Weifang, Shandong province, will exempt(免除)senior middle school tuition fees for the third child in every family born after May 31, 2021, local officials announced on Tuesday at a news conference on optimizing policies encouraging families to have more children.
The tuition fee exemption is one of a series of measures released by the city to encourage the birthrate. Others include subsidies(补贴)for universal childcare services, house purchases and medical expenses for childbirth. The government is also optimizing pregnancy leave and encouraging employers to explore flexible working schedules for female workers.
The newly released measures have received a mixed response from the public with some welcoming the policy, while others say the tuition benefit is too little and too far off to make an impact. “Is the child able to study in a senior middle school if he or she didn’t pass the examination?” said one user mockingly on the Twitter-like platform Sina Weibo.
Cities in the province have been ramping up subsidies, and education and nursery care services to encourage families to have more children.
Shandong province, with a population of over 100 million people, in 2022 recorded its lowest birthrate since 1983. “To encourage the birthrate, the government need to pay attention to the needs of families with only one child instead of only providing subsidies for couples with two or three children. Whether young couples have a high willingness to have one more child depends mostly on their experience of raising the first child,” said Gao Ming, 35, a resident of Qingdao. She added that she didn’t want to have a second children, even if Qingdao took similar measures.
4. What benefits can a woman with a third child enjoy in Weifang?
A. The whole pregnancy leave and one-year maternal leave.
B. The promise of her third child’s admission to senior middle school.
C. Free tuition fees of her third child for senior middle school.
D. The house purchases with expenses fully covered by the government.
5. The underlined word “mockingly” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ?
A. jokingly B. alarmingly C. lovingly D. willingly
6. Why does the passage end with a quote from Gao Ming?
A. To present a fact. B. To illustrate a viewpoint.
C. To solve a problem. D. To make a comparison.
7. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?
A. Shandong witnessed its lowest birthrate in 2022.
B. More measures are introduced to boost childbirth.
C. Newly released measures caused different public responses.
D. Is it a blessing or a curse to have more children?
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了山东省为了鼓励出生率而出台的一系列政策和措施。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Weifang, Shandong province, will exempt(免除)senior middle school tuition fees for the third child in every family born after May 31, 2021, local officials announced on Tuesday at a news conference on optimizing policies encouraging families to have more children.”（周二，山东省潍坊市官员在一场关于优化鼓励家庭多生孩子政策的新闻发布会上宣布，2021年5月31日以后出生的家庭中，第三个孩子将免缴高中学费）可知，在潍坊，生第三胎的妇女可以享受第三个孩子免除高中的学费的福利。故选C项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中“Is the child able to study in a senior middle school if he or she didn’t pass the examination?”（如果孩子没有通过考试，他或她能上高中吗？）并结合常识可知，这是开玩笑的说法，由此猜测，划线单词mockingly为“取笑地，开玩笑地”意思，结合选项A项jokingly“开玩笑地”意思一致。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Whether young couples have a high willingness to have one more child depends mostly on their experience of raising the first child,” said Gao Ming, 35, a resident of Qingdao. She added that she didn’t want to have a second children, even if Qingdao took similar measures.”（年轻夫妇是否愿意再要一个孩子，主要取决于他们抚养第一个孩子的经历，”35岁的青岛居民高敏(音译)说。她补充说，即使青岛采取了类似的措施，她也不想生二胎）可推知，文章的结尾引用了高明的话是为了阐明一个观点。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段“The tuition fee exemption is one of a series of measures released by the city to encourage the birthrate. Others include subsidies(补贴)for universal childcare services, house purchases and medical expenses for childbirth. The government is also optimizing pregnancy leave and encouraging employers to explore flexible working schedules for female workers.”（免除学费是该市为鼓励出生率而出台的一系列措施之一。其他还包括普遍托儿服务补贴、购房补贴和分娩医疗费用补贴。政府还优化了产假，并鼓励雇主为女性员工探索灵活的工作时间安排）可知，文章主要讲的是为了鼓励出生率，山东省潍坊市出台的一系列政策和措施。故文章最适合的标题是“采取了更多措施促进生育。”故选B项。

The hustle and bustle(喧嚣)of life, walking back and forth from the ideal to reality, and the inner confusion hidden behind a social mask-these daily experiences are recorded by Chinese youths in lines of poetry online. Recently, 124 Bilibili internet users shared their works in a poem collection.
One blogger on Xiaohongshu who goes by the nickname Gehuaren is one such poetry lover. The twenty-something girl not only writes poems as a form of entertainment in her spare time, but also improvises(即兴创作)poems for others at night markets in Yunnan. As a street-stall poet, Gehuaren often writes pieces of poetry quickly based on themes from customers. Once the poem has been completed, she refuses to change her work because she feels her poems reflect her first reaction. For her, everything in the world, no matter trivial or significant, can serve as her poetic inspiration. “A glass, a tree in the dawn or a person who once talked with me…these all could become themes for my poems,” said Gehuaren.
With free writing with a regular rhythm and broad themes, her poems strike a chord with many young people online, helping her gain over 190, 000 followers. Many have made comments “I feel healed by your poems because I can find beauty from unnoticeable things and in turn, slow down to reflect on my life.”
Apart from poetry, various means such as vlogging and photosharing can be used to record moments of daily life. But young people consider poetry to be the best way to express them. “Taking photos or vlogging can just show the object or emotions in real life. Yet poetry, which can be used to excite the imagination, shows the beauty of daily life, ”an 18-year-old said. So when he is inspired by the beauty of daily life, the boy writes it down into lines of poetry and then shares them with his friends on his WeChat Moments.
No matter why young people write their unique brand of poems, they are attempting to take every moment in lives seriously, face their lives bravely and actively express themselves.
8. How does Gehuaren find inspiration for her poems?
A. By referring to traditional Chinese poems.
B. By attending various online poetry lectures.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一位网名叫隔花人的年轻诗人的故事，她的诗歌自由自在，节奏规律，主题广泛，在网上引起了许多年轻人的共鸣，帮助她获得了19万多名粉丝。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“For her, everything in the world, no matter trivial or significant, can serve as her poetic inspiration. “A glass, a tree in the dawn or a person who once talked with me…these all could become themes for my poems,” said Gehuaren.”（对她来说，世界上的一切，无论琐碎还是重要，都可以成为她的诗歌灵感。隔花人说：“一个杯子，黎明的一棵树，或者一个曾经和我说话的人……这些都可以成为我诗歌的主题。”）可推知，隔花人通过观察日常生活找到她诗歌的灵感的。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“With free writing with a regular rhythm and broad themes, her poems strike a chord with many young people online, helping her gain over 190, 000 followers. Many have made comments “I feel healed by your poems because I can find beauty from unnoticeable things and in turn, slow down to reflect on my life.””（她的诗歌自由自在，节奏规律，主题广泛，在网上引起了许多年轻人的共鸣，帮助她获得了19万多名粉丝。许多人评论说：“你的诗治愈了我，因为我能从不引人注目的事物中发现美，从而放慢了对生活的反思。”）可知，隔花人的诗在她的追随者中如此受欢迎是因为他们记录了小而平凡的事物之美。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Yet poetry, which can be used to excite the imagination, shows the beauty of daily life, ”an 18-year-old said.

【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“No matter why young people write their unique brand of poems, they are attempting to take every moment in lives seriously, face their lives bravely and actively express themselves.”（不管年轻人为什么会写出自己独特的诗歌，他们都在努力认真对待生活中的每一刻，勇敢地面对生活，积极地表达自己。）可推知，关于最后一段的年轻诗人，我们能推断出他们勇敢地表达自己的想法。故选D项。
D
In the office of remote sensing scientist Liu Shaochuang, there is a huge photograph of a camel he snapped a decade ago in Xinjiang. He crouched for hours by a pool of water in the Gobi Desert to capture the image.
Since 2012, he has led a team in tracking and studying wild camels using satellite remote sensing technology.
Unlike zoologists who focus on species, Liu has studied the interrelationship between endangered animals and their environment, which he believes will help develop better protection strategies in the face of climate change.
His interest in wild camels began when his team tested a prototype(雏形)design of the lunar rover Yutu in the desert. Living in the harsh deserts in northwestern China and southwestern Mongolia, camels are listed as critically endangered animals. Experts estimate that the population of this species is currently less than 1, 000, of which around 650 are in China.
“Ten years ago the research relied solely on human observation, which was very primitive, ”Liu says. Because camels are fully migratory and can travel over long distances, scientists used to learn their habits by studying hoof prints and droppings. It was hard to find one camel in the desert, let alone track it. But Liu thought his expertise in satellite navigation(导航)and remote sensing might come in useful in the study of wild camels.
It was not easy at first. Liu learned zoology from scratch. His team had to spend several weeks each year braving dust and sandstorms in the vastness of the Gobi Desert seeking out camels. A scar on his right eyebrow is the result of a rollover accident on a rugged mountain road in Xinjiang.
“The most exciting moment was attaching a satellite positioning collar to a wild camel. ”The tracking collar, equipped with special receivers, weighs only a few hundred grams. It can detach automatically and will not have a negative impact on the daily lives of the animals. The locations of the tracked animals are transmitted via satellite every day. Based on the data, scientists can get to know their migratory paths, living environments and possible threats they may meet with.
For Liu, it is worth the significant sci-tech effort to study such a rare species. He adds wildlife protection and research will become more precise and efficient with the help of technology.
12. What was it that made tracking wild camels difficult?
A. The number of camels experienced a sharp decline.
B. Massive migration made camels cover huge distances.
C. Primitive tools were used in human observation.
D. Hoof prints and droppings were never to be seen.
13. What can be inferred from the scar on his right eyebrow?
A. His carelessness in carrying out his research.
B. His inexperience at the very beginning of his work.
C. The rough conditions under which he worked.
D. The stress he met with in his work.
14. What does paragraph 7 mainly focus on?
A. The formation of the tracking collar.
B. The definition of the tracking collar.
C. The importance of the tracking collar.
D. The function of the tracking collar.
15. Which of the following can best describe Liu Shaochuang?
A. Generous and ambitious. B. Confident and grateful.
C. Creative and determined. D. Optimistic and modest.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了遥感科学家刘少创带领一个团队利用卫星遥感技术跟踪和研究野生骆驼的故事。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Because camels are fully migratory and can travel over long distances, scientists used to learn their habits by studying hoof prints and droppings. It was hard to find one camel in the desert, let alone track it.”（由于骆驼是完全迁徙的动物，可以长途跋涉，科学家们过去常常通过研究蹄印和粪便来了解它们的习性。在沙漠中连一头骆驼都很难找到，更不用说追踪了。）可知，让追踪野生骆驼变得如此困难是因为大规模的迁徙使得骆驼要走很远的路。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“His team had to spend several weeks each year braving dust and sandstorms in the vastness of the Gobi Desert seeking out camels. A scar on his right eyebrow is the result of a rollover accident on a rugged mountain road in Xinjiang.”（他的团队每年都要花几个星期的时间在广阔的戈壁沙漠冒着沙尘暴寻找骆驼。他右眉上的伤疤是在新疆崎岖的山路上发生的翻车事故造成的。）可知，从他右眉上的伤疤可以推断出他工作的艰苦条件。故选C项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第七段中“The tracking collar, equipped with special receivers, weighs only a few hundred grams. It can detach automatically and will not have a negative impact on the daily lives of the animals. The locations of the tracked animals are transmitted via satellite every day.”（这种装有特殊接收器的追踪项圈只有几百克重。它可以自动分离，不会对动物的日常生活产生负面影响。被追踪动物的位置每天都通过卫星传送。） 可知，第七段的重点讲的是跟踪项圈的功能。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一、二段“In the office of remote sensing scientist Liu Shaochuang, there is a huge photograph of a camel he snapped a decade ago in Xinjiang. He crouched for hours by a pool of water in the Gobi Desert to capture the image. Since 2012, he has led a team in tracking and studying wild camels using satellite remote sensing technology.”（在遥感科学家刘少创的办公室里，有一张他十年前在新疆拍摄的骆驼的巨幅照片。他在戈壁沙漠的一池水旁蹲了几个小时来捕捉这张照片。自2012年以来，他带领一个团队利用卫星遥感技术跟踪和研究野生骆驼。）可推知，刘少创是有创造力和决心的。故选C项。

【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：周二，一场起源于蒙古的沙尘暴席卷了中国北方大片地区，造成了严重污染。分析句子可知，此处为关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词A sandstorm在从句中作主语成分。故填which。

【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：据说，强风吹过松散的沙土，为沙尘暴创造了条件。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰strong winds，strong winds和blow为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填blowing。

【42题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意：受影响地区的政府敦促患有呼吸道疾病的人避免户外活动，并建议穿颜色鲜艳的衣服，以免在能见度低的情况下发生事故。根据句意以及空后of the affected areas可知，此处应为名词复数形式，满足句意要求。故填governments。
【43题详解】
考查虚拟语气。句意：受影响地区的政府敦促患有呼吸道疾病的人避免户外活动，并建议穿颜色鲜艳的衣服，以免在能见度低的情况下发生事故。分析句子可知，此处为动词recommended表示“建议”后接that引导的宾语从句，该宾语从句中动词应用虚拟语气用法，即(should) do，clothes和wear为被动关系，所以为(should) be worn。故填(should) be worn。
【44题详解】

第二节(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。
It was in the chilly midwinter, and the wandering couple walked through the freezing night with heavy steps, seeking shelter. The father-to-be scanned the roadside for some home, some inn where his tired companion might rest safely for the night. He looked over at her frequently. She labored along, her way made heavier by the new life growing inside her. They needed a warm, dry place safe from the bitter wind. When her time came, it must not be out here along the roadway.
Their names were not Mary and Joseph, but Pepper and Cooper. Nor were they man and wife, but rather a pair of dogs, and the place was on a rural highway outside of town.
Night fell. Gus Kiebel, a county wildlife officer, was driving home from work when he spotted the pair in the flash of his headlights. It was snowing so hard that it was difficult to see, but he could tell the dogs were wearing collars and tags. What were they doing out here on this road?
He parked his truck and approached the animals. Gus bent down and stretched out his hands to the dogs, which made no effort to escape. Gus read their tags by his truck’s headlights. He pulled out his phone to call the number listed, but it was snowing so hard that his screen blurred (模糊不清的). He placed the dogs in his truck, on the floor of the passenger side. By the time he came around the driver’s side, he found that they had climbed onto the passenger seat and were snuggled (依偎) together there. Gus dried his phone, snapped a picture of the pair and sent it to his wife, Katie Kiebel.
Then he dialed the number from the dog’s tags. A man answered and immediately sounds defensive when Gus told him why he was calling.
“I gave those dogs away,” the man said. “They’re not mine anymore.”
“Well, do you want them back?”
“No. I can’t take care of them.”
The man hung up.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Not knowing what to do, Gus looked over at them.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: “You cannot put them back in the snow,” Katie said.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Not knowing what to do, Gus looked over at them. Gus then tried calling the county dog warden’s office .Being after hours, the best he could do was leave a message, but what to do next? Gus had always wanted beagles as pets, but he and his wife already had a dog and couldn’t take on two more. With nothing left to do, he called Katie.
“You cannot put them back in the snow,” Katie said. Katie told Gus to bring them home, which is probably what he was hoping to hear anyway but just wanted confirmation. Once there, the good -hearted couple prepared a bed for the Cooper and Pepper on their warm, enclosed porch. They also set out food and water for them to replenish their energy. The exhausted dogs snuggled together, Cooper lifting his weary head from time to time to fuss over Pepper. The two would spend the night there, safe and warm, until morning came.

Weifang, Shandong province, will exempt(免除)senior middle school tuition fees for the third child in every family born after May 31, 2021, local officials announced on Tuesday at a news conference on optimizing policies encouraging families to have more children.
The tuition fee exemption is one of a series of measures released by the city to encourage the birthrate. Others include subsidies(补贴)for universal childcare services, house purchases and medical expenses for childbirth. The government is also optimizing pregnancy leave and encouraging employers to explore flexible working schedules for female workers.
The newly released measures have received a mixed response from the public with some welcoming the policy, while others say the tuition benefit is too little and too far off to make an impact. “Is the child able to study in a senior middle school if he or she didn’t pass the examination?” said one user mockingly on the Twitter-like platform Sina Weibo.
Cities in the province have been ramping up subsidies, and education and nursery care services to encourage families to have more children.
Shandong province, with a population of over 100 million people, in 2022 recorded its lowest birthrate since 1983. “To encourage the birthrate, the government need to pay attention to the needs of families with only one child instead of only providing subsidies for couples with two or three children. Whether young couples have a high willingness to have one more child depends mostly on their experience of raising the first child,” said Gao Ming, 35, a resident of Qingdao.

The hustle and bustle(喧嚣)of life, walking back and forth from the ideal to reality, and the inner confusion hidden behind a social mask-these daily experiences are recorded by Chinese youths in lines of poetry online. Recently, 124 Bilibili internet users shared their works in a poem collection.
One blogger on Xiaohongshu who goes by the nickname Gehuaren is one such poetry lover. The twenty-something girl not only writes poems as a form of entertainment in her spare time, but also improvises(即兴创作)poems for others at night markets in Yunnan. As a street-stall poet, Gehuaren often writes pieces of poetry quickly based on themes from customers. Once the poem has been completed, she refuses to change her work because she feels her poems reflect her first reaction. For her, everything in the world, no matter trivial or significant, can serve as her poetic inspiration. “A glass, a tree in the dawn or a person who once talked with me…these all could become themes for my poems,” said Gehuaren.
With free writing with a regular rhythm and broad themes, her poems strike a chord with many young people online, helping her gain over 190, 000 followers. Many have made comments “I feel healed by your poems because I can find beauty from unnoticeable things and in turn, slow down to reflect on my life.”
Apart from poetry, various means such as vlogging and photosharing can be used to record moments of daily life. But young people consider poetry to be the best way to express them. “Taking photos or vlogging can just show the object or emotions in real life. Yet poetry, which can be used to excite the imagination, shows the beauty of daily life, ”an 18-year-old said. So when he is inspired by the beauty of daily life, the boy writes it down into lines of poetry and then shares them with his friends on his WeChat Moments.
No matter why young people write their unique brand of poems, they are attempting to take every moment in lives seriously, face their lives bravely and actively express themselves.

In the office of remote sensing scientist Liu Shaochuang, there is a huge photograph of a camel he snapped a decade ago in Xinjiang. He crouched for hours by a pool of water in the Gobi Desert to capture the image.
Since 2012, he has led a team in tracking and studying wild camels using satellite remote sensing technology.
Unlike zoologists who focus on species, Liu has studied the interrelationship between endangered animals and their environment, which he believes will help develop better protection strategies in the face of climate change.
His interest in wild camels began when his team tested a prototype(雏形)design of the lunar rover Yutu in the desert. Living in the harsh deserts in northwestern China and southwestern Mongolia, camels are listed as critically endangered animals. Experts estimate that the population of this species is currently less than 1, 000, of which around 650 are in China.
“Ten years ago the research relied solely on human observation, which was very primitive, ”Liu says. Because camels are fully migratory and can travel over long distances, scientists used to learn their habits by studying hoof prints and droppings. It was hard to find one camel in the desert, let alone track it. But Liu thought his expertise in satellite navigation(导航)and remote sensing might come in useful in the study of wild camels.
It was not easy at first. Liu learned zoology from scratch. His team had to spend several weeks each year braving dust and sandstorms in the vastness of the Gobi Desert seeking out camels. A scar on his right eyebrow is the result of a rollover accident on a rugged mountain road in Xinjiang.
“The most exciting moment was attaching a satellite positioning collar to a wild camel. ”The tracking collar, equipped with special receivers, weighs only a few hundred grams. It can detach automatically and will not have a negative impact on the daily lives of the animals. The locations of the tracked animals are transmitted via satellite every day. Based on the data, scientists can get to know their migratory paths, living environments and possible threats they may meet with.
For Liu, it is worth the significant sci-tech effort to study such a rare species. He adds wildlife protection and research will become more precise and efficient with the help of technology.
12. What was it that made tracking wild camels difficult?
A. The number of camels experienced a sharp decline.
B. Massive migration made camels cover huge distances.
C. Primitive tools were used in human observation.
D. Hoof prints and droppings were never to be seen.
13. What can be inferred from the scar on his right eyebrow?
A. His carelessness in carrying out his research.
B. His inexperience at the very beginning of his work.
C. The rough conditions under which he worked.
D. The stress he met with in his work.
14. What does paragraph 7 mainly focus on?
A. The formation of the tracking collar.
B. The definition of the tracking collar.
C. The importance of the tracking collar.
D. The function of the tracking collar.
15. Which of the following can best describe Liu Shaochuang?
A. Generous and ambitious. B. Confident and grateful.
C. Creative and determined. D. Optimistic and modest.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了遥感科学家刘少创带领一个团队利用卫星遥感技术跟踪和研究野生骆驼的故事。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Because camels are fully migratory and can travel over long distances, scientists used to learn their habits by studying hoof prints and droppings. It was hard to find one camel in the desert, let alone track it.”（由于骆驼是完全迁徙的动物，可以长途跋涉，科学家们过去常常通过研究蹄印和粪便来了解它们的习性。在沙漠中连一头骆驼都很难找到，更不用说追踪了。）可知，让追踪野生骆驼变得如此困难是因为大规模的迁徙使得骆驼要走很远的路。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“His team had to spend several weeks each year braving dust and sandstorms in the vastness of the Gobi Desert seeking out camels. A scar on his right eyebrow is the result of a rollover accident on a rugged mountain road in Xinjiang.”（他的团队每年都要花几个星期的时间在广阔的戈壁沙漠冒着沙尘暴寻找骆驼。他右眉上的伤疤是在新疆崎岖的山路上发生的翻车事故造成的。）可知，从他右眉上的伤疤可以推断出他工作的艰苦条件。故选C项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第七段中“The tracking collar, equipped with special receivers, weighs only a few hundred grams. It can detach automatically and will not have a negative impact on the daily lives of the animals. The locations of the tracked animals are transmitted via satellite every day.”（这种装有特殊接收器的追踪项圈只有几百克重。它可以自动分离，不会对动物的日常生活产生负面影响。被追踪动物的位置每天都通过卫星传送。） 可知，第七段的重点讲的是跟踪项圈的功能。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一、二段“In the office of remote sensing scientist Liu Shaochuang, there is a huge photograph of a camel he snapped a decade ago in Xinjiang. He crouched for hours by a pool of water in the Gobi Desert to capture the image. Since 2012, he has led a team in tracking and studying wild camels using satellite remote sensing technology.”（在遥感科学家刘少创的办公室里，有一张他十年前在新疆拍摄的骆驼的巨幅照片。他在戈壁沙漠的一池水旁蹲了几个小时来捕捉这张照片。自2012年以来，他带领一个团队利用卫星遥感技术跟踪和研究野生骆驼。）可推知，刘少创是有创造力和决心的。故选C项。

考查定语从句。句意：周二，一场起源于蒙古的沙尘暴席卷了中国北方大片地区，造成了严重污染。分析句子可知，此处为关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词A sandstorm在从句中作主语成分。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：据国家气象中心称，这场风暴是今年迄今为止中国最强的一次，影响了几个省级地区。根据句意以及空前定冠词the可知，此处为形容词最高级strongest“最强的”作表语，满足句意要求。故填strongest。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：据说，强风吹过松散的沙土，为沙尘暴创造了条件。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰strong winds，strong winds和blow为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填blowing。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：卫星图像显示，截至周三上午，它已经覆盖了85.4万平方公里，大约是美国加利福尼亚州的两倍。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词的填入，由该句by Wednesday morning可知，此处为完成时，结合主句动词showed过去时可知，应为过去完成时。故填had covered。
40题详解】
考查副词。句意：卫星图像显示，截至周三上午，它已经覆盖了85.4万平方公里，大约是美国加利福尼亚州的两倍。分析句子可知，此处为副词roughly作状语修饰副词twice。故填roughly。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：猛烈的沙尘暴吞噬了沿途的一切，造成了许多不便。根据句意可知，此处为表示特指上文提到的沙尘暴，为特指概念，所以名词前加定冠词the。故填The。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意：受影响地区的政府敦促患有呼吸道疾病的人避免户外活动，并建议穿颜色鲜艳的衣服，以免在能见度低的情况下发生事故。根据句意以及空后of the affected areas可知，此处应为名词复数形式，满足句意要求。故填governments。
【43题详解】
考查虚拟语气。句意：受影响地区的政府敦促患有呼吸道疾病的人避免户外活动，并建议穿颜色鲜艳的衣服，以免在能见度低的情况下发生事故。分析句子可知，此处为动词recommended表示“建议”后接that引导的宾语从句，该宾语从句中动词应用虚拟语气用法，即(should) do，clothes和wear为被动关系，所以为(should) be worn。故填(should) be worn。
【44题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：首都的公园停止了船只和缆车，以确保游客的安全。分析句子可知，此处为动词不定式to do表示“为了……”作目的状语，满足句意要求。故填to ensure。
【45题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：目前还很难说今后是否还会出现这样的天气状况，但今年春天，气象台将密切关注。根据句意可知，此处为从属连词whether/if表示“是否”引导的宾语从句，满足句意要求。故填whether/if。

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。
It was in the chilly midwinter, and the wandering couple walked through the freezing night with heavy steps, seeking shelter. The father-to-be scanned the roadside for some home, some inn where his tired companion might rest safely for the night. He looked over at her frequently. She labored along, her way made heavier by the new life growing inside her. They needed a warm, dry place safe from the bitter wind. When her time came, it must not be out here along the roadway.
Their names were not Mary and Joseph, but Pepper and Cooper. Nor were they man and wife, but rather a pair of dogs, and the place was on a rural highway outside of town.
Night fell. Gus Kiebel, a county wildlife officer, was driving home from work when he spotted the pair in the flash of his headlights. It was snowing so hard that it was difficult to see, but he could tell the dogs were wearing collars and tags. What were they doing out here on this road?
He parked his truck and approached the animals. Gus bent down and stretched out his hands to the dogs, which made no effort to escape. Gus read their tags by his truck’s headlights. He pulled out his phone to call the number listed, but it was snowing so hard that his screen blurred (模糊不清的). He placed the dogs in his truck, on the floor of the passenger side. By the time he came around the driver’s side, he found that they had climbed onto the passenger seat and were snuggled (依偎) together there. Gus dried his phone, snapped a picture of the pair and sent it to his wife, Katie Kiebel.
Then he dialed the number from the dog’s tags. A man answered and immediately sounds defensive when Gus told him why he was calling.
“I gave those dogs away,” the man said. “They’re not mine anymore.”
“Well, do you want them back?”
“No. I can’t take care of them.”
The man hung up.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Not knowing what to do, Gus looked over at them.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: “You cannot put them back in the snow,” Katie said.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Not knowing what to do, Gus looked over at them. Gus then tried calling the county dog warden’s office .Being after hours, the best he could do was leave a message, but what to do next? Gus had always wanted beagles as pets, but he and his wife already had a dog and couldn’t take on two more. With nothing left to do, he called Katie.
“You cannot put them back in the snow,” Katie said. Katie told Gus to bring them home, which is probably what he was hoping to hear anyway but just wanted confirmation. Once there, the good -hearted couple prepared a bed for the Cooper and Pepper on their warm, enclosed porch. They also set out food and water for them to replenish their energy. The exhausted dogs snuggled together, Cooper lifting his weary head from time to time to fuss over Pepper. The two would spend the night there, safe and warm, until morning came.
