Hummingbirds (蜂鸟) are a very important part of Mexico’s ecosystem, but because of the ever-spreading city landscape, they face all sorts of serious dangers. That’s where 73-year-old Catia Lattouf de Arida comes in. As a self-taught hummingbird care-taker, she devotes most of her free time and resources to nursing the tiny birds back to health. Her home in Mexico City has become known as a hummingbird hospital.
Catia’s story as a hummingbird nurse began in 2011, at a very difficult moment in her life. At that time, she focused on her battle with cancer. She was walking on the street one day when she noticed a hummingbird that had suffered a serious eye injury. The kindhearted woman took it home and named it Gucci. She managed to nurse Gucci back to health, but she said it was Gucci that saved her. Why Because the hummingbird managed to pull her out of the sadness and loneliness that had taken over her life.
Word of her success spread among Catia’s friends, and before long some of them began bringing her injured hummingbirds. She didn’t repulse them at all. She began to study the birds and their habits in order to better take care of them, and after 11 years of experience, the 73-year-old woman is considered an expert on hummingbirds.
In order to raise awareness of the difficult situation of hummingbirds in Mexico, Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social media, and many of them became popular. That’s when the need for her nursing services really blew up. She has cared for hundreds of hummingbirds in her 11-year career, when she has had as many as 50 of them in her apartment at any time. She spends pretty much all her time looking after the tiny birds.
24. Which saying can best show the main idea of the first two paragraphs
A. It is better to give than to take.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Helping others is helping ourselves.
D. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
25. What does the underlined word “repulse” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Expect. B. Refuse. C. Accept. D. Recognize.
26. When were Catia’s nursing services greatly needed
A. When her friends heard about her success.
B. When she was considered as a bird expert.
C. After she shared the birds’ videos on social media.
D. After she looked after a large number of the birds.
27. According to the text, Catia can be described as ______.
A. honest and kind B. generous and creative
C. devoted and strict D. caring and responsible
C
In 2021, scientists studying animal communication discovered that some
dogs connect objects with words at a similar level to babies. Then what about cats, which are commonly believed to be unconcerned about human affairs
Saho Takagi, a researcher at Azabu University, doubted cats’ seeming unconcern. “Cats don't appear to listen to people's conversations, but in fact, they do,” said Takagi. According to previous research, cats understand human communication better than expected. Like dogs, they can use human pointing and stares to find food. They even can tell the difference between human facial expressions and states of attention , according to a 2016 study. However, cats can do more than that.
Another study showed that cats can discriminate their own names from the names of their cat companions (those that live in the same house). The researchers believed that cats learned to connect names with other cats by observing communication between their owners and their cat friends.
In a recently published study, Takagi and her colleagues compared two groups of cats: one group was made up of house cats that lived with at least two other cats; the other was made up of cats that lived in “cat cafés”, which had up to 30 cats. They used a simple, two-phase(阶段) test. During the name phase, the study participant(参与者) was softly placed in front of a laptop computer. Then the researcher played a recording of its owner saying the name of one of its cat companions.
Immediately after the name phase came the face phase. A cat's face appeared on the monitor. Sometimes , the cat that appeared on the screen matched the name spoken; other times，the name and the image did not match. If cats knew the names of their cat friends, they would investigate by staring doubtfully at the monitor when the name and image did not match. House cats had a significantly longer stare than café cats, indicating that house cats generally expected a specific cat's face upon hearing the cat's name.
"This is the first evidence showing that house cats link human words and their social companions through daily experiences," the researchers wrote. However, we could not recognize the mechanism (机制) for learning. But with more and more scientists becoming interested in cats, who are much smarter than we assume, this question is sure to be solved."
28. What's people's common understanding of cats
A. They have their own language.
B. They show no interest in human things.
C. They can connect objects with words.
D. They can use human instructions to find food.
29. By comparing cats and dogs in Paragraph 2, the author wants to stress___.
A. cats and dogs are all clever animals
B. cats' ability to learn is stronger than dogs'
C. cats and dogs can get along well with humans
D. cats' ability goes beyond recognizing body language
30. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "discriminate" in Paragraph 3
A. Tell. B. Protect. C. Excuse. D. Learn.
31. What is the unsettled question of the study
A. How cats can recognize other cats' face.
B. Whether cats are much smarter than expected.
C. Whether cats can understand human communication.
D. How cats link human words and their social companions.
D
Looking out of the window of his truck, Bob Fitzgerald sees dying forests and empty farmland. Fitzgerald says the land has been in his family since the 17th century. "I can show you land around here that people grew tomatoes on when I was a little boy. And now it's gone."
Climate change is making things worse. As sea levels rise, salt water is entering rivers and other waterways. As a result, the land is becoming too salty for crops to grow on. Hundreds of millions of people will be forced to move inland because of rising waters.
Kate Tully, a researcher in the University of Maryland, wants to keep coastal farmers in business as the seas rise. She has seen the forests filled with pine trees killed by the increasingly salty soil. The United States Department of Agriculture gave Tully and other researchers $1.1 million to study the problem. She and her team hope to give farmers ways to stay on their land.
They are testing different crops on pieces of land around the Eastern Shore. "Sorghum(高粱) is my new favorite crop because it can grow without rain and it can grow with lots of rain." The grain (谷物) crop may be a good choice to feed the nearly 600 million chickens kept in the area each year. As farmers know, chickens can deal with salt, dry weather conditions and heavy rains. Yet just being able to grow a crop is not enough. The crop has to bring in money.
Some people believe the land should be given back to nature. They say the fields should be turned into wetlands, which are popular with duck hunters . "There's money in duck hunting," Tully said. "Hunting organizations will pay farmers for hunting on their land. Farmers could make a lot of money from duck hunting."
Tully and her team are just getting started. It will be a few years before they really understand how to save the farms.
What is the purpose of Paragraph 1
A. To lead to the main topic.
B. To describe the farm scenery.
C. To illustrate a memorable experience.
D. To provide the background information.
Why were Tully and other researchers given $1.1 million
A. To help farmers stay on their land.
B. To study new crops for coastal farmers.
C. To study climate change in recent years.
D. To help farmers start their own business.
34. What was Tully’s attitude towards turning farms into wetlands
A. Concerned. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Negative.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Climate Change Making Things Worse.
B. Rising Seas Forcing Changes on Farms.
C. Coastal Farmers Saving Their Homeland.
D. Scientists Teaching Farmers to Plant Crops.

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。
I was awakened by the sound of heavy boots hitting the floor as my grandfather walked across the wooden floor to the fireplace. He added wood to the fire. Soon, the small wooden house felt warm.
It was 5:30 on a cold January morning, deep in the mountains of central Pennsylvania. I, a 12-year-old boy, was here with my grandfather and four other men on an annual deer-hunting trip. My grandfather wanted me to take the adventure to increase my courage and fun.
Looking at me, he smiled, "Could you make some coffee " To prove that I was qualified to join this male club, I got up and did the work.
After breakfast, we left the warm and safe house and headed out into the dark, snowy morning, walking through deep snow. When we climbed over a mountain and crossed frozen streams, my grandfather told me to be mindful of where we had been and where we were heading. I tried to keep track of our route, but later had no idea.
About mid-afternoon, we made our way down the side of a new mountain to the stream bed below. My grandfather told me to head to the top of the next mountain, walk along the ridge (山脊) for a few hundred feet, and then come back down. If there were any deer on that part of the mountain, I would need to threaten them down to the bottom where my grandfather waited. So, off I went with a gun.
It took me 20 minutes to climb to the top. I walked along the ridge and then headed back down. I didn't realize I had crossed over the top and had started back down the other side of the mountain. I headed in the wrong direction. After walking for 45 minutes, I realized I was lost in the woods. I was shocked.
After finally calming myself, I sat down and worked out a plan. I would first fire the gun and then start a fire, hoping my grandfather would know where I was by the sounds and smoke. I looked at my watch. It was 4:00. The sun would set soon.
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。
Paragraph 1: I held my gun and immediately fired three shots.
Paragraph 2: Finally, I found my grandfather and other men walking in my direction hurriedly.

I held my gun and immediately fired three shots. The loud sounds quickly spread. Then, I cocked my ears. Immediately, I heard three answering shots, and I was pretty sure which direction they had come from. But I didn’t leave, thinking, “Stay put. It’s easier to find a lost person who is sitting still.” I just stayed there, gathering dry leaves and branches nearby, and soon started a fire. Later, I added wet branches and leaves to it. It caused big smoke, which flew into the sky. I sat by the fire, looking around and waiting anxiously.
Finally, I found my grandfather and other men walking in my direction hurriedly. Excited, I rushed to them. Seeing me, my grandfather sighed with relief and hugged me. Then, we headed back towards the house. On the way, my grandfather didn’t blame me for being lost. Instead, he praised me for knowing how to handle such an emergency. Besides, he explained how to avoid being lost again. The next morning, I went hunting with my grandfather again. I wouldn’t be scared away by the previous accident. I was determined to be brave and make progress in tracking my route and telling directions.
