(2023原创预测题)
Natural silence—the kind when you hear nothing but the sound of nature around you—is becoming increasingly scarce.The rumblings of man-made noise can be heard even in the remote corners of national parks and deep in the Arctic Ocean.
This is having a troubling effect.In humans,noise pollution has been linked to cardiovascular disease,mental health problems and cognitive impairment in children.In wildlife,it’s disrupting navigation,mating rituals,communication and can cause hearing loss.“We’re losing the ability to listen to nature without noise pollution,” says sound recordist Matt Mikkelsen.He’s part of the non-profit organization Quiet Parks International,which aims to identify and preserve the planet’s last quiet places.
Recently,this took him to Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota.No cars,motor boats,electricity or telephone lines are allowed in the 1-million-acre area,making it a strong candidate for Quiet Park status.But listening back to the recording,Mikkelsen can hear the low hum of a commercial jet flying far away.
Quiet Parks hasn’t yet decided if Boundary Waters meets its criteria—it’s one of 260 potential sites around the world that the organization is currently exploring.The team will analyze the sound recordings from each location and consider them alongside other data.
In recent years,the world has been getting louder,with cities and towns expanding and an increasing number of beeping cars,whooshing airplanes and cargo ships with blasting horns.But during the COVID-19 pandemic,there has been momentary respite.In 2020,global air travel was down by 60% and road transport decreased by almost half.Scientists in Europe found that noise caused by humans fell by up to 50% after lockdowns were imposed.
“People relished the silence,” says Mikkelsen.“There were no airplanes in the sky and cars weren’t on the street...It was a miraculous thing to be able to hear the world,all of a sudden,free from noise pollution,”he says.Since the start of the pandemic,Quiet Parks says it has experienced a huge surge in interest for quiet places.“I hope that we can take that desire for a world with less noise forward,” says Mikkelsen,“and appreciate the spots we have,where we can go and not experience noise pollution.”

B
After being attacked by Hurricane Ida’s 150 mph winds and torrential rains,hundreds of thousands of Gulf Coast residents were left without power and fresh water this week as a 100-degree heat wave settled over the region.Ida smashed into Louisiana as a Category 4 hurricane,ripping off roofs,knocking out transmission lines,flooding roads,and reducing some brick buildings in downtown New Orleans to rubble.At least eight people died in the storm and the toll is expected to rise as emergency workers search wrecked homes and businesses. 
One of the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the U.S.mainland,Ida brought a 5 to 12-foot storm surge that covered low-lying communities in southeastern Louisiana.Grand Isle is now “uninhabitable,” said Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng,with 3 feet of sand covering the entire barrier island and 40 percent of the buildings completely destroyed.
The storm caused a citywide blackout in New Orleans,but a Hurricane Katrina-level disaster was avoided there,thanks in part to the $14.5 billion spent on new levees,seawalls,and pumps after the 2005 storm.Experts are warning that Ida could worsen the Covid crisis in the Gulf Coast,as residents crowd together in homes and emergency shelters without immediate access to testing or medical care.ICUs in Louisiana,Mississippi,and Alabama hospitals were already near capacity before the storm hit.Nearly 1 million people are still without power across Louisiana,and authorities warned it could be weeks before electricity is restored.“If you have already evacuated,” said Gov.John Bel Edwands,“do not return here.”
5.Which of the following best describes Hurricane Ida?
A.Mild. B.Destructive.
C.Uncontrollable. D.Impressive.
6.What do the underlined words “the toll” mean in paragraph 1?
A.The death number.
B.The heat wave.
C.The wind speed.
D.The citywide blackout.
7.What is one of the reasons for Grand Isle to be uninhabitable?
A.The entire island is covered with sand.
B.It is one of the low-lying communities.
C.The residents there can’t wait to leave.
D.Over half of its buildings were in ruins.
8.What can be inferred about the attitude of Gov.John Bel Edwards towards the prospect of Louisiana?
A.Ambitious B.Undoubted.
C.Indifferent. D.Unconfident.

2.impressive　考查词性转换。空格处修饰名词architectures,用形容词作定语,故填impressive。
3.dynasties　考查名词复数。由“theMingandQing”可知,空格处用复数dynasties。
4.the　考查冠词。此处特指“接下来的几百年”,故填the。
5.highest　考查比较等级。根据语境可知,句子表示“它的城墙是‘三宝’中最高的”,空格处用最高级,故填highest。

7.that　考查同位语从句。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导的是同位语从句,从句中不缺主语或宾语,且意思完整,因此空格处用只起连接作用、无实意的that引导。

9.Wandering　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句中谓语是“canstillsense”,空格处用非谓语动词;you和wander之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词,位于句首,首字母大写,故填Wandering。
10.hasbecome　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。由Since可知,句子时态用现在完成时;主语Pingyao是单数,因此空格处用hasbecome。故填hasbecome。
