第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题：每小题1.5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
The number of weather-related disasters has increased by five times over the past 50 years, the latest report by the World Meteorological (气象) Organization (WMO) said on September. However, thanks to improved early warning systems and disaster management, the number of death from these hazards (危险) has been almost three times less.
According to the WMO, from 1970 to 2019, weather, climate and water hazards accounted for 50 percent of all disasters. Among the top 10 hazards that led to the largest loss of human life during this period were droughts, storms, floods and extreme temperatures. However, deaths fell from over 50, 000 in the 1970s to less than 20, 000 in the 2010s.
“Weather, climate and water extremes are increasing and will become more frequent and severe in many parts of the world as a result of climate change,” says WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.
“That means more heat waves, drought and forest fires such as those we have observed recently in Europe and North America. We have more water vapor in the atmosphere, which is worsening extreme rainfall and deadly flooding. The warming of the oceans has affected the frequency and area of existence of the most intense tropical storms.”
“Economic losses are increasing as exposure increases. But behind the statistics lies a message of hope. Improved multi-hazard early warning systems have led to a significant reduction in deaths. Quite simply, we are better than ever before at saving lives,” Taalas said.
22．What do we know from the first paragraph?
A．Disasters connected with weather have gone up.
B．The number of weather-related disasters has decreased.
C．The number of deaths from hazards has been increasing.
D．Early warning systems have made disasters decline much.
23．What will happen according to Petteri Taalas?
A．There will be more extreme weather.
B．Extreme rainfall will no longer exist.
C．Water vapor in the atmosphere will go down.
D．Humans will defeat extreme weather in the end.
24．What is hopeful behind the bad news?
A．Improved warning systems will save economic losses.
B．Economic losses are going down as exposure increases.
C．More lives will be saved thanks to early warning systems.
D．Improved early warning systems will control extreme weather
25．Where may the text be taken from?
A．A novel. B．A brochure. C．A magazine. D．A guideline.
B
Steve Forest is a scientist. He’s standing on an island off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Below him are several hundred penguins and their children. Forrest’s job is to count every one of them. It's snowing. There is a big wind, too. And their children won’t stay still. Penguins are great climbers. So Forrest and the team members must be too. And penguins aren't always clean.
Forrest has been coming to Antarctica every January for six years. He's helping count the area’s penguins. This will help researchers better understand the Antarctic environment. There used to be lots of penguins in Antarctica, “It's all because of climate change,” Heather J. Lynch says seriously. She is leading the research team. The team member Noah Strycker adds, “We know climate change is hitting the Antarctic Peninsula harder than anywhere else in the world. We are following the situation closely.”
Scientists think that warming waters do harm to krill, the tiny animals that penguins eat. This is bad for the sea life. But krill are hard to study, so researchers pay attention to penguins. They’re easier to follow. They return to the same place each year to lay eggs. If penguins aren't doing well , krill probably aren't either. “Penguins give us an idea about what is going on in the sea around us,” Forrest says.
This year, Lynch’s research team uses a drone to help them. They fly it over an area to take pictures to count penguins.
Counting penguins is quite necessary. The more we learn, the more we know about krill and the ocean animals that depend on them. When we understand them, we can start fixing them. We should consider carefully what Lynch says: “What’s happening in the Antarctic is happening everywhere.”
26．What is required of scientists like Forrest according to Paragraph 1?
A．Being clean. B．Being good at math.
C．Being cool-headed. D．Being skilled in climbing.
27．What's the point of counting penguins in the Antarctie?
A．To protect this animal species from extinction.
B．To help find out how many krill might be living
C．To have a better knowledge of the Antarctic environment
D．To collect first-hand data for analyzing global warming.
28．What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Scientists. B．Krill. C．Penguins. D．Ocean animals.
29．What can be inferred from the text?
A．Penguins lay eggs in the same place on the island every year.
B．The penguin population is increasing due to climate change.
C．The penguin population determines the krill population.
D．Climate change is most obvious in the Antarctic Peninsula.
C
Curiosity is what drives us to keep learning, keep trying, keep pushing forward. But how does one generate (产生) curiosity, in oneself or others? George Loewenstein, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, offered an answer in the classic1994 paper, “The Psychology of Curiosity.”
Curiosity arises, Loewenstein wrote, “when attention becomes focused on a gap in one's knowledge. Such information gaps produce the feeling of deprivation (匮乏) labeled curiosity. The curious individual is motivated to obtain the missing information to reduce the feeling of deprivation.” Loewenstein's theory helps explain why curiosity is such a force: it's not only a mental state but also an emotion, a powerful feeling that drives us forward.
Scientist Daniel Willingham notes that teachers are often “so eager to get to the answer that we do not devote enough time to developing the question.” Yet it's the question that stimulates (刺激) curiosity; being told an answer stops curiosity before it can even get going.
In his 1994 paper, George Loewenstein noted that curiosity requires some basic knowledge. We're not curious about something we know absolutely nothing about. But as soon as we know even a little bit, our curiosity is aroused and we want to learn more. In fact, research shows that curiosity increases with knowledge: the more we know, the more we want to know. To get this process started, Loewenstein suggests, take steps with some interesting but incomplete information.
Language teachers have long used communication in exercises that open an information gap and then require learners to communicate with each other in order to fill it. For example, one student might be given a series of pictures for the beginning of the story, while the student's partner is given a series of pictures showing how that same story ends. Only by speaking with each other (in the foreign language they are learning, of course) can the students fill in each others' information gaps.
30．When one notices a gap in his knowledge, he .
A．desires to fill it B．tends to be afraid
C．might get tired and sad D．will become focused on his learning
31．What does Daniel Willingham imply in the article?
A．Answers are more important than questions.
B．Teachers should be eager to get to the answer.
C．Teachers know how to stimulate students’ curiosity.
D．Teachers are partly to blame for students’ hating school.
32．According to George Loewenstein’s paper, curiosity about something occurs only when you .
A．have read a lot of books B．know little about something
C．have some related information D．are given incomplete information
33．What is the article mainly about?
A．Why students hate school. B．Why curiosity is important.
C．How to stimulate curiosity. D．What makes people hungry for knowledge.
D
Alaska’s Yukon River has faced major salmon shortages in recent years. Officials say record-high temperatures last year killed most salmon in the 3,200-kilometer river before the fish were able to reproduce. The losses led Alaska to stop their salmon harvests in 2021 to make sure that enough fish survived to reproduce for another year.
The poor salmon harvests caused major financial losses to private fishing companies in the area. The die-offs also hurt native communities, which traditionally store the fish as a year-round food supply.
Last month, the U.S. Department of Commerce declared a disaster for Yukon River fishing for 2020 and 2021, making aid money available. Alaska has sent emergency fish shipments to areas affected by the salmon shortages.
Scientists have mostly blamed the problems on a series of heat waves in the Bering Sea and North Pacific Ocean from 2014 to 2019. The warm ocean waters affected salmon’s living in the sea before they returned to lay eggs.
Climate change may also be affecting what the salmon are eating. Fishing experts say young salmon are likely filling up on nutrient-poor food because warmer waters drive away healthier organisms (有机物) they normally feed on. “In my opinion, the salmon are starving with climate change,” said Brooke Woods in the Yukon River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission.
The effects of climate change on freshwater environments have also been studied. Vanessa von Biela is a biologist who looked at the rivers, streams and lakes where salmon live. Her team found that Chinook salmon show heat stress at temperatures above 18℃. They start dying above 20℃. In 2019, temperatures on the Alaskan side were above 18℃ for 44 straight days, a recent study found.
The effects of warming waters can be reduced by climate-driven glacier (冰川) runoff, which brings cooler water into rivers and streams. But scientists still expect salmon to begin slowly moving to new areas within Alaska. “Salmon will find a way,” said Biela. “but it’s going to be hard for communities in places where there might not be salmon anymore.”
34．What do the locals rely on salmon for?
A．Food supply. B．Scientific study. C．Green tourism. D．Water improvement.
35．What did the declaration of the disaster bring about?
A．Financial losses. B．Relief funds. C．Economic growth. D．Fast delivery.
36．Which of the following is the effect of climate change in Yukon River?
A．No healthy organisms are left there. B．Salmon there lose the ability to lay eggs.
C．Salmon there go short of nutritious food. D．The temperature remains above 18℃ till now.
37．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Measures to protect salmon are effective. B．Salmon will not find a way out of the crisis.
C．The amount of salmon will increase greatly. D．Salmon are likely to leave the river for survival.

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。
There I was stuck AGAIN. This was the same feeling that overwhelms me every year. But this year it was different, because if I failed this exam I would not graduate. I sat there, panic stricken, unable to move. Pressure crushed in on me. What if I could not go to high school? Would Dad and Mum kick me out of their house?
I took two deep breaths and looked up. I could see the teacher pacing up and down. The classroom was dead silent except for the clock. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. I checked the clock for the third time. Ten minutes left! I clenched (握紧) and unclenched my fist in an attempt to calm myself. Think! I told myself. I knew I could do this. My hand couldn’t help trembling. Then I scribbled (胡乱写下) the first few words that hit me.
“It isn’t my fault...”
I stared blankly at those words. At the comer of my eye, I could see my teacher walking towards me. She was checking on our progress! Dread built up within me. Then, I glanced at the four words again. Without any warning, my hand moved to write.
Hair on my arms stood as the teacher leaned in and started to read my work. I peered over to see my teacher’s expression, praying that my work had not brought in disappointment. To my astonishment, she displayed a clear satisfaction! That was good, wasn’t it? I hurriedly looked down at my essay.
I skimmed it through. I felt proud. Now, there’s something I was still worried about. I checked the clock. Two minutes left! I was still writing!
I bit my lip, took a deep breath, and concentrated on writing. I heard the teacher leave.
“There’s one minute left. Please check your work.” the teacher reminded us.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
“One minute left?” I exclaimed.

M: Yes, madam, and we also offer dinner if you like.
W: OK. That sounds good. Thank you. I’m going to think about it and once I’ve got everything booked, I’ll give you a call.

【原文】
W: I’m Lee Minwoo from South Korea. When I was little I was very interested in English. I learned English at school. There was a good teacher who was not a native English speaker. He taught French and German, but he really spoke English quite well. It was funny because I was the only student in his class — it was really a private lesson. I had an excellent coursebook. I still keep a copy of it. The front cover was red with a lovely picture, and it was very modern. Learning English was quite easy for me because the teacher was so good and he helped a lot. Also, I’m quite good at learning languages. It was really enjoyable to have classes. I loved the sound of the words. I felt really proud when my spelling improved day by day and I could read a short story. In middle school, English was still my favorite subject. I even stayed in America for one year as an exchange student. I learned a lot there, not only English but different cultures.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要以科学家史蒂夫·福里斯特为例，介绍了他们在南极洲数企鹅的工作，以及这项工作的意义。
26．推理判断题。根据第一段“Steve Forest is a scientist. He’s standing on an island off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Below him are several hundred penguins and their children. Forrest’s job is to count every one of them. It's snowing. There is a big wind, too. And their children won’t stay still. Penguins are great climbers. So Forrest and the team members must be too. And penguins aren't always clean.(史蒂夫·福里斯特是一位科学家。他站在南极半岛海岸外的一个小岛上。在他的下面是几百只企鹅和它们的孩子。福雷斯特的工作是清点每一个。下雪了。也有大风。他们的孩子不会乖乖的。企鹅是攀岩高手。所以福雷斯特和队员们也必须是。企鹅并不总是干净的)”可推知，像Forrest这样的科学家需要头脑冷静。故选C。
27．细节理解题。根据第二段中“He's helping count the area’s penguins. This will help researchers better understand the Antarctic environment. (他在帮着数这个地区的企鹅。这将有助于研究人员更好地了解南极的环境)”可知，在南极数企鹅有助于了解南极环境。故选C。
28．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“The more we learn, the more we know about krill and the ocean animals that depend on them.(我们了解得越多，就越了解磷虾和依赖它们生存的海洋动物)”可知，当我们了解了磷虾，我们就可以开始拯救这些磷虾了，故them指的是“磷虾”。故选B。
29．推理判断题。根据第二段中“The team member Noah Strycker adds, “We know climate change is hitting the Antarctic Peninsula harder than anywhere else in the world. We are following the situation closely.”(小组成员诺亚·斯特莱克补充说：“我们知道气候变化对南极半岛的影响比世界上其他任何地方都要严重。我们正在密切关注事态发展。”)”可推知，气候变化在南极半岛最为明显。故选D。
30．A 31．D 32．C 33．C
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。好奇心像一台发动机，让你在求知的路上突飞猛进、硕果累累。那么如何激发好奇心呢？请看科学家们怎么说吧。
30．细节理解题。根据第二段中的The curious individual is motivated to obtain the missing information to reduce the feeling of deprivation.可知，好奇的人会被激励去获取缺失的信息，从而减少被剥夺的感觉。由此可知，当人们意识到知识缺口时，就渴望弥补它。故选A。
31．推理判断题。根据第三段Scientist Daniel Willingham notes that teachers are often “so eager to get to the answer that we do not devote enough time to developing the question.” Yet it's the question that stimulates (刺激) curiosity; being told an answer stops curiosity before it can even get going.可知，科学家Daniel Willingham指出，老师们往往“太急于得到答案，以至于我们没有投入足够的时间来研究这个问题。” 然而，正是这个问题激发了人们的好奇心；被告知答案会在好奇心开始之前就停止了。由此可知，Daniel Willingham暗示学生对学校的厌恶，部分要归咎于教师。故选D。
32．细节理解题。根据第四段的In his 1994 paper, George Loewenstein noted that curiosity requires some basic knowledge. We're not curious about something we know absolutely nothing about.可知，George Loewenstein在他1994年的论文中指出，好奇心需要一些基本的知识。我们对自己一无所知的事物并不好奇。由此可知，只有当你有一些相关的信息时，你才会对某事产生好奇心。故选C。
33．主旨大意题。通读全文以及根据第一段中的But how does one generate (产生) curiosity, in oneself or others?(但是，一个人是如何激发自己或他人的好奇心的呢？)可知，本文讲述了好奇心是怎样产生的问题，针对此问题，最后三段对如何激发好奇心给出了科学的建议。由此可知本文主要谈论了怎样去激发好奇心。故选C。
34．A 35．B 36．C 37．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是阿拉斯加育空河近年来面临鲑鱼严重短缺的问题，科学家们大多将这些问题归咎于气候变化。
34．细节理解题。根据第二段的“The die-offs also hurt native communities, which traditionally store the fish as a year-round food supply.(这些鱼类的死亡也对当地社区造成了伤害，当地传统上储存这些鱼类作为全年的食物供应。)”可知，当地人靠鲑鱼来作为食物供应。故选A。
35．细节理解题。根据第三段的“Last month, the U.S. Department of Commerce declared a disaster for Yukon River fishing for 2020 and 2021, making aid money available.(上个月，美国商务部宣布育空河渔业在2020年和2021年处于灾难状态，使得援助资金被获得。)”可知，灾难的声明带来了救援资金。故选B。
36．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的“Climate change may also be affecting what the salmon are eating. Fishing experts say young salmon are likely filling up on nutrient-poor food because warmer waters drive away healthier organisms they normally feed on.(气候变化也可能影响鲑鱼的饮食。渔业专家说，年幼的鲑鱼可能会吃营养不良的食物，因为温暖的海水赶走了它们通常赖以为生的健康生物。)”可知，Yukon River的气候变化的影响是那里的鲑鱼缺乏营养食物。故选C。
37．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But scientists still expect salmon to begin slowly moving to new areas within Alaska.(但科学家仍然预计鲑鱼会开始缓慢地迁移到阿拉斯加的新地区。)”可知，鲑鱼很可能为了生存而离开这条河流。故选D。
38．D 39．A 40．E 41．B 42．G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了对于选择旅游伙伴的一些建议。要选择兴趣相同且消费能力相近的伙伴一同旅游，这样可以在路上互相帮助。还要在旅游前与同伴进行充分讨论，这样可以减少旅行时与同伴的矛盾。
38．根据后文“For example, a travel partner can provide practical support and celebrate in the rewards of first-hand experience with unfamiliar locations and cultures.(例如，旅行伙伴可以提供实际支持，并庆祝亲身体验陌生地点和文化的收获)”可知，后文提到旅行伙伴可以对你提供实际支持，并在你不熟悉的地方帮助你，可见与同伴旅行有其好处。故D选项“但结伴旅行也有好处”符合语境，与前文“Traveling alone gives you the freedom to create your own schedule and do as you please.(独自旅行可以让你自由地制定自己的时间表，随心所欲)”所讲的独自旅行的好处形成转折关系，故选D。

40．根据后文“You don’t want to be planning an expensive getaway when your friend is looking for budget travel.(当你的朋友正在寻找穷游的时候，你肯定不想计划一次昂贵的旅行)”可知，后文提到朋友想穷游，你就不能计划昂贵的旅行，可见两人金钱观要一致，所以选择旅行伙伴时，要确保你们的金钱观相同，也就是消费能力相近。故E选项“确保你们在金钱问题上达成一致”符合语境，故选E。
41．根据上文“Have an honest conversation. If you are thinking about traveling with a companion, take some time to have an open discussion. Schedule a time to sit down and talk. Try saying, “I know we’ve talked about the idea of traveling through Europe together. Let’s have a coffee this week and actually talk that through.”(进行一次诚实的对话。如果你考虑结伴旅行，那就花点时间开诚布公地讨论一下。安排一个时间坐下来谈谈。试着说：“我知道我们已经讨论过一起去欧洲旅行的想法。这周我们一起喝杯咖啡，好好谈谈这个问题。”)”以及后文“You should also talk about your travel style.(你们还应该谈谈你们的旅行风格)”可知，本段中作者的建议花点时间开展一场讨论，故本句是在建议讨论的内容，故B选项“你们应该讨论一下旅行的目标”符合语境，故选B。
42．根据后文“Maybe it will rain on the day you planned to visit the Grand Canyon. Or you might not be able to get reservations at that French restaurant you’ve been dying to try. (也许你计划去大峡谷的那天会下雨。又或者，你一直想去的那家法国餐厅可能订不到位子)”可知，后文提到因为也许天公不作美，当你想去大峡谷旅行时却下雨了，表明无论你多么小心地计划你的旅行，都很可能会出错。故G选项“不管你把旅行计划得多么仔细，还是有可能出差错”符合语境，故选G。
43．B 44．A 45．B 46．C 47．D 48．A 49．B 50．C 51．A 52．D 53．C 54．D 55．A 56．B 57．C 58．D 59．A 60．C 61．D 62．B

74．参考范文
One possible version:
“One minute left?” I exclaimed. Everybody looked at me weirdly. I looked down, feeling ashamed. But I had to finish the paper. I tried to ignore everything and continue writing. One more word, I said to myself, come on. Just like this, I forced myself to concentrate and willed my hand to scribble whatever that popped up on my mind. “Time’s up! Put your pens down. Please hand in your test paper to me in the front.” the teacher announced. I finished! I put down my pen, breathing a sigh of relief, and then I stood up and limped towards the teacher to hand it in-my legs felt like noodles, thanks to the extreme tension.
A week later, the teacher handed the papers back to us. It was the time for truth! I folded my paper and held it tightly in my hands, shilly-shallying about whether to check the result in front of my classmates. Finally I decided I should face my fate bravely and unfolded it. It was an “A”! I could not believe my eyes. How could it be? It was the first time in my life that I had got an “A”. I turned to look at my teacher. Our eyes met. She nodded and gave me a big smile! At that point, I made a firm resolution: I’d be more hard-working and more confident, so that I wouldn’t be stuck and panic like this again in high school.

第一节（共15小题：每小题1.5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
The number of weather-related disasters has increased by five times over the past 50 years, the latest report by the World Meteorological (气象) Organization (WMO) said on September. However, thanks to improved early warning systems and disaster management, the number of death from these hazards (危险) has been almost three times less.
According to the WMO, from 1970 to 2019, weather, climate and water hazards accounted for 50 percent of all disasters. Among the top 10 hazards that led to the largest loss of human life during this period were droughts, storms, floods and extreme temperatures. However, deaths fell from over 50, 000 in the 1970s to less than 20, 000 in the 2010s.
“Weather, climate and water extremes are increasing and will become more frequent and severe in many parts of the world as a result of climate change,” says WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.
“That means more heat waves, drought and forest fires such as those we have observed recently in Europe and North America. We have more water vapor in the atmosphere, which is worsening extreme rainfall and deadly flooding. The warming of the oceans has affected the frequency and area of existence of the most intense tropical storms.”
“Economic losses are increasing as exposure increases. But behind the statistics lies a message of hope. Improved multi-hazard early warning systems have led to a significant reduction in deaths. Quite simply, we are better than ever before at saving lives,” Taalas said.
22．What do we know from the first paragraph?
A．Disasters connected with weather have gone up.
B．The number of weather-related disasters has decreased.
C．The number of deaths from hazards has been increasing.
D．Early warning systems have made disasters decline much.
23．What will happen according to Petteri Taalas?
A．There will be more extreme weather.
B．Extreme rainfall will no longer exist.
C．Water vapor in the atmosphere will go down.
D．Humans will defeat extreme weather in the end.
24．What is hopeful behind the bad news?
A．Improved warning systems will save economic losses.
B．Economic losses are going down as exposure increases.
C．More lives will be saved thanks to early warning systems.
D．Improved early warning systems will control extreme weather
25．Where may the text be taken from?
A．A novel. B．A brochure. C．A magazine. D．A guideline.

Steve Forest is a scientist. He’s standing on an island off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Below him are several hundred penguins and their children. Forrest’s job is to count every one of them. It's snowing. There is a big wind, too. And their children won’t stay still. Penguins are great climbers. So Forrest and the team members must be too. And penguins aren't always clean.
Forrest has been coming to Antarctica every January for six years. He's helping count the area’s penguins. This will help researchers better understand the Antarctic environment. There used to be lots of penguins in Antarctica, “It's all because of climate change,” Heather J. Lynch says seriously. She is leading the research team. The team member Noah Strycker adds, “We know climate change is hitting the Antarctic Peninsula harder than anywhere else in the world. We are following the situation closely.”
Scientists think that warming waters do harm to krill, the tiny animals that penguins eat. This is bad for the sea life. But krill are hard to study, so researchers pay attention to penguins. They’re easier to follow. They return to the same place each year to lay eggs. If penguins aren't doing well , krill probably aren't either. “Penguins give us an idea about what is going on in the sea around us,” Forrest says.
This year, Lynch’s research team uses a drone to help them. They fly it over an area to take pictures to count penguins.
Counting penguins is quite necessary. The more we learn, the more we know about krill and the ocean animals that depend on them. When we understand them, we can start fixing them. We should consider carefully what Lynch says: “What’s happening in the Antarctic is happening everywhere.”
26．What is required of scientists like Forrest according to Paragraph 1?
A．Being clean. B．Being good at math.
C．Being cool-headed. D．Being skilled in climbing.
27．What's the point of counting penguins in the Antarctie?
A．To protect this animal species from extinction.
B．To help find out how many krill might be living
C．To have a better knowledge of the Antarctic environment
D．To collect first-hand data for analyzing global warming.
28．What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Scientists. B．Krill. C．Penguins. D．Ocean animals.
29．What can be inferred from the text?
A．Penguins lay eggs in the same place on the island every year.
B．The penguin population is increasing due to climate change.
C．The penguin population determines the krill population.
D．Climate change is most obvious in the Antarctic Peninsula.
C
Curiosity is what drives us to keep learning, keep trying, keep pushing forward. But how does one generate (产生) curiosity, in oneself or others? George Loewenstein, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, offered an answer in the classic1994 paper, “The Psychology of Curiosity.”
Curiosity arises, Loewenstein wrote, “when attention becomes focused on a gap in one's knowledge. Such information gaps produce the feeling of deprivation (匮乏) labeled curiosity. The curious individual is motivated to obtain the missing information to reduce the feeling of deprivation.” Loewenstein's theory helps explain why curiosity is such a force: it's not only a mental state but also an emotion, a powerful feeling that drives us forward.
Scientist Daniel Willingham notes that teachers are often “so eager to get to the answer that we do not devote enough time to developing the question.” Yet it's the question that stimulates (刺激) curiosity; being told an answer stops curiosity before it can even get going.
In his 1994 paper, George Loewenstein noted that curiosity requires some basic knowledge. We're not curious about something we know absolutely nothing about. But as soon as we know even a little bit, our curiosity is aroused and we want to learn more. In fact, research shows that curiosity increases with knowledge: the more we know, the more we want to know. To get this process started, Loewenstein suggests, take steps with some interesting but incomplete information.
Language teachers have long used communication in exercises that open an information gap and then require learners to communicate with each other in order to fill it. For example, one student might be given a series of pictures for the beginning of the story, while the student's partner is given a series of pictures showing how that same story ends. Only by speaking with each other (in the foreign language they are learning, of course) can the students fill in each others' information gaps.
30．When one notices a gap in his knowledge, he .
A．desires to fill it B．tends to be afraid
C．might get tired and sad D．will become focused on his learning
31．What does Daniel Willingham imply in the article?
A．Answers are more important than questions.
B．Teachers should be eager to get to the answer.
C．Teachers know how to stimulate students’ curiosity.
D．Teachers are partly to blame for students’ hating school.
32．According to George Loewenstein’s paper, curiosity about something occurs only when you .
A．have read a lot of books B．know little about something
C．have some related information D．are given incomplete information
33．What is the article mainly about?
A．Why students hate school. B．Why curiosity is important.
C．How to stimulate curiosity. D．What makes people hungry for knowledge.
D
Alaska’s Yukon River has faced major salmon shortages in recent years. Officials say record-high temperatures last year killed most salmon in the 3,200-kilometer river before the fish were able to reproduce. The losses led Alaska to stop their salmon harvests in 2021 to make sure that enough fish survived to reproduce for another year.
The poor salmon harvests caused major financial losses to private fishing companies in the area. The die-offs also hurt native communities, which traditionally store the fish as a year-round food supply.
Last month, the U.S. Department of Commerce declared a disaster for Yukon River fishing for 2020 and 2021, making aid money available. Alaska has sent emergency fish shipments to areas affected by the salmon shortages.
Scientists have mostly blamed the problems on a series of heat waves in the Bering Sea and North Pacific Ocean from 2014 to 2019. The warm ocean waters affected salmon’s living in the sea before they returned to lay eggs.
Climate change may also be affecting what the salmon are eating. Fishing experts say young salmon are likely filling up on nutrient-poor food because warmer waters drive away healthier organisms (有机物) they normally feed on. “In my opinion, the salmon are starving with climate change,” said Brooke Woods in the Yukon River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission.
The effects of climate change on freshwater environments have also been studied. Vanessa von Biela is a biologist who looked at the rivers, streams and lakes where salmon live. Her team found that Chinook salmon show heat stress at temperatures above 18℃. They start dying above 20℃. In 2019, temperatures on the Alaskan side were above 18℃ for 44 straight days, a recent study found.
The effects of warming waters can be reduced by climate-driven glacier (冰川) runoff, which brings cooler water into rivers and streams. But scientists still expect salmon to begin slowly moving to new areas within Alaska. “Salmon will find a way,” said Biela. “but it’s going to be hard for communities in places where there might not be salmon anymore.”
34．What do the locals rely on salmon for?
A．Food supply. B．Scientific study. C．Green tourism. D．Water improvement.
35．What did the declaration of the disaster bring about?
A．Financial losses. B．Relief funds. C．Economic growth. D．Fast delivery.
36．Which of the following is the effect of climate change in Yukon River?
A．No healthy organisms are left there. B．Salmon there lose the ability to lay eggs.
C．Salmon there go short of nutritious food. D．The temperature remains above 18℃ till now.
37．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Measures to protect salmon are effective. B．Salmon will not find a way out of the crisis.
C．The amount of salmon will increase greatly. D．Salmon are likely to leave the river for survival.

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。
There I was stuck AGAIN. This was the same feeling that overwhelms me every year. But this year it was different, because if I failed this exam I would not graduate. I sat there, panic stricken, unable to move. Pressure crushed in on me. What if I could not go to high school? Would Dad and Mum kick me out of their house?
I took two deep breaths and looked up. I could see the teacher pacing up and down. The classroom was dead silent except for the clock. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. I checked the clock for the third time. Ten minutes left! I clenched (握紧) and unclenched my fist in an attempt to calm myself. Think! I told myself. I knew I could do this. My hand couldn’t help trembling. Then I scribbled (胡乱写下) the first few words that hit me.
“It isn’t my fault...”
I stared blankly at those words. At the comer of my eye, I could see my teacher walking towards me. She was checking on our progress! Dread built up within me. Then, I glanced at the four words again. Without any warning, my hand moved to write.
Hair on my arms stood as the teacher leaned in and started to read my work. I peered over to see my teacher’s expression, praying that my work had not brought in disappointment. To my astonishment, she displayed a clear satisfaction! That was good, wasn’t it? I hurriedly looked down at my essay.
I skimmed it through. I felt proud. Now, there’s something I was still worried about. I checked the clock. Two minutes left! I was still writing!
I bit my lip, took a deep breath, and concentrated on writing. I heard the teacher leave.
“There’s one minute left. Please check your work.” the teacher reminded us.

1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

【原文】
W: I’m Lee Minwoo from South Korea. When I was little I was very interested in English. I learned English at school. There was a good teacher who was not a native English speaker. He taught French and German, but he really spoke English quite well. It was funny because I was the only student in his class — it was really a private lesson. I had an excellent coursebook. I still keep a copy of it. The front cover was red with a lovely picture, and it was very modern. Learning English was quite easy for me because the teacher was so good and he helped a lot. Also, I’m quite good at learning languages. It was really enjoyable to have classes. I loved the sound of the words. I felt really proud when my spelling improved day by day and I could read a short story. In middle school, English was still my favorite subject. I even stayed in America for one year as an exchange student. I learned a lot there, not only English but different cultures.

31．推理判断题。根据第三段Scientist Daniel Willingham notes that teachers are often “so eager to get to the answer that we do not devote enough time to developing the question.” Yet it's the question that stimulates (刺激) curiosity; being told an answer stops curiosity before it can even get going.可知，科学家Daniel Willingham指出，老师们往往“太急于得到答案，以至于我们没有投入足够的时间来研究这个问题。” 然而，正是这个问题激发了人们的好奇心；被告知答案会在好奇心开始之前就停止了。由此可知，Daniel Willingham暗示学生对学校的厌恶，部分要归咎于教师。故选D。
32．细节理解题。根据第四段的In his 1994 paper, George Loewenstein noted that curiosity requires some basic knowledge. We're not curious about something we know absolutely nothing about.可知，George Loewenstein在他1994年的论文中指出，好奇心需要一些基本的知识。我们对自己一无所知的事物并不好奇。由此可知，只有当你有一些相关的信息时，你才会对某事产生好奇心。故选C。
33．主旨大意题。通读全文以及根据第一段中的But how does one generate (产生) curiosity, in oneself or others?(但是，一个人是如何激发自己或他人的好奇心的呢？)可知，本文讲述了好奇心是怎样产生的问题，针对此问题，最后三段对如何激发好奇心给出了科学的建议。由此可知本文主要谈论了怎样去激发好奇心。故选C。
34．A 35．B 36．C 37．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是阿拉斯加育空河近年来面临鲑鱼严重短缺的问题，科学家们大多将这些问题归咎于气候变化。
34．细节理解题。根据第二段的“The die-offs also hurt native communities, which traditionally store the fish as a year-round food supply.(这些鱼类的死亡也对当地社区造成了伤害，当地传统上储存这些鱼类作为全年的食物供应。)”可知，当地人靠鲑鱼来作为食物供应。故选A。
35．细节理解题。根据第三段的“Last month, the U.S. Department of Commerce declared a disaster for Yukon River fishing for 2020 and 2021, making aid money available.(上个月，美国商务部宣布育空河渔业在2020年和2021年处于灾难状态，使得援助资金被获得。)”可知，灾难的声明带来了救援资金。故选B。
36．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的“Climate change may also be affecting what the salmon are eating. Fishing experts say young salmon are likely filling up on nutrient-poor food because warmer waters drive away healthier organisms they normally feed on.(气候变化也可能影响鲑鱼的饮食。渔业专家说，年幼的鲑鱼可能会吃营养不良的食物，因为温暖的海水赶走了它们通常赖以为生的健康生物。)”可知，Yukon River的气候变化的影响是那里的鲑鱼缺乏营养食物。故选C。
37．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But scientists still expect salmon to begin slowly moving to new areas within Alaska.(但科学家仍然预计鲑鱼会开始缓慢地迁移到阿拉斯加的新地区。)”可知，鲑鱼很可能为了生存而离开这条河流。故选D。
38．D 39．A 40．E 41．B 42．G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了对于选择旅游伙伴的一些建议。要选择兴趣相同且消费能力相近的伙伴一同旅游，这样可以在路上互相帮助。还要在旅游前与同伴进行充分讨论，这样可以减少旅行时与同伴的矛盾。
38．根据后文“For example, a travel partner can provide practical support and celebrate in the rewards of first-hand experience with unfamiliar locations and cultures.(例如，旅行伙伴可以提供实际支持，并庆祝亲身体验陌生地点和文化的收获)”可知，后文提到旅行伙伴可以对你提供实际支持，并在你不熟悉的地方帮助你，可见与同伴旅行有其好处。故D选项“但结伴旅行也有好处”符合语境，与前文“Traveling alone gives you the freedom to create your own schedule and do as you please.(独自旅行可以让你自由地制定自己的时间表，随心所欲)”所讲的独自旅行的好处形成转折关系，故选D。
39．根据后文“Traveling should be fun. When you are on a trip, you will want to do lots of activities that you enjoy. Preferably, your companion will want to do the same things as you.(旅行应该是有趣的。当你在旅行时，你会想要做很多你喜欢的活动。最好，你的伴侣会想做和你一样的事情)”可知，后文提到有共同兴趣的人才会想和你做同样的事情，所以本句是在建议要寻找有共同兴趣的人，故A选项“找一个有共同兴趣的人”符合语境，故选A。
40．根据后文“You don’t want to be planning an expensive getaway when your friend is looking for budget travel.(当你的朋友正在寻找穷游的时候，你肯定不想计划一次昂贵的旅行)”可知，后文提到朋友想穷游，你就不能计划昂贵的旅行，可见两人金钱观要一致，所以选择旅行伙伴时，要确保你们的金钱观相同，也就是消费能力相近。故E选项“确保你们在金钱问题上达成一致”符合语境，故选E。
41．根据上文“Have an honest conversation. If you are thinking about traveling with a companion, take some time to have an open discussion. Schedule a time to sit down and talk. Try saying, “I know we’ve talked about the idea of traveling through Europe together. Let’s have a coffee this week and actually talk that through.”(进行一次诚实的对话。如果你考虑结伴旅行，那就花点时间开诚布公地讨论一下。安排一个时间坐下来谈谈。试着说：“我知道我们已经讨论过一起去欧洲旅行的想法。这周我们一起喝杯咖啡，好好谈谈这个问题。”)”以及后文“You should also talk about your travel style.(你们还应该谈谈你们的旅行风格)”可知，本段中作者的建议花点时间开展一场讨论，故本句是在建议讨论的内容，故B选项“你们应该讨论一下旅行的目标”符合语境，故选B。
42．根据后文“Maybe it will rain on the day you planned to visit the Grand Canyon. Or you might not be able to get reservations at that French restaurant you’ve been dying to try. (也许你计划去大峡谷的那天会下雨。又或者，你一直想去的那家法国餐厅可能订不到位子)”可知，后文提到因为也许天公不作美，当你想去大峡谷旅行时却下雨了，表明无论你多么小心地计划你的旅行，都很可能会出错。故G选项“不管你把旅行计划得多么仔细，还是有可能出差错”符合语境，故选G。
43．B 44．A 45．B 46．C 47．D 48．A 49．B 50．C 51．A 52．D 53．C 54．D 55．A 56．B 57．C 58．D 59．A 60．C 61．D 62．B

74．参考范文
One possible version:
“One minute left?” I exclaimed. Everybody looked at me weirdly. I looked down, feeling ashamed. But I had to finish the paper. I tried to ignore everything and continue writing. One more word, I said to myself, come on. Just like this, I forced myself to concentrate and willed my hand to scribble whatever that popped up on my mind. “Time’s up! Put your pens down. Please hand in your test paper to me in the front.” the teacher announced. I finished! I put down my pen, breathing a sigh of relief, and then I stood up and limped towards the teacher to hand it in-my legs felt like noodles, thanks to the extreme tension.
A week later, the teacher handed the papers back to us. It was the time for truth! I folded my paper and held it tightly in my hands, shilly-shallying about whether to check the result in front of my classmates. Finally I decided I should face my fate bravely and unfolded it. It was an “A”! I could not believe my eyes. How could it be? It was the first time in my life that I had got an “A”. I turned to look at my teacher. Our eyes met. She nodded and gave me a big smile! At that point, I made a firm resolution: I’d be more hard-working and more confident, so that I wouldn’t be stuck and panic like this again in high school.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在考场上再一次感到非常焦虑恐慌，害怕自己不及格让父母失望，经过一系列心理斗争强迫让自己平静下来继续答卷的故事。
