A
Here are this year’s four scientific discoveries that could lead to new inventions.
Discovery 1—To survive in the ocean, some animals hide themselves from the light, hoping not to be found by a predator (捕食者). However, their eyes reflect (反射) light, creating shine that can give away their location. Some tiny crustaceans (甲壳类动物) have developed a way around this disadvantage. Their eyes are covered with a sheet of special glass that effectively matches their eyeshine to the color of surrounding water. In this way, they become invisible (看不见的). This discovery might help researchers improve relative technologies in remote sensing and communications.
Discovery 2—Brown bears seldom suffer from blood clots (血栓). To find out how they do it, scientists tracked down brown bears in Sweden. They discovered one protein (蛋白质) in brown bears showed a significant seasonal change. The discovery could provide ways for preventive treatment for cancer patients and those likely to develop blood clots.
Discovery 3—Asp caterpillar venom (毛虫毒液) contains an unusual protein. When it reaches the outer surface of a cell (细胞), this protein makes a hole through the cell wall. By researching such nature, engineers could develop medicine delivery ways to get drugs (药物) inside cells where they need to work.
Discovery 4—This year, scientists found two special proteins in bowhead whales. The proteins called CIRBP and RPA2 play a role in DNA repair, making the animals unlikely to develop cancers. As a scientist says, we probably have the solution to cancer medicine out there in nature already.
1. What can we know about the tiny crustaceans
A. Their eyes reflect light and create shine. B. They can carefully hide themselves.
C. Their eyes do not shine while reflecting light. D. They are easily found by their predators.
2. Which discovery might improve ways doctors use drugs
A. Discovery 1. B. Discovery 2. C. Discovery 3. D. Discovery 4.
3. What do the four discoveries have in common
A. They provide an inspiration for new ideas or ways of doing things.
B. They might bring about a breakthrough in communication.
C. They are all good for environmental protection.
D. They are all concerned with endangered animals.
B
As a boy, I knew little about baseball. Yet I later became the father of two boys, Will and Tim, who were both interested in baseball. On Saturday mornings, I’d take Will out to the playground and play catch with him. Because of my weak arm, the ball often dropped before he could catch it. After many misses, he said one day, “How am I ever going to make the major leagues (联盟) ” “You have the wrong dad, kid,” I thought. Baseball isn’t my thing.
Still, I wanted to give my kids confidence on the field. There was an official Little League in our area, but it was super-competitive and only catered to older boys. I really hoped we had something less competitive, something that welcomed younger boys and girls.
I shared the idea with some neighbors. “That would be great!” they said. Now who could organize such a thing Not me. I tried to put the idea aside, but it wouldn’t leave me. I finally decided that I must do something about it. So I called the city government, explaining that some families wanted to start a baseball league in our neighborhood. Were there any fields for that When I had to speak to the official in charge, I got butterflies in my stomach. What if he said no “Yes, we have two fields for four hours every Sunday morning,” the man said hearing my request. Our league was founded. What a joy it was to sit on the benches, watching Will and Tim playing baseball! And I became the most unlikely baseball commissioner (专员) ever.
Many years have passed. Now Will and Tim are new dads, and I can’t want to see what they’ll have to do. I know better than anyone: Parenthood calls you to do the most unlikely things.
4. Why did the author think his son Will had the wrong father
A. He had poor baseball skills. B. He had no confidence in his son.
C. He wouldn’t play catch with his son. D. He didn’t know what his son’s dream was.
5. What does the underlined phrase “catered to” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Won the respect of. B. Ensured the safety of.
C. Served the purpose of. D. Saved the trouble of.
6. How did the author probably feel while talking to the official
A. Confident. B. Peaceful. C. Nervous. D. Proud.
7. What does the author want to stress in the text
A. The need to challenge oneself. B. The greatness of parental love.
C. The role of sports in kids’ growth. D. The relationship between parents and kids.
C
Steve Davies, a 23-year-old board designer in Wales, is developing a surfboard made from mycelia (菌丝体) instead of plastic.
A 2022 report showed that more than 400, 000 boards are made each year. The global market for surfboards reached $2.2 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $3.2 billion by 2027. But about 80% of boards are made from plastic, which can take hundreds of years to break down. This will be a serious problem for the environment as the market grows.
“And even when it does break down, it can go into fish’s ecosystem (生态系统), which means that humans will end up eating this plastic,” Davies said.
Davies made his first surfboard in 2020, but the experience showed him many harmful materials were produced in making each board. During his final year at university, he started looking into mycelia and making his beloved sport more environment-friendly.
“My family owns a farm with horses, so I was quickly able to collect substrate material (基料) in the form of horse bedding, to allow the mycelia to grow in,” Davies explained. “This gave me an idea to start a surfboard business—growing surfboards on a farm near the beach and using waste materials from that very same farm, reducing the transport of materials, and therefore reducing carbon (碳) given out into the environment.”
“In the right conditions, we will grow a mycelium board in around 21 days,” Davies said. “The dream would be to make it the new standard. Connecting with nature would be the new design rules and that would be really cool. We’re using the sea and we should give back to the sea.”
8. What do the numbers in Paragraph 2 mainly show
A. Going surfing costs a lot of money. B. Surfing is popular with young people.
C. Designing surfboards is a good business. D. Making eco-friendly surfboards is necessary.
9. Why does Davies mention “fish’s ecosystem”
A. To explain a rule. B. To present a reason.
C. To make a comparison. D. To share an experience.
10. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Why Davies loved to design surfboards.
B. What made Davies’ surfboard business possible.
C. Why Davies wanted to study mycelia at university.
D. How Davies collected substrate material to make surfboards.
11. What can we learn from Davies’ words in the last paragraph
A. He supports environment-friendly products. B. He hopes to succeed in selling surfboards.
C. He loves to get designing ideas from sea. D. He dreams of creating cooler surfboards.
D
While scientists have many ideas, they are not certain why humans yawn(打哈欠). Still, there is one thing experts know—yawns seem to be contagious(传染)!
Have you ever caught a yawn from someone else Most people have. In fact, a person is six times more likely to yawn after seeing someone else do so. Experts have done many studies into why yawns seem to pass from person to person. As a result, they have a few theories(理论) for the reason behind it.
One possible explanation has something to do with social mirroring, which is caused by mirror neurons(镜像神经元) in the brain. These mirror neurons help the brain notice useful behavior of others and then copy it. When one person sees another yawn, his mirror neurons observe the action and consider it to be beneficial. That may cause him to yawn, too.
Another popular theory is that yawns are contagious because of social relationships. Being social creatures, humans form friendships, families and live together in groups. That’s why many people mirror others, such as smiling when another person smiles. Yawning may be just another example of this. In fact, research has shown that one is most likely to catch yawns from another person if the two share a social relationship.
The answer could even be that yawns aren’t truly contagious at all. Instead, people yawn together simply because they’re in the same environment. Experts say many things may cause yawning, including temperature and time of day. Whatever the explanation is, experts do know that contagious yawns aren’t limited to humans. One study found that lions in South Africa also caught each other’s yawns.
12. What kind of behavior may be copied by mirror neurons
A. Important and attractive. B. Useful and beneficial.
C. Hard to understand. D. Easy to copy.
13. Whose yawns are people most likely to catch according to Paragraph 4
A. Those who yawn a lot. B. Those who like smiling.
C. Those closely connected with them. D. Those sharing the same interest with them.
14. What might the author continue talking about in the following paragraph
A. Tips on how to avoid yawning in public.
B. A real explanation for contagious yawning.
C. Other examples of animals yawning together.
D. Things that may cause yawning among humans.
15. Which of the following serves as the best title
A. Why yawns are contagious B. What causes people to yawn
C. Who yawns more than others D. Why humans yawn now and then

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。
People in Victoria have often been admired as they enjoy the year-round good climate of Canada’s “banana belt”. So when the unusual snowstorm struck the area this December, Victorians weren’t prepared.
Before Christmas holiday was over, Victorians wished they would never see snow again! However, between December 21st and 29th, so much snow fell. The little city that seldom sees snow was covered by snow that was over I meter deep.
I called my 87-year-old mother, who lived in a downtown nursing home. She was in poor health, but her mind was active and unaffected. “Mum,” I said, “we’re completely snowed in. It may be a few days before I can get out to see you.”
I was worried. My mother had caught a bad cold. And because of the storm, drugs were not being delivered.
On the morning of December 31st the phone rang. It was Mother’s nurse in charge. “The bad cold has seriously influenced your mother’s lungs,” she said. “She’s quite in low spirits, and she’s extremely eager to see you. Your coming may raise her spirits and increase her body’s ability to fight against the disease. Is there any way you can get here ”
I felt hopeless because I knew there was no way I could get there. Like thousands of others in the city, we were trapped.
Friends suggested I turn to C-FAX, one of the local radio stations. Since the heavy snowstorm struck Victoria, C-FAX had canceled its regular programming and was now a communication center for news updates, volunteer coordination (协调) and health and safety tips. In fact, it had become Victoria’s lifeline.
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 picked up my phone and asked anxiously, “Can you help me ”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Later, I eagerly got on a truck heading for the nursing room.

Here are this year’s four scientific discoveries that could lead to new inventions.
Discovery 1—To survive in the ocean, some animals hide themselves from the light, hoping not to be found by a predator (捕食者). However, their eyes reflect (反射) light, creating shine that can give away their location. Some tiny crustaceans (甲壳类动物) have developed a way around this disadvantage. Their eyes are covered with a sheet of special glass that effectively matches their eyeshine to the color of surrounding water. In this way, they become invisible (看不见的). This discovery might help researchers improve relative technologies in remote sensing and communications.
Discovery 2—Brown bears seldom suffer from blood clots (血栓). To find out how they do it, scientists tracked down brown bears in Sweden. They discovered one protein (蛋白质) in brown bears showed a significant seasonal change. The discovery could provide ways for preventive treatment for cancer patients and those likely to develop blood clots.
Discovery 3—Asp caterpillar venom (毛虫毒液) contains an unusual protein. When it reaches the outer surface of a cell (细胞), this protein makes a hole through the cell wall. By researching such nature, engineers could develop medicine delivery ways to get drugs (药物) inside cells where they need to work.
Discovery 4—This year, scientists found two special proteins in bowhead whales. The proteins called CIRBP and RPA2 play a role in DNA repair, making the animals unlikely to develop cancers. As a scientist says, we probably have the solution to cancer medicine out there in nature already.
1. What can we know about the tiny crustaceans
A. Their eyes reflect light and create shine. B. They can carefully hide themselves.
C. Their eyes do not shine while reflecting light. D. They are easily found by their predators.
2. Which discovery might improve ways doctors use drugs
A. Discovery 1. B. Discovery 2. C. Discovery 3. D. Discovery 4.
3. What do the four discoveries have in common
A. They provide an inspiration for new ideas or ways of doing things.
B. They might bring about a breakthrough in communication.
C. They are all good for environmental protection.
D. They are all concerned with endangered animals.
【答案】1. C 2. C 3. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了今年可能带来新发明的四项科学发现。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段中“To survive in the ocean, some animals hide themselves from the light, hoping not to be found by a predator (捕食者). However, their eyes reflect (反射) light, creating shine that can give away their location. Some tiny crustaceans (甲壳类动物) have developed a way around this disadvantage. Their eyes are covered with a sheet of special glass that effectively matches their eyeshine to the color of surrounding water. In this way, they become invisible (看不见的). (为了在海洋中生存，一些动物把自己藏起来躲避光线，希望不会被捕食者发现。然而，它们的眼睛反射光，发出的光芒会暴露它们的位置。一些微小的甲壳类动物已经找到了一种绕过这一劣势的方法。它们的眼睛上覆盖着一层特殊的玻璃，可以有效地将眼睛的光泽与周围水的颜色相匹配。通过这种方式，他们变得不可见。这一发现可能有助于研究人员改进遥感和通信方面的相关技术。)”可知，这种微小的甲壳类动物的眼睛反射光线时不发光。故选C。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段中“Discovery 3—Asp caterpillar venom (毛虫毒液) contains an unusual protein. When it reaches the outer surface of a cell (细胞), this protein makes a hole through the cell wall. By researching such nature, engineers could develop medicine delivery ways to get drugs (药物) inside cells where they need to work. (发现3-Asp毛虫毒液含有一种不寻常的蛋白质。当它到达细胞的外表面时，这种蛋白质会在细胞壁上打一个洞。通过研究这种性质，工程师们可以开发出药物输送方法，将药物输送到细胞中需要发挥作用的地方。)”可知，发现3可能会改善医生使用药物的方式。故选C。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段中“This discovery might help researchers improve relative technologies in remote sensing and communications. (这一发现可能有助于研究人员改进遥感和通信方面的相关技术。)”、第三段中“The discovery could provide ways for preventive treatment for cancer patients and those likely to develop blood clots. (这一发现可能为癌症患者和那些可能形成血栓的人提供预防性治疗方法。)”、第四段中“By researching such nature, engineers could develop medicine delivery ways to get drugs (药物) inside cells where they need to work. (通过研究这种性质，工程师们可以开发出药物输送方法，将药物输送到细胞中需要发挥作用的地方。)”、最后一段中“As a scientist says, we probably have the solution to cancer medicine out there in nature already.

As a boy, I knew little about baseball. Yet I later became the father of two boys, Will and Tim, who were both interested in baseball. On Saturday mornings, I’d take Will out to the playground and play catch with him. Because of my weak arm, the ball often dropped before he could catch it. After many misses, he said one day, “How am I ever going to make the major leagues (联盟) ” “You have the wrong dad, kid,” I thought. Baseball isn’t my thing.
Still, I wanted to give my kids confidence on the field. There was an official Little League in our area, but it was super-competitive and only catered to older boys. I really hoped we had something less competitive, something that welcomed younger boys and girls.
I shared the idea with some neighbors. “That would be great!” they said. Now who could organize such a thing Not me. I tried to put the idea aside, but it wouldn’t leave me. I finally decided that I must do something about it. So I called the city government, explaining that some families wanted to start a baseball league in our neighborhood. Were there any fields for that When I had to speak to the official in charge, I got butterflies in my stomach. What if he said no “Yes, we have two fields for four hours every Sunday morning,” the man said hearing my request. Our league was founded. What a joy it was to sit on the benches, watching Will and Tim playing baseball! And I became the most unlikely baseball commissioner (专员) ever.
Many years have passed. Now Will and Tim are new dads, and I can’t want to see what they’ll have to do. I know better than anyone: Parenthood calls you to do the most unlikely things.

Steve Davies, a 23-year-old board designer in Wales, is developing a surfboard made from mycelia (菌丝体) instead of plastic.
A 2022 report showed that more than 400, 000 boards are made each year. The global market for surfboards reached $2.2 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $3.2 billion by 2027. But about 80% of boards are made from plastic, which can take hundreds of years to break down. This will be a serious problem for the environment as the market grows.
“And even when it does break down, it can go into fish’s ecosystem (生态系统), which means that humans will end up eating this plastic,” Davies said.
Davies made his first surfboard in 2020, but the experience showed him many harmful materials were produced in making each board. During his final year at university, he started looking into mycelia and making his beloved sport more environment-friendly.
“My family owns a farm with horses, so I was quickly able to collect substrate material (基料) in the form of horse bedding, to allow the mycelia to grow in,” Davies explained. “This gave me an idea to start a surfboard business—growing surfboards on a farm near the beach and using waste materials from that very same farm, reducing the transport of materials, and therefore reducing carbon (碳) given out into the environment.”
“In the right conditions, we will grow a mycelium board in around 21 days,” Davies said. “The dream would be to make it the new standard. Connecting with nature would be the new design rules and that would be really cool. We’re using the sea and we should give back to the sea.”
8. What do the numbers in Paragraph 2 mainly show
A. Going surfing costs a lot of money. B. Surfing is popular with young people.
C. Designing surfboards is a good business. D. Making eco-friendly surfboards is necessary.
9. Why does Davies mention “fish’s ecosystem”
A. To explain a rule. B. To present a reason.
C. To make a comparison. D. To share an experience.
10. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Why Davies loved to design surfboards.
B. What made Davies’ surfboard business possible.
C. Why Davies wanted to study mycelia at university.
D. How Davies collected substrate material to make surfboards.
11. What can we learn from Davies’ words in the last paragraph
A He supports environment-friendly products. B. He hopes to succeed in selling surfboards.
C. He loves to get designing ideas from sea. D. He dreams of creating cooler surfboards.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. A

But about 80% of boards are made from plastic, which can take hundreds of years to break down. This will be a serious problem for the environment as the market grows. (2022年的一份报告显示，每年制造的电路板超过40万块。全球冲浪板市场达到了2美元。到2020年将达到20亿美元，预计将达到30亿美元。到2027年将达到20亿。但大约80%的木板是由塑料制成的，塑料需要数百年才能分解。随着市场的增长，这将成为一个严重的环境问题。)”可知，制作环保冲浪板是必要的。 故选D 。

【10题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第五段中“My family owns a farm with horses, so I was quickly able to collect substrate material (基料) in the form of horse bedding, to allow the mycelia to grow in,” Davies explained. “Davies explained. “This gave me an idea to start a surfboard business—growing surfboards on a farm near the beach and using waste materials from that very same farm, reducing the transport of materials, and therefore reducing carbon (碳) given out into the environment.” (戴维斯解释道：“我家有一个养马的农场，所以我很快就能够以马床的形式收集基料，让菌丝生长在里面。“这给了我一个开始冲浪板生意的想法——在海滩附近的农场种植冲浪板，使用同一个农场的废料，减少材料的运输，从而减少排放到环境中的碳。”)”可知， 戴维斯解释了什么使他的冲浪板生意成为可能。故选B。

While scientists have many ideas, they are not certain why humans yawn(打哈欠). Still, there is one thing experts know—yawns seem to be contagious(传染)!
Have you ever caught a yawn from someone else Most people have. In fact, a person is six times more likely to yawn after seeing someone else do so. Experts have done many studies into why yawns seem to pass from person to person. As a result, they have a few theories(理论) for the reason behind it.
One possible explanation has something to do with social mirroring, which is caused by mirror neurons(镜像神经元) in the brain. These mirror neurons help the brain notice useful behavior of others and then copy it. When one person sees another yawn, his mirror neurons observe the action and consider it to be beneficial. That may cause him to yawn, too.
Another popular theory is that yawns are contagious because of social relationships. Being social creatures, humans form friendships, families and live together in groups. That’s why many people mirror others, such as smiling when another person smiles. Yawning may be just another example of this. In fact, research has shown that one is most likely to catch yawns from another person if the two share a social relationship.
The answer could even be that yawns aren’t truly contagious at all. Instead, people yawn together simply because they’re in the same environment. Experts say many things may cause yawning, including temperature and time of day. Whatever the explanation is, experts do know that contagious yawns aren’t limited to humans. One study found that lions in South Africa also caught each other’s yawns.
12. What kind of behavior may be copied by mirror neurons
A. Important and attractive. B. Useful and beneficial.
C. Hard to understand. D. Easy to copy.
13. Whose yawns are people most likely to catch according to Paragraph 4
A. Those who yawn a lot. B. Those who like smiling.
C. Those closely connected with them. D. Those sharing the same interest with them.
14. What might the author continue talking about in the following paragraph
A. Tips on how to avoid yawning in public.
B. A real explanation for contagious yawning.
C. Other examples of animals yawning together.
D. Things that may cause yawning among humans.
15. Which of the following serves as the best title
A. Why yawns are contagious B. What causes people to yawn
C. Who yawns more than others D. Why humans yawn now and then
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些关于打哈欠会传染的理论。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“One possible explanation has something to do with social mirroring, which is caused by mirror neurons in the brain. These mirror neurons help the brain notice useful behavior of others and then copy it. When one person sees another yawn, his mirror neurons observe the action and consider it to be beneficial. That may cause him to yawn, too.(一种可能的解释与社交镜像有关，社交镜像是由大脑中的镜像神经元引起的。这些镜像神经元帮助大脑注意到他人的有用行为，然后复制它。当一个人看到另一个人打哈欠时，他的镜像神经元会观察到这个动作，并认为这是有益的。这也可能导致他打哈欠)”可知，镜像神经元可以复制有用和有益的行为。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Another popular theory is that yawns are contagious because of social relationships. Being social creatures, humans form friendships, families and live together in groups. That’s why many people mirror others, such as smiling when another person smiles. Yawning may be just another example of this. In fact, research has shown that one is most likely to catch yawns from another person if the two share a social relationship.(另一个流行的理论是，打哈欠会因为社会关系而传染。作为社会生物，人类建立友谊、家庭，并以群体的形式生活在一起。这就是为什么很多人都会模仿别人，比如当别人微笑时微笑。打哈欠可能只是另一个例子。事实上，研究表明，如果一个人和另一个人有着共同的社会关系，那么他们最有可能被对方打哈欠)”可知，人们最容易被那些与他们关系密切的人的哈欠传染。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Experts say many things may cause yawning, including temperature and time of day. Whatever the explanation is, experts do know that contagious yawns aren’t limited to humans. One study found that lions in South Africa also caught each other’s yawns.(专家表示，许多因素可能会导致打哈欠，包括温度和一天中的时间。无论解释是什么，专家们都知道传染性哈欠并不局限于人类。一项研究发现，南非的狮子也会互相打哈欠)”可推知，在接下来的段落中，作者可能会继续谈论其他动物一起打哈欠的例子。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。结合全文及文章第一段“While scientists have many ideas, they are not certain why humans yawn. Still, there is one thing experts know—yawns seem to be contagious!(虽然科学家们有很多想法，但他们不确定人类为什么会打哈欠。尽管如此，专家们还是知道一件事——打哈欠似乎会传染！)”可知，文章主要介绍了一些关于打哈欠会传染的理论，故A项“为什么打哈欠会传染”适合作为文章的标题。故选A项。

45. which
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。科学家研究发现：当植物受到压力时，会发出声音。这个发现有助于帮助植物生长。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：科学家们已经发现，这种信念可能是真实的。discovered后为省略了引导词that的宾语从句，本空填名词truth“真相，真实性，真实情况”，作从句主语。故填truth。
【37题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：这种声音与人类的哭声非常相似。结合句意和空前的are quite similar可知，本空填介词to，be similar to“与……相似”，为固定短语。故填to。
【38题详解】
考查固定句型。句意：不幸的是，植物的声音频率太高，人耳听不到。根据上文的“at too high a frequency (频率) for the human ear”可知，空格处须填to pick，too... to...意为“太……而不能……”。故填to pick。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：利用特殊的人工智能技术，科学家们现在可以接收到高达250千赫兹的植物发出的声音。本句谓语为can pick up，此处为非谓语动词，且he与give“给”为主动关系，应用现在分词，作状语。分析句子结构可知，sounds与send out“发出”构成被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。故填sent。
【40题详解】
考查动词语态、主谓一致。句意：这项研究是在以色列特拉维夫大学的温室里进行的。根据语境可知事情发生在过去，故时态用一般过去时，且The research与do构成被动关系，用一般过去时的被动语态，且主语为第三人称单数，be动词用was。故填was done。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态、主谓一致。句意：植物在受到压力时通常会发出声音。结合语境和give可知，本句陈述事实，故时态用一般现在时，且when引导的时间状语从句的主语为they，be动词用are。故填are。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：每种植物和每种类型的压力都与一种特定的声音有关。此处泛指“一种特定的声音”，且specific以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：她表示，农田可能非常嘈杂，“虽然人耳听不到，但植物发出的声音可以被蝙蝠、老鼠和昆虫听到。”本空应用形容词noisy“吵闹的，嘈杂的”，作表语。故填noisy。
【44题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：她表示，农田可能非常嘈杂，“虽然人耳听不到，但植物发出的声音可以被蝙蝠、老鼠和昆虫听到。”结合句意可知，老鼠不止一个，应用名词复数形式mice，作by的宾语。故填mice。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：了解这些声音可以帮助我们知道作物何时需要浇水，这意味着农民可以更有效地浇灌作物，从而节约用水和资金。分析句子结构可知，本空引导非限制性定语从句，修饰主句，关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。

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。
People in Victoria have often been admired as they enjoy the year-round good climate of Canada’s “banana belt”. So when the unusual snowstorm struck the area this December, Victorians weren’t prepared.
Before Christmas holiday was over, Victorians wished they would never see snow again! However, between December 21st and 29th, so much snow fell. The little city that seldom sees snow was covered by snow that was over I meter deep.
I called my 87-year-old mother, who lived in a downtown nursing home. She was in poor health, but her mind was active and unaffected. “Mum,” I said, “we’re completely snowed in. It may be a few days before I can get out to see you.”
I was worried. My mother had caught a bad cold. And because of the storm, drugs were not being delivered.
On the morning of December 31st, the phone rang. It was Mother’s nurse in charge. “The bad cold has seriously influenced your mother’s lungs,” she said. “She’s quite in low spirits, and she’s extremely eager to see you. Your coming may raise her spirits and increase her body’s ability to fight against the disease. Is there any way you can get here ”
I felt hopeless because I knew there was no way I could get there. Like thousands of others in the city, we were trapped.
Friends suggested I turn to C-FAX, one of the local radio stations. Since the heavy snowstorm struck Victoria, C-FAX had canceled its regular programming and was now a communication center for news updates, volunteer coordination (协调) and health and safety tips. In fact, it had become Victoria’s lifeline.

【答案】
I picked up my phone and asked anxiously, “Can you help me ” I was asked patiently what had happened. After I explained the situation, the operator said they would do their best to help me and asked me to wait for further information from them. Though I did not feel much hope, I still looked forward to receiving their good news. About an hour later, the phone finally rang. The operator told me that a truck carrying medicine was going downtown, and I could take this bus there.
Later, I eagerly got on a truck heading for the nursing room. The road remained difficult to drive on. Although the car was moving slowly, fortunately it kept moving. I had been praying the whole way, hoping everything works out for us. After four hours, we finally reached our destination, although it took much longer than usual. When she saw me, my mother cried with excitement. After taking the medicine, my mother’s condition gradually improved. Many people, like me, were grateful to C-FAX.
