As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification. “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts (干旱) have led to an estimated 75 per cent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilisers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi consolidated her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September 2016, more than 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 per cent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
24. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A. They made her decide to leave the country.
B. They fired her enthusiasm for helping others.
C. They helped her better understand her father.
D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
25. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland
A. Forest damage. B. Soil pollution.
C. Cold weather. D. Low rainfall.
26. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia
A. To facilitate the protection of their farmland.
B. To help the children obtain a basic education.
C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.
D. To create job opportunities for young people.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Saving Water in Tunisia B. Planting Trees of Native Species
C. Holding back the Sahara D. Fighting Poverty in North Africa
C
For years, David James, who studies insects at Washington State University, had wanted to examine the migration (迁徙) patterns of West Coast monarch butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶). The route the butterflies travel has been hardly known because the populations are too small to follow. For every 200 monarchs tagged (打标签) by a researcher, only one is usually recovered at the end of its trip, James says, and finding even 200 in the wild to tag is unlikely. Knowing the route is vital to conservation efforts, but James had no way to figure it out – until he got a phone call from Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla.
The prison was looking for new activities to improve the mental health of those serving long-term sentences. So James began working with prisoners to raise monarchs through the whole process of their transformation. The adult insects were then tagged and released from the prison. Over five years, nearly 10,000 monarchs flew from the facility. Elsewhere in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, researchers released another few thousand.
The tags included email addresses, and soon after the first butterflies took off, James started receiving messages from people who had spotted them. The butterflies, the reports confirmed, wintered in coastal California. Twelve of them landed at Lighthouse Field State Beach in Santa Cruz. Several more headed to Bolinas and Morro Bay.
The work helps researchers identify ideal places to plant milkweed and other vegetation that are important to the life cycle of West Coast monarch butterflies. It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners. “They were very worried that they were going to harm the butterflies,” James says. Watching the monarch change their form also touched the men. “This butterfly changed,” James recalls prisoners telling him, “and maybe we can too.”
28. What was hard for David to do in his study
A. Find enough monarchs.
B. Hire qualified workers.
C. Build a new laboratory.
D. Gain financial support.
29. Why are the butterflies tagged before being released
A. To distinguish them from other species.
B. To enable them to fly longer distances.
C. To guarantee their safety.
D. To track their travel routes.
30. What makes the prisoners feel that they can change
A. The patience the butterflies showed.
B. The transformation of the butterflies.
C. The hardship the butterflies underwent.
D. The devotion of James to the butterflies.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The release of the prisoners.
B. The findings of James’ study.
C. The impact of the research.
D. The life cycle of the butterflies.
D
We all know that unpleasant feeling when we’re talking about something interesting and halfway through our sentence we’re interrupted. But was that really an interruption The answer depends on whom you ask, according to new research led by Katherine Hilton from Stanford University.
Using a set of controlled audio clips (录音片段), Hilton surveyed 5,000 American English speakers to better understand what affects people’s perceptions of interruptions. She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions about whether the speakers seemed to be friendly and engaged, listening to one another, or trying to interrupt.
Hilton found that American English speakers have different conversational styles. She identified two distinct groups: high and low intensity speakers. High intensity speakers are generally uncomfortable with moments of silence in conversation and consider talking at the same time a sign of engagement. Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same time and prefer people speak one after another in conversation.
The differences in conversational styles became evident when participants listened to audio clips in which two people spoke at the same time but were agreeing with each other and stayed on topic, Hilton said. The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns. In contrast, the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous (同时) chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying.
“People care about being interrupted, and those small interruptions can have a massive effect on the overall communication,” Hilton said. “Breaking apart what an interruption means is essential if we want to understand how humans interact with each other.”
32. What does Hilton’s research focus on
A. How to avoid getting interrupted.
B. Whether interruption is good or not.
C. What interruptions mean to people.
D. Why speakers interrupt each other.
33. What do participants of the study need to do
A. Answer some questions.
B. Record an audio clip.
C. Listen to one another.
D. Have a chat with a friend.
34. What do low intensity speakers think of simultaneous chat
A. It’s important. B. It’s impolite.
C. It’s inefficient. D. It’s interesting.
35. What can we learn from Hilton’s research
A. Language barriers will always exist.
B. Communication is the basis of life.
C. Interruptions promote thinking.
D. Human interaction is complex.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
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。
There has been a very serious decline in the numbers of shallow-water fish as a result of overfishing. People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic. 36.
Conservation measures will have to be put in place if these deep-sea fish are to survive. Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent. __37. Many species could well disappear completely if the present trend continues. These are species that have been swimming in our oceans for hundreds of millions of years.
The problem is emphasized by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less than twenty years. Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years.
__38. The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.
___39. The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.
The damage done by overfishing goes beyond the sea environment. Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry. 40. Measures must be taken to not only conserve ecosystems, but also sustain livelihoods and ensure food security.
A. Unfortunately, their reproduction rate is very low.
B. This puts them in the category of “critically endangered”.
C. Billions of people rely on fish for protein.
D. None of these facts has been taken into account by the fishing industry.
E. Many people now choose not to eat deep-sea fish.
F. This has resulted in a sharp decline in the numbers of many of the species caught.
G. Overfishing is a major cause of decline in populations of ocean wildlife.

62.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。
My husband and I enjoy seeing life through the eyes of our children. It’s amazing to watch as they discover their world.
While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel.
We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait – and looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother – we realized the tiny squirrel was lost.
Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order.
More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean (断奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own.
Our daughters and I took turns in feeding “Squirt.” Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds.
To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter (吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn’t long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild.
His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaytlin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material.
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。
One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels.______________________________

七选五【答案】36-40 FBADC
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了由于过度捕捞浅水鱼类的数量已经严重下降，以及由此导致的后果。
【36题详解】
根据上文“People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic.”（人们仍然想吃鱼，因此渔业必须寻找其他来源，特别是大西洋的深水区）推知，选项承接上文说明以上做法导致的不良影响。故F选项“这导致许多被捕获物种的数量急剧下降”切题。故选F项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent.”（对五种这样的物种的研究表明，数量下降了87%到98%）可知，数量下降到了一定程度，我们便称为它们为“极度濒危”物种。故B选项“这使得它们被归为“极度濒危”物种”切题，this指代上文提到的“numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent.”。故选B项。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years.”（深海鱼类需要很长时间繁殖，通常可以活很多年）根据下文“The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.”（这些鱼的平均尺寸也在下降，其中一个物种的平均尺寸下降了57%。这一点值得特别关注，因为大鱼往往比小鱼生育更多的后代）可知，选项承接上下文说明深海鱼类的繁殖率非常低。故A选项“不幸的是，它们的繁殖率非常低”切题。故选A项。
【39题详解】
根据下文“The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.”（深海鱼类被捕获，仿佛它们是沙丁鱼和鲱鱼等快速繁殖的鱼类。这就像把大象当作繁殖速度飞快的兔子杀死一样）可知，渔业忽略了一些物种繁殖速度慢的事实。故D选项“渔业没有考虑到这些事实”故选D项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry.”（数百万人以渔业为生）可知，选项与上文为并列关系，说明渔业对人的重要作用。故C选项“数十亿人依赖鱼类获取蛋白质”切题。故选C项。

【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意：你不会相信我们已经取得的成功。修饰名词用冠词，根据句意此处特指“我们已经取得的成功”，故填the。
【63题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：令我们吃惊的是，那个修理工是我们第一批无家可归的学生之一。根据上文的“a couple of weeks ago”可知，此处讲述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时，且主语the repairman是第三人称单数，谓语动词用单数，故填was。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意：他免费修理了我们的空调。for free“免费地”是固定短语，根据句意，故填for。
【65题详解】
考查代词。句意：我想我也可以自己报名参加空调课。分析句子并根据句意可知，空处与主语指同一人，故用反身代词作状语，故填myself。

参考范文1
Paragraph 1: One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels.
At first, Squirt was hesitant, but he soon realized that they were friendly and he started to play with them. The girls and I watched in amazement as he chased them up and down the tree trunks and branches. Kaytlin was thrilled to see Squirt making friends and becoming more confident. We knew that this was a great sign and that he was ready to be on his own.
Paragraph 2: One night, Squirt didn't come back to our house and it rained hard.
We were worried about him and thought that he might have gotten lost again, but the next morning he appeared at the door, soaking wet and shivering. Kaytlin took him in and dried him off, and we all breathed a sigh of relief. Over the next few days, Squirt started coming back to visit us less and less, until finally he stopped coming altogether. Although we missed him, we knew that this was a good thing and that he was finally able to live his life in the wild, where he belonged. We will always remember the time we spent with Squirt and the lessons we learned about the importance of taking care of our wildlife.
