Tonight, our family was going out to play under the full moon.
My husband Todd and I first started going on full moon walks for ourselves, as we needed these little doses of moonlight to stay happy, though sometimes we had to hike through the forest to find a perfect spot. But after we became parents, we did this for our children. We wanted to show Sierra and Bryce that it was not necessary to travel far from home to have an adventure and learn something new, and that there was much magic in the natural world, available to all.
Once we arrived at our location, Sierra and I stood holding hands, waiting to cheer the full moon in its rising---a thin sliver of the appealing moon emerged above the ridge of the mountain afar. Soon, more of the moon came out until it turned into a brilliant orange sphere. Todd explained to Sierra and Bryce that the moon generates no light, but simply acts like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight back to us. “Does the moon's face change "Bryce asked. I told him that the moon rotates (旋转) around the earth, but does not spin by itself, so the same side of the moon is always facing the earth.Sierra remarked that the moon looked larger and closer when it was rising. I explained that it is a visual illusion (错觉) because it is so close to the horizon that the moon magically tricks our eyes into comparing it with nearby objects, thus creating the impression of the increased size.
Much of the knowledge that I shared with the kids was learned from my parents. During my childhood, they would take me on educational adventures out in the woods, and as I later found, so did their parents. So every time I go for a full moon walk with my beloved family, I thank those wise educators who came before me.
To educate, sometimes all it takes is going outdoors and gazing up at the heavens.
What does the underlined word ‘this’ in paragraph 2 mean
A.Going on a hike through the forest.
B. Taking a walk under the full moon.
C.Watching magic shows every month.
D.Traveling far from home for adventure.
25.What can we learn from their family outing
A. The kids were reluctant to participate.
B. Todd mentioned the mirror to explain sunlight.
C. The kids exhibited a spirit of exploration about the moon.
D. The author used a magic trick to explain the larger moon.
26.Which of the following best describes the parents
A. Creative and faithful. B.Selfless and brave.
C. Inspiring and generous. D.Insightful and patient.
27. What does the story convey to the readers
A. Life is what you make it. B.Every cloud has silver lining.
C. Nature is the best teacher D. God helps those who help themselves.

Native wild horses in North America went extinct 10,000 years ago.In the 16th century, European settlers brought domesticated (驯化了的) horses to this continent,and their population multiplied.Some people consider them as a reintroduced native species,while others see them as invasive pests that damage ecosystems.Today there are more wild horses in the American West than the land can support,and the government has to control their numbers through birth-control vaccines and occasional but controversial killings.
However,Erick Lundgren,a postdoc at Aarhus University,notes that large plant-eaters play a crucial role in the ecosystem,where grass and shrubs are either consumed by animals or burned. Therefore,reintroducing extinct plant-eating mammals,like wild horses in this case, could potentially reduce the occurrence of fires.He advocates taking them off the rang-elands (牧场),where they’re hated for competing with cattle for food,and strategically placing them where they can do what they do best and benefit the environment.
Although conservationists generally prefer native organisms to restore ecosystems, non-native species can fill in the ecological gaps left by extinct animals.A lot of research still looks at how bad invasive species are for the environment,but that’s not the only possibility. For example,Australian saltwater crocodiles that were nearly extinct in the 1970s are now a species of“least concern”,thanks to the invasive pigs they’ve come to feast on.
“People will protest that a species doesn’t belong here.But the word ‘belong’isn’t science;it’s nativism.”Lundgren said.Many of the areas we consider“wilderness”today were ecologic created by native people who pruned (修剪) plants and watched over controlled burns.“We’re changing the planet quickly yet refusing to let the living beings on it change with it.”he said.If we take away the issue of belonging and consciously assign the non-native species a role to play,what we’re left with is a wilder and more diverse world.
28.What do we know about wild horses in North America today
A.Their population grows rapidly.
B.They are native to the continent.
C.Their living spaces are narrowing.
D.They are protected from being killed.
29.How could we use wild horses to control wildfires
A.Leave them undisturbed.
B.Remove them from rang-elands.
C.Promote their reproductive rate.
D.Utilize their grass-eating nature.
30.What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A.The value of non-native animals.
B.The efforts in ecosystem restoration.
C.The need for protecting native species.
D.The importance of preserving biodiversity.
31.What does the last paragraph suggest doing
A.Reducing human impact on nature.
B.Forbidding invasion of new species.
C.Staying open to non-native animals.
D.Returning animals to native habitats.
D
Ramirez Casta eda, a Colombian biologist, spends her time in the Amazon studying how snakes eat poisonous frogs without getting ill. Although her findings come in many shapes and sizes, she and her colleagues have struggled to get their biological discoveries out to the wider scientific community. With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn’t always possible because of budget or time-and it means that some of her findings were never published.
“It’s not that I’m a bad scientist,” she says. “It’s just because of the language.”
Casta eda is not alone. There is plenty of research in non-English-language papers that gets lost in translation, or is never translated. A research looked through more than 400, 000 peer-reviewed papers in 16 different languages and found 1, 234 studies providing evidence on biodiversity conservation which, because they weren’t in English, may have been overlooked. These included Japanese-language findings on the effectiveness of relocating the endangered Blakiston’s fish owl, the largest owl species.
Some experts argue that for the sake of the bigger picture, scientific knowledge should converge (转换) into one common language. Science is very globalised and becoming more so, so the use of a global language is enormous for that.
Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator-but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence. The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castafieda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon.
“So we’re losing observations for science, too, ” says Casta eda. “For me, it’s not possible to just have everything translated into English. We need multilingual (多语种的) science, and we need people that feel comfortable doing science in their own languages. It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century.”
32.What prevented Casta eda’s discoveries from being more widely known
A.Poor management. B.Opposition from her colleagues.
C.Her bad reputation. D.The language barrier.
33.What’s the consequence of the dominant focus on English in scientific research
A.Inefficient wildlife conservation.
B.A knowledge gap in the scientific world.
C.A growing interest in non-English papers.
D.Inadequate job opportunities for translators.
34.What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning forest snakes and frogs
A.The urgency to protect rare species.
B.The need to adopt one global language.
C.The challenges in translating scientific texts.
D.The biodiversity on the South American continent.
35.What is presented in the last paragraph of the text
A.A potential solution. B.A theoretical model.
C.A popular belief. D.A global trend.

Hello, 2024. It’s that time of the year again. The start of the new year is a natural time to consider what you may want to do differently, and your goals for the upcoming year. It is a common practice to create New Year’s resolutions, yet are they helpful 36
Reflecting on your behaviors and creating goals that align (使一致) with your values can motivate helpful change. 37 you can experience a sense of meaning and quality of life.
However, people don’t always approach New Year’s resolutions in a helpful way. 38 Do you feel the need to set a goal or make a change based on what someone else would like you to do It can be difficult to implement and maintain a new behavior, even when you genuinely want to do it, let alone when you don’t. Resolutions based on shoulds are not likely to last.
So, if you plan to set a New Year’s resolution, first be honest with yourself about whether the resolution is important and meaningful to you. 39 Have you got an understanding of the value that the resolution is connected to that provides you with a sense of purpose
40 Goals based on unrealistic expectations are unhelpful. If a goal is too large and does not match your current circumstances and resources, success is unlikely, which may fuel self-criticism and make it more challenging to achieve.
Targeting small changes may be more useful than creating one or two large resolutions at the start of the year.
A.It depends.
B.Do you have a clear why
C.Have you got the details yet
D.If your goals are not specific enough,
E.When you clarify what is important and take steps in that direction,
F.Then, be realistic with yourself and create small, specific and doable goals.
G.Resolutions are usually not based on a genuine desire but on a sense of should.

In China, 2024 is the Year of the Dragon, or “loong,” as is known in Chinese. This creature appears on many cultural artifacts 56 (pass) down through Chinese history.
Unlike Western dragons, 57 are often depicted as aggressive, fire-breathing, flying lizards, Chinese loongs 58 (traditional) symbolize strong and favourable powers. In Chinese mythology ( 神 话 ), the loong is credited with ensuring a good harvest. The unique appearance of the Chinese loong distinguishes it 59 its Western counterparts.
For thousands of years, the Chinese have respected the loong, 60 (believe) that they can bring harmony and prosperity. According to Chinese mythology, the Yan Emperor’s mother had seen a loong just before she was pregnant and soon the Yan Emperor 61 (bear). So the Chinese regard the Yan Emperor as their forefather, and they sometimes refer to 62 (they) as “descendants of the loong (龙的传人).”
At a historical site in Liaoning Province, a stone sculpture of a loong was discovered in 1994. 63 (measure) 19.70 meters in length, the sculpture 64 (date) back to more than 7,600 years ago. The idiom “龙年大吉” means “good luck in the year of the loong.” We wish all of 65 happy and lucky Chinese New Year!

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 was a warm Sunday. 16-year-old Stella settled down with a book, enjoying her quiet moment when her friend Bog came over with his 6-year-old sister. “Stella, please! I need you to help to watch Hazel! I have a lecture to attend this afternoon,” Bog begged.
Stella frowned, not thrilled with the idea of babysitting a little girl. However, Bog didn’t offer her any other choice. He dropped Hazel off with Stella and quickly ran away before she could react.
With a heavy sigh, Stella unwillingly turned her attention to Hazel. “Fine, just stay there and don’t cause any trouble,” she grumbled (嘟囔). To her surprise, little Hazel smiled and obediently sat by the table, drawing quietly without making a single noise.
For the next hour, Stella was quietly engaged in reading without being disturbed by Hazel. Gradually, her annoyance disappeared and she got accustomed to the company of Hazel. After a while, Hazel cautiously approached Stella, holding a picture. “Look, it’s you and me,” she said in a low voice. It was a simple drawing of two girls, hand in hand, smiling.
Stella’s heart softened as she looked at the drawing. She felt guilty about treating Hazel impatiently. Setting her book aside, Stella smiled warmly and said, “I love it. Thank you!” Then Stella began to join Hazel to create it together.
Just as they were lost in a world of colors, a sudden phone ringing broke the warm atmosphere. It was a phone call from her friend, reminding her about the long-awaited plan to go skating on the ice rink (溜冰场). Stella’s heart sank because she had forgotten all about it. She was torn between the desire to go skating and her duty to look after Hazel. She was also worried that taking her to skate would prevent her from enjoying gliding (滑) freely on the ice.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As Stella hesitated, Hazel looked up at her with hopeful eyes.

Dear classmates,
As the Minister of the English Club at our school, I am deeply concerned about the issue of high pressure among the senior students, leading them to stay up late studying and consequently experiencing low energy levels and reduced study efficiency during the day.
Firstly, this phenomenon is undoubtedly worrying as it not only affects the students' academic performance but also their overall well-being. It is essential to strike a balance between study and rest to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
I would like to offer some suggestions to address this issue. Firstly, time management is crucial. Adequate rest is fundamental for cognitive function and academic success ,thus students should distribute specific time for studying, relaxation, and sufficient sleep.. Additionally, engaging in physical activities and hobbies can help relieve stress and improve mental well-being.
Lastly, I want to encourage all the students to take care of themselves and not to neglect their health in pursuit of academic excellence. Remember that a healthy mind and body are essential for success.Let's work together to overcome challenges and strive for a balanced and fulfilling high school experience

As Stella hesitated, Hazel looked up at her with hopeful eyes. “Can I come with you ” she asked eagerly. Stella’s heart melted again at the sight of Hazel’s twinkling eyes and she couldn’t bear the thought of disappointing Hazel. “Of course, she said softly with a warm smile. Hazel’s face lit up with sheer delight as she jumped with excitement. Then, they quickly gathered things and headed to the ice rink. Upon arriving, Stella introduced Hazel to her friends, who welcomed her with open arms. They patiently helped Hazel put on skates and encouraged her to follow them onto the ice.
Hazel admiringly watched Stella and her friends gliding on the ice. Then she tentatively stepped onto the ice. Sensing Hazel’s fear, Stella skated closer to help her. With patience and care, she gently guided Hazel how to find balance and glide on the ice, Step by step, they moved forward. Stella’s gentle encouragement and support helped Hazel gain confidence. The initial fear gradually gave way to excitement as Hazel glided more smoothly. Watching it, Stella felt a sense of fulfillment welling up inside her. They had a fantastic time on the ice and gradually formed a bond going beyond being temporary companions.
答案解析
C 篇参考答案:
18.A 19.D 20.A 21.C
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,文章通过控制北美野马数量的方式来告诉我们,对于外来物种要保持开放性的态度,它们也是利于生态修复的。
【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“In the 16th century, European settlers brought domesticated(驯化了的)horses to this continent,and their population multiplied.(16世纪,欧洲殖民者把驯养的马带到了这个大陆,马的数量成倍增加)”和“Today there are more wild horses in the American West than the land can support,and the government has to control their numbers through birth-control vaccines and occasional but controversial killings.(如今,美国西部的野马数量已经超过了土地所能承受的范围,政府不得不通过避孕疫苗和偶尔有争议的杀戮来控制它们的数量)”可知,如今北美野马的数量增长迅速。故选A项。
2. 细节理解题。根据第二段“However,Erick Lundgren,a postdoc at Aarhus University,notes that large plant-eaters play a crucial role in the ecosystem,where grass and shrubs are either consumed by animals or burned.(然而,奥胡斯大学的博士后埃里克·伦德格伦指出,大型食草动物在生态系统中扮演着至关重要的角色,在那里,草和灌木要么被动物吃掉,要么被烧掉)”和“He advocates taking them off the rang-elands(牧场),where they’re hated for competing with cattle for food,and strategically placing them where they can do what they do best and benefit the environment.(他主张把它们从牧场上赶出去,因为在那里它们因与牛争夺食物而受到憎恨,并战略性地把它们安置在它们能做得最好的地方,并有益于环境)”可知,可以利用野马吃草的本性来控制火灾。故选D项。
3. 主旨大意题。第三段第一句话是中心句,“Although conservationists generally prefer native organisms to restore ecosystems,non-native species can fill in the ecological gaps left by extinct animals.(虽然环保主义者普遍认为应该利用本地物种来修复生态,非本地物种可以填补灭绝动物留下的生态空白)”及后文举例可知,本段说明了非本地动物的价值。如果外来物种作用发挥得当,是可以有利于生态修复的。故选A项。
4. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Many of the areas we consider“wilderness”today were ecologic created by native people who pruned(修剪)plants and watched over controlled burns.“We’re changing the planet quickly yet refusing to let the living beings on it change with it.”he said.If we take away the issue of belonging and consciously assign the non-native species a role to play,what we’re left with is a wilder and more diverse world.(许多我们今天认为的“荒野”地区都是由当地人修剪植物和监督控制燃烧的生态创造的。“我们正在迅速改变地球,却拒绝让地球上的生物跟着改变。”他说。如果我们抛开归属的问题,有意识地给非本地物种分配一个角色,我们剩下的是一个更狂野、更多样化的世界)”可知,文章最后一段告诉我们对于外来物种要保持开放性的态度,不能一概否定。故选C项。
D篇参考答案:
1.D 2.B 3.C 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章以一位哥伦比亚生物学家遭遇的语言问题为例,揭示了目前有很多非英文论文无法被翻译。对此,一些专家主张科学知识应当转换为一个共同的语言——英语。但作者对此并不认同。作者认为这会导致国际影响力的不平等,并且有些专业术语很难被英语翻译。因此,作者希望建立一个多语种的科学世界。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段“Ramirez Casta eda, a Colombian biologist, spends her time in the Amazon studying how snakes eat poisonous frogs without getting ill. Although her findings come in many shapes and sizes, she and her colleagues have struggled to get their biological discoveries out to the wider scientific community. With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn’t always possible because of budget or time-and it means that some of her findings were never published.(Ramirez Casta eda是哥伦比亚的一位生物学家,她花时间在亚马逊研究蛇如何吃掉有毒的青蛙而不生病。尽管她的发现有多种形式和大小,但她和她的同事们一直在努力将他们的生物学发现推广到更广泛的科学界。由于她的母语是西班牙语,她的研究必须翻译成英语才能发表。由于预算或时间的原因,这并不总是可能的,这意味着她的一些发现从未发表过)”可知,语言障碍阻止了Casta eda的发现被更广泛地了解。故选D项。
2.细节理解题,根据第五段“Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator-but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence. The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castafieda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon.(当然,科学家可以与英国伙伴合作,或者使用翻译,但这最终会加强对全球北方的依赖循环,导致国际影响力的不平等。单词的特定含义也会给翻译带来问题。例如,在Castafieda对亚马逊土著社区所做的工作中,很难用英语找到一个词来描述森林中的蛇和青蛙)”可知,科学研究中以英语为主导的结果是产生知识鸿沟。故选B项。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段“For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castafieda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon.(例如,在Castafieda对亚马逊土著社区所做的工作中,很难用英语找到一个词来描述森林中的蛇和青蛙)”可知,作者以该词为例,旨在说明翻译一些科学研究中的文本存在挑战。故选C项。
4.主旨大意题。根据最后一段““So we’re losing observations for science, too, ” says Casta eda. “For me, it’s not possible to just have everything translated into English. We need multilingual (多语种的) science, and we need people that feel comfortable doing science in their own languages. It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century.”(“所以我们也在失去科学观测,”Casta eda说。“对我来说,不可能把所有东西都翻译成英语。我们需要多语言的科学,我们需要人们能够自如地用自己的语言从事科学研究。有可能切换到一个世界,比如汉语、英语和西班牙语是三种科学语言,就像英语、法语和德语是19世纪的科学语言一样。”)”可知,本段主要介绍一个潜在的解决方案。故选A项。

Dear classmates,
I’m greatly honoured to make a short speech today. Recently I have found that many classmates study late into the night. As a result, they often cannot help falling asleep in class during the day. And some classmates even develop a bad eating habit, which will surely do harm to their health.
As is known to all, it’s extremely important for us students to have enough sleep and a proper diet. We must make wise use of our time, and develop a good eating habit. Only in this way can we keep fit and study well. I hope you will develop a great learning habits and make great progress in your study.
Thank you for listening!
As Stella hesitated, Hazel looked up at her with hopeful eyes. “Can I come with you ” she asked eagerly. Stella’s heart melted again at the sight of Hazel’s twinkling eyes and she couldn’t bear the thought of disappointing Hazel. “Of course, she said softly with a warm smile. Hazel’s face lit up with sheer delight as she jumped with excitement. Then, they quickly gathered things and headed to the ice rink. Upon arriving, Stella introduced Hazel to her friends, who welcomed her with open arms. They patiently helped Hazel put on skates and encouraged her to follow them onto the ice.
Hazel admiringly watched Stella and her friends gliding on the ice. Then she tentatively stepped onto the ice. Sensing Hazel’s fear, Stella skated closer to help her. With patience and care, she gently guided Hazel how to find balance and glide on the ice, Step by step, they moved forward. Stella’s gentle encouragement and support helped Hazel gain confidence. The initial fear gradually gave way to excitement as Hazel glided more smoothly. Watching it, Stella felt a sense of fulfillment welling up inside her. They had a fantastic time on the ice and gradually formed a bond going beyond being temporary companions.

①有第一段段首句“在Stella犹豫的时候,Hazel用充满希望的目光抬头看着她。”可知,Hazel非常期待能够和Stella一起去滑冰场,因此本段应描写她请求Stella带她去及两个人之间的互动。结合第二段段首句可以推出,Stella答应了她的请求,两个人一起前往冰场,还可以简单描写下Stella的同学们看到Hazel的反应。
②由第二段段首句“Hazel羡慕地看着Stella和她的朋友们在冰面上滑行。”可知,Hazel已经去了冰场,结合她的年纪和她羡慕地看着别人在冰上滑冰,这一段可以设计Stella教Hazel滑冰的情节,经过一番努力,Hazel最终学会滑冰。冰场上,大家一起享受着滑冰的乐趣,度过了一个偷快的下午。在与Hazel相处的过程中,Stella明白了责任和爱的重要性。
