At a medical laboratory clinic in Waterloo, Ontario, an elderly woman sat on the edge of a waiting room chair belting out the Celine Dion tune My Heart Will Go On. With little effort, she was able to send her sweet, high-pitched voice exploding into every corner of the clinic. I had fun watching how people reacted. There was a lot of shifting in seats, but mainly they awkwardly turned away their eyes and tried to pretend there was nothing out of the ordinary going on.
I was there with my father, who was getting a routine blood test when the woman arrived. She settled into the seat directly across from my dad. I was concerned about how my dad would react to the possible interact on his space. He was 77 at the time and had been living with Alzheimer’s for several years. He was a brilliant, introverted man. When he was healthy, he considered it wholly bad mannered to bring more attention to oneself.
Her singing began gently, like a quiet hum. I glanced over at Dad. His smile was gone, and he was staring right at her. It seemed to be something like confusion. This wasn’t an unusual state for him, and I wondered whether he was actually seeing her at all or if he was lost somewhere deep in his mind, not really aware of her presence at that point.
Her singing slowly got louder. By the time she got to the chorus — “near, far, wherever you are…”, Dad looked a little stunned. Still, I watched for any sign of an irritated outburst. Instead, his face softened, and the tension eased in his brow. He no longer looked confused.
People say that Alzheimer’s is a thief, that it steals your loved ones slowly, day by day. There is so much heartbreaking truth in that statement. But certain experiences with my dad have allowed me to see a side of him that I never knew existed. That’s what happened for me that day in the clinic. When her song ended, the woman opened her eyes. My dad was still looking directly at her. “That was beautiful,” he said. And she smiled and said, “Thank you.”
4. How did people react to the elderly woman’s singing at the medical laboratory clinic?
A. They mainly looked away and ignored her.
B. They politely signaled to her to stop singing.
C. They enjoyed her singing and sang with her.
D. They felt quite annoyed and changed their seats immediately.
5. What do we know about the father in the text?
A. He was a shy man before getting Alzheimer’s.
B. He became annoyed on hearing the song.
C. He would like to sing with the woman.
D. He was getting a pre-operative test in the hospital.
6. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. I got to know that my father liked music.
B. Alzheimer’s steals many things from old people.
C. This song helped me understand more about my father.
D. Everyone with Alzheimer’s has experienced some bad moments.
7. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Singing for patients with Alzheimer’s.
B. Some heartbreaking truths about Alzheimer’s.
C. Dad’s reaction to a woman’s singing at the clinic.

Most people don’t think much about the food scraps (残羹剩饭) they throw away; however, researchers in Tokyo have developed a new method to reduce food waste by recycling deserted fruit and vegetable scraps into strong construction materials.
Worldwide industrial and household food waste amounts to hundreds of billions of pounds per year, a large proportion of which consists of edible scraps, like fruit and vegetable peels. This unsustainable practice is both costly and environmentally unfriendly, so researchers have been searching for new ways to recycle these organic materials into useful products.
“Our goal was to use seaweed and common food scraps to construct materials that were at least as strong as concrete,” explains Yuya Sakai, the senior author of the study.
The researchers borrowed a “heat pressing” concept that is typically used to make construction materials from wood powder, except they used vacuum-dried, pulverized food scraps, such as seaweed, cabbage leaves, and orange, onion, pumpkin, and banana peels as the component powders. The processing technique involved mixing the food powder with water and seasonings, and then pressing the mixture into a mold at high temperature. The researchers tested the bending strength of the resulting materials and monitored their taste, smell, and appearance.
“With the exception of the sample from pumpkin, all of the materials exceeded our bending strength target,” says Kota Machida, a senior collaborator. “We also found that Chinese cabbage leaves, which produced a material over three times stronger than concrete, could be mixed with the weaker pumpkin-based material to provide effective reinforcement.”
Given that food waste is a global financial burden and environmental concern, it is crucial to develop methods for recycling food scraps. Using these substances to prepare materials that are strong enough for construction projects, but also maintain their edible nature and taste, opens the door to a wide range of creative applications from the one technology.
8. Why do the researchers search for new ways to recycle organic materials?
A. Because they want to reduce waste and preserve the environment.
B. Because they want to make a fortune by recycling the food waste.
C. Because the construction of strong material needs much food waste.
D. Because the amount of food waste is too large to store at the moment.
9. Which step is NOT necessary in the process?
A. Press food scraps into powder. B. Improve the strength of Chinese cabbage.
C. Mix food powder with seasonings. D. Press the food powder at high temperature.
10. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Food Scraps Are Stronger Than Concrete B. Throw Away Food Scraps —A New Waste
C. Buildings With Food Scraps —A New Trend D. Turn Food Scraps Into Construction Materials
11. Where is the text probably from?
A. A food report. B. A biography book.
C. A recipe book. D. A science magazine.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】

D
In the far North, fire season usually doesn’t start until June, when snow has melted away and summer lightning storms sweep into the region. So scientist Sander Veraverbeke was confused when in May of 2016 he saw little patches of fire on some satellite images from Alaska and the Northwest Territories.
“I was like, what the hell is going on?” says Veraverbeke, an Earth scientist at the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
What he saw on the satellite images were “zombie fires,” remains of burns from the previous year that somehow stayed alive, smoldering underground, through the long, cold winter.
Zombie fires aren’t an entirely new phenomenon in the Arctic; fire managers have noted occasional flare-ups in past decades. But Veraverbeke’s team found that their occurrences are tightly linked to climate change, happening more often after hot, long summers with lots of fire and suggesting that these still-rare events could become more frequent.
“The sheer fact that this is happening is evidence for how quickly the region is changing,” he says.
Like all forests, the wooded stretches of the Arctic sometimes catch on fire. But unlike many forests in the mid-latitudes, which thrive on or even require fire to preserve their health, Arctic forests have evolved to burn only infrequently.
Climate change is reshaping that mode. In the first decade of the new millennium, fires burned 50 percent more acreage each year in the Arctic, on average, than any decade in the 1900s. Between 2010 and 2020, burned acreage continued to creep up, particularly in Alaska, which had its second worst fire year ever in 2015 and another bad one in 2019. Scientists have found that fire frequency today is higher than at any time since the formation of boreal (北极的) forests some 3,000 years ago, and potentially higher than at any point in the last 10,000 years.
12. Why did Sander Veraverbeke feel puzzled?
A. Because he saw something unusual from some newspaper pictures.
B. Because he didn’t realize there were zombie fires in the Arctic.
C. Because the fires started burning earlier than he previously expected.
D. Because there was much snow in Alaska and the Northwest Territories.
13. What does the underlined word “smoldering” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Burning B. Releasing C. Exploding D. Weakening
14. What can we know about the fires in the Arctic?
A. They play a role in preserving the forests.
B. Zombie fires are a new discovery of Sander Veraverbeke.
C. Zombie fires tend to happen after hot summers with lots of fire.
D. They burned 50 percent of the area in the Arctic between 2000 and 2010.
15. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To help readers learn about the Arctic. B. To show concern about climate change.
C. To call on people to control zombie fires. D. To warn readers of the dangers of zombie fires.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了北方火灾季节发生比之前更早，介绍了研究人员对此的看法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In the far North, fire season usually doesn’t start until June, when snow has melted away and summer lightning storms sweep into the region. So scientist Sander Veraverbeke was confused when in May of 2016 he saw little patches of fire on some satellite images from Alaska and the Northwest Territories.(在遥远的北方，火灾季节通常要到6月才开始，那时雪已经融化，夏季闪电风暴席卷该地区。因此，当科学家Sander Veraverbeke在2016年5月从阿拉斯加和西北地区的一些卫星图像上看到小块的火时，他感到困惑)”可知，Sander Veraverbeke感到困惑是因为火势比他之前预期的要早。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“What he saw on the satellite images were “zombie fires,” remains of burns from the previous year that somehow stayed alive”可知，他在卫星图像上看到的是“僵尸火”，即前一年的烧伤残留物，不知怎么还活着，在漫长而寒冷的冬天里在地下燃烧着。故画线词意思是“燃烧”。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“But Veraverbeke’s team found that their occurrences are tightly linked to climate change, happening more often after hot, long summers with lots of fire and suggesting that these still-rare events could become more frequent.(但Veraverbeke的团队发现，它们的发生与气候变化密切相关，在炎热、漫长、有很多火的夏天发生得更频繁，这表明这些仍然罕见的事件可能会变得更加频繁)”可知，僵尸火往往发生在炎热的夏天，火灾很多。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Climate change is reshaping that mode. In the first decade of the new millennium, fires burned 50 percent more acreage each year in the Arctic, on average, than any decade in the 1900s. Between 2010 and 2020, burned acreage continued to creep up, particularly in Alaska, which had its second worst fire year ever in 2015 and another bad one in 2019. Scientists have found that fire frequency today is higher than at any time since the formation of boreal (北极的) forests some 3,000 years ago, and potentially higher than at any point in the last 10,000 years.(气候变化正在重塑这种模式。在新千年的第一个十年里，北极地区每年的火灾面积平均比20世纪的任何十年都多50%。在2010年至2020年期间，燃烧面积继续攀升，尤其是在阿拉斯加，2015年和2019年分别发生了史上第二严重的火灾。科学家们发现，今天的火灾频率比大约3000年前北方森林形成以来的任何时候都要高，而且可能比过去1万年中的任何时候都要高)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是表达对气候变化的关注。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We need to be conscious of the fact that people around us influence us in subtle ways that may encourage us, or hamper it. Motivational speaker Jim Rohn famously said, “You’re the average of the five people you spend most of your time with”. ___16___
If this “circle” of people is goal-driven, and encouraging, we can experience a positive impact on our actions. On the other hand, if the people around us are negative and restrictive, we may subconsciously “live-up” to these qualities and stop our own personal growth in the process.
___17___
How do you identify who is influencing you? Be mindful of the conversations you have with people and the activities you engage in with them. What are the opinions that dominate in your social group? ___18___If there is a discrepancy between what you are and where you want to be, look at your circle of five and you will see how instrumental they are in influencing your path. Identify and exclude time and energy vampires from your circle of five.
Nourish your circle
Once you identify the people who belong to your reference group, it is important to nourish these relationships. ___19___ Different individuals evolve at a different pace. The important part is to be aware of this living and changing “circle of five”. Of course, five is a rough guide. It could be slightly more or less. Let this circle of five motivate you, help you gain courage, and take the right actions.
___20___ Play this role sincerely and demonstrate a growth mindset to anyone who lists you as part of their circle of five.
A. Know your circle
B. Dominate your circle
C. Over time, this core circle may change.
D. It means that this “circle” can help you live a better life.
E. The influence of those around us can be quite significant.
F. Also remember, just like others influence you, you also have an influence on others.
G. What are the similarities between you and the five people you are constantly close to?
【答案】16. E 17. A 18. G 19. C 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。我们周围的人以微妙的方式影响我们，文章主要介绍了如何利用它让自己过上更好的生活。
【16题详解】
根据后文“If this “circle” of people is goal-driven, and encouraging, we can experience a positive impact on our actions. On the other hand, if the people around us are negative and restrictive, we may subconsciously “live-up” to these qualities and stop our own personal growth in the process.(如果这个“圈子”的人是目标驱动的，鼓励的，我们可以体验到对我们的行为的积极影响。另一方面，如果我们周围的人是消极的和限制性的，我们可能会下意识地“活”这些品质，并在这个过程中停止我们自己的个人成长)”可知，周围的人可以影响我们的个人成长，即对我们的影响巨大。故E选项“我们周围的人的影响可能相当大”符合语境，故选E。
【17题详解】
根据本段内容“How do you identify who is influencing you? Be mindful of the conversations you have with people and the activities you engage in with them. What are the opinions that dominate in your social group?(你如何确定谁在影响你？注意你和人们的对话和你参与的活动。在你的社会群体中占主导地位的观点是什么？)”可知，后文的问句说明要详细了解你的圈子。故A选项“了解你的圈子”符合语境，故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上文“How do you identify who is influencing you? Be mindful of the conversations you have with people and the activities you engage in with them. What are the opinions that dominate in your social group?(你如何确定谁在影响你？注意你和人们的对话和你参与的活动。在你的社会群体中占主导地位的观点是什么？)”以后文“If there is a discrepancy between what you are and where you want to be, look at your circle of five and you will see how instrumental they are in influencing your path. Identify and exclude time and energy vampires from your circle of five.(如果你的现状和你想要达到的目标之间存在差异，看看你的五个人的圈子，你会发现他们对你的道路有多么重要。从你的5个圈子中找出并排除时间和精力吸血鬼)”可知，本句与上文都是设问句，结合后文可知本句主要是关于周围五个人的设问。故G选项“你和这五个人有什么相似之处？”符合语境，故选G。
【19题详解】
根据后文“Different individuals evolve at a different pace. The important part is to be aware of this living and changing “circle of five”.(不同的个体以不同的速度进化。重要的部分是要意识到这个活的和变化的“五人圈”)”可知，本句总结后文，指出随着时间推移，核心圈会发生变化。故C选项“随着时间的推移，这个核心圈可能会发生变化。”符合语境，故选C。
【20题详解】
根据后文“Play this role sincerely and demonstrate a growth mindset to anyone who lists you as part of their circle of five.(真诚地扮演这个角色，向那些把你列为“五人圈”一员的人展示你的成长心态)”可知，后文提到要展示成长心态，说明自己也会影响别人。故F选项“还要记住，就像别人影响你一样，你也影响着别人”符合语境，故选F。

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 mum and grandma drove me to a 5km race. There was a fierce thunderstorm, and when we got there, I had to wait for it to pass beneath an overhang (屋檐) with the other runners. I started to feel a little nervous, because some of the people there looked really fast. They had proper running shoes and long skinny legs. They were all different ages. I wasn’t wearing running clothes; just a normal T-shirt and shorts.
An hour after the official start time even though it was still raining, the race organisers said we could go. That morning, I was running confidently and feeling strong. The route went through a neighbourhood and there were quite a few people cheering us on, but I didn’t see any faces I knew. It started to pour again, but I love running in the rain: It keeps me cool and I can keep going for longer, even when I get tired, when I run, I don’t wear a watch to see what distance I’m at；I just focus on moving, breathing and how my body feels.
At one point, I came to a split (分叉) in the course. A woman who was directing us blocked off (封锁) the route which I was meant to take and told me to go the other way, so I followed her directions.
I was confused, but just kept running. I knew I must be close to finishing the 5km, but I couldn’t see the finishing line. After a while I saw route directions for a 10km race. I was worried and thought I was lost, but had to keep going. My body started to get tired and my muscles a little sore. I said to myself, “You’re almost there. Just keep breathing.” Eventually I saw the finishing line and spotted my mum. She looked angry. I got past the line and she was yelling, “Why did you do this, Kade? You are in so much trouble.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右。
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I learned why my mum was angry later.

My mum went up to the lady who was timing the race.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I learned why my mum was angry later. When she didn’t see me at the 5km finishing line, she and my grandma had gone looking for me and couldn’t find me anywhere. They thought something bad had happened. She’d even given a photograph of me to a fireman, before someone said they’d spotted me in the 10km. I said, “I didn’t do this on purpose, Mum! It was a mistake.” She calmed down when she realised I hadn’t intentionally done it. I felt bad that I had worried her.
My mum went up to the lady who was timing the race. She told my mum, “He finished first. He won the race.” It’s funny, because in the pictures of the finish, there is no one in front of or behind me. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t even know I was running a 10km and I had won it. My mum and my grandma were so excited and kept hugging me. I was still trying to catch my breath. I felt so happy and proud. It was my first time running such a distance.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一次5公里赛跑的过程中，偶遇雷雨天气，即使没有穿专业的跑步服，作者仍然很专注。在一个分叉口，听从了一个女人的指挥，作者错过了5公里的终点线，继续跑到了10公里的终点。妈妈因为在预计的5公里终点线找不到作者，开始搜寻并担心作者。得到了别人给的信息，妈妈等在了10公里的终点线，并且很生气质问作者，作者向妈妈解释了原因，得到了谅解，妈妈和计时员了解到作者优异的成绩，大家都很高兴。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“后来我才知道妈妈为什么生气。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈生气的原因和作者做出的解释。
②由第二段首句内容“我妈妈走到给比赛计时的女士跟前。”可知第二段可描写计时人员告诉妈妈比赛结果以及妈妈，奶奶和作者的反应。
2.续写线索：妈妈对作者跑过5英里终点线感到生气——作者给出解释——得到妈妈谅解——妈妈走到计时员面前询问结果——得到好成绩，皆大欢喜

B
At a medical laboratory clinic in Waterloo, Ontario, an elderly woman sat on the edge of a waiting room chair belting out the Celine Dion tune My Heart Will Go On. With little effort, she was able to send her sweet, high-pitched voice exploding into every corner of the clinic. I had fun watching how people reacted. There was a lot of shifting in seats, but mainly they awkwardly turned away their eyes and tried to pretend there was nothing out of the ordinary going on.
I was there with my father, who was getting a routine blood test when the woman arrived. She settled into the seat directly across from my dad. I was concerned about how my dad would react to the possible interact on his space. He was 77 at the time and had been living with Alzheimer’s for several years. He was a brilliant, introverted man. When he was healthy, he considered it wholly bad mannered to bring more attention to oneself.
Her singing began gently, like a quiet hum. I glanced over at Dad. His smile was gone, and he was staring right at her. It seemed to be something like confusion. This wasn’t an unusual state for him, and I wondered whether he was actually seeing her at all or if he was lost somewhere deep in his mind, not really aware of her presence at that point.
Her singing slowly got louder. By the time she got to the chorus — “near, far, wherever you are…”, Dad looked a little stunned. Still, I watched for any sign of an irritated outburst. Instead, his face softened, and the tension eased in his brow. He no longer looked confused.
People say that Alzheimer’s is a thief, that it steals your loved ones slowly, day by day. There is so much heartbreaking truth in that statement. But certain experiences with my dad have allowed me to see a side of him that I never knew existed. That’s what happened for me that day in the clinic. When her song ended, the woman opened her eyes. My dad was still looking directly at her. “That was beautiful,” he said. And she smiled and said, “Thank you.”
4. How did people react to the elderly woman’s singing at the medical laboratory clinic?
A. They mainly looked away and ignored her.
B. They politely signaled to her to stop singing.
C. They enjoyed her singing and sang with her.
D. They felt quite annoyed and changed their seats immediately.
5. What do we know about the father in the text?
A. He was a shy man before getting Alzheimer’s.
B. He became annoyed on hearing the song.
C. He would like to sing with the woman.
D. He was getting a pre-operative test in the hospital.
6. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. I got to know that my father liked music.
B. Alzheimer’s steals many things from old people.
C. This song helped me understand more about my father.
D. Everyone with Alzheimer’s has experienced some bad moments.
7. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Singing for patients with Alzheimer’s.
B. Some heartbreaking truths about Alzheimer’s.
C. Dad’s reaction to a woman’s singing at the clinic.
D. An elderly woman’s beautiful singing at the clinic.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. C
【解析】

Most people don’t think much about the food scraps (残羹剩饭) they throw away; however, researchers in Tokyo have developed a new method to reduce food waste by recycling deserted fruit and vegetable scraps into strong construction materials.
Worldwide industrial and household food waste amounts to hundreds of billions of pounds per year, a large proportion of which consists of edible scraps, like fruit and vegetable peels. This unsustainable practice is both costly and environmentally unfriendly, so researchers have been searching for new ways to recycle these organic materials into useful products.
“Our goal was to use seaweed and common food scraps to construct materials that were at least as strong as concrete,” explains Yuya Sakai, the senior author of the study.
The researchers borrowed a “heat pressing” concept that is typically used to make construction materials from wood powder, except they used vacuum-dried, pulverized food scraps, such as seaweed, cabbage leaves, and orange, onion, pumpkin, and banana peels as the component powders. The processing technique involved mixing the food powder with water and seasonings, and then pressing the mixture into a mold at high temperature. The researchers tested the bending strength of the resulting materials and monitored their taste, smell, and appearance.
“With the exception of the sample from pumpkin, all of the materials exceeded our bending strength target,” says Kota Machida, a senior collaborator. “We also found that Chinese cabbage leaves, which produced a material over three times stronger than concrete, could be mixed with the weaker pumpkin-based material to provide effective reinforcement.”
Given that food waste is a global financial burden and environmental concern, it is crucial to develop methods for recycling food scraps. Using these substances to prepare materials that are strong enough for construction projects, but also maintain their edible nature and taste, opens the door to a wide range of creative applications from the one technology.
8. Why do the researchers search for new ways to recycle organic materials?
A. Because they want to reduce waste and preserve the environment.
B. Because they want to make a fortune by recycling the food waste.
C. Because the construction of strong material needs much food waste.
D. Because the amount of food waste is too large to store at the moment.
9. Which step is NOT necessary in the process?
A. Press food scraps into powder. B. Improve the strength of Chinese cabbage.
C. Mix food powder with seasonings. D. Press the food powder at high temperature.
10. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Food Scraps Are Stronger Than Concrete B. Throw Away Food Scraps —A New Waste
C. Buildings With Food Scraps —A New Trend D. Turn Food Scraps Into Construction Materials
11. Where is the text probably from?
A. A food report. B. A biography book.
C. A recipe book. D. A science magazine.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. D

In the far North, fire season usually doesn’t start until June, when snow has melted away and summer lightning storms sweep into the region. So scientist Sander Veraverbeke was confused when in May of 2016 he saw little patches of fire on some satellite images from Alaska and the Northwest Territories.
“I was like, what the hell is going on?” says Veraverbeke, an Earth scientist at the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
What he saw on the satellite images were “zombie fires,” remains of burns from the previous year that somehow stayed alive, smoldering underground, through the long, cold winter.
Zombie fires aren’t an entirely new phenomenon in the Arctic; fire managers have noted occasional flare-ups in past decades. But Veraverbeke’s team found that their occurrences are tightly linked to climate change, happening more often after hot, long summers with lots of fire and suggesting that these still-rare events could become more frequent.
“The sheer fact that this is happening is evidence for how quickly the region is changing,” he says.
Like all forests, the wooded stretches of the Arctic sometimes catch on fire. But unlike many forests in the mid-latitudes, which thrive on or even require fire to preserve their health, Arctic forests have evolved to burn only infrequently.
Climate change is reshaping that mode. In the first decade of the new millennium, fires burned 50 percent more acreage each year in the Arctic, on average, than any decade in the 1900s. Between 2010 and 2020, burned acreage continued to creep up, particularly in Alaska, which had its second worst fire year ever in 2015 and another bad one in 2019. Scientists have found that fire frequency today is higher than at any time since the formation of boreal (北极的) forests some 3,000 years ago, and potentially higher than at any point in the last 10,000 years.
12. Why did Sander Veraverbeke feel puzzled?
A. Because he saw something unusual from some newspaper pictures.
B. Because he didn’t realize there were zombie fires in the Arctic.
C. Because the fires started burning earlier than he previously expected.
D. Because there was much snow in Alaska and the Northwest Territories.
13. What does the underlined word “smoldering” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Burning B. Releasing C. Exploding D. Weakening
14. What can we know about the fires in the Arctic?
A. They play a role in preserving the forests.
B. Zombie fires are a new discovery of Sander Veraverbeke.
C. Zombie fires tend to happen after hot summers with lots of fire.
D. They burned 50 percent of the area in the Arctic between 2000 and 2010.
15. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To help readers learn about the Arctic. B. To show concern about climate change.
C. To call on people to control zombie fires. D. To warn readers of the dangers of zombie fires.

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In the far North, fire season usually doesn’t start until June, when snow has melted away and summer lightning storms sweep into the region. So scientist Sander Veraverbeke was confused when in May of 2016 he saw little patches of fire on some satellite images from Alaska and the Northwest Territories.(在遥远的北方，火灾季节通常要到6月才开始，那时雪已经融化，夏季闪电风暴席卷该地区。因此，当科学家Sander Veraverbeke在2016年5月从阿拉斯加和西北地区的一些卫星图像上看到小块的火时，他感到困惑)”可知，Sander Veraverbeke感到困惑是因为火势比他之前预期的要早。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“What he saw on the satellite images were “zombie fires,” remains of burns from the previous year that somehow stayed alive”可知，他在卫星图像上看到的是“僵尸火”，即前一年的烧伤残留物，不知怎么还活着，在漫长而寒冷的冬天里在地下燃烧着。故画线词意思是“燃烧”。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“But Veraverbeke’s team found that their occurrences are tightly linked to climate change, happening more often after hot, long summers with lots of fire and suggesting that these still-rare events could become more frequent.(但Veraverbeke的团队发现，它们的发生与气候变化密切相关，在炎热、漫长、有很多火的夏天发生得更频繁，这表明这些仍然罕见的事件可能会变得更加频繁)”可知，僵尸火往往发生在炎热的夏天，火灾很多。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Climate change is reshaping that mode. In the first decade of the new millennium, fires burned 50 percent more acreage each year in the Arctic, on average, than any decade in the 1900s. Between 2010 and 2020, burned acreage continued to creep up, particularly in Alaska, which had its second worst fire year ever in 2015 and another bad one in 2019. Scientists have found that fire frequency today is higher than at any time since the formation of boreal (北极的) forests some 3,000 years ago, and potentially higher than at any point in the last 10,000 years.(气候变化正在重塑这种模式。在新千年的第一个十年里，北极地区每年的火灾面积平均比20世纪的任何十年都多50%。在2010年至2020年期间，燃烧面积继续攀升，尤其是在阿拉斯加，2015年和2019年分别发生了史上第二严重的火灾。科学家们发现，今天的火灾频率比大约3000年前北方森林形成以来的任何时候都要高，而且可能比过去1万年中的任何时候都要高)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是表达对气候变化的关注。故选B。

Identify and exclude time and energy vampires from your circle of five.
Nourish your circle
Once you identify the people who belong to your reference group, it is important to nourish these relationships. ___19___ Different individuals evolve at a different pace.

第二节(满分25分)
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 mum and grandma drove me to a 5km race. There was a fierce thunderstorm, and when we got there, I had to wait for it to pass beneath an overhang (屋檐) with the other runners. I started to feel a little nervous, because some of the people there looked really fast. They had proper running shoes and long skinny legs. They were all different ages. I wasn’t wearing running clothes; just a normal T-shirt and shorts.
An hour after the official start time even though it was still raining, the race organisers said we could go. That morning, I was running confidently and feeling strong. The route went through a neighbourhood and there were quite a few people cheering us on, but I didn’t see any faces I knew. It started to pour again, but I love running in the rain: It keeps me cool and I can keep going for longer, even when I get tired, when I run, I don’t wear a watch to see what distance I’m at；I just focus on moving, breathing and how my body feels.
At one point, I came to a split (分叉) in the course. A woman who was directing us blocked off (封锁) the route which I was meant to take and told me to go the other way, so I followed her directions.
I was confused, but just kept running. I knew I must be close to finishing the 5km, but I couldn’t see the finishing line. After a while I saw route directions for a 10km race. I was worried and thought I was lost, but had to keep going. My body started to get tired and my muscles a little sore. I said to myself, “You’re almost there. Just keep breathing.” Eventually I saw the finishing line and spotted my mum. She looked angry. I got past the line and she was yelling, “Why did you do this, Kade? You are in so much trouble.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右。

I learned why my mum was angry later.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I learned why my mum was angry later. When she didn’t see me at the 5km finishing line, she and my grandma had gone looking for me and couldn’t find me anywhere. They thought something bad had happened. She’d even given a photograph of me to a fireman, before someone said they’d spotted me in the 10km. I said, “I didn’t do this on purpose, Mum! It was a mistake.” She calmed down when she realised I hadn’t intentionally done it. I felt bad that I had worried her.
My mum went up to the lady who was timing the race. She told my mum, “He finished first. He won the race.” It’s funny, because in the pictures of the finish, there is no one in front of or behind me. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t even know I was running a 10km and I had won it. My mum and my grandma were so excited and kept hugging me. I was still trying to catch my breath. I felt so happy and proud. It was my first time running such a distance.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一次5公里赛跑的过程中，偶遇雷雨天气，即使没有穿专业的跑步服，作者仍然很专注。在一个分叉口，听从了一个女人的指挥，作者错过了5公里的终点线，继续跑到了10公里的终点。妈妈因为在预计的5公里终点线找不到作者，开始搜寻并担心作者。得到了别人给的信息，妈妈等在了10公里的终点线，并且很生气质问作者，作者向妈妈解释了原因，得到了谅解，妈妈和计时员了解到作者优异的成绩，大家都很高兴。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“后来我才知道妈妈为什么生气。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈生气的原因和作者做出的解释。
②由第二段首句内容“我妈妈走到给比赛计时的女士跟前。”可知第二段可描写计时人员告诉妈妈比赛结果以及妈妈，奶奶和作者的反应。
2.续写线索：妈妈对作者跑过5英里终点线感到生气——作者给出解释——得到妈妈谅解——妈妈走到计时员面前询问结果——得到好成绩，皆大欢喜
