It was not turning out to be the great fishing trip we had imagined. It certainly was not the one Father had promised. All day the rain beat against the roof of our cabin.
Father sat at the window, looking out over the lake. My older brother Jeremy, who had recently turned sixteen years old, lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. I paced the room, occasionally glancing toward Father to see if there was any sign that the rain would let up.
“I wish we’d never come out to this boring place,” Jeremy said.
I stopped pacing and looked at Father. He gave no sign that he had heard, and I hoped he hadn’t. This trip meant a lot to him. He used to come out here with own father.
I started pacing again.
“I mean, if we’d stayed home, at least I could watch TV, go out with my friends or play my guitar,” Jeremy continued.
Silence continued for some time. I kept pacing imagining the trip I had dreamed of before the bad weather had set in. I saw us in the boat, anchor dropped in a calm bay casting our lines toward shore, the way Father had described it when he was trying to convince Jeremy to come along.
Father stood up and turned to face us. He smiled at me. “Come on, get up, Jeremy,” he said. “Let’s go fishing, boys.” He picked up his fishing rod and the tool box, opened the door, and walked out into the rain.
Jeremy and I watched Father walk down the pathway toward the dock (码头)，the wind whipping (打) at his hair,the rain wetting his clothes. Jeremy shook his head. “He's crazy if he thinks I’m going with him,” he said. “Maybe I would have when I was a little kid, but not now,” he said.
I waited for a while, unsure of what to do, looking out the open door at Father, who was walking onto the dock, facing against the storm. Jeremy couldn’t believe I picked up my rod and walked out into the storm after Father. I couldn’t quite hear what Jeremy said because of the wind in my ears, but I heard his footsteps behind me as he began to follow me out to the boat.

It’s a sweet moment, as a chimp reaches up to kiss his mother’s face. The touching photo was taken by the famous conservationist and activist Jane Goodall in 1993 in Gombe National Park in northwest Tanzania where she has studied chimpanzees for more than six decades.
The image is part of Vital Impacts consisting of a group of 100 photographers. The women-led non-profit was founded by award-winning photographer Ami Vitale and visual journalist Eileen Mignoni. They are selling fine arts images, most of which focus on wildlife and nature, with earnings benefiting conservation organizations including Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots and Shoots program.
“Our purpose is to use photography to create awareness and understanding; to help us see that the survival of the planet is closely connected with our own survival. As photographers, we have a huge opportunity to inform and influence change, but pressing the shutter (快门) is just the start,” Vitale said.
“For an image to have significance, it needs to reach people. To this end, we are working to get the photographs of Vital Impacts photographers and our students into high-profile media and exhibitions around the world.”
The organization gives special attention to photographers who are committed to the planet. Funds will be used to support global conservation and environmental initiatives and the group will offer two $20,000 environmental storytelling awards.
Vital Impacts has raised more than $1.5 million from the sale of fine art prints since the organization was set up in late 2021. Some of its profits were donated to the organization Direct Relief, which shipped more than 1,400 tons of medical supplies worth $545 million to support 351 healthcare equipment in disaster zones. Other profits were able to provide fuel and vehicle assistance to support wildlife corridors (廊道), a monitoring program, and the restoration of the Snake River in the Pacific Northwest.
8. Why did the author mention the touching photo in paragraph one
A. To lead in Vital Impacts. B. To introduce Jane Goodall’s hobby.
C. To share a sweet image. D. To introduce chimps’ touching behavior.
9. Which of the following statements about Vital Impacts is true
A. It aims to make profits by selling fine arts images.
B. It helps students to hold worldwide photo exhibitions.
C. It aims to use images to promote environmental conservation.
D. It helps to pick out excellent photographers by offering 2 awards.
10. Who are most likely to join Vital Impacts
A. Those who love wildlife and nature.
B. Those who are devoted to the environment.
C. Those who are committed to helping others.
D. Those who are passionate about photography.
11. What do the numbers in the last paragraph tell about Vital Impacts
A. Its profits. B. Its benefits. C. Its contributions. D. Its effects.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了摄影师Ami Vitale和视觉记者Eileen Mignoni共同创办了非营利组织Vital Impacts。他们同100名摄影师一起精选出与野生动物和自然相关的照片进行售卖，所得收益则用于支持自然环境的保护工作。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s a sweet moment, as a chimp reaches up to kiss his mother’s face. The touching photo was taken by the famous conservationist and activist Jane Goodall in 1993 in Gombe National Park in northwest Tanzania where she has studied chimpanzees for more than six decades.”（这是一个甜蜜的时刻，一只黑猩猩伸出手亲吻他母亲的脸。这张感人的照片是由著名的自然资源保护主义者和活动家简·古道尔于1993年在坦桑尼亚西北部的贡贝国家公园拍摄的，她在那里研究黑猩猩已有60多年了。） 可知，开头描述了一张感人的照片，照片中一只黑猩猩在亲吻自己的妈妈。紧接着介绍了这张照片的拍摄背景，是著名的自然环境保护主义者和活动家简·古道尔于1993年在贡贝国家公园拍摄的。以此引出下文中与环境保护相关的一个非营利组织Vital Impacts。由此可推断，作者以分享照片为开端，引出下文。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They are selling fine arts images, most of which focus on wildlife and nature, with earnings benefiting conservation organizations including Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots and Shoots program.”（他们出售美术图像，其中大部分关注野生动物和自然，收入用于保护组织，包括简·古道尔研究所的根与芽项目。）和第三段中Vitale所说的话“Our purpose is to use photography to create awareness and understanding.”（我们的目的是用摄影来创造意识和理解。）可知，Vital Impacts售卖的照片大多与野生动物和自然相关，所得收益则用于自然环境的保护。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The organization gives special attention to photographers who are committed to the planet.”（该组织特别关注致力于保 护地球的摄影师。）可知，Vital Impacts会重点关注致力于保护地球的摄影师。由此可推断，致力于环境保护的摄影师最有可能加入Vital Impacts组织。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Vital Impacts has raised more than $1.5 million from the sale of fine art prints since the organization was setup in late 2021. Some of its profits were donated to the organization Direct Relief, which shipped more than 1,400 tons of medical supplies value d at $545 million to support 351 healthcare equipment in disaster zones. Other profits were able to provide fuel and vehicle assistance to support wildlife corridors (廊道), a monitoring program, and the restoration of the Snake River in the Pacific Northwest.”（自2021年底成立以来，“Vital Impacts”已经从美术印刷品的销售中筹集了150多万美元。它的部分利润捐给了直接救济组织，该组织运送了1400多吨医疗用品，价值5.45亿美元，用于支持灾区的351台医疗设备。其他利润用于提供燃料和车辆援助，以支持野生动物走廊、监测项目和太平洋西北部斯内克河的恢 复。）可知，本段主要介绍了Vital Impacts将售卖照片所筹集到的资金捐给其他组织，为它们提供援助，由此可推知，最后一段的数字说明了Vital Impacts它的贡献。故选 C。
D
They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short.
Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help.
The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified.
“We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.”
He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.”
12. Why did Professor Knowles do the research
A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination.
B. To find out whether people are interested in charity.
C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination.
D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion.
13. What most likely leads to procrastination
A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines.
14. What’ s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study
A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Procrastination — the Thief of Time B. Procrastination — the Urgent Problem to Solve
C. Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination D. Deadline — a Result of Procrastination
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们拖延与设定截止日期的时间长短有关。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research. (Stephen Knowles教授在他们的研究中测试了截止日期长度对任务完成的影响)”可推断，Stephen Knowles教授做这项研究是为了研究设定截止日期对拖延这一行为的影响。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. (没有截止日期和一周的截止日期导致了许多早期的回复，而较长的截止日期似乎允许人们拖延，然后忘记)”可知，设定很长的截止日期最有可能导致拖延。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline.( Knowles教授毫不惊讶地发现，与较长的截止日期相比，指定较短的截止日期会增加收到回复的机会)”可推断，Knowles教授对这项研究结果的态度是不惊讶的。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，再根据文章第一段“They say procrastination is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. (人们说拖延是时间的小偷——实际上截止日期才是罪魁祸首)”以及第三段“specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. (与较长的截止日期相比，指定较短的截止日期可以增加收到回复的机会)”可知，文章主要介绍了设定截止日期的长短会影响人们做事是否拖延。由此可知，C项“Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination (截止日期——减少拖延的关键)”适合作为本文标题。故选C。

44. respected
45 in
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了朋友的意义和友情的珍贵。
【36题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：友谊是每个人生活中最重要的事情之一。此处用到one of+形容词最高级+复数名词，表示“最......之一”。故填things。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意：很难为友谊找到一个更好的定义。分析句子可知，设空处是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式to find a better definition of friendship，It is +adj. +for sb to do sth为固定用法。这里用it作形式主语，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填It。
【38题详解】
考查关系代词。句意：真正的朋友是能够分享我们所有悲伤和快乐的人。分析句子结构可知，设空处引导定语从句，先行词为the person，指人，关系词在从句中作主语，可用who或that。故填who/that。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意：随着时间的考验，他或她总是在我们身边给我们帮助和安慰。分析句子结构可知，设空处缺少系动词，通篇为一般现在时，本句主语为单数he or she，故填is。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：懂得友情是多么的有价值，我们就应该谨慎选择朋友。be 动词后接形容词作表语。故填 careful。
【41题详解】
考查动词。句意：我们应该选择那些性格好的人做我们的朋友，但我们必须尽量避免和坏人交朋友。should为情态动词，后接动词原形，所以设空处应填choice的动词choose。故填choose。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我们应该选择那些性格好的人做我们的朋友，但是我们必须尽量避免和坏人交朋友。avoid doing sth.避免做某事，是固定用法，故填making。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：此外，我们应该原谅他们的错误，尽可能多地帮助他们。分析句子结构可知，此处需填入非谓语。try to do sth表示“尽力做某事”。故填to help。
【44题详解】
考查语态。句意：真正的朋友总是能够被信赖，热爱和尊重。设空处与trusted, loved并列，均与be构成被动语态，因而用过去分词形式。故填respected。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：他们在困难时互相帮助，在伤心时互相鼓励。be in trouble表示“处于麻烦之中”。故填in。

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 一篇完整的短文。
I yawned (打哈欠)as I got off the last step of the bus. I had woken early that morning, and had not been able to sleep on the long ride from Riverside High, thinking about that day’s race, the Eye Opener. I had never raced in a state-wide race before. Over thirty high school teams ran, along with quite a few colleges. The rest of my team and I unloaded the bus, and we relaxed and waited for our race patiently.
“Start warming up,” our coach told us, roughly forty-five minutes after we arrived. After finishing our stretches, we headed over to the starting line, eager for the race to begin.
The starter walked to the middle of the field. “There will be two commands,” his voice boomed, ‘‘Runners set, then the gun. If you hear another shot, return to the starting line to start again. ” My heart raced as I got my legs ready to race.
“Runners set!” the starter shouted Bam! The gun fired, and he rushed out of our way. Adrenaline (肾上腺素)rushed through my body as I raced through the mass of runners. As I rounded the first turn, my schoolmates greeted me with heartening shouts. Then, in what felt like only one minute, I arrived at the one mile mark.
“6’10”, a man declared as I ran by. I tried to ignore him, but my legs began to bum as I realized I had run a mile and still had two to go. I slowed down my pace, for I knew the second mile was the worst of all three. Minutes later, I felt horrible. My legs ached, feeling like lead blocks. My vision was clouded as sweat dropped down into my eyes, and my arms felt as if they would fall off if I swung them one more time. Just as I almost reached my limit, a boy passed me. He also seemed to have lost strength but soon he was a little ahead of 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。
I gathered up my strength to speed up but suddenly fell to the ground.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the last mile, seeing the athletes passing us one by one, I asked the boy to run without me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I gathered up my strength to speed up but suddenly fell to the ground. My world was clouded by total darkness. How I wish the ground to crack and swallow me! I could feel everybody was staring at me, widening their mouths and not being able to utter a word. The sudden silence brought sharp pain in my knees and “failure” was the only word flashing in my mind. Then the silence was broken by a deep voice, “You won’t give up so easily, will you ” The boy ahead of me turned back and pulled me up. “Let’s run to the finishing line together!” The second mile saw its end while we ran shoulder to shoulder.
In the last mile, seeing the athletes passing us one by one, I asked the boy to rum without me. “You can win a place if you go by yourself.” I looked at him in the eyes with sweat blurring my sight. The boy breathing heavily, drops of sweat rolled down his face. He shook his head saying,“Winning a place is not that important, isn’t it ”. Then we smiled at each other as if we had been the only runners. The last mile seemed shorter and we were relieved when we passed the finishing line together with thunderous applause. I knew they cheered for us not for winning a race but for something more important.

It was not turning out to be the great fishing trip we had imagined. It certainly was not the one Father had promised. All day the rain beat against the roof of our cabin.
Father sat at the window, looking out over the lake. My older brother Jeremy, who had recently turned sixteen years old, lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. I paced the room, occasionally glancing toward Father to see if there was any sign that the rain would let up.
“I wish we’d never come out to this boring place,” Jeremy said.
I stopped pacing and looked at Father. He gave no sign that he had heard, and I hoped he hadn’t. This trip meant a lot to him. He used to come out here with own father.
I started pacing again.
“I mean, if we’d stayed home, at least I could watch TV, go out with my friends or play my guitar,” Jeremy continued.
Silence continued for some time. I kept pacing, imagining the trip I had dreamed of before the bad weather had set in. I saw us in the boat, anchor dropped in a calm bay casting our lines toward shore, the way Father had described it when he was trying to convince Jeremy to come along.
Father stood up and turned to face us. He smiled at me. “Come on, get up, Jeremy,” he said. “Let’s go fishing, boys.” He picked up his fishing rod and the tool box, opened the door, and walked out into the rain.
Jeremy and I watched Father walk down the pathway toward the dock (码头)，the wind whipping (打) at his hair,the rain wetting his clothes. Jeremy shook his head. “He's crazy if he thinks I’m going with him,” he said. “Maybe I would have when I was a little kid, but not now,” he said.
I waited for a while, unsure of what to do, looking out the open door at Father, who was walking onto the dock, facing against the storm. Jeremy couldn’t believe I picked up my rod and walked out into the storm after Father. I couldn’t quite hear what Jeremy said because of the wind in my ears, but I heard his footsteps behind me as he began to follow me out to the boat.
4. What does the underlined phrase “let up” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Stop. B. Continue. C. Hit. D. Arrive.
5. Why was the fishing trip important for the author’s father
A. He had never fished in the rain.
B. It’s his son Jeremy’s first fishing trip.
C. He and his own father usually went fishing there.
D. He wanted to have a better relationship with his sons.
6. What can we know about Jeremy
A. He doesn’t enjoy fishing.
B. He dislikes outdoor activities.
C. He is addicted to playing the guitar.
D. He showed no interest in the fishing trip.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To express the fondness for a particular day.
B. To describe a fishing experience in the rain.
C. To reflect on the old family tradition of fishing.
D. To recall the generation gap between father and brother.
C
It’s a sweet moment, as a chimp reaches up to kiss his mother’s face. The touching photo was taken by the famous conservationist and activist Jane Goodall in 1993 in Gombe National Park in northwest Tanzania where she has studied chimpanzees for more than six decades.
The image is part of Vital Impacts consisting of a group of 100 photographers. The women-led non-profit was founded by award-winning photographer Ami Vitale and visual journalist Eileen Mignoni. They are selling fine arts images, most of which focus on wildlife and nature, with earnings benefiting conservation organizations including Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots and Shoots program.
“Our purpose is to use photography to create awareness and understanding; to help us see that the survival of the planet is closely connected with our own survival. As photographers, we have a huge opportunity to inform and influence change, but pressing the shutter (快门) is just the start,” Vitale said.
“For an image to have significance, it needs to reach people. To this end, we are working to get the photographs of Vital Impacts photographers and our students into high-profile media and exhibitions around the world.”
The organization gives special attention to photographers who are committed to the planet. Funds will be used to support global conservation and environmental initiatives and the group will offer two $20,000 environmental storytelling awards.
Vital Impacts has raised more than $1.5 million from the sale of fine art prints since the organization was set up in late 2021. Some of its profits were donated to the organization Direct Relief, which shipped more than 1,400 tons of medical supplies worth $545 million to support 351 healthcare equipment in disaster zones. Other profits were able to provide fuel and vehicle assistance to support wildlife corridors (廊道), a monitoring program, and the restoration of the Snake River in the Pacific Northwest.
8. Why did the author mention the touching photo in paragraph one
A. To lead in Vital Impacts. B. To introduce Jane Goodall’s hobby.
C. To share a sweet image. D. To introduce chimps’ touching behavior.
9. Which of the following statements about Vital Impacts is true
A. It aims to make profits by selling fine arts images.
B. It helps students to hold worldwide photo exhibitions.
C. It aims to use images to promote environmental conservation.
D. It helps to pick out excellent photographers by offering 2 awards.
10. Who are most likely to join Vital Impacts
A. Those who love wildlife and nature.
B. Those who are devoted to the environment.
C. Those who are committed to helping others.
D. Those who are passionate about photography.
11. What do the numbers in the last paragraph tell about Vital Impacts
A. Its profits. B. Its benefits. C. Its contributions. D. Its effects.
D
They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short.
Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help.
The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified.
“We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.”
He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.”

A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination.
B. To find out whether people are interested in charity.
C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination.
D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion.
13. What most likely leads to procrastination
A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines.

15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Procrastination — the Thief of Time B. Procrastination — the Urgent Problem to Solve

I yawned (打哈欠)as I got off the last step of the bus. I had woken early that morning, and had not been able to sleep on the long ride from Riverside High, thinking about that day’s race, the Eye Opener. I had never raced in a state-wide race before. Over thirty high school teams ran, along with quite a few colleges. The rest of my team and I unloaded the bus, and we relaxed and waited for our race patiently.
“Start warming up,” our coach told us, roughly forty-five minutes after we arrived. After finishing our stretches, we headed over to the starting line, eager for the race to begin.
The starter walked to the middle of the field. “There will be two commands,” his voice boomed, ‘‘Runners set, then the gun. If you hear another shot, return to the starting line to start again. ” My heart raced as I got my legs ready to race.
“Runners set!” the starter shouted Bam! The gun fired, and he rushed out of our way. Adrenaline (肾上腺素)rushed through my body as I raced through the mass of runners. As I rounded the first turn, my schoolmates greeted me with heartening shouts. Then, in what felt like only one minute, I arrived at the one mile mark.
“6’10”, a man declared as I ran by. I tried to ignore him, but my legs began to bum as I realized I had run a mile and still had two to go. I slowed down my pace, for I knew the second mile was the worst of all three. Minutes later, I felt horrible. My legs ached, feeling like lead blocks. My vision was clouded as sweat dropped down into my eyes, and my arms felt as if they would fall off if I swung them one more time. Just as I almost reached my limit, a boy passed me. He also seemed to have lost strength but soon he was a little ahead of me.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

I gathered up my strength to speed up but suddenly fell to the ground.

In the last mile, seeing the athletes passing us one by one, I asked the boy to run without me.
