From releasing my talented and amazing conservation friends, hundreds of harmless Zebra Sharks, into the
Pacific Ocean to racing against the fastest two-legged animal in the world, the ostrich, there was no shortage of
extraordinary photography opportunities and plenty of laughs along the way.
In the past, I've focused on the outcomes, but this year I want to focus a little bit on the people who made it all
happen. This time of year is not only about celebrating success, but saying thanks to all of those who helped make
these episodes possible. When something looks easy, it usually means there are a bunch of talented people behind
the scenes making it happen.
Although our shows feature me and my photography, the episodes were produced by my company. Every shoot
had at least one camera operator and an all-round field operation person. Otherwise, I'd have been bumbled(笨手
笨脚)around, trying to film myself while also taking photos. Dante Fernandes has been in the field with me for six
years, putting up with every possible weather situation and countless seasickness situations than you can imagine.
Depending on the shoot, we were also supported by a lot of other people, such as drone(无人机)pilot, Daina
Buchner, who flew drones to capture beautiful shots for the Shark Week episode, and the people who were on
camera with me, like Mermaid Linden. I was so lucky to have so many biologists, field guides, camera operators
and sound operators. The entire team at Discovery helped me a lot, especially our executive producer Christina
Bavetta, who watched every single rough shot and helped us be even better at what we did with her incredible
insights and production notes.
So as you watch the show this year, don't just enjoy the beauty and humor of these adventures, but also give a
thought to all the people behind the scenes who made it happen.

Despite Ecoador's tough protection, there have been many giant tortoises(陆龟)killed recently, probably for
their meat for financial gains made by wildlife hunters.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司For a century, Ecuador's beautiful and endangered giant tortoises have been protected. Hunting the tortoise is
illegal under Ecuador's laws. These species, living on the Galápagos Islands, are one of the largest living reptiles(爬行
动物) with the longest life span of all vertebrates. The oldest tortoise on record was 175 years old.
“This isn’t a solitary incident,” the Galápagos Conservancy, a US-based conservation organization said. “In
September 2021, the remains of 15 other endangered giant tortoises were found on Isabela. The reptiles had likely
been hunted for consumption.”
The islands are located around 600 miles off the shore of Ecuador's coast, in the Pacific Ocean. The
archipelago(群岛) is considered one of the world's best places to see wildlife, and it is home to animal and plant
species that are found nowhere else in the world.
Their famously fearless wildlife is believed to have been a source of inspiration for Darwin’s theory of
evolution, following his visit to the islands in 1835. The islands were actually discovered by accident in 1535 when
a Spanish ship was blown off course while sailing from Panama to Peru. Ironically enough, the ship's captain was
unimpressed by the islands, writing to the king that they were “worthless”. That view, of course, changed over time.
Now about 25,000 people live in the four inhabited islands of Santa Cruz, Isabela. San Cristóbal, and Floreana.
There were once at least 250,000 giant tortoises on the islands; there are fewer than15,000 in the wild today—
and two subspecies are already extinct. “Evidence from the 2021investigation showed that the reptiles bad likely
been hunted for consumption,” Galápagos Conservancy continued. “Many are worried the population will continue
to decrease if serious action isn't taken soon. We must safeguard giant tortoises and the ecosystems they depend
on.”
28. What made Ecuador's giant tortoises endangered according to the text?
A. Illegal hunting.
B. Natural disasters.
C. Environmental pollution.
D. The decrease in shelters.
29. What does the underlined word “solitary” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Serious. B. Demanding.
C. Single. D. Disturbing.
30. What did the wildlife on the Galápagos Islands contribute to?
A. Darwin's theory of evolution.
B. People living on the archipelago.
C. The sailing from Panama to Peru.
D. The discovery of the archipelago.
31. What does the author want to express in the last paragraph?
A. The way to safeguard the tortoises.
B. The further research on the tortoises.
C. The long history of the tortoises.
D. The urgency of protecting the tortoises.

Raising livestock(牲畜)is a big part of the carbon emission from agriculture. But it is hard to change people's
habits and get them to give up their hamburgers, especially since more than one-third of Americans eat fast food
学科网（北京）股份有限公司every day. We previously called for carbon labels on everything from buildings to burgers. Now, a new study from
the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that labels on fast food affected people's choices.
The study said shifting current dietary patterns to more sustainable diets with less red meat could reduce food-
related greenhouse gas emissions by 55% and have health benefits.
The 5,000 participants in the study were shown fake menus. One group got menus with high climate impact
labels on red meat items and another had low climate impact labels on fish or plant-based burgers. Both menus were
effective in reducing the orders for red meat。 but interestingly, the high-impact labels were far more effective,
with 23% of the participants choosing a more environmentally sustainable selection, while menus listing low-impact
choices encouraged only 10% participants to change.
“We found that labeling red meat items with high-climate impact labels was more effective in increasing
sustainable selections than labeling non-red meat items with low-climate impact labels,” wrote the authors of the
study.
Lead author, Julia Wolfson, said, “These results suggest that menu labeling, particularly labels warning that an
item has high climate impact, can be an effective strategy for encouraging more sustainable food choices in a fast
food setting.”
The study points out negative labels might be unpopular: “It is unlikely that the industry would voluntarily
adopt a negative label approach; such an approach needs to be carried out via law. However, high climate impact
labels may easily be adopted in settings like universities and hospitals.”
They have a point that this label is aggressively negative, more like a cigarette warning than a food label. In
the study, the authors note that future research should test more label designs using qualitative and quantitative
research on how people understand different climate impact labels.
32. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. The impact of carbon emission.
B. The background of the new study.
C. The request of giving up carbon labels.
D. The difficulty in changing people's habits.
33. How did the groups respond to the menus?
A. They liked them very much.
B. They stuck to their preferences.
C. Some of them stopped eating fast food.
D. Some of them changed their food choices.
34. What can we learn about carrying out the approach from the text?
A. It will be banned by law.
B. It will face some resistance.
C. It will produce bad results.
D. It will be accepted by all industries.
35. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Raising livestock causes carbon emission
B. Fast food has a negative effect on climate
C. Researchers are focusing on climate impact
学科网（北京）股份有限公司D. Labels on fast food help protect the environment

When the sun goes down in the evening and you are sitting outside at home, you may not be able to see many
flowers in the yard without artificial lighting. 36 . That is the one you can enjoy by the light of the moon.
37
The plants with silver or multi-colored leaves, white or light-colored flowers, or flowers that open only at night
are good choices for a moon garden. Another way to enjoy plants in the evening is to choose ones with a pleasing
smell. Plant them along a walkway or near a seating area outdoors, where you can enjoy them up close, or within
view of a window.
Seleet plants depending on season or temperature

autumn with late bloomers like chrysanthemum. In very warm places, try planting frangipani to fill your evenings
with pleasure. 38 .
Group your plants together
For the best visual effect, plant in groups of three, five or seven of the same kind of plant. That is a good
gardening method in general because it avoids creating a disorganized mixture of plants and flowers. But it is more
important in a moon garden. 39 .
Add seme small lights
There is one more thing to increase how much you can see your moon garden—add some small lights that face
the plants. 40 . Think about using other light-colored design elements as well, such as fencing, plant supports,
stones, water features and glass balls.

A Meaningful Visit
第二节 (满分25分)
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。
Thomas and John have a lot in common. They are both talented high school seniors. They both love basketball.
They are both captains of their respective high school basketball teams. But on one Saturday night in February, they
were forever linked in the minds of all who were present for a mutual act of courage, sportsmanship(体育精神)and
respect.
The remarkable moment came during a game between Thomas's small town Illinois team and John's big city
team in Wisconsin—a game that almost wasn't played. Just days before the game, John's mother lost her five-year
battle with cancer. Her death was sudden and painful for all who knew her.
John's coach wanted to cancel the game, but John insisted that the game should be played. So with heavy
hearts, his teammates prepared to honor their captain's wishes and play without him.
What they weren't prepared for was John's appearance in the gym mid-way through the first half. As soon as
the coach saw John, he called a time out, and players and fans surrounded the young man to offer love and
support.
The coach asked him if he wanted to sit on the bench with the team. “No,” John said. “I want to play.” Of
course his team was excited to have him. But because John wasn't on the pre-game roster(候选名单), putting him
in the game at that point would result in a technical foul(犯规)and two free throws for the opposing team.
However, John's coach agreed with that. He could see that this was the teenager's way of coping with his loss.
He thought the points didn't matter. The opposing team understood the situation and told the referees to let John
play and forget the technical foul. The referees argued that a rule is a rule, and the free throws would have to be
taken before the game could proceed. For possibly the first time in basketball history, referees had to force a team
to accept and take the technical free throws.
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。
学科网（北京）股份有限公司As team captain, Thomas volunteered to take the free throws.
John and his teammates stood and applauded the gesture of sportsmanship.
