The clumsy yet graceful wood stork, which was on the brink of extinction in 1984, has recovered enough in Florida and other Southern states. The American wildlife officials proposed removing the waterfowl (水禽)from the endangered species list.
This symbolic species, which is the only stork native to North America, has rebounded because dedicated partners in the southeast have worked tirelessly to restore ecosystems that support it. In addition, the wood stork has increased its range in coastal areas. The birds have adapted to new nesting areas, tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years.
Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act (ESA), which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are located, such as development, mining and oil drilling. The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home. The Endangered Species Act has saved 99%of the species that have been on the list since 1973, with 100 types of plants and animals delisted because they have recovered or are at least stable.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said that restoration of the wood stork’s habitat, especially in the Florida Everglades and adjacent Big Cypress National Preserve, led to a sharp increase in breeding pairs. Those numbers had shrunk to just 5,000 pairs in 1984, whereas there are more than 10,000 pairs today.
“The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable achievement of the hard work by federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, conservation organizations, and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said.
If the wood stork is delisted, officials said it would remain protected by other laws including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Clean Water Act. A monitoring plan would be put in place for at least five years to ensure the stork population remains stable.
24. What can be inferred about the wood stork from the text
A. It is widely distributed worldwide
B. It is the most endangered species
C. Its population shows a rising trend.
D. It is becoming completely extinct.
25. What contribute mostly to recovering the population of the wood stork
A. Safeguards of the ESA.
B. Federal agencies.
C. Conservation organizations.
D. Local tribes.
26. What is Deb Haaland’s attitude to the delisting of the wood stork
A. Unclear. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Concerned.
27. What is the best title of the text
A. Effect of the Endangered Species Act counts.
B. Protection of American native species works.
C. Efforts to restore the wildlife habitat pays off.
D. Saving of the endangered wood stork progresses.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述在各方的努力以及《濒危物种法》的颁布，濒危物种林鹳的数量呈上升趋势，所以官员们建议将林鹳从濒危物种的名单中移除。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句话“The birds have adapted to new nesting areas, tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years.(这些鸟已经适应了新的筑巢区，近年来，它们的群落数量增加了两倍，从29只增加到99只)”以及倒数第三段“ Those numbers had shrunk to just 5,000 pairs in 1984, whereas there are more than 10,000 pairs today.(1984年，这一数字减少到只有5000对，而现在已经超过了10000对)”可推知，由于保护得当，林鹳的数量呈上涨的趋势。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句话“Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act (ESA), which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are located, such as development, mining and oil drilling. The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home.(这主要归功于《濒危物种法》（ESA）提供的野生动物保护，该法可以限制这些物种所在地区的各种活动，如开发、采矿和石油钻探。该法案拯救了木鹳，并帮助保护和重建了整个东南部的重要栖息地，改善了水质，使无数其他以该地区为家的物种受益)”可知，ESA的保障措施对恢复木鹳种群起到了主要作用。故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Deb Haaland所说的话“The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable achievement of the hard work by federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, conservation organizations, and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species(将木鹳除名是一个重要的里程碑，也是联邦机构、州和地方政府、部落、保护组织和公民在保护和恢复我们最危险物种方面辛勤工作的显著成就)”可推知，Deb Haaland对木鹳从濒危物种的名单中移除持积极态度。故选B。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要讲述在各方的努力以及《濒危物种法》的颁布，濒危物种林鹳的数量呈上升趋势，所以官员们建议将林鹳从濒危物种的名单中移除，并且在移除之后还要继续对它们的数量进行进一步的监测。所以“拯救濒危木鹳的工作正在进行中”适合作本文的标题。故选D。
C
Environmental stressors that push honeybees to begin searching food earlier in life can cause a domino effect on hives (蜂巢), quickening their sudden collapse, a new study suggests.
The study showed that too many young bees leaving the hive can cause a tipping point in the tight society of a hive, leading to colony (群体) collapse within weeks.
“There was a suggestion that there was some type of difference between precocious foragers (觅食者) and normal aged foragers,” said Perry, a molecular biologist Clint Perry of Queen Mary University.
So researchers set up experimental hives that would in effect force bees to begin foraging earlier. They also tracked bees in a normal hive, where social roles are regulated, keeping age groups in balance.
Colonies regularly protect against unexpected high loss of foragers by sending bees out earlier, but they rapidly return to stability. But if death rate roughly doubled, the model showed, the colony would be locked in a negative feedback circle of more young bees foraging at younger ages, leading to less stored food and fewer baby bees.
“Since the younger bees are not as good at it, they are going to die sooner, and they’re going to not be bringing back as much food, thereby causing more younger bees to go out, and more younger bees to not do as well, and that will cause continuous feedback that will destroy the colony in a short time,” said Perry.
The researchers are continuing their experiments and hope to come up with ways to identify a colony at risk of collapse. “The priority is finding ways that we can identify colonies at risk of failure as early as possible so you can intervene and do whatever you need to support them and to help heal themselves.” said Perry.
28. What cause a hive to collapse more quickly
A. Too tight a society of it. B. Too many bees in it.
C. High pressure from other bees. D. High loss of young foragers.
29. What does the underlined word “precocious” in the 3rd paragraph mean
A. abnormal B. uncommonly early C. easily damaged D. awkward
30. What would happen to the colony if twice the foragers died
A. The colony would heal itself. B. The colony would get expanded.
C. More young bees would be sent to seek food. D. More young bees would be free of risk.
31. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the article
A. To introduce a phenomenon. B. To ask for joint efforts.
C. To express his emotions. D. To comment on a study.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述一项新的研究表明，迫使蜜蜂在生命早期开始寻找食物的环境压力可能会对蜂巢造成多米诺骨牌效应，加速它们的突然崩溃。所以作者号召大家共同努力，找到方法，能够尽早识别面临失败风险的蜂巢群体，这样就可以进行干预，并采取一切必要措施支持它们，帮助它们自愈。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The study showed that too many young bees leaving the hive can cause a tipping point in the tight society of a hive, leading to colony(群体) collapse within weeks. (该研究表明，太多的年轻蜜蜂离开蜂巢可能会导致蜂巢紧密社会的一个临界点。导致蜂群在几周内崩溃)”可知，太多的年轻蜜蜂离开蜂巢，导致蜂群很快崩溃。故选D。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“There was a suggestion that there was some type of difference between precocious foragers(觅食者) and normal aged foragers”(有一种说法认为，precocious 觅食者和正常的觅食者之间存在某种差异)可知，precocious是形容词，和后面的形容词“normal aged(正常老年的)”构成对比；同时根据第四段中“So researchers set up experimental hives that would in effect force bees to begin foraging earlier. They also tracked bees in a normal hive, where social roles are regulated, keeping age groups in balance.(因此，研究人员建立了实验蜂巢，实际上可以迫使蜜蜂更早开始觅食。他们还追踪了正常蜂巢中的蜜蜂，那里的社会角色受到调节，保持了年龄组的平衡)可知，研究针对的是两种不同的蜜蜂进行研究，一种是非普通的更早开始觅食的蜜蜂，一种是正常的觅食的蜜蜂。因此划线词与B选项“uncommonly early(不寻常地)”为同义词。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“But if death rate roughly doubled, the model showed, the colony would be locked in a negative feedback circle of more young bees foraging at younger ages, leading to less stored food and fewer baby bees. (但是模型显示，如果死亡率大约翻一番，蜂群将被锁定在一个负反馈循环中，更多的年轻蜜蜂在更年轻的时候觅食，导致储存的食物更少，蜜蜂宝宝也更少)”可知，如果死亡率翻倍的话，更多的年轻蜜蜂将会在更年轻的时候被派出去觅食。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers are continuing their experiments and hope to come up with ways to identify a colony at risk of collapse. “The priority is finding ways that we can identify colonies at risk of failure as early as possible so you can intervene and do whatever you need to support them and to help heal themselves.” said Perry. (研究人员正在继续他们的实验，并希望找到方法来确定一个有崩溃风险的群体。“当务之急是找到方法，让我们能够尽早识别面临失败风险的群体，这样你就可以进行干预，并采取一切必要措施支持它们，帮助它们自愈。”佩里说)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是想让更多的人参与进来，共同努力，找到方法，能够尽早识别面临失败风险的蜂巢群体，这样就可以进行干预，并采取一切必要措施支持它们，帮助它们自愈。故选B。
D
I didn’t show an inclination to watch his Broadway musicals, when Stephen Sondheim died on Nov. 26, 2021, at age 91. Something in me instead wanted to see Al Hirschfeld’s drawings of Sondheim’s shows and characters over the decades.
As a boy growing up in the Boston suburbs in the 1970s, Hirschfeld’s images were my first ticket to Broadway, transported by their publication in The Times’s Arts & Leisure section. And they were also how I formed an early bond with my parents, one that stood over time and even into their years with Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病).
“Oklahoma!” was the first musical my parents took me to, in Boston, when I was six. Around that time, I asked them why we got The Times when we didn’t live in New York. They said they still considered themselves New Yorkers and they loved Arts &Leisure and Hirschfeld’s drawings about theater. His drawings were like a lifeline for my parents to New York City over the decades, and they helped open the door for me to Sondheim.
This is how:
I made my way to New York in 1989, as a freshman at N.Y.U., where I met a dorm mate who looked like Hirschfeld’s drawing of LittleRed Riding Hood from Sondheim’s “Into the Woods.” Her name was Danielle Ferland. I told my parents about this Hirschfeld-in-the-flesh excitedly by phone. Danielle and other friends introduced me to Sondheim’s music which evoked (唤起) my memories of Hirschfeld’s drawings.
As my parents grew older, it was harder to take them to see shows with me. But in my years as the theater reporter at The Times, they would ask what I was seeing in New York and were happy to hear about Angela Lansbury performing in a 2009 revival (重演) of Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music.” They remembered her characteristic eyes from Hirschfeld’ s drawings.
When I see them next time, I will take my book of Hirschfeld’s drawings to show them and see if they remember these drawings.
32. What does the underlined “an inclination” in paragraph 1 mean
A. An ability. B. A tendency.
C. An opportunity. D. A responsibility.
33. What do Hirschfeld’s drawings mean to the author
A. A difficult childhood.
B. A chance to work for Broadway.
C. An inseparable connection with parents.
D. A treatment for a disease in her later years.
34. What introduced the author to Sondheim’s music
A. Stories publicized on The Times.
B. The musical her parents took her to.
C. Recommendations made by her friends.
D. A course she signed up for at university.
35. What did the author’s parents still remember about “A Little Night Music”
A. The time of its first staging. B. The excitement it had caused.
C. The performance on Broadway. D. The drawings of its performer.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，作者介绍了自己喜欢的歌手去世之后，回忆起他通过记录这位歌手的画家的作品认识歌手和父母建立亲密关系的故事。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段“I didn’t show an inclination to watch his Broadway musicals, when Stephen Sondheim died on Nov. 26, 2021, at age 91. Something in me instead wanted to see Al Hirschfeld’s drawings of Sondheim’s shows and characters over the decades. (斯蒂芬·桑德海姆于2021年11月26日去世，享年91岁，当时我并没有表现出看他的百老汇音乐剧的inclination。相反，我内心深处想看看艾尔·赫斯菲尔德为桑德海姆几十年来的表演和人物画的画)”中的关键词“instead”可知，前后句意呈相反关系，作者“不想”听那位歌手的歌，而是想去看那位画家的画，所以划线部分inclination和B选项“A tendency (倾向)”接近。故答案为B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As a boy growing up in the Boston suburbs in the 1970s, Hirschfeld’s images were my first ticket to Broadway, transported by their publication in The Times’s Arts & Leisure section. And they were also how I formed an early bond with my parents, one that stood over time and even into their years with Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病). (作为一个20世纪70年代在波士顿郊区长大的男孩，赫斯菲尔德的照片是我第一张去百老汇的门票，它们刊登在时报的艺术与休闲版上。这也是我和父母早期建立联系的方式，这种联系随着时间的推移，甚至在他们患有阿尔茨海默病的岁月里也没有改变)”可知，作者通过这位画家的作品和他的父母建立起亲密的联系。故答案为C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Danielle and other friends introduced me to Sondheim’s music which evoked(唤起) my memories of Hirschfeld’s drawings. (丹妮尔和其他朋友向我介绍了桑德海姆的音乐，这唤起了我对赫斯菲尔德绘画的记忆)”可知，上大学后，是丹妮尔和其他朋友让作者认识了歌手桑德海姆，即朋友的推荐。故答案为C。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But in my years as the theater reporter at The Times, they would ask what I was seeing in New York and were happy to hear about Angela Lansbury performing in a 2009 revival (重演) of Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music.” They remembered her characteristic eyes from Hirschfeld’ s drawings. (但在我担任时报戏剧记者的那些年里，他们会问我在纽约看到了什么，并很高兴听到安吉拉·兰斯伯里在2009年重新演出桑德海姆的《小夜乐》)。他们从赫斯菲尔德的画中想起了她独特的眼睛)”可知，是赫斯菲尔德的画，让他们深深地记住了这位歌手的表演。故答案为D。

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 love yourself You may think you do, but do you really There’s only one way to find out — by taking a close look at what you think, say, and do. You may not like some of what you find, but if you are serious about really loving yourself, you can use this insight to do some positive inner work. ____36____:
Listen Closely to Your Thoughts
Your thoughts will determine your actions. ____37____It is not necessary for you to write in it every day, but it helps to record various insights you gain as you go about your life. Instead of using a big notebook, you might use a small notepad that you can keep in your pocket for easy access to record your thoughts as they occur to you. Whichever method you choose, what’s most important is that you write your thoughts down. It will help you know what’s in your heart.
____38____

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了高铁为中国经济社会发展做出的巨大贡献。
【56题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：自1876年中国推出第一列商业列车以来，这一推动经济持续发展的新引擎已逐渐成为标准。launch与the train为动宾结构，用被动语态。推出第一列商业列车发生在过去，用一般过去时。故填was launched。
【57题详解】
考查名词。句意：就像19世纪英国和美国沿着铁轨出现的铁路城镇一样，中国的城市发展也是沿着铁路线进行的。该空作句子主语，用名词形式，growth是不可数名词。故填growth。
【58题详解】
考查时态。句意：从那时起，网络就产生了商业机会的创造。句中时间状语为ever since，用现在完成时，The network是单数，谓语动词用单数。故填has resulted。
【59题详解】
考查强调句。句意：这是一个不仅通过门票销售，而且通过其整体运力获利的生态系统，在今年国际金融困难的情况下推动中国前进。把该空和is以及that去掉，该句句意完整，语义清晰，可判断该句为强调句，强调句的基本结构是：it is/was + 被强调部分 + that +句子的其他成分，如果被强调的部分是人，可以用who代替that。故填It。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这是一个不仅通过门票销售，而且通过其整体运力获利的生态系统，在今年国际金融困难的情况下推动中国前进。an eco-system与 drive为主谓结构，因此用现在分词短语作状语。故填driving。
【61题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：过去仅进行商业活动的偏远城市现在与大型工业区相连。activity为可数名词，上文没有冠词，因此用复数形式。故填activities。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：现在，人们可以去那些在周末之前无法到达的地方旅行。本句为限定性定语从句，先行词为places，在定语从句中作主语，指物，所以用关系代词which或that引导。故填which/that。
【63题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：同样，他们有更多的途径进入偏远地区和较少探索的地区，在这些地区，与旅游业有关的人们的生活比以前有了显著改善。根据下文“less explored regions”可知，填空处应为形容词比较级。故填greater。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意：高铁为中国经济社会发展做出了巨大贡献。修饰动词contribute，应用副词形式。故填significantly。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意：随着网络的继续扩大，用不了多久，该国所有地区就会开始以同样相互依赖的速度前进。at the pace以……速度，为固定搭配。故填at。
第三节 根据语句内容填入所缺单词的正确形式。(每空1分，共10分)
66. Those _________learn not only from books but also through practice will succeed. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】who
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：不仅从书本上而且从实践中学习的人更有可能获得成功。分析句子可知，该处缺少定语从句引导词，从句中缺少主语，先行词是those，指人，通常用关系代词who引导从句，故填who。
67. I wanted to explain, but she just kept ________ (ignore) me.(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】ignoring
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我想解释，但她就是不理我。短语keep doing sth.表示“继续做某事，不停止或中断”。故填ignoring。
68. Do you remember the days ________ effect is still existing (用适当的词填空)
【答案】whose
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：你还记得那些影响至今的日子吗？分析句子结构，此处考查限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the days，在从句中作定语，所以用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。
69. Jack is among the eager readers who________ (serve) by the mobile library. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】are served
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态、语态以及主谓一致。句意：杰克是流动图书馆服务的热心读者之一。分析句子成分，该空作从句的谓语动词。由提示动词is可知时态是一般现在时，描述一般性事实，主语readers和动词serve之间是被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动，readers是复数，谓语动词也要用复数，即are served。故填are served。
70. Do you believe the reason________ he did not come to school yesterday (用适当的词填空)
【答案】why ##for which
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：你相信他昨天没来上学的原因吗？分析句子，设空处引导的是定语从句，修饰先行词the reason，引导词在从句中作原因状语，用why或者使用介词+关系代词的结构即for which。故填why或者for which。
71. You could get into a situation ________ you have to decide immediately.(用适当的词填空)
【答案】where
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：你可能会陷入必须立即做决定的境地当中。分析题干可知，空处引导定语从句，从句缺状语，先行词“situation”是抽象地点名词，故用关系副词where引导定语从句。故填where。
72. He is such a good boy ______ everyone likes. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】as
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：他是大家都喜欢的好孩子。分析句子可知，此处为关系代词as引导的的定语从句，先行词a good boy在从句中作宾语成分，此外当先行词有such，so，as时，关系词应用as。故填as。
73. Books are the best gifts ________ bring students closer to their dreams. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】that
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：书籍是最好的礼物，使学生更接近他们的梦想。 分析句子结构，此处考查限制性定语从句，先行词是gifts，在从句中作主语，且被最高级the best修饰，所以用关系代词that引导。故填that。
74. Up till now, they________ (contribute) more than 2000 books through different means. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】have contributed
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意：到目前为止，他们已经通过各种方式捐献了2000多本书。由时间提示词“Up till now”可知，时态是现在完成时，表示动作从过去持续到现在。主语they是复数，所以填have contributed。故填have contributed。
75. ________happened, we always knew we still had the bank to depend upon. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】Whatever
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句。句意：无论发生什么，我们始终知道我们还有银行可以依靠。引导让步状语从句，表示“无论什么”应用whatever。句首单词首字母要大写。故填Whatever。
第四节 根据中文意思补全句子(每空一词)。(每题1.5分，共15分)
76. 在迎接挑战的时候，你们将有机会掌握大量的知识，并享受个人的成长。
When you_________ _________ __________ ________, you will have the opportunity to acquire great knowledge and enjoy personal growth.
【答案】 ①. rise ②. to ③. the ④. challenges
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语和时态。汉语“迎接挑战”可表达为rise to the challenges，when引导的时间状语从句，主句是一般将来时，从句用一般现在时，构成主将从现，即rise to the challenges。故填rise；to；the；challenges。
77. 高中阶段会帮助你们学习、成长，但是只有你们自己，才能肩负起发挥自身巨大潜能的责任。
Senior high school will help you learn and grow, yet you alone are responsible for ________ _________ ________ _________.
【答案】 ①. realizing ②. your ③. great ④. potential
【解析】
【详解】考查动词和名词。根据汉语提示，“发挥”可用动词realize表达，位于介词for之后，所以填realizing，作宾语；“潜能”译为名词potential,不可数名词，所以“发挥巨大潜能”表达为realizing your great potential。故填realizing；your；great；potential。
78. 老师帮助我完成了零件组装。
The teacher helped me________ the parts________.
【答案】put；together
【解析】
【详解】考查短语。“组装”为短语put..together，help sb. do sth.固定搭配，意为“帮助某人做某事”，动词put应用原形，故填put；together。
79. 我迫不及待要让丹尼尔来中国了!
I __________ _________ ________ Daniel to visit China!
【答案】 ①. can’t ②. wait ③. for
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。分析句子，设空处使用动词短语作谓语。根据汉语提示，表示“迫不及待……”用can’t wait for sb. to do。故填can’t wait for。
80. 考虑周全后，你要心平气和地向他们解释你的行为和感受，仔细地倾听，打消他们的顾虑。
After you have thought it through, explain your actions and feelings calmly, listen carefully, and ________ __________ ________.
【答案】 ①. address ②. their ③. concerns
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语和祈使句。根据汉语提示，“打消某人的疑虑”可用表达为address one's concerns，分析句子结构，空处address与并列连词and前的explain和listen并列，所以用动词原形，即address their concerns，主句构成祈使句。故填address；their；concerns。
81. 你可能会焦虑，因为你发现自己发育的速度和朋友们不同：要么是个头猛蹿，要么是远远落在其他人后面
You may feel anxious that you are developing at a different rate to your friends, ________ ________ ________ ________ or getting left far behind.
【答案】 ①. shooting ②. up ③. in ④. height
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和非谓语。表示“个头猛蹿”用固定短语shoot up in height符合题意；that宾语从句中已有谓语且无连词，故shoot用其非谓语形式；主语You与shoot之间是主动关系，故用现在分词作状语；故填①shooting②up③in④height。
82. 大家都很开心，因为我们不用去城里从妈妈的银行账户取钱。
We all felt very good because we did not have to go downtown and ________ _________ _________ __________ Mama’s Bank Account.
【答案】 ①. draw ②. money ③. out ④. of
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。“取钱”可用动词draw表示，所以汉语“从……中取钱”译为draw money out of。动词draw和动词go并列，情态动词have to后要接原形，即draw money out of。故填draw；money；out；of
83. 不论是去上学、做作业，还是周末出去玩儿，我们俩几乎形影不离。
Whether we are walking to school, doing homework or just hanging out at the weekend, we are hardly __________ _________ ________ _________ ________.
【答案】 ①. out ②. of ③. each ④. other’s ⑤. sight

84. 通常，亲密的友情能帮助我们踏平时而坎坷却又注定要经过的道路。
More often than not, close friendships will help smooth out the sometimes rocky road that we _________ __________ ________ ________travel.
【答案】 ①. are ②. all ③. meant ④. to
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和动词时态。由汉语可知，此处考查短语be meant to do表示“注定要……”,陈述客观事实应用一般现在时，主语为we，谓语动词用复数，所以填are all meant to。故填are；all；meant；to。
85. 和真正的朋友在一起，我们可以尽情地分享我们的快乐和悲伤。
With true friends, we feel free to share our joy and sadness______ ______ ______
【答案】 ①. in ②. full ③. measure
【解析】

【答案】范文
Protecting our eyes
At present, an increasing number of senior high school students wear glasses and some even in high degree, which worries us a lot. In my opinion, there are some factors contributing to it. Firstly, we often use our eyes for too long, which is a decisive factor. Activities like focusing on a screen, whether that be a computer, television or smartphone, are tough on our eyes. What’s more, our ways of using eyes are not healthy. For example, reading in poor light can also harm our eyesight.
However, much can be done to protect our eyes. When reading, we should ensure proper lighting and take regular breaks, so that our eyes do not need to work too hard.

The clumsy yet graceful wood stork, which was on the brink of extinction in 1984, has recovered enough in Florida and other Southern states. The American wildlife officials proposed removing the waterfowl (水禽)from the endangered species list.
This symbolic species, which is the only stork native to North America, has rebounded because dedicated partners in the southeast have worked tirelessly to restore ecosystems that support it. In addition, the wood stork has increased its range in coastal areas. The birds have adapted to new nesting areas, tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years.
Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act (ESA), which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are located, such as development, mining and oil drilling. The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home. The Endangered Species Act has saved 99%of the species that have been on the list since 1973, with 100 types of plants and animals delisted because they have recovered or are at least stable.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said that restoration of the wood stork’s habitat, especially in the Florida Everglades and adjacent Big Cypress National Preserve, led to a sharp increase in breeding pairs. Those numbers had shrunk to just 5,000 pairs in 1984, whereas there are more than 10,000 pairs today.
“The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable achievement of the hard work by federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, conservation organizations, and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said.
If the wood stork is delisted, officials said it would remain protected by other laws including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Clean Water Act. A monitoring plan would be put in place for at least five years to ensure the stork population remains stable.
24. What can be inferred about the wood stork from the text
A. It is widely distributed worldwide
B. It is the most endangered species
C. Its population shows a rising trend.
D. It is becoming completely extinct.
25. What contribute mostly to recovering the population of the wood stork
A. Safeguards of the ESA.
B. Federal agencies.
C. Conservation organizations.
D Local tribes.
26. What is Deb Haaland’s attitude to the delisting of the wood stork
A. Unclear. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Concerned.
27. What is the best title of the text
A. Effect of the Endangered Species Act counts.
B. Protection of American native species works.
C. Efforts to restore the wildlife habitat pays off.
D. Saving of the endangered wood stork progresses.
C
Environmental stressors that push honeybees to begin searching food earlier in life can cause a domino effect on hives (蜂巢), quickening their sudden collapse, a new study suggests.
The study showed that too many young bees leaving the hive can cause a tipping point in the tight society of a hive, leading to colony (群体) collapse within weeks.
“There was a suggestion that there was some type of difference between precocious foragers (觅食者) and normal aged foragers,” said Perry, a molecular biologist Clint Perry of Queen Mary University.
So researchers set up experimental hives that would in effect force bees to begin foraging earlier. They also tracked bees in a normal hive, where social roles are regulated, keeping age groups in balance.
Colonies regularly protect against unexpected high loss of foragers by sending bees out earlier, but they rapidly return to stability. But if death rate roughly doubled, the model showed, the colony would be locked in a negative feedback circle of more young bees foraging at younger ages, leading to less stored food and fewer baby bees.
“Since the younger bees are not as good at it, they are going to die sooner, and they’re going to not be bringing back as much food, thereby causing more younger bees to go out, and more younger bees to not do as well, and that will cause continuous feedback that will destroy the colony in a short time,” said Perry.
The researchers are continuing their experiments and hope to come up with ways to identify a colony at risk of collapse. “The priority is finding ways that we can identify colonies at risk of failure as early as possible so you can intervene and do whatever you need to support them and to help heal themselves.” said Perry.
28. What cause a hive to collapse more quickly
A. Too tight a society of it. B. Too many bees in it.
C. High pressure from other bees. D. High loss of young foragers.
29. What does the underlined word “precocious” in the 3rd paragraph mean
A. abnormal B. uncommonly early C. easily damaged D. awkward
30. What would happen to the colony if twice the foragers died
A. The colony would heal itself. B. The colony would get expanded.
C. More young bees would be sent to seek food. D. More young bees would be free of risk.
31. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the article
A. To introduce a phenomenon. B. To ask for joint efforts.
C. To express his emotions. D. To comment on a study.
D
I didn’t show an inclination to watch his Broadway musicals, when Stephen Sondheim died on Nov. 26, 2021, at age 91. Something in me instead wanted to see Al Hirschfeld’s drawings of Sondheim’s shows and characters over the decades.
As a boy growing up in the Boston suburbs in the 1970s, Hirschfeld’s images were my first ticket to Broadway, transported by their publication in The Times’s Arts & Leisure section. And they were also how I formed an early bond with my parents, one that stood over time and even into their years with Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病).
“Oklahoma!” was the first musical my parents took me to, in Boston, when I was six. Around that time, I asked them why we got The Times when we didn’t live in New York. They said they still considered themselves New Yorkers and they loved Arts &Leisure and Hirschfeld’s drawings about theater. His drawings were like a lifeline for my parents to New York City over the decades, and they helped open the door for me to Sondheim.
This is how:
I made my way to New York in 1989, as a freshman at N.Y.U., where I met a dorm mate who looked like Hirschfeld’s drawing of LittleRed Riding Hood from Sondheim’s “Into the Woods.” Her name was Danielle Ferland. I told my parents about this Hirschfeld-in-the-flesh excitedly by phone. Danielle and other friends introduced me to Sondheim’s music which evoked (唤起) my memories of Hirschfeld’s drawings.
As my parents grew older, it was harder to take them to see shows with me. But in my years as the theater reporter at The Times, they would ask what I was seeing in New York and were happy to hear about Angela Lansbury performing in a 2009 revival (重演) of Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music.” They remembered her characteristic eyes from Hirschfeld’ s drawings.
When I see them next time, I will take my book of Hirschfeld’s drawings to show them and see if they remember these drawings.
32. What does the underlined “an inclination” in paragraph 1 mean
A. An ability. B. A tendency.
C. An opportunity. D. A responsibility.
33. What do Hirschfeld’s drawings mean to the author
A. A difficult childhood.
B. A chance to work for Broadway.
C. An inseparable connection with parents.
D. A treatment for a disease in her later years.
34. What introduced the author to Sondheim’s music
A. Stories publicized on The Times.
B. The musical her parents took her to.
C Recommendations made by her friends.
D. A course she signed up for at university.
35. What did the author’s parents still remember about “A Little Night Music”
A. The time of its first staging. B. The excitement it had caused.
C. The performance on Broadway. D. The drawings of its performer.
