I took the rules and made my way down the stairs. Just inside the door there was a bulletin board for notices. With thumb tacks （图钉） I fastened the rules to this board and then walked across the gym. I was sure in my own mind that the game was good, but it needed a real test. I felt that its success or failure depended largely on the way that the class received it. The first member of the class to arrive was Frank Mahan. He was a southerner from North Carolina, had played tackle （阻截队员） on the football team, and was the ringleader of the group. He saw me standing with a ball in my hand, and perhapsguessed that another experiment was to be tried. He looked up at the basket on one end of the gallery, and then his eyes turned to me. He stared at me for an instant, and then looked towards the other end of the gym. Perhaps he was nervous, because his cry sounded like a death knell （丧钟） as he said, “Huh! Another new game!” When the class arrived, I called the roll and told them that I had another game, which I felt sure would be good. I promised them that if this was a failure, I would not try any more experiments. I then read the rules from the bulletin board and proceeded to organize the game. There were eighteen men in the class; I selected two captains and had them choose sides. When the teams were chosen, I placed the men on the floor. There were three forwards, three centers, and three backs on each team. I chose two of the center men to jump, then threw the ball between them. It was the start of the first basketball game and the finish of the trouble with that class.24.What was the author's goal in introducing a new game to the class?( ) A.To popularize a new sport.B.To test the success of the game.C.To occupy the class during gym time.D.To impress the students with his skills.[解析] 推理判断题。根据第一段“I was sure in my own mind that the game was good, but it needed a real test.”可知,作者说他试图在这个班上尝试一种新的游戏,但是他也承认这个游戏需要一个真正的测试才能确定它的成功率。由此可推知,作者向班级介绍新游戏的目的是测试游戏的成功率。故选B。25.Who was the ringleader of the group?( ) A.Miss Lyons.B.Frank Mahan.C.A center man.D.The author himself.[解析] 细节理解题。根据第二段“The first member of the class to arrive was Frank Mahan. He was a southerner from North Carolina, had played tackle on the football team, and was the ringleader of the group.”可知,Frank Mahan是一个南方人,还曾是橄榄球队的后卫,同时他还是这个班上的头头儿。故选B。26.What was the initial reaction of Frank Mahan towards the game?( ) A.Doubtful.B.Excited.C.Indifferent.D.Supportive.[解析] 推理判断题。根据第二段“Perhaps he was nervous, because his cry sounded like a death knell as he said, ‘Huh! Another new game!'”可推知,Frank Mahan似乎对这个新游戏并不感兴趣。他看了一眼场馆的篮筐,然后看了看作者,说了一句类似于“又是一个新游戏”的话。故选A。27.What was the outcome of the author's new basketball game?( ) A.It was satisfactory.B.It was a failure.C.It received mixed reviews.D.It remained to be seen.[解析] 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It was the start of the first basketball game and the finish of the trouble with that class.”可推知,作者的新篮球运动是成功的。故选A。【语篇导读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者创造篮球运动的故事。C Bird populations in the UK continue to crash, new data shows, as campaigners predict the government will fail to meet its own nature targets unless radical （彻底的） changes are made. In 2021, on average the abundance of 130 breeding species was 12% below its 1970 value. Between 2015 and 2020, 24% of species increased, 28% showed little change and 48% declined. Wildlife experts agree that the decline in bird populations is largely driven by habitat loss. The government passed the Environment Act into law in 2021, which requires a halt in species decline by 2030.Campaigners have said that radical changes to government policy are needed if it is to meet its targets. The problems were highlighted by the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch this year, in which house sparrows remained the most frequently observed species in gardens for the 20th year in a row. “The numbers speak for themselves when it comes to the astonishing declines of some of our once common birds,” said Beccy Speight, the RSPB's chief executive. “We are in a nature and climate emergency and we've lost 38 million birds from our skies in the past 50 years.” This year, more than 500,000 people took part in the Big Garden Birdwatch, and more than 9 million birds were spotted. The results also identified problems faced by other common bird species, including chaffinches and greenfinches. Richard Benwell, the chief executive of the environmental coalition Wildlife and Countryside Link, said: “Meeting the legal target to stop wildlife losses by the end of the next parliament （议会） can't be achieved with a legal tweak （调整） here, some spare change there. Serious, sustained investment, proper punishment for pollution, and action in every department of government must be the features of any nature-positive manifesto （宣言）.”28.According to the text, what is the main cause of bird population decline in the UK?( ) A.Climate change.B.Habitat loss.C.Pollution.D.Hunting.[解析] 细节理解题。根据第一段“Wildlife experts agree that the decline in bird populations is largely driven by habitat loss.”可知,野生鸟类种群数量下降的主要原因是栖息地的丧失。故选B。29.What does the underlined word “halt” in paragraph 2 probably mean?( ) A.Adjustment.B.Instruction.C.Stop.D.Promotion.[解析] 词义猜测题。根据第四段“Meeting the legal target to stop wildlife losses by the end of the next parliament”中的“stop”可知答案。故选C。30.Which bird species has been seen the most regularly in UK gardens during the past 20 years?( ) A.House sparrows.B.Chaffinches.C.Greenfinches.D.Uncommon birds.[解析] 细节理解题。根据第二段“The problems were highlighted by the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch this year, in which house sparrows remained the most frequently observed species in gardens for the 20th year in a row.”可知答案。故选A。31.Why does the author quote Richard Benwell's words in the last paragraph?( ) A.To point out the ways to meet the nature target.B.To stress the importance of setting specific goals.C.To remind the next parliament to make new laws.D.To prove the government's failure in bird protection.[解析] 推理判断题。引语中提到,要认真、可持续地投资,对污染者适当惩罚,政府各部门都要行动起来,而且所有这些都应在声称积极保护自然的宣言中体现出来。可见,引语中主要指出了实现阻止野生动植物数量下降的目标的途径。故选A。【语篇导读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。英国的鸟类数量持续下降,除非采取彻底变革,否则英国将无法实现阻止野生动植物数量下降的目标。D Scientists have found that floating solar panels could provide a huge amount of electricity if they were placed on lakes and other bodies of water around the world. Floating solar panels could also help save water and protect land. Solar panels — also known as “photovoltaic” panels — are used to turn sunlight into electricity. Most solar panels are placed on land in large collections called solar farms. But recently people have begun to explore putting floating solar panels on water. Because these panels float, some people call them “floatovoltaics （浮动光伏）”. The researchers behind the new study looked at 114,555 reservoirs （水库） worldwide. They used computer programs to figure out how much electricity could beproduced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels. The answer was surprisingly large — more than twice the amount of energy the United States generates in a year. And 10 times as much energy as all the solar power currently being generated in the world. The researchers described the results as “remarkable”. The scientists found that floatovoltaics would be especially useful when reservoirs were near smaller cities （50,000 people or less）. The researchers say there are about 6,256 cities around the world where floating solar panels could provide all the electricity the cities need. Floatovoltaics can also help save water by limiting evaporation （蒸发） from reservoirs. The scientists say that solar panels covering just 30% of the reservoirs' surfaces could save as much water as 300 million people would use in a year. There are several other reasons that make floatovoltaics a good idea. Photovoltaic panels work better when they're not extremely hot. The water helps cool the panels so that they create more energy. Putting solar panels on water also means that there's no need to clear land for a solar farm. That's more and more important as countries work to fight climate change and protect natural spaces for wild animals.32.What did the researchers think of the study results?( ) A.Skeptical.B.Amazing.C.Worrying.D.Interesting.[解析] 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers described the results as ‘remarkable'.”可知答案。故选B。33.Where should floating solar panels be placed to make them extremely helpful?( ) A.In small cities with more rain and less sunshine.B.In huge cities with many small lakes and rivers.C.In tiny cities near reservoirs with less than 50,000 people.D.In large cities far from reservoirs with more than 50,000 people.[解析] 细节理解题。根据第四段“The scientists found that floatovoltaics would be especially useful when reservoirs were near smaller cities （50,000 people or less）.”可知答案。故选C。34.Why is covering reservoirs with floating solar panels useful?( ) A.It can help reduce water evaporation.B.It can prevent water from being polluted.C.It purifies the water available for consumption.D.It provides enough sunlight for the solar panels.[解析] 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Floatovoltaics can also help save water by limiting evaporation from reservoirs.”可知答案。故选A。35.What's the best title for the text?( ) A.The methods of using floatovoltaicsB.The prospects of the power industryC.Solar Farms — Turning Sunlight into ElectricityD.Floating Solar Panels — Making Energy, Saving Water[解析] 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了浮动太阳能电池板——既能发电又能节约用水,同时保护野生动物的自然空间,D项最适合作为文章的标题。故选D。【语篇导读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了浮动太阳能电池板——既能发电又能节约水,同时保护野生动物的自然空间。第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分,满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips for you to overcome comparison Identify your triggers （诱因） and avoid them.

During these three days, the students participated in a variety of theatrical activities, including drama performances, improvisation competitions, and scriptwriting workshops. Additionally, there were guest lectures from famous playwrights and actors, which further enriched the students' dramatic experiences.

His father had finally declared him old enough to help take the sheep to herd. It was no ordinary herding, though. Mohan and his father and other shepherds （牧羊人） moved high up into the mountains and stayed on the pastures （牧场） with their flocks for six long months. It was not an easy life. Far away from home, the men were surrounded by forests that were filled with dangerous animals, such as bears, tigers, and leopards （豹）. As Mohan bid his mother and sister goodbye, he tried to look as grown-up as possible. Mohan, his father, and their sheepdog, Sona, set off along the dusty track with their sheep. Soon they were joined by other shepherds and their flocks. The group climbed for three days until they reached the half-dry bed of a river. “Let's part up here,” said the oldest shepherd. Mohan and his father, along with Kishan, a neighbor, took their sheep northward. As night fell, everything seemed peaceful. Mohan sat closer to Sona for warmth. His father and Kishan had taken their flocks to different ends of the pasture. Suddenly, Sona started to bark. Mohan looked up to see his father's sheep rushing down the slope. Something was wrong. He waited for the sheep to reach him. Then he turned to Sona and said, “Stay and guard the sheep. I must look for Father.” Mohan picked up a lantern and his shepherd's stick and hurried in the direction from which the sheep had come. “Father, where are you?” he called out. Then came another sound that froze Mohan's blood. Mohan shouted, “Father!” A steady voice answered, “I'm here.” Mohan rushed up a slope and almost fell into a ditch （沟） on the other side. He stopped just in time and found himself looking straight into the eyes of a snow leopard. Mohan was frozen with terror. “Mohan, use your lantern.” His father's voice shook Mohan's fear out of him. Mohan looked down and saw his father lying in the ditch, holding a lamb.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。Mohan knew he had to act fast.Mohan put out the fire and then climbed into the ditch.One possible version:Mohan knew he had to act fast. Waving the lantern, he rushed towards the animal, but his foot slipped and he fell. His lantern crashed into a rock. A line of flaming oil snaked up the ground towards the leopard, and the animal moved back with a snarl. Mohan thought quickly. He took off his shirt and hooked it onto his shepherd's staff. Then he set the shirt on fire and ran shouting at the big cat. The leopard leaped backward in surprise and, with a flash of its tail, disappeared from sight.Mohan put out the fire and then climbed into the ditch. He saw that his father had hurt his ankle. “Come, Father, hold on to my shoulder,” said Mohan. “I'll help you climb out.” Mohan's father put one arm around his son. He held the lamb with the other. Just then Kishan arrived with his dogs. “What happened?” he cried. Mohan's father held tightly to Mohan. “Nothing,” he whispered. “Nothing that my son could not handle.”
