When Hurricane Ian hit Florida， Karen Lauder refused to leave her home because she was wrong about the intensity （强度） of the storm.Karen is 84 years old and depends on a wheelchair to get around because she is missing a leg.Her son， Johnny Lauder， tried repeatedly to get her to leave， but she refused.
Johnny and his whole family live within a few blocks of one another.They kept in touch with Karen as the storm continued violently outside， watching the water rising dangerously all around them.When Karen reported that the water in her house had reached her bottom， Johnny knew he had to take action.
First， Johnny ensured his sons and their pets were taken care of.Then， he jumped out of a window and began to swim.Johnny used to work as a rescue swimmer.He is obviously a strong swimmer， but the flood water was filled with dangerous materials.There was also a strong current， and he had to swim against it for most of his trip to Karen’s.As he made his way through the water， Johnny stopped periodically to snap selfies （拍自拍） to show his worried family that he was okay.
Johnny was racing against the clock.He knew he only had a short period of time to get there before the water rose above Karen’s head.It took him 40 minutes to swim four blocks.The sound of Karen’s shouting inside was music to his ears！
“If it would’ve been 20 minutes later， she wouldn’t be here，” Johnny said.“She’s never been happier to see me.”
Karen is now safe， although she is in the hospital being treated for infections （感染） she got in the water.The family have all lost everything they owned， including their houses， but they’re grateful just to be here.

Great efforts have been made to close the gender （性别） pay gap.But not all fields of work are created equal.
Alexandra Light， who has been doing ballet since she was two years old， says even the dance world is dominated （主宰） by men at the top.“A lot of people on the outside of the dance world still don’t realize，” she said， “in the industry， it’s still very much a boys’ game.”
Tracey Rockett， who teaches management practice at Texas Christian University， says she can point to any number of studies that show the wide gulf （鸿沟） between women and management.That gulf persists even in fields dominated by women.
“In public schools， for example， men are in the minority， but to keep them， very often， they will be offered promotion opportunities much earlier than women are，” Rockett said.“You see that in the restaurant industry， in education， in healthcare， and in dance.”
According to the Dance Data Project， among the largest 150 ballet companies in America， only a quarter of works produced last year were choreographed （编舞） by women.
Light is a lead dancer.She knows the difficulties in reaching the position where she is now.“You know， there’s a choreographic workshop， and you don’t sign up for that because you’re like， ‘Well， I need to， I need to dance，’” Light said.
During the pandemic， women quit the workforce in larger numbers.They reported larger rates of burnout while taking on the extra burden of childcare.At companies where women often take the lead on efforts of diversity and equity， they typically don’t get additional pay.
But Rockett sees hope in Light’s generation， Gen Z （used to describe Americans born during the late 1990s and early 2000s）.“That is one thing we are seeing in particular with Gen Z.They will leave without a backup job.If they’re dissatisfied， they’re going to take off，” Rockett said.
28.What does Light reveal about the dance world in Paragraph 2？（ ）
A.There are many boys dancing. B.Men take up senior positions.
C.Many girls give up dancing in the end. D.Women are not necessarily good dancers.
29.What does the underlined word “persists” in Paragraph 3 mean？（ ）
A.Varies. B.Revives.
C.Balances. D.Continues.
30.What feeling does Light express in Paragraph 6？（ ）
A.Confusion. B.Relief.
C.Helplessness. D.Eagerness.
31.What does Rockett see in Gen Z？（ ）
A.They are unwilling to do just one job. B.They are brave to say no to unfairness.
C.They always do what they have planned. D.They choose to ignore the gender pay gap.

Every day at sunrise on the small French Polynesian island of Rimatara， Tiraha Mooroa goes for a run with Koha， the dog.Koha has an important job： to sniff out （嗅出） and kill any black rats he can find.Koha is the island’s only defense against the invasive rats.Keeping the island rat-free is vital： the rats， which arrive via boats and cargo ships （货船）， are the single biggest threat to native birds of the Pacific Islands， including the Rimatara lorikeet.The beautiful bird is critically endangered — only 1，500 remain in the wild， and a third of the entire population lives on tiny Rimatara island.Now， of the 118 islands in French Polynesia， Rimatara is one of only three without the rats.
The lorikeet was once widespread in the South Pacific.By the 18th century， however， it had already been hunted to near extinction by the Polynesians， who prized the bird’s red feathers for making headdresses.By 1900， the island’s queen， Temaeva V， banned hunting of the birds， effectively preserving the remaining population.Since the 1990s， however， the lorikeets have faced rising threats.
Socio-environmental researcher Samuel Ravatua-Smith heads up a nest observation program， launched by the conservation association Rima Ura， to better understand the lorikeet and its population decline.The program monitors all lorikeet nests on the island with Bluetooth-enabled cameras.Ravatua-Smith’s face falls as he watches the footage （镜头）.“The videos confirm that after the visit of a white-tailed tropicbird， the two hatchlings are no longer in the nest.The while-tailed tropicbird may be targeting and taking over lorikeet nests because of its own habitat loss，” Ravatua-Smith says.
It’s an important finding that brings Rima Ura another step closer to saving the lorikeet.This year， close to 100 new houses are set to be built to provide housing for residents in need.The clearing and construction may end up encompassing （涉及） more than half of the island.Rima Ura works to educate residents of Rimatara about how they can help protect the lorikeet， for instance encouraging locals to plant more fruit trees around their houses.Members of Rima Ura who live on the island also mark nesting trees and participate in reforestation initiatives.
32.What can we infer from Paragraph 1？（ ）
A.Koha’s efforts have worked.
B.Mooroa works on a cargo ship.
C.More dogs are needed on Rimatara island.
D.The Rimatara lorikeet’s threats are under control.
33.What was the main reason for the decline of the lorikeet’s number during the 18th century？（ ）
A.Invasion of black rats.
B.Habitat destruction.
C.Food competition.
D.Human hunting.
34.What does Ravatua-Smith discover？（ ）
A.The survival rate of the lorikeet’s newborns is increasing.
B.The lorikeet’s newborns are tended by other birds.
C.The lorikeets lose their habitat to other birds.
D.The lorikeets often stay in their nests.
35.Which measure is adopted by Rima Ura to save the Rimatara lorikeet？（ ）
A.Limiting the number of tourists on the island.
B.Building man-made nests for the birds on the island.
C.Calling on people to stop building houses on the island.
D.Uniting residents on the island to plant lorikeet-friendly trees.

It was a cloudy fall morning in our North Carolina town， and a fine mist dampened the fallen leaves.I was angry.My mother had slighted me somehow， although I can’t recall what caused my anger now.I was upset， and I would run away.
“Goodbye， Mom.” I stood outside the kitchen door， firmly holding onto my suitcase.I wore my worn-out red windbreaker （风衣） and a gray ski cap， looking the part.“Goodbye， Mom，” I repeated twice more， pushing open the door with my foot one final time， to make sure she’d heard.
At last， Mom emerged， wiping her hands on a dish towel.She gave me the once-over.I lifted the suitcase a little just to make sure she didn’t miss it.“I’m leaving，” I said.
“Did you pack a lunch？” Mom’s question knocked me off balance.Where were the tears？The pleas （恳求）？ “I said I’m leaving，” I said.“I’m running away.For ...ever.” I uttered the feared word slowly， and convinced it would weaken her determination.Instead， she smiled.
“Well， would you like me to fix you something？ A sandwich？ Bag of chips？ I just made chocolate chip cookies.”
“I’m really going，” I said.
“I can see that.”
“Maybe a cookie.”And then， “All right， I’m off.”
The misty rain lent drama to my journey.As I stepped onto the front walk， fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies in my coat pocket， I looked back at our big yellow house.I stared at the front door， waiting for it to open.I observed the curtains in the living room window， but there was no sign of any motion， not even a slight movement.

W：A group of 17-year-old schoolboys decided to break the world basketball marathon record. They wanted to play for 90 hours and add 6 hours to the record. Each team had 9 players， with 5 at a time. The boys decided each person would play 21.5 hours and then rest for 2 hours. Then they started at 6 o’clock in the evening.
The first night was very hard for the players. When it was their turn to rest， they were too excited to fall asleep at once. After sleeping for a short time， they had to play again. On the second night， they fell asleep as soon as they stopped. Some of them had trouble with their feet and hands， but the only serious problem was the mental one. Each boy was thinking： Why am I doing this？ How can I play any longer？ After the third night， the players knew they could finish the 90 hours. The basketball on the fourth night was very slow. But in the final hours， the players got better. For the last few minutes， the players looked as fresh as when they started.
第二部分
语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了一个牵线木偶表演的服务项目。
21.D 细节理解题。根据Two-Man Show （$650）和Notes部分中Distances over 25 miles from our Highland Park location at 4949 York Blvd will incur （带来） an additional travel fee of $50 flat.可知，预订地点距离BBMT的位置超过25英里的需要统一额外支付50美元的路费。故一共需要支付700美元。
22.B 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中We’ll bring the speaker system； we just ask for a power outlet （电源插座）.可知，人们需要准备一个电源插座。
23.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中For Birthday Celebrations， our marionettes will bring a gift to celebrate the birthday person可知，在生日庆祝活动中，木偶会给过生日的人带来一份礼物。
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。飓风来袭时，一位男士及时地解救了他的母亲。
24.C 细节理解题。根据第一段首句中Karen Lauder refused to leave her home because she was wrong about the intensity （强度） of the storm和最后一句可知，尽管Karen的儿子多次劝她，但是她认为飓风的强度没那么大，所以拒绝离开她的房子。
25.D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，Johnny在游泳去救母亲的途中不时停下来自拍，是为了向担心他的家人表明他没事，即向家人报平安。
26.B 推理判断题。根据第四段内容，并结合第二段最后一句和第五段中Johnny所说的话可知，Johnny去救母亲时无法确定她当时的安危，因此当他听到母亲的叫喊声时，感觉就像听到了音乐声，即感到宽慰，因为那表示她还活着。
27.D 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了飓风来袭时，一位男士及时地解救了他的母亲的故事。因此，D项最适合作本文标题。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一些在传统上由女性主导的领域，实质上还是由男性主宰。
28.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中Light 所说的even the dance world is dominated （主宰）by men at the top和in the industry， it’s still very much a boys’ game可知，Light 认为，舞蹈领域的主宰者是男性。
29.D 词义猜测题。根据第四段Rockett所说的话可知，在公立学校、餐饮业、教育、医疗保健、舞蹈等领域，男性被提拔为上层管理者的机会更多。由此推断，Rockett说女性要想成为管理者需要跨过巨大的鸿沟，即使是在女性主导的领域里，这一鸿沟依然存在。
30.C 推理判断题。根据第六段中Light所说there’s a choreographic workshop， and you don’t sign up for that because you’re like， “Well， I need to， I need to dance，”可知，Light没报名参加舞蹈工作坊，因为她需要跳舞，以保住她领舞的位置，她的话中满是无奈。
31.B 推理判断题。倒数第二段提到了在一些公司里，女性在多元化和公平方面发挥着领导作用，但她们通常不会获得额外的薪酬。根据最后一段中Rockett所说They will leave without a backup job.If they’re dissatisfied， they’re going to take off可知，Rockett从Z世代人身上看到了他们敢向不公平待遇说“不”的勇气。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。孔氏吸蜜鹦鹉濒临灭绝，里马塔拉岛上的人为保护该物种作出了努力。
32.A 推理判断题。根据第一段前三句和最后一句可知，负责清理外来老鼠的Koha的工作有了成效。
33.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的The lorikeet was once widespread in the South Pacific.By the 18th century， however， it had already been hunted to near extinction by the Polynesians可知，十八世纪时，由于人们的捕猎导致孔氏吸蜜鹦鹉的数量大量减少。
34.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中Samuel Ravatua-Smith heads up a nest observation program ...to better understand the lorikeet and its population decline ...“The videos confirm that ...The white-tailed tropicbird may be targeting and taking over lorikeet nests because of its own habitat loss，”可知，Ravatua-Smith发现孔氏吸蜜鹦鹉的巢穴被其他鸟类侵占。
35.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Rima Ura works to educate residents of Rimatara about how they can help protect the lorikeet， for instance encouraging locals to plant more fruit trees around their houses.可知，Rima Ura组织当地岛民种植对孔氏吸蜜鹦鹉有益的树来保护它们。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了小组学习的具体实施办法及相应的益处。
36.G 设空处承接上一句。上一句讲了“大学生可以从同龄人那里学到与从老师和书本那里同样多或更多的东西”，G项进一步说明了向同龄人学习的好处，其中的a supportive group与下一句中的a study group相呼应；improving academic achievement 与下文中的academic progress and success相呼应。
37.B 设空处为段落小标题，概括本段主旨。本段主要讲了通过和小组成员比较和讨论针对阅读材料的批注来加深对阅读材料的理解并为考试做准备。因此，B项符合语境。
38.F 设空处承接上一句。文章按照组队学习的几点建议以及其益处行文，设空处前一句讲了和小组成员分享课堂笔记，因此设空处和该学习方法的益处有关。F项中的something you missed指notes中漏掉的知识。
39.E 设空处位于段首，引出本段话题。设空处所在段讲了“组建图书馆研究小组及其益处”。E项中的library research是解题关键。
40.C 设空处承接上一句，与下一句为并列关系。上一句讲了“和小组成员一起见导师是有效的学习策略，这是有原因的”，接下来设空处和后一句一起给出具体原因。C项中的This指代前一句中的Having your team visit the instructor ...preparing for exams。
第三部分
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。一只不适合当服务犬的狗找到了新工作——助燃剂探测犬。
41.B 根据下文内容可知，这只名叫Sheldon的狗很特别，他灵敏的嗅觉虽然让他无法成为一只服务犬，却令它在消防队找到了适合自己的工作。
42.D 根据空前的took part in a program 和下段首句中的made him a failure as a service dog 可知，Sheldon参加了一个成为服务犬的项目。
43.C 根据句首的Unluckily以及下句Whenever he ...the source.和下段首句中made him a failure as a service dog可知，Sheldon容易被气味吸引的特性令它无法达到服务犬的标准。make the grade达到要求的或预期的标准，成功。
44.C 根据空后的Sheldon’s concentration flew out of the window、the source和下文中的his sensitive nose可知，每当Sheldon闻到令它感到好奇的味道时，它的注意力就会不集中，它只想去寻找气味的来源。
45.A 参见上题解析。
46.B 根据空后的Sheldon was sent to the State Farm Arson Dog Program和下段中Sheldon went on to become the department’s best accelerant detection dog可知，虽然Sheldon不适合当服务犬，但却是另一份狗狗工作（助燃剂探测犬）的完美犬选；被送到州立农场纵火犬项目后，它灵敏的鼻子很快使它在探测非法纵火助燃剂方面名列前茅。
47.D 参见上题解析。at the top of the class 出类拔萃，居首位。
48.B 根据下段首句中的his partner Tadlock可知，Sheldon和John Tadlock是搭档。
49.A 根据上段中的Sheldon was sent to the State Farm Arson Dog Program可知，Sheldon被送到州立农场纵火犬项目接受训练；结合空后的Sheldon went on to become the department’s best accelerant detection dog可知，从该项目毕业后，Sheldon成了该消防队最棒的助燃剂探测犬。
50.C 根据句中的to look into some cars that had been 51 under suspicious （可疑的） circumstances可知，此处介绍的是Sheldon参与的第一个案子。
51.D 根据下句中的how the fire got started 可知，这些车被烧毁了。
52.A 根据空前的no one had been able to figure out how the fire got started—but以及下文中的It took him about 30 seconds to give me an alert （警报）和Sheldon found the evidence可知，Sheldon对起火的原因并不感到困惑。
53.B 根据空后的It took him about 30 seconds to give me an alert （警报）可知，Tadlock说他让Sheldon去工作，即探测助燃剂，而Sheldon只花了大概30秒就给了Tadlock一个警报。由此推断，Sheldon轻而易举地就找到了（导致车被烧毁的）物证。
54.C 参见上题解析。
55.A 根据上半句For a dog with a super sense of smell可知，对于嗅觉超级灵敏的狗来说，不管你是在跟踪坏人还是在找工作，跟着鼻子走（做你认为对的事）总是最好的。作者在此处用follow your nose 一语双关。
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。短剧《逃出大英博物馆》掀起号召文物返还的热潮。
56.to be returned 考查非谓语动词。“for＋n./pron.＋动词不定式”是固定搭配。return和treasures之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且动作发生在将来，故用动词不定式的被动语态to be returned。
57.taking 考查非谓语动词。coming和taking并列作后置定语，修饰teapot。
58.addition 考查词形转换。设空处作表语，其前由a recent修饰，故填名词形式addition。
59.who/that 考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词artist，且在从句中作主语。故填who/that。
60.to 考查介词。unique to sb/sth表示“某人、某地或某物独具的、特有的”。
61.released 考查非谓语动词。设空处作状语，the series和release之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且动作已发生。故填released。
62.times 考查名词复数。根据语境可知，time在此处表示“次数”，为可数名词，且前面由270 million修饰。故填times。
63.strongly 考查词形转换。设空处作状语，修饰谓语，故填副词形式strongly。
64.pleased 考查词形转换。设空处作表语，且根据主语We可知，此处表示“高兴的”。故填pleased。
65.and 考查连词。history和tradition之间是并列关系，共同作about的宾语。故填and。
第四部分
第一节
Good morning， everyone！ Today I’m going to introduce some tips to protect ourselves in case of fire.
The first thing is to keep calm.Find out what’s going on and cut off the power if possible.If the fire is out of control， get a wet towel or cloth to cover your mouth and nose， which can protect yourself against the thick smoke.Remember to stay low to the ground when running away from the fire.Last but not least， call 119 for help as soon as possible.
To prevent fires， please pay more attention to fire safety， especially in autumn and winter.
Thanks for listening.
第二节
And so I had no choice but to continue.I got to the sidewalk and made my way along the street.I paused at a street corner and looked back at our house.I was uncertain about what lay ahead.I took a bite of the cookie， and decided that my mother deserved one last chance to convince me otherwise.I turned around and casually strolled back towards the house.Nothing.Not even a flicker of a curtain.My mother didn’t care if I ran away.Had she ever loved me at all？
A moment later， I was back in our home.“Lucy？” My mother’s voice came softly from the darkened living room.She was on the couch， sitting in a way I’d never seen her sit before.She perched on a pillow， positioned just right for a view through a large window.“I’m happy you’re home，” she said.She’d been crying.She managed a smile when I stepped over to her， and my anger and disappointment faded away.I knew she loved me.My mother loved me enough to let me find my own way back home.

W：A group of 17-year-old schoolboys decided to break the world
basketball marathon record. They wanted to play for 90 hours and add 6
hours to the record. Each team had 9 players， with 5 at a time. The boys
decided each person would play 21.5 hours and then rest for 2 hours.
Then they started at 6 o’clock in the evening.
The first night was very hard for the players. When it was their turn to
rest， they were too excited to fall asleep at once. After sleeping for a
short time， they had to play again. On the second night， they fell asleep
as soon as they stopped. Some of them had trouble with their feet and
hands， but the only serious problem was the mental one. Each boy was
thinking： Why am I doing this？ How can I play any longer？ After the
third night， the players knew they could finish the 90 hours. The
basketball on the fourth night was very slow. But in the final hours， the
players got better. For the last few minutes， the players looked as fresh
as when they started.

When Hurricane Ian hit Florida， Karen Lauder refused to leave her
home because she was wrong about the intensity （强度） of the
storm.Karen is 84 years old and depends on a wheelchair to get around
because she is missing a leg.Her son， Johnny Lauder， tried repeatedly
to get her to leave， but she refused.
Johnny and his whole family live within a few blocks of one
another.They kept in touch with Karen as the storm continued violently
outside， watching the water rising dangerously all around them.When
Karen reported that the water in her house had reached her bottom，
Johnny knew he had to take action.
First， Johnny ensured his sons and their pets were taken care
of.Then， he jumped out of a window and began to swim.Johnny used to
work as a rescue swimmer.He is obviously a strong swimmer， but the
flood water was filled with dangerous materials.There was also a strong
current， and he had to swim against it for most of his trip to Karen’s.As
he made his way through the water， Johnny stopped periodically to snap
selfies （拍自拍） to show his worried family that he was okay.
Johnny was racing against the clock.He knew he only had a short
period of time to get there before the water rose above Karen’s head.It
took him 40 minutes to swim four blocks.The sound of Karen’s shouting
inside was music to his ears！
“If it would’ve been 20 minutes later， she wouldn’t be here，”
Johnny said.“She’s never been happier to see me.”
Karen is now safe， although she is in the hospital being treated for
infections （感染） she got in the water.The family have all lost
everything they owned， including their houses， but they’re grateful
just to be here.

Great efforts have been made to close the gender （性别） pay
gap.But not all fields of work are created equal.
Alexandra Light， who has been doing ballet since she was two years
old， says even the dance world is dominated （主宰） by men at the
top.“A lot of people on the outside of the dance world still don’t
realize，” she said， “in the industry， it’s still very much a boys’
game.”
Tracey Rockett， who teaches management practice at Texas
Christian University， says she can point to any number of studies that
show the wide gulf （鸿沟） between women and management.That gulf
persists even in fields dominated by women.
“In public schools， for example， men are in the minority， but to
keep them， very often， they will be offered promotion opportunities
much earlier than women are，” Rockett said.“You see that in the
restaurant industry， in education， in healthcare， and in dance.”
According to the Dance Data Project， among the largest 150 ballet
companies in America， only a quarter of works produced last year were
choreographed （编舞） by women.
Light is a lead dancer.She knows the difficulties in reaching the
position where she is now.“You know， there’s a choreographic
workshop， and you don’t sign up for that because you’re like，
‘Well， I need to， I need to dance，’” Light said.
During the pandemic， women quit the workforce in larger
numbers.They reported larger rates of burnout while taking on the extra
burden of childcare.At companies where women often take the lead on
efforts of diversity and equity， they typically don’t get additional pay.
But Rockett sees hope in Light’s generation， Gen Z （used to
describe Americans born during the late 1990s and early 2000s）.“That
is one thing we are seeing in particular with Gen Z. They will leave
without a backup job.If they’re dissatisfied， they’re going to take
off，” Rockett said.

实质上还是由男性主宰。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一些在传统上由女性主导的领域，
实质上还是由男性主宰。
28. What does Light reveal about the dance world in Paragraph 2？
（ ）
A. There are many boys dancing.
B. Men take up senior positions.
C. Many girls give up dancing in the end.
D. Women are not necessarily good dancers.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中Light 所说的even the dance
world is dominated （主宰）by men at the top和in the industry，
it’s still very much a boys’ game可知，Light 认为，舞蹈领域的
主宰者是男性。
29. What does the underlined word “persists” in Paragraph 3 mean？
（ ）
A. Varies. B. Revives.
C. Balances. D. Continues.
解析： 词义猜测题。根据第四段Rockett所说的话可知，在公
立学校、餐饮业、教育、医疗保健、舞蹈等领域，男性被提拔为
上层管理者的机会更多。由此推断，Rockett说女性要想成为管理
者需要跨过巨大的鸿沟，即使是在女性主导的领域里，这一鸿沟
依然存在。
30. What feeling does Light express in Paragraph 6？（ ）
A. Confusion. B. Relief.
C. Helplessness. D. Eagerness.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第六段中Light所说there’s a
choreographic workshop， and you don’t sign up for that because
you’re like， “Well， I need to， I need to dance，”可知，Light
没报名参加舞蹈工作坊，因为她需要跳舞，以保住她领舞的位
置，她的话中满是无奈。
31. What does Rockett see in Gen Z？（ ）
A. They are unwilling to do just one job.
B. They are brave to say no to unfairness.
C. They always do what they have planned.
D. They choose to ignore the gender pay gap.
解析： 推理判断题。倒数第二段提到了在一些公司里，女性
在多元化和公平方面发挥着领导作用，但她们通常不会获得额外
的薪酬。根据最后一段中Rockett所说They will leave without a
backup job.If they’re dissatisfied， they’re going to take off可
知，Rockett从Z世代人身上看到了他们敢向不公平待遇说“不”
的勇气。
D
Every day at sunrise on the small French Polynesian island of
Rimatara， Tiraha Mooroa goes for a run with Koha， the dog.Koha has
an important job： to sniff out （嗅出） and kill any black rats he can
find.Koha is the island’s only defense against the invasive rats.Keeping
the island rat-free is vital： the rats， which arrive via boats and cargo
ships （货船）， are the single biggest threat to native birds of the Pacific
Islands， including the Rimatara lorikeet.The beautiful bird is critically
endangered — only 1，500 remain in the wild， and a third of the entire
population lives on tiny Rimatara island.Now， of the 118 islands in
French Polynesia， Rimatara is one of only three without the rats.
The lorikeet was once widespread in the South Pacific.By the 18th
century， however， it had already been hunted to near extinction by the
Polynesians， who prized the bird’s red feathers for making
headdresses.By 1900， the island’s queen， Temaeva V， banned
hunting of the birds， effectively preserving the remaining
population.Since the 1990s， however， the lorikeets have faced rising
threats.
Socio-environmental researcher Samuel Ravatua-Smith heads up a
nest observation program， launched by the conservation association Rima
Ura， to better understand the lorikeet and its population decline.The
program monitors all lorikeet nests on the island with Bluetooth-enabled
cameras.Ravatua-Smith’s face falls as he watches the footage （镜
头）.“The videos confirm that after the visit of a white-tailed
tropicbird， the two hatchlings are no longer in the nest.The while-tailed
tropicbird may be targeting and taking over lorikeet nests because of its
own habitat loss，” Ravatua-Smith says.
It’s an important finding that brings Rima Ura another step closer to
saving the lorikeet.This year， close to 100 new houses are set to be built
to provide housing for residents in need.The clearing and construction
may end up encompassing （涉及） more than half of the island.Rima
Ura works to educate residents of Rimatara about how they can help
protect the lorikeet， for instance encouraging locals to plant more fruit
trees around their houses.Members of Rima Ura who live on the island
also mark nesting trees and participate in reforestation initiatives.

up a nest observation program ...to better understand the lorikeet and
its population decline ...“The videos confirm that ...The white-
tailed tropicbird may be targeting and taking over lorikeet nests
because of its own habitat loss，”可知，Ravatua-Smith发现孔氏吸
蜜鹦鹉的巢穴被其他鸟类侵占。
35. Which measure is adopted by Rima Ura to save the Rimatara
lorikeet？（ ）
A. Limiting the number of tourists on the island.

educate residents of Rimatara about how they can help protect the
lorikeet， for instance encouraging locals to plant more fruit trees
around their houses.可知，Rima Ura组织当地岛民种植对孔氏吸蜜
鹦鹉有益的树来保护它们。

第二节（满分25分）
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 cloudy fall morning in our North Carolina town， and a fine
mist dampened the fallen leaves.I was angry.My mother had slighted me
somehow， although I can’t recall what caused my anger now.I was
upset， and I would run away.
“Goodbye， Mom.” I stood outside the kitchen door， firmly
holding onto my suitcase.I wore my worn-out red windbreaker （风衣）
and a gray ski cap， looking the part.“Goodbye， Mom，” I repeated
twice more， pushing open the door with my foot one final time， to
make sure she’d heard.
At last， Mom emerged， wiping her hands on a dish towel.She
gave me the once-over.I lifted the suitcase a little just to make sure she
didn’t miss it.“I’m leaving，” I said.
“Did you pack a lunch？” Mom’s question knocked me off
balance.Where were the tears？The pleas （恳求）？ “I said I’m
leaving，” I said.“I’m running away.For ...ever.” I uttered the
feared word slowly， and convinced it would weaken her
determination.Instead， she smiled.
“Well， would you like me to fix you something？ A sandwich？
Bag of chips？ I just made chocolate chip cookies.”
“I’m really going，” I said.
“I can see that.”
“Maybe a cookie.”And then， “All right， I’m off.”
The misty rain lent drama to my journey.As I stepped onto the front
walk， fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies in my coat pocket， I looked
back at our big yellow house.I stared at the front door， waiting for it to
open.I observed the curtains in the living room window， but there was no
sign of any motion， not even a slight movement.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
And so I had no choice but to continue.
A moment later， I was back in our home.
参考范文：
And so I had no choice but to continue.I got to the sidewalk and made
my way along the street.I paused at a street corner and looked back at our
house.I was uncertain about what lay ahead.I took a bite of the cookie，
and decided that my mother deserved one last chance to convince me
otherwise.I turned around and casually strolled back towards the
house.Nothing.Not even a flicker of a curtain.My mother didn’t care if I
ran away.Had she ever loved me at all？
A moment later， I was back in our home.“Lucy？” My
mother’s voice came softly from the darkened living room.She was on
the couch， sitting in a way I’d never seen her sit before.She perched on
a pillow， positioned just right for a view through a large window.“I’m
happy you’re home，” she said.She’d been crying.She managed a
smile when I stepped over to her， and my anger and disappointment
faded away.I knew she loved me.My mother loved me enough to let me
find my own way back home.
谢谢观看！
