●Ⅰ【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加拿大艾伯塔省的防雹干预项目,以及不同利益相关方对该项目所持的不同态度。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones.”可知,这个项目的目标是防止冰雹形成。故选B项。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But farmers in east-central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by cloud seeding.”可知,艾伯塔省中东部的农民反对这个项目。故选A项。
3.C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”可推知,多斯韦尔博士提到他在1999年看到的龙卷风是为了暗示人工降雨可能带来的危险。故选C项。
4.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.”可推知,人工降雨公司将继续存在。故选D项。
●Ⅱ【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了城市是多种多样的生态系统,有很多物种与我们共用城市区域。我们要保护自然栖息地,为野生动物提供合适的生存空间。
1.E 根据上文“Some wild animals become regular visitors to our cities, such as coyotes (丛林狼) in Los Angeles or boars (野猪) in Berlin.”可知,一些野生动物会到城市地区,E项(此外,许多物种共享我们的城市地区。)符合文意,故选E项。
2.A 根据下文“They do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife.”可知,城市并不是为野生动物提供栖息地而建的,是为人类而建的,A项(城市是为人类而建的。)符合文意,故选A项。
3.F 根据前文“At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them.”及下文“The bats are a tourist attraction, and they eat lots of bugs every night.”可知,从人们一开始害怕蝙蝠到后来蝙蝠成了旅游景点,这说明人们开始重视蝙蝠,F项(现在,他们开始重视他们有翅膀的邻居。)符合文意,其中的they指代上文提到的people,故选F项。
4.D 根据前文“The park used native plants and created open, natural spaces for wildlife. The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds.”与下文“Instead of being kept in cages, wildlife can move about freely.”可知,北京奥林匹克森林公园将野生动物带入城市,并且野生动物不是被关在笼子里的,说明该公园与动物园是不一样的,D项(该公园与动物园在许多方面相反。)符合文意,故选D项。
5.C 根据上文“As humans, it is important to take measures to prevent conflicts and appreciate the presence of them.”及下文“And our own future will be endangered.”可知,如果我们不采取措施预防冲突就会有更多的物种灭绝,C项(如果我们不这样做,更多的物种将灭绝。)说明了不采取措施的后果,并与下文构成并列关系,故选C项。
●Ⅲ【文章大意】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了中国科学家已开始对珠穆朗玛峰进行多方位科学考察,旨在揭示青藏高原环境变化的机制,优化生态安全屏障系统。
1.A 考查冠词。固定短语a total of (总共),位于句首应大写。故填A。
2.to reveal 考查非谓语动词。固定短语aim to do sth意为“旨在做某事”。故填to reveal。
3.Labelled 考查非谓语动词。动词label和其逻辑主语the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau之间是被动关系,label用过去分词形式作状语,句首单词首字母大写。故填Labelled。
4.conducting 考查非谓语动词。作介词for的宾语,conduct用动名词形式。故填conducting。
5.As 考查介词。根据句意可知此处表示“作为”,后跟名词短语,所以用介词as,句首单词首字母大写。故填As。
6.particularly 考查副词。此处用副词particularly作状语,修饰形容词important。故填particularly。
7.issues 考查名词复数。此处作宾语,所以用名词形式,issue为可数名词,前面没有限定词,所以用名词复数表示泛指。故填issues。
8.who 考查定语从句。该空引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为Yao Tandong,指人,关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语,用关系代词who。故填who。
9.transformation 考查名词。此处作宾语,由空前the可知,用名词transformation。故填transformation。
10.have been made 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。根据时间状语so far可知用现在完成时,主语many scientific achievements和动词make之间是被动关系,所以用被动语态,主语为复数,所以助动词为have。故填have been made。
●Ⅳ【思路点拨】 本文以故事发展的顺序为线索展开,主要描述了主人公放学后和邻居Mrs Lim乘坐电梯时突然电梯失去了控制,发出各种异样的声响,最终在五楼突然停下来,导致两人被困在其中。Mrs Lim的情绪逐渐失控,主人公尽力安抚Mrs Lim的恐慌情绪并帮助她解开衣领使她呼吸顺畅,同时努力寻找解决困境的办法。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“几分钟过去了,但没有人来帮忙。”可知,第一段可描写随着时间的流逝,没有人来帮忙,“我”开始紧张起来,Mrs Lim的状况开始变糟,“我”尽力想办法脱身但无法做到,“我们”焦急地等待救援的相关细节。
②由第二段首句内容“砰!当我听到消防员在电梯门的另一边时,我的希望到来了。”可知,第二段可描写当消防员到来并展开救援时“我”如释重负的心情,门被打开后,“我们”得救,Mrs Lim得到医护人员的救助,“我”对消防队员的迅速救援充满了感激之情的相关细节。
2.续写线索:电梯内的气氛开始紧张—Mrs Lim的状况不好—“我”极度焦虑—等待救援—消防员赶到—“我”感到放松—安全获救—感悟
One possible version:
Several minutes passed, but no help came. The air inside the lift grew stale, and panic started to set in. Mrs Lim’s condition was worsening, and I felt a sense of helplessness creeping over me. I tried to stay calm and think of a way out, but the situation seemed dire. The silence was deafening, broken only by Mrs Lim’s laboured breathing and occasional sobs. Time seemed to stretch on endlessly as we waited for a miracle.
Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters on the other side of the lift door. Relief flooded through me as I realized help had finally arrived. The sound of tools clanging against the door signalled their efforts to rescue us. Moments later, the door was pried open, and fresh air rushed in. We were safe. Mrs Lim was quickly attended to by the paramedics, and I was filled with gratitude for their swift response. When we were escorted out of the lift, I couldn’t help but feel a profound sense of appreciation for the fragility of life and the importance of helping others in times of need. In recent years, an increasing number of wild animals 1. (find) making cities their new homes. These newcomers adapt quickly and flourish in their new territories. Out of reach of their natural predators, urban life seems less hostile. Racoons are seen enjoying the lamb kebabs and garlic bread 2. they found in the garbage. Foxes are sleeping indoors in the suburb of London.
However, the presence of wildlife in cities poses a threat to public safety. There are 3. (terrify) reports that monkeys 4. (fierce) attacked residents. Some are greedy enough to commit crimes by robbing and stealing like 5. (thief). Worse still, a chacma baboon was suspected of starting a blaze deliberately, killing two firefighters who attempted to bring the fire under control.
How we should react 6. our wild neighbours is crucial. It is widely believed that we should learn to appreciate their presence instead of eliminating them. However, I am not 7. (optimism) about the future of mankind. We are facing too many problems to cope with. With wildlife 8. (take) over, humans may be wiped out one day.
For 9. (survive), perhaps we can build our new homes on Mars. So far, we have been sending unmanned spacecraft orbiting the distant planet. I am convinced that with the efforts of the space agency, in the near future, we will board advanced capsules and head towards 10. red planet.

On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought,” Dr Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
( )1.What does the project aim to do
A.Conserve moisture in the soil.
B.Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C.Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
D.Investigate chemical use in farming.
( )2.Who are opposed to the project
A.Farmers in east-central Alberta.
B.Managers of insurance companies.
C.Provincial government officials.
D.Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
( )3.Why does Dr Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999
A.To compare different kinds of seeding methods.
B.To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C.To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
D.To show the link between storms and moisture.
( )4.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right.
B.Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C.The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared.
D.Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.

Cities are diverse ecosystems. Some wild animals become regular visitors to our cities, such as coyotes (丛林狼) in Los Angeles or boars (野猪) in Berlin. 1. As our cities spread, we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbours.
2. They do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife. For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful. But when we cut grass or plant flowers, we destroy natural habitats.
Our actions sometimes help other species. When a bridge in Austin, Texas was repaired, engineers added small gaps running along the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats, and soon the bridge was the home of thousands of bats. At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them. 3. The bats are a tourist attraction, and they eat lots of bugs every night.
There are also structures built with the aim of bringing wildlife into the city. The Beijing Olympic Forest Park is a good example. The park used native plants and created open, natural spaces for wildlife. The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds. 4. Instead of being kept in cages, wildlife can move about freely. Sometimes, the visitors can encounter a gaggle of geese walking on the bank or swimming in the water leisurely.
While cities pose challenges for wildlife, they are finding ways to adapt and thrive in urban environments. As humans, it is important to take measures to prevent conflicts and appreciate the presence of them. 5. And our own future will be endangered.
A.Cities are built for humans.
B.The park is intended to protect birds.
C.If we do not, more species will become extinct.
D.In many ways, the park is the opposite of a zoo.
E.Also, a large number of species share our urban areas.
F.Now, they have come to value their winged neighbours.
G.Soon, the bats are adaptable and can thrive in human-built structures.

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。
When we were finally dismissed from the last class of the day, the students streamed out of the classrooms. It was another boring day after school. I dragged my feet home as I sighed. Yet another uneventful day, I thought. Little did I know that the day would take a turn for the worse.
The lift lobby (电梯间) of my flat was old and dirty. The walls, which were painted white, had been dirtied over many years. I reached my flat’s lobby, and pressed the lift button and went in. Just then, Mrs Lim, my elderly neighbour, hobbled (蹒跚) in. She looked ancient with tissue paper white hair, wearing a faded old-fashioned dress. I held the lift door open, flashing a friendly smile, and politely greeted her. I asked her how she felt that day and pressed the buttons. She thanked me for being so polite, and then we were silent for the rest of the ride.
The lift fell down increasingly fast. There were loud clanking sounds here and there while the lift grew slower and slower. My heart beat hard and fast as my hands turned cold and wet with sweat. Unfortunately, the lift came to an abrupt stop at the fifth floor. I pressed the buttons hard several times, but it was of no help. The lights on the buttons had gone out. It soon dawned on me that we were trapped. An icy fear crept up my spine. Mrs Lim was hysterical (歇斯底里的).
“We will never get out!” she cried with her face pale. It had become a colourless mask. I had no time to lose. I pressed the bell in the lift immediately. The sound was surely deafening, but what other choice did I have Mrs Lim burst into tears. I tried my very best to comfort her, telling her that everything would be all right and that we needed to find out how to get out safely. Mrs Lim began having trouble breathing, and I immediately helped her sit down and loosen her collar.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Several minutes passed, but no help came.
Paragraph 2:
Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters on the other side of the lift door.

文体：说明文 主题：人与自然 词数：334
On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in
Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs. As a result,
since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about
$2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project.
Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make
small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into

dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta—
downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious
moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by cloud
seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been
addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the
provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect
the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr Stienwand says,
“but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”

The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a
cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of
Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of
the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought,”
Dr Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the
moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck
Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University
of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes

(龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr Doswell
says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce
moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the
seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr Stienwand suggests, “It
would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has
had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof
concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a
lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate
engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.

Cities are diverse ecosystems. Some wild animals become
regular visitors to our cities, such as coyotes (丛林狼) in Los
Angeles or boars (野猪) in Berlin. 1.___ As our cities spread, we
need to think about what it is like for other species to have
human neighbours.
2.___ They do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife.
For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that

humans will find them beautiful. But when we cut grass or plant
flowers, we destroy natural habitats.
Our actions sometimes help other species. When a bridge
in Austin, Texas was repaired, engineers added small gaps
running along the length of its bottom. This made a good
home for bats, and soon the bridge was the home of

There are also structures built with the aim of bringing

spaces for wildlife. The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160

Ⅳ 读后续写［2024·江苏苏州高三二模］
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。
When we were finally dismissed from the last class of the
day, the students streamed out of the classrooms. It was
another boring day after school. I dragged my feet home as I
sighed. Yet another uneventful day, I thought. Little did I know
that the day would take a turn for the worse.
The lift lobby (电梯间) of my flat was old and dirty. The
walls, which were painted white, had been dirtied over many
years. I reached my flat's lobby, and pressed the lift button and
went in. Just then, Mrs Lim, my elderly neighbour, hobbled
(蹒跚) in. She looked ancient with tissue paper white hair,
wearing a faded old-fashioned dress. I held the lift door open,
flashing a friendly smile, and politely greeted her. I asked her
how she felt that day and pressed the buttons. She thanked me
for being so polite, and then we were silent for the rest of the
ride.
The lift fell down increasingly fast. There were loud clanking
sounds here and there while the lift grew slower and slower.
My heart beat hard and fast as my hands turned cold and wet
with sweat. Unfortunately, the lift came to an abrupt stop at the
fifth floor. I pressed the buttons hard several times, but it was
of no help. The lights on the buttons had gone out. It soon
dawned on me that we were trapped. An icy fear crept up my
spine. Mrs Lim was hysterical (歇斯底里的).
“We will never get out!” she cried with her face pale. It
had become a colourless mask. I had no time to lose. I pressed
the bell in the lift immediately. The sound was surely deafening,
but what other choice did I have Mrs Lim burst into tears. I
tried my very best to comfort her, telling her that everything
would be all right and that we needed to find out how to get
out safely. Mrs Lim began having trouble breathing, and I
immediately helped her sit down and loosen her collar.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Several minutes passed, but no help came.___________________
__________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters
on the other side of the lift door ._________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
【思路点拨】本文以故事发展的顺序为线索展开，主要描述了主人
公放学后和邻居Mrs Lim乘坐电梯时突然电梯失去了控制，发出各种
异样的声响，最终在五楼突然停下来，导致两人被困在其中。Mrs
Lim的情绪逐渐失控，主人公尽力安抚Mrs Lim的恐慌情绪并帮助她
解开衣领使她呼吸顺畅，同时努力寻找解决困境的办法。
【详解】
段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“几分钟过去了，但没有人来帮忙。”可知，第一
段可描写随着时间的流逝，没有人来帮忙，“我”开始紧张起来，Mrs
Lim的状况开始变糟，“我”尽力想办法脱身但无法做到，“我们”焦急
地等待救援的相关细节。
②由第二段首句内容“砰!当我听到消防员在电梯门的另一边时，我的
希望到来了。”可知，第二段可描写当消防员到来并展开救援时“我”
如释重负的心情，门被打开后，“我们”得救，Mrs Lim得到医护人员
的救助，“我”对消防队员的迅速救援充满了感激之情的相关细节。
续写线索：电梯内的气氛开始紧张—Mrs Lim的状况不好—“我”极度
焦虑—等待救援—消防员赶到—“我”感到放松—安全获救—感悟
One possible version:
Several minutes passed, but no help came. The air inside
the lift grew stale, and panic started to set in. Mrs Lim's
condition was worsening, and I felt a sense of helplessness
creeping over me. I tried to stay calm and think of a way out,
but the situation seemed dire. The silence was deafening,
broken only by Mrs Lim's laboured breathing and occasional
sobs. Time seemed to stretch on endlessly as we waited for a
miracle.
Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters
on the other side of the lift door. Relief flooded through me as
I realized help had finally arrived. The sound of tools
clanging against the door signalled their efforts to rescue us.
Moments later, the door was pried open, and fresh air rushed
in. We were safe. Mrs Lim was quickly attended to by the
paramedics, and I was filled with gratitude for their swift
response. When we were escorted out of the lift, I couldn't
help but feel a profound sense of appreciation for the
fragility of life and the importance of helping others in times of
need.

议上就这个问题发表演讲。
C.靓句借鉴
Given the degree of doubt, Mr Stienwand suggests, “It would
be wise to stop cloud seeding.”(阅读理解, Para.5)
【赏析】given是介词，意为“考虑到，鉴于”，用来引出某个已知的
事实或条件，其后接名词，given that后接名词性从句；it would
be wise to…意为“做……将是明智的”,句中it作形式主语，不定式短
语是真正的主语。
【译文】考虑到质疑的程度，斯蒂恩万德先生建议，“停止人工降雨
将是明智的。”
