It was 1963 in the Toronto suburb. I was eight years old and hockey (冰球) -crazy. My next-to-zero skills had not stopped my passion for the game. The players of the great hockey club Toronto Maple Leafs were of course my heroes, and their posters and photos covered the walls of my room.
There is always some price to pay for maintaining a love. I raised funds in an old-fashioned way, selling something the public could actually sink their teeth into. I joined the local annual event — Margaret’s Doughnuts (甜甜圈) to sell doughnuts, which offered choices of honey-glazed or chocolate-glazed.
Door-to-door I went, notebook in hand to record. I sold dozens of dozens; hardly a soul turned me down. My notebook was almost full, and my stomach was almost empty when I went up the last house on the south side.
I rang the doorbell and went over my speech while staring at the screen door. Suddenly the door opened. My unforgettable memory was looking up from a large pair of fuzzy slippers, way up, to the face staring down. I stood there speechless for what seemed 10 years, opening and closing my mouth like a fish out of water. Collecting my calmness, but still unable to go into doughnut-promoting overdrive, I told him something he seemed have already known and he replied with a nod and a smile.
I have an unclear memory of murmuring through my speech “Please-buy-some-doughnuts”, and then a vivid memory of him taking the notebook from my hand. I followed with new information — that we shared our given name. With pride from our first-name-basis farewells, I flew home holding the notebook tightly to my chest.
The next morning before the school bell I cautiously showed off the precious paper. It is surely mine alone to claim: I sold a dozen doughnuts to Tim Horton, one of my most respected players who lived a mere three blocks away!
4. What can we know about the author

Fresh fish should have a mild smell. Strong fishy smells are the first signs to go bad. How do the fishy smells come from
It can be several days from when the fish are caught to when they reach the supermarket. In that time, bacteria that grow naturally in fish start to consume a substance called trimethylamine N-oxide(TMAO)in fish. These bacteria change TMAO into trimethylamine (TMA), the substance responsible for the fishy smells. Bacteria in fish can also change lysine(赖氨酸)into cadaverine(尸胺), a substance that’s associated with breaking down the fish once they are caught and giving off fishy smell.
Chemical reactions can also lead to fishy smells. This happens through the oxidation(氧化)of fat. Fish are an important source of omega-3 fatty acids. When these fats are exposed to oxygen, they oxidize and break down into the substance that you can smell.
To slow down the fishy smell, what is beyond question is that the less time between when the fish are caught and when they reach the kitchen, the better. But today, fish are often flown across the globe. To keep smell-producing bacteria at bay, the fish must be frozen or kept at the low temperature possible as soon as they are caught and cleaned.
Controlling fat oxidation can function as well, especially for fattier fish species. While freezing slows bacterial growth, it does not stop fat oxidation. This reaction will occur as long as oxygen is present. Fatty fish are usually not frozen because, despite the cold temperature, they’re going to oxidize pretty fast unless they are stored in a low oxygen container. That’s why those species are often canned.
It’s also important to remember that smell is not always an indicator of safety, especially in processed fish products. “What you might consider the fishy smell may be a delicacy in another culture,” said Carl A. Batt, a professor of food science at Cornell University.
8. Which of the following has the fishy smell
A. Fish fat. B. TMAO. C. Cadaverine. D. Lysine.
9. What is the best way to reduce the fishy smell of fat fish species
A. Drying them in the air. B. Storing them in closed containers.
C. Carefully cleaning them. D. Exposing them to rich oxygen.
10. What is Carl A. Batt’s attitude to the fishy smell
A. Objective.
B. Negative.
C. Acceptable.
D. Unclear.
11. How is the text organized
A. Topic—Example—Conclusion. B. Topic—Comparison—Opinion.
C. Question——Cause——Solution. D. Question—Effect—Opinion.

Atomic shapes are so simple that they can’t be broken down any further. Mathematicians are trying to turn to artificial intelligence (AI) for help to build a periodic table of these shapes, hoping it will assist in finding yet-unknown atomic shapes.
Tom Coates at Imperial College London and his colleagues are working to classify atomic shapes known as Fano varieties, which are so simple that they can’t be broken down into smaller components. Just as chemists arranged element s in the periodic table by their atomic weight and group to reveal new insights, the researchers hope that organizing these atomic shapes by their various properties will help in understanding them.
The team has given each atomic shape a sequence of numbers based on its features such as the number of holes it has or the extent to which it bends around itself. This acts as a bar code (条形码) to identify it. Coates and his colleagues have now created an AI that can predict certain properties of these shapes from their bar code numbers alone, with an accuracy of 98 percent.
The team member Alexander Kasprzyk at the University of Nottingham, UK, says that the AI has let the team organize atomic shapes in a way that begins to follow the periodic table, so that when you read from left to right, or up and down, there seem to be general patterns in the geometry (几何) of the shapes.
Graham Nib lo at the University of Southampton, UK, stresses that humans will still need to understand the results provided by AI and create proofs of these ideas. “AI has definitely got unbelievable abilities. But in the same way that telescopes (望远镜) don’t put astronomers out of work, AI doesn’t put mathematicians out of work,” he says. “It just gives us new backing that allows us to explore parts of the mathematical landscape that are out of reach.”
The team hopes to improve the model to the point where missing spaces in its periodic table could point to the existence of unknown shapes.
12. What is the purpose of building a periodic table of shapes
A. To gain deeper insights into the atomic shapes.
B. To create an AI to predict the unknown shapes.
C. To break down atomic shapes into smaller parts.
D. To arrange chemical elements in the periodic table.
13. What can the bar code of each atomic shape tell us
A. Its holes. B. Its bends.
C. Its atomic weight. D. Its properties.
14. What does the underlined word “backing” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Design. B. Help. C. Duty. D. Threat.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Thanks to AI, new atomic shapes have been discovered.
B. Mathematicians turn to AI to create more atomic shapes.
C. AI helps build a relationship between chemistry and maths.
D A periodic table of shapes can be built with the help of AI.

It was a pleasant Tuesday afternoon. 78-year-old Rose was brimming with excitement as she entered the nursing home with her favorite tulips (郁金香), her lips endlessly calling out to just one name—Emily!
“Emily! Where are you I got flowers…” Rose spoke aloud when she didn’t see her best friend, 79-year-old Emily, waiting for her on the usual spot, a wooden bench on the main gate.
Whenever Rose returned from the local hospital after getting her blood tests done, Emily would run toward her with fresh hand-picked flowers. But that afternoon, Emily was not there, and the bench was empty. Emily was nowhere to be found in any of her favorite spots, which unsettled Rose even more. Just then a doctor said to Rose, “Emily’s family came hours ago while you were at the hospital... They took Emily with them. She’s not going to come back.”
The ground seemed to shake beneath Rose’s feet when she heard that. Rose went back to her room. Every step started feeling heavy, and every corner reminded her of her best friend and their laughter. Nothing but loneliness and silence surrounded Rose from all sides, and she felt her heart crack.
The scent of freshly picked flowers Emily had last left in the vase lingered (继续存留) in the still air. And beside the vase was an old recorder that endlessly played Just the Two of Us, their favorite music they listened to every day.
When approaching the table, she noticed a note with a message in messy handwriting, “Dear Rose, please write to me at this address: Maple Ridge Ave, Springfield, VA,7…”
“Oh dear... The rest of her address is becoming blurred (模糊不清的).” Rose grew unsettled. In spite of that, Rose knew she could not just let Emily go like that. After a deep thought, she decided to reunite with her best friend.
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。
Packing the recorder in her luggage, Rose got on the bus to start her journey to the unfamiliar city, Springfield.

Not knowing the exact house number of Emily, an idea suddenly struck Rose.

It was 1963 in the Toronto suburb. I was eight years old and hockey (冰球) -crazy. My next-to-zero skills had not stopped my passion for the game. The players of the great hockey club Toronto Maple Leafs were of course my heroes, and their posters and photos covered the walls of my room.
There is always some price to pay for maintaining a love. I raised funds in an old-fashioned way, selling something the public could actually sink their teeth into. I joined the local annual event — Margaret’s Doughnuts (甜甜圈) to sell doughnuts, which offered choices of honey-glazed or chocolate-glazed.
Door-to-door I went, notebook in hand to record. I sold dozens of dozens; hardly a soul turned me down. My notebook was almost full, and my stomach was almost empty when I went up the last house on the south side.
I rang the doorbell and went over my speech while staring at the screen door. Suddenly, the door opened. My unforgettable memory was looking up from a large pair of fuzzy slippers, way up, to the face staring down. I stood there speechless for what seemed 10 years, opening and closing my mouth like a fish out of water. Collecting my calmness, but still unable to go into doughnut-promoting overdrive, I told him something he seemed have already known and he replied with a nod and a smile.
I have an unclear memory of murmuring through my speech “Please-buy-some-doughnuts”, and then a vivid memory of him taking the notebook from my hand. I followed with new information — that we shared our given name. With pride from our first-name-basis farewells, I flew home holding the notebook tightly to my chest.
The next morning before the school bell, I cautiously showed off the precious paper. It is surely mine alone to claim: I sold a dozen doughnuts to Tim Horton, one of my most respected players who lived a mere three blocks away!

Fresh fish should have a mild smell. Strong fishy smells are the first signs to go bad. How do the fishy smells come from
It can be several days from when the fish are caught to when they reach the supermarket. In that time, bacteria that grow naturally in fish start to consume a substance called trimethylamine N-oxide(TMAO)in fish. These bacteria change TMAO into trimethylamine (TMA), the substance responsible for the fishy smells. Bacteria in fish can also change lysine(赖氨酸)into cadaverine(尸胺), a substance that’s associated with breaking down the fish once they are caught and giving off fishy smell.
Chemical reactions can also lead to fishy smells. This happens through the oxidation(氧化)of fat. Fish are an important source of omega-3 fatty acids. When these fats are exposed to oxygen, they oxidize and break down into the substance that you can smell.
To slow down the fishy smell, what is beyond question is that the less time between when the fish are caught and when they reach the kitchen, the better. But today, fish are often flown across the globe. To keep smell-producing bacteria at bay, the fish must be frozen or kept at the low temperature possible as soon as they are caught and cleaned.
Controlling fat oxidation can function as well, especially for fattier fish species. While freezing slows bacterial growth, it does not stop fat oxidation. This reaction will occur as long as oxygen is present. Fatty fish are usually not frozen because, despite the cold temperature, they’re going to oxidize pretty fast unless they are stored in a low oxygen container. That’s why those species are often canned.
It’s also important to remember that smell is not always an indicator of safety, especially in processed fish products. “What you might consider the fishy smell may be a delicacy in another culture,” said Carl A. Batt, a professor of food science at Cornell University.
8. Which of the following has the fishy smell
A. Fish fat. B. TMAO. C. Cadaverine. D. Lysine.
9. What is the best way to reduce the fishy smell of fat fish species
A. Drying them in the air. B. Storing them in closed containers.
C. Carefully cleaning them. D. Exposing them to rich oxygen.
10. What is Carl A. Batt’s attitude to the fishy smell
A. Objective.
B. Negative.
C. Acceptable.
D. Unclear.
11. How is the text organized
A. Topic—Example—Conclusion. B. Topic—Comparison—Opinion.
C. Question——Cause——Solution. D. Question—Effect—Opinion.

Atomic shapes are so simple that they can’t be broken down any further. Mathematicians are trying to turn to artificial intelligence (AI) for help to build a periodic table of these shapes, hoping it will assist in finding yet-unknown atomic shapes.
Tom Coates at Imperial College London and his colleagues are working to classify atomic shapes known as Fano varieties, which are so simple that they can’t be broken down into smaller components. Just as chemists arranged element s in the periodic table by their atomic weight and group to reveal new insights, the researchers hope that organizing these atomic shapes by their various properties will help in understanding them.
The team has given each atomic shape a sequence of numbers based on its features such as the number of holes it has or the extent to which it bends around itself. This acts as a bar code (条形码) to identify it. Coates and his colleagues have now created an AI that can predict certain properties of these shapes from their bar code numbers alone, with an accuracy of 98 percent.
The team member Alexander Kasprzyk at the University of Nottingham, UK, says that the AI has let the team organize atomic shapes in a way that begins to follow the periodic table, so that when you read from left to right, or up and down, there seem to be general patterns in the geometry (几何) of the shapes.
Graham Nib lo at the University of Southampton, UK, stresses that humans will still need to understand the results provided by AI and create proofs of these ideas. “AI has definitely got unbelievable abilities. But in the same way that telescopes (望远镜) don’t put astronomers out of work, AI doesn’t put mathematicians out of work,” he says. “It just gives us new backing that allows us to explore parts of the mathematical landscape that are out of reach.”
The team hopes to improve the model to the point where missing spaces in its periodic table could point to the existence of unknown shapes.
12. What is the purpose of building a periodic table of shapes
A. To gain deeper insights into the atomic shapes.
B. To create an AI to predict the unknown shapes.
C. To break down atomic shapes into smaller parts.
D. To arrange chemical elements in the periodic table.
13. What can the bar code of each atomic shape tell us
A. Its holes. B. Its bends.
C. Its atomic weight. D. Its properties.
14. What does the underlined word “backing” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Design. B. Help. C. Duty. D. Threat.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Thanks to AI, new atomic shapes have been discovered.
B. Mathematicians turn to AI to create more atomic shapes.
C. AI helps build a relationship between chemistry and maths.
D. A periodic table of shapes can be built with the help of AI.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了中国湖北省石首麋鹿国家级自然保护区为保护麋鹿付出了努力,这使得这个曾在20世纪初在中国濒临灭绝的物种有了显著的恢复。
【详解】1. 考查定语从句。句意:它们的数量包括今年出生的460只鹿,表明这个曾在20世纪初在中国濒临灭绝的物种已经有了显著的恢复。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the species,指物,且关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导定语从句。故填which。
2. 考查名词。句意:它们的数量包括今年出生的460只鹿,表明这个曾在20世纪初在中国濒临灭绝的物种已经有了显著的恢复。根据该空前的冠词a和形容词可知,此处应该用其名词单数recovery,作宾语。故填recovery。
3. 考查非谓语动词。句意:麋鹿通常被称为四不像,似乎是由各种生物的部位组成。句中有谓语,前后无连词,此处应用非谓语动词作状语,动词refer与其逻辑主语a milu deer是被动关系,故此处应该用其过去分词形式作状语。故填referred。
4. 考查介词。句意:石首保护区是我国三大动物保护区之一,成立于1991年。分析该句句意可知,此处表示“作为……”,应用介词as,单词位于句首,首字母大写。故填As。
5.考查冠词。句意:它的保护故事为其他濒临灭绝的动物提供了一个例子。此处泛指一个例子,应用不定冠词来修饰,且example发音是以元音音素开头,应用an。故填an。
6. 考查非谓语动词。句意:为了确保有一个安全的环境,两名工程师和八名护林员被派往保护区周围巡逻。此处表示“为了”,应该用动词不定式作目的状语,句首单词首字母大写。故填To ensure。
7. 考查代词。句意:应用先进技术帮助观察和分析它们的习性和环境。根据该空后的名词habits and environment可知,此处应该用形容词性物主代词作定语。故填their。
8.考查副词。句意:负责养鹿的人的努力大大增加了鹿的数量。此处应该用副词来修饰动词,作状语。故填significantly。
9. 考查名词所有格。句意: 自1986年以来,在中国的三大保护区中——北京的南海子麋鹿苑、江苏省的大丰麋鹿国家级自然保护区和石首保护区,这种动物的数量已经从39只增加到了1万多只。分析句子可知,此处应该用名词所有格形式来修饰名词短语protected areas,作定语。故填country’s。
10. 考查时态和主谓一致。句意: 自1986年以来,在中国的三大保护区中——北京的南海子麋鹿苑、江苏省的大丰麋鹿国家级自然保护区和石首保护区,这种动物的数量已经从39只增加到了1万多只。根据该句中的时间状语since 1986可知,该句应该用现在完成时。同时,当the number of+复数名词作主语时,谓语动词应该用第三人称单数形式。故填has increased。

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。
It was a pleasant Tuesday afternoon. 78-year-old Rose was brimming with excitement as she entered the nursing home with her favorite tulips (郁金香), her lips endlessly calling out to just one name—Emily!
“Emily! Where are you I got flowers…” Rose spoke aloud when she didn’t see her best friend, 79-year-old Emily, waiting for her on the usual spot, a wooden bench on the main gate.
Whenever Rose returned from the local hospital after getting her blood tests done, Emily would run toward her with fresh hand-picked flowers. But that afternoon, Emily was not there, and the bench was empty. Emily was nowhere to be found in any of her favorite spots, which unsettled Rose even more. Just then a doctor said to Rose, “Emily’s family came hours ago while you were at the hospital... They took Emily with them. She’s not going to come back.”
The ground seemed to shake beneath Rose’s feet when she heard that. Rose went back to her room. Every step started feeling heavy, and every corner reminded her of her best friend and their laughter. Nothing but loneliness and silence surrounded Rose from all sides, and she felt her heart crack.
The scent of freshly picked flowers Emily had last left in the vase lingered (继续存留) in the still air. And beside the vase was an old recorder that endlessly played Just the Two of Us, their favorite music they listened to every day.
When approaching the table, she noticed a note with a message in messy handwriting, “Dear Rose, please write to me at this address: Maple Ridge Ave, Springfield, VA,7…”
“Oh dear... The rest of her address is becoming blurred (模糊不清的).” Rose grew unsettled. In spite of that, Rose knew she could not just let Emily go like that. After a deep thought, she decided to reunite with her best friend.

【答案】参考范文:
Packing the recorder in her luggage, Rose got on the bus to start her journey to the unfamiliar city, Springfield. With each passing mile, Rose’s eyes welled with excitement and tears at the thought of seeing Emily again. And every time the bus stopped at a station, Rose walked up to the driver with the same question, “Have we reached Springfield ” The ride seemed never ending, until hours later the bus reached Springfield. Her eyes sparkled with joy. Rose stepped out of the bus and found herself surrounded by unfamiliar streets and houses. However, as a stranger here, she had no idea of the exact house number of Emily.
Not knowing the exact house number of Emily, an idea suddenly struck Rose. She pulled out her recorder and played the song “Just the Two of Us” aloud. She wandered across the streets with the recorder playing. The music pierced through the air. Rose kept looking around the streets, hoping she could see Emily somewhere on the way. When Rose crossed a house, a familiar voice came behind her. Rose cried excitedly and turned around. There was Emily! Emily ran to her with her arms wide open, crying out just one name-Rose!
