In the early part of his life, Seiichi Sano was a busy business owner. Later in life, he took on other difficult activities. At the age of 80, he climbed Mount Fuji, Japan’s highest mountain. Soon after, he started surfing.
Sano turned 90 this year. After being recognized by Guinness World Records as the oldest male to surf, he’s considering trying other activities. “Maybe I’ll try bouldering,” he said, suggesting he might do it first in a gym. “Outside it might be a bit dangerous.”
But maybe he will just stick with what he knows. “I think it would be interesting to surf until I’m 100,” Sano said. “I think I can take better care of myself when I have goals like this. Even now, I take better care of myself than I did before.”
Sane said he got the idea to try surfing from a worker at his local bank. The man’s skin was always dark but healthy. He did not look like a usual banker. His secret he said, was surfing. So Sano found a teacher.
“I don’t consider myself an old man,” he said in his wet suit, board standing next to him. “I have never thought of myself as an old persona. I always feel that I can still move forward. I can still do it. I can still enjoy it.”
Sano joined hundreds of other surfers recently at Enoshima. All the surfers were younger, of course. Several young students who also worked with Sano’s surf teacher, 46-year-old Kazuto Shimizu, talked about Sano.
“To be honest, I was surprised by his age,” said Shimizu. “I was most worried that he would get injured. I did not know how fit he was, physically.”
Sano still runs a business that supplies wood to building companies. He works 9-to-5 at the job. Surfing reduces tension for him.
4. What made Sano get a Guinness World Record for surfing
A. His age. B. His wonderful skill. C. His fast speed. D. His competition result.
5. What is the reason for Sano’s beginning surfing
A. The idea of enriching his life. B. The decision to improve his health.
C. His dream of becoming world-famous. D. The unusual appearance of a bank worker.
6. Which of the following can best describe Sano
A. Creative. B. Adventurous. C. Careful. D. Generous.
7. What do we know about Shimizu
A. He has difficulty training Sano. B. He prefers to teach young people.
C. He was concerned about Sano’s health. D. He praised Sano for his love for work.

During the Halloween season, many people visit pumpkin (南瓜) fields or carve pumpkins. But paddle (用桨划) a 1,000-pound pumpkin in a race On October 22 in Oregon, paddlers in Halloween clothes did just that.
The West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta took place on the lake in Tualatin, a small city outside Portland. Back in 2004, a club called the Pacific Giant Vegetable Growers (PGVG) came up with the idea for the event. The PGVG wanted to alter their large pumpkins into boats and paddle them. They asked the city of Tualatin if they could use the lake for a party.
The first year, about 100 people showed up. Now, about 20,000 come to watch the races. “It’s just a good time to finally have some fun with these pumpkins that we’ve spent countless hours all year long trying to grow,” said Jim Sherwood, a champion pumpkin grower, who is one of the Regatta’s founders and organizers.
The PGVG provides pumpkins for the Regatta’s five races. This year, paddlers came from across the country and from as far away as France and Japan. “Surprisingly, it’s on a lot of people’s wish list to paddle a pumpkin,” said Heidi Marx, the event’s director for the city of Tualatin.
Just before the races began, the growers emptied the pumpkins. The paddlers dressed in holiday clothing jumped in, and the first race started.
Gary Kristensen from Happy Valley, Oregon, won the first race. He was dressed as the movie character Mrs. Doubtfire. It was Kristensen’s fourth year winning a pumpkin race. “Once everybody thinks you will win, it starts to give you a little bit of pressure,” he said. “Fortunately, my pumpkin was pretty fast.”
For the less competitive players, the Regatta was all about fun. “The best part is just watching all the families enjoying the day.” Marx, a player, said. People are going to remember it for a long time.”
8. What does the underlined word “alter” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Move. B. Grow. C. Change. D. Hide.
9. What do we know about Jim Sherwood
A. His pumpkin boat ran the fastest.
B He made the biggest pumpkin boat.
C. He sold his pumpkins to the players.
D. He won a competition by growing pumpkins.
10. Why did Gary Kristensen feel stressed before the race
A. He had been expected to win the race.
B. His pumpkin boat was not fast enough.
C. He feared to make mistakes in the race.
D. It was his first time to take part in the race.
11. What is the most important for the less competitive players
A. Pleasure. B. The prize.
C. Staying with their families. D. The impression they left on others.
D
Scientists studying the Atlantic puffin (海鹦) population off the coast of Maine say the number of the birds is now recovering after suffering great losses in 2021.
Atlantic puffins look and walk similarly to penguins. A wildlife organization says the population of the young birds on islands of the coast of Maine fell a lot in 2021. But last year, about two-thirds of puffins in the area produced young. While the numbers did not reach that same level this year, the birds still had a better year than in 2021.
The main reason for the falling numbers in 2021 was a drop in the population of small fish puffins feed on. Puffin groups suffered one of the lowest numbers of young birds in many years. Only about one-quarter of the birds were able to raise young.
Environmental groups have connected the smaller fish populations in the area to higher ocean temperatures. The Gulf of Maine, which has puffin groups on its islands, is warming faster than most of the world’s oceans. In recent years, it has been especially warm and a local climate organization has said this summer appears to have been “still unusually warm”.
Maine’s puffins are the only breeding (繁殖) Atlantic puffins in the United States. Worldwide, the species lives in the North Atlantic from Maine and Canada to Europe. Other countries with large puffin populations, such as Iceland, have also seen their bird populations drop.
The Maine puffin population once fell to only about 70 pairs in an area known as Matinicus Rock. People who went after the birds for their meat and feathers had nearly destroyed them by the early 1900s.
The difficulties facing seabirds make successful breeding seasons especially important said Dee Boersma, a professor of biology.
12. Why did the population of puffins drop greatly in 2021
A. Their home was lost. B. They were caught for meat.
C. They faced a lack of food. D. A disease spread among them.
13. What affects the fish populations according to the environmental groups
A. How high the sea level rises. B. How warm the sea water gets.
C. What we do to protect the sea. D. When we stop fishing too much.
14. What can we know from paragraph 5
A. Measures to protect puffins. B. Some areas where puffins live.
C. Common problems puffins face. D. Reasons why puffins are dying out.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Climate Change Harms Sea Birds B. Man Leaves a Type of Bird in Danger
C. Human Action Saves Atlantic Puffins D. Puffin Population Is Recovering

We’ve been having a heat wave on the East Coast this summer, along with the rest of the U.S. So the very thing you wouldn’t want to do is sleep in a hot car! That’s what I thought when I saw a woman doing just that.
Well, she wasn’t asleep at the time, but I guessed that was her difficulty when I noticed that the inside of the car was piled high with her belongings from the passenger seat to the back seats. I’d been noticing this car parked in the same space on this quiet lot for a few weeks.
I finally went over to the car and asked if I could get her something from the nearby store. She refused but at least I got a look close enough to see that she was normal, not on drugs, spoke English and was not in any immediate suffering despite how it looked. This made me all the more curios. The woman said her name was Justine. As we talked, darkness began to set in, so I told her I had to leave, thinking I’d return another day. Then I started for home.
A week later, I was back shopping at a store near the lot and there was Justine in that car on a hot day! I had had enough. I went over to the car, hoping to hear her story. That’s the way everyone would do. It’s what all kind people should do. But I wonder how many persons would have simply passed by without stopping. I was there to help, not to judge or criticize (批评).
What if we all try our best to help people in trouble How much better would this world be How many more good activities than bad would make paper headlines There would be so many acts of kindness, and the media would have no choice but to switch the focus from the bad to the good. I decided to be such a good person.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My concern touched Justine and she told me about her troubles.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I wanted to help her find a job to build up her confidence in life.

In the early part of his life, Seiichi Sano was a busy business owner. Later in life, he took on other difficult activities. At the age of 80, he climbed Mount Fuji, Japan’s highest mountain. Soon after, he started surfing.
Sano turned 90 this year. After being recognized by Guinness World Records as the oldest male to surf, he’s considering trying other activities. “Maybe I’ll try bouldering,” he said, suggesting he might do it first in a gym. “Outside it might be a bit dangerous.”
But maybe he will just stick with what he knows. “I think it would be interesting to surf until I’m 100,” Sano said. “I think I can take better care of myself when I have goals like this. Even now, I take better care of myself than I did before.”
Sane said he got the idea to try surfing from a worker at his local bank. The man’s skin was always dark but healthy. He did not look like a usual banker. His secret, he said, was surfing. So Sano found a teacher.
“I don’t consider myself an old man,” he said in his wet suit, board standing next to him. “I have never thought of myself as an old persona. I always feel that I can still move forward. I can still do it. I can still enjoy it.”
Sano joined hundreds of other surfers recently at Enoshima. All the surfers were younger, of course. Several young students who also worked with Sano’s surf teacher, 46-year-old Kazuto Shimizu, talked about Sano.
“To be honest, I was surprised by his age,” said Shimizu. “I was most worried that he would get injured. I did not know how fit he was, physically.”
Sano still runs a business that supplies wood to building companies. He works 9-to-5 at the job. Surfing reduces tension for him.
4. What made Sano get a Guinness World Record for surfing
A. His age. B. His wonderful skill. C. His fast speed. D. His competition result.
5. What is the reason for Sano’s beginning surfing
A. The idea of enriching his life. B. The decision to improve his health.
C. His dream of becoming world-famous. D. The unusual appearance of a bank worker.
6. Which of the following can best describe Sano
A. Creative. B. Adventurous. C. Careful. D. Generous.
7. What do we know about Shimizu
A. He has difficulty training Sano. B. He prefers to teach young people.
C. He was concerned about Sano’s health. D. He praised Sano for his love for work.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Seiichi Sano被吉尼斯世界纪录认定为最年长的冲浪男性,解释了他从事这项活动的原因。

During the Halloween season, many people visit pumpkin (南瓜) fields or carve pumpkins. But paddle (用桨划) a 1,000-pound pumpkin in a race On October 22 in Oregon, paddlers in Halloween clothes did just that.
The West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta took place on the lake in Tualatin, a small city outside Portland. Back in 2004, a club called the Pacific Giant Vegetable Growers (PGVG) came up with the idea for the event. The PGVG wanted to alter their large pumpkins into boats and paddle them. They asked the city of Tualatin if they could use the lake for a party.
The first year, about 100 people showed up. Now, about 20,000 come to watch the races. “It’s just a good time to finally have some fun with these pumpkins that we’ve spent countless hours all year long trying to grow,” said Jim Sherwood, a champion pumpkin grower, who is one of the Regatta’s founders and organizers.
The PGVG provides pumpkins for the Regatta’s five races. This year, paddlers came from across the country and from as far away as France and Japan. “Surprisingly, it’s on a lot of people’s wish list to paddle a pumpkin,” said Heidi Marx, the event’s director for the city of Tualatin.
Just before the races began, the growers emptied the pumpkins. The paddlers dressed in holiday clothing jumped in, and the first race started.
Gary Kristensen from Happy Valley, Oregon, won the first race. He was dressed as the movie character Mrs. Doubtfire. It was Kristensen’s fourth year winning a pumpkin race. “Once everybody thinks you will win, it starts to give you a little bit of pressure,” he said. “Fortunately, my pumpkin was pretty fast.”
For the less competitive players, the Regatta was all about fun. “The best part is just watching all the families enjoying the day.” Marx, a player, said. People are going to remember it for a long time.”
8. What does the underlined word “alter” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Move. B. Grow. C. Change. D. Hide.
9. What do we know about Jim Sherwood
A. His pumpkin boat ran the fastest.
B. He made the biggest pumpkin boat.
C. He sold his pumpkins to the players.
D. He won a competition by growing pumpkins.
10. Why did Gary Kristensen feel stressed before the race
A. He had been expected to win the race.
B. His pumpkin boat was not fast enough.
C. He feared to make mistakes in the race.
D. It was his first time to take part in the race.
11. What is the most important for the less competitive players
A Pleasure. B. The prize.
C. Staying with their families. D. The impression they left on others.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了位于俄勒冈州图阿拉丁市的西海岸巨型南瓜赛艇比赛的活动情况。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“The PGVG wanted to alter their large pumpkins into boats and paddle them.(PGVG想alter他们的大南瓜成小船,然后划桨)”中“large pumpkins into boats and paddle them”可推知,大南瓜要“改成”小船,才能划桨,划线词alter与change同义。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中““It’s just a good time to finally have some fun with these pumpkins that we’ve spent countless hours all year long trying to grow,” said Jim Sherwood, a champion pumpkin grower, who is one of the Regatta’s founders and organizers.(吉姆·舍伍德是冠军南瓜种植者,也是帆船赛的创始人和组织者之一,他说:“这是一个好时机,我们终于可以和这些南瓜一起玩了,我们一整年都花了无数个小时来种南瓜。”)”可知,Jim Sherwood是冠军南瓜种植者,即他曾赢过种植南瓜比赛。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第段中Gary Kristensen的话“Once everybody thinks you will win, it starts to give you a little bit of pressure,(一旦所有人都认为你会赢,你就会开始有一点压力)”可知,所有人都期望Gary Kristensen赢得比赛,所以他在比赛前感到压力。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“For the less competitive players, the Regatta was all about fun.(对于那些不太有竞争力的选手来说,赛船会就是为了好玩)”可知,对于竞争力较弱的玩家来说,快乐是最重要的。故选A项。

Scientists studying the Atlantic puffin (海鹦) population off the coast of Maine say the number of the birds is now recovering after suffering great losses in 2021.
Atlantic puffins look and walk similarly to penguins. A wildlife organization says the population of the young birds on islands of the coast of Maine fell a lot in 2021. But last year, about two-thirds of puffins in the area produced young. While the numbers did not reach that same level this year, the birds still had a better year than in 2021.
The main reason for the falling numbers in 2021 was a drop in the population of small fish puffins feed on. Puffin groups suffered one of the lowest numbers of young birds in many years. Only about one-quarter of the birds were able to raise young.
Environmental groups have connected the smaller fish populations in the area to higher ocean temperatures. The Gulf of Maine, which has puffin groups on its islands, is warming faster than most of the world’s oceans. In recent years, it has been especially warm and a local climate organization has said this summer appears to have been “still unusually warm”.
Maine’s puffins are the only breeding (繁殖) Atlantic puffins in the United States. Worldwide, the species lives in the North Atlantic from Maine and Canada to Europe. Other countries with large puffin populations, such as Iceland, have also seen their bird populations drop.
The Maine puffin population once fell to only about 70 pairs in an area known as Matinicus Rock. People who went after the birds for their meat and feathers had nearly destroyed them by the early 1900s.
The difficulties facing seabirds make successful breeding seasons especially important, said Dee Boersma, a professor of biology.
12. Why did the population of puffins drop greatly in 2021
A. Their home was lost. B. They were caught for meat.
C. They faced a lack of food. D. A disease spread among them.
13. What affects the fish populations according to the environmental groups
A. How high the sea level rises. B. How warm the sea water gets.
C. What we do to protect the sea. D. When we stop fishing too much.
14. What can we know from paragraph 5
A. Measures to protect puffins. B. Some areas where puffins live.
C. Common problems puffins face. D. Reasons why puffins are dying out.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Climate Change Harms Sea Birds B. Man Leaves a Type of Bird in Danger
C. Human Action Saves Atlantic Puffins D. Puffin Population Is Recovering
【答案】12 C 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了在2021年数量下降之后,海鹦的数量正在恢复。文章解释了其数量下降的原因以及生活习性等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The main reason for the falling numbers in 2021 was a drop in the population of small fish puffins feed on. Puffin groups suffered one of the lowest numbers of young birds in many years. Only about one-quarter of the birds were able to raise young.( 2021年海鹦数量下降的主要原因是海鹦赖以为生的小鱼数量减少。海鹦群遭遇了多年来雏鸟数量最少的一次。只有大约四分之一的鸟能够养育后代)”可知,海鹦的数量在2021年大幅下降是因为面临食物短缺。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Environmental groups have connected the smaller fish populations in the area to higher ocean temperatures.(环保组织认为,该地区鱼类数量减少与海洋温度升高有关)”可知,根据环保组织的说法,海水变暖影响了鱼类的数量。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Maine’s puffins are the only breeding (繁殖) Atlantic puffins in the United States. Worldwide, the species lives in the North Atlantic from Maine and Canada to Europe. Other countries with large puffin populations, such as Iceland, have also seen their bird populations drop.(缅因海鹦是美国唯一繁殖的大西洋海雀。在世界范围内,该物种生活在从缅因州和加拿大到欧洲的北大西洋。其他海鹦数量众多的国家,如冰岛,其鸟类数量也在下降)”可知,第五段说明了海鹦生活的一些地区。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists studying the Atlantic puffin (海鹦) population off the coast of Maine say the number of the birds is now recovering after suffering great losses in 2021.(研究缅因州海岸外大西洋海鹦种群的科学家表示,在2021年遭受巨大损失后,这种鸟的数量正在恢复)”结合文章主要说明了在2021年数量下降之后,海鹦的数量正在恢复。文章解释了其数量下降的原因以及生活习性等。可知,D选项“海雀的数量正在恢复”最符合文章标题。故选D。

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’ve been having a heat wave on the East Coast this summer, along with the rest of the U.S. So the very thing you wouldn’t want to do is sleep in a hot car! That’s what I thought when I saw a woman doing just that.
Well, she wasn’t asleep at the time, but I guessed that was her difficulty when I noticed that the inside of the car was piled high with her belongings from the passenger seat to the back seats. I’d been noticing this car parked in the same space on this quiet lot for a few weeks.
I finally went over to the car and asked if I could get her something from the nearby store. She refused but at least I got a look close enough to see that she was normal, not on drugs, spoke English and was not in any immediate suffering despite how it looked. This made me all the more curios. The woman said her name was Justine. As we talked, darkness began to set in, so I told her I had to leave, thinking I’d return another day. Then I started for home.
A week later, I was back shopping at a store near the lot and there was Justine in that car on a hot day! I had had enough. I went over to the car, hoping to hear her story. That’s the way everyone would do. It’s what all kind people should do. But I wonder how many persons would have simply passed by without stopping. I was there to help, not to judge or criticize (批评).
What if we all try our best to help people in trouble How much better would this world be How many more good activities than bad would make paper headlines There would be so many acts of kindness, and the media would have no choice but to switch the focus from the bad to the good. I decided to be such a good person.

I wanted to help her find a job to build up her confidence in life.
_______________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 My concern touched Justine and she told me about her troubles. Then she told me that she was an painter. I learned that she was devoted to painting and had a successful personal art exhibition one year ago. Unfortunately, her studio caught fire a year ago, which almost destroyed everything and her hand was injured. Then, she couldn’t find inspiration for her paintings and has become less and less confident. So she took her luggage and began to travel around the country to forget the pain.
I wanted to help her find a job to build up her confidence in life. I suddenly remembered a painting dealer, who opened an art gallery. Maybe he could use a painter like Justine there. That’s why I called him and told him about the story of Justine. To my delight, when he finished reading Justin’s paintings, he agreed to invite Justin to work in his gallery. Looking at Justin’s satisfied smile and tears, I knew my kindness was rewarded. A small act of kindness and concern for others is enough to make a difference in someone’s life.
