A fisherman from Portland, Maine, the US, caught a very rare bright blue lobster (龙虾) off the coast of Maine but chose to set it free back into the ocean. The photo of the blue lobster was shared by tech enterpriser Lars-Johan Larsson. “This blue lobster was caught off the coast of Portland yesterday and returned to the water to continue to grow. Blue lobsters are one in two million,” he wrote.
While the shells of lobsters are generally red or brown in color, the blue shell is a result of gene mutation (基因突变), which causes the lobster to produce more of a particular protein than other lobsters, leading to the rare blue color, as reported by the Toronto Sun.
Yellow, orange and crystal-colored lobsters are considered even rarer than bright blue ones. According to the Lobster Institute, yellow lobsters account for about one in 30 million of the total population. Two fishermen in Dorset caught a crystal-colored lobster in 2011.
“Whatever the odds of catching different-colored lobsters, there’s no denying that bright blue ones are truly beautiful creatures,” said Rob Bayer, executive director of the University of Maine Lobster Institute. “They might not be the most unusual, but they’re undoubtedly the best to look at.”
It’s become something of a trend for restaurants to spare blue lobsters. Austin Hopley, a chef at “The Hare” in Rochdale, the UK, made the news for sparing a bright blue lobster. He gave it to Sea Life in Manchester, as reported by the BBC.
“Now it’s there for people to enjoy,” said Hopley. “I felt responsible. Something so rare didn’t require a place on the menu. Every species deserves a fair chance at survival.”
Expert Brendan Malone from Sea Life said, “It is certainly an extraordinary find and worth saving to try to educate the public about these amazing creatures in the ecosystem.”
14. What is the root cause for the color of blue lobsters
A. Gene variation. B. Adaptation failure.
C. A specific protein. D. A mix of red and brown.
15. What does Rob Bayer think of blue lobsters
A. They are the rarest. B. They are easy to catch.
C. They are delicious to eat. D. They are most beautiful.
16. Why was Hopley unwilling to cook the blue lobster
A. It wouldn’t make a good dish.
B. He wanted to follow the trend.
C. He took on responsibility to save it.
D. It would bring him fame and profits.
17. Which can serve as the best title
A. Blue Lobsters Rebound Suddenly
B. Chefs Take Action to Protect Lobsters
C. Gene Mutation Has an Effect on Lobsters
D. Man Catches a “One in Two Million” Blue Lobster
C
How do we make traditional Chinese culture alive and popular again among young people Livestreaming (直播) has made it. It is not only fun, but has also provided a new stage for traditional culture artists.
On video websites and apps such as Douyin and Bilili, many traditional artists are trying livestreaming for the first time. Some of them sing Peking Opera, some show their hand-made art pieces, while others perform classical music.
Li, 59 years old, is a laosheng(old male role) Peking Opera performer who started livestreaming this year. Unlike performing on a formal (正式的) stage, Li uses everyday places as his stage, including his backyard, study room, and even a sofa. Besides singing, Li also teaches viewers about Peking Opera in a funny way. People can ask him questions and get answers directly. “Livestreaming has brought this great art down to earth,” one viewer said. “It allows young people to know this traditional art and learn more about it in an easier way.”
Other kinds of artists also see livestreaming as a new opportunity. On March 26, the third China Huafu Day, Bilibili livestreamed a fashion show. Performers showed beautiful clothes in traditional Chinese styles , including those from Wei, Tang and Ming dynasties. During the show, viewers enjoyed the clothes and watched how performers used ancient styles of make-up. For example, one blogger taught people how to draw the guiye eyebrow (桂叶眉), which was a typical make-up style during Tang Dynasty.
There is no doubt that livestreaming has created a new channel through which traditional culture can be kept alive.
18. We can guess from Paragraph 3 that Li, as a teacher, is ________.
A. Strict B. lazy C. humorous D. scary
19. The writer talks about Li in order to ________.
A. help make Douyin and Bilibili more popular
B. teach where and how to perform Peking Opera
C. encourage young people to perform art at home
D. show traditional artists are using livestreaming
20. In history, the guiye eyebrow can be seen in ________ Dynasty.
A. Wei B. Tang C. Ming D. Qing
21. According to the passage, livestreaming is ________.
A. a TV show to introduce traditional clothes from different dynasties
B. a way to bring traditional culture back to life by sharing online videos
C. a program to give students many traditional Chinese cultural lessons
D. a stage to give performers a chance to take photos of their everyday life
D
Monarch butterflies (帝王蝶) are edging dangerously close to extinction despite a decision late last year to remove the orange-and-black insects from the endangered species list, a new study has found.
An annual survey led by the World Wildlife Fund(WWF)of the species wintering in central Mexico found the second-lowest number of monarch butterflies on record, meaning they took up just 2.2 acres of regional forests, 59% less than during the 2022 — 2023 winter season. The findings are troubling to scientists determined to protect the species.
Each year, monarch butterflies migrate (迁徙) thousands of miles from southern Canada and the northern and central US to the mountain forests of central Mexico. They require a large and healthy forest to protect them from winds, rain and low temperatures in the areas where they migrate for winter. Yet because of heat and drought brought on by climate change, scientists say, their natural habitat is quickly depleting. Scientists with the WWF considered this winter season’s findings serious and said they represented the second-smallest area taken up by monarch butterflies in Mexico since 1993.
What’s worse, in recent years, their breeding areas in Canada and the US have seen a reduction in milkweed leaves where female monarch butterflies lay their eggs. “Land-use changes in the United States, combined with the widespread use of chemicals, also contributed to the loss of milkweed and other plants that adult monarch butterflies feed on,” the WWF said.
Monarch butterflies play an important role in maintaining plant ecosystems and are also an important food source for birds, small animals and other insects, according to the National Park Service. It’s necessary that all governments, communities, scientists, and others continue to strengthen our protection efforts to support their unique migration.
22. Why do monarch butterflies fly to central Mexico each year
A. To spend winter. B. To lay eggs.
C. To search for shelter. D. To escape from enemies.
23. What does the underlined word “depleting” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Shifting. B. Disappearing. C. Recovering. D. Increasing.
24. What may have nothing to do with the reduction in monarch butterflies’ number
A. The loss of food sources.
B. The widespread use of chemicals.
C. The land-use changes in the United States.
D. The threat of being eaten by other animals.
25. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To raise people’s awareness about climate change.
B. To call for more measures to protect monarch butterflies.
C. To inform people of the serious situation of monarch butterflies.
D. To prove monarch butterflies should be on the endangered species list.

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右。

A. not treated B. not being treated
C. being not treated D. not having been treated
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：有一些健康问题，当不被及时治疗时，以后可能会成为大问题。设空处为非谓语动词，根据句子结构可知，动词treat“治疗”和逻辑主语health problems之间是被动关系，而且是指普遍性情况，所以应用过去分词作状语。故选A。

A. which B. who C. where D. when

A fisherman from Portland, Maine, the US, caught a very rare bright blue lobster (龙虾) off the coast of Maine but chose to set it free back into the ocean. The photo of the blue lobster was shared by tech enterpriser Lars-Johan Larsson. “This blue lobster was caught off the coast of Portland yesterday and returned to the water to continue to grow. Blue lobsters are one in two million,” he wrote.
While the shells of lobsters are generally red or brown in color, the blue shell is a result of gene mutation (基因突变), which causes the lobster to produce more of a particular protein than other lobsters, leading to the rare blue color, as reported by the Toronto Sun.
Yellow, orange and crystal-colored lobsters are considered even rarer than bright blue ones. According to the Lobster Institute, yellow lobsters account for about one in 30 million of the total population. Two fishermen in Dorset caught a crystal-colored lobster in 2011.
“Whatever the odds of catching different-colored lobsters, there’s no denying that bright blue ones are truly beautiful creatures,” said Rob Bayer, executive director of the University of Maine Lobster Institute. “They might not be the most unusual, but they’re undoubtedly the best to look at.”
It’s become something of a trend for restaurants to spare blue lobsters. Austin Hopley, a chef at “The Hare” in Rochdale, the UK, made the news for sparing a bright blue lobster. He gave it to Sea Life in Manchester, as reported by the BBC.
“Now it’s there for people to enjoy,” said Hopley. “I felt responsible. Something so rare didn’t require a place on the menu. Every species deserves a fair chance at survival.”
Expert Brendan Malone from Sea Life said, “It is certainly an extraordinary find and worth saving to try to educate the public about these amazing creatures in the ecosystem.”
14. What is the root cause for the color of blue lobsters
A. Gene variation. B. Adaptation failure.
C. A specific protein. D. A mix of red and brown.
15. What does Rob Bayer think of blue lobsters
A. They are the rarest. B. They are easy to catch.
C. They are delicious to eat. D. They are most beautiful.
16. Why was Hopley unwilling to cook the blue lobster
A. It wouldn’t make a good dish.
B. He wanted to follow the trend.
C. He took on responsibility to save it.
D. It would bring him fame and profits.
17. Which can serve as the best title
A. Blue Lobsters Rebound Suddenly
B. Chefs Take Action to Protect Lobsters
C. Gene Mutation Has an Effect on Lobsters
D. Man Catches a “One in Two Million” Blue Lobster
【答案】14. A 15. D 16. C 17. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。一位来自美国缅因州波特兰市的渔民在缅因州海岸捕获了一只非常罕见的蓝龙虾，但他选择将其放回大海。

【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““Whatever the odds of catching different-colored lobsters, there’s no denying that bright blue ones are truly beautiful creatures,” said Rob Bayer, executive director of the University of Maine Lobster Institute. “They might not be the most unusual, but they’re undoubtedly the best to look at.”(缅因大学龙虾研究所的执行主任Rob Bayer说：“无论捕获不同颜色龙虾的几率有多大，不可否认的是，明亮的蓝色龙虾确实是美丽的生物。”“它们可能不是最不寻常的，但它们无疑是最好看的。”)”可知，Rob Bayer认为蓝龙虾是最美丽的。故选D选项。
【16题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段““Now it’s there for people to enjoy,” said Hopley. “I felt responsible. Something so rare didn’t require a place on the menu. Every species deserves a fair chance at survival.”(“现在人们可以欣赏它了，”霍普利说。“我觉得自己有责任。这么稀有的东西根本不需要出现在菜单上。每个物种都应该有公平的生存机会。”)”可知，霍普利不愿意烹饪这种蓝龙虾的原因是他承担起了拯救它的责任。故选C项。
【17题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A fisherman from Portland, Maine, the US, caught a very rare bright blue lobster (龙虾) off the coast of Maine but chose to set it free back into the ocean. The photo of the blue lobster was shared by tech enterpriser Lars-Johan Larsson. “This blue lobster was caught off the coast of Portland yesterday and returned to the water to continue to grow.

How do we make traditional Chinese culture alive and popular again among young people Livestreaming (直播) has made it. It is not only fun, but has also provided a new stage for traditional culture artists.
On video websites and apps such as Douyin and Bilili, many traditional artists are trying livestreaming for the first time. Some of them sing Peking Opera, some show their hand-made art pieces, while others perform classical music.

Performers showed beautiful clothes in traditional Chinese styles , including those from Wei, Tang and Ming dynasties. During the show, viewers enjoyed the clothes and watched how performers used ancient styles of make-up. For example, one blogger taught people how to draw the guiye eyebrow (桂叶眉), which was a typical make-up style during Tang Dynasty.
There is no doubt that livestreaming has created a new channel through which traditional culture can be kept alive.

Monarch butterflies (帝王蝶) are edging dangerously close to extinction despite a decision late last year to remove the orange-and-black insects from the endangered species list, a new study has found.
An annual survey led by the World Wildlife Fund(WWF)of the species wintering in central Mexico found the second-lowest number of monarch butterflies on record, meaning they took up just 2.2 acres of regional forests, 59% less than during the 2022 — 2023 winter season. The findings are troubling to scientists determined to protect the species.
Each year, monarch butterflies migrate (迁徙) thousands of miles from southern Canada and the northern and central US to the mountain forests of central Mexico. They require a large and healthy forest to protect them from winds, rain and low temperatures in the areas where they migrate for winter. Yet because of heat and drought brought on by climate change, scientists say, their natural habitat is quickly depleting. Scientists with the WWF considered this winter season’s findings serious and said they represented the second-smallest area taken up by monarch butterflies in Mexico since 1993.
What’s worse, in recent years, their breeding areas in Canada and the US have seen a reduction in milkweed leaves where female monarch butterflies lay their eggs. “Land-use changes in the United States, combined with the widespread use of chemicals, also contributed to the loss of milkweed and other plants that adult monarch butterflies feed on,” the WWF said.
Monarch butterflies play an important role in maintaining plant ecosystems and are also an important food source for birds, small animals and other insects, according to the National Park Service. It’s necessary that all governments, communities, scientists, and others continue to strengthen our protection efforts to support their unique migration.
22. Why do monarch butterflies fly to central Mexico each year
A. To spend winter. B. To lay eggs.
C. To search for shelter. D. To escape from enemies.
23. What does the underlined word “depleting” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Shifting. B. Disappearing. C. Recovering. D. Increasing.
24. What may have nothing to do with the reduction in monarch butterflies’ number
A. The loss of food sources.
B. The widespread use of chemicals.
C. The land-use changes in the United States.
D. The threat of being eaten by other animals.
25. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To raise people’s awareness about climate change.
B. To call for more measures to protect monarch butterflies.
C. To inform people of the serious situation of monarch butterflies.
D. To prove monarch butterflies should be on the endangered species list.
【答案】22. A 23. B 24. D 25. B

They require a large and healthy forest to protect them from winds, rain and low temperatures in the areas where they migrate for winter. (每年，帝王蝶从加拿大南部和美国北部和中部迁徙数千英里到墨西哥中部的山区森林。它们需要大片健康的森林来保护它们免受冬季迁徙地区的风、雨和低温的影响。)”可知，帝王蝶需要森林的保护来过冬，结合划线句“Yet because of heat and drought brought on by climate change, scientists say, their natural habitat is quickly depleting. (然而，由于气候变化带来的炎热和干旱，科学家们说，它们的自然栖息地正在迅速depleting。)”可推断，自然栖息地因为炎热和干旱正在迅速消失，故选B。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“What’s worse, in recent years, their breeding areas in Canada and the US have seen a reduction in milkweed leaves where female monarch butterflies lay their eggs. “Land-use changes in the United States, combined with the widespread use of chemicals, also contributed to the loss of milkweed and other plants that adult monarch butterflies feed on,” the WWF said. (更糟糕的是，近年来，它们在加拿大和美国的繁殖区，雌性帝王蝶产卵的马利筋叶子减少了。世界自然基金会说：“美国土地利用的变化，加上化学品的广泛使用，也导致了乳草和其他成年帝王蝶赖以为生的植物的减少。”)”可知，被动物吃掉的威胁不是帝王蝶数量下降的原因。故选D。

【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意：继淄博和哈尔滨之后，位于中国西北部甘肃省的丝绸之路古城天水成为了又一个因麻辣烫而风靡全国的地方。可数名词单数短语ancient Silk Road city是泛指概念，用不定冠词限定，作同位语。空后词ancient起始音为元音，故填an。
【57题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：天水麻辣烫是用肉、蔬菜和面条等原料在一锅沸腾的汤汁中烹制而成的。动词make和主语之间是被动关系，此处描述客观事实，用一般现在时的被动语态。主谓一致，故填is made。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然后把它们倒进一个大钢盆里，淋上大蒜酱，撒上天水花椒和花生碎，刷上鲜红的辣椒油，再用香菜和葱上色。主语they与动词brush之间是被动关系，故用其过去分词，与 drizzled、sprinkled、colored并列。故填brushed。

【62题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：入口灼烧，入胃爽滑。本句描述客观事实，用一般现在时。主语为It，主谓一致，故填burns。
【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意：天水不仅有美味的麻辣火锅，还有其独特的地域文化。修饰名词culture应用形容词。故填regional。
【64题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：它的石窟和壁画是甘肃最著名的艺术形式之一。根据介词among可知，此处应用名词复数作宾语。故填forms。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：麦积山石窟拥有221个洞穴和1000多平方米的古代壁画，以其令人印象深刻的美丽而闻名。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为The Maijishan Grottoes，指代事物，在从句中作主语，用关系代词which引导。故填which。

They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
