About 230 whales beached themselves on the western part of the Australian island of Tasmania. It is the second such incident in recent days. At least half are alive and animal officials are working to rescue them. They are trying to understand why the whales got stuck.
The whales are stuck on Ocean Beach near Macquarie Harbor in the western part of Tasmania. About two years ago, 470 whales became stuck on sand in the same area. That time, about 100 whales were saved but the rest died.
The whales are pilot whales, which weigh between 1,000 and 2,000 kilograms and measure over 6 meters. Pilot whales are the species that most often get stuck in large numbers. Some scientists believe it is because they travel in large groups and follow a leader.
A team from the Marine Conservation Program was heading to the area to help the whales. The harbor does not have deep water and its entrance is known by locals as Hell’s Gate.
Linton Kringle is a salmon farmer who once helped with the rescue in 2020. He told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation this year’s work would be more difficult. That time, he said that the whales were in the harbor, so people could reach them easily on boats. This time, they are outside of the safe area, on a beach, which means it will be harder to get boats near them. “It’s too shallow (浅的) and too rough. My thoughts would be to try to get them onto a vehicle if we can’t get them swim out,” Kringle added.
Vanessa Pirotta is a wildlife scientist who studies animals like whales and dolphins. She said the fact that the whales have gotten stuck around the same place during the same part of the year, suggesting there might be something environmental here.
24. What puzzles animal officials most
A. The number of beached whales. B. The cause of whales’ beaching.
C. The times of whales’ beaching. D. The way to rescue beached whales.
25. What can make pilot whales suffer beaching in large numbers
A. Their group travel habits. B. Their heavy weights.
C. Their poor eyesight. D. Their long bodies.
26. Why does Linton Kringle consider this year’s rescue work to be more difficult
A. There aren’t so many rescue workers.
B. The entrance is known as Hell’s Gate.
C. Making them swim back to the sea is almost impossible.
D. The whales in danger are too far away to reach by boat.
27. What is the purpose of this text
A. To introduce pilot whales.
B. To call on people to protect whales.
C. To recommend a suitable rescue method.
D. To tell an incident about whales’ beaching.
C
It is very important to stay healthy. A lot of people aren’t aware of many benefits of daily exercise and only begin to do so when health complications (并发症) happen. Why then is it important to stay healthy
Regular exercises will help you burn extra body fat and keep your body vigorous. There are many health complications related to having too much body fat. Heart diseases that are often very deadly are mostly a result of extra body fat.
Exercising keeps you sharp at all times. Keeping your body active also improves the functioning of the brain. Any kind of exercise is terrific. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good health, such as, basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too. There is a reason why most athletes are usually happy. Maybe the reason why you stay angry easily all the time is due to lack of exercise.
Fitness exercises are ideal for strength building. Regular daily exercise will build body muscles and improve your physical strength. They are also important in strengthening your back for good postures. People generally become less active as they grow older, especially when they have small kids that expect to play with them. Daily fitness will help you get the much needed strength and activity to keep up with the youthful energy of your children. Exercising also slows down the aging process by tightening your skin and increasing your body’s metabolic (新陈代谢的) rate.
Exercising is very important and some of the results of not joining in daily fitness are dangerous. Having fitness goals that actually mean something to you will help you develop a controlled daily fitness and achieve your desired result. These are just some of the benefits of having a strong fitness program. Many people ignore them and just begin to suffer from lifestyle diseases in their later lives. Exercise is very significant.
28. What can we learn from paragraph 1
A. Lots of people are too busy to exercise.
B. Lots of people are used to staying quiet.
C. Lots of people keep exercising when they are sick.
D. Lots of people don’t realize the advantages of daily exercise.
29. What does underlined word “vigorous” mean in paragraph 2
A. Fit. B. Thin. C. Young. D. Graceful.
30. What will happen to us if we do daily exercise
A. We can’t get ill. B. We will eat more food.
C. We will become beautiful. D. We can become energetic.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. What do people think about keeping fit
B. Why is exercise significant to keep fit
C. What kind of exercise are good for health
D. Why do people go to gymnasium to exercise
D
A seven-word sentence was discovered on a 3,700-year-old comb (梳子), which is likely the oldest known sentence written in letters, according to a new study. The sentence is in Canaanite (迦南语), which is the source (来源) of later letter systems in European languages.
The comb was first discovered in 2016 in Israeli. However, it wasn’t until 2021 that a researcher from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem first noticed the words when checking the photo of the comb. The researchers were not able to directly date the comb. They believed it dated from around 1700 BC based on comparison of the letters with those on pottery (陶器) with a known age.
Garfinkel, a professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said, “The Canaanites invented the letters. Nowadays every person in the world can read and write using the letter system. This is really one of the most important achievements of humankind. When you are writing in English, you’re really using Canaanite.”
Small groups of Canaanite letters discovered on broken pieces of pottery before did not leave much room for further research on the lives of the Canaanites. But this find of a sentence written in the first letter-based language opens up the debate about the history during the ancient time period.
Garfinkel said, “The sentence was found on an ivory comb in the ancient city’s palace and temple area, which could suggest that only wealthy men were able to read and write.” The earliest writing system started around 5,000 years ago, which relied on hundreds of pictographs (象形文字) to represent words, ideas and sounds. Canaanites were the first to use letters in their writing system. “It shows that even in the most ancient times there were full sentences, which further suggests that Canaanites stood out among the early civilizations in their use of the written word.”
32. What do we know about Canaanite
A. It has a history of 3,700 years. B. It is the oldest known language.
C. Its letters are still in use at present. D. Its sentences are in many languages.
33. How was the complete sentence in Canaanite found
A. It was discovered on some pottery.
B. It was identified on a comb in 2016.
C. It was recognized on a photo of the comb.
D. It was recognized when dating the comb.
34. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on
A. The influence of Canaanite letters.
B. The rules of using Canaanite letters.
C. The problem in identifying the Canaanite sentence.
D. The explanation of the discovered Canaanite sentence.
35. What does Garfinkel think of the new discovery in the last paragraph
A. Useless. B. Meaningful. C. Confusing. D. Unacceptable.
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。
If you’re worried about being a self-centered person, that concern shows you’ve already taken an important step towards change. 36
Focus on listening instead of talking. Give others your full attention and really hear them out. Self-centered people often make conversations center around themselves and they tend to get bored when the focus isn’t on them. 37 Give others a chance to speak their minds and do your best to show that you’re really listening.
38 Imagining yourself in their situation helps you understand them better. If your friend is telling you about something that happened to him or her and you just don’t feel engaged (吸引住), it can help to imagine how you would feel in his or her situation. Try asking yourself how you would feel and what you would need if you were him or her. Then, keep those things in mind when you respond to your friend.
Use fewer “I” and “me” statements. Fight the strong wish to talk about yourself in every conversation. It’s an easy habit to get into, but you can’t focus on anyone else if you’re always talking about yourself. Try to actively reduce the number of “I” and “me” statements you make in daily conversation. Studies show that talking about yourself less often can make you happier and healthier. 39
Learn how to compromise (妥协). 40 Compromising means choosing to believe another person’s needs and desires are just as important as your own. Instead of demanding your way during a disagreement comes, try meeting the other person halfway so that each person gets some of their needs met.
A. Let someone else be in charge.
B. Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
C. If this sounds familiar to you, you can break that habit.
D. If there are other solutions, don’t always have to add yours.
E. Self-centered people want everything to go their way all the time.
F. Try reminding yourself to do that when you are not having a good time.
G. Change can be tough, but there are still useful tips you need on this journey.

That was pretty 53 . I could just feel the race record slipping away.”
But finally Payne 54 it with a strong will. She received the cheers of the crowd when approaching Antigua. She could hear the 55 from her family and friends waiting for her.

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。
The M1 highway was closed down in both directions due to flooding, leaving thousands of vehicles stuck on the spot. Several hundred had been stuck for at least 30 hours since the road was cut at about 7.30 am on Monday.
Unluckily, I was one of the people who were waiting for help. There are almost 100 vehicles trapped on the road about 800 meters long. And one benefit was that there was a short road tunnel (隧道) that had provided shelter from the pouring rain as well as some lighting after nightfall. So how people have felt depended on how well they stored food. I was totally in trouble because of lacking food. I heard someone knocking on my window while I was worrying about my situation.
A man, who was driving a truck full of raw (生的) chicken leaving for downtown, opened his truck’s door and shared the chicken around by dinner time on Monday. This was a thriving community of shared resources and resourcefulness, where the truck driver dished out food that had been ordered for supermarkets. And others helped to cook the raw chicken by the tool which were found in their cars.
I took the chicken from the truck driver and, after expressing my thanks, I lost in thought: how do I cook this chicken Just as I was looking around in confusion, a girl not far away waved to me, “Come over here, we have cooked meat.” “No, thanks,” I replied casually. But I was so hungry that I couldn’t help but walk over to her with the chicken. She took the chicken from my hand, cleaned it and put it on the grill (烧烤架). I was impressed by her masterful way. After a while, some meat was cooked and I took the meat she handed to me.
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。
As I got the hot chicken, I was filled with gratitude. I carefully wrote down the phone number of Catherine, the girl who had helped me so much during the wait.

On a stormy night, I was alone at home. After finishing my homework, I was about to go to bed. When I turned off the light, I saw a scary shadow figure at my window. Suddenly there was a flash of lightning followed by thunderstorms. I saw a lion’s face at the window. I was so scared that I ran to my bed and hid myself under the blanket. I started to shout, “Mom, Dad...”, but there was no answer. Then I remembered they went to hospital to accompany my sick grandfather. The clock struck 12. I tried to sleep, but I couldn’t. I felt too frightened because my mind was full of scary thoughts. After some time passed, I fell asleep at last. I woke up only after eight in the morning and switched on the TV news. It turned out that the lion in our local zoo escaped at 11 last night and I was excited to hear that the lion had already been trapped at 6 o’clock in the early morning by the keepers of the zoo. I felt very much relieved after the news. At breakfast, I told my parents what I had seen last night. My parents were also frightened and they promised that they would never leave me at home alone.

As I got the hot chicken, I was filled with gratitude. Bending my head and taking a smell of the food, I felt I was eating the most delicious food in the world. Getting out of my car, I found a great number of people, eating, talking and smiling happily. Those receiving food said “thank you” again and again to those who gave. People were talking so friendly and warmly as if they had known each other for many years. Some people even exchanged phone numbers and addresses.
I carefully wrote down the phone number of Catherine, the girl who had helped me so much during the wait. She was not that experienced in cooking, but she was very warm-hearted. I felt ashamed and touched to see her moving nimbly through the crowded traffic to help others. Finally, with the help of some firemen and traffic police, all the cars left safely. Then I called her on the phone. After a short talk, I expressed the idea of inviting her to my home for dinner. She readily agreed, and I was very happy.
