important and conveying them correctly in your work is even
more so.
Use action and plot to progress your story. 37 Instead, show them. The readers can figure out your
characters’ personalities better when they observe the characters’ reactions to different situations. For example: your
main character, Mary, is very diligent. Don’t write, “Mary was a very diligent woman” write, “Mary always stayed in
the library for hours, picking through reference book after reference book.” 38
Choose a setting, or time and place, where your story will take place. Try to come up with a setting that the reader
can find believable. Even if it’s a fictional setting, it should have elements that ground it in reality. 39 Make up
your own town or state if you want. For example, Harry Potter has a very fictional setting, but the idea of school and
the importance of friends and family are very real and very universal and make the fictional elements feel more realistic.
Brainstorm your plot and organize it in an outline before you get writing. 40 Then, when you write, all you have
to do is look at the outline.
A. Develop the cast of characters who you’ll use for your story.
B. When writing, don’t tell your readers everything you planned.
C. Then take those stories and make them longer and more detailed.
D. The best stories do seem to come from real life events and experiences.
E. Try to make it sound like a place that someone would want to read about.
F. Use an outline or some other form of organization to keep your plot straight.
G. The latter lets the readers learn that she is dli gent without you feeding it to them.

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。
In the first and second grade in junior high school, I was extremely shy, I had friends, but it just wasn’t in my
personality to be very outgoing, even when I knew someone we. I was afraid I would do or say something wrong, so
usually I just smiled and listened to other people’s conversations.
I did well in school and I loved to write. However, I would escape into my writing, where I could be myself and
never had to worry about what other people thought of me. In my stories, I was never shy, I often imagined that I was
the main character in the story. My teacher, Mrs. Sather, always encouraged me to write more and be myself. She told
our class to go after our dreams and dig in with great efforts. I thoughts he was one of the first people to see my inner
strength.
One day, she showed us a play she had written and announced that our class was going to perform it. “I’ll begin to
choose all the performers tomorrow” she said, “I need someone who is not afraid to be onstage in front of a lot of people
to play the lead part of Dorothy. Anybody wants to try?” A few excited hands shot up—mine, of course, was not one of
them—and Mrs. Sather smiled. “We’ll talk more about it later,” she said. Then the bell rang and my classmates slowly
left the classroom.
“I will never do that,” I thought. But after rereading the play, I was deeply attracted by the story and couldn’t help
imagining myself to be the main character Dorothy. There seemed to be a new person inside me, a much more daring,
outgoing person who had been hidden all along, just waiting for the opportunity to appear. However, I still felt shy and
could never picture myself acting in a play in front of two hundred people. Having struggled for a few minutes, I still
did not know how to make the decision.
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。
Paragraph 1:
When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs. Sather asked me to go to her.
