第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Many festivals take place in the Caribbean area, and Martinique, an island belonging to France, is no exception. One of the best things about living here is the great number of events and festivals, which take place throughout the year, all over the island. While it s hard to go to every festival, there is one event that you definitely can't miss. As soon as the Christmas festivities draw to a close and decorations are finally taken down, preparations begin for Carnival, the biggest and most exciting event of the year.
Having never experienced Carnival in the Caribbean before, I was excited to see Martinique come alive in Carnival spirit. True to my expectations, the celebrations were loud and had a lot of energy. For five days, the streets of Fort de France were filled with huge crowds, beautiful costumes and exciting music. Daily routines were completely abandoned while everyone took to the streets with crazy dance moves. In Martinique, Carnival is a celebration that brings people together, regardless of their age, race or religion. Everybody is united in this great celebration of life. An interesting aspect of Carnival for me was to see how many different cultural influences there were. The performances of people dancing in the street strongly reflected African dance, while the costumes were European. The music was also a unique mix of West African, Caribbean and European influences.
So, what are the roots of Martinique’s culture Most of the population of Martinique are of African descent (后裔）.The history dates back to Africans who were brought to the Caribbean as slaves. After the end of slavery, many Caribbean societies welcomed forms of African culture and identity. Once controlled by France, Martinique is also deeply influenced by French culture. This is what makes the island, along with Guadeloupe, different from other Caribbean islands.
21. We can learn from the text that the Carnival ________.
A. lasts for a week every year
B. takes place before Christmas
C. is the biggest event in Martinique
D. is celebrated by young people in Martinique
22. What is an interesting part of the Carnival for the author
A. The mix of different cultures. B. The amazing performances.
C. The beautiful costumes. D. The wonderful music.
23. The last paragraph of the text mainly tells us about ________.
A. the history of slavery in Martinique B. the origin of Martinique's culture
C. the population of Martinique D. France’s influence on Martinique
B
Scientists have found that the connections between humans and their dogs have the Same biochemical basis as the mother-child bond, and it's strengthened by the same thing: a gaze (注视).
A new study in Science, led by Takefumi Kikusui of Azabu University in Japan, carried out a series of experiments that examined the impact of the gaze in the dogs and their owners. “Our data suggest that owner-dog bonding is similar to human parent-child bonding,” Kikusui said. “And this is surprising to us because there is not a mother-baby relationship between humans and dogs, but both of them have acquired similar skills.”
The researchers found that when owners and their dogs gazed into one another’s eyes during a 30-minute period, levels of oxytocin (催产素）increased in both the humans and the dogs. Oxytocin is a chemical associated with trust and maternal (母性的）bonding — it increases when you’re close to someone you love and gives you that warm feeling. Kikusui aid he believed the gaze was learned by dogs as part of their efforts to communicate and form social bonds with humans.
The latest studies have shown that dogs probably evolved from wolves about 15,000 years ago,in Europe. Interestingly, Kikusui didn't find the same oxytocin response in wolves and their owners. “These results suggest that wolves do not use gazes as a form of social communication with humans, which might be expected because wolves tend to use eye contact as a threat，” the researchers wrote.
Duke university’s Evan MacLean and Brian Hare said, “This is particularly true when it comes to how dogs understand the social world. Even as young dogs, they naturally respond to human gestures, such as pointing cues, to find hidden food or toy rewards.”
MacLean said he felt the Japanese study strengthens the idea that the human-dog relationship is like a parent-child relationship and could help explain the biological basis that are involved in the use of dogs in medicine to treat some diseases or various forms of stress.
“If it turns out there are benefits of using oxytocin for some of these disabilities, using assistance dogs will actually be a fairly natural way to cause the system to start working,” he said. “There may be some sort of medicinal value of our communication with dogs that we could use.”
24. What probably caused different oxytocin responses between dogs and wolves
A. Different types of evolution.
B. Different social bonds with humans.
C. Different understanding of the social world.
D. Different forms of communication wilh humans.
25. What may MacLean suggest people do
A. Make use of dogs in medical treatment.
B. Understand how dogs communicate with humans.
C. Use Oxytocin to strengthen parent-child relationship.
D. Train dogs to respond to human gestures in a natural way.
26. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Powerful Effect of Oxytocin
B. The Differences Between Dogs and Wolves
C. Dogs Develop Special Communication Skills
D. Dogs and People Bond Through Eye Contact
C
Matt Doogue, 34-year-old nature photographer, had been suffering from depression when he first found his passion for taking pictures of insects -- and his work is now featured in National Geographic. He says that he tried to take his own life nine years ago after hitting “rock bottom.” “In the beginning, I was so paranoid (妄想）and angry that I couldn’t leave the house,” says Doogue. “When I attempted to end my life, I knew I needed to see someone. I went to the doctors and got treatment, but I knew that I needed something more 一 and that’s when I started photography."
Now a clad of two, Doogue found that looking at insects through a camera helped him in ways he could never have imagined 一 and it proved to be the lifeline he needed. It had a “calming effect” that helped him to “disconnect” from stress; and his astonishing images, showing insects and spiders in amazing detail against brightly colored backgrounds, caught the eye of publishers at National Geographic. “I ended up as one of their featured photographers,” recalled Doogue. “It was the peak of my career. It was incredible.”
Originally from Salford, Greater Manchester, he now lives in Armadale, West Lothian, Scotland. Though he fears that Scotland is in the middle of an “epidemic” of male suicide, he believes that sharing his love of nature photography can help others to cope with their mental health issues as well. “I think the problem is this ‘man-up’ approach; the idea that men need to be strong puts so much pressure on young males to be fine all the time,” says Doogue. “This is why I try and be so open about my own experience. Whenever I am out with my camera, I don’t think about my other worries. It is just me and the environment around me. You can lose yourself in a spider making its web.”
27. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. Why Doogue became pessimistic.
B Why Doogue took up photography.
C. How Doogue fell in depression.
D. How serious his depression was.
28. According to Doogue, what leads Scottish men to develop mental health problems
A. The approach they adopt to solve problems.
B. The absence of love for their life and work.
C. The idea that men are supposed to be strong.
D. The concern that they get disconnected from people.
29. How did photography help Doogue
A. It equipped him with life-saving skills.
B. It helped him to get away from pressure.
C. It offered him a different way to express himself.
D. It gave him a chance to show his love for nature.
30. What is the main intention of the author in writing this passage
A. To describe the seriousness of mental problems.
B. To introduce the benefits of nature photography.
C. To share Doogue’s experience of beating depression.
D. To encourage the readers to find their love for nature.

Is being different around different people like putting on a mask When I am around different people I act differently. I switch my attitude around so it is similar to that of my friends. ____31____
The honest truth is that every person has many different parts of his or her personality that make up the whole person. For example, there are times when I am excited and noisy. At other times I like to be more quiet and reserved. During neither of these times am I being dishonest; just another aspect of my personality is coming out. And sometimes I behave differently depending on the social situation that I am in. For example, I am a pretty casual guy, so I really do prefer wearing jeans and T-shirts whenever possible. ____32____
This is not wearing a mask. It is just being respectful and appropriate to the situation. And there are even groups of people that bring out certain parts of my personality. For example, when I am hanging out with ray male friends, I can be loud and wild. But when I am at home with my wife and kids after a long day at work, I am much more reserved and quiet. ____33____Rather, I am just being socially appropriate, and sensitive to the people that I am with or the situation that I am in. At other times I feel comfortable being loud around my family and reserved with my friends. ____34____They wouldn’t be good friends if they didn't value all the different aspects of my personality.
By contrast, what if I were with a group of people who support abortion ____35____Just to avoid conflict. If you have a friend or friends who don’t like the silly part of you, then they may not be good friends.
A. Is this considered putting on a mask
B. Only you can decide if you are wearing a mask.
C. I don't feel that I must act in a certain way to be accepted.
D. However, at a funeral or wedding, I always wear a suit and tie.
E. So I do not believe I am wearing a mask in any of these situations.
F. If they asked me my opinion, it would totally be a mask for me to agree with them.
G. So if we are not being the same person in the presence of any group, we are wearing a mask.

My name is Franklin G. Takata, but everyone around here calls me “Find-It Frankie.”
Let me tell you something: you don’t get a nickname like that overnight. I’ve been finding things since before I can remember. Mom said it all began when I started teething as a baby.
And when I turned five, I got a partner, my dog Munchy. For my fifth birthday, my parents let me pick him out at the animal shelter. When we opened his cage, the first thing he did was dig into my pocket and find the candy I had been saving for later. I guess you could say I saw a bit of my younger self in him.
Anyway, Munchy and I were playing in the yard one Thursday afternoon when Mom approached us with the case in question. Her diamond ring was missing, and she wanted us to find it. If I had known how tricky the case would be, I might have hesitated. But I said then, “There’s nothing we can’t find, guaranteed!”
I asked Mom the first question I always ask when something goes missing: “Where do you last remember seeing it ”
“ I was m the kitchen baking cookies," Mom answered. “I took off my ring and placed on the small shelf above the counter. But then your aunt called, and when I came back from talking to her, the ring was gone!”
"Hmm. Well, it couldn’t have disappeared all by itself I said. "Munchy, let’s go take a closer look.” Munchy led the way to the kitchen. There was no sign of the ring on the shelf or the counter, but tiny paw prints in the spilled flour told me who might have seen it last.
“The cat! I exclaimed. “See those prints Mr. Jingles must have been playing with the ring and knocked it onto the floor!” On my hands and knees, I searched all over the floor for the ring. No luck.
“Munchy，you’re up! Go find Mr. Jingles.” Munchy’s ears popped up. He never passed up an opportunity to annoy the cat.

M: Well, I major in Social Care Studies. I’m hoping to apply for a job in social care when I graduate, and this would give me some work experience in this field.
W: Great. And what makes you suitable for this kind of work, do you think
M: Well, I have very good communication skills. That’s my strong point, I think. And I’m a good listener. Sometimes you can help by just listening, you know.
W: I agree. Hmm, right. What I’d like to do, if it’s OK with you, is fix an appointment so we can meet and talk about this some more. It wouldn’t be anything formal, not an interview or anything like that. Er, how are you fixed for Tuesday 9th September at 4:30

【原文】W: Hello, this is Greenhill Studies College. I’m leaving this message in answer to your questions about the Business Studies course. Firstly, you asked when the course starts. It begins on the 12th of June, and finishes on the 11th of July. At the beginning of the course, there are no lectures because we spend time watching business videos. So you won’t need to bring anything for the class, as everything is provided. Don’t forget, however, that although you can bring your own notebook computer if you wish, mobile phones are not allowed in the classroom. I’m afraid these can disturb the classes. You said you’re coming by car. Well, as it’s only a short course, you can use the visitor’s car park which is just beside the main entrance. We’re only a short walk away. Just turn right after the science center, cross the staff car park, and you’ll see the door to the Business Studies Department in front of you. Finally, you also wanted to know if it’s possible to attend a language course while you are here. Well, the answer is yes, but we only have room on our Italian classes. Oh, no actually … there’s one place on the Spanish course too. We usually offer French, Chinese, German and Japanese as well, but there aren’t enough students for those classes this summer. If you want to apply for the course, please sign up before the 5th of June. Thank you.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Many festivals take place in the Caribbean area, and Martinique, an island belonging to France, is no exception. One of the best things about living here is the great number of events and festivals, which take place throughout the year, all over the island. While it s hard to go to every festival, there is one event that you definitely can't miss. As soon as the Christmas festivities draw to a close and decorations are finally taken down, preparations begin for Carnival, the biggest and most exciting event of the year.
Having never experienced Carnival in the Caribbean before, I was excited to see Martinique come alive in Carnival spirit. True to my expectations, the celebrations were loud and had a lot of energy. For five days, the streets of Fort de France were filled with huge crowds, beautiful costumes and exciting music. Daily routines were completely abandoned while everyone took to the streets with crazy dance moves. In Martinique, Carnival is a celebration that brings people together, regardless of their age, race or religion. Everybody is united in this great celebration of life. An interesting aspect of Carnival for me was to see how many different cultural influences there were. The performances of people dancing in the street strongly reflected African dance, while the costumes were European. The music was also a unique mix of West African, Caribbean and European influences.
So, what are the roots of Martinique’s culture Most of the population of Martinique are of African descent (后裔）.The history dates back to Africans who were brought to the Caribbean as slaves. After the end of slavery, many Caribbean societies welcomed forms of African culture and identity. Once controlled by France, Martinique is also deeply influenced by French culture. This is what makes the island, along with Guadeloupe, different from other Caribbean islands.
21. We can learn from the text that the Carnival ________.
A. lasts for a week every year
B. takes place before Christmas
C. is the biggest event in Martinique
D. is celebrated by young people in Martinique
22. What is an interesting part of the Carnival for the author
A. The mix of different cultures. B. The amazing performances.
C. The beautiful costumes. D. The wonderful music.
23. The last paragraph of the text mainly tells us about ________.
A. the history of slavery in Martinique B. the origin of Martinique's culture
C. the population of Martinique D. France’s influence on Martinique
【答案】21. C 22. A 23. B

【22题详解】

Scientists have found that the connections between humans and their dogs have the Same biochemical basis as the mother-child bond, and it's strengthened by the same thing: a gaze (注视).
A new study in Science, led by Takefumi Kikusui of Azabu University in Japan, carried out a series of experiments that examined the impact of the gaze in the dogs and their owners. “Our data suggest that owner-dog bonding is similar to human parent-child bonding,” Kikusui said. “And this is surprising to us because there is not a mother-baby relationship between humans and dogs, but both of them have acquired similar skills.”
The researchers found that when owners and their dogs gazed into one another’s eyes during a 30-minute period, levels of oxytocin (催产素）increased in both the humans and the dogs. Oxytocin is a chemical associated with trust and maternal (母性的）bonding — it increases when you’re close to someone you love and gives you that warm feeling. Kikusui aid he believed the gaze was learned by dogs as part of their efforts to communicate and form social bonds with humans.
The latest studies have shown that dogs probably evolved from wolves about 15,000 years ago,in Europe. Interestingly, Kikusui didn't find the same oxytocin response in wolves and their owners. “These results suggest that wolves do not use gazes as a form of social communication with humans, which might be expected because wolves tend to use eye contact as a threat，” the researchers wrote.
Duke university’s Evan MacLean and Brian Hare said, “This is particularly true when it comes to how dogs understand the social world. Even as young dogs, they naturally respond to human gestures, such as pointing cues, to find hidden food or toy rewards.”
MacLean said he felt the Japanese study strengthens the idea that the human-dog relationship is like a parent-child relationship and could help explain the biological basis that are involved in the use of dogs in medicine to treat some diseases or various forms of stress.
“If it turns out there are benefits of using oxytocin for some of these disabilities, using assistance dogs will actually be a fairly natural way to cause the system to start working,” he said. “There may be some sort of medicinal value of our communication with dogs that we could use.”
24. What probably caused different oxytocin responses between dogs and wolves
A. Different types of evolution.
B. Different social bonds with humans.
C. Different understanding of the social world.
D. Different forms of communication wilh humans.
25. What may MacLean suggest people do
A. Make use of dogs in medical treatment.
B. Understand how dogs communicate with humans.
C. Use Oxytocin to strengthen parent-child relationship.
D. Train dogs to respond to human gestures in a natural way.
26. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A The Powerful Effect of Oxytocin
B. The Differences Between Dogs and Wolves
C. Dogs Develop Special Communication Skills
D. Dogs and People Bond Through Eye Contact
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是科学家们发现，人类和狗狗之间的联系有着与母子关系相同的生化基础，而且这种联系可以通过凝视得到加强。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“These results suggest that wolves do not use gazes as a form of social communication with humans, which might be expected because wolves tend to use eye contact as a threat（这些结果表明，狼并不把目光作为与人类进行社会交流的一种形式，这可能是意料之中的，因为狼倾向于用眼神交流来威胁人类 ）”和第五段的“Even as young dogs, they naturally respond to human gestures, such as pointing cues, to find hidden food or toy rewards（即使是年幼的狗，它们也会自然地对人类的手势做出反应，比如指向线索，寻找隐藏的食物或玩具奖励。）”可知，狗和狼与人类交流的不同形式可能导致了催产素的不同反应，故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“MacLean said he felt the Japanese study strengthens the idea that the human-dog relationship is like a parent-child relationship and could help explain the biological basis that are involved in the use of dogs in medicine to treat some diseases or various forms of stress.（麦克林说，他认为日本的这项研究强化了人狗关系就像亲子关系的观点，并有助于解释在医学上使用狗治疗某些疾病或各种压力的生物学基础。）”可知，MacLean可能会建议人们利用狗进行医疗。故选A。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Scientists have found that the connections between humans and their dogs have the Same biochemical basis as the mother-child bond, and it's strengthened by the same thing: a gaze (注视).（科学家们发现，人类和狗狗之间的联系有着与母子关系相同的生化基础，而且这种联系可以通过同一件事得到加强:凝视。）”可知，本文主要讲的是人和狗之间通过注视进行交流，因此D选项Dogs and People Bond Through Eye Contact（狗和人通过眼神交流建立联系）概况了全文内容，可作为最好的题目，故选D。
C
Matt Doogue, 34-year-old nature photographer, had been suffering from depression when he first found his passion for taking pictures of insects -- and his work is now featured in National Geographic. He says that he tried to take his own life nine years ago after hitting “rock bottom.” “In the beginning, I was so paranoid (妄想的）and angry that I couldn’t leave the house,” says Doogue. “When I attempted to end my life, I knew I needed to see someone. I went to the doctors and got treatment, but I knew that I needed something more 一 and that’s when I started photography."
Now a clad of two, Doogue found that looking at insects through a camera helped him in ways he could never have imagined 一 and it proved to be the lifeline he needed. It had a “calming effect” that helped him to “disconnect” from stress; and his astonishing images, showing insects and spiders in amazing detail against brightly colored backgrounds, caught the eye of publishers at National Geographic. “I ended up as one of their featured photographers,” recalled Doogue. “It was the peak of my career. It was incredible.”
Originally from Salford, Greater Manchester, he now lives in Armadale, West Lothian, Scotland. Though he fears that Scotland is in the middle of an “epidemic” of male suicide, he believes that sharing his love of nature photography can help others to cope with their mental health issues as well. “I think the problem is this ‘man-up’ approach; the idea that men need to be strong puts so much pressure on young males to be fine all the time,” says Doogue. “This is why I try and be so open about my own experience. Whenever I am out with my camera, I don’t think about my other worries. It is just me and the environment around me. You can lose yourself in a spider making its web.”
27. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. Why Doogue became pessimistic.
B. Why Doogue took up photography.
C. How Doogue fell in depression.
D. How serious his depression was.
28. According to Doogue, what leads Scottish men to develop mental health problems
A. The approach they adopt to solve problems.
B. The absence of love for their life and work.
C. The idea that men are supposed to be strong.
D. The concern that they get disconnected from people.
29. How did photography help Doogue
A. It equipped him with life-saving skills.
B. It helped him to get away from pressure.
C. It offered him a different way to express himself.
D. It gave him a chance to show his love for nature.
30. What is the main intention of the author in writing this passage
A. To describe the seriousness of mental problems.
B. To introduce the benefits of nature photography.
C. To share Doogue’s experience of beating depression.
D. To encourage the readers to find their love for nature.
【答案】27. B 28. C 29. B 30. C

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Is being different around different people like putting on a mask When I am around different people I act differently. I switch my attitude around so it is similar to that of my friends. ____31____
The honest truth is that every person has many different parts of his or her personality that make up the whole person. For example, there are times when I am excited and noisy. At other times I like to be more quiet and reserved. During neither of these times am I being dishonest; just another aspect of my personality is coming out. And sometimes I behave differently depending on the social situation that I am in. For example, I am a pretty casual guy, so I really do prefer wearing jeans and T-shirts whenever possible. ____32____
This is not wearing a mask. It is just being respectful and appropriate to the situation. And there are even groups of people that bring out certain parts of my personality. For example, when I am hanging out with ray male friends, I can be loud and wild. But when I am at home with my wife and kids after a long day at work, I am much more reserved and quiet. ____33____Rather, I am just being socially appropriate, and sensitive to the people that I am with or the situation that I am in. At other times I feel comfortable being loud around my family and reserved with my friends. ____34____They wouldn’t be good friends if they didn't value all the different aspects of my personality.
By contrast, what if I were with a group of people who support abortion ____35____Just to avoid conflict. If you have a friend or friends who don’t like the silly part of you, then they may not be good friends.
A. Is this considered putting on a mask
B. Only you can decide if you are wearing a mask.
C. I don't feel that I must act in a certain way to be accepted.
D. However, at a funeral or wedding, I always wear a suit and tie.
E. So I do not believe I am wearing a mask in any of these situations.
F. If they asked me my opinion, it would totally be a mask for me to agree with them.
G. So if we are not being the same person in the presence of any group, we are wearing a mask.

【35题详解】
空格前说“By contrast, what if I were with a group of people who support abortion （相比之下，如果我和一群支持堕胎的人在一起呢 只是为了避免冲突。）”，空格后说“Just to avoid conflict.（只是为了避免冲突。）”，说明作者是不同意堕胎的，但是为了避免冲突作者会说同意，这只是面具，F选项If they asked me my opinion, it would totally be a mask for me to agree with them.（如果他们问我的意见，对我来说，同意他们完全是一种伪装。）说明了同意堕胎是作者的面具，因此F选项承上启下，符合语境，故选F。

【解析】
【分析】本文是新闻报道。美国国家海洋和大气管理局的最新数据显示，2021年7月成为了有史以来最热的月份，联合国气候变化报告明确指出人类活动已经影响了气候，极端天气将继续恶化。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：科学家刚刚宣布，7月是有记录以来最热的月份。分析句子可知，提示词record(记录)作后置定语修饰名词the hottest month，是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语the hottest month之间有被动关系，应用过去分词，表示被动。故填recorded。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意：通常，7月是一年中最热的月份，但2021年的7月超越了它自己，成为有史以来最热的7月和最热的月份。根据句意可知，提示词typical在句中修饰整个句子，作评注性状语，应用副词形式typically，表示“通常”。故填typically。
【58题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：7月是一年中最热的月份，但2021年的7月超越了它自己，成为有史以来最热的7月和最热的月份。反身代词与它所指代的名词或代词具有互指关系，通常当主语与宾语是同一人或物时才使用反身代词。根据句意“2021年的7月超越了往年的自己”可知，此处主语July发出的动作施加在自己身上，应使用反身代词itself。故填itself。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意：美国国家海洋和大气管理局表示，7月份地球陆地和海洋表面温度增加了0.93摄氏度，而20世纪的平均温度为15.8摄氏度。increase by...是固定搭配，意为“增加了……”，根据句意可知，7月份地球陆地和海洋表面温度增加了0.93摄氏度。故填by。
【60题详解】
考查形容词。句意：美国国家海洋和大气管理局发言人表示，这一新记录令人担忧。-ing形容词常修饰限定事或物，表示“令人……的”，-ed形容词常修饰限定人，表示“感到……的”；分析句子可知，提示词worry在句中作表语，表示“新记录令人担忧”，应用-ing形容词worrying ，意为“令人担心的”。故填worrying。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：它清楚地指出人类已经影响了气候。分析句子可知，提示词state是主句中谓语动词，与主语It之间是主动关系，结合宾语从句中过去完成时可推知，主句应使用一般过去时态，所以谓语动词用过去式stated。故填stated。
【62题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：很明显，人类的影响已经警告了大气、海洋和陆地。“It be clear that...”是固定句型，表示“很明显……”，其中it是形式主语，that从句是主语从句。故填that。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意：总共有来自66个国家的234名科学家参与了这份报告。a total of...为固定搭配，意为“总共……”。故填A。
【64题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：它警告说极端天气将继续恶化。分析句子可知，提示词continue是宾语从句中谓语动词，与主语extreme weather之间是主动关系，句中对将来的可能发生的事情提出警告，应使用一般将来时态。故填will continue。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意：该组织表示，每个地区都将经历多种天气变化，比如酷热和洪水。根据空格前形容词multiple(多种的)可知，可数名词change应用复数形式changes，意为“变化”。故填changes。

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
My name is Franklin G. Takata, but everyone around here calls me “Find-It Frankie.”
Let me tell you something: you don’t get a nickname like that overnight. I’ve been finding things since before I can remember. Mom said it all began when I started teething as a baby.
And when I turned five, I got a partner, my dog Munchy. For my fifth birthday, my parents let me pick him out at the animal shelter. When we opened his cage, the first thing he did was dig into my pocket and find the candy I had been saving for later. I guess you could say I saw a bit of my younger self in him.
Anyway, Munchy and I were playing in the yard one Thursday afternoon when Mom approached us with the case in question. Her diamond ring was missing, and she wanted us to find it. If I had known how tricky the case would be, I might have hesitated. But I said then, “There’s nothing we can’t find, guaranteed!”
I asked Mom the first question I always ask when something goes missing: “Where do you last remember seeing it ”
“ I was m the kitchen baking cookies," Mom answered. “I took off my ring and placed on the small shelf above the counter. But then your aunt called, and when I came back from talking to her, the ring was gone!”
"Hmm. Well, it couldn’t have disappeared all by itself I said. "Munchy, let’s go take a closer look.” Munchy led the way to the kitchen. There was no sign of the ring on the shelf or the counter, but tiny paw prints in the spilled flour told me who might have seen it last.
“The cat! I exclaimed. “See those prints Mr. Jingles must have been playing with the ring and knocked it onto the floor!” On my hands and knees, I searched all over the floor for the ring. No luck.
“Munchy，you’re up! Go find Mr. Jingles.” Munchy’s ears popped up. He never passed up an opportunity to annoy the cat.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Munchy immediately located the cat asleep on the sofa. I rushed over and lifted up an angry Mr.Jingles while Munchy searched the cushions and the rest of the living room. But the ring wasn't there. It seemed that the ring had disappeared as if by magic. Munchy and I returned to the kitchen. “It must be the cat. I just don't know what the cat did with it,” I groaned, hanging my head. Noticing my frustration, Mom gave me a pat on the back as encouragement and handed me a warm cookie she had just baked.
Gloomily, I took a bite of the cookie but stopped when I felt something hard. It was ring-shaped and it was very hard. “I find it!” I exclaimed with wild excitement,spitting bits of cookie into the sink. Slowly,I pulled the diamond ring from my mouth, “Tada!There it is! Now I see what happened,"I said proudly. “The cat knocked the ring into the dough.And then it was accidentally baked into a cookie!” I handed the ring back to Mom.She smiled as she washed it and dried it with a towel. “Truly,there's nothing 'Find-It Frankie' can't find, absolutely guaranteed!”
