Kenny Lake School in Alaska is small, with about 60 students from kindergarten to high school seniors. Jennifer Hodges, a teacher, said, “My students sit only at desks for 20 minutes a day. They do a lot of practical learning, such as raising salmon (鲑) from egg to fry (鱼苗) in the classroom and then releasing them into lakes.”
It is through a program called Salmon in the Classroom. Kate Morse, program director for the project, is in charge of the program. With this project, students have a completely different attitudes because they know what it takes to actually go through the stages of a salmon.
They think learning about the habitat temperature and the effects of climate change is more crucial now than ever. In 2022, the Arctic had its sixth-warmest year on record. But this is unusual in raising salmon, which require cold water to survive. “We had a failure in our equipment and it brought the temperature up about five degrees”, said Hodges. “Just warming it that much just killed our eggs.”
They can also observe how deadly pollutants can be to salmon’s habitat. During the months when the salmon are in the classroom, students like to sit by the tank to observe. “For instance, putting hand sanitizer (消毒剂) on your hands and then putting your fingers in the tank, you’ve polluted the tank,” said Hodges.
Each year in May, she takes her students on the Salmon Field Trip, where they will name the fish and get to release the salmon they’ve raised in class.
“The best part is getting to release them after watching them hatch from eggs and grow into fry and taking care of them,” said Fisher, a student. “You get to say goodbye.”
“I went to release them last year and the lake was still covered with ice,” said Styrling, a student. “I fell in. It was cold, but it was still funny.”
4. What do we know about the students in Kenny Lake School
A. They raise salmon for their eggs. B. They always sit at desks all day.
C. They can receive hands-on education. D. They can combine learning with hobbies.
5. Why is the program mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To stress the role the program has played. B. To introduce the founder of the program.
C. To explain ways that students raise salmon. D. To emphasize Kate Morse’s responsibility.
6. Which statement is supported by Hodges
A. Climate change has a minimal impact on salmon habitats.
B. Salmon eggs are sensitive to the rise of water temperature.
C. Their equipment failure caused a decrease in water temperature.
D. Students observe the tank to learn about pollution caused by salmon.
7. What is the students’ attitude to raising salmon
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent.
C
Animals being extinct from the Earth is a serious issue. When this happens in order to use their fur or skin for fashion, it is even worse, since it’s not even for a matter of human survival. That’s why a London zoo decided to make a powerful statement at the Siamese crocodile enclosure(鳄鱼围栏).
When visitors come in expecting to see a crocodile, they’re greeted with the handbag instead, making a very effective and powerful point about illegal wildlife trade and the harm it takes on the species involved.
A sign by the enclosure reads, “This bag used to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade.”
Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their wet land habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting for their skin for commercial purposes began in the 1950s.
The particular handbag that is on display at the zoo was confiscated at a UK airport, according to Benjamin Tapley, leader of reptiles and amphibians at ZSL London Zoo.
Tapley told The Huffington Post, “We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade(IWT) is having on species around the world. At ZSL, we are working globally with governments and local communities to protect wildlife, support law enforcement(执法)that targets illegal trade networks, empower local communities affected by IWT and reduce demand for threatened wildlife.”
8. Why does the sign say this handbag used to swim
A. It is made into a crocodile shape. B. It was kept in flowing river at first.
C. It is light enough to float on water. D. It is made of a crocodile’s skin.
9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Wildly hunting of Siamese crocodiles.
B. Causes to make Siamese crocodiles endangered.
C. Commercial value of Siamese crocodiles.
D. Destruction of Siamese crocodiles’ habitats.
10. What does the underlined word “confiscated” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Seized. B. Sold. C. Bought. D. Stolen.
11. What does Tapley’s words focus on
A. Success in wildlife protection. B. Species of endangered animals.
C. The purpose to show the handbag. D. The handbag’s attraction to visitors.
D
Thinking of getting your child to take up a sport that involves (牵涉) a coach or instructor Good news: A new study finds that children who take part in organized physical activity at a young age are less likely to have emotional difficulties by the time they turn 12.
“The elementary school years are a key time in child development,” said Frederic N. Brier, a psycho-education professor who led the study, published this month in Pediatric Research. “And every parent wants to raise a well-adjusted child.”
Researchers followed a birth group over time to examine whether continual participation in organized sport from 6 to 10 would lower risks related with emotional distress(情绪困扰), anxiety, shyness, social pullback at the age of 12. Their goal was to test this question as critically as possible by eliminating (排除) pre-existing child or family conditions that could offer an alternative explanation.
To do this, Brier and his team examined data from a group of children born in 1997 or1998 who are part of the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development. From age 6 to 10, mothers reported whether their children participated in organized physical activity. At the age of 12, teachers reported on the children’s levels of emotional distress, anxiety, shyness, and social pullback at school.
“The results revealed that children who participated frequently from 6 to 10 showed fewer instances of those factors at the age of 12 than their peers who did not join in physical activity in a continual way,” said Brier. “We found these benefits above and beyond pre-existing individual and family characteristics.”
“Getting kids actively involved in organized sport seems to promote global development. This involvement appears to be good on a socio-emotional level and not just because of physical benefits. Being less emotionally distressed at the key stage between elementary and high school is a priceless benefit for children, as they are about to enter a much larger universe with bigger academic challenges. This research supports current parental guidelines promoting children’s involvement in physical activity,” Brier concluded.
12. Why did Brier’s team follow a birth group over time
A To check their health. B. To test their guess.
C. To learn about their study. D. To find out suitable sports.
13. How did the researchers reach their conclusion
A. By analyzing data. B. By doing survey on teachers.
C. By doing experiments. D. By organizing physical activities.
14. What does Brier think of the results
A. They are of little value. B. They need further testing.
C. They are against their guess. D. They are up to his expectation.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. It’s easy to raise a well-adjusted child
B. Organized sport promotes emotional difficulties
C. School education is critical for child development
D. Sticking to organized sport can help kids adjust

As a senior editor in a famous press, I always think of days twenty years before when I was 18, I lived with my grandparents, and my parents earned their living in another city, struggling to support our family. I had taken to delivering newspapers to support myself and my education.
I would be up every morning by 5 am and walk five kilometres from where I lived to the newspaper office. By 6 am, I would collect 50 copies which must have weighed over five kilograms. My delivery range spanned (横跨) three kilometres. After distributing the copies, I would rush home—another three kilometres away—cook my breakfast, and be off to my school.
One Friday morning I got home after my deliveries, finding Afzal, a boy from the neighbourhood, at my doorstep. Afzal said his mother wanted to see me. When I asked him why, Afzal said, “She will tell you.” Tired after walking around for over 11 kilometres, I was looking forward to breakfast and some rest. I assumed his mother wished to subscribe (定期订购) to the newspaper, so I followed him to his home nearby.
A woman in her 40s opened the door. I later learned she was Afzal’s mother, Mrs Kader. She asked me to sit, pulled up her chair next to mine and gently asked, “Tell me about your routine, right from the time you wake up in the morning.” I wasn’t quite sure why she wanted to know, but I told her about my morning job in a few words. She asked me, “How many miles do you walk every day ” I replied, “A little more than 11 kilometres.” My reply shocked her.
Then she patted my back and went inside, reappearing carrying a large plate full of food for breakfast for me. It was a heart y breakfast, one that brought back memories of happy days spent with my parents. Later, as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mrs Kader asked me to wait and she went inside again.
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。
Then Mrs Kader appeared again with a new bicycle.

Kenny Lake School in Alaska is small, with about 60 students from kindergarten to high school seniors. Jennifer Hodges, a teacher, said, “My students sit only at desks for 20 minutes a day. They do a lot of practical learning, such as raising salmon (鲑) from egg to fry (鱼苗) in the classroom and then releasing them into lakes.”
It is through a program called Salmon in the Classroom. Kate Morse, program director for the project, is in charge of the program. With this project, students have a completely different attitudes because they know what it takes to actually go through the stages of a salmon.
They think learning about the habitat temperature and the effects of climate change is more crucial now than ever. In 2022, the Arctic had its sixth-warmest year on record. But this is unusual in raising salmon, which require cold water to survive. “We had a failure in our equipment and it brought the temperature up about five degrees”, said Hodges. “Just warming it that much just killed our eggs.”
They can also observe how deadly pollutants can be to salmon’s habitat. During the months when the salmon are in the classroom, students like to sit by the tank to observe. “For instance, putting hand sanitizer (消毒剂) on your hands and then putting your fingers in the tank, you’ve polluted the tank,” said Hodges.
Each year in May, she takes her students on the Salmon Field Trip, where they will name the fish and get to release the salmon they’ve raised in class.
“The best part is getting to release them after watching them hatch from eggs and grow into fry and taking care of them,” said Fisher, a student. “You get to say goodbye.”
“I went to release them last year and the lake was still covered with ice,” said Styrling, a student. “I fell in. It was cold, but it was still funny.”
4. What do we know about the students in Kenny Lake School
A. They raise salmon for their eggs. B. They always sit at desks all day.
C. They can receive hands-on education. D. They can combine learning with hobbies.
5. Why is the program mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To stress the role the program has played. B. To introduce the founder of the program.
C. To explain ways that students raise salmon. D. To emphasize Kate Morse’s responsibility.
6. Which statement is supported by Hodges
A. Climate change has a minimal impact on salmon habitats.
B. Salmon eggs are sensitive to the rise of water temperature.
C. Their equipment failure caused a decrease in water temperature.
D. Students observe the tank to learn about pollution caused by salmon.
7. What is the students’ attitude to raising salmon

They do a lot of practical learning, such as raising salmon (鲑) from egg to fry (鱼苗) in the classroom and then releasing them into lakes.”(老师詹妮弗·霍奇斯说：“我的学生每天只在课桌前坐20分钟。他们做了很多实践的学习，比如在教室里把鲑鱼从鱼卵养成鱼苗，然后把它们放生到湖里。”)”可知，在Kenny Lake School的学生们很少在课桌前坐着上课，他们做很多的实践课，所以这所学校的学生接受的是实践教育。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It is through a program called Salmon in the Classroom.(它是通过一个名为“课堂上的鲑鱼”的项目实现的)”可知，学生们的实践课是通过该项目实现的，结合下文中的“With this project, students have a completely different attitudes because they know what it takes to actually go through the stages of a salmon.(通过这个项目，学生们有了完全不同的态度，因为他们知道鲑鱼完成每个阶段实际上需要什么)”可知，学生们通过该项目可以了解到鲑鱼的每个阶段需要什么，由此可知，提到该项目的目的是为了强调这个项目的重要作用。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的““We had a failure in our equipment and it brought the temperature up about five degrees”, said Hodges. “Just warming it that much just killed our eggs.”(“我们的设备出现了故障，导致温度上升了大约5度。”霍奇斯说，“只是让它变热到那么高，就会杀死我们的鲑鱼卵。”)”可知，霍奇斯说，只需要把温度提升5度，就可以把鲑鱼卵全部杀死，由此可知，鲑鱼卵对水温上升很敏感。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段““I went to release them last year and the lake was still covered with ice,” said Styrling, a student. “I fell in. It was cold, but it was still funny.”(“去年我去放生，湖上还覆盖着冰，”学生Styrling说。“我掉进去了。天气很冷，但仍然很有趣。”)”可知，学生在放生的时候掉进了水里，却觉得很有趣，由此可推断，学生们对于放生鲑鱼的态度是积极的。故选A项。

Animals being extinct from the Earth is a serious issue. When this happens in order to use their fur or skin for fashion, it is even worse, since it’s not even for a matter of human survival. That’s why a London zoo decided to make a powerful statement at the Siamese crocodile enclosure(鳄鱼围栏).
When visitors come in expecting to see a crocodile, they’re greeted with the handbag instead, making a very effective and powerful point about illegal wildlife trade and the harm it takes on the species involved.
A sign by the enclosure reads, “This bag used to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade.”
Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their wet land habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting for their skin for commercial purposes began in the 1950s.
The particular handbag that is on display at the zoo was confiscated at a UK airport, according to Benjamin Tapley, leader of reptiles and amphibians at ZSL London Zoo.
Tapley told The Huffington Post, “We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade(IWT) is having on species around the world. At ZSL, we are working globally with governments and local communities to protect wildlife, support law enforcement(执法)that targets illegal trade networks, empower local communities affected by IWT and reduce demand for threatened wildlife.”
8. Why does the sign say this handbag used to swim
A. It is made into a crocodile shape. B. It was kept in flowing river at first.
C. It is light enough to float on water. D. It is made of a crocodile’s skin.
9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Wildly hunting of Siamese crocodiles.
B. Causes to make Siamese crocodiles endangered.
C. Commercial value of Siamese crocodiles.
D. Destruction of Siamese crocodiles’ habitats.
10. What does the underlined word “confiscated” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Seized. B. Sold. C. Bought. D. Stolen.
11. What does Tapley’s words focus on
A. Success in wildlife protection. B. Species of endangered animals.
C. The purpose to show the handbag. D. The handbag’s attraction to visitors.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Over the last 75 years, more than80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade.””（在过去的75年里，超过80%的暹罗鳄已经消失。有许多像这样的暹罗鳄，因为它们的皮被非法野生动物贸易所猎杀。”）可知，牌子上写着这个手提包曾经会游泳，因为它是用鳄鱼皮做的。故选D项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their wet land habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting for their skin for commercial purposes began in the 1950s.”（暹罗鳄原产于东南亚部分地区，是极度濒危动物，在野外几乎已经灭绝。由于狩猎和栖息地的丧失，它们现在在近99%的原始活动范围内消失了。数量减少的很大一部分是由于人类利用他们的湿地栖息地种植水稻，直到20世纪50年代开始大规模狩猎它们的皮肤用于商业目的，情况才变得更糟。）可知，本段主要说明暹罗鳄濒临灭绝的原因。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“When visitors come in expecting to see a crocodile, they’re greeted with the handbag instead, making a very effective and powerful point about illegal wildlife trade and the harm it takes on the species involved.”（当游客进来期待看到鳄鱼时，迎接他们的却是这个手提包，这是一个非常有效和有力的观点，表明非法野生动物贸易及其对物种的伤害。）可知，提到手提包在伦敦一家动物园展出。由此可知，此处为这只在动物园展出的手提包是在英国机场没收的。故可猜测划线单词confiscated为“没收”的意思，结合选项A项Seized“查封，缴获”意思一致。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Tapley told The Huffington Post, “We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade(IWT) is having on species around the world.”（塔普利告诉《赫芬顿邮报》：“我们在伦敦动物园的爬行动物馆举办这个展览，是为了引起游客对非法野生动物贸易(IWT)对世界各地物种的破坏性影响的关注。）可推知，塔普利的话关注在展示手袋的目的上。故选C项。

Thinking of getting your child to take up a sport that involves (牵涉) a coach or instructor Good news: A new study finds that children who take part in organized physical activity at a young age are less likely to have emotional difficulties by the time they turn 12.
“The elementary school years are a key time in child development,” said Frederic N. Brier, a psycho-education professor who led the study, published this month in Pediatric Research. “And every parent wants to raise a well-adjusted child.”
Researchers followed a birth group over time to examine whether continual participation in organized sport from 6 to 10 would lower risks related with emotional distress(情绪困扰), anxiety, shyness, social pullback at the age of 12. Their goal was to test this question as critically as possible by eliminating (排除) pre-existing child or family conditions that could offer an alternative explanation.
To do this, Brier and his team examined data from a group of children born in 1997 or1998 who are part of the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development. From age 6 to 10, mothers reported whether their children participated in organized physical activity. At the age of 12, teachers reported on the children’s levels of emotional distress, anxiety, shyness, and social pullback at school.
“The results revealed that children who participated frequently from 6 to 10 showed fewer instances of those factors at the age of 12 than their peers who did not join in physical activity in a continual way,” said Brier. “We found these benefits above and beyond pre-existing individual and family characteristics.”
“Getting kids actively involved in organized sport seems to promote global development. This involvement appears to be good on a socio-emotional level and not just because of physical benefits. Being less emotionally distressed at the key stage between elementary and high school is a priceless benefit for children, as they are about to enter a much larger universe with bigger academic challenges. This research supports current parental guidelines promoting children’s involvement in physical activity,” Brier concluded.
12. Why did Brier’s team follow a birth group over time
A. To check their health. B. To test their guess.
C. To learn about their study. D. To find out suitable sports.
13. How did the researchers reach their conclusion
A. By analyzing data. B. By doing survey on teachers.
C. By doing experiments. D. By organizing physical activities.
14. What does Brier think of the results
A. They are of little value. B. They need further testing.
C. They are against their guess. D. They are up to his expectation.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. It’s easy to raise a well-adjusted child
B. Organized sport promotes emotional difficulties
C. School education is critical for child development
D. Sticking to organized sport can help kids adjust
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“杂交水稻之父”中国科学家袁隆平的个人经历以及成就。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：被誉为“杂交水稻之父”的中国科学家袁隆平是全人类的先驱。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Yuan Longping，从句缺少主语，指人。故填who。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：袁隆平，1930年生于北京。表示出生在1930年，应用介词in。故填in。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：为了解决严重的粮食短缺问题，他选择了学习农业，并在重庆西南农业学院接受了教育。分析句子结构可知tackle在句中作目的状语，应用不定式。故填To tackle。
【39题详解】
考查名词或非谓语动词。句意：1953年毕业后，他从事研究工作。作介词after的宾语，可用不可数名词graduation或动名词graduating。故填graduating/graduation。

考查副词。句意：这种杂交品种使农民能够大大扩大产量。修饰动词expand应用副词greatly，故填greatly。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：今天，据估计，中国国内消费的大米中约有60%是由他的杂交品种制成的，他因此在国内外获得了无数奖项。分析句子结构可知，空格处缺少非谓语动词，generate与逻辑主语crop构成被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。故填generated。
【44题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：今天，据估计，中国国内消费的大米中约有60%是由他的杂交品种制成的，他因此在国内外获得了无数奖项。award为可数名词，根据上文numerous可知用复数。故填awards。
【45题详解】
考查时态。句意：虽然袁的杂交水稻让他变得富有，但他对名声和金钱并不在意。根据上文Although Yuan’s hybrids made him wealthy可知为一般过去时，空格处构成短语care for，意为“在意”。故填cared。

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 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。
As a senior editor in a famous press, I always think of days twenty years before when I was 18, I lived with my grandparents, and my parents earned their living in another city, struggling to support our family. I had taken to delivering newspapers to support myself and my education.
I would be up every morning by 5 am and walk five kilometres from where I lived to the newspaper office. By 6 am, I would collect 50 copies which must have weighed over five kilograms. My delivery range spanned (横跨) three kilometres. After distributing the copies, I would rush home—another three kilometres away—cook my breakfast, and be off to my school.
One Friday morning, I got home after my deliveries, finding Afzal, a boy from the neighbourhood, at my doorstep. Afzal said his mother wanted to see me. When I asked him why, Afzal said, “She will tell you.” Tired after walking around for over 11 kilometres, I was looking forward to breakfast and some rest. I assumed his mother wished to subscribe (定期订购) to the newspaper, so I followed him to his home nearby.
A woman in her 40s opened the door. I later learned she was Afzal’s mother, Mrs Kader. She asked me to sit, pulled up her chair next to mine and gently asked, “Tell me about your routine, right from the time you wake up in the morning.” I wasn’t quite sure why she wanted to know, but I told her about my morning job in a few words. She asked me, “How many miles do you walk every day ” I replied, “A little more than 11 kilometres.” My reply shocked her.
Then she patted my back and went inside, reappearing carrying a large plate full of food for breakfast for me. It was a heart y breakfast, one that brought back memories of happy days spent with my parents. Later, as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mrs Kader asked me to wait and she went inside again.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Then Mrs Kader appeared again, with a new bicycle.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I bowed to Mrs Kader gratefully and left for school.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
Then Mrs Kader appeared again, with a new bicycle. It was a brand new black bicycle which I had been looking forward to owning someday. “This is for those who are in need. Therefore, it’s for you!” she said with a smile, explaining that she was impressed by my spirit of struggling for life whenever she saw my rushing figure. Mrs Kader put her arms around me, gave me a gentle hug and said, “My boy, you deserve it.” Hearing that, I was shocked and more than appreciative for her generosity and kindness. I didn’t even realize that my eyes had welled up.
I bowed to Mrs Kader gratefully and left for school. This time I did not have to walk or run in a rush every day—I had the bicycle, which really made my life much easier afterwards. With the incredible bicycle, I could deliver my papers more effectively, thus having more time left for my studies. Even after many years, I still kept this bike in good condition. It witnessed my journey to my new life, and more significantly, it reminded me of a kind-hearted gesture from a stranger.
