“Gd mrning, everyne. Gd mrning.” It’s 5:30 a. m. , and a speaker-annuncement jlts me awake frm a dead sleep. “We have abut 20 r s humpback whales utside ur ship.”
I launch myself ut f bed, darting ut f my cabin and up t a viewing deck. There they are, arching their knbby drsal fins gracefully abve the water and casting their flukes int the crisp mrning air befre taking a shallw dive. Shrtly after, the sunrise annunces itself. Then, icebergs appear ut f the mist.
“I can’t believe I’m here,” I think. “I can’t believe I’m in Greenland.”
I’m n a 12-day expeditin cruise abard Lindblad Expeditins’ Natinal Gegraphic Endurance, a small bat utfitted with landing craft. Our jurney will take us alng the thin strip f the “green” in Greenland n its suthwest cast — frm the pst-glacial landscape in Kangerlussuaq in the Arctic Circle, t the tidewater glaciers f Ikerasassuaq — all the way t Iceland. Expeditin cruises are the chice f adventurus, nature-lving and sustainability minded passengers wh want t visit remte places, while als having a luxury experience. The lcatins f these expeditins are ften threatened by climate change.
But burning fssil fuels t visit threatened envirnments definitely feels irnic. As a travel writer, I’m cnstantly wrestling with questins such as: Shuld we be travelling t endangered landscapes at all? Can it even be dne sustainably? What is at stake if we dn’t travel?
As the saying ges: “Turism is like a fire. Yu can either ck yur fd with it, r burn yur huse dwn.”
If I’m being hnest, at least part f my mtivatin t g t these places is t see them nw as they are nw — befre they’re irreversibly changed r gne. I’m nt alne in this.
Once a pstdc and research scientist at the University f Michigan, Kurt Hillig takes phts f everything frm flwers t glaciers alng the way. Recrd keeping. “This is here nw and I’m here nw,” he says. “I’m trying t capture it befre it disappears, s I can share it with ther peple shw them this is what the wrld culd have been, if we hadn’t been s driven by prfit instead f pleasure.”
1．In paragraph 2, the underlined “they” refer t ________.
A．the icebergs.B．the drsal fins.C．ther passengers.D．humpback whales.
2．Why did the authr and Kurt Hillig bard the expeditin cruise t Iceland?
A．T relax themselves in a luxurius way.
B．T see and dcument the endangered landscapes.
C．T d research wrk n the remte threatened envirnments.
D．T witness the breathtaking sight f humpback whales and icebergs.
3．What attitude des the authr hld twards this travel?
A．Excited.B．Astnished.C．Regretful.D．Reflective.
4．The best title fr the passage is ________.
A．Last-Chance TurismB．A Sustainable Expeditin
C．Escaping t Endangered PlacesD．Risky Adventures: The Last Frntier
【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．A
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。本文主要讲述了作者乘坐探险游轮前往冰岛，途中看到了濒危的座头鲸和冰山，由此引发了作者对于“末日旅游”的思考。作者认为，在濒危之地被彻底改变或消失之前，见证这些美景是非常有意义的。
1．词句猜测题。根据第一段中“We have abut 20 r s humpback whales utside ur ship(我们船外有大约20头座头鲸)”以及第二段“…, arching their knbby drsal fins gracefully abve the water and casting their flukes int the crisp mrning air befre taking a shallw dive.(……优雅地将它们凹凸不平的背鳍弓起在水面之上，在潜入浅滩之前，将它们的尾鳍甩向清新的早晨空气中)”可知，此处they指代上文提到的“humpback whales（座头鲸）”，此处指座头鲸在水面优雅地活动。故选D项。
2．细节理解题。根据第四段“Expeditin cruises are the chice f adventurus, nature-lving and sustainability-minded passengers wh want t visit remte places, while als having a luxury experience. The lcatins f these expeditins are ften threatened by climate change.(探险巡航是那些爱冒险、热爱大自然、注重可持续发展的乘客的选择，他们想参观偏远的地方，同时也想体验奢华之旅。这些探险的地点经常受到气候变化的威胁)”以及第七段“If I’m being hnest, at least part f my mtivatin t g t these places is t see them nw as they are nw —befre they’re irreversibly changed r gne. I’m nt alne in this. (如果我诚实地说，我之所以去这些地方，至少有一部分原因是想看看它们现在的样子——在它们被不可逆转地改变或消失之前。我不是唯一有这种想法的人)”以及第八段“I’m trying t capture it befre it disappears, s I can share it with ther peple shw them this is what the wrld culd have been, if we hadn’t been s driven by prfit instead f pleasure.”(我想在它消失之前捕捉到它，这样我就可以把它分享给其他人，告诉他们，如果我们没有被利润驱使而不是快乐的话，这个世界可能就是这个样子)”可知，作者和Kurt Hillig乘坐探险游轮前往冰岛是为了看到并记录这些濒危的景观，在它们消失之前去记录它们并分享世界本来的样子给他人。故选B项。
3．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“But burning fssil fuels t visit threatened envirnments definitely feels irnic.(但燃烧化石燃料去参观受到威胁的环境确实让人感到讽刺)”及“Shuld we be travelling t endangered landscapes at all? Can it even be dne sustainably? What is at stake if we dn’t travel?(我们是否应该去旅行这些濒危的景观呢？这样做能持续发展吗？如果我们不去旅行，有什么风险？)”可知，作者对这次旅行持有反思的态度，反思的人类的行为。故选D项。
4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其最后一段“I’m trying t capture it befre it disappears, s I can share it with ther peple shw them this is what the wrld culd have been, if we hadn’t been s driven by prfit instead f pleasure.”(我正在尝试在它消失之前捕捉到这些画面，这样我就可以与其他人分享，向他们展示如果我们不是如此追求利润而是追求快乐，世界本可能是什么样子。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者和Kurt Hillig的“末日旅游”，他们想在濒危之地被彻底改变或消失之前，见证这些濒危之地的美景。由此可知，A选项“Last-Chance Turism(末日旅游)”最符合文章标题。故选A项。

Sil cnservatin methds help farmers prtect their land frm the damage caused by farming and the frces f nature. One methd f sil cnservatin is the use f windbreaks. Windbreaks are barriers frmed by trees and ther plants. 12
Windbreaks help prevent the lss f sil. They stp the wind frm blwing sil away. They als keep the wind frm damaging r destrying crps. Windbreaks can be highly valuable fr prtecting grain crps. Fr example, studies have been dne n windbreaks in parts f West Africa. These studies fund that grain harvests were as much as twenty percent higher in fields prtected by windbreaks cmpared t fields withut them.
13 They seem t wrk best when they allw sme wind t pass thrugh the barrier f trees r plants arund a field. If nt, then the mvement f air clse t the grund will lift the sil. Then the sil will be blwn away.
Fr this reasn, a windbreak wrks best if it cntains nly sixty t eighty percent f the trees and plants that wuld be needed t make a slid line. An easy rule t remember is that windbreaks can prtect areas up t ten times the height f the tallest trees in the windbreak.
There shuld be at least tw lines in each windbreak. 14 The secnd line, right next t it, can be shrter trees and ther plants with leaves. Lcally grwn trees and plants are cnsidered the best chices fr windbreaks.
Windbreaks nt nly prtect land and crps frm the wind. Surplus trees can be cut dwn and used r sld fr wd.
Trees reduce the damaging effects f wind and rain. Their rts help prtect sil frm being washed away. And trees can prvide anther valuable service fr agriculture. 15

12．根据上文“Windbreaks are barriers frmed by trees and ther plants.(防风林是由树木和其他植物形成的屏障)”可知，上文提到了防风林的概念，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文。选项B“农民在田地周围种植这些障碍物”符合语境，介绍了防风林通常出现在哪儿，故选B。
13．根据后文“They seem t wrk best when they allw sme wind t pass thrugh the barrier f trees r plants arund a field. If nt, then the mvement f air clse t the grund will lift the sil. Then the sil will be blwn away.(当它们允许一些风穿过田地周围树木或植物的屏障时，它们似乎效果最好。如果不是，那么靠近地面的空气运动将抬升土壤。然后土壤就会被吹走)”可知，后文提到允许风穿过屏障的效果最好，可知是在介绍防风林原理的一些相关知识。故选项D“但这里有一些关于防风林的有趣之处”可以反映本段的主题，介绍一些关于防风林的有趣之处，故选D。
14．根据上文“There shuld be at least tw lines in each windbreak.(每个防风林至少要有两行)”以及后句后文“The secnd line, right next t it, can be shrter trees and ther plants with leaves.(第二行，就在它旁边，可以是较矮的树和其他有叶子的植物)”可知，上文提到防风林有两行，后文提到了第二行，可知本句是在说明第一行。故选项C“一行应该是大树”符合语境，介绍防风林的构成，故选C。
15．根据上文“Trees reduce the damaging effects f wind and rain. Their rts help prtect sil frm being washed away. And trees can prvide anther valuable service fr agriculture.(树木减少了风和雨的破坏性影响。它们的根有助于保护土壤不被冲走。树木可以为农业提供另一种有价值的服务)”可知，本句承接上文，说明树木提供的另一种有价值的服务具体是什么。故选项F“它们可以为放牧动物提供遮阳处”可以承接上文，介绍树木的另一个作用，故选F。

The turning pint f my life was my decisin t give up a prmising business career and study music. My parents, althugh sympathetic, and sharing my lve f music, disapprved f it as a prfessin. This was understandable in view f the family backgrund. My grandfather had taught music fr nearly frty years. Thugh much respected in the cmmunity, he earned barely enugh t prvide fr his large family. As a cnsequence f this example in the family, the very mentin f music as a prfessin carried with it a picture f a risky existence with uncertain financial rewards. My parents insisted n cllege instead f a cnservatry f music and t cllege I went — quite happily, as I remember, fr althugh I lved my vilin and spent mst f my spare time practicing, I had many ther interests.
Befre my graduatin, the family met with severe financial reverses and I felt it my duty t leave cllege and take a jb. Thus I launched upn a business career — which I always think f as the wasted years.

I resigned frm my psitin and, feeling like a man released frm jail, sailed fr the wrld f music. I stayed in Eurpe fr fur years and enjyed every minute f it.
“Enjyed” is t mild a wrd. I walked n air. I really lived. I was a free man and I was ding what I lved t d and what I was meant t d.
If I had stayed in business, I might be a cmparatively wealthy man tday, but I d nt believe I wuld have made a success f living. I wuld have given up all thse inner satisfactins that mney can never buy.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一直希望学习音乐，但是由于家中的财务情况没能实现，后来作者攒够了钱终于到欧洲区学习音乐，实现了自己的理想，作者通过这篇文章告诉我们要跟随自己内心的声音。
1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“My parents, althugh sympathetic, and sharing my lve f music, disapprved f it as a prfessin. This was understandable in view f the family backgrund.(我的父母虽然同情我，也和我一样热爱音乐，但他们不赞成把音乐作为一种职业。考虑到他的家庭背景，这是可以理解的)”可知，父母对于不能帮助作者实现梦想是感到遗憾的。故选C项。
2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Befre my graduatin, the family met with severe financial reverses and I felt it my duty t leave cllege and take a jb. Thus I launched upn a business career — which I always think f as the wasted years.(在我毕业之前，家里遇到了严重的经济困难，我觉得我有责任离开大学找一份工作。于是，我开始了自己的商业生涯——我一直认为这是虚度的岁月)”可知，作者开始经商的原因是他的家庭遇到了严重的财务危机。故选A项。

It is a cmmn miscnceptin that gelgy is “just” abut rcks. True, gelgists are trained t read what rcks tell us abut Earth’s past, present and pssible future structure and evlutin. But, as I will explain as part f this year’s Ryal Institutin Christmas Lectures, gelgical prcesses and climate are clsely linked.
Numerus cmplex physical and chemical links and feedbacks exist between Earth’s surface and subsurface rcks, its atmsphere, ceans and ice caps and life in all these places. Vlcanic eruptins bring carbn frm deep within the planet t the surface and the air, enhancing the green-huse effect. In cntrast, weathering f expsed rcks at the surface and the actin f shell-frming animals in the ceans remve carbn dixide frm the atmsphere, reducing glbal warming.
The rcks and fssils (化石) in the gelgical recrd bear witness t these prcesses, shwing us that Earth’s climate has changed cntinually since the planet frmed arund 4.6 millin years ag. This same recrd als shws that atmspheric CO2 is at its highest level in at least the past 3 millin years, and that the current pace f planetary warming is never befre seen in Earth’s histry.
The gelgical recrd can als be used t assess the accuracy f cmplex numerical mdels used t predict future climate and its impact n Earth’s habitability. Gelgy has imprved ur understanding f glbal warming and hpefully will help us t reduce it.
There is an irny t that, given gelgists play a rle in lcating and expliting climate-heating fssil fuels. Nw, mre than ever, ur discipline needs t fully adpt the cncept f “sustainable gescience”.
This isn’t a new idea and nr is it limited t climate change. The many and varied histrical cntributins f gelgy t tackling sme f ur greatest scietal challenges can be seen by lking at the United Natins Sustainable Develpment Gals. T name just a cuple f examples, gelgists study the rigin, natural transprtatin and behaviur f pllutants like arsenic and lead, critical t the prvisin f safe and reliable water supplies, and they explre the rigin f natural hazards such as landslides and earthquakes, and s help strengthen cmmunities acrss the wrld.
But gelgists must reduble their engagement with ther scientists and pliticians t develp and ultimately help apply slutins t the many envirnmental and resurce challenges we face. Students f gelgy shuld be made aware f the brader cntributins their multidisciplinary skill set can make t glbal well-being, beynd just energy prvisin — althugh ensuring energy supply, we shuld nt frget, underpins many f the Sustainable Develpment Gals.
8．The examples f vlcanic eruptins and the weathering f rcks are intended t _____.
A．demnstrate what gelgical activities gelgists mainly study
B．highlight the imprtance f studying vlcanic activity in gelgy
C．illustrate the enrmus and destructive pwer f gelgical prcesses
D．shw the dynamic interactins between gelgical activities and climate
9．In the sentence “There is an irny t that”, the irny refers t _____.
A．the prfessin’s rle in bth causing and slving glbal warming
B．sustainable gescience’s unexpected ppularity acrss varius fields
C．the disagreement between gelgical recrds and current climate mdels
D．gelgists’ fcus n energy prvisin which ges against their riginal gal
10．Which f the fllwing can be inferred frm the passage?
A．Energy supply is in critical shrtage.
B．Gelgists are able t wrk acrss varius fields.
C．Pllutants spread far and wide due t mdern transprtatin.
D．Fssil fuel explitatin des nt cntribute t climate change.
11．What is the main pint the authr is making in the passage?
A．Gelgists primarily study rcks t understand Earth’s climate.
B．Climate mdels are ften inaccurate withut the gelgical recrd.
C．Gelgy is crucial fr addressing glbal challenges beynd the study f rcks.
D．The field f gelgy fcuses n expliting fssil fuels and studying climate change.

Cllege rankings are misleading. S why d we still use them?
Many high schl senirs have been pening emails ver the past weeks that tell them whether they gt int the clleges f their chice. 12
A math prfessr at Clumbia University is challenging the data that the Ivy League schl reprted t U. S. News & Wrld Reprt , which earned it the N. 2 ranking this year. A cuple f weeks ag, in what must be the granddaddy f fake-data scandals, the fired dean f Temple University’s business schl received a 14-mnth sentence after he was cnvicted in federal curt f sending fake infrmatin t U. S. News & Wrld Reprt t bst the schl’s prestige. Claremnt McKenna Cllege, The Gerge Washingtn University and many ther schls have als tweaked data t bst rankings.
13 The prblem is the rankings themselves. They can be a cunterprductive way fr families t pick schls. Prbably few cllege applicants are aware that the single biggest factr U. S. News uses t rank schls is their reputatin amng fficials at ther clleges, wh might r might nt have deep knwledge f the schls. That accunts fr 20% f the scre.
The secnd biggest factr is six-year graduatin rates. But since lw-incme students are far less likely t graduate within that time perid - r ever - than middle-class students, this is mre an indicatin f student affluence than academic excellence. 14
U. S. News had made sme psitive changes in recent years. It drpped student acceptance rate as ne f the criteria, which had led clleges t heavily market t students even if they had almst n chance f acceptance. 15 The rankings use alumni dnatins as a prxy (指标) fr students’ happiness with their schl. That’s a pretty meager way t measure satisfactin.
What mst high schl students and parents really need t knw is whether a cllege ffers a rich chice f curses with gd instructrs; whether graduates will leave with a lad f debt; whether students will feel cmfrtable and engaged n campus; and whether they’ll be prepared fr a fulfilling career.
【答案】12．F 13．A 14．B 15．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是大学排名是有误导性，分析了大学排名的依据以及存在的问题。
12．分析语篇可知，此空应是引出本文的话题，根据空前的“Many high schl senirs have been pening emails ver the past weeks that tell them whether they gt int the clleges f their chice.(在过去的几周里，许多高中毕业生都在打开电子邮件，询问他们是否进入了自己选择的大学。)”可知，很多学生在使用电子邮件查询自己是否进入了自己选择的大学，F选项“Even as they d s, the criticisms f published cllege rankings that may have guided their preferences are increasing.(即使在他们这样做的同时，对公布的大学排名的批评也在增加，这些排名可能引导了他们的偏好。)”中的they指代的内容与空前的Many high schl senirs一致，且引出本文讲述的大学排名的话题。故选F项。
13．根据上段中的“Claremnt McKenna Cllege, The Gerge Washingtn University and many ther schls have als tweaked data t bst rankings.(克莱蒙特麦肯纳学院(Claremnt McKenna Cllege)、乔治华盛顿大学(Gerge Washingtn University)和许多其他学校也调整了数据以提高排名。)”可知，很多大学通过调整数据，改变大学排名，根据空后的“The prblem is the rankings themselves.(问题在于排名本身。)”可知，此处讲述的是人们使用大学排名的问题出在哪里，此处指的是问题出在排名自身，分析语篇可知，此空应起到承上启下的作用，A选项“But the ultimate issue with the rankings desn’t lie with the cheaters.(但排名的最终问题并不在于作弊者。)”中的the cheaters指的是上段中“A cuple f weeks ag, in what must be the granddaddy f fake-data scandals, the fired dean f Temple University’s business schl received a 14-mnth sentence after he was cnvicted in federal curt f sending fake infrmatin t U. S. News & Wrld Reprt t bst the schl’s prestige. (几周前，坦普尔大学商学院院长因向《美国新闻与世界报道》发送虚假信息以提高该校声誉而在联邦法院被判有罪，他被判14个月监禁，这一定是虚假数据丑闻的鼻祖。)”的内容，且选项中the ultimate issue与空后的the prblem相对应，起到了承上启下的作用。故选A项。
14．根据本段的主题句“The secnd biggest factr is six-year graduatin rates.(第二大因素是六年毕业率。)”可知，大学的毕业率影响大学的排名，B选项“In fact, it can have the unacceptable effect f discuraging cllege frm accepting mre lw-incme students, lest it wrsen their graduatin rates.(事实上，它可能会产生不可接受的影响，使大学不愿招收更多低收入家庭的学生，以免他们的毕业率下降。)”中讲述的内容为大学不愿意招收低收入家庭的学生，担心影响他们的毕业率，与本文主题一致。故选B项。
15．根据空前的“It drpped student acceptance rate as ne f the criteria, which had led clleges t heavily market t students even if they had almst n chance f acceptance.(它取消了学生录取率的标准之一，这导致大学在几乎没有被录取机会的情况下也大力向学生推销。)”可知，此处讲述的是取消大学录取率的评价标准，这是对大学排名做出的调整，根据空后的“The rankings use alumni dnatins as a prxy (指标) fr students’ happiness with their schl. That’s a pretty meager way t measure satisfactin.(该排名以校友捐款作为衡量学生对学校满意度的指标。)”可知，大学排名使用校友捐款作为衡量对学校满意度的标准，由此可知，此空处应应为过渡内容，D选项“But many ther factrs used in ranking the schls still have little meaning t a student’s experience.(但是在学校排名中使用的许多其他因素对学生的经历仍然没有什么意义。)”中的but表明，此空处与空前内容为转折关系，且与空后大学排名的其他因素（使用校友捐款）的内容吻合。故选D项。
