During the time when Theodor Geisel was working as a children’s book author, a popular primer (初级读本) for young children involved the story of two characters named Dick and Jane. However, Dick and Jane were boring. Consequently, these boring characters kept children from learning how to read. Writer John Hershey described the problem in a1954 article in Life magazine. Upon reading it, William Spaulding, the director of Houghton Mifflin, decided to invite Geisel to create an exciting children’s book.
Geisel thought, “No sweat”. But in fact, he did sweat for a year and a half. Accustomed to inventing words at his leisure in his previous books, the imaginative author underestimated how difficult it would be to limit his vocabulary to around200 words. He stared at Spaulding’s word list for a year but got nothing.
Out of frustration, he finally chose the first two words that rhymed as the title. Cat and hat were what he found. He next worked on what the cat would look like and how he would act. As Geisel wrote, his cat was shaped and inspired by two other cartoon cats he had admired since childhood. The first was from comic Krazy Kat. Geisel’s cat would channel Krazy’s physical appearance. As for its personality, Geisel looked to another cartoon cat for inspiration: Felix the Cat. Felix was adventurous and Geisel’s cat would behave with a similar confidence.
Now that he had a main character, finding things for that character to do within the limitation of the word list was like putting his cat in a straitjacket. As Geisel slowly wrote and rewrote The Cat in the Hat throughout1956, he figured out a few tricks to help his writing. He would repeat words or phrases, which gave his works a distinct and regular rhythm that helped young readers learn words through look-say repetition.
Upon publication in1957, The Cat in the Hat was an instant hit and made Geisel a world famous children’s book author.
24. What made it hard for Geisel to create his story
A. The restriction of word selections. B. Criticisms from another writer.
C. The publisher’s demand for quality. D. The change of his writing topic.
25. What do we know about the cat in Geisel’s book
A. It is as confident as Krazy. B. It is dressed in a straitjacket.
C. It takes after Felix in appearance. D. It takes on features of two cartoon cats.
26. Which of the following best describes the language in The Cat in the Hat
A. Varied and plain. B. Simple but insightful.
C. Repetitive and rhythmic. D. Limited but well-organized.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. The creation of cats in children’s books.
B. The story behind a famous children’s book.
C. A well-known writer in children’s literature.
D. Difficulties and skills in writing a children’s book.

On a break from his studies in the MIT Media Lab,Anirudh Sharma traveled home to Mumbai, India. While there, he noticed that throughout the day his T-shirts were gradually gathering something that looked like dirt."I realized this was air pollution,or sooty(像煤一样)particulate matter (PM),made of black particles released from exhaust(尾气)of vehicles," Sharma says. "This is a major health issue."Soot consists of tiny black particles, about 2.5 micrometers or smaller, made carbon produced by incomplete burning of fossil fuels.
Back at MIT,Sharma set out to help solve this air-pollution issue. After years of research and development, Sharma’s startup Graviky Labs has developed technology that attaches to exhaust systems of diesel generators(柴油发电机)to collect particulate matter.Scientists at Graviky then turn it into ink, called Air-Ink, for artists around the world. So far, the startup has collected I.6 billion micrograms of particulate matter.More than 200 gallons of Air-Ink have been harvested for a growing community of more than 1,000 artists, from Bangalore to Boston, Shanghai,and London.
Posted all over Graviky Lab's Facebook page today are photos of art made from the Air-Ink and pant, including street wall paintings, body art and clothing prints.At first, there was still no specific application for the ink. Then the startup decided to find new ways to further spread its mission.It chose to do so through art."Art helps us raise awareness about where the ink and paint comes from. Air pollution knows no borders. Our ink sends a message that pollution is one of the resources in our world that's the hardest to collect and use.But it can be done,"Sharma says.
28. What struck Sharma most during his break in India
A. Dirt on his T-shirts. B. Health issue of the locals.
C. Coal industry in Mumbai. D. Incomplete burning of fossil fuels.
29. According to the text, Air-Ink is________.
A. a cleaner of outdoor air B. a product made from PM
C. a newly-founded company D. a printing technology
30. What can we infer about Air-Ink from the text
A. It improves artistic effect. B. It makes pollution acceptable.
C. It helps Sharma make a profit. D. It raises environmental awareness.
31. What might be the best title for the text
A. Arts know no borders B. Waste has no price

The Amazon rainforest, is as undisturbed a place as most people can imagine, but even there, the effects of a changing climate are playing out. Now, research suggests that many of the region's most sensitive bird species are starting to evolve in response to warming.
Birds are often considered sentinel(哨兵)species-meaning that they indicate the overall health of an ecosystem-so scientists are particularly interested in how they're responding to climate change. In general, the news has not been good. For instance, a 2019 report by the National Audubon Society found that more than two-thirds of North America's bird species will be in danger of extinction by 2100 if warming trends continue on their current course.
For the new study, researchers collected the biggest dataset so far on the Amazon's resident birds, representing 77 non-migratory species and lasting the 40 years from 1979 to 2019. During the study period, the average temperature in the region rose, while the amount of rainfall declined, making for a hotter, dryer climate overall. According to the report on November 12 in the journal Science Advances, 36 species have lost substantial weight, as much as 2 percent of their body weight per decade since 1980. Meanwhile, all the species showed some decrease in average body mass, while a third grew longer wings.
Because of the study's long time series and large sample sizes, the authors were able to show the morphological(形态学的)effects of climate change on resident birds. However, the researchers themselves are unsure and wonder what advantage the wing length changes give the birds, but suppose smaller birds may have an easier time keeping cool. In general, smaller animals have a larger rate of surface area to body size, so they dissipate more heat faster than a bigger animal. Less available food, such as fruit or insects, in dryer weather might lead to smaller body size.
32 Why are scientists fond of doing research on birds
A. They have small body sizes. B. They are sensitive to hot weather.
C. They live in an undisturbed rainforest. D. They are ecological balance indicators.
33. What can we learn from the new study
A. A third of species have been extinct for a decade.
B. 36 species lost 2%of their body weight every year.
C. Two-thirds of species showed a considerable decrease in weight.
D. About 26 species responded to climate change with longer wings.
34. What does the underlined word "dissipate" in the last paragraph mean
A. Put off. B. Give off. C. Put away. D. Give away.
35. What would probably the researchers further study
A. Why it is easier for smaller animals to keep cool.
B. What effects the wing length changes have on birds.
C. Why the Amazonian birds have lost substantial weight.
D. Whether bird species in North America will be extinct in 2100.

It’s hard being an astronaut’s son. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does. But I’m just an average eleven-year-old kid.
Nowadays I dream about being a famous writer, but I used to dream about doing something special to impress my father and make him proud of me-something like rescuing a child from a burning building.
I was dreaming in school one morning, which I often do. I was daydreaming about being some kind of hero when my friend Ellen reminded me of my English teacher’s announcement about a Father’s Day essay contest.
“I hope we have a winner right here in my English class.” she said. “There are three prizes for each of you.”
When I got home, I kissed my mom quickly. Then I went upstairs to my room and sat down with a pen and a pad of paper. I started to think about what I would write.
How did I see my father Mmm…
I saw him teaching me how to use a bat and how to throw baseball.
I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was hit and killed by a car.
And I remembered how he sat and tried to explain death to me when Grandpa Bob died.
These were the things I was going to write about my dad. To me, he wasn’t just a famous astronaut. He was my dad.
I wrote about all these memories and put them in my essay. I handed it in the next day and was surprised to find out that the winning essays would be read in the lecture hall on Thursday night. All the parents and students were invited.
My parents and I went to school Thursday night. One of our neighbors said, “I bet you’ll win the contest, David. I bet you wrote what it’s like to be the son of an astronaut, and you’re the only one in town who could write about that. ”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右。
2. 请按以下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I shrugged and then the first winner - Ellen was announced.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The second prize winner was announced next - It was me.

Scientists at Graviky then turn it into ink, called Air-Ink… .(Sharma创建的Graviky 实验室开发了一种技术,可以连接到柴油发电机的排气系统上,收集颗粒物。然后,Graviky实验室的科学家将它转化为墨水,称为‘空气墨水’)”,其中it指代上一句中的收集的“particulate matter”即PM。由此可知,Air-Ink是由PM制成的产品。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。文章第三段中提到Sharma所说的话 “Art helps us raise awareness about where the ink and paint comes from.”。文章第二段中提到Air-Ink是由PM(空气中的颗粒物)制成的,用Air-Ink创作的艺术画可以帮助我们认识到墨水和颜料是从哪里来的。由此可以推断,用Air-Ink 绘制艺术画可以帮助人们提高环境意识。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章最后一段提到“Our ink sends a message that pollution is one of the resources in our world that's the hardest to collect and use. But it can be done.(我们的墨水传达出一个信息:污染是世界上最难收集和利用的资源之一。但这是可以做到的,)”,Sharma的研究表明虽然污染很难再次利用,但是还是可以做到的; Sharma利用技术,将空气中的污染颗粒物(PM)收集起来,制成Air-Ink,给艺术家们创作艺术作品,以提高人们的环境意识。他将污染加以回收利用,转化成艺术形式。因此文章标题应为“Less pollution, more art”。故选C。
D
The Amazon rainforest, is as undisturbed a place as most people can imagine, but even there, the effects of a changing climate are playing out. Now, research suggests that many of the region's most sensitive bird species are starting to evolve in response to warming.
Birds are often considered sentinel(哨兵)species-meaning that they indicate the overall health of an ecosystem-so scientists are particularly interested in how they're responding to climate change. In general, the news has not been good. For instance, a 2019 report by the National Audubon Society found that more than two-thirds of North America's bird species will be in danger of extinction by 2100 if warming trends continue on their current course.
For the new study, researchers collected the biggest dataset so far on the Amazon's resident birds, representing 77 non-migratory species and lasting the 40 years from 1979 to 2019. During the study period, the average temperature in the region rose, while the amount of rainfall declined, making for a hotter, dryer climate overall. According to the report on November 12 in the journal Science Advances, 36 species have lost substantial weight, as much as 2 percent of their body weight per decade since 1980. Meanwhile, all the species showed some decrease in average body mass, while a third grew longer wings.
Because of the study's long time series and large sample sizes, the authors were able to show the morphological(形态学的)effects of climate change on resident birds. However, the researchers themselves are unsure and wonder what advantage the wing length changes give the birds, but suppose smaller birds may have an easier time keeping cool. In general, smaller animals have a larger rate of surface area to body size, so they dissipate more heat faster than a bigger animal. Less available food, such as fruit or insects, in dryer weather might lead to smaller body size.
32. Why are scientists fond of doing research on birds
A. They have small body sizes. B. They are sensitive to hot weather.
C. They live in an undisturbed rainforest. D. They are ecological balance indicators.
33. What can we learn from the new study
A. A third of species have been extinct for a decade.
B. 36 species lost 2%of their body weight every year.
C. Two-thirds of species showed a considerable decrease in weight.
D. About 26 species responded to climate change with longer wings.
34. What does the underlined word "dissipate" in the last paragraph mean
A. Put off. B. Give off. C. Put away. D. Give away.
35. What would probably the researchers further study
A. Why it is easier for smaller animals to keep cool.
B. What effects the wing length changes have on birds.
C. Why the Amazonian birds have lost substantial weight.
D. Whether bird species in North America will be extinct in 2100.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了气候变化对鸟的影响。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Birds are often considered sentinel(哨兵)species-meaning that they indicate the overall health of an ecosystem-so scientists are particularly interested in how they're responding to climate change.(鸟常被认为是物种的哨兵,指的是它们能暗示生态系统的整体健康,因此科学家关注它们对气候变化的反应)”可知,科学家喜欢研究鸟是因为鸟是生态系统平衡的暗示者。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“representing 77 non-migratory species”以及“while a third grew longer wings. (在研究的77种不迁移的鸟类中,1/3的鸟长着较长的翅膀)”可知,大约26种鸟类长着较长的翅膀来应对气候变化。故选D。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“smaller birds may have an easier time keeping cool. In general, smaller animals have a larger rate of surface area to body size (较小的鸟可能很快就会凉下来。总体来讲,相对于身体尺寸而言,较小动物的表面积较大)”可知较小动物的表面积相对于自身整体而言较大,因此散发热量就容易,dissipate的意思是散发,与Give off(散发)的词义一致 。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the researchers themselves are unsure and wonder what advantage the wing length changes give the birds, (然而,研究者自己也不确信,对鸟的翅膀长度变化对鸟有什么好处感到困惑)”可知,研究者将进一步研究鸟的翅膀长度变化对鸟有什么影响。故选B。

第二节(满分 25 分)
67. 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。
It’s hard being an astronaut’s son. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does. But I’m just an average eleven-year-old kid.
Nowadays I dream about being a famous writer, but I used to dream about doing something special to impress my father and make him proud of me-something like rescuing a child from a burning building.
I was dreaming in school one morning, which I often do. I was daydreaming about being some kind of hero when my friend Ellen reminded me of my English teacher’s announcement about a Father’s Day essay contest.
“I hope we have a winner right here in my English class.” she said. “There are three prizes for each of you.”
When I got home, I kissed my mom quickly. Then I went upstairs to my room and sat down with a pen and a pad of paper. I started to think about what I would write.
How did I see my father Mmm…
I saw him teaching me how to use a bat and how to throw baseball.
I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was hit and killed by a car.
And I remembered how he sat and tried to explain death to me when Grandpa Bob died.
These were the things I was going to write about my dad. To me, he wasn’t just a famous astronaut. He was my dad.
I wrote about all these memories and put them in my essay. I handed it in the next day and was surprised to find out that the winning essays would be read in the lecture hall on Thursday night. All the parents and students were invited.
My parents and I went to school Thursday night. One of our neighbors said, “I bet you’ll win the contest, David. I bet you wrote what it’s like to be the son of an astronaut, and you’re the only one in town who could write about that. ”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右。
2. 请按以下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I shrugged and then the first winner - Ellen was announced.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The second prize winner was announced next - It was me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I shrugged and then the first prize winner — Ellen was announced. Though deep down, I didn’t want to win just because my father was an astronaut. I was relieved and disappointed at the same time at the news. When Ellen read to the end, I heard a chorus of praise and saw tears running down my parents’ face. Somehow, a mixed feeling welled up in me. Will Dad feel disappointed Maybe I should have written about being the son of an astronaut.
Then the second prize winner was announced. To my amazement, it was me! Surprised and thrilled, I went up to the stage. Taking a deep breath, I started to read my essay “My Father’s Son.” “He is a great astronaut. But more importantly, he is a great father to me.” Upon my finishing reading, the auditorium thundered with applause. When I went back to my seat, Dad put his hand on my shoulder. “ Son, this is the proudest moment of my life,” he almost sobbed. It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero, but just then, it was enough just to be my father’s son.

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。主要讲述了作者的爸爸是一名宇航员,而作者却是个普通的孩子,并没有那么优秀。所以作者常常梦想做一些引人注目的事情来给他的父亲留下深刻的印象,让他骄傲。一天,英语老师宣布了关于父亲节作文比赛的公告,放学后,作者回到家开始写作,作者回想起了父亲与自己的点点滴滴,于是将这些写进了作文里。第二天作者交上了作文,惊讶地发现获奖作文将于周四晚上在礼堂里朗读,所有家长和学生都会被邀请。在当天,一个邻居认为作者会写作为宇航员的儿子是什么感觉。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我耸耸肩,然后宣布艾伦获得一等奖。”可知,第一段可描写艾伦获得一等奖,在艾伦读自己的作文时,父母被感动。
②由第二段首句内容“二等奖的得主是我。”可知,第二段可描写作者走上舞台读自己的作文,爸爸很感动,作者感悟到作父亲的儿子就已经足够了。
2.续写线索:
宣布艾伦获一等奖——艾伦读作文——爸妈感动——作者感觉自己没获奖让父母失望了——宣布作者获得二等奖——作者上台读作文——爸爸感动——作者感悟
