Gabon, on the west coast of Africa, has numerous rainforests, open grasslands, white sand beaches and rushing rivers. Here are four adventures that can let you have unforgettable experiences.
The Wild Species Adventure
The site of this adventure is close to a national park, which has elephants, monkeys, leopards, red river hogs and so on. Visitors can go on a journey by jeep and have a chance to see the country's natural beauty and different birds in a nearby reserve.
The Fishing Adventure
Gabon has some really big fish and miles of untouched coastlines, and the fishing spots are not packed, because they are wide apart. When fishing, visitors can find themselves in pleasant places, surrounded by palm trees during the adventure. Gabon's unique lagoon(环礁湖)system provides visitors with a range of fish, all ready for you to join in the fishing contest.
The Private Island Adventure
It is difficult for visitors to find this private island on the sea on booking or a trip advisor, but it is known by locals. It offers small but comfortable rooms to rest. Visitors can try fun activities like wakeboarding and boating. During the whale season, visitors can also rent boats to take a close look at whales by following responsible viewing guidelines.
The Whale Watching Adventure
There is a great diversity of marine mammals to see in this adventure, especially whales. Some of the whales can be found at all time, while others, for example, the humpback whales, only spend a few months from July to September.

During World War Ⅱ, Duchess Nina Douglas-Hamilton played a vital role in looking after animals.
As the war broke out, the government issued orders for the ma ss killing livestock(家畜)to prevent them from being captured or destroyed by the enemy. Duchess Nina launched a campaign to save as many animals as possible, and soon became known as the “animal heroine” for her efforts.
Duchess Nina worked with local farmers and animal owners to relocate animals to safer areas, such as the Scottish Highlands. She also established a network of volunteers who helped to care for animals during the war. She organized feeding programs, medical care and transportation, ensuring that animals were well looked after even during the most difficult times. The most challenging aspect of her work was the shortage of food during the war. So she established a vegetable garden and used leftovers to create nutritious meals for animals. She also reached out to the public for donations of food and supplies, and was able to secure enough resources to keep animals healthy and fed.
In addition to her work with domestic animals, Duchess Nina was also a strong advocate for wildlife conservation. She established a center for wild animals in Scotland, where she provided a safe place for deer, foxes and other animals that were threatened by the war. She also worked with local protection groups to protect natural habitats.
Duchess Nina's work during World War Ⅱ was not without its risks. She frequently risked her life to save animals, often driving through perilous areas
Sadly, some people saw her efforts as a distraction from the war effort. However, she continued to work tirelessly for animals. After the war, Duchess Nina's work was recognized by the government and she got an important award for her services to animals.
24. How did Duchess Nina probably feel when she heard the government's orders
A. Calm. B. Worried. C. Excited. D. Encouraged.
25. What was the biggest problem that Duchess Nina faced
A. Nobody gave her donations.
B. She couldn't find enough volunteers.
C. The animals didn't have enough food to eat.
D. Local farmers didn't give her enough support.
26. Why did Duchess Nina start the center in Scotland
A. To keep domestic animals there.
B. To attract local protection groups.
C. To provide a home for wild animals.
D. To offer a safe place to animal owners.
27. What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Urban. B. Dangerous. C. Faraway. D. Poor.
C
Underwater travel is difficult and dangerous, but many people have to stay deep under the ocean. Thus, humans have come up with a few designs of vehicles to move around under the ocean. But what if there was a better way to travel
Hilary Bart-Smith, an engineer at the University of Virginia, thinks a vehicle that travels like a man ta ray(魔鬼鱼) would be able to operate for long periods at sea. Manta rays which can grow up to 29 feet long are among the most efficient swimmers in the ocean. Different from animals and people pushing against water, man ta rays swim by moving through the water with wing-like movements of their fins(鳍). Efficiency means using less energy to move farther.
Bart-Smith and other engineers at the University of Virginia had to find out what manta rays looked like on the inside to better understand how they move. They took X-rays to find out how a manta ray's fins are built. They found that a web of cartilage (软骨) stretches across each fin.
Once the engineers knew how a manta ray's fi n was constructed, they could build one of their own. They made a long row of metal struts with many hinges to imitate the man ta ray's web of cartilage. The engineers put their design inside a flexible cover, shaped like a manta ray's fin. Then they tested it in the university swimming pool. They were happy to see that it swam just like a man ta ray in the ocean.
Engineers and scientists are still learning and experimenting with how to imitate these amazing animals. For now, engineers study their movements and learn from the most efficient swimmers in the ocean. Perhaps someday engineers will be able to build man ta ray robots that are big enough to transport people.
28. How do man ta rays swim
A. By moving like birds. B. By swimming like humans.
C. By swimming like other fishes. D. By pushing against water like animals.
29. What can we learn from the second and third paragraphs
A. Manta rays look like travel vehicles.
B. Manta rays are the fastest swimmers.
C. Manta rays can grow at least 29 feet long.
D. Manta rays’ fins consist of a web of cartilage.
30. Why do the engineers study manta rays
A. To learn about their habits. B. To control manta ray robots.
C. To protect marine creatures. D. To design undersea vehicles.
31. What's the author's attitude towards the research
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.
D
The most obvious dog fetish(迷恋) today is the longing for cuteness. Almost every day you can see adorable pictures of dogs and other animals that will make you smile and say, “How cute!”
It is a cultural phenomenon that the media scholar James Meese calls the “cute economy” which exists primarily on social media, is user-generated, and is heavily dominated by pictures of animals, especially pets. The goal is to generate a positive response, probably followed by a tap on the screen to “like” and “share”. We can click through image after image of cute animals doing cute things, feeling a little boost of good cheer.
The marketing researchers have identified some of the most common categories of cuteness in online pet content: animals doing silly things; animals of extreme size; animals with unusual looks; and animals behaving in ways that seem human-like. Dogs and other animals in the “cute economy” are often further humanized by being dressed in clothing and accessorized(装饰) with hats, jewellery, nail polish and fur dyed a rainbow of colors. Users who post successfully and with some strategies can make money by doing so. Thus, certain dogs have become cuteness celebrities, with millions of devoted followers and paid content from advertisers.
Unfortunately, the price of the “cute economy” comes at a serious cost. The cutest and most popular breeds tend to be those with the most significant risk of health and behavioral problems. Cuteness is often coupled with their discomfort. People are drawn to the cuteness of dogs with extremely foreshortened skulls and extremely short legs and awkwardly long bodies, such as the French bulldog and the corgi.
Actually, there are well-established health issues. We should treat the “cute economy” with caution, like resisting the commodification(商品化) of appearance by opting out of social media channels promoting the “cute economy”. We can also choose not to “like” or “share” images of dogs whose cuteness is linked with discomfort. Although we are biologically attracted to dogs that are super cute, we should be mindful in our“impulses”.
32. What is the key to the “cute economy” according to the text
A. Cute animals' attractive appearance.
B. Taking pictures of different animals.
C. Pet owners' liking adorable pictures.
D. Posting cute animals’ pictures on social media.
33. Which kind of cuteness is most likely to be the online pet content
A. A normal-sized dog is eating bones.
B. A white cat is quietly lying next to its owner.
C. A monkey is attentively taking care of its baby.
D. A parrot dressed in a suit is singing and dancing.
34. What is the side effect of the “cute economy”
A. It will change the animals' nature.
B. It may make the animals not so cute.
C. It may cause health problems to the animals.
D. It will result in a decline in animal population.
35. What may be the best title for the text
A. Marketing Strategy—Cuteness B. The Cute Economy and Its Price
C. Happiness from Pets D. Sha re Pictures or Not

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。
Anyone experiences a failure occasionally. But how do you deal with it when it occurs Blaming yourself makes no sense. Faced with a failure, try to find proper ways, which is the key to success.
36 If you can't realize what the problem is and don't process failures clearly, you'll find yourself unable to sail along elegantly like a boat through the water ahead. So it is of great importance to spare some time to analyse the relevant causes of the failures.
Practise self-acceptance and self compassion(自我同情) 37 Self acceptance does not mean believing that you are perfect. It means accepting yourself for who you really are. Self-compassion does not mean giving up on growth and self-improvement, but it means showing kindness to yourself. Practise them, decide what to do differently next time and move on.
Reframe positively. Positive reframing requires viewing things in a new way that allows you to recognize and appreciate positive aspects of your situation 38 As a result, failures can be transformed into challenges and new possibilities to experience life more fully.
Laugh it off. Laughing at yourself about a mistake you made is a great gift, which requires a shared understanding of humanity. The point is that once you can laugh at a failure, it is no longer terminal Instead, you are ready to go ahead 39
Of course, failures are actually not fun 40 Finally, you'll make fewer mistakes, experience fewer failures and naturally develop yourself into the being you are destined to become.
A. Understand what has gone wrong.
B. Save every minute to avoid failures.
C. They are the basics of moving on from failures.
D. If you can laugh it off, then you can forgive yourself.
E. Use the above ways, learn from failures and move forward.
F. Similarly, if you can laugh at yourself, others will laugh at you.
G. It helps you take advantage of opportunities rather than avoid problems.

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。
Arnold, an eagle, was living at a reserve. As a cute and pretty bird, he was well cared for and loved by the staff.
One day last month, one of the caretakers noticed something strange. Keeper Eric saw Arnold protecting a large low-lying land in the ground. The spot was carefully decorated with leaves and branches, and featured a simple rock right in the center. Later that day, Eric even saw Arnold sitting on the rock as if it were an egg. And Eric found Arnold continued to do so day after day. “Male eagles take an equal part in raising young, so this is a very natural behavior for Arnold, a male eagle, ” Eric thought.
Then Eric shared Arnold's story on the Internet. He posted something like this: Every so often, our lovely eagle, Arnold, rearranges the sticks in his nest and cackles(咯咯叫) at any other eagles that come too close. We wish Arnold all the luck in the world, but we're not telling him the reality of the situation. We have to see a rock hatch(孵化)!
Many viewers were impressed by Eric’s humour and meanwhile assumed that Arnold was lonely and needed some mates, but Eric insisted Arnold was choosing to do this on his own. “Arnold is not lonely! He is housed with four other bald eagles—two males and two females,” Eric responded. “He is not welcome help with his nest, nor is he seeking help! He has not been finding mates, so he very clearly wants to do this on his own. He is perfectly content! Maybe he wishes to be a father.” More and more viewers agreed with Eric and advised finding a baby eagle for Arnold before having his own baby.
Last week, an eagle nest containing one chick(雏鸟) was blown down by very high winds. The chick's mother died, but the chick was found and rescued by a faithful nest watcher. Eric suddenly had a good idea. He finally decided to bring the chick to Arnold's side.
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。
The chick would give Arnold a chance to be a real father, but it would also be a challenge for him.
When the chick got close to Arnold, a wonder occurred.高三考试英语试卷参考答案
