A
There exist a great variety of national parks that are representative of the different regions of the world. To reveal and maintain the great diversity of the interactions between humans and their environment, and to protect living cultures and preserve the traces (痕迹) of those which have disappeared, these sites have been included in the World Heritage List.
Lushan National Park, China
Mount Lushan, in Jiangxi, is one of the spiritual centres of Chinese civilization. Buddhist and Taoist temples, along with landmarks of Confucianism blend (融合) effortlessly into a strikingly beautiful landscape which has inspired countless artists who developed the aesthetic (美的) approach to nature found in Chinese culture. Special attention has been placed on protecting the cultural heritages and their settings as a whole.
Dinosaur Provincial Park, Canada
In addition to its particularly beautiful scenery, Dinosaur Provincial Park — located at the heart of the province of Alberta’s badlands — contains some of the most important fossil discoveries ever made from the “Age of Reptiles”, in particular about 35 species of dinosaur, dating back some 75 million years. These fossils are valuable materials for scientists to study the history of the earth.
Kaziranga National Park, India
In the heart of Assam, this park is one of the last areas in eastern India undisturbed by a human presence. It is inhabited by the world’s largest population of one-horned rhinoceroses, as well as many mammals, including tigers, elephants, panthers and bears, and thousands of birds.
Komodo National Park, Indonesia
These volcanic islands are inhabited by a population of around 5,700 giant lizards, whose appearance and attacking behaviour have led to them being called “Komodo dragons”. They exist nowhere else in the world and are of great interest to scientists studying the theory of evolution.
1. Why are these above parks included in the World Heritage List?
A. They are famous worldwide.
B. They have gorgeous landscape.
C. They are representative of the different regions.
D. They have important values and need protecting.

A few years ago, I stood in a small classroom just outside of New York City, watching a high schooler named Serena Stevenson answer math questions. An instructor read outnumbers — 74,470, 70,809, 98,402 — and Stevenson added them in her head. For each question, she closed her eyes, and then the fingers of her right hand began to move. She answered most of the problems correctly.
The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus. Stevenson used a practice called “mental abacus”, imagining the abacus in her mind and then using her fingers to work through the problems.
From watching Stevenson, I knew that gaining skill at the abacus was more than a matter of counting beads, so I decided to sign up for an abacus course with my two daughters to see if we could also improve our math skills. I was one of the many who had some math doubts and I felt a touch of fear. My typical solution was avoidance, and if I had to calculate something like a percentage change, I would go online.
Then after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice, math seemed a little less frightening. I didn’t become Euclid, the founder of geometry. But the practice brought my numerical fears down. This is a time-tested power of the abacus. Confidence grows easily in the device, and abacus students are less likely to be nervous about an upcoming math test, according to one study. Part of the reason, it seems, is that practice and outcomes appear to move in step.
My kids gained much as well. My youngest daughter could work out those math problems that once baffled her, while my older child brought her abacus to school to show it to her classmates and teacher. These were just small successes for them, but that was how they finally developed confidence.
4. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To prove the difficulty of math. B. To introduce the topic of the abacus.
C. To show the high intelligence of Stevenson. D. To stress the importance of abacus learning.
5. What do we know about the author from paragraph 3?
A. He was weak in math. B. He was good at computer.
C. He regarded math as useful. D. He had a close relationship with kids.
6. What does the author realize from his learning experience?
A. Knowledge starts with practice. B. It’s never too late to learn.
C. Faith can move mountains. D. Practice makes perfect.
7. What does the underlined word “baffled” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Bored. B. Inspired. C. Defeated. D. Interested.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了作者自己和孩子学习珠算的故事，得出了“熟能生巧”的道理。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“For each question, she closed her eyes, and then the fingers of her right hand began to move. She answered most of the problems correctly.(对于每一个问题，她都闭上眼睛，然后她右手的手指开始移动。她正确地回答了大部分问题)”以及第二段“The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus.(她成功的关键是一种叫做算盘的古老技术)”可推知，第一段的主要目的是引出算盘这个主题。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“From watching Stevenson, I knew that gaining skills on the abacus was more than a matter of counting beads, so I decided to sign up for an abacus course with my two daughters to see if we could also improve our math skills. I was one of the many who held some math doubts and I felt a touch of fear of math. My typical solution was avoidance, and if I had to calculate something like a percentage change, I would go online.(通过观察史蒂文森，我知道掌握珠算技能不仅仅是数珠子，所以我决定和我的两个女儿报名参加一个珠算课程，看看我们是否也能提高我们的数学技能。我是许多对数学有疑虑的人之一，我对数学有一丝恐惧。我的典型解决方案是回避，如果我必须计算一个百分比变化，我会上网)”可推知，作者的数学不好。故选A。
6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Then after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice, math seemed a little less frightening. I didn’t become Euclid, the founder of geometry. But the practice brought my numerical fears down. This is a time-tested power of the abacus.(经过几节算盘课和大量的练习，数学似乎没那么可怕了。我没有成为欧几里得，几何学的奠基人。但这种做法消除了我对数字的恐惧。这是一种久经考验的算盘的力量)”可推知，作者从他的学习经历中意识到熟能生巧。故选D。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“These were just small successes for them, but that was how they finally developed confidence.(对他们来说，这些只是小小的成功，但这就是她们最终建立自信的方式)”以及画线词上文“My kids gained much as well. My youngest daughter could work out those math problems that once baffled her (孩子们也从算盘中收获良多，最小的女儿也解开了曾经baffled自己的数学题)”可知，孩子们学算盘学的不错，获得成功，可得出最小的女儿也解开了曾经打败自己的数学题，故画线词意思是“打败”。故选C。
C
Great whites and whale sharks are among the species at risk of extinction over the next century, a new study has found.
Pimiento is the lead author of a study published in Science Advances that looks at how the extinction of large marine species would impact the ecological roles of ocean ecosystems. “The extinction crisis challenges scientists to better measure biodiversity: how will the total variety of life on Earth be affected as human activities lead to the losses of more and more species?” they said. In the oceans, the biggest animals are thought to play crucial ecological roles, and are also facing high levels of threat from human activities such as fisheries and climate change.
The team was looking to move beyond traditional species extinctions, to find out more about the functional diversity, the range of roles that these species perform, and how biodiversity might respond under different extinction scenarios. They ran two different extinction scenarios. In one, researchers looked at extinction probability based on their current IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) status. In the second, they assumed all species listed as threatened, around 40 percent, had gone extinct.
Sharks were found to be one of the worst affected groups. “We already knew that sharks are one of the most threatened groups in the ocean,” they said. “They are also very vulnerable due to their large size and low reproductive rate. Our results show that future extinctions would be selective against the most functionally unique and specialized shark species, resulting in greater projected losses.” They also said the biggest threats to marine megafauna are fishing, either through accidentally getting caught up or directly targeted, and climate change. Mitigating these threats could be the best way to protect these species.
The good news is that the study identifies key species that can be targeted and protected. Sometimes ocean conservation can be a triage game. The science helps us know which species really need our help and which species we really cannot afford to lose.
8. What is Pimiento’s study about?
A. The possible threats of large marine animals.
B. The main cause of the extinction crisis in the sea.
C. The ecological role of large animals in the ocean.
D. The best way of balancing biodiversity with human acts.
9. How did the team conduct its research?
A. By checking current data. B. By predicting extinction rates.
C. By measuring marine biodiversity. D. By analyzing traditional experiments.
10. What does the study’s result show?
A. The risk of sharks reproducing in the ocean. B. The solution to animals’ protection in the sea.
C. The influence of sharks’ extinction on the ocean. D. The reason for sharks being hit hardest in the sea.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the study?
A. Indifferent. B. Positive. C. Skeptical. D. Negative.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现，下个世纪，大白鲨和鲸鲨将面临灭绝的危险。文章介绍了这项研究开展的过程以及研究发现和重要意义。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Pimiento is the lead author of a study published in Science Advances that looks at how the extinction of large marine species would impact the ecological roles of ocean ecosystems.(Pimiento是发表在《科学进展》杂志上的一项研究的主要作者，该研究探讨了大型海洋物种的灭绝将如何影响海洋生态系统的生态角色)”可知，Pimiento的研究是关于海洋中大型动物的生态作用。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The team was looking to move beyond traditional species extinctions, to find out more about the functional diversity, the range of roles that these species perform, and how biodiversity might respond under different extinction scenarios. They ran two different extinction scenarios. In one, researchers looked at extinction probability based on their current IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) status. In the second, they assumed all species listed as threatened, around 40 percent, had gone extinct.(该团队希望超越传统物种灭绝，了解更多关于功能多样性的信息，这些物种所扮演的角色范围，以及生物多样性在不同的灭绝情景下可能做出的反应。他们设想了两种不同的灭绝情景。在一项研究中，研究人员根据它们目前在国际自然保护联盟的地位来研究它们灭绝的可能性。在第二种情况下，他们认为所有被列为受威胁的物种，大约40%，已经灭绝)”可知，这个团队通过预测物种灭绝率进行研究。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中““We already knew that sharks are one of the most threatened groups in the ocean,” they said. “They are also very vulnerable due to their large size and low reproductive rate. Our results show that future extinctions would be selective against the most functionally unique and specialized shark species, resulting in greater projected losses.”(“我们已经知道鲨鱼是海洋中最受威胁的群体之一，”他们说。“由于体型大，繁殖率低，它们也非常脆弱。我们的研究结果表明，未来的灭绝将选择性地针对功能最独特和专门的鲨鱼物种，导致更大的预计损失。”)”可知，研究结果表明鲨鱼在海里受害最严重的原因。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The good news is that the study identifies key species that can be targeted and protected. Sometimes ocean conservation can be a triage game. The science helps us know which species really need our help and which species we really cannot afford to lose.(好消息是，这项研究确定了可以作为目标和保护的关键物种。有时候，海洋保护就像是一个分诊游戏。科学帮助我们知道哪些物种真的需要我们的帮助，哪些物种我们真的不能失去)”可推知，作者对这项研究的态度是积极的。故选B。
D
Researches on the effects of bad news on mood suggest exposure to negative COVID news is likely to be harmful to our emotional wellbeing. These findings leave a few key questions unanswered. Does doomscrolling (keep searching for negative information on social media) make people unhappy, or are unhappy people just more likely to doomscroll? And what would happen if, instead of doomscrolling, we were “kindness scrolling” — reading about humanity’s positive responses to a global crisis?
To find out, researchers conducted a study related to it. People who were shown general COVID-related news experienced lower moods than people who were shown nothing at all. Meanwhile, people who were shown COVID news stories involving acts of kindness didn’t experience the same decline in mood, but also didn’t gain the boost in mood they’d predicted. These findings suggest that spending as little as two to four minutes consuming negative news about COVID-19 can have a harmful impact on our mood.
Although researchers didn’t see an improvement in mood among participants who were shown positive news stories involving acts of kindness, this may be because the stories were still related to COVID. In other research, general positive news stories have been associated with improvements in mood.
So what can we do to look after ourselves, and make our time on social media more pleasurable? One option is to delete our social media accounts altogether. But how realistic is it to distance ourselves from platforms that connect nearly half of the world’s population, particularly when these platforms offer social interactions at a time when face-to-face interactions can be risky, or impossible? It is better for us to find some other ways to make the experience on social media more positive. For example, be mindful of what you consume on social media, seek out content that makes you happy to balance out your newsfeed and use social media to promote positivity and kindness.
As the pandemic (大流行病) continues to change our lives and newsfeeds, let’s find some other steps to make our social media a happier place.
12. Which of the following may researchers probably agree with?
A. Doomscrolling makes people unhappy.
B. Kindness scrolling does good to our mood.
C. Good news about COVID-19 boosts mood.
D. Unhappy people are more likely to doomscroll.
13. Who underwent the most decline in mood?
A. Those shown no news at all.
B. Those shown acts of kindness about COVID.
C. Those shown general positive news not related to crisis.
D. Those spending four minutes consuming negative news about COVID.
14. What is the practical solution to making our time on social media more positive?
A. Don’t respond to others online.
B. Advocate proper behavior online.
C. Interact with people face to face.
D. Leave social media platform altogether.
15 What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To find out the effect of bad news.
B. To figure out the impact of COVID.
C. To introduce a study about doomscrolling.
D. To improve our experience on social media.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是在社交媒体上长时间接触一些负面新闻会对我们的情绪产生有害影响，所以作者呼吁我们寻找一些积极的方法，使得社交媒体变化成一个更加快乐的地方，从而提高我们的社交体验。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“People who were shown general COVID-related news experienced lower moods than people who were shown nothing at all.(观看与COVID相关的一般新闻的人比什么都没看的人情绪更低落。)”可知观看有关新冠新闻的人心情会更加低落，所以研究者们认为一直观看负面的消息会让人变得不开心。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“These findings suggest that spending as little as two to four minutes consuming negative news about COVID-19 can have a harmful impact on our mood.(这些研究结果表明，花2到4分钟观看有关COVID-19的负面新闻就会对我们的情绪产生有害影响。)”可知有关新冠病毒疾病的负面新闻可能会对情绪产生有害影响，所以那些花四分钟观看COVID负面新闻的人会经历最严重的情绪下降。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“It is better for us to find some other ways to make the experience on social media more positive. For example, be mindful of what you consume on social media, seek out content that makes you happy to balance out your newsfeed and use social media to promote positivity and kindness.(对我们来说，最好是找到一些其他的方法来让社交媒体上的体验更加积极。例如，注意你在社交媒体上观看的内容，寻找让你开心的内容来平衡你的新闻源，并使用社交媒体来促进积极和善良。)”可知我们要注意在社交媒体上的行为，寻找能让我们快乐的内容，并利用社交媒体来促进积极和善良，所以倡导正确的网络行为是让我们在社交媒体上的时间变得积极的有效解决方案。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“let’s find some other steps to make our social media a happier place.(让我们找到一些其他的方法，让我们的社交媒体成为一个更快乐的地方。)”可知作者的写作目的是呼吁我们找到一些途径使得社交媒体变化成一个更加快乐的地方，从而提升我们的体验。故选D项。

A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps, for there is a companionship of books as well as of men. ____16____
____17____ It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of difficulty. It always receives us with the same kindness, amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting us in age.
Men often discover their close relationship with each other by the love they have for a book.____18____ Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together and he, in them.
A good book is often the best urn(瓮)of a life holding the best that life could think out, for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which are remembered and cherished for ages.
Good books stand the test of time. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues vanish, but books survive. Great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds ages ago, won’t fade with time going by. ____19____
The only effects of time have been to filter out the bad products, for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.
Books introduce us into the best society. ____20____ We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we enjoy with them and grieve with them. Their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were actors with them in the scenes which they describe.
A. A good book may be among the best of friends.
B. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page.
C. Good books can charm readers of all ages.
D. But there is more wisdom in “love me, love my book.”
E. The book is a truer and higher bond of association.
F. They bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived.
G. And one should always live in the best company, whether it is a book or a man.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. E 19. B 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章阐述了通过一个人所读的书就能了解他这个人，并介绍了好书为什么能成为我们最好的陪伴。
【16题详解】
根据上文“A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps, for there is a companionship of books as well as of men.(通常看一个人所读的书就可知道他的为人，就像看他所结交的人就可知道他的为人一样，因为有人以人为伴，也有人以书为伴)”可知，书本和朋友一样反映着一个人的性格、为人等。 G项“And one should always live in the best company, whether it is a book or a man.(无论是书还是人，我们都应该以最好的为伴。)”强调了要慎重选择书和朋友，与上文意义一致，且G项中的“a book or a man”与上文中的“books he reads as well as…the company he keeps”呼应。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据下文“ It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. (它是最有耐心、最令人愉快的伴侣。)”可知，作者此处想表达书是最好的朋友。A项“A good book may be among the best of friends.(一本好书就像是一个最好的朋友。)”与下文意义一致，且下文中的“It”指代的就是A项中的“A good book”。故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Men often discover their close relationship with each other by the love they have for a book.(人们常常因为对一本书的热爱而发现彼此之间的亲密关系)”可知，人与人之间的关系会因为同一本书而加深。E项“The book is a truer and higher bond of association.(书是更真实、更高尚的联系纽带。)”是对上一句的具体解释，且E项中的“The book”指代上文中的“a book”，E项中的“a truer and higher bond of association”与上文“close relationship”呼应。故选E项。
【19题详解】
根据上文 “Great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds ages ago, won’t fade with time going by. (许多年前初次闪现在作者脑海里的伟大思想，今天依然鲜活如初，不会随着时间的流逝而褪色。)”可知书中的伟大思想经得起时间的考验。B项“What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page.(他们当时的言论和思想印在书页上，至今仍那么生动地向我们诉说。)”与上文意义一致，且B项中的“as vividly as”与上文“as fresh today as”呼应。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we enjoy with them and grieve with them.(我们听到他们说了什么，做了什么；我们看到他们就好像他们真的活着；我们与他们同甘共苦。)”可知，通过读书，我们仿佛回到了作者的时代，体验着他们的生活。F项“They bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived.(它们将我们带到历史上最伟大的人物面前。)”与下文意义一致。F项中“They”指代上一句中“Books”，且下文中的“they”指代的是F项中的“the greatest minds”。故选F项。

第二节 读后续写（共1题；满分25分）
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。
When I was little, I lived in a house with a beautiful garden full of all kinds of flowers, and roses were the most beautiful of them. There was nothing I enjoyed more than sitting in the garden with my mother as she read stories to me. When I was in primary school and old enough to read, I enjoyed reading stories aloud to her.
I will never forget one day when I was in the third grade. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed my lines so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s part to the play, and asked me to change roles. Her word, kindly expressed, still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home after school that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.
It was May and roses were blossoming and, under the trees, we could also see yellow dandelions in the grass, as if a painter had painted our garden with red, yellow and green. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling it up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.”
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower is beautiful in its own way, isn’t it?” She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.” Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled reassuringly.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said,

After the play, I took home the flower.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. “The narrator’s part is just as important as the part of a princess.” Her wise words inspired me with courage and confidence. But on the evening of the performance, I suddenly felt nervous backstage again. My teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give you this,” she said, handing me a dandelion. Looking at it, I knew my mother was out there for me, which calmed me down.
After the play, I took home the flower. My mother made it into a dried flower and put it into a glass bottle. Every time I see it, I am reminded of this unforgettable experience. I have taken part in many school plays, tried different roles and made many speeches ever since. Gradually, I’ve become really good at performing and public speaking, seldom feeling nervous onstage now. For this, I am forever grateful to my mother, who have made me what I am today.
