Our deepest fear is not that we are not good enough. Our deepest fear is our unbounded (无限的) power. “It is not our darkness that frighten us, but our light.” Originally written by Gabriel Bo…

Tears came out to my eyes. I had 47 thought that anyone could know my feelings in my heart and also 48 things just like the way I did.

四、阅读理解 (本题共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
Zhangjiajie has become one of the most popular attractive places of the world because of the movie Avatar. The Hallelujah Mountains in Avatar was the heaven pillars (天柱) in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. Here are the top five things to do and see in Zhangjiajie.
Of course, the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park must be worth visiting in Zhangjiajie. It is the inspiration (灵感) for the floating mountain of Avatar. And I’ll bet you can see why. Ride a 1,070-foot-tall glass lift to the top, and you can see more than 3,000 pillow-like formation (形态) sticking out of the earth. At the recently opened the Zhangjiajie glass bridge, you can walk across the world’s longest and the highest glass bridge or bungee jump off the bridge which is now the highest bungee jump in the world. Bungee jumping is good for our body and can help you relax when you are in a bad mood. But not everyone can do bungee jumping.
In the northwest area of Zhangjiajie, you’ll find the Tianmen mountain. You can start your whole journey by taking the world’s the longest passenger cable car. It stretches the length of 7,455 meters and the height of 1,279 meters. You can also visit the Tianmen Cave but better known as “Heaven’s Gate”. There’s also a cliff walk and glass sky walk stretching along the side of the mountains.
The Baofeng Lake is in the shore sea valley national reserve. The waters are from rainfall, the mountain springs and underwater streams, which is why that the lake stays a bright green color year round and called “paradise (天堂) in the human world”. Come here and take a beautiful boat tour of the river while local folk singers give you a fun performance on the lake.
Also part of the Wulingyuan Scenic Area, the Tianzi Mountains are known for their amazing peaks which arise one after another. This is known as “the king of the peak forest”. Here you can also learn about Xiang Dakun whom the mountains were named after. He led a revolution (革命) and avowed himself as “Tianzi”, which means “Sun of Heaven”. Visitors can take a cable car to the top of the mountain where you can enjoy a full view of the Wulingyuan Scenic Area.
Also known as the wonder of the world’s cave and one of the largest caverns in China, covers 48 hectares. There are dry caves, water-filled caves, stalactites (钟乳石), stalagmites (石笋)， stone the Yellow Dargon Cave blossoms, storm curtains (帘状物), storm branches (分支), storm canals (水道) an more. They have been colorfully lit to show their features and also makes it a spectacular (壮观的) scene to watch.
51. What can you see in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park?
A. Some amazing floating mountains.
B. Some formations sticking into the clouds.
C. A full view of the Wulingyuan Scenic area.
D. The world’s longest and highest stone bridge.
52. The meaning of the underlined word “stretching” is ________.
A. continuing a period of time B. spreading over an area of land
C. pulling something to be longer D. putting out an arm to reach something
53. We can know from the passage that ________.
A. the Tianzi Mountains are named after a leader of a revolution
B. the world’s longest passenger cable car is about 1,279 metres long
C. the Yellow Dragon Cave is considered as the largest cave in China
D. it’s possible for us to reach the Heaven from the Tianmen Mountain

B
As we walk the “path of life”, we may sometimes wish to be alone with our own thoughts, for quiet moments of reflection (反省) can lead to personal improvement. However, when we want to be alone, we must be careful that we do not always jump into our own world. Social life is also important to all of us.
As we live in social groups, there are many benefits of friendship that we can enjoy. Generally speaking, close friendships have three “fruits”: they may comfort the heart, advise the head and help us achieve the goals we set for ourselves. Through friendship, we can become happier, wiser and more satisfied humans.
The first fruit of friendship is the peace that comes from sharing with friends our joy, sadness, success and failure. Here, friendship has a double advantage — happiness takes on a greater meaning and a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved! Naturally, this kind of openness results from a close friendship. We know that our friends will both respect our feelings and treasure these moments of closeness.
The second fruit of friendship is the better understanding and judgement (评判) that may be achieved through conversations with well-meaning and wise friends. We often find it easier to recognize other people’s weaknesses than our own. As a result, if we are guided only by our own feelings, our judgements might be one-sided. On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions that we all have to make. This helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough (彻底的) understanding of our problems .
The third fruit of friendship is the help that a friend may offer in many different ways. Sometimes a friend is even known as our “second self”. There are so many things in life that can only be achieved with the help of friends. Friends may have many different ideas and skills.
Finally, it should be pointed out that enjoying the company of a crowd is not the same as being with friends. Friends should be carefully chosen and relationships carefully developed. In this way, we can better walk the “path of life” with the comfort, advice and help from our trusted friends.
54. According to the passage, close friendships have a lot of “fruits” EXCEPT ________.
A. making our hearts peaceful B. achieving our goals with friends’ help
C. guiding our own feelings easily D. understanding our problems better
55. We can achieve better understanding by talking with wise friends because ________.
A. it is more difficult to realize other people’s weaknesses than ourselves
B. our judgements won’t be one-sided if we are guided only by our feelings
C. our friends are able to offer better advice on our important decisions
D. it gives us a chance to completely understand our friends’ problems
56. Which shows the best structure of the passage?
A. B.
C. D.
57. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Walking the Path of Life B. Understanding of Friendship
C. Advice on Making Friends D. Improvements of Social Life

C
To save endangered arctic wolves (北极狼), the Beijing-based Sinogene Biotechnology Company cooperated with Harbin Polarland on cloning (克隆) the arctic wolf. As a result, after two years of hard efforts, the arctic wolf was cloned successfully. It is the first case of its kind in the world.
Born on June 10, 2022, the wolf, named Maya, is energetic and in very good health. Her donor (供体) cell came from a wild female arctic wolf from Canada. However, her oocyte (卵母细胞) was from a female dog, and her surrogate mother (代孕母体) was a beagle. The scientist chose a dog as Maya’s surrogate because they are similar in genes (基因), and it’s more easily to succeed through cloning technology.
“This is our new try and it has been a development in protecting and producing wild and endangered animals. The birth of Maya is an event for the development of cloning technology and is of great value to biodiversity (生物多样性), the protection of wildlife, and the restoration (恢复) of endangered animals in the world,” Mi Jidong, the company’s general manager, said.
Cloning technology is a breeding method different from natural reproduction (繁殖). Some gave opinions about the cloned arctic wolf. Sun Quanhui, a scientist from the World Animal Protection organization, said that cloning technology is still in the exploratory stage of research, and there are many technical and ethical (伦理) problems that need to be treated properly. Sun believed cloning should be considered only for endangered wild animals whose species are extinct, or whose captive populations (圈养种群) are very limited.
Maya now lives with her surrogate mother in a lab, and later she will be sent to the Harbin Polarland and displayed to the public. Maya would live by herself in the park at first because she may not be able to fit for original arctic wolf groups. However, it is reported that the technology of cloning arctic wolves has gained strong value in its application, and another male cloned arctic wolf will come into this world in the near future.
58. Which of the following is TRUE about Maya according to the passage?
A. She was born in Canada.
B. She is in good condition.
C. She is the first cloned animal in China.
D. She shares similar living habits with dogs.
59. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The development of cloning technology.
B. The difficulties of maintaining biodiversity.
C. Scientists’ efforts to protect endangered animals.
D. The importance of the birth of the cloned arctic wolf.
60. What is Sun Quanhui’s idea towards cloning technology?
A. Careful. B. Confident. C. Proud. D. Improper.
61. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Maya was trained to live with wolf groups in the lab.
B. Another male arctic wolf is expected to be born soon.
C. Maya is popular with many visitors to the Harbin Polarland.
D. Cloning technology will be used in the protection of the animal.

They remembered Injun Joe had said “Number Two.” They thought this must be the number of the room in the hotel where the deaf and dumb Spaniard, who was really Injun Joe, was staying.
They decided to try and get into his room and take the money. The room had a door that is led to the street behind the hotel. When they got there, they discovered the a door was not locked. Tom opened it. He saw Injun Joe asleep on the floor and ran away as fast as he could.
“Did you see the box money?” asked Huckleberry.
“I didn’t look for it! I saw Injun Joe and I ran!”
They made a new plan. Huckleberry would watch the door every night. If he saw Injun Joe go out, he would get Tom and they would look in the room for the box of money.

Huckleberry ran off to the nearest house, where the Welshman lived with his two grown sons. He told them the man who wanted to hurt Widow Douglas, but he didn’t tell them it was Injun Joe because he was worried that Injun Joe wanted to take revenge against him. The Welshman and his son went into the forest. Huckleberry followed them. When he heard the men shouting, he ran away as fast as his legs could carry him.
Early in the morning, he went back to the Welshman’s house. The Welshman had gone after the two men, but they escaped. Huckleberry told them that one of the men was the deaf and dumb Spaniard. The Welshman sent his son to tell the sheriff. Then Huckleberry told him what the deaf and dumb Spaniard had said about the widow.
“Why did he say that?”
Huckleberry realized he had made a mistake. He had to tell the Welshman that it was really Injun Joe.
“Please don’t tell anybody that I told you.” he said.

七、阅读与回答问题 (本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
The world’s animal populations (种群) have a reduced by more than two thirds since 1970, according to recent research from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
The London group provided information on 32,000 wildlife populations which included more than 5,000 species. The researchers (研究人员) found that group sizes had gone down by 69 percent in average (平均). They said the loss of forests, human development of the environment, pollution, and climate change were great causes of the loss. Land-use change is still the most dangerous to wildlife. However, the researchers added, “If we cannot limit warming to 1.5℃, climate change was likely to become the main cause of biodiversity loss in the coming years.
Wildlife populations in Latin American and the Caribbean Sea area were greatly influenced. The study showed a 94 percent drop in those areas in over 50 years. Wildlife populations in river and lake habitats (栖息地) went down the most. Freshwater populations have gone down by an average of 83 percent since 1970. For example, one population of pink river dolphins in the Amazon River area of Brazil fell by 65 percent between 1994 and 2016.
The findings are a warning of a larger system problem. If the number of one species (物种) goes down, there will be a bad influence on others. The situation will make the ecosystem (生态系统) worse. Humans depend on a proper climate, suitable weather conditions, better farmland and fisheries (渔业) to develop. However, now the problems are serious enough to threaten (威胁) many systems to last normally.
Our future depends on preventing the loss of nature, just as it depends on the climate change. Everyone, from oneself to companies and to governments, should play an important role to improve the situation. If nothing is done, the numbers of the wild animals will be smaller and even none left. And at last, the problem will threaten the ecosystems on which we depend.
91. What is the most dangerous to wildlife populations now?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
92. Why will the ecosystem be worse?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
93. What does the writer tell us to do according to the passage?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
94. How does the writer explain the falling of freshwater wildlife ?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
95. What should we do since the environment will make the ecosystem worse? (请自拟一句话作答)
_____________________________________________________________________________________
