Europe is the second smallest continent in size but the third largest in population.Here are some facts to share.
People
About 10% of the world's population lives in Europe.Most of the European population groups,almost 90%,belong to the three Indo-European language groups of the Slavic,Romance and Germanic language groups.According to the World Happiness Report from 2018 to 2020,the World's happiest people live in Finland—and they won for the last three years in a row!
Languages
Most European languages belong to either the Romance language family such as French,Italian and Spanish,the Germanic language family,among which are German and English,or the Slavic language family,among which are Russian,Bulgarian and Polish.Russian is the language with most native speakers—about 100 million,while English is the language spoken by most people as a first language and a second language—about 270 million people.The five most spoken native languages in Europe are Russian,German,French,English and Italian.

In Europe,there are 270 species of mammals (哺乳动物) such as bats,deer and hares.Of all mammal species 15% are endangered,such as wolves and bears.There are 75 species of amphibians(两栖动物)in
Europe,most of which are unique to Southern Europe.Slightly more than half of the 800 European bird species breed in Europe,and all the others migrate to warmer regions during the cold winter months.
Natural resources
Metals such as zinc and silver and minerals such as copper and coal are found in Europe.Some areas in northern Europe have deposits of natural gas and oil.

John Frederick Kensett was born on March 22,1816 in Cheshire,Connecticut.He attended school at Cheshire Academy,and studied carving with his immigrant father,Tomas Kensett,and later with his uncle.He worked as a carver in the New Haven area until about 1838,after which he went to work as a banknote carver in New York City.He didn't know his carving experience would benefit him later.In 1840,Kensett traveled to Europe in order to study painting.He sketched (画素描) and painted throughout Europe,improving his talents.During this period,Kensett developed an affection for the 17th-century Dutch landscape painting.He returned to the United States in 1847.
After establishing his studio and settling in New York,Kensett traveled extensively throughout the Northeast and the Colorado Rockies as well as making several trips back to Europe.
Kensett is best known for his landscape of New York and New England and seascapes (海景画) of coastal New Jersey,Long Island and New England.He is most closely associated with the so-called "second generation" of the Hudson River School.In 1851 Kensett painted a monumental canvas (巨幅油画) of Mount Washington that has become a sign of White Mountain art.
Kensett's style evolved gradually,from the traditional Hudson River School manner in the 1850s into the more improved Luminist style in his later years.By the early 1870s Kensett was spending considerable time at his home on Contentment Island,on Long Island Sound near Darien Connecticut.
It was during this time that Kensett painted some of his finest works.Many of these were seascapes,the major example being Eaton's Neck,Long Island (1872)now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
The artist was widely praised and financially successful during his lifetime.In turn,he was generous in support of the arts and artists.He was a full member of the National Academy of Design,the founder and president of the Artists' Fund Society,and a founder of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Kensett died of heart failure at his New York studio on December 14,1872.

Right now you should know about two ways to represent numbers,as Roman numerals and Arabic numerals.Plus,people in other countries use different symbols for numbers.With all these different symbols,how can math be a universal language?
Math is a universal language because the principles and foundations of math are the same everywhere around the world.Ten plus ten equals twenty if you write it as Arabic numerals 10+10=20 or Roman numerals X+X=XX.The concept of 20 items is the same no matter where you are in the world.
And,what about geometry(几何)?A circle is always a circle and its circumference (周长) is always calculated the same way no matter where you are in the world.The same holds true for any other figure like triangles,squares or rectangles.
We like to visit other countries to experience new scenery,new foods and a different culture.It's fun to watch documentaries about festivals that we don't have in North America.There is a great deal of cultural diversity in the world that we can enjoy and celebrate.But math is one thing that is common to everyone.
Different countries use different units of measurement;for example,the United States and the United Kingdom use inches and feet while the rest of Europe uses metric measurements of centimeters and meters.But no matter what the units are,everyone must measure the house that they are building.Houses everywhere,whether they are square or round,are built using the same mathematical equations(方程式).
The principles of probability are the same everywhere as well.The chance of rain in Guatemala might be greater than the chance of rain in the Sahara Desert but probability works the same way.People around the world have different genes but the probability of passing on genes to their children follows the same mathematical rules.
It is easy to see that no matter how diverse different cultures are,math is one common language across the world.
8. How many ways to stand for numbers are mentioned in the text? ______
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
9. What is the author's purpose in mentioning geometry in the third paragraph? ______
A. To highlight the importance of math.
B. To study different shapes and forms.
C. To show how to calculate the circumference.
D. To prove math calculation is often used in it is always the same.
10. What does the underlined word"figure"mean in the third paragraph? ______
A. Shape. B. Size. C. Picture. D. Field.
11. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph? ______
A. Math has no distinct characteristics of diversity.
B. Documentaries about festivals are always fun.
C. People hope to experience different cultures abroad.
D. Culture has a huge impact on the development of math.
D
In Illinois,legislators (立法委员) and advocates of removing the state's lead (铅) service lines said on Monday that a newly signed law moves the state closer to removing that " toxic infrastructure (基础设施)"and ensuring all Illinoisans have clean water to drink.
State Senator Melinda Bush,a supporter of the legislation,said the lines are a health threat that not only costs us billions of dollars,but poisons our children and destroys our residents' confidence in their water supply.
"Passing this bill with strong support shows a basic truth about lead in our drinking water—it affects all of us,and every single one of us,especially our children,deserves clean,safe drinking water," Bush said.
The Lead Service Line Replacement Notification Act creates timelines for owners and operators of community water supplies that have lead service lines to make a list of those lines and create replacement plans.Water suppliers will have to submit their replacement plan to the Environmental Protection Agency by April 2024.The law also requires the state's Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to create a low-income water assistance policy and program to ensure state residents have access to affordable,clean water.
Lead in drinking water has long been linked to a host of health problems,including kidney failure,heart disease,learning disabilities and impaired(受损的) hearing.Studies have found that even tiny amounts of lead can damage children's brains.
Bush said it's estimated that Illinois has about an eighth of all known lead service lines in the country.
Service lines are the pipes that carry water from a city's street mains to homes.Not only does Illinois have one-eighth of the lead service lines in the country,but 300,000 to 500.000 of them are in Chicago.
"Although this is a statewide problem,we know that this toxic infrastructure really affects Illinois' people," Bush said.
12. What does the underlined word "toxic" mean in the first paragraph? ______
A. Basic. B. Common. C. Healthy. D. Poisonous.
13. Why must the newly signed law be carried out as soon as possible? ______
A. To warn water suppliers to offer clean water.
B. To test whether the water system works well.
C. To raise the confidence of all the Illinoisans.
D. To make sure residents have safe drinking water.
14. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph? ______
A. The submitted policy must favour the poor families.
B. The residents in Illinois haven't realized the possible dangers.
C. Water suppliers have submitted a practical replacement plan.
D. The government should inspect community water supplies regularly.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? ______
A. Statewide Lead in Water Is Hurting You.
B. Lead in Water Is Damaging Kids' Brains.
C. Getting the Lead Out with the New Technology.
D. A New Law Urges to Remove Lead Service Lines.

Catherine was the coolest kid in her class.Whenever she went,she was in the spotlight,with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did.
Her desk mate,Landy,however,was not in the cool kids' group.Being the tallest kid in her class,she was teased by her classmates,who were always chanting "Landy,Landy,long as spaghetti (意大利面)".Every time Landy heard those silly chants,she could feel her face burst into flames.God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her!
Catherine didn't really like it when the kids chanted "Landy,Landy,long as spaghetti".But she never told them to stop either,and nor did she ever talk to her.She liked being popular.
One weekend,Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving.Her grandfather lived on a farm at the opposite end of town,where he kept chickens.While helping to feed the chickens,Catherine noticed a peculiar one.Curling in the corner,it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare!
"What's the matter with it?" She asked her grandfather,with a puzzled frown on her face.Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. "They have a pecking (啄) order, " he explained,wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. "If one chicken is different,the others will push it away and keep pecking it.Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies. "
"Oh,what a poor little thing!" Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped the frightened chicken up in her arms,whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body.Suddenly,she thought of Landy,the girl being "pecked" by her classmates. "I'm going to take it home and take good care of it, "she said with a determined look.
Back in school,Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. "It's looking healthy, " she said proudly. "It's fatter and its feathers are growing.Even the cat likes it.She carries it around the garden,and. . . " Everyone was entertained by Catherine's story of her lovely chicken,laughter lingering around the classroom.

【小题5】practical
【小题6】washed
【小题7】where
【小题8】be required
【小题9】permission
【小题10】on
【解析】(1)考查现在分词。句意:如今,越来越受欢迎的可持续旅游不仅仅是观光,它还涉及与人们及其文化的联系,对我们参观的地方产生积极影响,并增加未来的机会。此处为非谓语动词作状语,前面一件事与make之间是主动关系,故用现在分词作结果状语,故填making。
(2)考查特殊疑问句。句意:我们如何才能成为可持续旅游者?结合句意可知,此处表示"如何",故用特殊疑问词how,故填how。
(3)考查冠词。句意:以环保的方式旅行很重要。结合句意可知,此处表示泛指,故用不定冠词,environmentally为元音音素开头的单词,故填an。
(4)考查动词时态及主谓一致。句意:乘飞机去旅游目的地,这大大增加了我们的碳足迹,对全球环境产生了巨大影响。结合句意和has可知,此处用一般现在时,主语为which,指代先行词Getting to a tourist destination by airplane,谓语动词用三单形式,故填increases。

(7)考查定语从句。句意:参观寺庙或教堂时,如果需要严格的着装要求,我们应该穿着得体。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为temples or churches,在从句中作地点状语,故填where。
(8)考查动词语态。句意:参观寺庙或教堂时,如果需要严格的着装要求,我们应该穿着得体。结合句意可知,主语strict dress code与require之间是被动关系,且空前有may,故填be required。

解题方法点拨
(1)品读原文,确定文章线索
每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路,通过精读文章,找到该篇文章的写作线索。如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜(结尾)"。
(2)仔细审题,明确续写要求
一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文续写的具体要求,如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示,这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
(3)回扣原文,揣摩续写思路
根据文章后面的要求,再次快速阅读短文,抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示,确定续写段落的内容。
(4)拟写草稿,修改错词病句
在确定了思路和内容之后,最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时,注意句子结构的多样性,语言的丰富性,并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用,使上下文连贯。
