As a young girl growing up in France, Betty Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader
who could make the world a better place.Her passion to help others was awakened when,
from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of
the country during holidays.There she organized homework clubs and activities for
children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification.“Within 10 years
rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor.I wanted to
stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the
severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 per cent of Tunisia's agricultural lands
being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change.She is confident that small
land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops,
高三英语 第 3 页 共 8 页using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilisers
(肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi consolidated her dream to fight the desert.She moved to Tunisia, and
set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into
action.“I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where
they are.Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate
change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September 2016, more than 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot
farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate.Toumi estimates that some 3
million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia's farmland.She expects to plant 1 million
trees by 2018.In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria
and Morocco.
24.How did Toumi's holiday trips to Tunisia influence her?
A.They made her decide to leave the country.
B.They helped her better understand her father.
C.They fired her enthusiasm for helping others.
D.They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
25.What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia's farmland?
A.Low rainfall. B.Soil pollution. C.Cold weather. D.Forest damage.
26.Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia?
A.To create job opportunities for young people.
B.To help the children obtain a basic education.
C.To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.
D.To facilitate the protection of their farmland.
27.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Saving Water in Tunisia B.Planting Trees of Native Species
C.Holding back the Sahara D.Fighting Poverty in North Africa

The United Nations announced on April 19 that India is going to become the most
populous country in the world by the end of June.India’s population by the middle of this
year is estimated to come in at.1.4286 billion, compared to 1.4257 billion for China, in the
State of World Population Report 2023 by the United Nations Population Fund.The data
showed the United States at a distant third, with an estimated population of 340 million.
One of the main reasons for this rapid population growth is India’s high birth rate, said
Time magazine.In 2022, there were about 23 million newborns in India.That’s more than
any other country.
This big population has both good and bad effects on India.The Associated Press noted
that having a lot of people who are of working age can help the economy.It means that
there are more people who can work and earn money, which can lead to economic
growth.It can also attract foreign investment, meaning companies from other countries and
regions might want to invest in India.
However, there are also some challenges that come with having such a big
population.One challenge is that there might not be enough resources such as food, health
care and education-for everyone.
CNN stated that it can also be hard for people to find jobs because so many people are
looking for work.According to a 2021 report from the World Bank, India’s labor force
participation rate, which is the proportion (比例) of the active labor force in the working-
高三英语 第 4 页 共 8 页age population, is 46 percent the lowest in Asia.
Online news magazine The Diplomat said that, despite these challenges, India is still a
country with many opportunities for growth.Many manufacturing companies are choosing
to set up factories in.India, especially for making things like mobile phones and
semiconductors (半导体).
Morgan Stanley, a US investment bank, said that India is on track “for unprecedented
(空前的) economic growth” that will allow it to overtake Japan and Germany to become
the world’s third-biggest economy by 2027.
28.What is one of the main reasons for India’s rapid population growth mentioned in the
text?
A.Birth decline. B.Birth boom.
C.High immigration rates. D.Improved living conditions.
29.What potential benefit does India’s large population offer for its economy?
A.Lower unemployment rates. B.A higher labor force participation rate.
C.Increased levels of education. D.More opportunities for foreign investment.
30.What challenge could come with having a large population in India?
A.Lack of access to resources. B.Higher levels of pollution.
C.Higher poverty rates. D.Decreased economic growth.
31.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “overtake” in the last
paragraph?
A.Control. B.Overestimate. C.Exceed. D.Compare.
D
We all know that unpleasant feeling when we're talking about something interesting
and halfway through our sentence we're interrupted.But was that really an interruption?
The answer depends on whom you ask, according to new research led by Katherine Hilton
from Stanford University.
Using a set of controlled audio clips(录音片段), Hilton surveyed 5,000 American
English speakers to better understand what affects people's understanding of
interruptions. She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions about
whether the speakers seemed to be friendly and engaged, listening to one another, or
trying to interrupt.
Hilton found that American English speakers have different conversational styles.She
identified two distinct groups: high and low intensity speakers.High intensity speakers are
generally uncomfortable with moments of silence in conversation and consider talking at
the same time a sign of engagement.Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same
time and prefer people speak one after another in conversation.
The differences in conversational styles became evident when participants listened to
audio clips in which two people spoke at the same time but were agreeing with each other
and stayed on topic, Hilton said.The high intensity group reported that conversations
where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but
engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between
speaking turns.In contrast, the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous
(同时) chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying.
“People care about being interrupted, and those small interruptions can have a massive
effect on the overall communication,” Hilton said.“Breaking apart what an interruption
means is essential if we want to understand how humans interact with each other.”
32.What does Hilton's research focus on?
高三英语 第 5 页 共 8 页A.What interruptions mean to people.
B.Whether interruption is good or not.
C.How to avoid getting interrupted.
D.Why speakers interrupt each other.
33.What do participants of the study need to do?
A.Record an audio clip. B.Answer some questions.
C.Listen to one another. D.Have a chat with a friend.
34.What do low intensity speakers think of simultaneous chat?
A.It's important. B.It's interesting. C.It's inefficient. D.It's impolite.
35.What can we learn from Hilton's research?
A.Human interaction is complex. B.Communication is the basis of life.
C.Interruptions promote thinking. D.Language barriers will always exist.

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。
There has been a very serious decline in the numbers of shallow-water fish as a result
of overfishing.People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other
sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic. 3 6
Conservation measures will have to be put in place if these deep-sea fish are to
survive.Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87
percent and 98 percent. 37 Many species could well disappear completely if the
present trend continues.These are species that have been swimming in our oceans for
hundreds of millions of years.
The problem is emphasized by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less
than twenty years.Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many
years. 38 The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57
percent decline in average size.This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce
more offspring than small ones.
39 The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding(繁
殖)fish like sardine and herring.It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same
rate as rabbits.
The damage done by overfishing goes beyond the sea environment.Millions of people
make a living in the fishing industry. 40 Measures must be taken to not only conserve
ecosystems, but also sustain livelihoods and ensure food security.
A.Billions of people rely on fish for protein.
B.Many people now choose not to eat deep-sea fish.
C.Unfortunately, their reproduction rate is very low.
D.This puts them in the category of “critically endangered”.
E.None of these facts has been taken into account by the fishing industry.
F.Overfishing is a major cause of decline in populations of ocean wildlife.
G.This has resulted in a sharp decline in the numbers of many of the species caught.
