The Uninhabitable Earth

When Ariel Cordova rode her bike to Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, New York, last November, she planned to go hiking and bird-watching. A mile into her walk, she spotted a beautiful female mute swan near the water’s edge. Cordova, 30, who had worked at the Wild Bird Fund recovery center, knew that mute swans can be aggressive (侵略性的). But as she approached this one, it didn’t move.
She was certain that the bird needed medical attention. Cordova draped (披，悬挂) her jacket over the bird’s head to keep it calm, carefully picked it up, and held it gently in her arms. She was wondering how to transport a 17-pound swan on her bike to the recovery center when, luckily, some confused strangers driving by offered her, her bike, and the swan a lift to a nearby subway station. Cordova called the recovery center on the way, and Tristan, an animal care manager, picked her up at the subway station and drove the bird, the bike, and the rescuer to the facility (场所). There, staff members determined that the swan might have lead (铅) poisoning. Sadly, even with all that tender loving care, the swan got contracted, which caused her passed away two months after being rescued.
It’s a disappointing ending, but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save a swan in the big city. In all, Cordova traveled two hours by foot, car, and subway. “That’s the perfect summary of who she is,” says Tristan.

A. Caring. B. Demanding. C. Professional.
Do you know how to cycle It is a skill that, once learned, is never forgotten. For the majority of us, the art of balancing on two wheels was mastered during our childhood. Many still wear helmets, put feet on the pedals, and take a ride around the streets. And in recent years, cycling has become more and more popular. What attracts people to ride their bikes once again
Cycling offers a lot of advantages that affect both our physical and mental health. For example, regular cycling can improve the function of our cardiovascular (心血管的)system, assist in the burning of extra body fat and strengthen our leg muscles. A long ride in the countryside helps us to clear our mind easily.
Riding a bike is a smart choice for getting to work, shopping, or sightseeing. You can save money that you would otherwise spend on fuels and fares. Unlike cars that struggle with parking, bikes can be easily locked up. Then, on the train, there are chances at stations and other people speaking loudly on their phones. Cyclists face neither of these problems. And if we’re worried about safety, there are cycle lanes in many cities, or we can wear light-colored clothes to improve our safety when cycling on the roads.
Cycling can also be good for the environment. It cuts our carbon footprint, which means we make less pollution. It’s great for our planet and keeps the air clean around us. When we ride bikes, we don’t use fuel like cars do, and that’s really good for our environment.
Therefore, more and more people choose to ride for many benefits such as improving their health, easily going to work, saving money, protecting the environment, or a combination of these factors.
12．When do most people learn to ride
A. In their free time. B. After their retirement.
C. At their young ages. D. During their adulthood.
13．Which of the following best describes cycling
A. It is a good way to save money.
B. It is a great idea to relax cyclists.
C. It is dangerous to cycle on the roads.
D. It is difficult to find a place park the bike.
14．How does cycling affect the environment
A. Consumes more fuels. B. Increases air pollution.
C. Causes fewer accidents. D. Reduces carbon footprint.
15．In which section of a magazine may this text appear
A. Sports & Health. B. Travel & Culture.
C. Science & Technology. D. Animals & Environment.

六、读后续写
34．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，续写词数应为150左右。
Tionae Thomas couldn’t be prouder of her 14-year-old daughter. Plenty of people overlooked a boy sitting alone under a tree in a shopping center parking lot. But not Tionae’s daughter. The 14-year-old girl stepped in to help the stranded(滞留) boy. And the Internet is applauding this girl for her kindness!
Tionae and her daughter were on the way home. But as they passed a shopping center, Tionae’s daughter begged her to pull over. She’d noticed a boy who looked like he was most likely in elementary school. He sat all alone under a tree in a small island within the parking lot.
“It’s too hot, mama,” the girl told her mom.
So, Tionae pulled over and her daughter got out, asking the stranded boy where his parents were. But the boy didn’t know.
The kind girl let the stranded boy use her cell phone to give his dad a call. Then she suggested he move from his spot under the tree to the front of a nearby Rite Aid. She told him it would be safer. At the same time, the girl left him her phone number and told him that he could call her if necessary.
Getting back into the car with her mom, the girl asked to wait to make sure the stranded boy got picked up. She hated the idea of leaving him alone. And because of the warmer temperatures, she wanted to get him some water.
Plenty of others must have noticed the boy. Maybe they left him alone because they didn’t want to disturb or scare him. Maybe they just thought someone else would do something. But Tionae’s daughter was the only one to step in and help.
Para 1:
Two days later, the girl received the boy’s call.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2:
And Tionae couldn’t help but brag(自夸) on her sweet girl, posting the whole story on Facebook.

参考答案
1．答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据Silent Spring下的“Written by Rachel Carson, Silent Spring highlights the effects of pesticides(杀虫剂) on the environment, especially DDT, which was a very popular insecticide until it was finally banned in 1972. The book eventually led to a change in the United States' pesticide policy and contributed to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency.(《寂静的春天》的作者蕾切尔·卡森强调了农药对环境的影响，尤其是DDT，它是一种非常受欢迎的杀虫剂，直到1972年才最终被禁止。这本书最终改变了美国的农药政策，并促成了环境保护署的成立)”可知，《寂静的春天》引起了政府对环境问题的关注。故选A项。
2．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据The Uninhabitable Earth下的“This book by David Wallace Wells examines the disasters that have already occurred and looks ahead to the year 2100 and what climate change will do if we continue on our current path. Its opening line is incredibly telling:“It is worse, much worse, than you think.”(大卫·华莱士·威尔斯的这本书审视了已经发生的灾难，展望了2100年，以及如果我们继续目前的道路，气候变化将会带来什么。它的开场白令人难以置信:“情况比你想象得更糟，糟糕得多。”)”可知，作者在《不宜居住的地球》中说情况比你想象得更糟，表达了他担忧的感受。故选B项。
3．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据The End of Nature下的“Published in 1989, the book describes the relationship between nature and humans. It expresses the idea that nature was previously independent of humans but has now been affected by them in every way. According to author Bill McKibben, the idea of wilderness is lost, and nature is no longer complete.(这本书出版于1989年，描述了自然与人类之间的关系。它表达了这样一种观点:大自然以前是独立于人类的，但现在在各个方面都受到了人类的影响。根据作家比尔·麦基本的说法，荒野的概念已经消失，自然也不再完整)”可知，比尔·麦基本认为人类活动正在破坏自然。故选C项。

6．答案：A
解析：细节题。根据文章倒数第二段第一、二句 Very frustrated, Tom angrily asked him, "Are you mad Why do you put your fish back into the water 可知，Tom 不能理解 Jack 把大鱼放回湖里的行为，所以才生气。故正确答案为A。
7．答案：D
解析：推断题。根据文章第二段第三句 He was so happy and placed the fish in the ice box. 可知， Tom 是个比较有经验的渔夫，把大鱼切成小片，这样 Jack 的锅就可以装得下，这是比较符合逻辑的做法。故D项正确。A项，“让上帝送给他小鱼”。不符合逻辑。故A项错误。B项，“下次让他带一个更大的锅”。根据文章最后一段第一句中 but I don't have the big pan (锅) to cook the big fish 可知，Jack 没有大锅。故B项错误。C项，“更换他的鱼竿来钓小鱼”。更换鱼竿与钓小一点的鱼没有必然关系。故C项错误。故正确答案为D。
8．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“Cordova, 30, who had worked at the Wild Bird Fund recovery center, knew that mute swans can be aggressive (侵略性的).But as she approached this one, it didn't move. (30岁的Cordova曾在野生鸟类基金会恢复中心工作，她知道疣雀天鹅可能很有攻击性。但当她走近这只鸟时，它一动不动)”和第二段中“She was certain that the bird needed medical attention.(她确信这只鸟需要治疗)”可知，原本有攻击性的天鹅不寻常的行为让科尔多瓦认为它需要治疗。故选C项。
9．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“Cordova called the recovery center on the way, and Tristan, an animal care manager, picked her up at the subway station and drove the bird, the bike, and the rescuer to the facility (场所).(Cordova在路上给康复中心打了电话，动物护理经理Tristan在地铁站接她，开车把鸟儿、自行车和救援人员送到康复中心)”可知，最后，一位经理开车接Cordova前往康复中心。故选B项。
10．答案：A
解析：词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“There, staff members determined that the swan might have lead(铅)poisoning. Sadly, even with all that tender loving care (在那里，工作人员确定这只天鹅可能铅中毒。可悲的是，即使有那么温柔的关怀)”和下文“which caused her passed away two months after being rescued(导致她在获救两个月后就去世了)”可知，这只天鹅铅中毒了，受到了关怀，但最终还是去世了。由此推知，是感染导致它去世，画线词意思应该是“感染”，与Infected意思一致。故选A项。
11．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中“Cordova draped (披，悬挂) her jacket over the bird’s head to keep it calm, carefully picked it up, and held it gently in her arms. (Cordova用外套盖住鸟儿的头，让它保持平静，小心翼翼地把它抱起来，轻轻地抱在怀里)”和最后一段中“It’s a disappointing ending, but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save a swan in the big city.

When we ride bikes, we don’t use fuel like cars do, and that’s really good for our environment.(骑车对环境也有好处。它减少了我们的碳足迹,这意味着我们制造了更少的污染。这对我们的星球很好,并保持我们周围的空气清洁。当我们骑自行车时,我们不像汽车那样使用燃料,这对我们的环境真的很好)”可知,骑自行车可以减少我们的碳足迹,从而保护环境。故选D。

③with 考查介词。句意:但是人类被限制在只能用眼睛观察到的六个星球上。用眼睛观察应用介词“with”。故填 with。
④brightness 考查名词。句意:他们可以看星星的大小,颜色和亮度。分析句子可知此处为and连接的三个并列的名词,brightness“亮度”。故填 brightness。
⑤move 考查动词的宾补结构。句意:他们看到星星随着季节的变化而移动。理解句意可知,本空并非表示看着星星正在移动,而是观看移动的整个过程,故用动词原形作宾语补足语。故填move。
⑥until考查连词。句意:直到有了望远镜人类才开始了解月球。理解句意可知,此处应用until引导时间状语从句。故填until。
⑦rings考查名词复数。句意:他并不知道土星周围围绕着土星环。根据常识可知,土星有土星环,而且不止一个,故用名词ring“环行物”的复数形式。故填rings。
⑧so考查连词。句意:人类的视力如此有限以至于看不到所有的星球。根据句意结合空后的形容词limited,可知此处考查结果状语从句:so+adj./adv.+that从句。故填 so。
⑨was考查时态和主谓一致。句意:在光谱仪之前,人类不知道在太阳或其他星球周围是什么样的气体。主句的时态是过去时,而且句子的主语是kind,故用一般过去时was。故填was。
⑩growing考查形容词。句意:今天,天文学是一门正在成长的科学。根据句意可知此处应用形容词作定语修饰science , growing表示“正在成长的”。故填growing。

Two days later, the girl received the boy’s call. He thanked her sincerely for her kindness and explained he had been waiting there for a long time that day and that his parents had been delayed due to a car breakdown, for which his parents felt so sorry. Touched by her kindness, the boy’s parents also called to express their gratitude and admiration for her and her mother.

There, staff members determined that the swan might have lead (铅) poisoning. Sadly, even with all that tender loving care, the swan got contracted, which caused her passed away two months after being rescued.

Do you know how to cycle It is a skill that, once learned, is never forgotten. For the majority of us, the art of balancing on two wheels was mastered during our childhood. Many still wear helmets, put feet on the pedals, and take a ride around the streets. And in recent years, cycling has become more and more popular. What attracts people to ride their bikes once again
Cycling offers a lot of advantages that affect both our physical and mental health. For example, regular cycling can improve the function of our cardiovascular (心血管的)system, assist in the burning of extra body fat and strengthen our leg muscles. A long ride in the countryside helps us to clear our mind easily.
Riding a bike is a smart choice for getting to work, shopping, or sightseeing. You can save money that you would otherwise spend on fuels and fares. Unlike cars that struggle with parking, bikes can be easily locked up. Then, on the train, there are chances at stations and other people speaking loudly on their phones. Cyclists face neither of these problems. And if we’re worried about safety, there are cycle lanes in many cities, or we can wear light-colored clothes to improve our safety when cycling on the roads.
Cycling can also be good for the environment. It cuts our carbon footprint, which means we make less pollution. It’s great for our planet and keeps the air clean around us. When we ride bikes, we don’t use fuel like cars do, and that’s really good for our environment.
Therefore, more and more people choose to ride for many benefits such as improving their health, easily going to work, saving money, protecting the environment, or a combination of these factors.
12．When do most people learn to ride
A. In their free time. B. After their retirement.
C. At their young ages. D. During their adulthood.
13．Which of the following best describes cycling
A. It is a good way to save money.
B. It is a great idea to relax cyclists.
C. It is dangerous to cycle on the roads.
D. It is difficult to find a place park the bike.
14．How does cycling affect the environment
A. Consumes more fuels. B. Increases air pollution.
C. Causes fewer accidents. D. Reduces carbon footprint.
15．In which section of a magazine may this text appear
A. Sports & Health. B. Travel & Culture.
C. Science & Technology. D. Animals & Environment.

六、读后续写
34．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，续写词数应为150左右。
Tionae Thomas couldn’t be prouder of her 14-year-old daughter. Plenty of people overlooked a boy sitting alone under a tree in a shopping center parking lot. But not Tionae’s daughter. The 14-year-old girl stepped in to help the stranded(滞留) boy. And the Internet is applauding this girl for her kindness!
Tionae and her daughter were on the way home. But as they passed a shopping center, Tionae’s daughter begged her to pull over. She’d noticed a boy who looked like he was most likely in elementary school. He sat all alone under a tree in a small island within the parking lot.
“It’s too hot, mama,” the girl told her mom.
So, Tionae pulled over and her daughter got out, asking the stranded boy where his parents were. But the boy didn’t know.
The kind girl let the stranded boy use her cell phone to give his dad a call. Then she suggested he move from his spot under the tree to the front of a nearby Rite Aid. She told him it would be safer. At the same time, the girl left him her phone number and told him that he could call her if necessary.
Getting back into the car with her mom, the girl asked to wait to make sure the stranded boy got picked up. She hated the idea of leaving him alone. And because of the warmer temperatures, she wanted to get him some water.
Plenty of others must have noticed the boy. Maybe they left him alone because they didn’t want to disturb or scare him. Maybe they just thought someone else would do something. But Tionae’s daughter was the only one to step in and help.
Para 1:
Two days later, the girl received the boy’s call.

参考答案
1．答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据Silent Spring下的“Written by Rachel Carson, Silent Spring highlights the effects of pesticides(杀虫剂) on the environment, especially DDT, which was a very popular insecticide until it was finally banned in 1972. The book eventually led to a change in the United States' pesticide policy and contributed to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency.(《寂静的春天》的作者蕾切尔·卡森强调了农药对环境的影响，尤其是DDT，它是一种非常受欢迎的杀虫剂，直到1972年才最终被禁止。这本书最终改变了美国的农药政策，并促成了环境保护署的成立)”可知，《寂静的春天》引起了政府对环境问题的关注。故选A项。
2．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据The Uninhabitable Earth下的“This book by David Wallace Wells examines the disasters that have already occurred and looks ahead to the year 2100 and what climate change will do if we continue on our current path. Its opening line is incredibly telling:“It is worse, much worse, than you think.”(大卫·华莱士·威尔斯的这本书审视了已经发生的灾难，展望了2100年，以及如果我们继续目前的道路，气候变化将会带来什么。它的开场白令人难以置信:“情况比你想象得更糟，糟糕得多。”)”可知，作者在《不宜居住的地球》中说情况比你想象得更糟，表达了他担忧的感受。故选B项。
3．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据The End of Nature下的“Published in 1989, the book describes the relationship between nature and humans. It expresses the idea that nature was previously independent of humans but has now been affected by them in every way. According to author Bill McKibben, the idea of wilderness is lost, and nature is no longer complete.(这本书出版于1989年，描述了自然与人类之间的关系。它表达了这样一种观点:大自然以前是独立于人类的，但现在在各个方面都受到了人类的影响。根据作家比尔·麦基本的说法，荒野的概念已经消失，自然也不再完整)”可知，比尔·麦基本认为人类活动正在破坏自然。故选C项。
4．答案：A
解析：细节题。根据文章第一段最后一句 One day they went out to catch fish together and have a fish meal in the field. 可知，Tom 和 Jack 一起出去捕鱼。故正确答案为A。
5．答案：B
解析：细节题。根据文章第三段第一句 After an hour or so, Tom went to Jack to see if he needed any help. 可知，Tom 想去给 Jack 帮忙。故正确答案为B。
6．答案：A
解析：细节题。根据文章倒数第二段第一、二句 Very frustrated, Tom angrily asked him, "Are you mad Why do you put your fish back into the water 可知，Tom 不能理解 Jack 把大鱼放回湖里的行为，所以才生气。故正确答案为A。
7．答案：D
解析：推断题。根据文章第二段第三句 He was so happy and placed the fish in the ice box. 可知， Tom 是个比较有经验的渔夫，把大鱼切成小片，这样 Jack 的锅就可以装得下，这是比较符合逻辑的做法。故D项正确。A项，“让上帝送给他小鱼”。不符合逻辑。故A项错误。B项，“下次让他带一个更大的锅”。根据文章最后一段第一句中 but I don't have the big pan (锅) to cook the big fish 可知，Jack 没有大锅。故B项错误。C项，“更换他的鱼竿来钓小鱼”。更换鱼竿与钓小一点的鱼没有必然关系。故C项错误。故正确答案为D。
8．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“Cordova, 30, who had worked at the Wild Bird Fund recovery center, knew that mute swans can be aggressive (侵略性的).But as she approached this one, it didn't move. (30岁的Cordova曾在野生鸟类基金会恢复中心工作，她知道疣雀天鹅可能很有攻击性。但当她走近这只鸟时，它一动不动)”和第二段中“She was certain that the bird needed medical attention.(她确信这只鸟需要治疗)”可知，原本有攻击性的天鹅不寻常的行为让科尔多瓦认为它需要治疗。故选C项。
9．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“Cordova called the recovery center on the way, and Tristan, an animal care manager, picked her up at the subway station and drove the bird, the bike, and the rescuer to the facility (场所).(Cordova在路上给康复中心打了电话，动物护理经理Tristan在地铁站接她，开车把鸟儿、自行车和救援人员送到康复中心)”可知，最后，一位经理开车接Cordova前往康复中心。故选B项。
10．答案：A
解析：词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“There, staff members determined that the swan might have lead(铅)poisoning. Sadly, even with all that tender loving care (在那里，工作人员确定这只天鹅可能铅中毒。可悲的是，即使有那么温柔的关怀)”和下文“which caused her passed away two months after being rescued(导致她在获救两个月后就去世了)”可知，这只天鹅铅中毒了，受到了关怀，但最终还是去世了。由此推知，是感染导致它去世，画线词意思应该是“感染”，与Infected意思一致。故选A项。
11．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中“Cordova draped (披，悬挂) her jacket over the bird’s head to keep it calm, carefully picked it up, and held it gently in her arms. (Cordova用外套盖住鸟儿的头，让它保持平静，小心翼翼地把它抱起来，轻轻地抱在怀里)”和最后一段中“It’s a disappointing ending, but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save a swan in the big city. In all, Cordova traveled two hours by foot, car, and subway. (这是一个令人失望的结局，但真实的故事是，在大城市里，一些人为了拯救一只天鹅，愿意走多远。Cordova总共步行、开车和乘地铁走了两个小时)”可知，Cordova非常温柔地对待这只天鹅，总共花了两个小时把它送往康复中心进行医治。由此可知，她是一个有爱心的人。故选A项。
12．答案： C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段“For the majority of us, the art of balancing on two wheels was mastered during our childhood. Many still wear helmets, put feet on the pedals, and take a ride around the streets.(对于我们大多数人来说,在童年时期就掌握了在两个轮子上保持平衡的艺术。许多人仍然戴着头盔,把脚放在踏板上,在街上骑车)”可知,大部分人在年幼时就学习骑自行车。故选C。
13．答案： A
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段“You can save money that you would otherwise spend on fuels and fares.(你可以省下原本要花在燃料和车费上的钱)”可知,骑自行车是一个省钱的好方式。故选A。
14．答案： D
解析：细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Cycling can also be good for the environment. It cuts our carbon footprint, which means we make less pollution. It’s great for our planet and keeps the air clean around us. When we ride bikes, we don’t use fuel like cars do, and that’s really good for our environment.(骑车对环境也有好处。它减少了我们的碳足迹,这意味着我们制造了更少的污染。这对我们的星球很好,并保持我们周围的空气清洁。当我们骑自行车时,我们不像汽车那样使用燃料,这对我们的环境真的很好)”可知,骑自行车可以减少我们的碳足迹,从而保护环境。故选D。
15．答案： A
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Cycling offers a lot of advantages that affect both our physical and mental health.(骑自行车有很多好处,影响我们的身心健康)”及最后一段“Therefore, more and more people choose to ride for many benefits such as improving their health, easily going to work, saving money, protecting the environment, or a combination of these factors.(因此,越来越多的人选择骑车有很多好处,如改善他们的健康,方便上班,省钱,保护环境,或这些因素的组合)”可知,本文讲述了骑自行车运动对于我们的好处,因此,可以在“运动和健康”一部分读到本文。故选A。
16．答案：BFACE
解析：本文是一篇说明文。介绍了通过网络研究复活节的过程，介绍了复活节的意义、日期确定方式及庆祝习俗，将其与春节类比，并强调了兔子与蛋作为新生象征的角色。
①由上文“I entered some key words into a search engine to find information on this topic.(我在搜索引擎中输入了一些关键词来查找有关这个主题的信息。)”并结合下文有关复活节的信息可知，作者将关键词输入搜索引擎来查找关于这个话题的信息，因此B选项“Here is what I found.(这是我找到的信息)”是一个合适的衔接句，表明作者接下来将介绍找到的信息。故选B。
②此空需要回答上文小标题提出的“What is Easter (复活节是什么 )”的问题，而F选项“Easter is an important festival in Western culture.(复活节是西方文化中一个重要的节日)”直接给出了答案，因此F选项是正确答案。故选F。
③下文“Easter does not fall on the same day each year. The date depends on the moon. But it is always in March or April.(每年的复活节不是在同一天。日期取决于月亮。但它总是在三月或四月)”可知这里明显是在询问复活节的日期，所以A选项“When is Easter (复活节是什么时候 )”是合适的。故选A。
④上文“People celebrate Easter with their family and friends.(人们与家人和朋友一起庆祝复活节。)”可知空格处继续提到人们庆祝的方式，而C选项“They eat delicious food together.(他们一起吃美味的食物)”进一步描述了这种庆祝方式，即聚餐，因此C选项是正确答案。故选C。
⑤下文“Children believe that the Easter Bunny comes and hides chocolate eggs for them to find.(孩子们相信复活节兔子会来藏巧克力蛋让他们去找。)”可知这里暗示了兔子和蛋与某种寓意有关。E选项“Rabbits and eggs are symbols of new life.(兔子和蛋是新生命的象征)”正好解释了这一点。故选E。

32．答案：①known②limited③with④brightness⑤move⑥until⑦rings⑧so⑨was⑩growing
解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人类探索太空的历史。
①known 考查过去分词。句意:天文学是人类知道的最古老的科学。the oldest science是know动作的承受者,故用过去分词known 作定语,表示被动。故填 known。
②limited考查被动语态。句意:但是人类被限制在只能用眼睛观察到的六个星球上。根据句意可知此处为被动语态，be limited by“被……所限制”。故填limited。
③with 考查介词。句意:但是人类被限制在只能用眼睛观察到的六个星球上。用眼睛观察应用介词“with”。故填 with。
④brightness 考查名词。句意:他们可以看星星的大小,颜色和亮度。分析句子可知此处为and连接的三个并列的名词,brightness“亮度”。故填 brightness。
⑤move 考查动词的宾补结构。句意:他们看到星星随着季节的变化而移动。理解句意可知,本空并非表示看着星星正在移动,而是观看移动的整个过程,故用动词原形作宾语补足语。故填move。
⑥until考查连词。句意:直到有了望远镜人类才开始了解月球。理解句意可知,此处应用until引导时间状语从句。故填until。
⑦rings考查名词复数。句意:他并不知道土星周围围绕着土星环。根据常识可知,土星有土星环,而且不止一个,故用名词ring“环行物”的复数形式。故填rings。
⑧so考查连词。句意:人类的视力如此有限以至于看不到所有的星球。根据句意结合空后的形容词limited,可知此处考查结果状语从句:so+adj./adv.+that从句。故填 so。
⑨was考查时态和主谓一致。句意:在光谱仪之前,人类不知道在太阳或其他星球周围是什么样的气体。主句的时态是过去时,而且句子的主语是kind,故用一般过去时was。故填was。
⑩growing考查形容词。句意:今天,天文学是一门正在成长的科学。根据句意可知此处应用形容词作定语修饰science , growing表示“正在成长的”。故填growing。

[高分句型2]The Shaanxi History Museum, known as Chinese treasure houses, is a must-go sight that you may look forward to. (“known as Chinese treasure houses”为过去分词做后置定语，修饰主语“The Shaanxi History Museum”;运用了that引导定语从句，先行词为“sight”)
34．答案：
Two days later, the girl received the boy’s call. He thanked her sincerely for her kindness and explained he had been waiting there for a long time that day and that his parents had been delayed due to a car breakdown, for which his parents felt so sorry. Touched by her kindness, the boy’s parents also called to express their gratitude and admiration for her and her mother. They were grateful that she had taken the time to ensure their son’s safety and comfort.
And Tionae couldn’t help but brag(自夸) on her sweet girl, posting the whole story on Facebook. Soon, someone shared the post and it soon went viral. People, including friends, family and even strangers, praised her for her empathy, bravery, and willingness to help a stranger in need. Her selfless acts served as a reminder that small acts of kindness can really make a significant difference to someone’s life. Inspired by her daughter’s actions, Tionae decided to organize events in the community to encourage people to help the needy at any time.
解析：本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Tionae Thomas的女儿帮助了一个被滞留的男孩，有很多人注意到了这个男孩。也许他们让他一个人待着是因为他们不想打扰或吓唬他。也许他们只是觉得别人会做点什么。但Tionae的女儿是唯一一个站出来帮忙的人。男孩的父母及时打来电话表示感谢，而Tionae把事情发布到了网上，女儿得到了大家的称赞。
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“两天后，女孩接到了男孩的电话”可知，第一段可描写男孩的父母打电话感谢。
②由第二段首句内容“而Tionae忍不住要夸耀她可爱的女儿，并把整个故事发到了Facebook上”可知，第二段可描写女儿得到了大家的称赞以及故事带来的感悟。
2.续写线索:接到电话——解释缘由——表示感谢——分享故事得到称赞——感悟
