Ⅰ. 阅读理解
Wildlife officials in Utah have been stocking their remote mountain lakes by
dropping fish from airplanes since 1956. And on Aug. 21, the Utah Division of
Wildlife Resources (DWR) shared a video of them doing just that. In the video, the
small fish erupted from the bottom of an airplane into the water.
It might seem like the fall from the plane would result in a fatal (致命的) end for
the fish, but the Utah DWR explained that at least 95 percent of the fish are
expected to survive. “That's because the young fish are so small — only 1 to 3
inches (2.5 to 7.6 centimetres) long — that they fall to the water like leaves，” said
Phil Tuttle the outreach manager for the southern region office of the Utah
DWR.
“The pilot lies just above the tree line to drop the fish, or as low as
possible while considering other natural barriers like cliffs and mountains，” Tuttle
told Li e Science in an email. Years of netting surveys (collecting fish in a net
v
and counting them) and decades of recreational fishing suggest the fish do all right
after the drop. Utah DWR staff members have also conducted netting surveys within
minutes of a drop to check survival rates.
More than 200 of Utah's remote mountain lakes are stocked every year
using this aerial (航空) fishdrop method. The lakes are often far from any road and
can take a long time to reach by land, which makes land transports more stressful
for the fish compared with aerial transports.
Most of the stocked lakes would be fishless, were it not for the DWR's
stocking efforts. The DWR primarily stocks lakes with sterile fish so they can control
the population and minimise (减至最小) their impact on native wildlife species. The
most common species to make these lights are various species of trout (鲑鱼)．1. What is the possible reason for the high survival rate of the fish?
A. Their thick skin.
B. Their small size.
C. Their strong body.
D. Their good appetite.
2. How can Utah DWR get to know the survival rates of the fish?
A. By doing netting surveys.
B. By counting natural barriers.
C. By recording the drop height.
D. By holding fishing.
3. Why do Wildlife officials in Utah drop fish from airplanes?
A. It's the cheapest way available.
B. The lakes are unreachable by land.
C. It's better for the fish than land transports.
D. They want to train the fish in a special way.
4. What does the underlined word “sterile” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Fierce and aggressive.
B. Unable to produce babies.
C. Completely free from bacteria.
D. Energetic and good at jumping.

输好。故选C。
4. B 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“The DWR primarily stocks lakes withsterile fish so they can control the population and minimise (减至最小)their impact
on native wildlife species.”可知，画线部分单词是“不育”的含义。故选B。

(2021· 河 北 三 市 联 考 )From sports teams to movie characters, we love
supporting the weak. While that's inspiring for a film or a story, it can be
hard to remain positive when you're experiencing a struggle. It's said that what is
most personal is most universal. 1 Here are some important reasons why you
should share your story of struggles.
You can shine a light for others. 2 Sometimes, that's all someone
needs to get through a difficult time. You can help even more by applying
ideas and solutions creatively to their own problems.
3 It's uncomfortable to admit to others your failures, struggles or other
moments of weakness. That's true for everyone yet opening yourself up to
moments of weakness is surprisingly satisfying. It requires courage and being
courageous requires practice.
People will support you. 4 We all do. So why not share the ways you've
faced great difficulty and bounced back？If no one knows your struggles then they'll
never know to cheer for you or what you've overcome to reach where you are today.
Another great aspect of sharing your story is that it helps you remember the
lesson you learned. 5 Understanding what happened and how you handled
situations can provide you with the ways clearly on how to do things better and move
forwards. You can also share key experience alongside your story so others can learn,
too.
A. It helps you find your voice.
B. You love a good comeback story.
C. It allows you to practise courage.
D. You can objectively analyse your own past.
E. That's why your story can bring much value.
F. Be open with the world about the good and the bad.
G. Sharing your story will help them realise they aren't alone.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了与他人分享你的奋斗故事
的原因。
1. E 承接上文“It's said that what is most personal is most universal.”，并与下 文 “ Here are some important reasons why you should share your story of
struggles.”相呼应。由此可推知E项符合语境，所以选E项。
2. G 根据下文“Sometimes, that's all someone needs to get through a
difficult time.”，并结合上文“You can shine a light for others.”可推知，G项符合语
境，所以选G项。
3. C 根据下文中的“It requires courage and being courageous requires
practice.”可推知，本段主要讲述的是分享你的故事有助于训练自己的勇气，所以
选C项。
4. B 根据下文“We all do. So why not share the ways you've faced great
difficulty and bounced back？”可推知，人们都喜欢东山再起的故事，所以不如将
你面临很大困难却能重整旗鼓的方法分享给别人，所以选B项。
5. D 根 据 下 文 “ Understanding what happened and how you handled
situations can provide you with the ways clearly on how to do things better and move
forwards.”可推知，分享你的故事有助于客观地分析自己的过去，从而总结经验、
吸取教训，所以选D项。

about your coming to our school next term as an exchange student.
First, I'd like to tell you about the weather in my city, which is often windy

member of our class.

Ⅳ. 读后续写
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。
The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to
cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and a little wet, and the street
lamp gave little light. Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on
the silent night.
When he reached the middle of the bridge, he thought he could hear
someone coming near behind him. He looked back but could see no one.
However, the sound continued and Frank began to walk more quickly. Then he
slowed down again, thinking there was nothing to fear in a town as quiet asthis.
Just then, he heard short, quick steps closely behind him. By the time he
reached the other side of the bridge, he could almost feel someone at his heels.
He turned round and there stood a man in a large coat. A hat was pulled down over his
eyes and very little of his face could be seen.
Frank said something about the weather in an effort to be friendly. The
man did not answer but asked roughly where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to
a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.
Then Frank wondered why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield
House at such an hour. He knew that the people who lived there were very
rich. Almost without realising what he was doing, he began following the stranger
quickly.
The man was soon outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the
windows. A light was still on and the man waited until it went out. When
about half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall
and heard him drop on the ground at the other side.

Oakfield House was filled with artwork worth millions of dollars. It was clear
to Frank that the family inside was in danger. Would the man have a weapon?
Would he be strong enough to overpower him before he could harm the people inside?
Frank's heart was racing with fear. He reached for his cellphone to call the police, but
found it out of power. If only he had charged his phone before leaving the
office, but it was too late.
Frank couldn't just stand in the dark and ait. He had to do something,

even if it meant risking his own life. At his feet he silently found several
goodsized stones, and he threw them with all his strength right at the windows
of the house. The clatter woke up the people inside the house and a light came on
upstairs. The man froze, not quite knowing what had just happened. Lights came
on everywhere in the house and within a minute the night was filled with
sounds of police sirens screaming towards Oakfield House.
