Mamoud has a small store in Strunino. About 8 years ago, Mamoud saw an old lady counting coins to pay
for only a piece of bread. He felt sorry for the poor people and gave her the bread for free. That day, he made the
decision to print coupons (优惠券). With them, poor people in Strunino could get white or black bread at his store.
To make sure that people knew about his offer, he advertised (做广告) it in a local paper.
But that was only the beginning. Soon, Mamoud decided to offer bread to people with disabilities, large
families with little money, and homeless people. News spread quickly, and soon poor people from neighboring
villages started coming by his shop to receive coupons. Today, the store in Strunino gives away around 2,000 pieces
of white bread and 1000 pieces of black bread, every month.
Some people say that Mamoud’s kindness is a way to honor (表示敬意) his grandfather, but the man says
that he just wants to make poor people’s life a little easier.

This fall, students at the University of Massachusetts found a new menu at their canteens: the “diet for a更多全科试卷及资料，请关注公众号：高中试卷君
cooler planet” menu. This meant herb-roasted lamb, raised with a carbon-friendly approach. It included sweet
potatoes that had been picked from a local farm’s field. The options were plant-heavy, locally grown, and involved
little or no packaging.
“We wanted to let students participate in climate action by making choices about their food” says Kathy
Wicks, sustainability (可持续发展) director for UMass Dining The university is not alone in this effort.
Increasingly, American consumers and institutions are thinking about how their food choices impact climate
change. For many, small choices at the grocery store and restaurant can be more accessible than big-ticket options
like buying a fuel-efficient car.
Small changes in eating habits may make a big difference. Studies point to the food system as a significant
cause of global warming. According to Project Drawdown, a research organization that evaluates climate solutions,
the way food is grown, transported, and consumed accounts for about 1/4 of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions
(排放).Beef is a regular target. “If, on average, Americans cut 1/4 pound of beef per week from their diet, it’s like
taking 10 million cars off the road a year,” says Sujatha Bergen, director of health campaigns for the Natural
Resources Defense Council. Food waste ranks third among climate solutions. While much waste occurs before
consumers are involved, Americans also throw out a lot of food they have purchased (购买) about $1, 600 worth a
year per family of four.
“People are beginning to understand that their food choices have a big impact on climate,”says Megan
Larnner, director of regional food at the Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming in New York. But she
adds that substantial change will need to come from the whole food system.
28．What is the purpose of the new menu at the University of Massachusetts?
A．To market the cold dishes. B．To reduce the cost of packaging.
C．To raise low carbon awareness. D．To popularize the plant-heavy diet.
29．What can be inferred from Parngraph 2?
A．Food choices matter much to global warming.
B．Food is a decisive factor for climate change.
C．Universities are working together in climate action.
D．Fuel-efficient cars are not affordable for consumers.
30．What does Sujatha Bergen say about beef?
A．It plays a significant role in American’s diet. B．It is popular among millions of car drivers.
C．It has no relationship with gas emission.D．It has great influence on carbon reduction.
31．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Food System Reform: A Successful TrialB．Low Carbon Diet: A trend, or More?
C．Carbon Emission: A Killer, or Healer? D．Global Warming: An Approaching Danger
D
In habitats across the planet, animals periodically drop everything to walk, fly or swim to a new place.
Wildlife such as whales and geese learn migration paths by following their parents. Others, including small
songbirds, gain the distance and direction of their migration within their genetic code. And some animals use a更多全科试卷及资料，请关注公众号：高中试卷君
combination of genetics and culture to guide their migration.
Another group of migrators does not quite fit either model, and researchers have only recently started to
figure out how they find their way. Take the Cory’s shearwater, an oceangoing sea bird that migrates over the
Atlantic every year. The young do not migrate with their parents, so culture cannot explain their journeys. And the
exact paths vary wildly from individual to individual, making genetics equally unlikely.
Cory’s shearwaters are long-lived, rarely producing young successfully before age nine. This leaves an
opening for learning and practice to develop their migration patterns. Researchers call this the “exploration-
refinement”, and until now it has been hypothetical (假设的) because of difficulties in tracking migratory animals’
movements.
But a team of researchers has done that by attaching small geolocators to more than 150 of the birds aged
four to nine. They found that younger birds traveled longer distances, for longer periods, and had more diverse
paths than older birds. “We finally have evidence of the ‘exploration-refinement’ for migratory birds,” says Letizia
Campioni, who led the study. Younger Cory’s shearwaters are able to fly just as fast as the adults— but they do not,
suggesting that the young do more exploring, which gradually fades as they mature and settle into a preferred
course.
Although it may seem less efficient than other strategies, “exploration refinement could be beneficial to birds
and other organisms (生物) in a rapidly changing world due to unpredictable man-made changes,” says Barbara
Frei. “It might be safer to repeat a behavior that was recently successful than to rely on patterns that were perfected
long ago but might no longer be safe.”
32．What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A．It describes animals’ habitats. B．It talks about migration models.
C．It compares different species. D．It introduces a tracking technology.
33．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The opening for learning and practice.
B．The unique living habit of Cory’s shearwaters.
C．The way Cory’s shearwaters form their migration patterns.
D．The process scientists track Cory’s shearwaters’ movements.
34．What does Letizia’s study find about the younger Cory’s shearwaters?
A．They travel as much as adult birds. B．They move in a predictable manner.
C．They lower the speed for exploration. D．They look for a course with their parents.
35．What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A．Man-made changes make migration easier.
B．Animals make a safer journey via a fixed track.
C．Course exploration contributes to birds’ adaptability.
D．A combination of strategies assures migration success.

To get the most out of literary works, one must approach them with intention and skill. Here are five key
strategies to enhance your reading experience.
Engage with the text. Engagement is crucial when reading literature. 36 . Ask questions as you
read: Why did the character do that? What does this scene symbolize? What might the author be trying to say? This
active engagement helps you to think critically and to immerse (沉浸在) yourself in the literary world.
Understand the historical and cultural context. 37 . It reflects the culture in which it was written.
By researching the historical period, the author’s life, and the social norms (规范) of the time, you can gain a
deeper understanding of the text.
38 . Literature is an art form that uses language in creative and often complex ways. Pay attention
to the author’s use of literary devices such as imagery, symbolism, metaphor, and irony. Knowing these techniques
can reveal hidden layers of meaning and give you a greater appreciation of the author’s craft.
Reflect on themes and personal relevance. Great literature often deals with themes that are universal and
timeless. Reflect on the themes you encounter in the text and consider how they relate to your own experiences and
beliefs. 39 . Besides, it can offer insights into both the literature and your own life.
Discuss and share insights. Literature is meant to be shared and discussed. Conversations with others can
enhance your understanding and enjoyment of a text. Join a book club, participate in online forums, or simply
discuss the book with friends or classmates. These discussions can provide you with new perspectives (观点).

A．Think of words in the book
B．Analyze literary techniques
C．Every piece of literature is a product of its time
D．They can lessen your appreciation of the literature
E．Interacting with others will lead you about the book

67．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。
Michael saw the trouble coming. There standing in the hallway was Frank, the boy who enjoyed making fun
of anyone at any given moment. Frank was tall and strong, so few of his victims stood up to him. Michael hated the
idea that Frank always got away with his wrongdoing. Yet like most kids who were picked on, he just took it
quietly and waited for the unpleasant to pass.
Frank walked up, his eyes locked on the books in Michael’s arms. When they met, Frank stopped
unexpectedly, “Hey, let me see those books!” Some students watched as Michael held out the books he was
carrying, trying not to give away his nervousness.
Frank took a book, looked inside for a second, and then threw the book at Michael, who dropped all the other
books. “Hey, those are school property,” Frank barked, “Be careful!” Then he walked away, laughing loudly.
Michael, his cheeks turning red, half kicked the fallen books. Suddenly a hand picked up one book. “You
look like you could use a p ally (盟友),” a friendly voice said. It was Ramon, the most athletic boy in the high
school. Michael couldn’t believe Ramon was stopping to help him as they barely spoke.
“Thanks,” Michael sighed with relief. “It’s confusing. I don’t know what his problems is.”
“Well, as I see it,” Ramon said, “you need to find a way to end this.” Michael nodded, stuck for what to say.
Ramon continued, “You know my grandmother used to tell me whenever I had a problem with someone. She’d say,
‘You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar (醋).’”更多全科试卷及资料，请关注公众号：高中试卷君
Looking puzzled, Michael asked, “What does that mean?”
“It means kindness may be more effective than anger,” Ramon explained.
“Can you just tell Frank to stop picking on me?” Michael suggested.
“That’s vinegar,” Ramon laughed as he walked away. “Try honey instead.”
Ramon’s words left Michael thinking.
The next school day brought Michael’s usual pain. There stood Frank, and Michael knew it would be just
seconds before he had to face him in the middle of the hall. Frank came nearer.

（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
