When Belquer first joined a team to make a better live music experience for deaf and hard- of-hearing people, he was struck by how they had developed workarounds to enjoy concerts. “What they were doing at the time was holding balloons to feel the vibrations (震动) through their fingers,” Belquer said. He thought the team could make something to help hard-of- hearing people enjoy live music even more with the technology now available.
Belquer, who is also a musician and theater artist, is now the “Chief Vibrational Officer” of Music: Not Impossible, which uses new technology to address social issues like poverty and disability access. His team started by tying vibrating different cell phone motors to bodies, but that didn’t quite work. The vibrations were all the same. Eventually, they worked with engineers to develop a light haptic (触觉的) suit with a total of 24 vibrating plates. There are 20 of them tied to a vest that fits tightly around the body like a hiking backpack, plus one that ties to each wrist and ankle. When you wear the suit, it’s surprising how it feels.
The vibrations are mixed by a haptic DJ who controls the location, frequency and intensity of feeling across the suits, just as a music DJ mixes sounds in an artful way. “What we’re doing is selecting and mixing what we want and send it to different parts of the body,” said the DJ. The haptic suits were just one component of the event. There were American Sign Language interpreters; the music was captioned on a screen on the stage.
The suits are the star attraction. Lily Lipman, who has auditory processing disorder, lit up when asked about her experience. “It’s cool, because I’m never quite sure if I’m hearing what other people are hearing, so it’s amazing to get the music in my body.”
4. What surprised Belquer about people with hearing problems
A. The way they enjoyed music.
B. The attitude they held to life.
C. The love they had for balloons.
D. The frequency they vibrated fingers.
5. Why did the team’s initial attempt fail
A. The motors were the same.
B. The vibrations lacked variety.
C. The motors hardly worked.
D. The vibrations were irregular.
6. What did the DJ do
A. He interpreted the sign language.
B. He captioned the music on stage.
C. He selected suits for the attendees.
D. He helped people feel the music.
7. What does Lily Lipman think of the suit
A. Comforting. B. Challenging. C. Satisfying. D. Encouraging.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了音乐家兼戏剧艺术家Belquer和其团队利用现有技术制作一个套装来帮助听力障碍人士更好地享受现场音乐。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“When Belquer first joined a team to make a better live music experience for deaf and hard- of-hearing people, he was struck by how they had developed workarounds to enjoy concerts.(当Belquer第一次加入一个为聋哑人和听力障碍人士提供更好的现场音乐体验的团队时，他对他们如何想出享受音乐会的变通方法感到震惊。)”可知，Belquer对听障人士想出的享受音乐的方法而震惊，故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“His team started by tying vibrating different cell phone motors to bodies, but that didn’t quite work. The vibrations were all the same. (他的团队首先将不同的手机振动电机绑在身体上，但这并不太奏效。振动都是一样的。)”可知，他的团队最初的尝试失败了，这是因为震动都是一样的，即缺乏多样性，故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The vibrations are mixed by a haptic DJ who controls the location, frequency and intensity of feeling across the suits, just as a music DJ mixes sounds in an artful way. “What we’re doing is selecting and mixing what we want and send it to different parts of the body,” said the DJ.(振动由触觉DJ混合，他控制着套装中感觉的位置、频率和强度，就像音乐DJ以巧妙的方式混合声音一样。“我们正在做的就是选择并混合我们想要的东西，并将其发送到身体的不同部位，”DJ 说)”可知，DJ选择并混合想要的东西，并将其发送到身体的不同部位，以此来帮助人们感受音乐。由此可推知，DJ帮助人们感受音乐，故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Lily Lipman所说的话“It’s cool, because I’m never quite sure if I’m hearing what other people are hearing, so it’s amazing to get the music in my body.(这很酷，因为我永远不确定我是否听到了其他人听到的声音，所以让音乐进入我的身体真是太棒了。)”可推知，Lily Lipman对这个套装是满意的，故选C。

For some climate challenges, there are relatively straightforward fixes. For example, renewable energy sources can already replace much of the energy needed to power buildings, cars and more.
There’s no substitute for food, but shifting what we eat is possible. If everyone on the planet ate vegetables, greenhouse gas emissions from the food system could be cut by more than half; a planet of vegetarians would reduce food emissions by two thirds. If we stopped consuming conventional food and relied on a lab-grown nutritional food instead of soil or water-produced food, we could prevent about 1 degree centigrade of future warming, according to a recent paper that considered the unique thought experiment.
“What this work says is: Hey, look, we can still get pretty big wins even if we’re not making these really big changes in dietary composition, says Clark. “I think that’s really powerful, because a lot of people just don’t want to make those really big dietary changes, for many reasons. While vegetarian diets are becoming more common in the US and Europe, it’s absolutely ridiculous to assume that everyone will be eating a vegetarian diet 30 years from now,” he says.
Food choices are personal, deeply connected to culture, religion, emotion, economic concerns and so much more. “Rather than dictate how to do, it’s much better to try to give choice,” says Naglaa, a food, nutrition and environment researcher at Tufts University. This approach aims to inform people so that they can make choices that correspond with their needs and values. As a whole, those choices can benefit both human health and the planet. For that to happen would require working alongside large-scale efforts to reshape industrial food production.
“But what people choose to eat daily is far from insignificant,” says Clark. “We don’t all have to become vegetarians overnight. Small changes can make big impacts.”
8. How does the author show the effects of dietary changes
A. By answering questions. B. By listing figures.
C. By analyzing the reasons. D. By using a quotation.
9. What’s Clark’s attitude towards small dietary changes
A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical. C. Negative. D. Favorable.
10. What does the underlined word “dictate” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Perceive. B. Refuse. C. Command. D. Describe.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. How small changes to our diet can benefit the planet
B. Renewable energy sources can reduce gas emissions
C. Small changes in life choices can make big impacts
D. Lab-grown nutritional food could prevent future warming
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了气候变化的一些挑战，以及如何通过改变饮食习惯来应对这些挑战。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“There’s no substitute for food, but shifting what we eat is possible. If everyone on the planet ate vegetables, greenhouse gas emissions from the food system could be cut by more than half; a planet of vegetarians would reduce food emissions by two thirds. If we stopped consuming conventional food and relied on a lab-grown nutritional food instead of soil or water-produced food, we could prevent about 1 degree centigrade of future warming, according to a recent paper that considered the unique thought experiment.(食物没有替代品，但改变我们的饮食是可能的。如果地球上的每个人都吃蔬菜，粮食系统的温室气体排放量可以减少一半以上；一个素食主义者的星球将减少三分之二的食物排放。根据最近的一篇论文，考虑到这个独特的思想实验，如果我们停止食用传统食品，依靠实验室种植的营养食品，而不是土壤或水生产的食品，我们可以防止未来约1摄氏度的变暖)”可知，作者通过列举一系列食物改变后的数据来展示饮食变化的影响。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““But what people choose to eat daily is far from insignificant,” says Clark. “We don’t all have to become vegetarians overnight. Small changes can make big impacts.”(“但是人们每天选择吃什么绝非无关紧要，”克拉克说。“我们不需要一夜之间都成为素食主义者。小的改变可以产生大的影响。”)”可知，克拉克认为小的改变可以产生大的影响，所以是支持的。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“Food choices are personal, deeply connected to culture, religion, emotion, economic concerns and so much more.(食物选择是个人的，与文化、宗教、情感、经济问题等等密切相关)”以及后文“it’s much better to try to give choice(不如试着给他们选择)”结合Rather than可知，dictate应是和后文的give choice相对应，意思应相反，且和食物选择有关，所以推知是“与其命令怎么做，不如试着给他们选择”之意，所以dictate是“命令”之意，和D项意思相近。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“There’s no substitute for food, but shifting what we eat is possible. If everyone on the planet ate vegetables, greenhouse gas emissions from the food system could be cut by more than half; a planet of vegetarians would reduce food emissions by two thirds. If we stopped consuming conventional food and relied on a lab-grown nutritional food instead of soil or water-produced food, we could prevent about 1 degree centigrade of future warming, according to a recent paper that considered the unique thought experiment.(食物没有替代品，但改变我们的饮食是可能的。如果地球上的每个人都吃蔬菜，粮食系统的温室气体排放量可以减少一半以上；一个素食主义者的星球将减少三分之二的食物排放。根据最近的一篇论文，考虑到这个独特的思想实验，如果我们停止食用传统食品，依靠实验室种植的营养食品，而不是土壤或水生产的食品，我们可以防止未来约1摄氏度的变暖)”和最后一段““But what people choose to eat daily is far from insignificant,” says Clark. “We don’t all have to become vegetarians overnight. Small changes can make big impacts.”(“但是人们每天选择吃什么绝非无关紧要，”克拉克说。“我们不需要一夜之间都成为素食主义者。小的改变可以产生大的影响。”)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了通过改变饮食习惯来应对气候变化，所以A项“How small changes to our diet can benefit the planet(饮食上的小小改变能给地球带来多大的好处)”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。
D
Bringing species like beavers (河狸) back to England is no longer a priority, the government said on Friday to criticism from wildlife groups.
A recent report shows that one in six UK species are at risk of extinction. In September more than 60 conservation organisations reported a significant decline in species due to expansions in farming and the effects of climate change. In recent years, animals and plants have been reintroduced by charities as part of efforts to restore the country’s reduced biodiversity.
Despite the government allowing this, the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee concluded in July that there was an absence of long-term plans on how to manage this. In response, the government has now said that the ”reintroduction of species is not a priority“.
The government said it was focused on increasing biodiversity through habitat restoration. The government’s environment department has come under scrutiny(详细审查) for not doing more to prevent sewage dumping and other forms of pollution in England’s waterways.
Sir Robert Goodwill, chair of the Committee, said he was disappointed with the government response. Bringing back extinct species is a controversial issue-although farmers and landowners appear broadly supportive, there are risks of reintroducing new species, and without clear guidance, problems could arise.
A recent study showed that river barriers similar to those built by beavers can protect communities at risk of flooding. But there have also been cases documented in Europe where beavers have built their dams in places that have damaged crops and changed rivers.
Joan Edwards, director of Policy & Public Affairs at The Wildlife Trusts said, ”Reintroducing wildlife must be part of the UK government’s arsenal (武器) for tackling nature loss and climate change-it is astonishing there is no strategy for doing so.
“The return of wild beavers can help to recreate lost wetlands, with a knock-on effect that benefits other wildlife including insects, invertebrates and birds. Beavers also slow the flow of water, which can reduce flood risks to towns and villages, ”she said.
12. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A study. B. A diary. C. A guide. D. A report.
13. How did the UK government plan to increase biodiversity
A. By expanding farming. B. By offering guidance.
C. By restoring habitat. D. By developing strategy.
14. What did Joan Edwards think of reintroduction of wildlife
A. It was beneficial. B. It was controversial.
C. It was messy. D. It was costly.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. The advantages of reintroducing wildlife.
B. The responses to a government statement.
C. The effects of climate change on farming.
D. The approaches to increasing biodiversity.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讨论了英国政府关于重新引入像海狸这样的物种的立场，以及这一决定受到野生动物团体批评的情况。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“A recent report shows that one in six UK species are at risk of extinction. In September more than 60 conservation organisations reported a significant decline in species due to expansions in farming and the effects of climate change.(最近的一份报告显示，英国六分之一的物种面临灭绝的风险。9月，60多个保护组织报告称，由于农业的扩张和气候变化的影响，物种数量大幅下降)”以及第三段“Despite the government allowing this, the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee concluded in July that there was an absence of long-term plans on how to manage this.(尽管政府允许这样做，但环境、食品和农村事务委员会在7月得出结论，缺乏如何管理这一问题的长期计划)”可推理出，本文来自于一个报告，故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The government said it was focused on increasing biodiversity through habitat restoration(政府表示，其重点是通过栖息地恢复来增加生物多样性)”可知，英国政府计划通过恢复栖息地增加生物多样性，故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The return of wild beavers can help to recreate lost wetlands, with a knock-on effect that benefits other wildlife including insects, invertebrates and birds. Beavers also slow the flow of water, which can reduce flood risks to towns and villages(野生海狸的回归有助于重建失去的湿地，并产生连锁反应，使包括昆虫、无脊椎动物和鸟类在内的其他野生动物受益。海狸还减缓了水流，这可以降低城镇和村庄的洪水风险)”可推理出，琼·爱德华兹认为野生动物的重新引入是有益的，故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Bringing species like beavers (河狸) back to England is no longer a priority, the government said on Friday to criticism from wildlife groups.(周五，英国政府表示，将海狸等物种带回英国不再是当务之急，这遭到了野生动物组织的批评)”、第四段“The government said it was focused on increasing biodiversity through habitat restoration(政府表示，其重点是通过栖息地恢复来增加生物多样性)”以及最后一段“The return of wild beavers can help to recreate lost wetlands, with a knock-on effect that benefits other wildlife including insects, invertebrates and birds. Beavers also slow the flow of water, which can reduce flood risks to towns and villages(野生海狸的回归有助于重建失去的湿地，并产生连锁反应，使包括昆虫、无脊椎动物和鸟类在内的其他野生动物受益。海狸还减缓了水流，这可以降低城镇和村庄的洪水风险)”推理出，本文主要围绕着英国政府最近的声明，即重新引入海狸等物种不是优先事项，以及野生动物团体、保护组织和罗伯特·古德利爵士和琼·爱德华兹等关键人物随后的反应。它讨论了政府对通过栖息地恢复而不是重新引入物种来增加生物多样性的立场，并强调了对此事的不同意见，包括重新引入的好处和潜在风险，以及缺乏明确的管理战略，所以本文主要说的是对政府声明的反应，故选B项。

【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：无线电波不仅在我们的电子设备之间传递信号，而且还在整个宇宙中传递信号。universe意为“宇宙”，为独一无二的事物，前应加定冠词修饰。故填the。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意：电磁辐射包括可见光、x射线和其他类型的能量，所有这些能量都以波的形式在太空中传播。分析句子结构可知，此处visible light, X-rays和other types of energy为并列宾语，用and连接。故填and。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：为了播放音乐或新闻，广播电台的发射塔向空中发射无线电波。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词sends，所以broadcast用非谓语形式，根据句意，此处表目的，用不定式表目的状语，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填To broadcast。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：手机和无线计算机网络也以无线电波的形式发送和接收信号，雷达系统和GPS设备也是如此。空后是名词，所以空处应填形容词作定语，此处应用wire的形容词wireless意为“无线的”符合语境。故填wireless。

【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：它还包括宇宙中的许多物体。空前是介词，所以空处应填名词作宾语，object意为“物体”为可数名词，根据lots of可知，用复数形式。故填objects。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：地球上的射电望远镜可以接收到这些遥远天体发出的无线电波。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语can tune，所以make用非谓语形式，根据空后的by可知，用过去分词表被动作定语。故填made。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：观察引力波可以让人们更多地了解这些遥远的引力波是由什么组成的，以及它们是如何准确移动的。空处修饰空前的动词，用副词修饰。故填exactly。

Whether or not to reward children’s progress with material things
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Whether or not to reward children’s progress with material things
Whether or not to reward children’s progress with material things is widely debated. Those who support the idea argue that rewards teach children the value of hard work and encourage accomplishment. On the other hand, those who are against the idea suggest that material rewards can reduce self-motivation.
Personally, I believe that rewards have their place but should not be the only motivator. Instead, children should be taught that success is about personal growth, hard work and the joy of learning. Parents and educators must find a balance between rewarding progress and promoting a sense of pride in accomplishments. Ultimately, material rewards should not overshadow the value of the learning process itself.

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。
“Hi, Connie.”My sister-in-law’s familiar bright and clear voice greeted me from the other end of the phone line early one Monday afternoon. “Mom and I just finished baking banana bread, and we’d love to bring you out a warm loaf. Can you have the coffee on in half an hour ”
Since thoughts of my mother-in-law’s freshly baked banana bread clouded my sensibilities and made me unable to think of an excuse, I replied in my cheeriest voice, “Of course, come on up. I’ll be here!”
What was I thinking I can’t let my mother-in-law see the house like this! She’s under the impression that I’m perfect. I had to attempt to clean the house within thirty minutes. The past week, however, had been even busier than usual with running my five very active kids back and forth for extra-curricular activities. As a result, the house was neglected.
To add to my awkward situation, I had spent the morning sitting in the garden drinking coffee in an effort to recover from the rushed weekend of activities. But I told myself, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Then I put my words into action!
I cleaned up the kitchen in ten minutes. Things were looking good, and I still had twenty minutes remaining. I quickly swept the living room, throwing toys into the toy box as I worked my way across the floor. Glancing at the clock on my way upstairs to the kids’ bedrooms, I was relieved to find I had five minutes to spare. That gave me just enough time to tidy up the bathroom and run a brush through my hair.
Whew! I did it! I put on a fresh pot of coffee and since my guests hadn’t yet arrived, I decided to wipe off the chicken eggs I had gathered after taking the kids to the bus stop. It would be a nice gesture to give them some eggs in return for the banana bread.
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 was finishing the last egg when I heard a knock at the door behind me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But that smile was short-lived when my oldest son ran through the front door.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I was finishing the last egg when I heard a knock at the door behind me. I led them in and couldn’t help smiling when the first words out of my sister-in-law’s mouth were, “Wow, your house is so tidy, and you even have time to wash eggs!” We entered the dining room and sat down at the table. As I excused myself to go back into the kitchen to get the coffee and put the delicious bread on a platter, I heard them whispering that they didn’t understand how I did it with five kids. I felt such a wonderful sense of satisfaction and a big smile spread across my face.
But that smile was short-lived when my oldest son ran through the front door. With a look of shock on his face, he loudly asked, “Mom, who cleaned the house ” My mouth fell open, and I did what any mother of a smart-mouthed teenager would do. I cleverly suggested, “Sit down and have some of Grandma’s delicious banana bread, son!” Then I quickly changed the subject and gave my son a warning look. He received my signal and went to greet his grandma and aunt with a big smile.

When Belquer first joined a team to make a better live music experience for deaf and hard- of-hearing people, he was struck by how they had developed workarounds to enjoy concerts. “What they were doing at the time was holding balloons to feel the vibrations (震动) through their fingers,” Belquer said. He thought the team could make something to help hard-of- hearing people enjoy live music even more with the technology now available.
Belquer, who is also a musician and theater artist, is now the “Chief Vibrational Officer” of Music: Not Impossible, which uses new technology to address social issues like poverty and disability access. His team started by tying vibrating different cell phone motors to bodies, but that didn’t quite work. The vibrations were all the same. Eventually, they worked with engineers to develop a light haptic (触觉的) suit with a total of 24 vibrating plates. There are 20 of them tied to a vest that fits tightly around the body like a hiking backpack, plus one that ties to each wrist and ankle. When you wear the suit, it’s surprising how it feels.
The vibrations are mixed by a haptic DJ who controls the location, frequency and intensity of feeling across the suits, just as a music DJ mixes sounds in an artful way. “What we’re doing is selecting and mixing what we want and send it to different parts of the body,” said the DJ. The haptic suits were just one component of the event. There were American Sign Language interpreters; the music was captioned on a screen on the stage.
The suits are the star attraction. Lily Lipman, who has auditory processing disorder, lit up when asked about her experience. “It’s cool, because I’m never quite sure if I’m hearing what other people are hearing, so it’s amazing to get the music in my body.”
4. What surprised Belquer about people with hearing problems
A. The way they enjoyed music.
B. The attitude they held to life.
C. The love they had for balloons.
D. The frequency they vibrated fingers.
5. Why did the team’s initial attempt fail
A. The motors were the same.
B. The vibrations lacked variety.
C. The motors hardly worked.
D. The vibrations were irregular.
6. What did the DJ do
A. He interpreted the sign language.
B. He captioned the music on stage.
C. He selected suits for the attendees.
D. He helped people feel the music.
7. What does Lily Lipman think of the suit
A. Comforting. B. Challenging. C. Satisfying. D. Encouraging.
C
For some climate challenges, there are relatively straightforward fixes. For example, renewable energy sources can already replace much of the energy needed to power buildings, cars and more.
There’s no substitute for food, but shifting what we eat is possible. If everyone on the planet ate vegetables, greenhouse gas emissions from the food system could be cut by more than half; a planet of vegetarians would reduce food emissions by two thirds. If we stopped consuming conventional food and relied on a lab-grown nutritional food instead of soil or water-produced food, we could prevent about 1 degree centigrade of future warming, according to a recent paper that considered the unique thought experiment.
“What this work says is: Hey, look, we can still get pretty big wins even if we’re not making these really big changes in dietary composition, says Clark. “I think that’s really powerful, because a lot of people just don’t want to make those really big dietary changes, for many reasons. While vegetarian diets are becoming more common in the US and Europe, it’s absolutely ridiculous to assume that everyone will be eating a vegetarian diet 30 years from now,” he says.
Food choices are personal, deeply connected to culture, religion, emotion, economic concerns and so much more. “Rather than dictate how to do, it’s much better to try to give choice,” says Naglaa, a food, nutrition and environment researcher at Tufts University. This approach aims to inform people so that they can make choices that correspond with their needs and values. As a whole, those choices can benefit both human health and the planet. For that to happen would require working alongside large-scale efforts to reshape industrial food production.

Bringing species like beavers (河狸) back to England is no longer a priority, the government said on Friday to criticism from wildlife groups.
A recent report shows that one in six UK species are at risk of extinction. In September more than 60 conservation organisations reported a significant decline in species due to expansions in farming and the effects of climate change. In recent years, animals and plants have been reintroduced by charities as part of efforts to restore the country’s reduced biodiversity.
Despite the government allowing this, the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee concluded in July that there was an absence of long-term plans on how to manage this. In response, the government has now said that the ”reintroduction of species is not a priority“.
The government said it was focused on increasing biodiversity through habitat restoration. The government’s environment department has come under scrutiny(详细审查) for not doing more to prevent sewage dumping and other forms of pollution in England’s waterways.
Sir Robert Goodwill, chair of the Committee, said he was disappointed with the government response. Bringing back extinct species is a controversial issue-although farmers and landowners appear broadly supportive, there are risks of reintroducing new species, and without clear guidance, problems could arise.
A recent study showed that river barriers similar to those built by beavers can protect communities at risk of flooding. But there have also been cases documented in Europe where beavers have built their dams in places that have damaged crops and changed rivers.
Joan Edwards, director of Policy & Public Affairs at The Wildlife Trusts said, ”Reintroducing wildlife must be part of the UK government’s arsenal (武器) for tackling nature loss and climate change-it is astonishing there is no strategy for doing so.
“The return of wild beavers can help to recreate lost wetlands, with a knock-on effect that benefits other wildlife including insects, invertebrates and birds. Beavers also slow the flow of water, which can reduce flood risks to towns and villages, ”she said.
12. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A study. B. A diary. C. A guide. D. A report.
13. How did the UK government plan to increase biodiversity
A By expanding farming. B. By offering guidance.
C. By restoring habitat. D. By developing strategy.
14. What did Joan Edwards think of reintroduction of wildlife
A. It was beneficial. B. It was controversial.
C. It was messy. D. It was costly.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. The advantages of reintroducing wildlife.
B. The responses to a government statement.
C. The effects of climate change on farming.
D. The approaches to increasing biodiversity.

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。
“Hi, Connie.”My sister-in-law’s familiar bright and clear voice greeted me from the other end of the phone line early one Monday afternoon. “Mom and I just finished baking banana bread, and we’d love to bring you out a warm loaf. Can you have the coffee on in half an hour ”
Since thoughts of my mother-in-law’s freshly baked banana bread clouded my sensibilities and made me unable to think of an excuse, I replied in my cheeriest voice, “Of course, come on up. I’ll be here!”
What was I thinking I can’t let my mother-in-law see the house like this! She’s under the impression that I’m perfect. I had to attempt to clean the house within thirty minutes. The past week, however, had been even busier than usual with running my five very active kids back and forth for extra-curricular activities. As a result, the house was neglected.
To add to my awkward situation, I had spent the morning sitting in the garden drinking coffee in an effort to recover from the rushed weekend of activities. But I told myself, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Then I put my words into action!
I cleaned up the kitchen in ten minutes. Things were looking good, and I still had twenty minutes remaining. I quickly swept the living room, throwing toys into the toy box as I worked my way across the floor. Glancing at the clock on my way upstairs to the kids’ bedrooms, I was relieved to find I had five minutes to spare. That gave me just enough time to tidy up the bathroom and run a brush through my hair.
Whew! I did it! I put on a fresh pot of coffee, and since my guests hadn’t yet arrived, I decided to wipe off the chicken eggs I had gathered after taking the kids to the bus stop. It would be a nice gesture to give them some eggs in return for the banana bread.

1.续写词数应为150左右;

I was finishing the last egg when I heard a knock at the door behind me
