二、阅读理解(共4小题;每小题5分,满分20分)
Butterflies, a familiar sight around the world, are disappearing now. Over the past four decades, more than 450 butterfly species have been affected by threats from climate change. In the US alone, the monarch butterfly has seen a drop of 80%, from millions of them recorded by scientists in the 1980s to only 29,000 in 2020; in 2017 scientists in Germany raised alarm bells after stressing that insects had decreased by more than 70% in 30 years.
Leading environmental organisations have been working hard to find new ways of tracking butterflies. Now, there is no long-term data available to develop effective strategies in those areas where the threat is particularly widespread. The scientists also wanted to address the big problem that long-term monitoring programmes worldwide have faced for a long time: They are focused on training locals as citizen biologists, which, although successful, requires significant and continued funding.
In Ecuador, however, scientists have taken things one step further. The study was undertaken (开展) to fight against the serious threat of dying out that so many insects—not just butterflies—are facing. They came up with a unique approach. In Yasuni National Park, one of the world's most diverse reserves, they started a monitoring project where park rangers (护林员) were trained and then performed monitoring. The rangers were able to identify sampled butterflies to species with impressive accuracy (准确性)—an 85% success rate—which was key for these monitoring programmes to be successful. The data gathered by the park rangers was so accurate that it did not significantly differ from the data collected by trained biologists in the area.
In comparison to other monitoring projects that employ individuals from the community to act as citizen biologists, which usually terminate when funding is used up, this study represents a long-term solution. Monitoring with a system already in place means that it can continue, regardless of funding.
"Our approach increases the possibility of continued monitoring in the long term by saving money," said the lead author. "What's more, it will provide the possibility for expansion to other highly threatened and important areas for biodiversity(生物多样性) protection." Soon, the researchers hope to expand their efforts to other parks and reserves in Ecuador and other countries.
11.The figures in the US and Germany listed in paragraph 1 intend to _____.
A. show the rich diversity of butterflies
B. describe the sharp fall in butterflies' number
C. stress scientists' great attention to butterflies
D. compare butterfly population decrease in different regions
12.What is monitoring programmes' long-term challenge in butterfly protection
A. The high cost of training staff. B. The wide areas to be monitored.
C. The lack of professional trainers. D. The difficulty of handling existing data.
13.What may be the biggest success of Yasuni National Park's project
A. Attracting biologists' attention.
B. Butterflies' being saved effectively.
C. Rangers' making accurate identification.
D. Spreading technical monitoring methods.
14.What will the researchers do in the future
A. Share their method and experience.
B. Prove long-term effects of their method.
C. Test for their approach's economic benefits.
D. Compare their results with those of other areas.
三、七选五(共5小题;每小题4分,满分20分)
15.Ask most people which day of the week they fear the most and the answer is likely to be Monday. The first day of the working week can make us depressed. ①_________
The most depressing day of the year is the third Monday in January, when it’s cold and dark outside. This day was named “Blue Monday” by psychologist Cliff Arnall. Even if there was little science behind Blue Monday, it’s probably true that the sound of our alarm clock on any Monday morning means the coming of a new working week and possibly the end of our weekend of fun. ②_________It’s what psychologists call an emotional shift, and no other part of the week has a transition(过渡) like it.
Apparently, Monday means the end of weekend lie-ins. ③_________According to a website, “If you can’t stand your job, then the Monday blues can be very real.” And it can be especially difficult to start another seemingly endless workweek. Your case of the Mondays can have a negative impact on your performance, productivity and the people around you.
④_________Feeling a bit low shouldn’t be confused with more serious depression, caused by other factors. Claudia Hammond, an author and presenter, argues that this low feeling might be untrue. ⑤_________She mentions an Australian study of how people reflected on their mood and found the day that scored the lowest was in fact Wednesdays. So, when Monday comes, maybe we should give it a second chance!
A. But is Monday as bad as we like to think it is
B. What exactly makes us feel down remains unknown.
C. Weekends are definitely happy days in all countries.
D. That’s why the feeling is described as the Monday blues.
E. There is a strong cultural idea that we don’t like Mondays.
F. Our Monday mood can be based on a direct comparison to the day before.
G. It’s back to the routine and the realization that there are five days of working ahead.

答案以及解析
一、填空题
1.答案:shocked
解析:句意为:到达那里时,他对那座城市的落后感到震惊。设空处作表语,描述主语he的状态,应用-ed结尾的形容词,表示“震惊的”。故填shocked。
2.答案:concentration
解析:句意为:吵闹声不绝于耳,我很难集中注意力。设空处位于形容词性物主代词my之后,应用名词作keep的宾语,表示“专心;专注”,为不可数名词。
3.答案:was founded
解析:句意为:这家公司成立于1997年,主要从事挖掘机维修。此处作谓语,found与主语 The company之间是被动关系,应用被动语态;由in 1997可知,动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时。主语为单数,谓语应用单数形式。
4.答案:recovery
解析:句意: 在经济复苏的道路上, 我们一定会经历一些波折。此处作介词to的宾语, 应用名词, 故填recovery。
5.答案:reaction
解析:句意: 那些对牛奶过敏的人, 可能会对奶酪有所反应。空前为不定冠词a, 需接名词, 故填reaction。
6.答案:was captured
解析:句意: 那只巨大的野生动物被当地村民捕获。该句主语和谓语动词是被动关系, 故用被动语态, 根据语境可知用一般过去时, 故填was captured。
7.答案:to emerge
解析:句意: 科学与技术的进步使得网络教学出现了。allow sb./sth. to do sth.允许......做某事, 故填to emerge。
8.答案:to use
解析:提示:句意:使用俚语的另一个理由是它们简短明了。动词不定式短语做后置定语,修饰前面的名词 reason。
9.答案:preparations
解析:提示:make preparations 是固定短语,意思是"做准备"。
10.答案:were kept
解析:提示:主语 sheep, cows and pigs 与动词 keep之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用被动语态;根据时间状语Around 7,000 years ago可知,要用一般过去时; 主语是复数名词,所以答案是were kept。
二、阅读理解
11.答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的In the US alone, the monarch butterfly has seen a drop of 80%... had decreased by more than 70% in 30 years.并结合本段第一句话可推知,本段列出的美国和德国的数字旨在描述蝴蝶数量的急剧下降。故选B项。
12.答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的The scientists also wanted to address the big problem...requires significant and continued funding.可知,监测项目在蝴蝶保护方面的长期挑战是需要大量和持续的资金将当地人培训成生物学家,即员工培训的成本很高。故选A项。
13.答案:C

三、七选五
答案:①-⑤DFGAE
解析:①推理判断题。根据上文The first day of the working week can make us depressed.(工作周的第一天会让我们感到沮丧)可知,工作周的第一天会让人感到沮丧,分析选项,D项"这就是为什么这种感觉被称为'星期一忧郁症'"符合语境,与上文存在因果关系。故选D。
②推理判断题。下文It’s what psychologists call an emotional shift, and no other part of the week has a transition(过渡) like it.(这就是心理学家所说的情绪转变,一周中没有其他时间有这样的转变)提到情绪转变,所以空处应是提及星期一和前一天的情绪,F项"我们星期一的心情可以建立在与前一天的直接比较之上"符合语境。故选F。
③推理判断题。根据上文Apparently,Monday means the end of weekend lie-ins.(显然,周一意味着周末睡懒觉的结束)可知,此处是描述星期一意味着什么,G项"回到日常生活中,意识到还有五天的工作要做"与上文意义一致,星期一意味着周末睡懒觉的结束,意味着开始回归一周的工作,故选G。
④段落大意题。根据下文Feeling a bit low shouldn’t be confused with more serious depression, caused by other factors. Claudia Hammond, an author and presenter, argues that this low feeling might be untrue.(感觉有点低落不应该与更严重的抑郁症相混淆,后者是由其他因素引起的。作家兼主持人Claudia Hammond认为,这种低沉的感觉可能是不真实的)可知,情绪低落不等同于抑郁,这种感觉可能是不真实的,所以星期一忧郁症不像我们想象的那样糟糕,A项"但是,星期一真的像我们想象的那么糟糕吗?"符合语境。故选A。
⑤推理判断题。根据下文She mentions an Australian study of how people reflected on their mood and found the day that scored the lowest was in fact Wednesdays. So, when Monday comes, maybe we should give it a second chance!(她提到了一项关于人们如何反思自己情绪的澳大利亚研究,发现得分最低的日子实际上是星期三。所以,当星期一到来的时候,也许我们应该再给它一次机会)可知,一项研究发现人们情绪最低落的时间是星期三,所以我们应该再给星期一一次机会,由此可推知,空处应是提及人们不喜欢星期一,所以下文才说再给星期一一次机会,E项"有一种强烈的文化观念认为我们不喜欢星期一"符合语境,故选E。
四、书面表达
答案:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I'm a student from Chongqing, China. I'm writing to keep you informed of the severe situation that finless porpoises are faced with presently.
It's because of human activities that finless porpoises are endangered. There are merely less than 1,000 finless porpoises living in China. Thus, it's high time that immediate measures should be taken. If possible, I hope you can fund our project aimed at protecting finless porpoises so that more finless porpoises will survive. I would appreciate it greatly if you could consider my suggestion.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,

二、阅读理解(共4小题;每小题5分,满分20分)
As seabird biologist Bonnie Slaton slides off a small boat and walks through waist-high water, the brown pelicans (鹈鹕) spread their wings overhead until she reaches Raccoon Island. The narrow island is a small piece of land separating the American state of Louisiana from the Gulf of Mexico. During the seabird breeding (繁殖) season, the place, one of the few remaining places of safety for the pelicans, is full of noise.
Twelve years ago, there were 15 low-lying islands with breeding areas for Louisiana's state bird. However, today, only about six islands in southeastern Louisiana have brown pelican nests and the rest have disappeared underwater. Slaton and other scientists set up cameras to observe pelican nests on the island. The cameras show that in recent years the pelicans have faced some natural disasters. The main killer of them is flooding, which can wash away all the nests, as happened in April 2021.
The disappearing islands are the location of a story of successful conservation. For many years, scientists have worked to bring the pelicans back from totally dying off. Mike Carloss is a state wildlife biologist in Louisiana. He said he never saw brown pelicans as a child in the 1960s. Their populations had been killed by the use of DDT, a kind of farm chemical. It thinned eggshells and prevented pelicans from giving birth to young birds. The beloved birds were completely gone from Louisiana, only appearing on the state flag. But along-running effort to save them led to the birds' return. After DDT was stopped in the US in 1972, biologists brought young pelicans from nearby Florida to let them inhabit empty islands across the Gulf of Mexico again. More than 1,200 pelicans have been set free in southeastern Louisiana over 13 years.
The brown pelicans can live more than 20 years. So, the final effect of disappearing breeding areas is uncertain and it will still take time to become clear. And the future for pelicans is uncertain on the islands.
11.What is a killer of brown pelicans
A. The island movement. B. The underwater noise.
C. The increase of human population. D. The disappearance of breeding areas.
12.Why did the scientists set up cameras
A. To stop illegal hunting. B. To watch pelicans' home.
C. To predict serious flooding. D. To record the number of pelicans.
13.What does the underlined word "inhabit" in paragraph 3 mean
A. Live on. B. Focus on. C. Break into. D. Look into.
14.How does the author feel about the pelicans' future
A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Curious. D. Proud.
三、七选五(共5小题;每小题4分,满分20分)
Thanks to Earth, we have fresh air to breathe, clean water to drink and warm sunshine to enjoy. But it seems that we may have taken these things for granted and not realised that our planet is getting “sick”. ①_____ More than 15,000 researchers around the world have written a letter to warn about environmental threats.
Among those environmental challenges, global warning sits at the top. Global average temperatures have risen by more than 0.5°C since 1992. ②_____ It means that heat waves would last around a third longer and rainstorms would be about a third more intense (猛烈的) if we take no action. The increase in sea levels would also be much higher. Countries like Singapore and Japan that are at low altitudes may be covered by the ocean in the future.
③_____ It's getting harder to get fresh water. Ocean pollution has become serious. Since 1992, the human population has grown by 2 billion, while the populations of all other animals have dropped by nearly 30 percent.
Scientists say that we are experiencing the sixth mass extinction in history. More than two-thirds of the world's wildlife could be gone by the end of the decade if action isn't taken soon. ④_____
However, we have made some progress. That's because we gradually stopped using chemicals that can break down ozone, a gas that protects Earth. ⑤_____
A. The change is a big deal.
B. Now, scientists have given us a warning.
C. But this is not the only problem people are facing.
D. We can make a bigger difference when we act right now.
E. Scientists also conclude that global warming will continue for centuries.
F. Some rare animals, like black rhinos, might just appear in pictures soon.
G. All the countries in the world should take action on behalf of future generations.

14.答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的So, the final effect of disappearing breeding areas is uncertain and it will still take time to become clear. And the future for pelicans is uncertain on the islands.可知,栖息地的消失带来的最终影响是不确定的,还需要长期的观察,而这些被重新带回岛上的褐鹈鹕在未来的状况也是未知的,由此可推知,作者认为情况是不确定的,故作者对鹈鹕的未来持怀疑态度。故选B项。
三、七选五
答案:BACFD
解析:①设空处前 But it seems that we may have taken these things for granted and not realised that our planet is getting “sick”.提到我们没有意识到地球正在“生病”,设空处后More than15,000 researchers around the world have written a letter to warn about environmental threats.指出研究人员联名致信,就环境威胁发出警告,结合选项可知,B项(现在科学家已经向我们发出警告)承上启下,选项中的 warning与后文的warn 相呼应。
②根据设空处前Global average temperatures have risen by more than 0.5℃ since 1992.可知,此处强调的是全球平均气温的变化。再根据下文及其中关键词longer、 more intense、much higher 表明的一系列严重后果可知,A项(这种变化是一件大 事)承接上文,其中的The change与前文的“气温变化”相呼应,同时引起下文内容,符合语境。
③根据前文的Countries like Singapore and Japan that are at low altitudes may be covered by the ocean in the future.以及空后的 It's getting harder to get fresh water. Ocean pollution has become serious.可知,此处讲述了人类面临的另一个环境挑战,即海洋污染变得严重,淡水越来越难以获得。设空处位于段首,C项(但这并不是人们面临的唯一问题)符合语境,引出了下文内容。
④根据前文的More than two-thirds of the world's wildlife could be gone by the end of the decade if action isn't taken soon.可知,如果不尽快采取行动,全球超过三分之二的野生动物可能会消失。F项(一些稀有动物,如黑犀牛,很快可能只会在照片中出现)承接前文,说明黑犀牛可能会受到环境影响,即将消失,might just appear in pictures呼应上文中的extinction和could be gone。
⑤根据前文However, we have made some progress. That’s because we gradually stopped using chemicals that can breakdown ozone, a gas that protects Earth.可知,人类在环境保护方面已经取得了一些进展。D项(如果我们立刻采取行动,我们就能产生更大的影响)承接前文,表明如果人类现在采取行动,就能产生更多积极的影响。
四、书面表达
答案:
A Week in the Wild
This winter holiday, I, together with 30 other students, went to Yunnan and took part in the Wildlife Protection Winter Camp held by WWF.
We spent one week in the wild learning about endangered animals from wildlife professionals. We observed how different species of monkeys adapted themselves to their natural habitats. What's more, to help protect them, various activities were organized, such as picking up plastics, removing nets and traps and putting up posters.
The camp deepened our understanding of the wildlife protection. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we enjoy a better future together.
