A global analysis of Earth's threatened and endangered species has changed our scientific understanding about how much climate change is affecting wildlife.
The research, published Monday in the journal NatureClimateChange, shows that 47 percent of mammals and 23 percent of birds have been negatively affected by our changing planet. Those figures are shockingly larger than previous assessments, which have shown 7 percent of mammals and 4 percent of birds were affected. Of the 873 mammal species looked at, 414 are hurt by climate change. For threatened birds, 298 of 1, 272 species are experiencing negative effects, according to the findings.
However, a new study follows the analysis of threatened wildlife shows that the biggest threat to wildlife is not climate change, which gets a lot of attention, but human activities, including logging(伐木), hunting and farming. Today, three－quarters of Earth's land surface faces “human pressure”， according to a global analysis professor Watson carried out in August.
“When it comes to the effects of human activities on wildlife，” Watson said, “most studies look at what might happen to a population in the future, perhaps 50 or 100 years down the line. The problem with such forecasts is that they are absolutely unhelpful for the here and now.”
“Nature is extremely resilient(能复原的)if you give it a chance，” Watson said. “But the big thing is acting now, not in 20 to 50 years' time. Not make climate change and ‘human pressure’ a future threat, but take action now. Because every day, every minute, which you delay, you lose those opportunities.”
4．What has been found about the effects of climate change according to the passage
A．Human activities are suffering severe disaster due to the climate change.
B．The species affected by climate change are more than people thought.
C．More than half of the mammal species were affected by climate change.
D．Three－quarters of Earth's land surface has been damaged by climate change.
5．What does the underlined word “they” refer to
A．Human activities. B．Negative effects.
C．Assessments. D．Forecasts.
6．What's the attitude of Watson towards the recovery of the environment
A．Optimistic. B．Pessimistic.
C．Doubtful. D．Uncaring.

2．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据When and Where Can I Drop Off Food？部分的“We will be collecting food from December 13th to December 18th.(我们将从12月13日到12月18日收集食物)”可知，12月13日到12月18日收集食物，总共持续6天，故选B项。
3．答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据When and Where Can I Drop Off Food？部分的“South Campus: 518 Park Dr near the mailroom”可知，南校区收集食物的地方在518 Park Dr near the mailroom，故选D。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。通过对全球濒危物种的分析我们认识到，气候变化对物种的影响远比我们想象的要大得多。然而人类活动的影响却是对野生动植物最大的威胁，因此人类要立即开始行动，给自然自我修复的机会，否则人类就会失去这些机会。
4．答案与解析：B 推理判断题。由第一段“A global analysis of Earth's threatened and endangered species has changed our scientific understanding about how much climate change is affecting wildlife”及第二段中的“Those figures are shockingly larger than previous assessments, which have shown 7 percent of mammals and 4 percent of birds were affected”可知，气候变化对物种的影响比人们想象的要大得多。故选B。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了保护文化遗产的重要性和必要性。提醒读者应该把文化遗产的保护作为一项必要任务。
1．答案与解析：G 承接句。根据下一句“When people admit our culture, we will be proud of being part of the country so as to improve the unity and have the desire to make a contribution to society.”可知，此处讲述的是我们的文化，G项“文化中蕴含着中国人的精神，这种精神经过了时间的考验”也是在讲文化，其中的culture是答案的关键。
2．答案与解析：A 细节句。结合空格后的内容可知，这里是在讲有关文化遗产的定义，而此句话中的代词it与A项中的“cultural heritage”相对应，故A项正确。
3．答案与解析：F 过渡句。上文讲到好莱坞电影占据了市场；下文提到有些人开始对当地文化感到失望，因为他们没有看到其重要性，据此可知F项“在中国许多年轻人把这些超级英雄角色作为他们的偶像”起到了承上启下的作用，并和下文构成因果关系。
4．答案与解析：E 过渡句。下文提到他们对当地文化知之甚少，E项中的thus是解题的关键，后面意思是“有必要建立人们的地方文化遗产意识”与之构成因果关系。
5．答案与解析：D 总结句。空格前提到学生们应该接受文化教育，政府命名了中国文化遗产日，目的在于传播文化，孩子们长大后也会为保护文化遗产而斗争。D项“总之，文化遗产保护是一件非常有意义的事情”是对上面这些表述内容的总结和归纳。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了哥伦比亚的蜂鸟公园。住在喧嚣城市的人们可以来到这里观赏各种各样的鸟儿，以缓解压力。
1．答案与解析：peaceful 考查形容词。根据前面的冠词a和后面的名词break可知，空格处应用形容词作定语修饰名词break。peaceful为形容词，意为“和平的、平静的”。
2．答案与解析：protected 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，本句中的is是系动词，故protect需用作非谓语动词形式。由于其与修饰的名词park之间构成被动关系，故用过去分词protected作定语，表示“被保护的公园”之意。
3．答案与解析：sits 考查动词时态和主谓一致。通篇文章采用一般现在时讲述哥伦比亚的一个公园的相关情况，此处也应采用一般现在时描述目前的“事实性内容”。由于主语the park表示单数概念，故用一般现在时的三单形式。
4．答案与解析：are studied 考查语态。本句表示复数概念的主语the hummingbirds与动词study之间构成被动关系，且需要用一般现在时态，故填一般现在时的被动形式are studied。
5．答案与解析：reality 考查词形转换。根据前面的不定冠词a可知，空格处需填写名词形式，real的名词形式为reality，结合上下文句意可知，reality在这里表示“事实(情况)”之意。
6．答案与解析：a 考查冠词。分析句子结构可知，人名Camilo Cantor后的“________ caretaker in the park”为同位语成分，表示“这座公园的一个管理员”之意。故用不定冠词a。
7．答案与解析：where 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，本句为限定性定语从句，先行词是place，定语从句中缺少地点状语，故用关系副词where引导。
8．答案与解析：meaning 考查非谓语动词。本句中的was deforested为被动谓语动词，mean前没有连词出现，故只能确定为非谓语动词，由于mean与前面句子之间构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。句意：十年前，这座山的森林被完全砍伐，这意味着山上没有任何树木。
9．答案与解析：Presently 考查副词。分析句子结构可知，空格处需填写present的副词形式，修饰后面整个句子。presently为副词，意为“目前、当下”，相当于nowadays。
10．答案与解析：to 考查介词。be home to为固定搭配，表示“……的家园”之意。句意：蜂鸟只生活在美洲大陆，哥伦比亚是许多不同种类蜂鸟的家园。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
On a day in Arkansas, some fishermen saw a bear cub(幼兽)in a tree. As hours went by, its mother didn't return. So they called wildlife biologist Eastridge.
The bear cub was sick and hungry, weighing only 5 pounds and with his eyes not completely open. Eastridge called Lisa Stewart, who works at Appalachian Bear Rescue in Tennessee. Stewart always makes room for a new cub.
She named the bear Miracle because she thought it was a miracle that he had survived! As soon as she could, she stopped having contact with the cub so he would not become too used to humans. When the cub arrived, Stewart cleaned his eyes and put him in a house alone. Since Miracle was already 5 months old, Stewart gave him bowls of food and another bowl of a special formula(配方奶粉), similar to a bear mother's milk. Sometimes, Miracle would reach his head out of his house and take some formula or food. But he wasn't eating too much.
Miracle was too weak to be with other bears. So Stewart gave him a toy bear named Buddy. He took it into his house and covered it with straw. He fed Buddy, too. Stewart often found the toy covered in formula and berries and its ears full of apple chunks. Now that Miracle had Buddy, he came out of his house more often and wanted to eat.
After two months, Stewart introduced Miracle to other bears so they could learn from one another. She avoided any direct contact with Miracle and the other bears. Stewart wanted to make sure they stayed afraid of humans so they could go back into the wild again. She always hid behind a fence and threw food over the top secretly. The bears hunted for this food as they would soon do in the wild.
Five months later, Rick Eastridge returned to pick up a healthy 90 pound Miracle and another bear from Arkansas named Rocky. Eastridge loaded the bears into boxes on his truck and transported them back to the wild. As soon as the bear boxes were opened, the two cubs ran for the woods─where they belonged.
1．What did Stewart do shortly after the cub arrived
A．She helped him eat food.
B．She contacted with him.
C．She settled him down.
D．She named him Miracle.
2．Why was a toy bear given to Miracle
A．To remind him not to waste his food.
B．To kill his lonely time in his house.
C．To develop his skills of making friends.
D．To rid Miracle of its fear of humans.
3．Why did Stewart always give food to Miracle in secret
A．Because he could learn how to find food in the wild.
B．Because he was too weak to be frightened by humans.
C．Because a good relationship could be developed.
D．Because she didn't want to disturb his peaceful life.
4．What is the best title for this passage
A. An Unusual Bear
B. The Growth of Miracle
C. Rescuing Miracle
D. Contacting Miracle

Ⅲ.读后续写
My heart beat wildly as I stared at my phone screen. I reread the message from my friend, Jane. Someone had upset her by sharing her personal news: she had been refused by her dream school. Jane had shared the sad news with only a few people. She didn't know who let the word out, but she was really hurt and disappointed.
I felt so bad. I knew how the news had gotten out because I had been the one to tell someone beyond her closest friends. Honestly, I hadn't realized she meant to keep it so close to only a few in the first place, but at the same time I'd known it wasn't a good idea when I started to tell it to someone else.
Did she really not know it was me It would have been easy to admit what I had done and apologize if her message put the blame, specifically, on me. But it read as though it had been copied and sent to several people. Once again ignoring the right choice, I chose the coward's(懦夫) way out instead.
“I'm so sorry for what happened to you，” I typed. “How awful that your confidence was broken！”
I hoped that would work. Her reply came back within seconds: “Thank you.”
“It would be okay for me to remain anonymous(匿名), wouldn't it？” I thought to myself.
But, deep down, I knew I'd been the one to break faith and hurt her. I was ashamed, not only of my original action, but also because I'd taken a further step in the wrong direction by covering it up.
I felt painful at church on Sunday, sitting in silence all the time. Later, the speaker asked us to examine ourselves and see if anything stood in the way of holding on to our faith, and if so, not to let anything stop us until we cleared it away. Chancing it all — whatever we feared, whatever held us back — would be worth it to make it right.
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。

Iknewwhatstoodbetweenmeandtherightthing: myimage. That was exactly what I feared if I told Jane the truth. I could picture the disappointed look on her face, but what I feared more was the possibility that she would tell others I was that gossiper. Holding the phone in sweating hands, I kept tossing and turning in bed, at a loss about which on earth matters more: preserving my image or telling the truth After a sleepless night, I pulled up my courage to speak out the truth, since my so called image would be just a lie if I remained silent.
Thenextday, IwentstraighttoJane. I first admitted that I had been the one to break faith and hurt her, and then how I had chosen not to come forward when I had the chance. Feeling ashamed and regretful, I said sorry and didn't dare to look Jane into the eye, ready for any harsh words from her, which I totally deserved. To my great surprise, she gave me a hug as a token of forgiveness, saying my confession meant a lot to her. What a relief it was to clear the shame and restore the faith. We parted that day on good terms and are still friends. Never before in my life had I so firmly believed honesty is the best policy.

[2022·河北衡水模拟]Snow leopards(豹) are so hard to photograph that scientists aren't even sure how many of these endangered animals still live in the wild.
The Snow Leopard Conservancy(SLC)set up 20 cameras in Russia in 2010 to learn more about the big cats. After a full six months, they had exactly zero picture! That's when the organization understood they needed help. And the only people who could help them in finding the leopards were the very people from whom they wanted to protect the animals—local hunters(猎人).
Hunting snow leopards is against the law in Russia, but in the terrible climate of Siberia, the few people living there had to turn to poaching(盗猎)to feed their families.
In 2013, Russian naturalist Sergei Spitsyn approached Mergen Markov, a local hunter, and told him his project. Markov agreed to set up the camera where he knew he would find leopards, and it worked.
Markov, once a poacher, works full time for the conservationists now and has 10 cameras monitoring leopards. “I visit each camera once a month. I have known this whole region since I was a child, ” he said proudly.
The World Wildlife Fund(WWF)began working with other local villagers in 2015. The villager would be paid 40, 000 rubles at the end of the year if the image of a snow leopard is caught. WWF also rents horses from the villagers so that they do not need to make money by poaching anymore. “Today there are far fewer leopard poachers but leopards still get caught in traps set for other animals, so I have to stay watchful, ” said Markov.
Changing guns for cameras has made a big difference in the lives of these former poachers, the village, and the Russian snow leopards. The number of snow leopards has been rising and their population is expected to recover to normal levels within 10 years.
1．Why was no picture of snow leopards taken in six months
A．SLC's 20 cameras failed to work properly.
B．The number of snow leopards in the wild was too small.
C．The local poachers destroyed these cameras on purpose.
D．The researchers knew little about the animal's living habits.
2．What did Sergei Spitsyn persuade Markov to do
A．Find the poachers.
B．Repair cameras in the forest.
C．Catch more leopards.
D．Work for SLC.
3．Why did the WWF begin working with local villagers
A．To get some pictures of snow leopards.
B．To help villagers make a living.
C．To prevent villagers from hunting animals.
D．To rent their horses at a low price.
4．How can we describe the WWF's cooperation with the villagers
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．Curiosity kills the cat.
C．Kill two birds with one stone.
D．Old habits die hard.

A young British sailor was missing at sea yesterday in similar circumstances(情况)to the way his father died five years ago.
The dinghy(救生橡皮船), used to take Richard Smith, 21, to his yacht(快艇), was discovered empty, floating in seas off the Caribbean island. An air and sea search was carried out but he has still not been discovered.
Richard's mother, Bicknell, said from her home in Hampshire, “It's so much coincidence. Richard always carried a photograph of his father attached to a poem, which included the date of his disappearance.”
Now, it's very strange because all they have found is Richard's dinghy. We need to know this time what has happened one way or another. If you know at least you can go through the grieving process.
In November 1996, Mr Smith's father, Charlie, was sailing in the Tasmen sea between the Australian mainland and the island of Tasmen with his new wife. They lost radio contact with the shore and they, together with their yacht were never seen again, and their disappearance remains a mystery.
Richard is described as a talented and experienced sailor who has crewed for the champion ocean racer. He had sailed to the Caribbean in November to crew ocean racing yachts for entertainment. He ended the evening drinking in the Abracbabra bar but left after local police closed it for being too noisy.
About 2 am the following day Richard headed back for his dinghy. He started its outboard motor before giving an elderly woman a lift to her yacht after her dinghy had gone missing. It was the last time he was seen.
5．Richard Smith was ________ in 2000.
A．ten B．fifteen
C．twenty D．eighteen
6．People searched for Richard using ________．
A．ship only B．ship and radio
C．ship and plane D．yacht and car
7．Why did Richard disappear
A．Because he was a green hand in sailing.
B．Because some unknown animal attacked him.
C．Because there was a maze in the area he was sailing.
D．It still remained a mystery.
8．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．A story about two heroes.
B．A piece of news about a merchant ship.
C．A coincidence.
D．The dying process of Richard.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。雪豹保护协会为了了解野外生活条件下雪豹的数量，架设摄像机来拍摄雪豹的照片，却失败了，于是他们决定与当地的猎人合作，同时猎人也会从中获得报酬。以这种方式，猎人由原来的偷猎者成为了动物的保护者，他们不仅改善了自己的生活状况，同时雪豹的数量也增加了。
1．答案与解析：B 推理判断题。从文章第一段Snow leopards are so hard to photograph that scientists aren't even sure how many of these endangered animals still live in the wild. 可以推断，因为属于濒危动物，说明数量非常少。故雪豹保护组织在六个月内没有抓拍到一张它们的照片。
2．答案与解析：D 细节理解题。从文章第四段In 2013, Russian naturalist Sergei Spitsyn approached Mergen Markov, a local hunter, and told him his project...及第五段的Markov, once a poacher, works full time for the conservationists now and has 10 cameras monitoring leopards.可知，Sergei Spitsyn说服了Markov为他的项目工作。
3．答案与解析：A 细节理解题。从文章第六段中的The World Wildlife Fund(WWF)began working with other local villagers in 2015. The villager would be paid 40，000 rubles at the end of the year if the image of a snow leopard is caught.可知，世界野生动物基金会与当地的村民合作的目的是获取雪豹的图像。
4．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。文章第六段及最后一段介绍了世界野生动物基金会和当地猎人的合作的良好效果，旨在说明这种做法不仅改善了当地猎人的生活，同时也保护了濒危的雪豹，是一举两得的事，故Kill two birds with one stone符合语篇内容。
