第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Louis Pasteur once said, “Chance favors the prepared mind.” That’s the truth behind the following inventions — the
scientists were prepared and were able to see the magic in a mistake.Mauve
In 1856, William Perkin was trying to come up with an artificial medicine, but his experiments produced a thick mess.
But the more Perkin looked at it, the more he saw a beautiful color in his mess. Turns out he had made mauve, the first-ever
synthetic dye (合成染料), which was far better than any natural dyes: the color was brighter, clearer, and didn’t fade or
wash out.
Superglue
This super-sticky substance was discovered by accident — twice! Chemist Harry Coover had been attempting to make
clear plastic gun sights, and in 1942 one method he tested produced an extremely quick bonding adhesive (黏合剂). It was
useless for his gun sights, though, and he forgot about it until almost ten years later, when he came across it again while
developing heat-resistant parts for airplanes. This time he realised its potential, and the product was put on the market.
Plastic
In 1907, shellac (虫胶) was used in electronics. It was costly, so American chemist Leo Hendrik Baekeland tried to
produce an alternative. Instead, his experiments produced a material that could take high temperatures. He later developed it
into plastic, and it was soon used in the production of almost everything.
Teflon
Back in the 1930s, Young DuPont chemist Roy Plunkett was working to make a new kind of CFC for refrigeration.
After storing the gas in certain containers, he opened one to discover that it had changed into a white powder that was
extremely sticky and had a very high melting point. Three years later, the substance, which was named Teflon, was patented.
21．Which invention came out earliest?
A．Mauve. B．Superglue. C．Plastic. D．Teflon.
22．Who recognized the value of his original invention when developing airplane parts?
A．William Perkin.B．Harry Coover. C．Leo Hendrik. D．Roy Plunkett.
23．What do the inventions have in common?
A．They were made by accident. B．They could take high temperatures.
C．They received no recognition at first. D．They could be used in medical fields.
B
Sagarika Sriram was 10 years old when she started reading newspaper stories about a planet in trouble, one of which
was about turtles with plastic in their stomachs. Sagarika knew she needed to do something. First, she joined a group which
organized cleanup campaigns in her home city, Dubai “The group helped me understand what an individual can do and how
I can really make a difference,” she says.
Then Sagarika created Kids for a Better World. It’s a digital platform which has brought together nearly 10,000 youths
from all over the world with the goal to create a greener world.
Sagarika is now 16. She’s part of a growing number of young climate activists. “We’re the generation that is going to
face the results if the climate crisis is not dealt with,” she says. She believes even individual actions can create a “ripple
effect”. Sagarika says this can build momentum and can move things in the right direction.
Kids for a Better World is for people aged 8 to 16. It teaches them about what they can do to reverse climate change.
They can grow food, plant trees, collect recyclables and avoid using plastic bags. “This is the information which can help
change our future,” Sagarika says.
Dubai is a desert metropolis. Growing up there has made Sagarika very aware of the need for action. Her city faces the
risk of rising temperatures and its water supply is shrinking. She believes young people can bring attention to these
environmental challenges.
Sagarika is all about small actions, but she has big plans. She’d like to go to college in California. While she’s there,she’ll continue being an activist. She’ll also be running Kids for a Better World. She hopes to inspire others to fight for a
greener planet. Others have inspired her. “We’re creating our own system of inspirational change-makers,” she says.
24．Why did the author mention “turtles with plastic in their stomachs” in paragraph 1?
A．To make a comparison B．To give an example.
C．To analyze the problem. D．To introduce the topic.
25．Why did Sagarika created Kids for a Better World?
A．Because she wanted to create a greener world.
B．Because she wanted to bring together nearly1000 youths.
C．Because she wanted to read newspaper stories.
D．Because she wanted to save the turtle.
26．What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?
A．What can help change our future. B．What people should do at present.
C．What Kids for a Better World does. D．What courses are taught on the platform.
27．Which of the following words can best describe Sagarika?
A．Generous and friendly. B．Brave and smart.
C．Persistent and inspirational. D．Noble-minded and careful.
C
After being driven to near extinction, wolves are back in Washington state.
Wolf 32M, called The Old Guy by wolf specialist Ben Maletzke, lived some 12 years as the patriarch (族长) of the
Teanaway Pack, kicking off the recovery of wolves in Washington. The pack’s territory was roasted by wildfire in 2014. But
wolf 32M and his family remained in existence, bringing the call of the wild back for the first time in a century. These
wolves are what Maletzke calls stepping stones in recovery — the animals that could help lead the way to new territory not
yet repopulated by wolves.
Wolves spread to new territory to find mates and begin packs of their own. It is this pack dynamic that wildlife
biologists are counting on, in time, to urge wolves into areas where they do not presently live. “We just need a couple to
pick up and go,” Maletzke says.
All along, the Teanaway pack has stayed mostly out of trouble probably, helped by a lot of range riding (牧区巡逻)
intended to help reduce conflicts over wolf recovery by keeping wolves away from cattle. “He is an example of wolves
living and doing what they do, even around people,” Maletzke says of wolf 32M.
Story Warren, a student at the University of Montana, was just a girl when she first saw 32M’s tracks in the Teanaway
River Valley — an exciting encounter that helped generate a serious interest in wildlife that now fuels her studies. To her,
the return of the wolf is about more than the species; it is about recovering something even bigger: hope.
“Growing up in my generation, there is so much bad ecological news, a lot of hopelessness about climate change and
loss of biodiversity and extinctions,” Warren says, “To have something as wild as wolves coming back to Washington is
very encouraging for me — just to know such an amazing and powerful creature exists.”
28．Why does Maletzke call Wolf 32M family “stepping stones”?
A．They are nearly dying out. B．They are victims of wildfire.
C．They are worth protection. D．They are pioneers in wolf recovery.
29．What function does paragraph 3 serve?
A．To present a result. B．To clarify a concept.
C．To offer an explanation. D．To make a prediction30．What can be learned from the example of the Teanaway pack?
A．Wolves face a lot of trouble.
B．Wolf recovery counts on its population.
C．Certain measures to ensure cattle safety are required.
D．Wolves should be forbidden from human residence.
31．What does Warren think of the coming back of wolves?
A．It fuels more studies on wildlife. B．It clears up bad ecological news.
C．It worsens climate change. D．It excites hope for the ecosystem.
D
A new research in Nature reveals that a warming world is increasing human-wildlife conflicts. “We found evidence of
conflicts between people and wildlife exacerbated by climate change on six continents, in five different oceans, in marine
systems, in freshwater systems-involving mammals, birds, fish and so on,” said lead author Briana Abrahms.
To identify trends, the team studied published, peer—reviewed incidents of human—wildlife conflicts and identified
cases that were linked specifically to the effects of climate change. These include both short-term climate events-such as a
drought-as well as longer-term changes. Warming in the Arctic, for example, is leading to loss of sea ice which has left polar
bears short of food. They increasingly travel on land, sometimes entering human settlements and attacking people, as a
recent incident in Alaska illustrates.
Most cases of human-wildlife conflicts linked to climate involve a shift in resources—not just for wildlife, but also for
people.
A majority of cases on land also involved a change in precipitation (降水), which will continue to be affected by
climate change. Many resulted in human deaths or injuries, as well as property damage. “Identifying and understanding this
link between human-wildlife conflicts is not only a conservation issue,” said Abrahms. “It is also a social justice and human
safety issue. These types of conflicts are likely to rise as climate change intensifies (加剧), particularly as mass migrations
of people and wildlife increase and resources shift.”
But, it doesn’t have to be all bad news. “One major motivation in studying the link between climate change and
human-wildlife conflicts is finding solutions,” said Abrahms. “As we learn about specific incidents, we can identify patterns
and tends-and come up with interventions (干预) to try to address these conflicts.”
Some interventions may be as simple as public-awareness campaigns. Governments can also plan for times when
extreme climate events will bring people and wildlife into closer contact. “Once you know the root causes of a conflict, you
can design interventions to help both people and wildlife,” said Abrahms. “We can change.”
32．What does the underlined word “exacerbated” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Anticipated. B．Perceived. C．Worsened. D．Faded.
33．Why does the author mention the case of polar bears in paragraph 2?
A．To show climate change can drive conflicts by altering animal habitats.
B．To compare humans’ behaviors with animal’s in increasing conflicts.
C．To inform humans of protecting wildlife in response to climate change.
D．To prove animals have a hard life in face of global warming nowadays.
34．Which of the following statements would Abrahms agree with?
A．Human-wildlife conflicts will be settled soon.
B．Human-wildlife conflicts can increase as resources shift.C．There will be no conflicts if people and wildlife stay where they are.
D．The goal in studying human-wildlife conflicts is gaining support.
35．What does Abrahms think of interventions?
A．They are too simple. B．They are out-of-date.
C．They are changeable. D．They are beneficial.

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。
Paula started working as part of the janitorial (保洁的) staff at a big office building. As Mr. Alexander, the janitorial
manager said, the job was difficult for a disabled granny like her. And some of her coworkers worried about having to take
on extra work to make up for what she couldn’t do, but the older woman proved them all wrong.
She was efficient, almost better than those who could walk perfectly. She was always on time, made no excuses, and
learned from her mistakes. Her teenage grandkids helped her, and together, they proved to the state that Paula was their best
guardian.
For years, Paula had lived on her pension and disability benefits, which were only enough for bills and a few
necessities. Also, being at home with nothing to do made her feel worthless.
But her life brightened when her grandkids visited, and her daughter and son-in-law had been fantastic parents. Their
passing in a car accident was tragic, especially when it looked like the three kids would be separated into different foster
homes and shelters.
Paula knew she had to do something, and she did. Mr. Alexander praised her work ethic often, and she made friends
with her colleagues. It was a good situation. Tiring but better than not being able to see her grandkids ever again.
It was getting close to the end of the business day, and Paula was already done with her responsibilities. She placed
everything in its proper place and looked around in case she had forgotten something. A misplaced trash bag was sitting in a
corner. It wasn’t supposed to be there. Paula shook her head, smiling. “Someone forgot,” she commented as she approached
the bag. She decided to take the trash out herself. However, it was heavier than usual. She couldn’t even lit it properly.
“Jesus, what’s in here?” she wondered as her fingers untied the knot.
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。
To her surprise, the bag contained big piles of money, which could set a person up for life!
