Let me start by stating that I am an osprey.As with many in the human population,I spend a great deal
of time near the shores and coastlines.Now,many of my fellow wild creatures have asked me to communicate
with you on a matter of great importance.We need your help.
It has come to our attention that all of our lives could become endangered by your government.One of
the most protective wildlife laws ever put into action is about to be severely weakened:the Endangered
Species Act.
We know this would be a disastrous mistake.We had a frightening brush with extinction from the 1950s
to the 1970s.Humans realized that chemical poisons such as DDT were causing our eggshells to thin.Other
flying species were dying off,too.In 1973,when they were prohibited according to the Act,our population
recovered,but it was not easy and not immediate.
The law also protected scores of other animals and plants.It helped save your national symbol,the bald
eagle(秃鹰 ),from extinction.It allowed for the re-introduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park to
restore a natural balance to that ecosystem.Right now,the law protects more than 1,600 species in the United
States.Do you really think it is a good idea to weaken it
Your government is engaged in some very dangerous,short-term and nonscientific thinking
Apparently,it is more economically accountable.That means if saving our lives involves larger possible
economic losses,our lives and the stability of all of the multiple ecosystems of which we are a part will be
ignored.This will not result in healthy,stable and sustainable ecosystems,
which are what we all need to survive.Please help us and help yourselves.Keep the Endangered Species
Act unbroken.
24.Which once made ospreys in danger
A.The passing of a wildlife law.
B.The occupation of other species.
C.The slow process of reproduction.
D.The using of a poisonous substance.
25.How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed
A.By analyzing results.
C.By following time order
26.What does the last paragraph intend to say
A.The Act is not perfect.
B.The ecosystem is weak
C.Economy is worsening gradually.
D.The government is lacking in vision.
27.What is the“osprey”doing in the text
A.Making a request.
C.Proposing a solution.
B.By giving examples.
D.By making comparisons.
B.Delivering a speech.
D.Declaring determination.
C
Teaching middle-school children about climate change may be one of the most important things we can
do to save the planet.It's those kids who have the most potential,
according to a new study
It's at this developmental age that students can master complex concepts like climate change and
remain open to new ideas,the researchers say.Middle school is usually when we
start to figure out how we really feel about the world and to form our own opinions.
The researchers carried out an experiment with students in North Carolina.They gave specialized
climate change training to middle school teachers,sharing lessons that would specifically encourage the kids
to interact with their parents and talk about the topic.Research has shown that lessons on climate change that
have the most impact typically frame the topic around something you can often see or experience,so.the
lessons were focused on these themes,such as how the environment relates to animals or how an
individual can directly affect the environment.
The researchers divided the students into two groups:a control group that didn't get the specialized
lessons and an experiment group who did.They also surveyed parents before,
during and after the program,following these groups for two years.
After the program,the 357 students who got the special lessons and their parents showed a larger
change in their level of concern about climate change than the 224 students who did not get the training.The
357 kids,the study found,can best reach adults and encourage them to act to fight climate change,regardless
of their parents’ political beliefs.In fact,the researchers found this method has the greatest impact on the
people who are
otherwise hardest to convince:conservative(保守的)males.
“Ireally think it is very timely and really speaks to the fact that we have to prepare kids for climate
change,”said study author Danielle Lawson.“Immediate action is key.We
have about 12 years to take action together to keep the global average temperature from rising 1.5
degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels.Beyond that critical point,climate change will have done permanent
damage.”
28.Why do middle schoolers have the most potential
A.They are free from wrong ideas.
B.They like to deal with complexity.
C.They are interested in the outside world.
D.They are at an age to form their own views.
29.How can we describe the lesson topic
A.Challenging.B.Familiar.C.Charming D.Limited.
30.What did the study find
A.People's political beliefs are hard to change.
B.The 357 kids are good at communication skills.
C.Kids receiving the lessons influence their parents more.
D.No method but this one can convince conservative males.
31.What can be inferred from Danielle Lawson
A.We have enough time to take action.
B.It's urgent to deal with climate change
C.The kids can solve the future climate challenge
D.We can do nothing about global warming after 2034.

Maitland Jones Jr.is one of the nation's top organic chemistry professors.He taught the subject for
decades,first at Princeton and then at New York University,and wrote an influential textbook.He received
awards for his teaching,as well as recognition as one of NYU's coolest
professors.
But last spring,as the campus emerged from pandemic restrictions,82 of his 350 students signed a
petition(请愿书)against him.Students said the course-negatively known for ending many students'dream of
medical school-was too hard,blaming Dr.Jones for their poor test scores.“We are very concerned about our
scores,and find that they are not an accurate reflection of the time and effort put into this class,”the petition
said.“A class with such a high percentage of withdrawals and low grades has failed to make students'learning
and well-being a priority and reflects poorly on the chemistry department.”
Dr.Jones,84,who pioneered a new method of instruction that relied more on problem solving,defended
his standards.“Students were misreading exam questions at an astonishing rate,”he wrote to the
university.Grades fell even as he reduced the difficulty of his exams.After several years of Covid learning
loss,the students not only didn't study,they didn't seem to know how to study.
The officials decided to end the contract with Jones and offered the students a chance to review their
grades and withdraw from the class.
The university's handling of the petition set off equal and opposite reactions from both the
chemistry professors and pro-Jones students.“They are obviously going for some bottom line,and they
want happy students who are saying great things about the university so more people apply and the
U.S.News rankings keep going higher,”said Paramjit Arora,a chemistry professor.
“I don't want my job back,”Dr.Jones said,adding that he had planned to retire soon anyway.“I just want
to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else.”
32.What is the first paragraph mainly about
A.Jones's secret to success.
B.Jones's ignorance of awards
C.Jones's fruitful teaching career
D.Jones's recognition of fellow professors.
33.What is the main concern from the 82 students
A.A sharp decrease in study time.
B.The department development.
C.School pandemic restrictions.
D.Their academic performance
34.Why did the NYU dismiss Jones according to Paramjit Arora
A.To satisfy the students.
B.To make the headlines.
C.To follow the college rule
D.To warn the other professors.
35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Who Was to Blame
B.How to Treat Teachers
C.What's Wrong with Students
D.Where to Get a Better Education

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
。
Do you remember what it is like to be a kid 36.Wake up.Get dressed.Brush your teeth.Eat your
breakfast.Get in the car.Go to school.Sometimes kids listen to the instructions,but sometimes they
don't.And when they don't,that can be very depressing for parents.So how can parents get their kids to
act accordingly
One strategy widely recommended by children's health professionals is to engage your child
in“special time”.For at least 5 minutes a day,join your child in activities like playing with dolls-anything
that doesn't have a right or wrong way to play.Don't ask questions or give commands.37.It gives your
child a chance to interact with you without the stress of having to follow directions,which in turn
strengthens the bond between you.
Research has shown that this kind of playtime can be helpful in treating disruptive(捣乱的)conduct
in children.According to a 2017 review of literature,special time has long been
regarded as an“effective prevention for many emotional and behavioral difficulties”since it was
developed in the 1970s.38.
If you're ready to try special time with your child,keep these in your mind.Repeat back some of
what they say.If they say“and it crashes,”you're going to say“and it crashes.”The repetition shows
your child you understand them and that you're listening.39.Rather than saying“good job,”because
kids hear that all day long,say“I love the way you stack(堆) those blocks high.”
40.But give it a week or two,and you'll find that your child won't want it to end.The best way to
find out if something is good or successful is to test it yourself.
A.This is your child's time to be in charge.
B.So much of the day is directed by adults.
C.Show enthusiasm while playing with your child.
D.The practice often feels awkward for adults at first.
E.Give your child specific praise as you play together.
F.It increases the closeness between your child and you.
G.It's also been shown to boost concentration and social skills in children.

China's Zhurong rover(火星车)has found evidence suggesting that water existed on Mars
for much longer than expected.
Zhurong landed in a large plain on Mars on May 15,2021.Since then it has been exploring
its landing site and sending information 56(constant)back to the Tianwen-1 orbiter
circling the planet.
Data 57(collect)by the rover shows that the plain contained water during a time
58 many experts believed Mars to be dry and cold.
“59 came as a surprise to us researchers that at the landing site we found some minerals
60(indicate)water activities,”said Yang Liu,a researcher at the Chinese
Academy of Sciences.“Previous observations didn't uncover the signature of these minerals.”
The minerals are contained within bright-colored rocks and these rocks make up a hard
surface.The surface can form when a substantial amount 61 water evaporates(蒸发)
The discovery of the hard surface suggests that the plain 62(have)active water circles
millions of years ago.
The rover will carry out a 63(far)exploration in the plain in the following period of time
64(gain)more insights about the history of water in the region.The plain has been of interest to
65(scientist)because some guess the region once hosted an ocean.

“I hope Santa will bring me the doll for Christmas,”Jenna Lee whispered.She and I
pressed up our faces to the toy store window that separated us from the doll inside.
Jenna was my neighbor.She and her family had only arrived from South Carolina a few
months ago,without her father.I didn't know the particulars,only that they were under difficult
circumstances.Mum often gave them some necessities and comforted her mother.
“It's Chatty Cathy doll.If you pull the string on her neck,she'll talk to you,”I explained.
“She can say 11 things like'Ilove you'and‘Tell me a story.””
“I've never seen anything like her,”Jenna said,rubbing(擦)the glass window with one
finger.“She would be nearly as good as having a real live friend like you.”
Chatty Cathy was on every girl's Santa list.But I didn't tell Jenna what I knew for a
fact:Santa wasn't real.Knowing the truth about Santa did have one advantage.It gave me the idea to
search the house for presents that might be hidden away for me until Christmas morning.In fact,deep
in the back ofmum's closet(衣橱)I'd found my Chatty Cathy doll.On Christmas morning.
she would be mine!I could hardly wait.Until then,Chatty Cathy would remain my secret.
“She's the only thing I wrote down on my list for Christmas.What's on your list this year ”
I asked Jenna,
“I don't make lists,”said Jenna,her eyes never leaving Chatty Cathy's face.“We're grateful for
whatever Santa leaves in our stockings(长袜).I just hope Santa can find us this
year.”
“Santa knows everything,”I comforted her.Walking home,I thought about what Jenna had
said about being grateful.My mum always told me to be grateful for whatever happened.Now I was
grateful for having a Chatty Cathy doll in her pink and orange box,just waiting for me to
open her up on Christmas morning.The thought of it made me burst with excitement.
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。
On Christmas morning,my family and Igathered around the tree.
Jenna skipped into my house with a Chatty Cathy when I was seated in the sofa

A dish for my family
Every time I taste the dishes made by my mother, I’m always overwhelmed by the love in
them. I think I should do something for my family as well.
This Saturday, I will make carrot and fish soup for my mother and father. Their screen
time has led to blurred vision and eye strain. Carrots are said to be an excellent source
of vitamin, which is good for eyes. Fish is a healthy food, rich in essential nutrients
like protein.
I can’t imagine how happy my mother and father will be when the dish is served
