M:Next on the program, we’re offering free tickets to go and see
a film called Greenland.The film, which tells you all about the plants
and animals in that wonderful place, has won a prize at the NATIONAL
FILM FESTIVAL. It’s well worth seeing.
The film can only be seen at a new cinema inside the Science
Museum.It’s showing this Sunday with performances every hour from
midday onwards, with the last showing at 5 o’clock, two hours before
the museum closes.
So why not take the whole family to the museum this Sunday? There
are lots to do.Children will want to head straight down to the basement
where the computers are kept.I promise you they’ll come away with all
sorts of exciting pictures they’ve created.Moving to the first floor, a
working steam engine and a life-sized model of a spaceship are among the
favourite exhibits.
Entrance to the museum is free on Sundays, but it would normally
cost $3.25 to go and see the film.To get your free tickets, you should e-
mail this program by midday on Friday.We’ve only got a limited number
of tickets, so the earlier you e-mail us, the more likely you are to get
one.
So go ahead with the writing after this song.

The 97-year-old botanist, Margaret Bradshaw, is the chief
caretaker of Teesdale’s rarest flowers.“Everything about Teesdale is
unique,” says Bradshaw with pride — and the authority of someone
who has just written a 288-page book on the subject.Bradshaw has been
recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great
decreases.Her data was the first to prove that — and the need to do
something about it.
The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual
one.The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000,
as the uplands were generally believed there were too many
sheep.Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas,
reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive.Longer grass
overshadows the delicate (娇嫩) flowers, taking away the light they
need to grow.As a result of her findings and her work with farmers who
herd the land — as well as Natural England, which manages it — sheep
numbers are increasing and the timing of herding is being carefully
managed.This has led to the partial recovery of some plants.
At 93, she set up Teesdale Special Flora Research and Conservation
Trust to record rare plants.A keen horse rider, at 95, she did a 55-mile
horse journey across Teesdale, raising almost $10,000 for the
Trust.When asked about the secret to longevity, “Just keep going,”
she says.“Keep at it.Don’t sit down and just watch TV. ”
“I recognise I’m getting older and I’ve been trying to get more
people to take over and do the records.They don’t believe I won’t be
here forever,” Bradshaw says.Despite Bradshaw’s guardianship of
this land, and the love and energy she has put into saving it, the future
here is unknown.The last words of her book speak to this endless
loss.“This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and
yours,” she writes.“In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its
decrease, now it is up to you.”

24. What is Margaret Bradshaw’s main work with the rare plants?
( )
A. Writing a book.
B. Preventing their decrease.
C. Collecting their data.
D. Directing farmers to grow plants.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句可知,Bradshaw 从 20
世纪 50 年代初就开始记录这里的珍稀植物,所以她对珍稀植物的主
要工作是收集它们的数据。
√
25. What contributed to the reduction of rare plants in Teesdale?
( )
A. Not enough sheep. B. Lack of fund.
C. Poor management. D. Too many sheep.
解析: 推理判断题。根据第二段第二至四句可知,到2000年,蒂
斯代尔的绵羊数量减少了一半,减少放牧对这里的植物造成了破坏,
因为更长的草遮住了娇嫩的花朵,夺走了它们生长所需的光线。所以
导致蒂斯代尔珍稀植物减少的原因是绵羊数量不足。
√
26. What can we learn from Bradshaw’s words in the last paragraph?
( )
A. Unity brings strength.
B. Many hands make light work.
C. Youthful at heart, regardless of age.
D. Advance what the forerunners began.
√
解析: 推理判断题。在最后一段,Bradshaw 说她一直在努力让更
多人接手并做记录,她虽然努力了但未能阻止植物数量减少,现在要
靠其他人了。这表明她希望后人能继续她未完成的保护珍稀植物的工
作,D项(推进前人开创的事业)符合她的意思。
27. Which might be a suitable title for the text?( )
A. Teesdale:Home to Rare Plants
B. Battling for Teesdale’s Wildflowers
C. Bradshaw:A 97-Year-Old Gardener
D. Exploring Teesdale’s Unique Plants
解析: 标题归纳题。文章主要讲述了 97 岁的植物学家 Margaret
Bradshaw 为保护蒂斯代尔的珍稀花卉所做的努力,包括收集数据、发
现问题、与各方合作以及呼吁更多人参与等。B 项(为蒂斯代尔的野
花而战)能很好地概括文章主旨,适合作文章标题。

To understand the effect of ice melting around the world, we first
have to understand what an ice sheet actually is.Covering 5.4 million
square miles in Antarctica and 656,000 square miles in Greenland, an
ice sheet is actually a huge land of ice from the Ice Age.These sheets form
in areas where snow that falls in winter does not melt entirely over the
summer.This ice, home to different species of animals, is now melting
at a rate that cannot support the life it currently holds.
Many of these creatures rely on ice sheets as land for resting,
hunting and protection, yet as the size decreases, they are forced out of
their homeland in search of other land on which to live.Often this means
journeys to search for food and an imbalanced ecosystem happens when
different species are forced together onto the coast.
Since the 1990s, the deer population has dropped by 56 per cent —
climate change has caused warmer temperatures over winter, setting off
rainfall instead of snow, which freezes more quickly underfoot and
makes it harder to walk and search for food.In the summer, frozen layers
of land melts and releases trapped diseases which bring death to animals.A
similar situation has fallen on the polar bears who suffered a 40 per cent
population loss between 2001-2010.
Quite apart from these problems, the threat of sea levels rising if the
ice caps were to disappear is approaching.If the Greenland Ice Sheet
melted, the sea level would rise around six meters, and if the Antarctic
Ice Sheet melted, sea levels would rise by around 20 feet.As a matter of
fact, sea levels have risen about eight inches since 1880, three of which
we’ve gained over the last 25 years.This seemingly small amount has
already caused dangerous flooding, loss of farmland and more deadly
storms.
While we’re still a long way from losing the ice sheets all
together, we’ve already lost too much and if we don’t take climate
change seriously now, we will certainly hit the point of no return.

Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back and he’ll be speechless,
which is an old joke in the US. This rested on a national stereotype:
Italians are talkative and emotional, and all that arm-waggling
supposedly goes to prove it.
However, Susan Goldin-Meadow, author of the book Thinking
with Your Hands, has a rather different view.“Almost everyone
gestures, not just Italians,” she laughs.“Conference interpreters
gesture in their little rooms, though no one is looking at them.Even
people born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other.In
the TV series, The Crown, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may
reveal her real emotions, which could be dangerous and that they have to
be tied together so she can learn to speak without gesturing.”
The gesture under discussion here is the so-called “co-speech
gesture”.It is much more abstract than such symbolic gestures like a
finger over the lips for “Silence!” or raising a finger to mean
“Great!”.Like words, such symbolic gestures are fixed within
cultures (but vary between them).Instead, co-speech gestures that
accompany speech are another channel of information and emotion.For
example, experimental subjects are asked to watch a film in which a cat
runs, but they are told to lie and say it jumped.They may do so in
words — while their hands will make a running movement.
The co-speech gesture is not sign languages, which have clearly defined
words and grammar and differ from place to place just as spoken ones do,
either.
And the co-speech gestures have great potential for practical
applications.For example, teachers are encouraged both to use gestures
themselves and to observe those their students make.Some students who
fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture in a way that indicates
they are on the edge of getting it; they should be taught differently from
the ones whose gestures suggest that they are entirely in perplexity.
“Children with language delays caused by brain injuries at or around
birth are likely to catch up verbally by the age of about 30 months, if they
gesture as much as their peers.Those who gesture less are more likely to
need early assistance,” Susan Goldin-Meadow adds.“Co-speech
gesturing is not just about a lack of control.It is about thinking and
communication, and is an aid to both.”

32. What does Susan Goldin-Meadow imply in paragraph 2?( )
A. Co-speech gestures are used by all of us.
B. Lady Diana is probably an emotional woman.
C. Italians are very talkative and gesture too much.
D. It is unnatural for the blind to gesture to each other.

用伴随言语手势,即伴随言语手势为我们所有人所使用。
√
33. What can we learn about sign languages?( )
A. They are as abstract as co-speech gestures.
B. They have distinctly structured words and grammar.
C. They are usually learned by human beings naturally.

34. What does the underlined phrase “in perplexity” in paragraph 4
mean?( )
A. Confused. B. Relaxed.
C. Curious. D. Angry.
解析: 词义猜测题。根据画线短语所在句可推测,这里将两类学
生作对比,一类是做手势显示出快要找到解题思路的学生,与之不同
的另一类学生,其手势表明他们处于in perplexity的状态。结合语境可
知,画线短语指完全困惑,不理解的状态。confused意为“困惑
的”,与此相符。
√
35. What does the author suggest teachers do in the passage?( )
A. Put enough trust in students.
B. Teach as many tricky problems as possible.
C. Encourage students to tell the truth.
D. Observe the co-speech gestures carefully.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知,作者建议教师自己要
使用手势并且仔细观察学生的手势,也就是要仔细观察学生的伴随言
语手势。

Why dogs chase their tails? There are some answers to this
question, which might surprise you.While tail chasing can be a harmless
behavior, sometimes it can indicate a potential issue requiring a vet
visit.Below are some common meanings behind your dog chasing its tail.
36. ( )
It might look like a strange activity to humans, but tail-chasing is a
simple way for dogs to let loose and have a little fun.37.( ) Just
keep in mind that a constantly bored or stressed dog might be feeling left
out, so make sure its basic needs are being met, including exercise and
socialization.
Your dog is feeling stressed.
On the other hand, uncontrollable tail-chasing behavior could be a
warning sign that your dog is anxious or stressed.38.( ) By the
way, this fruitless and frustrating behavior is what led to the saying
“like a dog chasing its tail”.
Your dog wants your attention.
Tail-chasing is actually a go-to behavior for young dogs who are
playing and learning about their bodies.And it’s hard not to smile when
you see this happening, especially in puppies, because it’s funny and
adorable.But this type of response can cause your pup to keep doing it.Try
not to encourage this behavior.39.( )
Your dog may have intestinal parasites (肠道寄生虫).
This is another common reason why dogs chase their tails.It’s also a
reason why dogs chew their tails, too.Infections are generally common
in young dogs and can even be deadly in some puppies if left
untreated.40.( ) If your dog is chasing their tail a lot, it’s best
to rule out any medical issues first, so always get in touch with your vet
who will be able to examine them and find the root of the problem.
A. Your dog wants exercise.
B. Your dog is expressing its emotion.
C. Your pup will form the habit of tail chasing.
D. Instead, provide a distraction by giving your dog a new toy or going
on a walk.
E. Find out what’s at the root of your dog’s anxiety and then address
that problem.
F. Common types of parasites include tapeworms, roundworms,
hookworms and so on.
G. If a dog doesn’t have anything or anyone to play with, it might need
to entertain itself.

Mini has loved animals since childhood.She turned vegetarian when
she was 11 years old after she saw a chicken being 41 while she was
playing with her cousins in a farm.
Volunteering at animal protection homes in the US was an eye-
opening experience, which affected her deeply.One day in 2006 she
saw 42 being tied in chains inside the cage and sitting in their own
urine (尿液).Astonished by the dogs’ living conditions, she wrote
an email, attached some 43 , and sent them to Thompson working
in the World Animal Protection.However, Thompson told her to 44
complaining and start working.So Mini formed a 45 called HAS
whose aim was not just to 46 the suffering of animals, but also
introduce the concept of companionship and 47 through awareness.
What started off with Mini, her husband, and two other vets, is

How to Live a Green Life
参考范文:
How to Live a Green Life
Today, we are faced with severe environmental problems, which
deserve our attention.As students, there are plenty of things we can do to
live a green life.
Above all, it’s important to change our bad living habits.For
example, don’t leave the tap running while brushing our teeth or leave
the house with the lights still on.What’s more, we’d better cycle or
use public transport to school instead of taking a car, thus reducing air
pollution.Finally, get rid of plastic bags.Instead, bring your own bags
or baskets.
All in all, it’s high time that we should take immediate
action.Only when we live a green life can we make a difference to saving
our planet.
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。
Josie and I wanted a dog more than anything else on the earth.We
wished for one every time we threw coins in a fountain or watched the
evening star drop behind the trees.However, our mother believed that we
were still too thoughtless to take on the task of raising a pet.She had
witnessed our forgetfulness on household chores and getting into small
conflicts.In her eyes, these were signs that we lacked the necessary
responsibility.
One summer night, as we sat together on the roof, Josie saw
something.She pointed down toward a dark shadow, “What’s
that?”
For one astonishing second, Josie and I stared at each other.Then
we rushed down onto the doorway.There in our yard stood a black
dog.Josie made a little kissing noise and held out her hand.The dog came
to us slowly, taking a few steps forward, then a step back, not sure
whether to trust us.She was so skinny that I could just feel every bone,
and her coat was messy.
“We’re going to have a dog!” My inside was full of
excitement, just like before Christmas or our birthday.
“What’s a good name?” said Josie.
The perfect name wrote itself in my mind, “Shadow!”
The next day, we piled together all the pocket money we had to buy
all kinds of dog food and hid it in various places because we were afraid
Mom wouldn’t approve if she knew we were feeding a homeless dog.
That night, after our parents were asleep, we silently slipped
downstairs to feed Shadow.We carefully poured the dog food into the
bowl, trying to make as little noise as possible.Shadow, who had been
waiting eagerly by our side, wagged her tail.As we placed the bowl on
the floor, a creaking (吱吱的) sound filled the house.Suddenly, the
kitchen light was switched on, illuminating the room and revealing our
shocked faces.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
It was our mother, standing there surprisingly.
Mom decided to give us a chance to prove we could be responsible
owners.
参考范文:
It was our mother, standing there surprisingly. Her eyes widened as
she saw the scene before her.For a moment, there was silence, only
with the creaking sound still lingering in the air.Stammering, we tried to
explain to her.We told her about how we found Shadow and our longing
for a dog, hoping that somehow our mother would understand it.After a
long pause, she finally spoke, “I can see how much you both care for
Shadow, and maybe it’s time for us to give her a home.”
Mom decided to give us a chance to prove we could be responsible
owners. From that day on, we poured our hearts into taking care of
Shadow.We woke up early every morning to take her for walks and
diligently cleaned up after her.Gradually, Shadow transformed before
our eyes.Her coat became shiny and healthy, and she gained weight.She
followed us everywhere like a second Shadow.Not only had we achieved
our dream of having a dog, we had also earned our mother’s trust and
respect.
