Donna Edmonds certainly knows a thing or two about getting children outside of the classroom. Having been a teacher for 23 years, she’s now in charge of Farms For City Children, a program enabling children in cities to explore the farms in the British countryside. Visiting children can take part in the farm tasks: growing and harvesting in the gardens; caring for chickens and looking after the land; and cooking up a home-grown meal in the farmhouse kitchen.
Donna’s connection with the charity led to a life-changing experience. She explained, “In November 2000, my headteacher said we’d got this trip going to a farm. I didn’t want to do that. I’m from south London and had no interest in farming.” But the week at Farms For City Children changed Donna’s entire life.
Donna said, “Quite honestly, the nature connection gap in our society is embarrassing; there are so many children who haven’t been to the countryside. I remember asking them what cows drank and they replied “milk”. Seeing them fall in love with nature was incredible to my life.”
Donna believes there is a strong need for teachers to bring city children into close contact with nature. Farms for City Children was founded in 1976, and it has now embraced a new direction — more children from different backgrounds can get into the countryside and they may one day even make a career from it.
24. What is paragraph 1 mainly about
A. It praises an excellent teacher. B. It introduces a school program.
C. It tells the adventure of a field trip. D. It shows the difficulty in education.
25. What can be inferred about the children in city in paragraph 3
A. They badly need to connect with nature. B. They felt embarrassed in the countryside.
C. They are unlikely to fall in love with nature. D. They know nothing about biology knowledge.
26. What benefit may Farms for City Children bring
A. Help with young people’s career plan. B. The right direction of farming development.
C. Improvement of children’s school performance. D. Better ways to improve farmers’ living conditions.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“城市儿童农场”——这是一个让城市的孩子探索英国农村农场的项目。创始人解释成立这个项目的原因以及这个项目的好处。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Donna Edmonds certainly knows a thing or two about getting children outside of the classroom. Having been a teacher for 23 years, she’s now in charge of Farms For City Children, a program enabling children in cities to explore the farms in the British countryside. Visiting children can take part in the farm tasks: growing and harvesting in the gardens; caring for chickens and looking after the land; and cooking up a home-grown meal in the farmhouse kitchen.(Donna Edmonds当然知道如何让孩子走出教室。她已经当了23年的老师，现在负责“城市儿童农场”，这是一个让城市的孩子探索英国农村农场的项目。来访的孩子们可以参加农场活动：在花园里种植和收割；照顾鸡，照料土地;在农舍的厨房里做一顿家常菜)”可知，第一段主要介绍了一个学校项目“城市儿童农场”。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Quite honestly, the nature connection gap in our society is embarrassing; there are so many children who haven’t been to the countryside. I remember asking them what cows drank and they replied “milk”. (坦率地说，我们社会的自然联系差距是令人尴尬的;有很多孩子没有去过农村。我记得我问他们奶牛喝什么，他们回答说“牛奶”)”可推知，城市里的孩子们迫切需要亲近自然。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Farms for City Children was founded in 1976, and it has now embraced a new direction — more children from different backgrounds can get into the countryside and they may one day even make a career from it.(城市儿童农场成立于1976年，现在它有了一个新的方向——更多来自不同背景的孩子可以进入农村，甚至有一天他们可能会以此为职业)”可知，城市儿童农场能帮助年轻人的职业规划。故选A。
C
Veery, a small songbird only weighing about 30 grams, will migrate thousands of miles south —from North America, across the ocean, to South America in summer. No doubt it’s a perilous journey. Some of those birds may never make it if a hurricane(飓风) happens.
But a study published in the journal Scientific Reports in 2018 showed that when the veeries begin to leave the north is closely related to the coming of the Atlantic hurricane season. The little birds try not to be destroyed by the possible hurricanes. “During bad years, the birds would shorten their breeding (繁殖) season in the north and head down to South America earlier than usual. In this way, most of the birds survived. It makes sense that they have figured it out somehow.” says Christopher Heckscher, an ecologist at Delaware State University.
Exactly, how the veeries “predict” hurricane seasons may partly result from small changes in climate like El Niio (厄尔尼诺) events. During El Niio years, the ocean water is warmer than average, and produces winds that more effectively weaken hurricanes, bringing down the number of hurricanes. The little birds are usually smart enough to sense this and make a wise decision to migrate. With these changes, rainfall in veery habitat (栖息地) may differ. When more rain falls, more fruit could be available. This change in diet may help the veery return to North America in a better shape and also enjoy a longer breeding season back home.
Heckscher says although it’s too early to determine what the birds are predicting for future Atlantic hurricane seasons, veeries have been just as good, and in one case better than meteorological (气象) models in predicting hurricanes.
27. What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Dangerous. B. Unfamiliar. C. Beneficial. D. Powerful.
28. What have scientists discovered about the veery migration
A. It brings the climate change.
B. It explains why hurricanes happen.
C. It often occurs later than other migrant birds’.
D. It is influenced by the possible hurricane season.
29. What may happen to veeries during El Niio years
A. They seek for more food. B. They meet more hurricanes.
C. They don't fly back to the north. D. They become stronger for breeding.
30. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Veery: Beating Climate Models B. Veery: A Natural Predictor of Hurricanes
C. El Nino: Destroying Vecries' Migration D. Christopher Heckscher: A Famous Ecologist
【答案】27. A 28. D 29. D 30. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种叫Veery的小鸣禽，它们会在夏天从北美向南迁徙到达南美洲，并且它们可以预测飓风，努力避免被飓风摧毁。
【27题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词句后文“Some of those birds may never make it if a hurricane (飓风) happens. (如果飓风来了，其中一些鸟可能永远也活不下来。)”可知，飓风对于这些鸟儿来说很危险，从而推知划线词句“No doubt it’s a perilous journey.”意为“ 毫无疑问，这是一次危险的旅程”，即划线部分意思是“危险的”。故选A项。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But a study published in the journal Scientific Reports in 2018 showed that when the veeries begin to leave the north is closely related to the coming of the Atlantic hurricane season. The little birds try not to be destroyed by the possible hurricanes. (但2018年发表在《科学报告》杂志上的一项研究表明，这种小鸣禽开始离开北方的时间与大西洋飓风季节的到来密切相关。这些小鸟努力不被可能到来的飓风摧毁。)”可知，科学家们发现这种小鸣禽的迁徙受到可能的飓风季节的影响。故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“During El Niio years, the ocean water is warmer than average, and produces winds that more effectively weaken hurricanes, bringing down the number of hurricanes. The little birds are usually smart enough to sense this and make a wise decision to migrate. With these changes, rainfall in veery habitat(栖息地) may differ. When more rain falls, more fruit could be available. This change in diet may help the veery return to North America in a better shape and also enjoy a longer breeding season back home. (在厄尔尼诺年份，海水比平均温度高，产生的风更有效地削弱了飓风，减少了飓风的数量。这种小鸟通常很聪明，能感觉到这一点，并做出明智的迁徙决定。由于这些变化，每个小鸣禽栖息地的降雨量可能会有所不同。雨水越多，水果就越多。这种饮食上的改变可能会帮助这种小鸣禽以更好的体型返回北美，也可以享受更长的繁殖季节。)”可知，在厄尔尼诺年份，这种小鸣禽为了繁殖而变得更强壮。故选D项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“Veery, a small songbird only weighing about 30 grams, will migrate thousands of miles south —from North America, across the ocean, to South America in summer.( Veery ，一种体重只有30克左右的小鸣禽，会在夏天从北美向南迁徙数千英里，跨越海洋，到达南美洲。)”和最后一段中“Heckscher says although it's too early to determine what the birds are predicting for future Atlantic hurricane seasons, veeries have been just as good, and in one case better than meteorological (气象) models in predicting hurricanes. (Heckscher说，虽然现在确定这些鸟类对未来大西洋飓风季节的预测还为时过早，但在预测飓风方面，它们的预测效果一样好，在某种情况下甚至比气象模型更好。)”可知，本文介绍了一种叫Veery的小鸣禽，它们会在夏天从北美向南迁徙到达南美洲，并且它们可以预测飓风，努力避免被飓风摧毁。B项“Veery：飓风的自然预测器”符合文章主题，故选B项。

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。
Growing up in Colorado, I prefer being outdoors. During my spare time, I enjoy swimming, climbing mountains and water-skiing. Although skiing was the sport I had never learned, I wanted to have a try. So when I recently got an invitation to a skiing trip in Deer Valley, I jumped at the chance. I didn’t think it would be that hard to learn. After all, I was fairly fit, and I used to waterski —that had to count for something, right
It turned out that there was not so much help. I told the coach I was “beginner level”, and I was grouped with some women who had skied only a couple of times before. At first, I learned how to put on my ski suit and control my speed and direction. With the help of the coach, I started to practice.
Once we mastered the basic skills my coach led us to the green run —the easy slope (斜坡)for ski beginners. When I reached the top, I started down an easy green run with others in our group. “OK, this isn’t so bad! I'm doing it!” I thought at the start of the run. Then came a harder slope. I wanted to quit. However, my pride didn’t let me stop.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为100个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I began to ski down the hill.

But the accident would never stop me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I began to ski down the hill. Firstly, I moved inch by inch, and gradually I picked up speed until I took off — I was enjoying the flying feeling when I accidentally hit a tree and ended with a nose diving into the snow. “Ouch!” I cried out in pain, feeling my legs hurt. The coach and the teammates ran towards me. They checked me up and moved me out of the runs.
But the accident would never stop me. Shortly, I stood up. I gathered the strength to continue. Amazingly, I found joy and pride in the process of falling and getting back up on the skis over and over again. Skiing has become my favorite. I’ve come to realize that the essence of skiing lies in the discovery of a better self. Fear doesn’t shape my future, but bravery does.

Donna Edmonds certainly knows a thing or two about getting children outside of the classroom. Having been a teacher for 23 years, she’s now in charge of Farms For City Children, a program enabling children in cities to explore the farms in the British countryside. Visiting children can take part in the farm tasks: growing and harvesting in the gardens; caring for chickens and looking after the land; and cooking up a home-grown meal in the farmhouse kitchen.
Donna’s connection with the charity led to a life-changing experience. She explained, “In November 2000, my headteacher said we’d got this trip going to a farm. I didn’t want to do that. I’m from south London and had no interest in farming.” But the week at Farms For City Children changed Donna’s entire life.
Donna said, “Quite honestly, the nature connection gap in our society is embarrassing; there are so many children who haven’t been to the countryside. I remember asking them what cows drank and they replied “milk”. Seeing them fall in love with nature was incredible to my life.”
Donna believes there is a strong need for teachers to bring city children into close contact with nature. Farms for City Children was founded in 1976, and it has now embraced a new direction — more children from different backgrounds can get into the countryside and they may one day even make a career from it.
24. What is paragraph 1 mainly about
A. It praises an excellent teacher. B. It introduces a school program.
C. It tells the adventure of a field trip. D. It shows the difficulty in education.
25. What can be inferred about the children in city in paragraph 3
A. They badly need to connect with nature. B. They felt embarrassed in the countryside.
C. They are unlikely to fall in love with nature. D. They know nothing about biology knowledge.
26. What benefit may Farms for City Children bring
A. Help with young people’s career plan. B. The right direction of farming development.
C. Improvement of children’s school performance. D. Better ways to improve farmers’ living conditions.
C
Veery a small songbird only weighing about 30 grams, will migrate thousands of miles south —from North America, across the ocean, to South America in summer. No doubt it’s a perilous journey. Some of those birds may never make it if a hurricane(飓风) happens.
But a study published in the journal Scientific Reports in 2018 showed that when the veeries begin to leave the north is closely related to the coming of the Atlantic hurricane season. The little birds try not to be destroyed by the possible hurricanes. “During bad years, the birds would shorten their breeding (繁殖) season in the north and head down to South America earlier than usual. In this way, most of the birds survived. It makes sense that they have figured it out somehow.” says Christopher Heckscher, an ecologist at Delaware State University.
Exactly, how the veeries “predict” hurricane seasons may partly result from small changes in climate like El Niio (厄尔尼诺) events. During El Niio years, the ocean water is warmer than average, and produces winds that more effectively weaken hurricanes, bringing down the number of hurricanes. The little birds are usually smart enough to sense this and make a wise decision to migrate. With these changes, rainfall in veery habitat (栖息地) may differ. When more rain falls, more fruit could be available. This change in diet may help the veery return to North America in a better shape and also enjoy a longer breeding season back home.
Heckscher says although it’s too early to determine what the birds are predicting for future Atlantic hurricane seasons, veeries have been just as good, and in one case better than meteorological (气象) models in predicting hurricanes.
27. What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Dangerous. B. Unfamiliar. C. Beneficial. D. Powerful.
28. What have scientists discovered about the veery migration
A. It brings the climate change.
B. It explains why hurricanes happen.
C. It often occurs later than other migrant birds’.
D. It is influenced by the possible hurricane season.
29. What may happen to veeries during El Niio years
A. They seek for more food. B. They meet more hurricanes.
C. They don't fly back to the north. D. They become stronger for breeding.
30. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Veery: Beating Climate Models B. Veery: A Natural Predictor of Hurricanes
C. El Nino: Destroying Vecries' Migration D. Christopher Heckscher: A Famous Ecologist

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
Growing up in Colorado, I prefer being outdoors. During my spare time, I enjoy swimming, climbing mountains and water-skiing. Although skiing was the sport I had never learned, I wanted to have a try. So when I recently got an invitation to a skiing trip in Deer Valley, I jumped at the chance. I didn’t think it would be that hard to learn. After all, I was fairly fit, and I used to waterski —that had to count for something, right
It turned out that there was not so much help. I told the coach I was “beginner level”, and I was grouped with some women who had skied only a couple of times before. At first, I learned how to put on my ski suit and control my speed and direction. With the help of the coach, I started to practice.
Once we mastered the basic skills, my coach led us to the green run —the easy slope (斜坡)for ski beginners. When I reached the top, I started down an easy green run with others in our group. “OK, this isn’t so bad! I'm doing it!” I thought at the start of the run. Then came a harder slope. I wanted to quit. However, my pride didn’t let me stop.
注意：
1. 续写词数应100个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I began to ski down the hill.
