Some people can be pretty anxious about their first airplane flight alone, but 16-year-old Ashley was even more nervous.
Since the teen was born deaf, she was worried that her deafness would prevent her from receiving any details about her flight from Baltimore, Maryland to Rochester, New York. To make matters worse, she had a connecting flight from the big JFK International Airport, which can be an extremely busy airport for even the most experienced fliers. “I felt nervous because… what if I miss my flight ” Ashley told WJLA through an American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreter (口译员).
Thankfully, Ashley had a safe and successful flight—and thanks to a kind flight attendant (乘务员), it was also a particularly memorable one. Shortly after Ashley’s plane took off from Baltimore, her Delta airline flight attendant handed her a handwritten note which explained everything about the flight and safety information. Ashley told reporters that she had never experienced such kindness before, and the note, which she now plans to keep forever, meant the world to her.
Delta later responded to the story by praising their flight attendant for her communication and announcing their plans to make airline travel more helpful for deaf passengers. Over the course of the next few months, airline attendants who can speak ASL will be encouraged to wear a sign that will identify them to passengers. “With this improvement, customers will immediately be able to recognize when they hold sign language as a common connection,” a Delta spokesperson told WJLA.
4．What made the travel even harder for Ashley
A. Having no ASL interpreter. B. Missing the connecting flight.
C. Taking a plane to travel alone. D. Having to change planes at a big airport.
5．How did Ashley feel after receiving the note from the attendant
A. Nervous. B. Moved. C. Relaxed. D. Calm.
6．Why are attendants who can speak ASL encouraged to wear signs
A. To be recognized easily. B. To improve their image.
C. To show off their abilities. D. To be praised by their leaders.
7．What can be the suitable title for the text
A. A Written Note to an Airline
B. Teenager’s First Travel by Plane
C. Airline’s Requests for Attendants
D. Deaf Teen’s Thanks to Flight Attendant
A powerful earthquake hit Morocco on Friday night. The earthquake struck around 11 pm on Friday night. The USGS (US Geological Survey) says that the earthquake had a magnitude of about 6.8. But Morocco’s earthquake center recorded the earthquake as being almost twice that strong.
The quake was one of the most powerful ever recorded in Morocco. It’s also the country’s deadliest earthquake in over 60 years. So far, the earthquake is reported to have killed over 2,680 people. It has injured over 2,500 others. The earthquake was extremely dangerous because it happened at night. Marrakesh is a big city that’s popular with tourists. Many of its modern buildings seem to have survived the earthquake. But the old part of the city, called the Medina, was hit hard. The Medina has buildings that are over 1,000 years old.
Outside of Marrakesh, the earthquake caused even more damage. In the Atlas Mountains, the earthquake’s center, there are many small villages. Some villages were nearly destroyed. Many of the people in the area live in simple houses made of mud bricks. This is a traditional way of building in Morocco. But it’s not strong enough to protect against earthquakes. Many of these houses collapsed. Some of the bricks turned to sand.
Rescue workers have been working hard to save those affected by the quake. In larger cities, rescue efforts seem to be going well.
But it has taken a lot longer for help to reach far areas in the mountains. Many of these villages are difficult to get to. The earthquake caused landslides, blocking roads and making these places even more difficult to reach. In some areas, phone and electrical service were also knocked out, leaving these places completely cut off. That means that the local people in some areas far away have had to deal with the situation on their own.
But more help is coming. Some countries have offered teams of experts; others have offered emergency supplies.
8．Why was the earthquake in Morocco especially dangerous according to the text
A. It was the strongest on record.
B. There were too many tourists there.
C. The buildings there were all too old.
D. It happened when people were asleep.
9．What does the underlined word “collapsed” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Looked beautiful. B. Fell down. C. Lasted long. D. Stood still.
10．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Causes of the earthquake.
B. Terrible sights after the earthquake.
C. Difficulties met in rescuing.
D. Survivors’ efforts to rebuild the city.
11．Which part of a website can the text appear
A. Culture. B. News. C. Environment. D. Tourism.
From 2018 to 2021, about 10 billion snow crabs (蟹) disappeared from the eastern Bering Sea off the coast of Alaska. “It’s a fishery disaster in the truest sense of the word,” says Cody Szuwalski, a fishery biologist.
Usually, as winter’s thick sea ice melts (融化), the meltwater settles on the seafloor, creating a cold-water pool with temperatures below 2° Celsius on the eastern Bering Sea shelf, which makes perfect habitat for snow crabs. But a sea heat wave in the area in 2018 and 2019 prevented the usual amount of sea ice from forming.
After a close study, Szuwalski and his colleagues have found the water temperature probably didn’t kill the crabs directly, as snow crabs in laboratories can survive in waters up to 12℃. Instead, the crabs might have died from hunger. According to the study, the food demand of snow crabs in labs almost double as water temperature rises from 0℃ to 3℃. The crab population reached historic highs in 2018 thanks to great ocean conditions for newborn crabs around 2010. As a result, the crowded crabs probably needed more food, but because of the smaller foraging (觅食) area, they had even fewer resources to sink their claws into.
“It’s just something we didn’t expect, but now we have to live with,” says Christopher Harley, an ocean scientist. Such effects of ocean heat waves are likely to go beyond snow crabs. In answer to climate change, ecosystems in northern areas of the earth, such as Alaska’s, are changing more rapidly than anywhere else. Scientists can try to help predict (预测) and prepare for changes in the future with the aid of former research. “But the future increasingly holds events that have never happened on record before, like the drop in the snow crab population,” Harley says.
12．Which of the following is suitable for snow crabs to live according to the text
A. Quiet warm water. B. Large water area.
C. Cold deep water. D. Cold sea surface.
13．What probably directly causes the disappearance of more snow crabs
A. Polluted seawater.
B. Inability to fight diseases.
C. Change in water temperature.
D. Too little food for so many snow crabs.
14．Why are ecosystems in northern areas of the earth changing
A. To adapt to climate change. B. To force people to reduce activities.
C. To avoid destruction from humans. D. To remove environmental pollution.
15．What does Harley mean when it comes to the prediction for the future based on former research
A. It is useless. B. It is challenging.
C. It is economical. D. It is rewarding.

六、读后续写

It was exam time at Marc’s school. Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study.
His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do.
“Shall we go to the park ” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.”
Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football ”
“Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.”
“That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!”
“You won’t beat me,” said Marc.
“Oh yes, I will.”
“Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!”
For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
“You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong ” she said.

13．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中“Instead, the crabs might have died from hunger. (相反，这些螃蟹可能是死于饥饿)”和“The crab population reached historic highs in 2018 thanks to great ocean conditions for newborn crabs around 2010. As a result, the crowded crabs probably needed more food, but because of the smaller foraging (觅食) area, they had even fewer resources to sink their claws into. (螃蟹数量在2018年达到历史最高水平，这要归功于2010年左右新生螃蟹的良好海洋条件。因此，拥挤的蟹群可能需要更多的食物，但由于觅食区域更小，它们可以抓住的资源就更少了)”可知，这么多的雪蟹只有很少的食物的情况可能直接导致了更多雪蟹的消失。故选D项。
14．答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In answer to climate change, ecosystems in northern areas of the earth, such as Alaska’s, are changing more rapidly than anywhere else. (为了应对气候变化，地球北部地区的生态系统，如阿拉斯加的生态系统，正在以比其他任何地方都快的速度发生变化)”可知，这些区域生态系统的变化是为了适应气候变化。故选A项。
15．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Scientists can try to help predict (预测) and prepare for changes in the future with the aid of former research. “But the future increasingly holds events that have never happened on record before, like the drop in the snow crab population,” Harley says. (科学家们可以借助以往的研究成果来帮助预测和准备未来的变化。Harley说：“但未来会发生前所未有的事件，比如雪蟹数量的减少。”)”可知，虽然科学家可以在以往研究的基础上对未来进行预测，但是Harley认为未来很可能发生前所未有的事件，令预测变得困难。由此可知，他认为这种预测是具有挑战性的。故选B项。
16．答案：①-⑤DFGCA

34．答案： “You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong ” she said. Explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck, he told Lily his decision. He wanted to make careful preparations for the exam, but ran into difficulties with math. He was at a loss what to do next. “Don’t worry! I’ll help you. Just be confident!” replied Lily. The following days, Marc worked very hard and made great progress. Gradually, his confidence grew and he could solve math problems with ease, with the instructions appearing in his brain as if the teacher was standing at his side .
On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted as if he was bound to win. But Marc didn’t care. When the exam began, Marc answered all the questions as best as he could. Several days later, the result came out. It turned out that Marc did much better than Huck. “Well done,” said Mom. “We could go to see a movie to celebrate, and you can choose one.” “I think Lily should choose,” said Marc. “I would never have gained such a great achievement without her help and encouragement .”

Some people can be pretty anxious about their first airplane flight alone, but 16-year-old Ashley was even more nervous.
Since the teen was born deaf, she was worried that her deafness would prevent her from receiving any details about her flight from Baltimore, Maryland to Rochester, New York. To make matters worse, she had a connecting flight from the big JFK International Airport, which can be an extremely busy airport for even the most experienced fliers. “I felt nervous because… what if I miss my flight ” Ashley told WJLA through an American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreter (口译员).
Thankfully, Ashley had a safe and successful flight—and thanks to a kind flight attendant (乘务员), it was also a particularly memorable one. Shortly after Ashley’s plane took off from Baltimore, her Delta airline flight attendant handed her a handwritten note which explained everything about the flight and safety information. Ashley told reporters that she had never experienced such kindness before, and the note, which she now plans to keep forever, meant the world to her.
Delta later responded to the story by praising their flight attendant for her communication and announcing their plans to make airline travel more helpful for deaf passengers. Over the course of the next few months, airline attendants who can speak ASL will be encouraged to wear a sign that will identify them to passengers. “With this improvement, customers will immediately be able to recognize when they hold sign language as a common connection,” a Delta spokesperson told WJLA.
4．What made the travel even harder for Ashley
A. Having no ASL interpreter. B. Missing the connecting flight.
C. Taking a plane to travel alone. D. Having to change planes at a big airport.

7．What can be the suitable title for the text
A. A Written Note to an Airline
B. Teenager’s First Travel by Plane
C. Airline’s Requests for Attendants
D. Deaf Teen’s Thanks to Flight Attendant
A powerful earthquake hit Morocco on Friday night. The earthquake struck around 11 pm on Friday night. The USGS (US Geological Survey) says that the earthquake had a magnitude of about 6.8. But Morocco’s earthquake center recorded the earthquake as being almost twice that strong.
The quake was one of the most powerful ever recorded in Morocco. It’s also the country’s deadliest earthquake in over 60 years. So far, the earthquake is reported to have killed over 2,680 people. It has injured over 2,500 others. The earthquake was extremely dangerous because it happened at night. Marrakesh is a big city that’s popular with tourists. Many of its modern buildings seem to have survived the earthquake. But the old part of the city, called the Medina, was hit hard. The Medina has buildings that are over 1,000 years old.
Outside of Marrakesh, the earthquake caused even more damage. In the Atlas Mountains, the earthquake’s center, there are many small villages. Some villages were nearly destroyed. Many of the people in the area live in simple houses made of mud bricks. This is a traditional way of building in Morocco. But it’s not strong enough to protect against earthquakes. Many of these houses collapsed. Some of the bricks turned to sand.
Rescue workers have been working hard to save those affected by the quake. In larger cities, rescue efforts seem to be going well.
But it has taken a lot longer for help to reach far areas in the mountains. Many of these villages are difficult to get to. The earthquake caused landslides, blocking roads and making these places even more difficult to reach. In some areas, phone and electrical service were also knocked out, leaving these places completely cut off. That means that the local people in some areas far away have had to deal with the situation on their own.
But more help is coming. Some countries have offered teams of experts; others have offered emergency supplies.
8．Why was the earthquake in Morocco especially dangerous according to the text
A. It was the strongest on record.
B. There were too many tourists there.
C. The buildings there were all too old.
D. It happened when people were asleep.
9．What does the underlined word “collapsed” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Looked beautiful. B. Fell down. C. Lasted long. D. Stood still.
10．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Causes of the earthquake.
B. Terrible sights after the earthquake.
C. Difficulties met in rescuing.
D. Survivors’ efforts to rebuild the city.
11．Which part of a website can the text appear
A. Culture. B. News. C. Environment. D. Tourism.
From 2018 to 2021, about 10 billion snow crabs (蟹) disappeared from the eastern Bering Sea off the coast of Alaska. “It’s a fishery disaster in the truest sense of the word,” says Cody Szuwalski, a fishery biologist.
Usually, as winter’s thick sea ice melts (融化), the meltwater settles on the seafloor, creating a cold-water pool with temperatures below 2° Celsius on the eastern Bering Sea shelf, which makes perfect habitat for snow crabs. But a sea heat wave in the area in 2018 and 2019 prevented the usual amount of sea ice from forming.
After a close study, Szuwalski and his colleagues have found the water temperature probably didn’t kill the crabs directly, as snow crabs in laboratories can survive in waters up to 12℃. Instead, the crabs might have died from hunger. According to the study, the food demand of snow crabs in labs almost double as water temperature rises from 0℃ to 3℃. The crab population reached historic highs in 2018 thanks to great ocean conditions for newborn crabs around 2010. As a result, the crowded crabs probably needed more food, but because of the smaller foraging (觅食) area, they had even fewer resources to sink their claws into.
“It’s just something we didn’t expect, but now we have to live with,” says Christopher Harley, an ocean scientist. Such effects of ocean heat waves are likely to go beyond snow crabs. In answer to climate change, ecosystems in northern areas of the earth, such as Alaska’s, are changing more rapidly than anywhere else. Scientists can try to help predict (预测) and prepare for changes in the future with the aid of former research. “But the future increasingly holds events that have never happened on record before, like the drop in the snow crab population,” Harley says.
12．Which of the following is suitable for snow crabs to live according to the text
A. Quiet warm water. B. Large water area.
C. Cold deep water. D. Cold sea surface.
13．What probably directly causes the disappearance of more snow crabs
A. Polluted seawater.
B. Inability to fight diseases.
C. Change in water temperature.
D. Too little food for so many snow crabs.
14．Why are ecosystems in northern areas of the earth changing
A. To adapt to climate change. B. To force people to reduce activities.
C. To avoid destruction from humans. D. To remove environmental pollution.
15．What does Harley mean when it comes to the prediction for the future based on former research
A. It is useless. B. It is challenging.
C. It is economical. D. It is rewarding.

It was exam time at Marc’s school. Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study.
His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do.
“Shall we go to the park ” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.”
Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football ”
“Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.”
“That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!”
“You won’t beat me,” said Marc.
“Oh yes, I will.”
“Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!”
For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window.

解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“Usually, as winter’s thick sea ice melts (融化), the meltwater settles on the seafloor, creating a cold-water pool with temperatures below 2° Celsius on the eastern Bering Sea shelf, which makes perfect habitat for snow crabs. (通常，随着冬季厚厚的海冰融化，融水沉淀在海底，在白令海东部大陆架上形成一个温度低于2摄氏度的冷水池，这是雪蟹的完美栖息地)”可知，海底低于2摄氏度的冷水池是雪蟹的完美栖息地，因此寒冷的深水适合它们生活。故选C项。
13．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中“Instead, the crabs might have died from hunger. (相反，这些螃蟹可能是死于饥饿)”和“The crab population reached historic highs in 2018 thanks to great ocean conditions for newborn crabs around 2010. As a result, the crowded crabs probably needed more food, but because of the smaller foraging (觅食) area, they had even fewer resources to sink their claws into. (螃蟹数量在2018年达到历史最高水平，这要归功于2010年左右新生螃蟹的良好海洋条件。因此，拥挤的蟹群可能需要更多的食物，但由于觅食区域更小，它们可以抓住的资源就更少了)”可知，这么多的雪蟹只有很少的食物的情况可能直接导致了更多雪蟹的消失。故选D项。
14．答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In answer to climate change, ecosystems in northern areas of the earth, such as Alaska’s, are changing more rapidly than anywhere else. (为了应对气候变化，地球北部地区的生态系统，如阿拉斯加的生态系统，正在以比其他任何地方都快的速度发生变化)”可知，这些区域生态系统的变化是为了适应气候变化。故选A项。
15．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Scientists can try to help predict (预测) and prepare for changes in the future with the aid of former research. “But the future increasingly holds events that have never happened on record before, like the drop in the snow crab population,” Harley says. (科学家们可以借助以往的研究成果来帮助预测和准备未来的变化。Harley说：“但未来会发生前所未有的事件，比如雪蟹数量的减少。”)”可知，虽然科学家可以在以往研究的基础上对未来进行预测，但是Harley认为未来很可能发生前所未有的事件，令预测变得困难。由此可知，他认为这种预测是具有挑战性的。故选B项。

34．答案： “You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong ” she said. Explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck, he told Lily his decision. He wanted to make careful preparations for the exam, but ran into difficulties with math. He was at a loss what to do next. “Don’t worry! I’ll help you. Just be confident!” replied Lily. The following days, Marc worked very hard and made great progress. Gradually, his confidence grew and he could solve math problems with ease, with the instructions appearing in his brain as if the teacher was standing at his side .
On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted as if he was bound to win. But Marc didn’t care. When the exam began, Marc answered all the questions as best as he could. Several days later, the result came out. It turned out that Marc did much better than Huck. “Well done,” said Mom. “We could go to see a movie to celebrate, and you can choose one.” “I think Lily should choose,” said Marc. “I would never have gained such a great achievement without her help and encouragement .”
解析：1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“她说：‘Marc，你看起来不开心。怎么了？’”可知，本段可以写Marc会告诉姐姐Lily发生了什么事，以及自己遇到的困难，姐姐在得知Marc的困难之后应该会施以援手，帮助Marc复习功课，准备考试。在姐姐的帮助和自己的努力下，Mare在数学上应是有了很大的进步。
②由第二段首句内容“考试那天，Marc自信满满地去了学校。”可知，本段可以写考试前、考试中以及考试后发生的事情。比如考试前Marc和Huck各自的状态，考试期间Marc的表现，以及考试成绩出来后，Marc取得了非常优异的成绩和Huck或Marc家人对此的反应等。
2.续写线索：Lily询问Marc→Marc讲述了自己遇到的困难→Lily帮助Marc复习→Marc成功地通过考试，且比Huck考得高→妈妈想要奖励Marc→Marc觉得奖励应该给Lily。
3.词汇激活：
行为类：
选择：choose/make a choice/make an option
增加了信心：grow confidence/build up confidence/double confidence
解决：solve/work out/tackle
情绪类：
