Learning a new language holds many benefits — it gains you respect, improves your self-confidence, and opens up new opportunities to make new friends from different cultures. Here are four language learning apps available that will teach you the language(s) of your choice.

I was mostly based in Samburu National Reserve, recording details of the population and leading collar (颈圈) operations. We put trackers (跟踪仪) around wild elephants’necks, so we can learn about their activities.
In May 2009, in the middle of the wet season, Rommel appeared again. And it was histurn to be placed a collar. We sent three cars out to search for him. There’s a river running through the park where many elephants gather in the mornings. At 10:30 am, one of my partners clocked Rommel.
A tranquillizer (镇静剂) was carefully shot into his body so we could safely place a collaron him, but for a bull of Rommel’s size it could take longer. After that, he turned away, heading in an unexpected direction and seemed to be near danger by killing himself in thewater. It would be a bad accident. Only by pulling his trunk (象鼻) from the river, could weensure his survival. The problem was that the river was a little bit changeable. Immediately, I decided to act. I jumped in and lifted his heavy, twitching trunk from the water with the help of lifeguards. The team tried to fit him with a collar, but we discovered that we didn’t have one big enough.
We couldn’t risk keeping him there while we created a bigger collar. So I struggled on, holding his trunk high with all my strength. And medicine that took away the efforts of the tranquillizer was delivered.
As soon as his ears started to move, a sign of coming to life, I dropped his trunk and moved to safety. Within a couple of minutes, he was back to life. That was one of my proudest moments
4. What is the purpose of putting trackers around wild elephants’necks
A. To record their sizes. B. To know their activities.
C. To control and train them. D. To save them from danger.
5. Why was it necessary to shoot tranquilizer into Rommel’s body
A. To sent him to a zoo. B. To treat his wounds.
C. To place a collar on him safely. D. To check his health.
6. What did the author do to ensure Rommel’s survival
A. He gave him certain medicine. B. He lifted his trunk out of water.
C. He performed an operation on him. D. He called other members for help.
7. What kind of feeling did the author have after Rommel’s coming to life
A. Pride. B. Surprise. C. Anger. D. Worry.
C
Garden goals can often be unclear. But in my opinion, not having a clear aim in mind when we are designing, creating and maintaining a garden can lead to a range of problems down the road. We must know where we’re going to determine our direction. Usually, without clear goals in mind, we end up setting out in entirely the wrong direction.
Creating our own perfect garden needs time Waiting and failures can be dispiriting and many gardeners give up or feel disgruntled. It is always best to take our time and make progressive steps toward our overall goals.
With a clear idea of those goals, we can determine better how we are progressing toward them, even when nothing goes according to plan. We can see our success more clearly and can’t get hung up on smaller things that go wrong along the way.
Another thing clear garden goals can give us is a sense of the light at the end of the tunnel—something keeping us centered on what really matters. We need to have something to aim for to keep focus on the longer term. In a garden, it is easy to become distracted and some gardeners throw everything at their gardens in the hope that something will stick.
Buying too many plants for a garden is not only a recipe for disappointment, when things don’t end up working as expected, but also makes your efforts unsustainable. By buying only what you need, you can reduce your harmful impact and live in an environmentally friendly way.
Establishing clear goals helps us visualize our own needs and priorities (优先事项) more clearly. It helps us see what our gardens can truly provide for us and see how our gardening efforts can also help others and be of great benefit in the wider world.
8. What does the underlined word “disgruntled” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Frightened. B. Amazed. C. Dissatisfied. D. Relaxed.
9. What does the author compare the garden goals to in the text
A. The dreams that people are looking for. B. The direction that people keep changing.
C. The problems that appear in people’s life. D. The light that guides gardeners forward.
10. What does the author advise gardeners to do in paragraph 5
A. Buy many plants. B. Buy the required plants.
C. Work as they plan to. D. Live in the way they like.
11 What may be the best title for the text
A. How can you set your goals B. What plants are fit for your garden
C. Who can become successful gardeners D. Why is it important to set goals for your garden
D
Josie, who is 17 years old, said, “Why do my parents do the same things they tell me not to do For example, my mum stops me from shouting through the walls and asks me to go and speak to her face-to-face, but she always shouts through the walls to me. What can I do ”
That is a very good point. Parents can be completely inconsistent (不一致), and usually they don’t realize it. You see this a lot in many things like smartphones. Parents always say to their kids, “Oh, you can’t use that. That device (设备) is bad for you, so stop using it at the table. It’s harmful.” But then they are on theirs continually. So what do you expect teenagers to do
The whole “Do as I say, not as I do” thing is an annoyance, especially for a teenager who is dying for independence and respect but isn’t getting them.
What can teenagers do with it I would say you should point it out by calmly saying something like “You tell me not to scream through the walls, but you do it to me, so you can understand where I’m coming from. That’s not ideal.” They might object to it, but I think most parents who care about being parents would logically say, “That’s a reasonable point.”
There are a lot of conflicts (矛盾) going on between teenagers and their parents, but a lot of studies show that the conflicts are resolved a lot more when they turn into a dialogue.
If you can talk at a time when you’re both feeling a bit calmer, like just in the kitchen or doing something unimportant, then go in and say, “Can I just mention it You tell me not to do this, but you do it too.” If you can approach it in a more calm and stress-free manner, most parents will respond positively.
12. How did Josie feel according to her words in paragraph 1
A. Hopeful. B. Bored. C. Proud. D. Confused.
13. What does the underlined word “theirs” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. The parents’ smartphones. B. The tables in the house.
C. The devices in the house. D. The teenagers’ points.
14. What should teenagers do with their parents’ inconsistency
A. Object to it personally. B. Complain of it continually.
C. Talk with their parents calmly. D. Do some studies differently.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To list a fact. B. To offer a suggestion.
C. To show a result. D. To ask a new question.

We sometimes think we can take care of things on our own. However, sometimes we need to use the strength of our groups to get things done.
Ray Drake knew this better than anyone, because he was moved to tears when he understood how good it was to have good neighbors when he needed them.
In 1989, Drake lost the use of his legs. The Iowan man did have family, though. His two older sisters were there to help him get his life back on track and deal with his new situation. The plan worked for years, and their love helped him through hard times.
In August 2020, a strong windstorm stopped everything in Iowa. There was terrible damage, and 40% of the crops in the state were lost. People lost their electricity. Businesses were a mess and homes were all broken. So many people had a hard time.
The storm caused Drake to have a specific trouble. There were broken trees all over his yard, and he couldn’t move them. His sisters were also too small to clean up the trees. The three people really needed help.
After about a week, Drake’s sisters decided to ask for help because the power lines were still down and people were still trying to get their lives back together. They called some of their brother’s old high school friends to see if anyone had a chainsaw (链锯) they could bring over to start cutting up the fallen trees.
Doug Applegate, a friend, looked at the damage and realized that just a chainsaw wouldn’t be enough to clear the fallen trees from Drake’s yard and that the family would need more. He made a call for help in the area to see if anyone there could give a helping hand.
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。
Soon, the call for help was answered.

I was mostly based in Samburu National Reserve, recording details of the population and leading collar (颈圈) operations. We put trackers (跟踪仪) around wild elephants’necks, so we can learn about their activities.
In May 2009, in the middle of the wet season, Rommel appeared again. And it was histurn to be placed a collar. We sent three cars out to search for him. There’s a river running through the park where many elephants gather in the mornings. At 10:30 am, one of my partners clocked Rommel.
A tranquillizer (镇静剂) was carefully shot into his body so we could safely place a collaron him, but for a bull of Rommel’s size it could take longer. After that, he turned away, heading in an unexpected direction and seemed to be near danger by killing himself in thewater. It would be a bad accident. Only by pulling his trunk (象鼻) from the river, could weensure his survival. The problem was that the river was a little bit changeable. Immediately, I decided to act. I jumped in and lifted his heavy, twitching trunk from the water with the help of lifeguards. The team tried to fit him with a collar, but we discovered that we didn’t have one big enough.
We couldn’t risk keeping him there while we created a bigger collar. So I struggled on, holding his trunk high with all my strength. And medicine that took away the efforts of the tranquillizer was delivered.
As soon as his ears started to move, a sign of coming to life, I dropped his trunk and moved to safety. Within a couple of minutes, he was back to life. That was one of my proudest moments

Garden goals can often be unclear. But in my opinion, not having a clear aim in mind when we are designing, creating and maintaining a garden can lead to a range of problems down the road. We must know where we’re going to determine our direction. Usually, without clear goals in mind, we end up setting out in entirely the wrong direction.
Creating our own perfect garden needs time. Waiting and failures can be dispiriting and many gardeners give up or feel disgruntled. It is always best to take our time and make progressive steps toward our overall goals.
With a clear idea of those goals, we can determine better how we are progressing toward them, even when nothing goes according to plan. We can see our success more clearly and can’t get hung up on smaller things that go wrong along the way.
Another thing clear garden goals can give us is a sense of the light at the end of the tunnel—something keeping us centered on what really matters. We need to have something to aim for to keep focus on the longer term. In a garden, it is easy to become distracted and some gardeners throw everything at their gardens in the hope that something will stick.
Buying too many plants for a garden is not only a recipe for disappointment, when things don’t end up working as expected, but also makes your efforts unsustainable. By buying only what you need, you can reduce your harmful impact and live in an environmentally friendly way.
Establishing clear goals helps us visualize our own needs and priorities (优先事项) more clearly. It helps us see what our gardens can truly provide for us and see how our gardening efforts can also help others and be of great benefit in the wider world.
8. What does the underlined word “disgruntled” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Frightened. B. Amazed. C. Dissatisfied. D. Relaxed.
9. What does the author compare the garden goals to in the text
A. The dreams that people are looking for. B. The direction that people keep changing.
C. The problems that appear in people’s life. D. The light that guides gardeners forward.
10. What does the author advise gardeners to do in paragraph 5
A. Buy many plants. B. Buy the required plants.
C. Work as they plan to. D. Live in the way they like.
11. What may be the best title for the text
A. How can you set your goals B. What plants are fit for your garden
C. Who can become successful gardeners D. Why is it important to set goals for your garden
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】

Josie, who is 17 years old, said, “Why do my parents do the same things they tell me not to do For example, my mum stops me from shouting through the walls and asks me to go and speak to her face-to-face, but she always shouts through the walls to me. What can I do ”
That is a very good point. Parents can be completely inconsistent (不一致), and usually they don’t realize it. You see this a lot in many things like smartphones. Parents always say to their kids, “Oh, you can’t use that. That device (设备) is bad for you, so stop using it at the table. It’s harmful.” But then they are on theirs continually. So what do you expect teenagers to do
The whole “Do as I say, not as I do” thing is an annoyance, especially for a teenager who is dying for independence and respect but isn’t getting them.
What can teenagers do with it I would say you should point it out by calmly saying something like “You tell me not to scream through the walls, but you do it to me, so you can understand where I’m coming from. That’s not ideal.” They might object to it, but I think most parents who care about being parents would logically say, “That’s a reasonable point.”
There are a lot of conflicts (矛盾) going on between teenagers and their parents, but a lot of studies show that the conflicts are resolved a lot more when they turn into a dialogue.
If you can talk at a time when you’re both feeling a bit calmer, like just in the kitchen or doing something unimportant, then go in and say, “Can I just mention it You tell me not to do this, but you do it too.” If you can approach it in a more calm and stress-free manner, most parents will respond positively.
12. How did Josie feel according to her words in paragraph 1
A. Hopeful. B. Bored. C. Proud. D. Confused.
13. What does the underlined word “theirs” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. The parents’ smartphones. B. The tables in the house.
C. The devices in the house. D. The teenagers’ points.
14. What should teenagers do with their parents’ inconsistency
A. Object to it personally. B. Complain of it continually.
C. Talk with their parents calmly. D. Do some studies differently.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To list a fact. B. To offer a suggestion.
C. To show a result. D. To ask a new question.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要说明了面对父母教育自己时言行不一的问题，青少年应该冷静地和父母沟通。

【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“You see this a lot in many things like smartphones. Parents always say to their kids, “Oh, you can’t use that. That device (设备) is bad for you, so stop using it at the table. It’s harmful.”(你可以在智能手机等许多产品中看到这种情况。父母总是对他们的孩子说：“哦，你不能用那个。那个设备对你有害，所以不要在餐桌上使用它。这是有害的。”)”以及“But then they are on”中but表示转折，可知，父母总是对孩子说手机有害，不要使用，而他们自己却一直在用自己的手机。由此可知，theirs指的是父母的手机。故选A。

That’s not ideal. ”(我会说你应该冷静地指出来，比如“你告诉我不要隔着墙尖叫，但你对我这么做了，所以你能理解我的想法。这并不理想。”)”可知，面对父母教育自己时言行不一的问题，青少年应该冷静地和父母沟通。故选C。

【答案】Dear Peter,
How is it going I am writing to share with you about the hiking trip I went on with my classmates last Saturday.
We started our hike from the school gate and made our way up to the foot of South Mountain. The route was challenging, but the scenery along the way made it all worth it. We encouraged each other during difficult parts of the trail and cheered each other. At the end of the hike, we all felt a great sense of accomplishment. Personally, I felt more connected to nature.
It was an unforgettable experience. I hope one day we can hike together and create new memories.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(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，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
We sometimes think we can take care of things on our own. However, sometimes we need to use the strength of our groups to get things done.
Ray Drake knew this better than anyone, because he was moved to tears when he understood how good it was to have good neighbors when he needed them.
In 1989, Drake lost the use of his legs. The Iowan man did have family, though. His two older sisters were there to help him get his life back on track and deal with his new situation. The plan worked for years, and their love helped him through hard times.
In August 2020, a strong windstorm stopped everything in Iowa. There was terrible damage, and 40% of the crops in the state were lost. People lost their electricity. Businesses were a mess and homes were all broken. So many people had a hard time.
The storm caused Drake to have a specific trouble. There were broken trees all over his yard, and he couldn’t move them. His sisters were also too small to clean up the trees. The three people really needed help.
After about a week, Drake’s sisters decided to ask for help because the power lines were still down and people were still trying to get their lives back together. They called some of their brother’s old high school friends to see if anyone had a chainsaw (链锯) they could bring over to start cutting up the fallen trees.
Doug Applegate, a friend, looked at the damage and realized that just a chainsaw wouldn’t be enough to clear the fallen trees from Drake’s yard and that the family would need more. He made a call for help in the area to see if anyone there could give a helping hand.
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。
Soon, the call for help was answered.

The collective effort turned a seemingly impossible task into a manageable one.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Soon, the call for help was answered. A group of high school students, along with neighbors from the surrounding area, volunteered to lend their strength and equipment. Upon arrival, they began to take things into their own hands. Some cut the fallen trees and removed them, and others repaired the damaged parts of the house. It was a touching sight to see these young individuals and neighbors working side by side with Doug Applegate and Drake’s sisters.
The collective effort turned a seemingly impossible task into a manageable one. In only two days, the community’s efforts began to pay off. The mess was cleared, home repaired, and the power restored. Drake could not believe it. He thanked all those helpful people as his eyes filled with tears. Drake’s heart was touched not only by the help he received but also by the realization that, even in the face of natural disasters, people came together to support one another.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ray Drake失去了双腿，在两个姐姐的帮助下度过了困难时期。但是一场强烈的风暴使爱荷华州的一切都停止了。风暴给德雷克带来了特殊的麻烦。他的院子里到处都是折断的树，他无法移动它们。他的姐妹们也无法清理树木。在寻求帮助以后，德雷克的朋友道格·阿普尔盖特（Doug Applegate）看着损坏的情况，意识到只有一把电锯不足以清除德雷克院子里倒下的树木，这家人需要更多的电锯。他打电话向该地区求助，看看那里是否有人能伸出援助之手。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“很快，呼救声得到了回应。”可知，第一段可描写Drake得到帮助的过程，一群高中生和周围的邻居自愿提供援助，Drake和姐姐们感动。
②由第二段首句内容“集体的努力把一项看似不可能完成的任务变成了一项可控的任务。”可知，第二段可描写众人团结努力的结果以及Drake的感受。
2.续写线索：一群高中生和邻居自愿提供帮助——砍树并移走树木——修复房屋——令人感动——集体努力使不可能完成的任务变得可控——努力得到回报——感谢所有人的帮助——感悟
3.词汇激活

①自愿做某事：volunteer to do sth./be willing to do sth.
②移除：remove/get rid of
③修理：repair/mend
情绪类
