When I had behavioral issues in elementary school my teachers would punish me by sending me to my guidance counselor, Dr. Deborah Hawes, to do math and science projects. I would disrupt(扰乱) the class on purpose, knowing that I would be sent to her office for guidance. Dr. Hawes was enthusiastic about science and math. Her goal was to help every student realize the importance of these subjects, and how they relate to everyday living. As a result, she was able to persuade me to take part in science fair project competitions.
Surprisingly, I did pretty well at those competitions and received many awards through out the city at larger competitions. It was after the 8th grade that Dr. Hawes encouraged me to attend the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences (CHSAS). This by far, is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.
My time spent at CHSAS was what developed my strong interest in animal science and conservation (保护). It also inspired me to continue my education at Delaware State University (DSU), where I was awarded a partial scholarship. Then, I completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science at DSU in 2004, with internships (实习) at Purdue University, Michigan State University, and the University of Namibia in Africa. In 2008, I earned a Master of Science degree from Iowa State University while conducting research on turtle nests. In 2009, I became the Savanna District’s first-ever wildlife biologist. I was stationed at one of the most visited wildlife shelters in the nation.
I’m lucky because I’ve found what I really love to do and now I’m having a career in that field. I encourage you to try different things to know what you really like doing. You may never know your favorite unless you give it a try.

A. Well begun is half done. B. Rome was not built in a day.
C. Finding what you love matters. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

This will be an essential year for the pioneers developing electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft (电动垂直起降飞机) popularly known as air taxis. Several firms are hoping their craft can get the necessary certification (证书) in 2023 to put them into business, providing the first passengers with services.
Air taxis generally carry fewer than half a dozen passengers. They land and take off vertically using many small rotors (旋翼). With clever software controlling the rotors, they are easier to fly than a helicopter (a kind of plane) and enable independent flight. These rotors also help improve safety, as the aircraft can continue to fly if one fails.
Some designs use an extra rotor or two at the back of the craft to push the craft along in level flight. Others, like that produced by Joby Aviation, have rotors that bend forward; a set of small wings then provides lift, making more efficient use of the aircraft’s battery and increasing the range.
After scratching their heads about how to certify these flying machines, officials have been working with developers on safety standards. This is a time consuming process. Besides receiving “type” approval, which shows the safety of a new type of aircraft, factories must be certified before production can begin in large amounts. And airline-style permission is required if passengers are to be panies are working hard to get these approvals. Piloted operations are expected to be approved before independent flights.
In Germany, Volocopter will flight- test a family of eVTOLs. The firm is hoping its smallest, two-seater VoloCity can be certified in time for the 2024 Olympics in Paris where the plan is to operate shuttles (航班) between airports and the athletes’ village. Other air taxi firms also hope to provide shuttles in Paris, or at the World Expo, which will take place in Japan in 2025.
8. Which of the following contributes to a safer flight according to the text
A. More rotors. B. Smart software.
C. Fewer passengers. D. Skillful pilots,
9. Which can replace the underlined part “scratching their heads about” in the fourth paragraph
A. Being satisfied with, B. Thinking hard about.
C. Being interested in. D. Passing judgment on.
10. Why does Volocopter hope to get its VoloCity certified early
A. To show it at the World Expo. B. To strengthen its pioneering role.
C. To operate it at the Paris Olympics. D. To attract more visitors to Germany.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Green Transport Is Beginning to Take Shape B. Flying Craft Have a Long Way to Go
C. Flying Taxis Win the Game D. The Air Taxi Is Coming
D
Canada’s new Dark Vessel Detection program is using advanced satellite technology to find illegal fishing ships that attempt to steal fish from waters around the world. Illegal fishing is a major contributor to the decrease of fish and their habitat destruction.
It is said that illegal fishing accounts for about 30 percent of fishing activity worldwide. It means that u to 26 million tons of fish are caught at a cost to the global economy of more than $ 23 billion a year. Illegal fishing occurs both on the high seas and within the 200 mile limits of coastal states. It has an especially negative effect on coastal populations in undeveloped areas.
Now, the government’s Fisheries and Oceans Canada, in partnership with the Department of National Defense and MDA (Canada’s space technology maker), has started a new program that has already led to fines on five foreign ships. The $7 million Dark Vessel Detection program uses satellite technology to locate and track ships. Some illegal fishing ships have switched off their location transmitting (传输) equipment, in an attempt to avoid surveillance (监视) and control.
The program offers state-of- the-art satellite data to small island nations and coastal states around the world. The local economies of those places are often influenced by illegal fishing. Finding illegal fishing ships from space will allow these small island nations to focus on their investigations and protect their fish.
“Illegal fishing threatens the health of our fish population and takes resources (资源) away from hard- working, legal fishermen,” said Bernadette Jordan, the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, “This state -of the art system will help Ecuador and small island nations in the Pacific region deal with illegal fishing. Such illegal activity will do great harm to the Galapagos Islands and the food and economic security of its people,” she added.
12. What is the purpose of Canada’s new Dark Vessel Detection program
A. To prevent sea pollution. B. To assess the loss of fish farms.
C. To observe endangered fish species. D. To protect the fish population worldwide.
13. What does the data in Paragraph 2 show
A. The difficulties of undeveloped countries. B. The slowdown in the global economy.
C. The seriousness of illegal fishing. D. The general result of overfishing.
14. How do some illegal fishermen get rid of surveillance
A. By speeding up their ships. B. By finding remote fishing areas.
C. By hiding signals of their ships. D. By fishing in the middle of the night.
15. What can be inferred from Bernadette Jordan’s words
A. Island nations tend to suffer food shortages.
B. The interests of legal fishermen are threatened.
C. The tracking system will be applied to more fields.
D. Stricter laws will be made for the fishing industry.

Catherine was a mother of three and after her husband died three years ago, she had to step out and earn money to make ends meet.
In the beginning, she worked as a sales clerk at a store. But as her children grew older, she knew she must find a new job which could pay a higher salary (薪水). One day, Catherine was walking home after her shift (轮班) at the store when she spotted a construction site. Realizing that the money she would make by working there was more than her current salary, she thought she might be able to work there. She then approached the manager. After learning about her circumstances, the manager hired her on the spot. Then she left her job at the store and worked full-time at the construction site.
However, Catherine kept her new job a secret from her children. She thought they would feel embarrassed after learning their mother worked at a construction site. Every morning, Catherine would wake up and make breakfast for her children before dropping them at school. Then, she would go to the construction site and work until her shift ended. She would pick up heavy bricks on her shoulder to transport them from one part of the site to the other. One weekend, Catherine’s son, Peter, told her about an upcoming contest in school that required mothers to participate. In the competition, students would wear blindfolds (眼罩) and have to recognize their mothers without looking at them. “That sounds like such a cool event, Peter!” Catherine said. “I won’t go there with you, Mom,” Peter replied. When asked why, Peter said that he would have to touch Catherine’s hands to recognize her. “Everyone would look at them, but your hands are so ugly. They’re so hard and rough,” he added. Catherine felt terrible after hearing her son’s excuse for not participating in the competition, but couldn’t say anything in her defense. She had to stay quiet and keep working at the construction site to make ends meet.
Paragraph 1: A few weeks later, when Peter was returning home earlier one day, something unexpected caught his attention.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Later that night, Peter decided to apologize to his mother.

My time spent at CHSAS was what developed my strong interest in animal science and conservation (保护). It also inspired me to continue my education at Delaware State University (DSU), where I was awarded a partial scholarship. Then, I completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science at DSU in 2004, with internships (实习) at Purdue University, Michigan State University, and the University of Namibia in Africa. In 2008, I earned a Master of Science degree from Iowa State University while conducting research on turtle nests. In 2009, I became the Savanna District’s first-ever wildlife biologist. I was stationed at one of the most visited wildlife shelters in the nation.
I’m lucky because I’ve found what I really love to do and now I’m having a career in that field. I encourage you to try different things to know what you really like doing. You may never know your favorite unless you give it a try.

This will be an essential year for the pioneers developing electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft (电动垂直起降飞机), popularly known as air taxis. Several firms are hoping their craft can get the necessary certification (证书) in 2023 to put them into business, providing the first passengers with services.
Air taxis generally carry fewer than half a dozen passengers. They land and take off vertically using many small rotors (旋翼). With clever software controlling the rotors, they are easier to fly than a helicopter (a kind of plane) and enable independent flight. These rotors also help improve safety, as the aircraft can continue to fly if one fails.
Some designs use an extra rotor or two at the back of the craft to push the craft along in level flight. Others, like that produced by Joby Aviation, have rotors that bend forward; a set of small wings then provides lift, making more efficient use of the aircraft’s battery and increasing the range.
After scratching their heads about how to certify these flying machines, officials have been working with developers on safety standards. This is a time consuming process. Besides receiving “type” approval, which shows the safety of a new type of aircraft, factories must be certified before production can begin in large amounts. And airline-style permission is required if passengers are to be panies are working hard to get these approvals. Piloted operations are expected to be approved before independent flights.
In Germany, Volocopter will flight- test a family of eVTOLs. The firm is hoping its smallest, two-seater VoloCity can be certified in time for the 2024 Olympics in Paris where the plan is to operate shuttles (航班) between airports and the athletes’ village. Other air taxi firms also hope to provide shuttles in Paris, or at the World Expo, which will take place in Japan in 2025.
8. Which of the following contributes to a safer flight according to the text
A. More rotors. B. Smart software.
C. Fewer passengers. D. Skillful pilots,
9. Which can replace the underlined part “scratching their heads about” in the fourth paragraph
A. Being satisfied with, B. Thinking hard about.
C. Being interested in. D. Passing judgment on.
10. Why does Volocopter hope to get its VoloCity certified early
A. To show it at the World Expo. B. To strengthen its pioneering role.
C. To operate it at the Paris Olympics. D. To attract more visitors to Germany.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Green Transport Is Beginning to Take Shape B. Flying Craft Have a Long Way to Go
C. Flying Taxis Win the Game D. The Air Taxi Is Coming
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】

These rotors also help improve safety, as the aircraft can continue to fly if one fails.(通过智能软件控制旋翼，它们比直升机（一种飞机）更容易驾驶，并能独立飞行。这些旋翼也有助于提高安全性，因为如果其中一个出现故障，飞机可以继续飞行)”可知，更多的旋翼有助于更安全的飞行。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Besides receiving “type” approval, which shows the safety of a new type of aircraft, factories must be certified before production can begin in large amounts. And airline-style permission is required if passengers are to be panies are working hard to get these approvals. Piloted operations are expected to be approved before independent flights.”可知，除了获得“型号”认证（这表明一种新型飞机的安全性）外，工厂还必须获得认证，才能开始大规模生产。如果要携带乘客，还需要航空公司的许可。公司正在努力获得这些批准。预计在独立飞行之前，将批准有人驾驶飞行，说明认证这些飞行器需要认真考虑，所以官员们一直在与开发人员就安全标准进行合作。故划线词意思是“认真考虑”。故选B。

Canada’s new Dark Vessel Detection program is using advanced satellite technology to find illegal fishing ships that attempt to steal fish from waters around the world. Illegal fishing is a major contributor to the decrease of fish and their habitat destruction.
It is said that illegal fishing accounts for about 30 percent of fishing activity worldwide. It means that u to 26 million tons of fish are caught at a cost to the global economy of more than $ 23 billion a year. Illegal fishing occurs both on the high seas and within the 200 mile limits of coastal states. It has an especially negative effect on coastal populations in undeveloped areas.
Now, the government’s Fisheries and Oceans Canada, in partnership with the Department of National Defense and MDA (Canada’s space technology maker), has started a new program that has already led to fines on five foreign ships. The $7 million Dark Vessel Detection program uses satellite technology to locate and track ships. Some illegal fishing ships have switched off their location transmitting (传输) equipment, in an attempt to avoid surveillance (监视) and control.
The program offers state-of- the-art satellite data to small island nations and coastal states around the world. The local economies of those places are often influenced by illegal fishing. Finding illegal fishing ships from space will allow these small island nations to focus on their investigations and protect their fish.
“Illegal fishing threatens the health of our fish population and takes resources (资源) away from hard- working, legal fishermen,” said Bernadette Jordan, the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, “This state -of the art system will help Ecuador and small island nations in the Pacific region deal with illegal fishing. Such illegal activity will do great harm to the Galapagos Islands and the food and economic security of its people,” she added.
12. What is the purpose of Canada’s new Dark Vessel Detection program
A. To prevent sea pollution. B. To assess the loss of fish farms.
C. To observe endangered fish species. D. To protect the fish population worldwide.
13. What does the data in Paragraph 2 show
A. The difficulties of undeveloped countries. B. The slowdown in the global economy.
C. The seriousness of illegal fishing. D. The general result of overfishing.
14. How do some illegal fishermen get rid of surveillance
A. By speeding up their ships. B. By finding remote fishing areas.
C. By hiding signals of their ships. D. By fishing in the middle of the night.
15. What can be inferred from Bernadette Jordan’s words
A. Island nations tend to suffer food shortages.
B. The interests of legal fishermen are threatened.
C. The tracking system will be applied to more fields.
D. Stricter laws will be made for the fishing industry.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B

考查动词语态。句意：发表在《南方科学报告》上的研究的主要作者奥斯卡·卡斯蒂略说。分析句子结构可知，that在句中引导限制性定语从句，指代先行词study，在从句中作主语，谓语动词要用单数，空处publish“出版”在句中作谓语，与主语构成被动关系，又根据句中said可知，空处应用一般过去时，故空处应用一般过去时被动语态，且用单数形式。故填was published。

考查冠词。句意：一位南比利牛斯山的徒步旅行者看到了被地面覆盖的骨头。结合上文可知，文中第一次出现hiker“徒步者”，单数可数名词，且以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a，位于句首，要大写。故填A。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：到目前为止，研究人员已经发现了部分龟壳和大部分骨盆，但没有发现头骨或尾巴。根据句子结构和时间状语to date“迄今为止”可知，空处应用现在完成时态，在句中作谓语，researchers“研究员”作主语，助动词使用have。故填have found。
【点睛】考查非谓语动词。句意：这些骨头表明，这种生物有一个类似棱皮龟的光滑外壳，外壳长约2.35米，宽约2.2米。分析句子结构可知，空处measure“（指尺寸、长短、数量等）量度为”在with的复合结构中作宾语补足语，且与宾语the shell构成逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词。故填measuring。

【答案】One possible version:
Hello, everyone! Today I want to share my favorite book with you.
My favorite book is The Old Man and the Sea. I think it’s one of the most meaningful books that I have ever read. The book is written by Hemingway. It tells a story about an old fisherman. He didn’t catch any fish for 84 days, but he didn’t give up. Finally, he caught a huge fish after fighting with it for over 2 days. But unluckily, his fish was eaten up by a group of sharks on his way home. Although he didn’t get anything at last, he had already challenged himself.
The book tells me that no matter what difficulty I meet in my life, I should face it bravely and try my best to overcome it.
That’s all. Thanks!

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Catherine was a mother of three and after her husband died three years ago, she had to step out and earn money to make ends meet.
In the beginning, she worked as a sales clerk at a store. But as her children grew older, she knew she must find a new job which could pay a higher salary (薪水). One day, Catherine was walking home after her shift (轮班) at the store when she spotted a construction site. Realizing that the money she would make by working there was more than her current salary, she thought she might be able to work there. She then approached the manager. After learning about her circumstances, the manager hired her on the spot. Then she left her job at the store and worked full-time at the construction site.
However, Catherine kept her new job a secret from her children. She thought they would feel embarrassed after learning their mother worked at a construction site. Every morning, Catherine would wake up and make breakfast for her children before dropping them at school. Then, she would go to the construction site and work until her shift ended. She would pick up heavy bricks on her shoulder to transport them from one part of the site to the other. One weekend, Catherine’s son, Peter, told her about an upcoming contest in school that required mothers to participate. In the competition, students would wear blindfolds (眼罩) and have to recognize their mothers without looking at them. “That sounds like such a cool event, Peter!” Catherine said. “I won’t go there with you, Mom,” Peter replied. When asked why, Peter said that he would have to touch Catherine’s hands to recognize her. “Everyone would look at them, but your hands are so ugly. They’re so hard and rough,” he added. Catherine felt terrible after hearing her son’s excuse for not participating in the competition, but couldn’t say anything in her defense. She had to stay quiet and keep working at the construction site to make ends meet.
Paragraph 1: A few weeks later, when Peter was returning home earlier one day, something unexpected caught his attention.

Paragraph 2: Later that night, Peter decided to apologize to his mother.

【答案】 Paragraph 1: A few weeks later when Peter was returning home earlier one day, something unexpected caught his attention. On a construction site, a familiar short thin female figure was busy carrying heavy bricks among a group of men. She used her hands to pick up bricks one by one and arrange them in a pile so that she could move them. Sweat poured down her face, but she had no time to wipe it off. Peter’s eyes got wet. That’s her mother, who he thought would make him embarrassed in front of others. Seeing the surprising scene, he had mixed feelings and ran off.
Paragraph 2: Later that night, Peter decided to apologize to his mother. He came into the kitchen, where Catherine was preparing dinner, words failing him. Catherine noticed him stand still and then asked curiously, “What’s the matter, Peter ” With a deep breath, Peter said, “I’m sorry, Mom. You have always been looking after us while I have made you sad.” Catherine smiled, and now she knew that Peter had already found her secret, saying, “That’s OK, son. But I really hope you will participate in that contest.” “Of course, I want to let everyone watch my mom’s hands. I really feel proud of it!” Peter said firmly.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索。Catherine为了维持一家人的生计，瞒着孩子们去工地上工作。她的儿子Peter告诉她学校即将有一场蒙眼猜人的比赛，但他不想让众人看到Catherine粗糙且丑陋的手，所以不打算参加。Catherine听到这些感觉很糟糕。一天Peter提前回家的时候无意间发现了妈妈工作的秘密，他意识到了自己的错误，于是向Catherine道歉，并决定和Catherine一起参加比赛。
【详解】1. 续写线索：
由续写第一段首句“几周后，有一天，当Peter早些时候回家时，一件意想不到的事情引起了他的注意。”可知，第一段可以描写Peter发现了Catherine工作的秘密，这让他内心复杂。
由续写第二段首句“当晚晚些时候，Peter决定向妈妈道歉。”可知，第二段可以描写Peter向妈妈真诚道歉，二人之间的关系更近了一步，并且Peter决定和妈妈一起参加比赛。
2. 段落续写：Peter看到了一件意想不到的事情——亲眼目睹了妈妈在工地上搬砖的场景——内心五味杂陈——晚上决定向妈妈道歉——真诚道歉——妈妈释然，并鼓励他继续参赛——Peter决定和妈妈一起参赛
