Ida Nelsn was relaxing herself in her sister’s sauna (桑拿室) when she heard the sund f a small airplane circling the nearby airprt.
It was 11: 30 at night in a remte village with a ppulatin f 70, and, as she tld the newspaper reprter, Any time a plane flies ver that late, yu knw smething is wrng. Nelsn and her sister leaped ut f the sauna, ran t the windw, and saw the prblem-the airprt’s runway lights were ut. Nelsn threw n sme clthes, jumped int her jeep, and flred it t the airprt, where she fund a lcal pilt trying t turn n the lights manually.
Nrmally, if yu push the buttn 10 r 15 times, the lights will just light up, Nelsn tld the reprter. Nt this time. Meanwhile, she and the pilt learned f the plane’s exigentmissin - it was a helicpter there t transprt a seriusly ill lcal girl, t the nearest hspital, 280 miles away in anther city.
Nelsn had a plan. Driving her jeep t the end f the runway, she shne her headlights n the rad fr the plane t fllw. Great idea, but it wasn’t enugh. Mre light was needed s a neighbr called nearly every hme in the village 32 f them.
Within 20 minutes, 20 vehicles arrived at the airprt, many f the drivers still in pajamas. Fllwing directins frm the helicpter pilt, the cars lined up n ne side f the runway. The helicpter made its final apprach and, guided by the headlights, landed safely. The yung patient was laded nt the aircraft, and the plane immediately tk ff again Her illness was never publicly knwn, but she has since been recvered.
Withut them, the girl might nt have made it. Hwever, fr Nelsn, it was nly a small deed.

All human languages use vwels and cnsnants t express ideas. Mst primates (灵长类) cmmunicate almst using vwel-like calls, but nn-human great apes, like chimpanzees, prduce cnsnant-like sunds t varying degrees, This raises the questin f where cnsnants came frm, says Adrian Lameira at the University f Warwick. T find it ut, he studied existing literature t see hw cmmn cnsnants are amng the great apes.
He fund that rangutans (猩猩), which spend mst f their time in the trees: prduce a greater number and variety f cnsnant sunds than grillas and chimpanzees living. n the grund. “Orangutans have rich sunds like kiss sunds, scrapes and clicks.” says Lameira. hey typically use these sunds while building nests r cmmencing with their yung.
Lameira thinks that living in the trees may explain that Great apes are experts at prcessing prtected fds. Like nuts, which ften requires tls. While living in trees hwever, rangutans must always use at least ne arm t maintain stability. They have therefre develped mre cmplex cntrl f their lips, tngues and jaws, allwing them t use their muths as a “fifth limb” rangutans can peel ranges just with lips, fr example.
This advanced mtr skill enables rangutans make cnsnant-like sunds, argues Lameira. This culd mean, that ur early ancestrs develped cnsnant sunds while hanging arund in the trees, t. “ There’s a grwing sense that ur dependency n trees was much larger and deeper than we think,” says Lameira.
The link between feeding and sunds desn’t apply t smaller tree-living primates like mnkeys, argues Lameira, because their size and tails make them mre stable n branches and they eat differently
“This is an interesting assumptin wrth testing,” says Chris Petkv at Newcastle University, thugh he questins sme aspects. As humans aren’t tree living, there must be ther reasns why cnsnants remain, which culd be tested by characterising cnsnant-like sunds mre systematically acrss species, he says
8. What des the underlined wrd “it” in paragraph 1 refer t?
A. Why vwels and cnsnants are used
B. What ideas the cnsnants express.
C. Hw cmmn the cnsnants are.
D. Where the cnsnants came frm
9. What fact can supprt Adrian Lamerica’s assumptin abut rangutans?
A. They build nests with their yung.
B. They are skillful in emplying tls
C. They gain advanced mtr skill f muths
D. They shw stability in cntrlling arms.
10. What can we infer frm Adrian Lameira’s findings?
A. Mnkeys differ frm rangutans in eating habits.
B. Our ancestrs depended mre n trees than believed.
C. Cnsnant sunds were made by ur earliest, ancestrs.
D. The link between feeding and sunds applies t mnkeys
11. What is Chris Petkv’s attitude t Adrian Lameira’s assumptin ?
A. CnfidentB. CautiusC. OppsedD. Puzzled
D
Peple wh sleep fewer than six hurs a night are mre likely t die early, researchers in University f Warwick have fund in a recent study. They discvered that peple wh slept fr less than six hurs each night were 12% mre likely t die befre the age f 65 than thse wh slept the recmmended six t eight hurs a night
The researchers pinted ut that previus studies had shwn that the lack f sleep was assciated with prblems like heart disease and high bld pressure. Hwever, the researchers als fund that sleeping t much was linked t an early death. Thse wh slept fr mre than nine hurs a night were 30% mre likely t die early, as an article in the latest Sleep suggested. That directly cntradicts anther passage in the same jurnal last mnth suggesting that peple wh slept fr ten hurs r lnger a night were mre likely t live t 100. This was thught t be because peple wh lived int extreme ld age were healthier and therefre slept better.
Hwever, the authrs f the latest research cntradicted this and suggested that lng sleep was a sign f underlying illnesses such as depressin and lw levels f physical activity. Prfessr Francesc Cappucci at the University f Warwick said: “While shrt sleep may represent a cause f ill-health, lng sleep is believed t represent mre an indicatr f ill – health.”
He als mentined: Mdern sciety has seen a gradual reductin in the average amunt f sleep peple take, and this pattern is mre cmmn amng full-time wrkers suggesting that it may be due t scial pressures fr lnger wrking hurs. On the ther hand, the wrsening f ur health is ften accmpanied by an extensin f ur sleeping time.”
Cnsistently sleeping six t eight hurs per night may be gd fr health. Hwever, whether t achieve the gal depends n varius factrs such as the envirnment as well as measures f public health aimed at favurable changes f the s wrking envirnments Prfessr Francesc Cappucci added.
12. What did researchers in University f Warwick find?
A. Six t eight hurs’ sleep can be apprpriate fr peple.
B. Peple at an ld age are healthier because they sleep lnger.
C. Peple wh sleep fewer than 6 hurs each night die befre 65.
D. Sleeping fr mre than 9 hurs a night des gd t ne’s health.
13. What is Prfessr Francesc Cappucci mst likely t agree with?
A. Hw lng we sleep depends n ur educatin
B. Our health becmes wrse because we sleep less
C. Mdern peple sleep less because they wrk lnger
D. Lng sleep is what causes ur health prblems
14. What did the researcher think may help peple have prper sleep?
A. Scial pressureB. Extensin f sleeping time.
C. Lnger wrking hursD. Changes f wrking envirnments.
15. What can be the best title fr this passage?
A. Time t Sleep earlyB. Hw Lng Shuld We Sleep
C. The Imprtance f SleepD. Lnger Sleep Makes Better Health

As a senir student in high schl, I cmmitted myself t active preparatin fr the upcming cllege entrance examinatin. My days were filled with studying textbks, practicing exam questins, and making cnstant revisins. It felt like I was ging thrugh the mtins, with the weight f pressure and expectatins weighing heavily n me. The atmsphere in ur class was charged with anxiety. Classmates gathered t. discuss study strategies and shared last-minute tips. Teachers prvided additinal classes and mck exams (模拟考试) t cpy real exam cnditins. Everyne desired t achieve their best in the exams t bst their cnfidence.
Last Thursday, a surprise exam was given t us. We were t cmplete all the fur tests in a single day, Chinese, Maths, English and the Sciences. We had been kept cmpletely in the dark abut the exam until the very last minute. Many classmates felt upset at taking it at such shrt ntice. As a veteran (I am repeating the last year f high schl), I was used t such a surprise as ur dear teachers had in stre fr us. It was n secret that many ther schls had already dne the tests. Therefre, it wuld be a piece f cake t get the answers nline.

When wrd came that the surprise exam was in place, Peter intended t cheat. He cmplained t me that he wuld be t wrn ut t cmplete all the fur tests in such a shrt time. He added “The exam is nt that vital. Many schlmates have gt the keys anyway.”
Hearing Peter s cmplaint, I gt extremely angry.

Ida Nelsn was relaxing herself in her sister’s sauna (桑拿室) when she heard the sund f a small airplane circling the nearby airprt.
It was 11: 30 at night in a remte village with a ppulatin f 70 and, as she tld the newspaper reprter, Any time a plane flies ver that late, yu knw smething is wrng. Nelsn and her sister leaped ut f the sauna, ran t the windw, and saw the prblem-the airprt’s runway lights were ut. Nelsn threw n sme clthes, jumped int her jeep, and flred it t the airprt, where she fund a lcal pilt trying t turn n the lights manually.
Nrmally, if yu push the buttn 10 r 15 times, the lights will just light up, Nelsn tld the reprter. Nt this time. Meanwhile, she and the pilt learned f the plane’s exigentmissin - it was a helicpter there t transprt a seriusly ill lcal girl, t the nearest hspital, 280 miles away in anther city.
Nelsn had a plan. Driving her jeep t the end f the runway, she shne her headlights n the rad fr the plane t fllw. Great idea, but it wasn’t enugh. Mre light was needed s a neighbr called nearly every hme in the village 32 f them.
Within 20 minutes, 20 vehicles arrived at the airprt, many f the drivers still in pajamas. Fllwing directins frm the helicpter pilt, the cars lined up n ne side f the runway. The helicpter made its final apprach and, guided by the headlights, landed safely. The yung patient was laded nt the aircraft, and the plane immediately tk ff again Her illness was never publicly knwn, but she has since been recvered.
Withut them, the girl might nt have made it. Hwever, fr Nelsn, it was nly a small deed.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了Ida Nelsn在晚上蒸桑拿时听见有飞机发出不正常的声音，出去后才发现机场跑道的灯灭了，导致一架空运救护飞机无法降落去救助一位病重的女孩，于是Ida Nelsn和周围的村民们用车灯指引飞机降落并起飞，最后小女孩得到医治并顺利出院，文章告诉我们有时候小举动汇集起来也能帮助解决困难。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Nelsn and her sister leaped ut f the sauna, ran t the windw, and saw the prblem-the airprt’s runway lights were ut. (Nelsn和她的妹妹跳出桑拿房，跑到窗前，看到了问题——机场跑道上的灯灭了)”和倒数第二段中“The helicpter made its final apprach and, guided by the headlights, landed safely.(直升机做了最后的降落，在前灯的指引下安全着陆)”可知，机场跑道的灯灭了，所以直升机无法在夜间找到跑道的位置。故选C。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后“it was a helicpter there t transprt a seriusly ill lcal girl, t the nearest hspital, 280 miles away in anther city. (这是一架直升机，用来运送一名重病的当地女孩，去280英里外的另一个城市最近的医院。)”可知，直升机的任务是用来运送一名重病的当地女孩，去280英里外的另一个城市最近的医院，因此该飞机执行的是很紧急的任务，故划线与D选项“urgent(紧急的，迫切的)”为同义词。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Nelsn had a plan. Driving her jeep t the end f the runway, she shne her headlights n the rad fr the plane t fllw. Great idea, but it wasn’t enugh. Mre light was needed s a neighbr called nearly every hme in the village 32 f them. (Nelsn有一个计划。她把吉普车开到跑道尽头，把车灯照在路上，让飞机跟着。好主意，但这还不够。因为需要更多的光线，所以一个邻居几乎给村里的每户人家打了电话——一共32户)”和第五段中“Within 20 minutes, 20 vehicles arrived at the airprt, many f the drivers still in pajamas. Fllwing directins frm the helicpter pilt, the cars lined up n ne side f the runway. The helicpter made its final apprach and, guided by the headlights, landed safely. (20分钟内，20辆车抵达机场，许多司机还穿着睡衣。按照直升机驾驶员的指示，汽车在跑道的一侧排成一排。直升机做了最后的降落，在前灯的指引下安全着陆。)”可知，Nelsn想出在跑道上闪耀车灯来指引直升机降落的主意，并和众多邻居一起使得直升机安全降落，故是Nelsn这个有创意的想法和责任心使得直升机安全降落。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Withut them, the girl might nt have made it. Hwever, fr Nelsn, it was nly a small deed. (如果没有他们，这个女孩可能不会成功。然而，对Nelsn来说，这只是一件小事。)”可知，Nelsn的一个小小的举动阻止了一起事故同时也及时地拯救了一位女孩。故本文想要告诉我们小小的善举也会产生重大影响。故选C。
C
All human languages use vwels and cnsnants t express ideas. Mst primates (灵长类) cmmunicate almst using vwel-like calls, but nn-human great apes, like chimpanzees, prduce cnsnant-like sunds t varying degrees, This raises the questin f where cnsnants came frm, says Adrian Lameira at the University f Warwick. T find it ut, he studied existing literature t see hw cmmn cnsnants are amng the great apes.
He fund that rangutans (猩猩), which spend mst f their time in the trees: prduce a greater number and variety f cnsnant sunds than grillas and chimpanzees living. n the grund. “Orangutans have rich sunds like kiss sunds, scrapes and clicks.” says Lameira. hey typically use these sunds while building nests r cmmencing with their yung.
Lameira thinks that living in the trees may explain that Great apes are experts at prcessing prtected fds. Like nuts, which ften requires tls. While living in trees hwever, rangutans must always use at least ne arm t maintain stability. They have therefre develped mre cmplex cntrl f their lips, tngues and jaws, allwing them t use their muths as a “fifth limb” rangutans can peel ranges just with lips, fr example.
This advanced mtr skill enables rangutans make cnsnant-like sunds, argues Lameira. This culd mean, that ur early ancestrs develped cnsnant sunds while hanging arund in the trees, t. “ There’s a grwing sense that ur dependency n trees was much larger and deeper than we think,” says Lameira.
The link between feeding and sunds desn’t apply t smaller tree-living primates like mnkeys, argues Lameira, because their size and tails make them mre stable n branches and they eat differently
“This is an interesting assumptin wrth testing,” says Chris Petkv at Newcastle University, thugh he questins sme aspects. As humans aren’t tree living, there must be ther reasns why cnsnants remain, which culd be tested by characterising cnsnant-like sunds mre systematically acrss species, he says
8. What des the underlined wrd “it” in paragraph 1 refer t?
A. Why vwels and cnsnants are used
B. What ideas the cnsnants express.
C. Hw cmmn the cnsnants are.
D. Where the cnsnants came frm
9. What fact can supprt Adrian Lamerica’s assumptin abut rangutans?
A. They build nests with their yung.
B. They are skillful in emplying tls
C. They gain advanced mtr skill f muths
D. They shw stability in cntrlling arms.
10. What can we infer frm Adrian Lameira’s findings?
A. Mnkeys differ frm rangutans in eating habits.
B. Our ancestrs depended mre n trees than believed.
C. Cnsnant sunds were made by ur earliest, ancestrs.
D. The link between feeding and sunds applies t mnkeys
11. What is Chris Petkv’s attitude t Adrian Lameira’s assumptin ?
A. CnfidentB. CautiusC. OppsedD. Puzzled

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是研究者发现大部分时间生活在树上的猩猩比生活在地面上的大猩猩和黑猩猩发出的辅音数量和种类都要多。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段的“This raises the questin f where cnsnants came frm(这就提出了辅音从何而来的问题)”和“he studied existing literature t see hw cmmn cnsnants are amng the great apes(他研究了现存的文献，想看看类人猿的辅音有多普遍)”可知，Adrian Lameira是为了发现辅音从何而来，it指的是“辅音来自哪里”，故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“While living in trees, hwever, rangutans must always use at least ne arm t maintain stability. They have therefre develped mre cmplex cntrl f their lips, tngues and jaws, allwing them t use their muths as a “fifth limb” rangutans can peel ranges just with lips, fr example.(然而，当生活在树上时，猩猩必须至少使用一只手臂来保持稳定。因此，它们已经发展出对嘴唇、舌头和下颚的更复杂的控制，使它们能够把嘴作为“第五肢”来使用，例如，猩猩只用嘴唇就能剥橙子。)”和第四段的“This advanced mtr skill enables rangutans make cnsnant-like sunds, argues Lameira.(拉米拉认为，这种先进的运动技能使猩猩能够发出类似辅音的声音。)”可知，支持Adrian Lameira关于猩猩的假设的是他们获得了高级的嘴巴运动技能，故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“This culd mean that ur early ancestrs develped cnsnant sunds while hanging arund in the trees, t. “There’s a grwing sense that ur dependency n trees was much larger and deeper than we think,” says Lameira.(这可能意味着我们的早期祖先在树上闲逛时也学会了辅音。Lameira说：“人们越来越意识到，我们对树木的依赖比我们想象的要大得多，也要深得多。”)”可知，从这项发现可知，我们的祖先比人们想象的更依赖树木，故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的““This is an interesting assumptin wrth testing,” says Chris Petkv at Newcastle University, thugh he questins sme aspects. As humans aren’t tree-living, there must be ther reasns why cnsnants remain, which culd be tested by characterising cnsnant-like sunds mre systematically acrss species, he says.(“这是一个值得检验的有趣假设，”Newcastle大学的Chris Petkv说，尽管他对某些方面提出了质疑。他说，由于人类不是在树上生活的，所以辅音保留下来一定有其他原因，这可以通过在不同物种之间更系统地描述类似辅音的声音来验证。)”可知，从Chris Petkv的评论可知，对Adrian Lameira的假设的态度是谨慎的，故选B。

Peple wh sleep fewer than six hurs a night are mre likely t die early, researchers in University f Warwick have fund in a recent study. They discvered that peple wh slept fr less than six hurs each night were 12% mre likely t die befre the age f 65 than thse wh slept the recmmended six t eight hurs a night
The researchers pinted ut that previus studies had shwn that the lack f sleep was assciated with prblems like heart disease and high bld pressure. Hwever, the researchers als fund that sleeping t much was linked t an early death. Thse wh slept fr mre than nine hurs a night were 30% mre likely t die early, as an article in the latest Sleep suggested. That directly cntradicts anther passage in the same jurnal last mnth suggesting that peple wh slept fr ten hurs r lnger a night were mre likely t live t 100. This was thught t be because peple wh lived int extreme ld age were healthier and therefre slept better.
Hwever, the authrs f the latest research cntradicted this and suggested that lng sleep was a sign f underlying illnesses such as depressin and lw levels f physical activity. Prfessr Francesc Cappucci at the University f Warwick said: “While shrt sleep may represent a cause f ill-health, lng sleep is believed t represent mre an indicatr f ill – health.”
He als mentined: Mdern sciety has seen a gradual reductin in the average amunt f sleep peple take, and this pattern is mre cmmn amng full-time wrkers suggesting that it may be due t scial pressures fr lnger wrking hurs. On the ther hand, the wrsening f ur health is ften accmpanied by an extensin f ur sleeping time.”
Cnsistently sleeping six t eight hurs per night may be gd fr health. Hwever, whether t achieve the gal depends n varius factrs such as the envirnment as well as measures f public health aimed at favurable changes f the s wrking envirnments Prfessr Francesc Cappucci added.
12. What did researchers in University f Warwick find?
ASix t eight hurs’ sleep can be apprpriate fr peple.
B. Peple at an ld age are healthier because they sleep lnger.
CPeple wh sleep fewer than 6 hurs each night die befre 65.
D. Sleeping fr mre than 9 hurs a night des gd t ne’s health.
13. What is Prfessr Francesc Cappucci mst likely t agree with?
A. Hw lng we sleep depends n ur educatin
B. Our health becmes wrse because we sleep less
C. Mdern peple sleep less because they wrk lnger
D. Lng sleep is what causes ur health prblems
14. What did the researcher think may help peple have prper sleep?
A. Scial pressureB. Extensin f sleeping time.
C. Lnger wrking hursD. Changes f wrking envirnments.
15. What can be the best title fr this passage?
A. Time t Sleep earlyB. Hw Lng Shuld We Sleep

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。华威大学的研究人员经过研究发现，每晚睡眠不足6小时的人死亡风险更大，每晚睡6至8小时最合适，而每晚睡10小时或更长时间的长睡眠则被认为更能代表健康不良的一个指标。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一中的“They discvered that peple wh slept fr les than six hurs each night were 12% mre likelyt die befre the age f 65 than thse wh slept the recmmended six t eight hurs a night.（他们发现，每晚睡眠时间少于6小时的人在65岁之前死亡的可能性比每晚睡眠时间达到建议的6至8小时的人高12%）”可知，研究者们发现，每晚睡眠不足6小时的人在65岁之前死亡的可能性比那些每晚睡足6至8小时的人高出12%。由此可推出，每晚睡足6至8小时是比较合适的。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Mdern sciety has seen a gradualreductin in the average amunt f sleep peple take,and this pattern is mre cmmn amng ful-time wrkers, suggesting that it may be due t scial pressures fr nger wrking hurs.（现代社会已经看到人们的平均睡眠时间逐渐减少，这种模式在全职工作者中更为常见，这表明这可能是由于更长工作时间的社会压力）”可知，Prfessr Francesc Cappucci认为睡眠不足在全职工作者中更为常见，这可能由于社会压力导致的长时间工作造成的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Cnsistently sleeping six t eight hurs per night may be gd fr health. Hwever, whethert achieve the gal depends n varius factrs such as the envirnment as well as measures f public health aimed at favurable changefthe wrking envirnments（每晚持续睡6到8小时可能对健康有益。然而，能否实现这一目标取决于各种因素，如环境以及旨在改善工作环境的公共卫生措施）”可知，能否实现每晚睡足6至8小时这个目标取决于环境的改变以及针对工作环境变化的公共卫生措施等多种因素。由此可知，工作环境的改变是帮助人们获得适当睡眠的方法之一。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段点明研究结果：每晚睡眠不足6小时的人在65岁之前死亡的可能性比那些每晚睡足6至8小时的人高出12%。下文针对这一研究结果，分析了导致这种结果的原因，解决方法等。故第一段是中心段，其余各段都以此为中心展开。故结合选项，B选项“我们应该睡多长时间”作为本文标题，与主题相符合。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在过去的25年里，南极洲40%以上的冰架已经减少，这可能会使更多的陆地冰流入海洋，从而加速海平面上升。文章还介绍了这一现象的原因可能和气候变化有关。
【16题详解】
下文“They play a critical rle in slwing the flw f ice n land int the cean by essentially acting as a wall and surrund nearly the entire castline f Antarctica.When ice shelves thin r retreat(消退), ice n the land can flw int the cean mre quickly and accelerate sea level rise. (它们在减缓陆地上的冰流入海洋方面发挥着关键作用，基本上起到了一堵墙的作用，几乎包围了南极洲的整个海岸线。它们在减缓陆地上的冰流入海洋方面发挥着关键作用，基本上就像一面墙，环绕着南极洲几乎整个海岸线。当冰架变薄或消退时，陆地上的冰可以更快地流入海洋，加速海平面上升)”说明了南极冰架的作用。空出引出下文，介绍什么是南极冰架。B项中的“Ice shelves”是下文They所指代的对象，说明冰架是从陆地冰川延伸出来的巨大漂浮冰块，他们起着重要的作用。故选B。
【17题详解】
上文“Healthy ice shelves naturally retreat and grw ver time. An ice shelf is cntinuusly flwing and advancing but will als lse mass thrugh melting r calving, which is when its frnt breaks ff int the cean.(健康的冰架会随着时间的推移自然后退和增长。冰架在不断地流动和前进，但也会因融化或崩解而失去质量，而崩解是冰架前缘断裂进入海洋的时候)”说明冰架是可以自然的消退和增长的。空处承接上文，表明冰架会融化或崩解，也会再次生长。A项中的“gain ice frm the land and grw again”和前文“naturally retreat and grw ver time”相呼应。A项“然后它可以获取冰，然后再次生长”符合语境。故选A。
【18题详解】
上文“Mst ice shelves in East Antarctica hwever, increased in vlume r stayed the same. (然而，南极东部大部分冰架的体积都在增加或保持不变)”以及下文“Regin is prtected by a band f cld water at the cast, which helps keep nearby warm water at bay. (这片区域受到海岸的一股冷水的保护，这有助于防止附近的温水进入)”说明南极东部大部分冰架的体积都在增加或保持不变是因为附近的温水没有进入。空处承接前文，说明南极东部大部分冰架的体积都在增加或保持不变的原因。C项“东部不像大陆的另一边那样暴露在温暖的海水中。”符合语境。故选C。
【19题详解】
上文“Even s, the study still shwed pckets f shrinking ice shelves, and researchers are still investigating the reasns. (即便如此，这项研究仍然显示了冰架缩小的区域，研究人员仍在调查原因)”说明研究人员在调查该区域冰架缩小的原因。空处承接上文，F项中的One thery 和前文的“investigating the reasns”相呼应，表明调查的一个原因可能是西区的暖水可能正慢慢进入该地区。故选F。
【20题详解】
上文“The current ice shelf data set is nt lng enugh fr researchers t definitively make climate change cnnectin yet, but it wuld be a ” remarkable cincidence if the natural variability in ice shelves were just that much larger. (目前的冰架数据集还不足以让研究人员明确地将气候变化联系起来，但如果冰架的自然变异性大得多，这将是一个“惊人的巧合”)”说明虽然数据还不足以明确的将冰架减少和气候变化联系起来，但是因为冰架的变化非常大，所以还是推测和气候变化有关。空处进一步表明这一观点。G项中的Additinally和前文是递进关系，表明人类也在气候模型的帮助下推测处气候变暖让冰架不断减少，最终会达到冰盖崩塌的临界点。G项“此外，气候模型预测，在观察到的全球变暖的情况下，冰架将稳步缩小，最终达到冰盖崩塌的临界点。”符合语境。故选G。

47. 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。
As a senir student in high schl, I cmmitted myself t active preparatin fr the upcming cllege entrance examinatin. My days were filled with studying textbks, practicing exam questins, and making cnstant revisins. It felt like I was ging thrugh the mtins, with the weight f pressure and expectatins weighing heavily n me. The atmsphere in ur class was charged with anxiety. Classmates gathered t. discuss study strategies and shared last-minute tips. Teachers prvided additinal classes and mck exams (模拟考试) t cpy real exam cnditins. Everyne desired t achieve their best in the exams t bst their cnfidence.
Last Thursday, a surprise exam was given t us. We were t cmplete all the fur tests in a single day, Chinese, Maths, English and the Sciences. We had been kept cmpletely in the dark abut the exam until the very last minute. Many classmates felt upset at taking it at such shrt ntice. As a veteran (I am repeating the last year f high schl), I was used t such a surprise as ur dear teachers had in stre fr us. It was n secret that many ther schls had already dne the tests. Therefre, it wuld be a piece f cake t get the answers nline.
This term I am paired with Peter by ur class directr in a tutr-pupil relatinship. I am the tutr (老师) ; Peter my pupil. We are suppsed t help each ther. Since I am mre experienced, I am expected t ffer tips and tricks t Peter n studies and life.
When wrd came that the surprise exam was in place, Peter intended t cheat. He cmplained t me that he wuld be t wrn ut t cmplete all the fur tests in such a shrt time. He added “The exam is nt that vital. Many schlmates have gt the keys anyway.”
Hearing Peter s cmplaint, I gt extremely angry.

The day came when the results were ut.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Hearing Peter’s cmplaint, I gt extremely angry. I criticised him mercilessly fr a while. I tld him that we shuld cherish each exam as an pprtunity t learn and imprve rather than treat it mindlessly. At this, Peter flushed. I culd see a lk f shame and embarrassment creeping acrss his face. I als asked Peter t be hnest and cnsistent thrughut the exam. Hpefully, his integrity wuld nt be cmprmised by external frces. Having listened t my instructins, Peter ndded repeatedly. He prmised that he wuld nt misbehave himself in the tests.
The day came when the results were ut. As usual, sme students were happy while thers were wrried. Strangely enugh, this time thse wh gt wrried included a cuple f classmates wh had made it t the very tp f the league table. They felt uneasy fr lack f a clear cnscience. Even thugh neither Peter nr I had earned impressive grades in the exam, we learned a lt frm it. The exam helped us t see nt nly where we were weak in ur lessns but als the imprtance f staying true t ur hearts.
