Marvelous Scenic Walks Near London
There are plenty of walking routes in London. If you fancy something a bit more rural, then the green and pleasant land has plenty to offer.
Goring Gap and the Thames Path
If you’re in the mood for a gentle rural walk, the Thames Path is far from boring. The 5-mile footpath follows the curve of the river, winding past wildflower meadows (草地).
Post-walk pub: Pangbourne’s seventeenth-century pub The Swan serves high-end dishes. Bag a table on the riverside or keep toasty by one of its open fires.

To admire this spots rural views, first you’ve got to jump across 17 stepping stones and climb 272 steps to the top of Box Hill, where the path begins. The total distance is 6.8 miles.
Post-walk pub: The cavernous Tree on Box Hill has an attractive menu and huge beer garden, or sample a glass of Juniper Hill at Denbies Winerie.
A South Downs Ridge (山脊)
If you’ve already done the classic Seven Sisters clifftop walk or can’t face all those hills, this is a long but lovely alternative. The route covering 14.3 miles snakes along a ridge and a river valley.
Post-walk pub: There are always 10 real beers at the old-school pub The Wellington.
Chess Valley in the Chilterns
Chess Valley in the Chiltern Hills isn’t home to any chess masters, but it used to produce a kind of water plant. This walk of 4.9 miles follows the river, winding through rolling meadows and woods.

One year before, at age 18, Leszyeski had aged out of foster care (寄养中心), having been in the system since she was four when her single mother was no longer able to care for her. Leszyeski was now enrolled in college hoping to become a doctor. And the only furniture she had in her apartment was an air mattress with a hole in it.
Then she learned about an organization Chairity. The organization provides furniture and household goods for young adults who have left foster care. Leszyeski reached out to Charity, a nonprofit formed by 23-year-old Maria Paparella.
Paparella first became aware of foster care in elementary school when her parents were considering adopting a child. The plan didn't work out, but Paparella often found herself thinking about that child. “I'm really close with my family, and I just couldn't imagine being completely on my own at 18,” she says.
At 16, Paparella visited Summit County Children Services, with a list of questions, trying to understand what aging out looked like. One of her questions was “What's not being met for these young people ” Near the top of the list was furniture. “That struck home,” says Paparella. The idea of “moving into an apartment without a bed to sleep on or a sofa to sit on” pulled at her heartstrings.
Paparella contacted her parents' friends, asking if they had spare furniture to donate. A local furniture store offered free ware-house space and its delivery truck. Watching the recipients' faces when they received a bed, a couch — whatever — was amazing. Paparella remembers delivering a gold lamp to a woman and watching her polish it lovingly, getting rid of dirt and fingerprints.
Today, Chairity has given furniture to nearly 200 young adults in homes across six Ohio counties. Paparella is convinced these contributions give the recipients hope and confidence. Leszyeski agrees.“It makes me feel like I'm not different from other people. My whole life, I've felt abnormal,”she says,“Now, I feel normal.”
4. Which can best describe Leszyeski's life after leaving foster care
A. Tough but hopeful. B. Poor and aimless.
C Wealthy but boring. D. Independent and carefree.
5. Why did Paparella found Chairity
A. To get some financial benefits from it. B. To help those aging out of foster care.
C. To aid the needy couple adopt a child. D. To ask people to donate some couches.
6. When was Paparella most touched at the age of 16
A. Living without parents. B. Moving into a new house.
C. Getting free truck delivery. D. Visiting a foster care center.
7. What does Leszyeski think of Chairity
A. It changes young adults' whole life. B. It brings confidence to the recipients.
C. It has helped lots of homeless people. D. It makes people different from others.
C
Like the rest of us, scientists have long suspected the healing capacity (修复能力) of a good hug. Unlike the rest of us, they’ve gone about trying to prove it.
“Laboratory studies suggest that things like hugs help us feel safer. They can also make us less sensitive to physical pain and less reactive when we’re faced with threatening experiences,” says Michael Murphy. He is a research professor in the department of psychological sciences at Texas Tech University. “This lab work has shown that hugs and other touch behavior are related to stress. The more stress we have, the more our heart rates and blood pressure go up. At this time, hugs and other forms of personal touch may give off all sorts of feel-good chemicals, so that stress can be reduced.”
“There’s a lot that we still need to learn, and there’s a lot we don’t know,” Murphy says. “However, what seems to be rising up is that hugs, as well as other forms of loving and gentle touch, are really powerful. They remind people that they’ re cared about and that they have someone in their corner.”
We expect touch. When we were born, we were placed in our mothers’ arms almost immediately. In that first year of our life, we spend a lot of time being held by other people. And as we grow up, we seek out hugs and touch as a way of connection. I think what we have lost in the past few years are these really easy opportunities to be reminded of connection.”
While he was at Carnegie Mellon, Murphy was the lead author of a hug-centered 2018 article in the scientific journal PLOS One. In a series of interviews with 404 adults over a two-week period, the researchers found that receiving a hug is associated with the attenuation of negative emotions that occur on days with interpersonal conflicts. That is to say, generally, hugs help to reduce the negative impacts that personal conflicts may cause in our daily lives.
8 What can we infer about hugs from the laboratory studies
A. They show people’s good social relationships.
B. They can cure us of our mental disease.
C. They can put much pressure on people.
D. They make us feel calm and at ease.
9. Why do people seek out hugs and touch as they grow up
A. To recall childhood memories.
B. To keep connected with others.
C. To solve relationship problems.
D To express their social politeness.
10. What does the underlined word “attenuation” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Expression. B. Influence.
C. Suffering. D. Reduction.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Power of Hugs
B. How to Reduce Stress
C. How to Care for Others
D. The Importance of Interpersonal Relations
D
Life can bring us down from time to time. At some point, you may find yourself in what you will consider as your darkest hour. As you try to find your way out of that bad situation, you should try to remind yourself that there is still a reason to be grateful.
If you look at your situation now and compare it with someone else who is in much deeper trouble than you, I am sure that you’ll find something to be thankful for. We all have our share of problems. But complaining about them so much only makes us blind about the fact that there are the miracles that happen around us every day.
When all your needs are provided, then you should be content and happy. If you have a roof over your head, some decent(得体的) clothes to wear, enough food on the table, a comfortable place to sleep, clean water to drink and you are free to make your own choices, then you should be happy and grateful. Many people all around the world, especially those who are at war or those in very poor countries would give anything to be in your conditions.
Even if you lose all your money or possessions and your heart is broken for some reason, as long as you are still alive, then every material thing you have lost can be regained. If you have a few good friends who will be there to support or help you, then be glad because true friends are hard to find. As long as you have someone to love and someone to love you back, then you are a very fortunate person. Remember to be patient and trust that things will get better.
12. What’s the author’s advice for those people faced with difficulties
A. They should believe in miracles to happen.
B. They should take a grateful attitude to life.
C. They should have confidence in themselves.
D. They should remind themselves to keep calm.
13. According to the author, complaints about our sufferings only result in ________.
A. being teased by others B. taking everything for granted
C. having doubts about self-value D. ignoring the good things in life
14. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. People should try to make a difference.
B. People should be satisfied with what they have.
C. People should work hard to gain what they want.
D. People should practise kindness to those in need.
15. What does the author intend to tell us
A. It’s not so easy to make a living.
B. It’s important to have faith in life.
C. Show appreciation of what we have.
D. Never compare ourselves with others.

Cold December wind passed right through my worn coat. I might have wished to be at home, but those days it wasn’t much warmer there than it was standing at the bus stop. Mama had written a letter to the electric company explaining that we were late paying our bill because my sister was ill and Daddy had been laid off, but the power was cut off anyway. That’s why we were on our way into town to pay the bill in person.
I sat close to Buddy Earl for warmth on the bus when it finally showed up. The walk to the electric company office from the bus stop was only a couple of blocks, but it was a relief to get inside.
After settling the bill Mama brought us over to Rich’s department store. There was Santa in a big wooden chair. “You two go talk to him,” she said. “Just don’t expect to get all you ask for.” Buddy Earl and I joined the line of children waiting, and Mama sat on a bench nearby.
Then Santa started talking with us and asked us what we wanted. Santa reached in his pocket, pulled out a notepad and scribbled something with a pencil. “Is your mother with you two ” he asked. I pointed to the bench. “That’s our mama over there. She’s waiting for us to finish.” Santa lifted Buddy Earl off his knee. “Could you ask her to come and talk to me ” he said.
Later, Mama and Santa talked for a few minutes. Santa took a couple more notes. Then Mama brought us home. We didn’t dare ask about their private conversation. Christmas morning Mama and Daddy gathered us around our tree to give thanks for all we had. There were no toys from Santa under the tree. No presents at all, really. But that was okay, especially since we had electricity again. I felt pretty good as I took my seat at the kitchen table.
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Mama and Daddy looked at each other, and she unpacked the food from the box.

细节理解题。通过阅读文章可知，“Goring Gap and the Thames Path”中“The 5-mile footpath follows the curve of the river, winding past wildflower meadows.(这条5英里长的步道沿着河流的曲线蜿蜒经过野花草地)”的距离是5英里，“Box Hill”中 “The total distance is 6.8 miles.(总距离为6.8英里)”是6.8英里，“A South Downs ridge”中“The route covering 14.3 miles snakes along a ridge and a river valley.(这条路线全长14.3英里，蜿蜒于山脊和河谷之间)”是14.3英里，“Chess Valley in the Chilterns”中“This walk of 4.9 miles follows the river…(这条4.9英里的路沿着河走……)”是4.9英里，因此距离最短的是“Chess Valley in the Chilterns”。故选C项。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。通过阅读文章可知，每一个步行旅游点都有提及“Post-walk pub(步行后酒吧推荐)”，因此可以看出每个步行道之后都有小酒馆，且根据描述“Post-walk pub: Pangbourne’s seventeenth-century pub The Swan serves high-end dishes. Bag a table on the riverside or keep toasty by one of its open fires.( 步行后的酒吧：庞伯恩17世纪的酒吧The Swan供应高档菜肴。在河边收拾一张桌子，或者在篝火旁烤一烤)”，“Post-walk pub: The cavernous Tree on Box Hill has an attractive menu and huge beer garden, or sample a glass of Juniper Hill at Denbies Winerie.(步行后的酒吧：盒子山上洞穴般的树有一个吸引人的菜单和巨大的啤酒花园，或在Denbies Winerie品尝一杯杜松山)”，“Post-walk pub: There are always 10 real beers at the old-school pub The Wellington.(散步后的酒吧：在老派的惠灵顿酒吧总有10种真正的啤酒)”，以及“Post-walk pub: The George & Dragon is a simple old coaching pub on the High Street with a log fire, real beers and giant burgers.(散步后的酒吧：乔治和龙是高街上一家简单的老教练酒吧，有篝火、真正的啤酒和巨大的汉堡)”可知， 17世纪的风格的、吸引人的菜单、十种啤酒、老式驿站，都是有特色的小酒馆，由此可推知，它们的共同点在于游客可以在散步后到有特色的酒吧放松。故选B项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。通过阅读文章可知，文章首段“There are plenty of walking routes in London. If you fancy something a bit more rural, then the green and pleasant land has plenty to offer.(伦敦有很多步行路线。如果你喜欢一些更乡村的东西，那么绿色和宜人的土地有很多东西可以提供)”揭示了文章话题，即步行旅游方案的话题，可以推论出这篇文章可能会出自旅游宣传册。故选B项。

One year before, at age 18, Leszyeski had aged out of foster care (寄养中心), having been in the system since she was four when her single mother was no longer able to care for her. Leszyeski was now enrolled in college hoping to become a doctor. And the only furniture she had in her apartment was an air mattress with a hole in it.
Then she learned about an organization Chairity. The organization provides furniture and household goods for young adults who have left foster care. Leszyeski reached out to Charity, a nonprofit formed by 23-year-old Maria Paparella.
Paparella first became aware of foster care in elementary school when her parents were considering adopting a child. The plan didn't work out, but Paparella often found herself thinking about that child. “I'm really close with my family, and I just couldn't imagine being completely on my own at 18,” she says.
At 16, Paparella visited Summit County Children Services, with a list of questions, trying to understand what aging out looked like. One of her questions was “What's not being met for these young people ” Near the top of the list was furniture. “That struck home,” says Paparella. The idea of “moving into an apartment without a bed to sleep on or a sofa to sit on” pulled at her heartstrings.
Paparella contacted her parents' friends, asking if they had spare furniture to donate. A local furniture store offered free ware-house space and its delivery truck. Watching the recipients' faces when they received a bed, a couch — whatever — was amazing. Paparella remembers delivering a gold lamp to a woman and watching her polish it lovingly, getting rid of dirt and fingerprints.
Today, Chairity has given furniture to nearly 200 young adults in homes across six Ohio counties. Paparella is convinced these contributions give the recipients hope and confidence. Leszyeski agrees.“It makes me feel like I'm not different from other people. My whole life, I've felt abnormal,”she says,“Now, I feel normal.”
4. Which can best describe Leszyeski's life after leaving foster care
A. Tough but hopeful. B. Poor and aimless.
C Wealthy but boring. D. Independent and carefree.
5. Why did Paparella found Chairity
A. To get some financial benefits from it. B. To help those aging out of foster care.
C. To aid the needy couple adopt a child. D. To ask people to donate some couches.
6. When was Paparella most touched at the age of 16
A. Living without parents. B. Moving into a new house.
C. Getting free truck delivery. D. Visiting a foster care center.
7. What does Leszyeski think of Chairity
A. It changes young adults' whole life. B. It brings confidence to the recipients.
C. It has helped lots of homeless people. D. It makes people different from others.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述的是女孩 Leszyeski收到来自由一名23岁女孩Maria Paparella创建的慈善组织Chairity帮助的故事。通过该非营利性机构通过帮助一些生活在寄养中心的孩子们，让他们找到了人生的希望和自信。

细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“And the only furniture she had in her apartment was an air mattress with a hole in it.”(她公寓里唯一的家具就是一个有洞的充气床垫。)可知，家里唯一的家具也是破损的，可知生活过的尤其艰难。同时根据后文的“Then she learned about an organization Charity. The organization provides furniture and household goods for young adults who have left foster care.”(然后她了解到一个组织Charity。该组织为离开寄养家庭的年轻人提供家具和家庭用品。)可知，尽管她生活困苦，但是得知有一个慈善组织能为他们这样的年轻人提供家具和家庭用品，所以是充满希望的。故选A。

【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“At 16, Paparella visited Summit County Children Services, with a list of questions, trying to understand what aging out looked like”(16岁时，帕帕雷拉带着一系列问题来到顶峰县儿童服务中心，试图了解衰老是什么样子的)，以及“pulled at her heartstrings.”(牵动着她的心弦)可知，16岁时最让她感动的是：参观寄养中心。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Paparella is convinced these contributions give the recipients hope and confidence. Leszyeski agrees.”(帕帕雷拉相信，这些捐赠给了接受者希望和信心。Leszyeski表示同意。)以及“It makes me feel like I'm not different from other people. My whole life, I've felt abnormal, Now, I feel normal.”(这让我觉得我和其他人没有什么不同。我之前觉得不正常的生活，现在已经感觉正常了。)可知， Leszyeski 认为这个组织给她带来了信心和希望。故选B。

Like the rest of us, scientists have long suspected the healing capacity (修复能力) of a good hug. Unlike the rest of us, they’ve gone about trying to prove it.
“Laboratory studies suggest that things like hugs help us feel safer. They can also make us less sensitive to physical pain and less reactive when we’re faced with threatening experiences,” says Michael Murphy. He is a research professor in the department of psychological sciences at Texas Tech University. “This lab work has shown that hugs and other touch behavior are related to stress. The more stress we have, the more our heart rates and blood pressure go up. At this time, hugs and other forms of personal touch may give off all sorts of feel-good chemicals, so that stress can be reduced.”
“There’s a lot that we still need to learn and there’s a lot we don’t know,” Murphy says. “However, what seems to be rising up is that hugs, as well as other forms of loving and gentle touch, are really powerful. They remind people that they’ re cared about and that they have someone in their corner.”
We expect touch. When we were born, we were placed in our mothers’ arms almost immediately. In that first year of our life, we spend a lot of time being held by other people. And as we grow up, we seek out hugs and touch as a way of connection. I think what we have lost in the past few years are these really easy opportunities to be reminded of connection.”
While he was at Carnegie Mellon, Murphy was the lead author of a hug-centered 2018 article in the scientific journal PLOS One. In a series of interviews with 404 adults over a two-week period, the researchers found that receiving a hug is associated with the attenuation of negative emotions that occur on days with interpersonal conflicts. That is to say, generally, hugs help to reduce the negative impacts that personal conflicts may cause in our daily lives.
8. What can we infer about hugs from the laboratory studies
A. They show people’s good social relationships.
B. They can cure us of our mental disease.
C. They can put much pressure on people.
D. They make us feel calm and at ease.
9. Why do people seek out hugs and touch as they grow up
A. To recall childhood memories.
B. To keep connected with others.
C. To solve relationship problems.
D. To express their social politeness.
10. What does the underlined word “attenuation” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Expression. B. Influence.
C. Suffering. D. Reduction.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Power of Hugs
B. How to Reduce Stress
C. How to Care for Others
D. The Importance of Interpersonal Relations
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文，科学家研究发现一个好的拥抱拥有治愈能力。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Laboratory studies suggest that things like hugs help us feel safer. They can also make us less sensitive to physical pain and less reactive when we’re faced with threatening experiences” 实验室研究表明，像拥抱这样的事情能让我们感到更安全。它们还能让我们对身体疼痛不那么敏感，当我们面对威胁的经历时，反应更少。可知根据实验室的研究，拥抱使我们感到平静和自在。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“And as we grow up, we seek out hugs and touch as a way of connection.” 当我们长大了，我们寻求拥抱和触摸作为一种联系的方式。可知，人们长大的时候寻求拥抱和触摸是为了和他人保持联系。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线部分后一句“That is to say, generally, hugs help to reduce the negative impacts that personal conflicts may cause in our daily lives.” 也就是说，一般来说，拥抱有助于减少个人冲突在我们日常生活中可能造成的负面影响。后一句的negative impacts对应前一句的negative emotions，所以划线部分对应单词reduce，意思为“减少”。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Like the rest of us, scientists have long suspected the healing capacity (修复能力) of a good hug. Unlike the rest of us, they’ve gone about trying to prove it.” 和我们其他人一样，科学家们长期以来一直怀疑一个好的拥抱的治愈能力。不像我们其他人，他们试图证明这一点。第一段提出科学家们一直坚信拥抱的治愈力，后文一直在说拥抱如何治愈人们，所以本文的主旨是“拥抱的力量”，故选A项。
D
Life can bring us down from time to time. At some point, you may find yourself in what you will consider as your darkest hour. As you try to find your way out of that bad situation, you should try to remind yourself that there is still a reason to be grateful.
If you look at your situation now and compare it with someone else who is in much deeper trouble than you, I am sure that you’ll find something to be thankful for. We all have our share of problems. But complaining about them so much only makes us blind about the fact that there are the miracles that happen around us every day.
When all your needs are provided, then you should be content and happy. If you have a roof over your head, some decent(得体的) clothes to wear, enough food on the table, a comfortable place to sleep, clean water to drink and you are free to make your own choices, then you should be happy and grateful. Many people all around the world, especially those who are at war or those in very poor countries would give anything to be in your conditions.
Even if you lose all your money or possessions and your heart is broken for some reason, as long as you are still alive, then every material thing you have lost can be regained. If you have a few good friends who will be there to support or help you, then be glad because true friends are hard to find. As long as you have someone to love and someone to love you back, then you are a very fortunate person. Remember to be patient and trust that things will get better.
12. What’s the author’s advice for those people faced with difficulties
A. They should believe in miracles to happen.
B. They should take a grateful attitude to life.
C. They should have confidence in themselves.
D. They should remind themselves to keep calm.
13. According to the author, complaints about our sufferings only result in ________.
A. being teased by others B. taking everything for granted
C. having doubts about self-value D. ignoring the good things in life
14. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. People should try to make a difference.
B. People should be satisfied with what they have.
C. People should work hard to gain what they want.
D. People should practise kindness to those in need.
15. What does the author intend to tell us
A. It’s not so easy to make a living.
B. It’s important to have faith in life.
C. Show appreciation of what we have.
D. Never compare ourselves with others.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者告诉我们生活中难免会出现不顺利的时候，但我们也要心存感激，感激我们所拥有的事物。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段的最后一句“As you try to find your way out of that bad situation, you should try to remind yourself that there is still a reason to be grateful.”（当你试图想办法摆脱困境时，你应该提醒自己，仍然有理由心存感激。）可知，身处困境时，除了想办法脱离困境之外，还应该提醒自己要心存感激，也就是以心怀感恩的态度面对生活。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段的第三句“but complaining about them so much only makes us blind to the fact that there are the miracles(奇迹) which happen around us each day.”（过多的抱怨只会导致我们看不到每天身边所发生的奇迹。）可知，抱怨太多，只会令我们忽视每天我们身边所发生的奇迹，也就会忽视生活中美好的事物。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段的第一句“When all your needs are provided, then you should be content and happy.”（当你所有的需求得到满足时，你就应该感到满意和快乐。）可知，你的需求得到满足时，也就意味着你拥有了你想要的，此时你应该感到满意。其中，这句话的“When all your needs are provided”对应B项的“what they have”；“content”，意为“满足的，满意的”，对应B项的“satisfied”（满意的）。B项“人们理应对自己所得感到满意”符合题意。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。从文章第一段的最后一句“As you try to find your way out of that bad situation, you should try to remind yourself that there is still a reason to be grateful.”（当你试图想办法摆脱困境时，你应该提醒自己，仍然有理由心存感激。）可知，处于困境中时，我们仍会有值得感激的理由。第三段的第二句“If you have a roof over your head, some decent(得体的) clothes to wear, enough food on the table, a comfortable place to sleep, clean water to drink and you are free to make your own choices, then you should be happy and grateful.”（如果你有瓦遮头，衣食无忧，睡得舒服，有干净水喝，自由做主，那么你就应该感到快乐，心存感激。）进一步说明了，当我们有得吃、有得穿、有得住等等的时候，我们就应该对我们所拥有的这些事物心存感激。所以，C项“感恩我们所拥有的事物”符合题意。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了东北虎豹国家公园，它是中国西伯利亚虎和野生东北豹的主要栖息地，是跨境野生动物保护的典范。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：中国东北虎豹国家公园与俄罗斯和朝鲜接壤，占地1.41万平方公里。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词的填入，结合句意可知，该句为陈述客观事实，为一般现在时，主语The Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park为第三人称单数，所以为动词三单形式。故填covers。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这里是西伯利亚虎和黑龙江豹的主要栖息地，也是跨境野生动物保护的典范。根据句意可知，此处表示泛指“一个模范”，model为首音节辅音单词，所以为不定冠词a的填入。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：该公园位于亚洲温带针叶林和阔叶林混合生态系统的中心地带，在不同的季节都有美丽迷人的景色。由空后seasons为季节可知，此处应为介词in+季节，此处为in different seasons“在不同的季节”，满足句意要求。故填in。
【39题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：此外，公园内保存完好的植物种类丰富，包括数千种药用植物、可食用的野生草药、野生果树和灌木。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰plant species，plant species和preserve为被动关系，所以为过去分词形式。故填preserved。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：有些是国家重点保护的濒危植物。由空后plant species为名词短语可知，此处为形容词endangered“濒危的”作定语修饰该名词短语。故填endangered。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：这个公园是鸟类繁殖和生存的理想场所。由and连接的reproduction为名词可知，此处也应为名词形式。故填survival。
【42题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：每年春天，各种各样的森林鸟类开始从南方返回，准备产卵。分析句子可，此处为动词短语prepare to do“准备做某事”，所以此处为动词不定式形式。故填to lay。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：目前，在国家公园内，一个食肉动物群落和一个食草动物群落组成了一个完整的食物链，这在中国是极为罕见的。分析句子可知，此处为关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面整句话在从句中作主语成分。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：该国家公园将有效保护东北虎和远东豹，帮助它们继续繁殖，与自然和谐相处。由副词修饰动词可知，此处为副词effectively作状语修饰动词protect。故填effectively。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：该国家公园将有效保护东北虎和远东豹，帮助它们继续繁殖，与自然和谐相处。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，help和逻辑主语The national park为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填helping。

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。续 写的词数应为150左右。
Cold December wind passed right through my worn coat. I might have wished to be at home, but those days it wasn’t much warmer there than it was standing at the bus stop. Mama had written a letter to the electric company explaining that we were late paying our bill because my sister was ill and Daddy had been laid off, but the power was cut off anyway. That’s why we were on our way into town to pay the bill in person.
I sat close to Buddy Earl for warmth on the bus when it finally showed up. The walk to the electric company office from the bus stop was only a couple of blocks, but it was a relief to get inside.
After settling the bill Mama brought us over to Rich’s department store. There was Santa in a big wooden chair. “You two go talk to him,” she said. “Just don’t expect to get all you ask for.” Buddy Earl and I joined the line of children waiting, and Mama sat on a bench nearby.
Then Santa started talking with us and asked us what we wanted. Santa reached in his pocket, pulled out a notepad and scribbled something with a pencil. “Is your mother with you two ” he asked. I pointed to the bench. “That’s our mama over there. She’s waiting for us to finish.” Santa lifted Buddy Earl off his knee. “Could you ask her to come and talk to me ” he said.
Later, Mama and Santa talked for a few minutes. Santa took a couple more notes. Then Mama brought us home. We didn’t dare ask about their private conversation. Christmas morning Mama and Daddy gathered us around our tree to give thanks for all we had. There were no toys from Santa under the tree. No presents at all, really. But that was okay, especially since we had electricity again. I felt pretty good as I took my seat at the kitchen table.
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2:
Mama and Daddy looked at each other, and she unpacked the food from the box.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Daddy opened it to a man I’d never seen before. He was holding a big box. “this is for you and your family,” he said, “Merry Christmas!” The man was gone before Daddy even had a chance to invite him in. Daddy put the box on the table and opened it up. Inside was an envelope and a lot of food! Daddy read the letter from the envelope. “May you be happy!”
Paragraph 2:
Mama and Daddy looked at each other, and she unpacked the food from the box. The first thing was a big can of pork and beans. Buddy Earl’s eyes went wide. “An angel came to our door today,” Mama said as she pulled out a big box of Sugar Crisp. With gratitude, we had a happy Christmas. Not long after the festival, Daddy was called back to work. My sister recovered from her illness. I even received a new coat, which was thicker than my old one and kept me warm.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，作者家里不富裕，由于姐姐生病和爸爸被解雇交不起电费被停电。作者和妈妈亲自去交电费，在商场见到了圣诞老人，圣诞老人和作者交谈后又和妈妈交谈，还在本上记录了些东西。圣诞节早上我们聚在圣诞树下，没有玩具也没有礼物。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：突然响起了敲门声，所以下文应该写谁来了，发生了什么事。是有人送来了一箱食物和一封信。第二段开头是：妈妈和爸爸对视了一下，她从盒子里打开了食物。本段应该写一家人看到了什么和节日后得到了哪些救济。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：had a chance , went wide , With gratitude, recovered from 等词语。Inside was an envelope and a lot of food!运用了倒装句；I even received a new coat, which was thicker than my old one and kept me warm.运用了定语从句。
