in
Australia
have
burned
more
than
12.35
million
acres
of
land.
At
least
25
people
have
been
killed
and
2000
homes
destroyed这个季节，澳大利亚的森林大火已经烧毁了1235万英亩的土地。至少25人死亡，2000间房屋被毁。本段数据表明森林大火产生的严重后果。
5．答案与解析：C 词句猜测题。由第二段“Zeke
Hausfather,
an
energy
systems
analyst
and
climate
researcher
at
Berkeley
Earth,
said
warmer
temperatures
and
extreme
weather
have
made
Australia
more
susceptible_to
fires
and
increased
the
length
of
the
fire
season.”(加州大字伯克利分校地球分校的能源系统分析师萨福尔说，气温升高和极端天气使澳大利亚更容易发生火灾，并延长了火的长度。)可推测气温升高和极端天气更容易发生火灾，more
susceptible
to意为“更容易受到”与C项Very
likely
to“对……可能”意思相近。故选C项。
6．答案与解析：A 推理判断题。由第三段He
said
that
once
an
area
experiences
drought
conditions
for
two
months
or
more,
it
increases
the
risk
of
fires
catching
and
spreading.
Those
changing
weather
patterns
due
to
global
warming
make
drought
events
longer.(他说，一旦一个地区经历了两个月或更长时间的干旱，它就会增加火灾蔓延的风险。那些由于全球变暖而改变的天气使得干旱持续的时间更长。)可推断，全球气候变暖是森林火灾的根本原因。
7．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。由第四段Practices
like
controlled
burns
and
other
factors
can
impact
the
risk
to
people
and
property,
such

warning
systems
and
the
type
of
development
in
a
given
area.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在火星上人类不敢去涉足的地方实际上是探索起来对人们有很多帮助的地方。美国国家航空航天局禁止航天器访问可能存在液态水、生命可能繁衍的地方，以免地球微生物污染火星。但实际上对火星上含盐液体的分析表明，人类所知道的生命应该不可能存在于火星表面的任何地方。访问火星上一些有禁令的地区将特别有帮助，因为虽然它们理论上是火星上最脆弱的地区，但可以帮人类解开谜题。
8．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“NASA
forbids
spacecraft
from
visiting
spots
that
possibly
host
liquid
water,
and

where
life
might
be
able
to
thrive,
for
fear
of
contaminating

with
Earth
microbes.”可知，美国宇航局禁止宇宙飞船访问火星上的特殊区域，是因为担心地球微生物污染火星。故选C。
9．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Life
as
we
know
it
is
not
going
to
find
these
brines
and
survive
because
it's
either
going
to
be
way
too
cold
or
way
too
salty”可知，地球微生物不可能污染火星，因为火星表面要么太冷，要么太咸。因此B项说法正确。故选B。
10．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“A
quick
visit
by
Curiosity,
which
is
near
an
area
where
the
flows
often
form,
could
solve
it
once
and
for
all.”可推知，访问火星上那些特殊区域可以帮助人们解决许多火星之谜。故选C。
11．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Any
water
on
the
surface
is
likely
to
be
salty,
simply
because
the
surface
is.”得知火星表面是否是咸的，故排除A项；根据第五段中的“Life
as
we
know
it
is
not
going
to
find
these
brines
and
survive
because
it's
either
going
to
be
way
too
cold
or
way
too
salty”可知，地球生物不能在火星上生存，故排除C项；根据第六段最后一句“Nevertheless,
as
long
as
we
don't
dig
down,
it
might
be
highly
unlikely
or
even
impossible
for
rovers
such
as
Curiosity
to
contaminate
Mars.”可知，好奇号不会对火星造成污染，故排除D项。文章中没有提及“火星上是否有生命存在”，所以这个描述是无法判断的。故选B。

12．答案与解析：D 考查细节理解。根据第一段最后一句“However,
the
rise
in
average
water
temperatures
due
to
climate
change
has
resulted
in
more
frequent
and
longtime
‘coral
bleaching’(白化现象)
events
that
damage
their
health,
causing
fish
and
other
sea
species
to
abandon
them.”句意：然而，气候变化使平均水温上升，造成了更频繁和更长期的“珊瑚白化现象”，这损害了它们的健康，导致鱼类和其他海洋物种抛弃它们。根据关键句可知，上升的温度导致了珊瑚礁白化现象。故选D。
13．答案与解析：D 考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句“In
order
to
restore
this
delicate
ecosystem,
scientists
from
the
UK
and
Australia
conducted
a
study
that
involved
using
loudspeakers
underwater
near
damaged
coral
reefs
to
make
them
sound
healthy
and
attract
fish,
potentially
kick?starting
the
natural
recovery
process
of
coral
reefs
and
their
dependent
life
forms.”句意：为了恢复这一脆弱的生态系统，来自英国和澳大利亚的科学家们进行了一项研究，其中包括在受损珊瑚礁附近的水下使用扩音器，使珊瑚礁“听”起来健康，吸引鱼类，这可能会启动珊瑚礁及其依赖的生命形式的自然恢复过程。该题问的是为了恢复珊瑚礁采用了什么方法。根据关键句可知，为了恢复珊瑚礁，科学家在受损珊瑚礁附近的水下播放一些声音吸引鱼类。故选D。
14．答案与解析：C 考查推理判断。根据第三段“‘Healthy
coral
reefs
are
remarkably
noisy
places—the
crackle
of
snapping
shrimp
and
the
whoops
and
grunts
of
fish.
Young
fish
concentrate
on
these
sounds
when
they're
looking
for
a
place
to
settle，’
said
Steve
Simpson,
study
co?author
and
a
professor
at
the
University
of
Exeter,
UK.”句意：研究合著者、英国埃克塞特大学教授Steve
Simpson说：“健康的珊瑚礁是非常嘈杂的地方，这里有鼓虾的噼啪声和鱼的咕噜声。幼鱼在寻找栖息地时会把注意力集中在这些声音上。”该题问的是为什么要引用Steve
Simpson的话。根据关键句可推知，引用Steve
Simpson的话是为了解释使用新方法的原因。故选C。
15．答案与解析：C 考查推理判断。根据最后一段第一句“By
using
loudspeakers
to
copy
such
sounds,
parts
of
dead
coral
reefs
were
found
to
attract
twice
as
many
fish,
compared
to
places
where
no
sounds
were
played.”句意：通过使用扩音器来模仿这些声音，人们发现，与没有播放声音的地方相比，部分死去的珊瑚礁吸引的鱼是前者的两倍。该题问的是我们从最后一段中可以推断出什么。根据关键句可推知，这个方法已经取得初步的成功。故选C。

根据下文“Later,
an
adult
may
struggle
with
self?regulation,

ability
wasn't
developed
during
childhood,

of
a
lack
of
skill
in
managing
difficult
feelings.”可知，下文主要讲述的是成年人的情况，所以此处讲的是孩子的情况。故C项符合语境。故选C。
19．答案与解析：E'
根据下文“One
of
the
most
frequently
used
methods
is
to
change
your
thought
patterns,

about
a
situation
in
a
positive
way,
rather
than

that's
likely
to
increase
negative
emotions.”可知，下文讲述的是自我调节的方法。E项说我们应该学会使用这项技能，与下文讲述自我调节的方法连接自然，符合语境。故选E。

一、阅读理解（每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Every
summer,
my
family
and
I
visit
our
relatives
in
India
and
whenever
we
travel,
my
parents
always
remind
me
to
drink
only
bottled
or
boiled
water.
On
one
of
my
trips
to
India,
I
saw
children
drinking
water
from
the
roadside.
I
was
troubled
to
learn
that
millions
of
people,
most
of
them
children
in
developing
countries,
die
each
year
because
of
water?related
diseases.
Living
in
the
US,
I
am
lucky
to
be
able
to
turn
on
the
tap
and
get
potable
water
(饮用水),
while
one
sixth
of
the
world's
population
lacks
access
to
clean
water.
This
year,
I
entered
the
Discovery
Education
3M
Young
Scientist
Challenge.
In
late
June,
I
learnt
that
I
was
selected
as
one
of
the
top
10
national
finalists
of
this
famous
middle
school
science
competition.
Over
the
summer,
I
worked
with
Dr
Jim
Jonza,
my
scientist
mentor
(导师)
from
3M,
and
developed
a
system
that
uses
solar
energy
to
purify
water.
My
invention
is
green
and
cost?effective,
and
I
am
looking
forward
to
implementing
this
in
places
that
are
affected
by
harmful
water
pollution.
In
October,
my
family
and
I
flew
to
3M
headquarters
in
St
Paul,
Minnesota,
where
the
final
event
was
to
be
held.
For
the
last
challenge,
each
of
us
had
to
present
the
invention
we
had
been
working
on
over
the
summer.
The
first
place
winner
would
win
$25,000,
a
trip
to
Costa
Rica,
and
the
title
of
America's
Top
Young
Scientist.
At
the
awards
ceremony,
all
of
us
waited
anxiously
until
one
of
the
judges,
Danny
Forester,
started
announcing
“The
winner
of
the
Discovery
Education
3M
Young
Scientist
Challenge
is...”
You
could
hear
a
pin
(大头针)
drop
as
he
opened
the
paper
with
the
winner's
name,
“Deepika
Kurup！”
As
America's
Top
Young
Scientist,
I
was
given
an
opportunity
to
show
my
invention
on
national
television
and
deliver
several
presentations.
One
of
the
most
important
things
I
have
learnt
is
that
communication
and
teamwork
are
key
to
success.
1．Why
does
the
author
mention
her
visits
to
India?
A．To
express
her
great
love
for
India.
B．To
show
the
problem
of
unclean
water.
C．To
explain
the

[2021·山东一模]This
season,
the
bushfires
in
Australia
have
burned
more
than
12.35
million
acres
of
land.
At
least
25
people
have
been
killed
and
2,000
homes
destroyed.
According
to
the
BBC,
this
is
the
most
casualties(伤亡)from
wildfires
in
the
country
since
2009.
The
University
of
Sydney
estimates
that
480
million
animals
have
died
in
South
Wales
alone.
Zeke
Hausfather,
an
energy
systems
analyst
and
climate
researcher
at
Berkeley
Earth,
said
warmer
temperatures
and
extreme
weather
have
made
Australia
more
susceptible_to
fires
and
increased
the
length
of
the
fire
season.
“The
drier
conditions
combined
with
record
high
temperatures
in
2019
created
main
conditions
for
the
disastrous
fires.
Australia's
fires
were
worsened
by
the
combination
of
those
two.
2019
was
the
perfect
storm
for
being
the
warmest
year
on
record
for
Australia
and
the
driest
year
on
record
for
Australia，”
Hausfather
added
on
Friday.
Kevin
Trenberth,
a
senior
scientist
at
the
US
National
Center
for
Atmospheric
Research,
said
warmer
ocean
temperatures
are
also
contributed
to
more
variable
weather
around
the
world.
Trenberth
believes
that
global
warming
contributed
to
energy
imbalances
and
hot
spots
in
the
oceans,
which
can
create
a
wave
in
the
atmosphere
that
locks
weather
patterns
in
places,
causing
longer
rain
events
in
Indonesia,
for
example,
and
at
the
same
time
contributing
to
drought
in
Australia.
He
said
that
once
an
area
experiences
drought
conditions
for
two
months
or
more,
it
increases
the
risk
of
fires
catching
and
spreading.
Those
changing
weather
patterns
due
to
global
warming
make
drought
events
longer.
Climate
experts
stress
that
climate
change
is
not
the
only
factor
in
the
severity
of
wildfires.
How
land
is
managed
can
also
impact
the
amount
of
fuel
available
for
fires.
Practices
like
controlled
burns
and
other
factors
can
impact
the
risk
to
people
and
property,
such
as
warning
systems
and
the
type
of
development
in
a
given
area.
Changing
those
policies
has
great
potential
to
limit
future
damage
from
wildfires
along
with
changes
to
how
fire
management
resources
are
dispatched(派遣)．

[2021·盐城模拟]There
are
certain
areas
on
Mars
where
we
don't
dare
tread.
NASA
forbids
spacecraft
from
visiting
spots
that
possibly
host
liquid
water,
and
so
where
life
might
be
able
to
thrive,
for
fear
of
contaminating
(感染)
Mars
with
Earth
microbes.
But
an
analysis
of
the
salty
liquids
on
Mars
suggests
we
needn't
worry,
because
life
as
we
know
it
should
be
unable
to
exist
anywhere
on
the
planet's
surface.
Edgard
Rivera?Valentin
at
the
Lunar
and
Planetary
Institutein
Texas
and
his
colleagues
used
readings
of
the
temperature
and
relative
humidity
across
Mars
to
map
the
presence
of
salty
water.
Any
water
on
the
surface
is
likely
to
be
salty,
simply
because
the
surface
is.
This
boosts
the
chances
of
water
being
liquid
because
salt
lowers
its
freezing
point.
It
is
like
when
you
throw
salt
on
an
icy
sidewalk,
says
Danielle
Nuding
at
NASA's
Jet
Propulsion
Laboratory
in
California.
“It's
the
same
chemistry
happening.”
Unfortunately,
the
saltier
the
water,
the
less
likely
anything
can
survive
in
it.
The
team
found
that
even
though
there
could
be
briny
(盐分多的)
water
on
the
surface
of
Mars
up
to
18
per
cent
of
the
year,
depending
on
the
season,
no
microbe
we
have
ever
seen
on
Earth
would
be
able
to
reproduce
there.
Life
as
we
know
it
is
not
going
to
find
these
brines
and
survive
because
it's
either
going
to
be
way
too
cold
or
way
too
salty，”
says
Rivera?Valentin,
who
presented
the
results
at
the
Lunar
and
Planetary
Science
Conference
in
Texas.
That
doesn't
mean
we
can't
contaminate
Mars:
brines
with
different
types
of
salts
mixed
together
might
be
friendlier
to
life
and
temperatures
just
below
the
surface
are
much
less
extreme.
Nevertheless,
as
long
as
we
don't
dig
down,
it
might
be
highly
unlikely
or
even
impossible
for
rovers
(飞行器)
such
as
Curiosity
to
contaminate
Mars.
“The
level
of
sterilization
(杀菌)
that
we've
done
with
Curiosity
should
be
good
enough
to
ignore
the
ban
on
visiting
what
we've
been
calling
special
regions
until
now,
says
Jennifer
Hanley
at
Lowell
Observatory
in
Arizona.
I
think
that
we're
OK
to
go.
Visiting
these
regions
would
be
particularly
helpful
because,
while
they
are
in
theory
the
most
vulnerable
areas
on
Mars,
they
are
also
the
most
interesting.
For
example,
arguments
have
been
raging
for
over
a
decade
about
whether
dark
streaks
on
Martian
slopes
called
recurring
slope
lineae
are
flowing
water
or
just
dust.
A
quick
visit
by
Curiosity,
which
is
near
an
area
where
the
flows
often
form,
could
solve
it
once
and
for
all.
Even
if
areas
with
water
are
inhospitable
to
Earth
life,
they
could
still
be
home
to
native
Martian
life
forms.
“If
you
had
life
that
originated
on
Mars
when
it
was
more
habitable,
it
could
be
that
as
Mars
changed,
life
could
have
gradually
adapted
to
the
new,
more
extreme
conditions，”
says
Rivera?Valentin.
8．NASA
forbids

9．Which
of
the
following
statements
is
true?
A．Mars
surface
being
salty
provides
evidence
that
Mars
hosts
liquid
water.
B．Earth
life
is
unlikely
to
contaminate
Mars
because
the
surface
of
the
planet
is
either
too
cold
or
too

C．The
fear
of
contaminating
Mars
is
unnecessary
because
human

[2021·
潍坊、淄博、东营市高三模拟]Coral
reefs
(珊瑚礁)
are
an
integral
part
of
sea
life
and
sustain
it
by
providing
shelter
and
habitat
to
various
organisms.
They
also
supply
and
recycle
nutrients
as
well
as
enable
a
growing
fish
population,
along
with
other
species,
for
a
healthy
and
diverse
ecosystem.
However,
the
rise
in
average
water
temperatures
due
to
climate
change
has
resulted
in
more
frequent
and
longtime
“coral
bleaching”
(白化现象)
events
that
damage
their
health,
causing
fish
and
other
sea
species
to
abandon
them.
In
order
to
restore
this
delicate
ecosystem,
scientists
from
the
UK
and
Australia
conducted
a
study
that
involved
using
loudspeakers
underwater
near
damaged
coral
reefs
to
make
them
sound
healthy
and
attract
fish,
potentially
kick?starting
the
natural
recovery
process
of
coral
reefs
and
their
dependent
life
forms.
The
location
for
this
experiment
was
the
Great
Barrier
Reef
in
the
Coral
Sea,
found
alongside
the
east
coast
of
Queensland,
Australia.
The
site
is
noted
to
have
the
largest
coral
reef
system
in
the
world.
“Healthy
coral
reefs
are
remarkably
noisy
places—the
crackle
of
snapping
shrimp
and
the
whoops
and
grunts
of
fish.
Young
fish
concentrate
on
these
sounds
when
they're
looking
for
a
place
to
settle，”
said
Steve
Simpson,
study
co?author
and
a
professor
at
the
University
of
Exeter,
UK.
By
using
loudspeakers
to
copy
such
sounds,
parts
of
dead
coral
reefs
were
found
to
attract
twice
as
many
fish,
compared
to
places
where
no
sounds
were
played.
“These
returning
fish,
are
crucial
for
coral
reefs
to
function
as
healthy
ecosystems.
Boosting
fish
populations
in
this
way
could
help
to
kick?start
natural
recovery
processes,
preventing
the
damage
we're
seeing
on
many
coral
reefs
around
the
world，”
said

Tim
Gordon.
12．What
causes

A．Diverse
species.
B．Noise

In
the
most
basic
sense,
self?regulation
(自我调节)
involves
controlling
one's
behavior
and
thoughts
in
pursuit
(追求)
of
long?term
goals.
Generally,
people
who
are
good
at
self?regulation
tend
to
see
the
good
in
others
and
view
challenges
as
opportunities.
They
exactly
know
what
they
want
to
achieve,
act
in
accordance
with
their
views,
and
devote
their
best
effort.
__16__
__17__
A
bad?tempered
child
who
hits
others
won't
be
popular
at
school.
An
adult
with
poor
self?regulation
skills
may
lack
self?confidence.
He
may
have
difficulty
handling
stress,
and
often,
this
might
be
expressed
in
terms
of
anger
and
anxiety.
How
do
problems
with
self?regulation
develop?
It
could
start
early
when
a
baby
isn't
treated
with
enough
care.
__18__
Later,
an
adult
may
struggle
with
self?regulation,
either
because
this
ability
wasn't
developed
during
childhood,
or
because
of
a
lack
of
skill
in
managing
difficult
feelings.
When
left
unchecked,
over
time
this
could
lead
to
risky
behavior
such
as
taking
drugs.
__19__
One
of
the
most
frequently
used
methods
is
to
change
your
thought
patterns,
which
means
that
you
think
about
a
situation
in
a
positive
way,
rather
than
one
that's
likely
to
increase
negative
emotions.
__20__
Rather
than
thinking
that
this
reflects
something
about
yourself
such
as
“My
friend
hates
me”，
you
might
instead
think,
“My
friend
must
be
really
busy”．
A．Try
to
cheer
yourself
up
after
disappointment.
B．Do
the
usual
series
of
things
at
a
particular
time.
C．A
child
who
doesn't
feel
safe
may
have
trouble
self?regulating.
D．A
lack
of
self?regulation
will
cause
problems
in
life.
E．Anyhow,
self?regulation
is
so
important
that
we
should
learn
to
use
this
skill.
F．For
example,
imagine
a
friend
who
doesn't
return
your
calls
or
texts
for
several
days.
G．Also
they
can
calm
themselves
when
feeling
upset
and
cheer
themselves
when
feeling
down.

[2021·淄博模拟]It
was
the
hottest
time
of
the
year
in
southern
California.
Steve,
a
star
basketball
player
at
the
University
of
California,
with
his
cousin
Zach,
had
planned
a
camping
trip
in
the
Great
National
Forest
for
their
summer
vacation.
The
boys
gathered
clothes
and
supplies,
and
began
their
great
adventure
with
Brady
the
dog
early
in
the
morning.
Upon
arrival,
Steve
pulled
over
to
the
side
of
the
road
along
the
bank
of
the
river.
“A
wonderful
place
for
fishing，”
Steve
exclaimed
in
delight.
Zach
nodded
in
agreement.
At
high
noon,
the
sun
was
scorching
hot.
With
a
good
harvest
of
fish,
the
boys
marched
into
the
forest
with
Brady
following
them.
After
a
long
walk,
they
found
a
clearing
that
was
ideal
for
a
campsite.
The
camp
was
set
up
immediately
as
Steve
knew
all
the
tricks
of
an
experienced
wilderness
camper.
An
afternoon
nap
was
absolutely
a
special
treat
in
mid?summer.
However,
the
boys
were
waken
up
by
the
fierce
barks
of
Brady.
Outside,
heavy
smoke
filled
the
air
and
wind?blown
flame
was
skipping
from
the
top
of
one
tree
to
another.
The
long
dry
summer
turned
the
forest
into
a
tinderbox.
In
a
little
while,
Steve
and
Zach
were
inside
their
tent
packing
their
belongings.
“Let's
go!
We
can
make
it
back
to
the
river！”
They
headed
down
against
the
fire?wind
in
the
direction
of
the
river.
But
Brady
barked
a
sharp
warning.
Ahead
of
them
lay
a
thick
curtain
of
smoke
across
the
track.
They
would
never
make
it
through
that.
Steve
was
uneasy
for
it
was
hard
to
find
a
safe
way
to
escape
in
the
heavy
smoke.
Brady
lifted
his
head
and
snuffed
(嗅)
the
smoke?laden
wind.
Next
moment,
the
dog
bounded
away
and
disappeared
down
a
sharp
slope
(坡).
The
boys
shouted
for
him,
but
he
didn't
come
back.
Steve
couldn't
blame
Brady
for
panicking.
He
himself
wanted
to
run
even
though
he
didn't
have
a
clue
which
way.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Steve
and
Zach
hadn't
gone
far
when
there
was
a
familiar
bark.

again,
in
spite
of
the
boy's
disbelief,
urgently.
