This is because the bird wasn't always held with respect. At the National Book Festival, author Jack E. Davis detailed the bald eagle's “great conservation success story". The bald eagle has faced  extinction twice. The first occurred in the late 19th century. “It was then that a bald eagle seen was one to be shot, ” he said. He explained that the bird had been regarded as a dangerous animal, and considered a threat. But such threat tended to be overstated. Throughout the early 20th century, thousands of bald eagles were shot down. Things began to change for the bird in 1940, when the government passed its legal protection-the Bald Eagle Protection Act. However, only five years later, the bird faced its second near extinction when DDT, an environmentally harmful insecticide （杀虫剂），was introduced at the end of World War II． In 1963，the bald eagle hit its lowest number-totaling less than 500 nesting pairs across the U. S. “At that time, only about one-third of the nation's water was safe for swimming and fishing, ” Davis said. “That was eagle habitat, but also our habitat. ” “We stepped up. ” He mentioned that this situation led a nonprofit organization, Fish and Wildlife, to launch “hugely successful” eagle protection projects. By 2007, the bald eagle was removed from the list as the species regained its health, reaching nearly 11, 000 nesting pairs nationwide, and today's number is somewhere around 500, 000. For those looking to assist in the ongoing comeback of the bald eagle and other endangered animals, Davis said, almost every state has a center that accepts donations and welcomes visitors and volunteers. 37. What made the bald eagle almost extinct for the first time?A. The illegal hunting. B. The loose control of guns. C. The attack from other animals. D. The misunderstanding of their threat. 38. What caused Fish and Wildlife to start eagle protection projects?A. The outbreak of World War II. B. The overuse of DDT nationwide. C. The disappearance of eagle habitat. D. The worsening of eagles’ living condition. 39. What's the main purpose of the passage?A. To tell a story of a dying species. B. To advertise the book of Jack E. Davis. C. To raise the awareness of protecting wildlife. D. To introduce the ways of protecting bald eagles.  BMy dad loves his wine. One day while making a sandwich, I noticed the date on one of his wine bottles. I then took it out of the pantry（食品贮藏室）and rushed toward my father. “Dad, Dad!” I shouted. “This wine is way past its 'best before' date. ”"Son, hold on, ”he said. “No, you can't drink this any more!”“Wait, let me tell you. . . ”“Would you like me to throw it away for you?” I asked. “Ha, ha, no. Let me explain something, ” my father said cheerfully. "But. . . " I didn't want my father getting sick. “Son, some wines get better over time. The longer you wait to drink it, the better it will be. Although this may seem strange, it is true. ”When I was young, I didn't have any understanding of what this meant. But now, looking back, this would have been very helpful to remember as I went through my teenager years. We are all so keen to reach the next step quickly that we will do anything to get there. This has a negative effect on our society. In a job situation, we want promotion so much that we will step on others. When trying to go to the right college, we will do anything to get in. When we rush through our homework, we may not study enough for the test, and end up failing. All these common situations have one thing in common: they could all be solved if we just took our time. When we don't fully prepare ourselves for the next level, we become a society of people who aren't ready, but want the rewards of reaching the next level. This cheats others who have prepared and deserve the job. We need to be ready for whatever comes, ready for the unexpected. Just as wine gets better over time, so will the things in our paths. 40. How did the father react to the out-of-date wine?A. He insisted on keeping it. B. He drank it up immediately. C. He checked if it was drinkable. D. He asked his son to throw it away. 41. Which of the following might the father approve of?A. Graduating from college ahead of time. B. Getting the best job as quickly as possible. C. Preparing ourselves for a promotion patiently. D. Doing schoolwork despite missing the deadline. 42. What can we conclude from the passage?A. Good things come to those who wait. B. Positive thinking results in success. C. He who laughs last, laughs best. D. Time and tide wait for no man. CAlarming reports that the Antarctic ice sheet is becoming smaller misrepresent the facts. The ice sheet holds about 26. 5 million gigatons （十亿吨）of water． If it were to melt（融化）completely， sea levels would rise 190 feet. Such a change is an issue for the far future, if it comes at all. Much more modest ice loss is normal in Antarctica. Each year, some 2, 200 gigatons of the ice is discharged （消融），while snowfall adds almost the same amount. The difference between the discharge and addition each year is the annual loss. That figure has been increasing, from 40 gigatons a year in the 1980s to 250 gigatons a year in the 2010s. But the increase is just a slight change in a complex process. If it continued at that rate, the sea level would be raised by 3 inches over 100 years. Many fear that a warming globe could increase discharge and cause more rapid sea-level rise. Two recent studies focus on this issue. Researchers in the study of Thwaites Glacier （冰川）-an unusually broad and fast Antarctic glacier-infer that in the past it became smaller for half a year at more than twice the fastest rate ever observed. The cause of this specific event remains unknown, partly because the time of the rapid melting hasn't yet been determined. But the media goes with this angle： “A ‘doomsday （末日）glacier’， the size of Florida，is breaking faster than thought. ”A second study tested the idea that the melted freshwater could be carried by currents to speed up the discharge of nearby glaciers. Researchers constructed a special model to prove their idea. If ocean currents can connect the discharges of distant glaciers, that would add to the complexity in the Antarctic ice sheet. To emphasize their idea, researchers used human influences almost three times larger. Even though that fact is stated in the paper, reporters rarely catch such nuance, and the media goes with headlines such as “a massive tsunami would drown New York City, killing millions. ” A more accurate headline would read: “Ocean currents connecting Antarctic glaciers might quicken their melting. ”These two studies were conducted with clever methods to infer past conditions and advanced computer modeling to show possible situations. These papers describe the science with appropriate precision and caution, but it is a shame that the media misrepresents the research to raise alarm. That denies the public the right to make informed decisions about “climate action, ” as well as the opportunity to be amazed at the science itself. 43. What does the author think of the annual loss of the Antarctic ice sheet?A. It's a danger. B. It's limited. C. It changes significantly. D. It decreases yearly. 44. What can we learn from the two studies?A. Both studies constructed new models. B. The Thwaites Glacier melts faster than expected. C. The complexity of the ocean speeds up the discharge of glaciers. D. Neither the reason nor the time of the Thwaites Glacier's melting is known. 45. The underlined phrase “catch such nuance" probably meansA. deny the obvious factsB. pay attention to the differenceC. evaluate the detailsD. are serious about the warning46. What can we conclude from this passage?A. Antarctic glaciers melting makes sea level rise greatly. B. Recent studies on the melting ice call for people's action. C. Reports of the media on Antarctic glaciers mislead the public. D. The researches about the glaciers melting raise public awareness.  第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The Benefits of Making Fun of YourselfBeing able to laugh at yourself isn't always easy.

That means that whenever students are doing homework, they are going to be faced with the problem of using their devices for purposes other than learning. Instead of concentrating on one task, they are performing multiple tasks. According to the research by Larry Rosen, published in the journal Computers in Human Science, students spend up to 45% of their homework time on various tasks unrelated to their studies. Students often get distracted（分神）by their phones or use their laptops for unauthorized （未经许可的）activities. Often, students think that they are able to multitask effectively, without sacrificing their studies. However, the research shows that it is true in only 5% of all cases. But why do teenagers multitask? The answer is simple: multitasking makes us feel good. As the research indicates, the entertainment gained from secondary activities during studies makes learners feel better emotionally. Watching TV or talking to your friends by email is pleasant and helps students fight boredom while doing homework or listening to a lecture they find boring. Another reason why students multitask is that they simply do not see the negative impact it has on their coursework. Teenagers often overrate their abilities. The seemingly tiny distractions, however, result in a constant need to switch focus and sort out information, injuring the brain by overuse and making the process inefficient. However, the effects of multitasking are not entirely negative. The research conducted by HKU indicates that people who routinely multitask are able to use their senses in conjunction （结合）more easily. Other research also shows that multitasking has a positive effect on the ability to pass judgment and solve problems quickly and efficiently. 52. What problem do students have when doing homework?53. How does multitasking influence students' study?54. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Students choose to multitask even though they are aware that they might get distracted. 55. What measure （s） can you take to avoid your multitasking? Why? （In about 40 words）第二节（20分）假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。学校下个月将举办英文短剧大赛。作为班长，你打算邀请外教Mr. Jenson 帮助指导你班的英文短剧表演。请你用英文给他写一封电子邮件，内容包括：1．指导的具体内容；2．排练安排和其他注意事项。注意：1．词数100左右；2．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。提示词：rehearse-to practise or make people practise something such as a play or concert in order to prepare for a public performance rehearsal-a time when all the people in a play, concert etc. practise before a public performanceDear Mr: Jenson, Yours sincerely, Li Hua
