Here are four parks in America that offer ideal visiting conditions in the fall.
Natchez Trace Parkway (Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee)
Covering 444 miles between the Mississippi River and Nashville, Natchez Trace Parkway has some of the prettiest scenery in the entire South. The fall season also brings special events along the parkway like the Natchez Balloon Festival (October 18-19) and Dancing With The King (October 18-20) in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Capitol Reef National Park (Utah)
Fall is a harvest season at Capitol Reef National Park —a picture-perfect setting for picnicking with peaches, pears and apples. For a small fee, visitors can self-pick the peaches, pears and apples with ladders and fruit-picking poles provided by the Park Service. Afterward, they can enjoy the fruits of their labor at the nearby picnic area and campground.
White Sands National Park (New Mexico)
Cooler temperatures are just one of the reasons to visit White Sands in the fall. Another reason to visit in the fall is impressive full moons that brighten the unearthly landscapes of this New Mexico desert park. White Sands celebrates the autumn supermoons with ranger-led Full Moon Hikes (September 18 and October 16) and Full Moon Nights that feature/ live outdoor music, specifically a jazz band on September 17 as well as Native American musician and storyteller Randy Granger on October 17.
Joshua Tree National Park (California)
It’s hard to avoid crowds at Joshua Tree National Park, but you might have a chance if you visit during a weekday in October or November. By October, the average daytime temperature has dropped, perfect for hiking, biking, horseback riding the 36.5-mile California Riding & Hiking Trail that runs east-west across the park.
1. When does the Natchez Balloon Festival start
A. On October 16. B. On October 17.
C. On October 18. D. On October 19.
2. What can visitors do at Capitol Reef National Park
A. Pick fruits. B. Enjoy band performances.

Ckunsa, the language of the Lickanantay people who have lived in the Atacama Desert for more than 11,000 years, was declared “extinct” in the 1950s. An extinct language is a language that no longer exists due to there being no speakers or users, in linguistics or otherwise. It’s a language no one bothers to study at all. “I don’t accept that my native language is extinct,” says 50-year-old Tomás Vilca, an aboriginal person living in the depths of the desert. “We are bringing it back. We are going to revive our language.”
About 7,000 languages are spoken worldwide, of which around 1,500 are in danger of disappearing altogether by the end of this century. Ckunsa is not the only one to disappear. The Selk’ nam, a native people who lived in the furthest southern reaches of Chile, spoke a language called Ona, which has also been declared extinct. Recently, in 2021, Cristina Calderón, the last speaker of the Yagán language at the southernmost tip of South America, died. With her death, the Yagán language became extinct.
“At the educational level, we are working constantly to revive Ckunsa through the school subject,” said Margarita Makuc, head of the Chilean Education Ministry’s general education division. In 2018 and 2019, the ministry spoke to representatives from the country’s 10 native communities to build a curriculum (课程表) for the subject, which was approved and carried out in July 2020. In October 2021, the first great meeting of the Ckunsa language was held in an attempt to plot a way forward for the recovery of the language. And in May this year, a foundation handed out 1,400 mini Ckunsa dictionaries to primary school students in San Pedro de Atacama.
Ilia Reyes Aymani, a local 50-year-old teacher, has written short songs in Ckunsa to teach colors and numbers to the local children. “We’re trying to leave something behind for our children, much as our grandparents and ancestors did for us,” says Reyes Aymani. “The more we spread the words and teach people, the faster Ckunsa grows as a language. It’s great to see how people are taking it up, and showing us that our heritage matters.”
4. What does the underlined word “aboriginal” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Creative. B. Inexperienced. C. Local. D. Unlucky.
5. How is paragraph 2 developed
A. By reasoning. B. By analyzing results.
C. By experimenting. D. By giving examples.
6. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Students’ performance in Chile. B. Efforts to revive Ckunsa.
C. Steps in learning a foreign language. D. Problems with carrying out the project.
7. What does Reyes Aymani think of his present work
A. It is beneficial to future generations. B. It earns him a large sum of money.
C. It makes him feel anxious and stressed. D. It gets him to know more famous people.
C
India has been one of the world’s largest producers and consumers of wheat and rice. “We used to know when it would rain and for how long, and we planted our seeds (种子) accordingly,” said P. Ravinder Reddy, a former Indian soldier who turned to farming on his family’s land 16 years ago. “Now, many times the seeds don’t grow either because there’s too much rain or it’s completely dry.”
Some are taking to what is called natural farming — techniques like planting crops alongside trees and other plants that can protect crops from wind and some extreme weather— to deal with climate change. But that can mean reduced yields (产量), so India’s government is promoting the use of new varieties of rice seeds that don’ t decrease yields.
According to a United Nations report released earlier this year, more than 700 million people went hungry last year and over a third of the global population is unable to afford a healthy diet. Apart from India, other programs including a United States government program and privately funded projects are helping develop new seeds that can adapt to climate change in Africa, Central America and other Asian countries.
“We really need these seeds to deal with these multiple issues created by global warming,” said Ashok Kumar Singh, former director of New Delhi-based Indian Agriculture Research Institute and a scientist who specializes in plant genetics and breeding. Singh has overseen the creation of multiple successful rice varieties to resist various plant diseases. And his organization, with funding from the government, has released more than 2,000 seed varieties in the last decade.
“Ensuring that farmers know about such seeds, can afford them and are trained to use them properly is as important as creating the seeds,” said Aditi Mukherji, director for climate change adaptation and mitigation at the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research and an author of several United Nations climate reports.
8. What can we learn from P. Ravinder Reddy’s words
A. He has been a soldier for sixteen years. B. He has an approach to helping seeds grow.
C. The climate in India has become extreme. D. It is easy to predict when it will rain in India.
9. What is a consequence of applying natural farming
A. Yield decrease. B. Energy shortage.
C. Land loss. D. Environmental harm.
10. What does the author want to show by mentioning 700 million people
A. The rising population around the world. B. The right way of keeping a healthy diet.
C. The importance of a United Nations report. D. The necessity for developing tougher seeds.
11. What is Aditi Mukherji’s suggestion for the governments
A. Training their farmers. B. Creating more jobs.
C. Raising the price of seeds. D. Ensuring personal security.
D
A mysterious phenomenon first observed in 2013 in a remote part of the Pacific Ocean appeared so unbelievable. Sensor readings seemed to show that oxygen was being made on the seabed 4,000 meters below the surface.
“I told my students to put the sensors back in the box. We shipped them back to the producer and got them tested because I thought they had given us nonsense,” said Andrew Sweetman, a professor at the Scottish Association for Marine Science. “And every single time the producer came back: ‘They’re working accurately.’”
Photosynthetic organisms (光合生物) such as plants and algae use sunlight to produce oxygen that cycles into the ocean depths, but previous studies conducted in the deep sea have shown that oxygen is only consumed, not produced, by the organisms that live there. Now, the team’s research was challenging this long-held assumption, finding oxygen produced without photosynthesis.
Sweetman first made the unexpected observation that “dark oxygen” was being produced on the seafloor while assessing marine biodiversity in an area that’s used for mining potato-size polymetallic nodules (多金属结核). Metals contained in the nodules are in high demand for use in solar panels, electric car batteries and other green technology.
The team took some of the samples of polymetallic nodules back to study in the lab to try to understand exactly how oxygen was being produced. Working with scientists at Northwestern University, Dr. Sweetman discovered that the nodules produce a small amount of electricity. When the nodules are close together, they create enough electricity to produce the oxygen.
The discovery raises more concerns about deep-sea mining. Craig Smith from the University of Hawaii said he favored a pause on mining the nodules. Early attempts at mining efforts in the zone in the 1980s provided a warning. “In 2016 and 2017, marine biologists visited sites that were mined in the 1980s and found not even bacteria had recovered in mined areas,” said Smith. “In unmined regions, however, there are many species of sealife.”
12. Why did Sweetman send the sensors back to the producer
A. He broke them by accident.
B. He didn’t need them anymore.
C. He thought they were out of order.
D He wanted to replace them with the latest ones.
13. According to the text, the team succeeded in _____________.
A. inventing electric car batteries B. producing oxygen in the deep ocean
C. creating polymetallic nodules in the lab D. proving the long-held assumption wrong
14. What is Craig Smith’s attitude to deep-sea mining
A. Favorable. B. Opposed. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. New Research on the Indian Ocean B. Dark Oxygen Was Found on the Seafloor
C. It Is Important for Us to Protect Sealife D. A Mysterious Study on Green Technology

【答案】Dear everyone,
Last month, I tried to cook noodles for my family. I put too much salt by mistake, making the noodles inedible. My dad joked that it could be a “salted treasure” and suggested we order takeout. I felt embarrassed at first, but soon laughed with them. This moment taught me to take mistakes lightly and enjoy small happy times with family. It also made me realize that family is always there to support and encourage me, no matter what mistakes I make.

My neighbor and I used to be good friends, but things changed after the community party last month. That day, I was responsible for organizing the games for the children, while my neighbor, Mr. Clark, offered to help with the music. We had been planning the party for weeks, and everyone was excited to spend a relaxing afternoon together.
He excitedly brought a large speaker and played cheerful songs, but the volume was too high. The music was so loud that some parents had to cover their ears, and it became difficult to continue the planned activities. Many complained that the children couldn’t hear the instructions clearly. I shouted at him loudly, “Turn it down a little. It’s a bit too loud.” He nodded but seemed a little upset and left shortly afterward without saying goodbye.
Since then, he has avoided talking to me. I waved at him yesterday, but he just turned away. My wife said I should apologize, but I felt it wasn’t entirely my fault. However, I recalled that Mr. Clark had recently lost his job and was going through a difficult time, often feeling lonely and discouraged. The party might have been one of the few moments he truly enjoyed recently, and I might have hurt his feelings unintentionally.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I realized it was me who was too impatient that day.

Ckunsa, the language of the Lickanantay people who have lived in the Atacama Desert for more than 11,000 years, was declared “extinct” in the 1950s. An extinct language is a language that no longer exists due to there being no speakers or users, in linguistics or otherwise. It’s a language no one bothers to study at all. “I don’t accept that my native language is extinct,” says 50-year-old Tomás Vilca, an aboriginal person living in the depths of the desert. “We are bringing it back. We are going to revive our language.”
About 7,000 languages are spoken worldwide, of which around 1,500 are in danger of disappearing altogether by the end of this century. Ckunsa is not the only one to disappear. The Selk’ nam, a native people who lived in the furthest southern reaches of Chile, spoke a language called Ona, which has also been declared extinct. Recently, in 2021, Cristina Calderón, the last speaker of the Yagán language at the southernmost tip of South America, died. With her death, the Yagán language became extinct.
“At the educational level, we are working constantly to revive Ckunsa through the school subject,” said Margarita Makuc, head of the Chilean Education Ministry’s general education division. In 2018 and 2019, the ministry spoke to representatives from the country’s 10 native communities to build a curriculum (课程表) for the subject, which was approved and carried out in July 2020. In October 2021, the first great meeting of the Ckunsa language was held in an attempt to plot a way forward for the recovery of the language. And in May this year, a foundation handed out 1,400 mini Ckunsa dictionaries to primary school students in San Pedro de Atacama.
Ilia Reyes Aymani, a local 50-year-old teacher, has written short songs in Ckunsa to teach colors and numbers to the local children. “We’re trying to leave something behind for our children, much as our grandparents and ancestors did for us,” says Reyes Aymani. “The more we spread the words and teach people, the faster Ckunsa grows as a language. It’s great to see how people are taking it up, and showing us that our heritage matters.”

India has been one of the world’s largest producers and consumers of wheat and rice. “We used to know when it would rain and for how long, and we planted our seeds (种子) accordingly,” said P. Ravinder Reddy, a former Indian soldier who turned to farming on his family’s land 16 years ago. “Now, many times the seeds don’t grow either because there’s too much rain or it’s completely dry.”
Some are taking to what is called natural farming — techniques like planting crops alongside trees and other plants that can protect crops from wind and some extreme weather— to deal with climate change. But that can mean reduced yields (产量), so India’s government is promoting the use of new varieties of rice seeds that don’ t decrease yields.
According to a United Nations report released earlier this year, more than 700 million people went hungry last year and over a third of the global population is unable to afford a healthy diet. Apart from India, other programs including a United States government program and privately funded projects are helping develop new seeds that can adapt to climate change in Africa, Central America and other Asian countries.
“We really need these seeds to deal with these multiple issues created by global warming,” said Ashok Kumar Singh, former director of New Delhi-based Indian Agriculture Research Institute and a scientist who specializes in plant genetics and breeding. Singh has overseen the creation of multiple successful rice varieties to resist various plant diseases. And his organization, with funding from the government, has released more than 2,000 seed varieties in the last decade.
“Ensuring that farmers know about such seeds, can afford them and are trained to use them properly is as important as creating the seeds,” said Aditi Mukherji, director for climate change adaptation and mitigation at the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research and an author of several United Nations climate reports.
8. What can we learn from P. Ravinder Reddy’s words
A. He has been a soldier for sixteen years. B. He has an approach to helping seeds grow.
C. The climate in India has become extreme. D. It is easy to predict when it will rain in India.
9. What is a consequence of applying natural farming
A. Yield decrease. B. Energy shortage.
C. Land loss. D. Environmental harm.
10. What does the author want to show by mentioning 700 million people
A. The rising population around the world. B. The right way of keeping a healthy diet.
C. The importance of a United Nations report. D. The necessity for developing tougher seeds.
11. What is Aditi Mukherji’s suggestion for the governments
A. Training their farmers. B. Creating more jobs.
C. Raising the price of seeds. D. Ensuring personal security.

A mysterious phenomenon first observed in 2013 in a remote part of the Pacific Ocean appeared so unbelievable. Sensor readings seemed to show that oxygen was being made on the seabed 4,000 meters below the surface.
“I told my students to put the sensors back in the box. We shipped them back to the producer and got them tested because I thought they had given us nonsense,” said Andrew Sweetman, a professor at the Scottish Association for Marine Science. “And every single time the producer came back: ‘They’re working accurately.’”
Photosynthetic organisms (光合生物) such as plants and algae use sunlight to produce oxygen that cycles into the ocean depths, but previous studies conducted in the deep sea have shown that oxygen is only consumed, not produced, by the organisms that live there. Now, the team’s research was challenging this long-held assumption, finding oxygen produced without photosynthesis.
Sweetman first made the unexpected observation that “dark oxygen” was being produced on the seafloor while assessing marine biodiversity in an area that’s used for mining potato-size polymetallic nodules (多金属结核). Metals contained in the nodules are in high demand for use in solar panels, electric car batteries and other green technology.
The team took some of the samples of polymetallic nodules back to study in the lab to try to understand exactly how oxygen was being produced. Working with scientists at Northwestern University, Dr. Sweetman discovered that the nodules produce a small amount of electricity. When the nodules are close together, they create enough electricity to produce the oxygen.
The discovery raises more concerns about deep-sea mining. Craig Smith from the University of Hawaii said he favored a pause on mining the nodules. Early attempts at mining efforts in the zone in the 1980s provided a warning. “In 2016 and 2017, marine biologists visited sites that were mined in the 1980s and found not even bacteria had recovered in mined areas,” said Smith. “In unmined regions, however, there are many species of sealife.”
12. Why did Sweetman send the sensors back to the producer
A. He broke them by accident.
B. He didn’t need them anymore.
C. He thought they were out of order.
D He wanted to replace them with the latest ones.
13. According to the text, the team succeeded in _____________.
A. inventing electric car batteries B. producing oxygen in the deep ocean
C. creating polymetallic nodules in the lab D. proving the long-held assumption wrong
14. What is Craig Smith’s attitude to deep-sea mining
A. Favorable. B. Opposed. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. New Research on the Indian Ocean B. Dark Oxygen Was Found on the Seafloor
C. It Is Important for Us to Protect Sealife D. A Mysterious Study on Green Technology

【答案】Dear everyone,
Last month, I tried to cook noodles for my family. I put too much salt by mistake, making the noodles inedible. My dad joked that it could be a “salted treasure” and suggested we order takeout. I felt embarrassed at first, but soon laughed with them. This moment taught me to take mistakes lightly and enjoy small happy times with family. It also made me realize that family is always there to support and encourage me, no matter what mistakes I make.

My neighbor and I used to be good friends, but things changed after the community party last month. That day, I was responsible for organizing the games for the children, while my neighbor, Mr. Clark, offered to help with the music. We had been planning the party for weeks, and everyone was excited to spend a relaxing afternoon together.
He excitedly brought a large speaker and played cheerful songs, but the volume was too high. The music was so loud that some parents had to cover their ears, and it became difficult to continue the planned activities. Many complained that the children couldn’t hear the instructions clearly. I shouted at him loudly, “Turn it down a little. It’s a bit too loud.” He nodded but seemed a little upset and left shortly afterward without saying goodbye.
Since then, he has avoided talking to me. I waved at him yesterday, but he just turned away. My wife said I should apologize, but I felt it wasn’t entirely my fault. However, I recalled that Mr. Clark had recently lost his job and was going through a difficult time, often feeling lonely and discouraged. The party might have been one of the few moments he truly enjoyed recently, and I might have hurt his feelings unintentionally.

With a plate of freshly baked cookies, I walked toward his house.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I realized it was me who was too impatient that day. Mr. Clark just wanted to make the party lively, and his loud music was a way to share his joy. I shouldn’t have shouted at him, especially when he was going through a hard time. I decided to apologize and make things right. I also thought about how important it is to be understanding and empathetic towards others.
With a plate of freshly baked cookies, I walked toward his house. He opened the door, looking surprised. I handed him the cookies and said, “I’m sorry for shouting at you at the party. I know you wanted to help, and I was too rude.” He smiled and accepted the cookies, saying he’d also overreacted. We talked for a while, and our friendship was back. During our conversation, we both shared some other funny memories, and it felt like the incident had never happened. This experience taught me that a sincere apology can go a long way in mending a relationship.

Here are four parks in America that offer ideal visiting conditions in the fall.
Natchez Trace Parkway (Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee)
Covering 444 miles between the Mississippi River and Nashville, Natchez Trace Parkway has some of the prettiest scenery in the entire South. The fall season also brings special events along the parkway like the Natchez Balloon Festival (October 18-19) and Dancing With The King (October 18-20) in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Capitol Reef National Park (Utah)
Fall is a harvest season at Capitol Reef National Park —a picture-perfect setting for picnicking with peaches, pears and apples. For a small fee, visitors can self-pick the peaches, pears and apples with ladders and fruit-picking poles provided by the Park Service. Afterward, they can enjoy the fruits of their labor at the nearby picnic area and campground.
White Sands National Park (New Mexico)
Cooler temperatures are just one of the reasons to visit White Sands in the fall. Another reason to visit in the fall is impressive full moons that brighten the unearthly landscapes of this New Mexico desert park. White Sands celebrates the autumn supermoons with ranger-led Full Moon Hikes (September 18 and October 16) and Full Moon Nights that feature/ live outdoor music, specifically a jazz band on September 17 as well as Native American musician and storyteller Randy Granger on October 17.
Joshua Tree National Park (California)
It’s hard to avoid crowds at Joshua Tree National Park, but you might have a chance if you visit during a weekday in October or November. By October, the average daytime temperature has dropped, perfect for hiking, biking, horseback riding the 36.5-mile California Riding & Hiking Trail that runs east-west across the park.
1. When does the Natchez Balloon Festival start
A. On October 16. B. On October 17.
C. On October 18. D. On October 19.
2. What can visitors do at Capitol Reef National Park

Sweetman first made the unexpected observation that “dark oxygen” was being produced on the seafloor while assessing marine biodiversity in an area that’s used for mining potato-size polymetallic nodules (多金属结核). Metals contained in the nodules are in high demand for use in solar panels, electric car batteries and other green technology.
The team took some of the samples of polymetallic nodules back to study in the lab to try to understand exactly how oxygen was being produced. Working with scientists at Northwestern University, Dr. Sweetman discovered that the nodules produce a small amount of electricity. When the nodules are close together, they create enough electricity to produce the oxygen.
The discovery raises more concerns about deep-sea mining. Craig Smith from the University of Hawaii said he favored a pause on mining the nodules. Early attempts at mining efforts in the zone in the 1980s provided a warning. “In 2016 and 2017, marine biologists visited sites that were mined in the 1980s and found not even bacteria had recovered in mined areas,” said Smith. “In unmined regions, however, there are many species of sealife.”
12. Why did Sweetman send the sensors back to the producer
A. He broke them by accident.
B. He didn’t need them anymore.
C. He thought they were out of order.
D He wanted to replace them with the latest ones.
13. According to the text, the team succeeded in _____________.
A. inventing electric car batteries B. producing oxygen in the deep ocean
C. creating polymetallic nodules in the lab D. proving the long-held assumption wrong
14. What is Craig Smith’s attitude to deep-sea mining
A. Favorable. B. Opposed. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. New Research on the Indian Ocean B. Dark Oxygen Was Found on the Seafloor
C. It Is Important for Us to Protect Sealife D. A Mysterious Study on Green Technology

【答案】Dear everyone,
Last month, I tried to cook noodles for my family. I put too much salt by mistake, making the noodles inedible. My dad joked that it could be a “salted treasure” and suggested we order takeout. I felt embarrassed at first, but soon laughed with them. This moment taught me to take mistakes lightly and enjoy small happy times with family. It also made me realize that family is always there to support and encourage me, no matter what mistakes I make.

My neighbor and I used to be good friends, but things changed after the community party last month. That day, I was responsible for organizing the games for the children, while my neighbor, Mr. Clark, offered to help with the music. We had been planning the party for weeks, and everyone was excited to spend a relaxing afternoon together.
He excitedly brought a large speaker and played cheerful songs, but the volume was too high. The music was so loud that some parents had to cover their ears, and it became difficult to continue the planned activities. Many complained that the children couldn’t hear the instructions clearly. I shouted at him loudly, “Turn it down a little. It’s a bit too loud.” He nodded but seemed a little upset and left shortly afterward without saying goodbye.
Since then, he has avoided talking to me. I waved at him yesterday, but he just turned away. My wife said I should apologize, but I felt it wasn’t entirely my fault. However, I recalled that Mr. Clark had recently lost his job and was going through a difficult time, often feeling lonely and discouraged. The party might have been one of the few moments he truly enjoyed recently, and I might have hurt his feelings unintentionally.

Here are four parks in America that offer ideal visiting conditions in the fall.
Natchez Trace Parkway (Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee)
Covering 444 miles between the Mississippi River and Nashville, Natchez Trace Parkway has some of the prettiest scenery in the entire South. The fall season also brings special events along the parkway like the Natchez Balloon Festival (October 18-19) and Dancing With The King (October 18-20) in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Capitol Reef National Park (Utah)
Fall is a harvest season at Capitol Reef National Park —a picture-perfect setting for picnicking with peaches, pears and apples. For a small fee, visitors can self-pick the peaches, pears and apples with ladders and fruit-picking poles provided by the Park Service. Afterward, they can enjoy the fruits of their labor at the nearby picnic area and campground.
White Sands National Park (New Mexico)
Cooler temperatures are just one of the reasons to visit White Sands in the fall. Another reason to visit in the fall is impressive full moons that brighten the unearthly landscapes of this New Mexico desert park. White Sands celebrates the autumn supermoons with ranger-led Full Moon Hikes (September 18 and October 16) and Full Moon Nights that feature/ live outdoor music, specifically a jazz band on September 17 as well as Native American musician and storyteller Randy Granger on October 17.
Joshua Tree National Park (California)
It’s hard to avoid crowds at Joshua Tree National Park, but you might have a chance if you visit during a weekday in October or November. By October, the average daytime temperature has dropped, perfect for hiking, biking, horseback riding the 36.5-mile California Riding & Hiking Trail that runs east-west across the park.
1. When does the Natchez Balloon Festival start
A. On October 16. B. On October 17.
C. On October 18. D. On October 19.
2. What can visitors do at Capitol Reef National Park
A. Pick fruits. B. Enjoy band performances.
C. Meet Randy Granger. D. Attend Dancing With The King.
3. Which park offers activities related to full moons
A. Natchez Trace Parkway. B. White Sands National Park.
C. Capitol Reef National Park. D. Joshua Tree National Park.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B
B
Ckunsa, the language of the Lickanantay people who have lived in the Atacama Desert for more than 11,000 years, was declared “extinct” in the 1950s. An extinct language is a language that no longer exists due to there being no speakers or users, in linguistics or otherwise. It’s a language no one bothers to study at all. “I don’t accept that my native language is extinct,” says 50-year-old Tomás Vilca, an aboriginal person living in the depths of the desert. “We are bringing it back. We are going to revive our language.”
About 7,000 languages are spoken worldwide, of which around 1,500 are in danger of disappearing altogether by the end of this century. Ckunsa is not the only one to disappear. The Selk’ nam, a native people who lived in the furthest southern reaches of Chile, spoke a language called Ona, which has also been declared extinct. Recently, in 2021, Cristina Calderón, the last speaker of the Yagán language at the southernmost tip of South America, died. With her death, the Yagán language became extinct.
“At the educational level, we are working constantly to revive Ckunsa through the school subject,” said Margarita Makuc, head of the Chilean Education Ministry’s general education division. In 2018 and 2019, the ministry spoke to representatives from the country’s 10 native communities to build a curriculum (课程表) for the subject, which was approved and carried out in July 2020. In October 2021, the first great meeting of the Ckunsa language was held in an attempt to plot a way forward for the recovery of the language. And in May this year, a foundation handed out 1,400 mini Ckunsa dictionaries to primary school students in San Pedro de Atacama.
Ilia Reyes Aymani, a local 50-year-old teacher, has written short songs in Ckunsa to teach colors and numbers to the local children. “We’re trying to leave something behind for our children, much as our grandparents and ancestors did for us,” says Reyes Aymani. “The more we spread the words and teach people, the faster Ckunsa grows as a language. It’s great to see how people are taking it up, and showing us that our heritage matters.”
4. What does the underlined word “aboriginal” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Creative. B. Inexperienced. C. Local. D. Unlucky.
5. How is paragraph 2 developed
A. By reasoning. B. By analyzing results.
C. By experimenting. D. By giving examples.
6. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Students’ performance in Chile. B. Efforts to revive Ckunsa.
C. Steps in learning a foreign language. D. Problems with carrying out the project.
7. What does Reyes Aymani think of his present work
A. It is beneficial to future generations. B. It earns him a large sum of money.
C. It makes him feel anxious and stressed. D. It gets him to know more famous people.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A
C
India has been one of the world’s largest producers and consumers of wheat and rice. “We used to know when it would rain and for how long, and we planted our seeds (种子) accordingly,” said P. Ravinder Reddy, a former Indian soldier who turned to farming on his family’s land 16 years ago. “Now, many times the seeds don’t grow either because there’s too much rain or it’s completely dry.”
Some are taking to what is called natural farming — techniques like planting crops alongside trees and other plants that can protect crops from wind and some extreme weather— to deal with climate change. But that can mean reduced yields (产量), so India’s government is promoting the use of new varieties of rice seeds that don’ t decrease yields.
According to a United Nations report released earlier this year, more than 700 million people went hungry last year and over a third of the global population is unable to afford a healthy diet. Apart from India, other programs including a United States government program and privately funded projects are helping develop new seeds that can adapt to climate change in Africa, Central America and other Asian countries.
“We really need these seeds to deal with these multiple issues created by global warming,” said Ashok Kumar Singh, former director of New Delhi-based Indian Agriculture Research Institute and a scientist who specializes in plant genetics and breeding. Singh has overseen the creation of multiple successful rice varieties to resist various plant diseases. And his organization, with funding from the government, has released more than 2,000 seed varieties in the last decade.
“Ensuring that farmers know about such seeds, can afford them and are trained to use them properly is as important as creating the seeds,” said Aditi Mukherji, director for climate change adaptation and mitigation at the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research and an author of several United Nations climate reports.
8. What can we learn from P. Ravinder Reddy’s words
A. He has been a soldier for sixteen years. B. He has an approach to helping seeds grow.
C. The climate in India has become extreme. D. It is easy to predict when it will rain in India.
9. What is a consequence of applying natural farming
A. Yield decrease. B. Energy shortage.
C. Land loss. D. Environmental harm.
10. What does the author want to show by mentioning 700 million people
A. The rising population around the world. B. The right way of keeping a healthy diet.
C. The importance of a United Nations report. D. The necessity for developing tougher seeds.
11. What is Aditi Mukherji’s suggestion for the governments
A. Training their farmers. B. Creating more jobs.
C. Raising the price of seeds. D. Ensuring personal security.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A

A mysterious phenomenon first observed in 2013 in a remote part of the Pacific Ocean appeared so unbelievable. Sensor readings seemed to show that oxygen was being made on the seabed 4,000 meters below the surface.
“I told my students to put the sensors back in the box. We shipped them back to the producer and got them tested because I thought they had given us nonsense,” said Andrew Sweetman, a professor at the Scottish Association for Marine Science. “And every single time the producer came back: ‘They’re working accurately.’”
Photosynthetic organisms (光合生物) such as plants and algae use sunlight to produce oxygen that cycles into the ocean depths, but previous studies conducted in the deep sea have shown that oxygen is only consumed, not produced, by the organisms that live there. Now, the team’s research was challenging this long-held assumption, finding oxygen produced without photosynthesis.

Dear everyone,
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Dear everyone,
Last month, I tried to cook noodles for my family. I put too much salt by mistake, making the noodles inedible. My dad joked that it could be a “salted treasure” and suggested we order takeout. I felt embarrassed at first, but soon laughed with them. This moment taught me to take mistakes lightly and enjoy small happy times with family. It also made me realize that family is always there to support and encourage me, no matter what mistakes I make.

47. 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。
My neighbor and I used to be good friends, but things changed after the community party last month. That day, I was responsible for organizing the games for the children, while my neighbor, Mr. Clark, offered to help with the music. We had been planning the party for weeks, and everyone was excited to spend a relaxing afternoon together.
He excitedly brought a large speaker and played cheerful songs, but the volume was too high. The music was so loud that some parents had to cover their ears, and it became difficult to continue the planned activities. Many complained that the children couldn’t hear the instructions clearly. I shouted at him loudly, “Turn it down a little. It’s a bit too loud.” He nodded but seemed a little upset and left shortly afterward without saying goodbye.
Since then, he has avoided talking to me. I waved at him yesterday, but he just turned away. My wife said I should apologize, but I felt it wasn’t entirely my fault. However, I recalled that Mr. Clark had recently lost his job and was going through a difficult time, often feeling lonely and discouraged. The party might have been one of the few moments he truly enjoyed recently, and I might have hurt his feelings unintentionally.

【答案】
I realized it was me who was too impatient that day. Mr. Clark just wanted to make the party lively, and his loud music was a way to share his joy. I shouldn’t have shouted at him, especially when he was going through a hard time. I decided to apologize and make things right. I also thought about how important it is to be understanding and empathetic towards others.
With a plate of freshly baked cookies, I walked toward his house. He opened the door, looking surprised. I handed him the cookies and said, “I’m sorry for shouting at you at the party. I know you wanted to help, and I was too rude.” He smiled and accepted the cookies, saying he’d also overreacted. We talked for a while, and our friendship was back. During our conversation, we both shared some other funny memories, and it felt like the incident had never happened. This experience taught me that a sincere apology can go a long way in mending a relationship.
