Dr. Tatiana Erukhimova is a physics professor at Texas A&M who aims to show her students, especially the young women, that there are no limits.
Only 25% of physics undergraduate students are female. Perhaps it is because boys grow up playing with machines and making drawings of fast cars and rocket explosions. But girls are just as curious about the way the world works—they just haven’t jumped into the culture of chemical reactions, energy and magnetic force with as much enthusiasm. That is, until they see one of Tatiana’s videos showing the science behind real life’s magic. Tatiana is really one of the few living female examples they could follow.
Her videos get millions of views. She is a ball of energy with a short haircut, a Russian accent and a lively personality that makes physics accessible to the younger audience. Young girls are attracted to Tatiana’s attractive demonstrations the way they flock to pop concerts. This is real. This is science they can participate in. This is an open door to endless possibilities.
“These short clips are the spark that inspires,” Tatiana says with so much excitement that it lights up the room. Everything she does involves students. She believes the magic in learning is when your peers are part of the demonstration, when you are part of the teaching process.
“She wants everything to be a celebration of science,” says one of Tatiana’s former students. And indeed, the classroom is in a party atmosphere, with students cheering when amazed by Newton’s law of motion, demonstrated by a spinning bicycle wheel held upright by the professor. It’s hard to tell who is more delighted, Tatiana or her students. She is an attraction for female students who are graduating college and working in the sciences in higher numbers than ever before.
Dr. Tatiana’s story began in Russia and her parents were both physicists. After the breakup of the Soviet Union, Tatiana moved to Texas with her husband, also a physicist. They both teach at Texas A&M, and when Tatiana isn’t in the classroom, she is doing outreach with schoolchildren, amazing them with spinning lights that soon form words, liquid oxygen that shrinks objects and chemical reactions that expand matter to 10 times its size. But most importantly, she is expanding the audience of female physicists.
4. According to the passage, why do girls sometimes hesitate to jump into the culture of physics
A. Lack of interest in chemical reactions.
B. Cultural differences in curiosity.
C. Absence of female role models.
D. Fear of liquid oxygen demonstrations.
5. Which of the following is TRUE about the videos mentioned in the passage
A. They were made by a female physician.
B. They feature engaging demonstrations.
C. They are meant for Tatiana’s homeland.
D. They have received millions of likes online.
6. What is the primary focus of Dr. Tatiana’s outreach activities with schoolchildren
A. Appealing to students with fascinating demonstrations.
B. Teaching students some difficult physics concepts.
C. Explaining the history of Newton’s law of motion.
D. Encouraging girls to attend parties and pop concerts.
7. What is the best title for the passage
A. Female Professor Rejecting Gender Barrier
B. Russian Physicist and Female Scientists
C. Physics Professor Stimulating Girls’ Passion
D. The Significance of Online Short Videos
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】

C
A British company has proposed releasing a GM(genetically modified) strain of the diamondback moth (菱形斑纹蛾), which has been developed to help reduce the population of these vegetable-eating insects.
Male diamondback moths carrying a deadly gene would be released which would cause their off springs (后代) to die almost immediately. Then the fall in their numbers could help to increase crop yields for farmers.
Oxitec, the company which came up with the idea, hopes to begin trials next year but faces opposition from groups who say the untested technology could threaten wildlife and human health.
“Mass releases of GM insects into the British countryside would be impossible to recall if anything went wrong. Changing one part of an ecosystem can have knock-on effects on others in ways that are poorly understood. This could include an increase in different types of pests. Wildlife that feeds on insects could be harmed if there are changes to their food supply” said Dr Helen Wallace, the director of Gene-Watch UK, who has sat on government advisory bodies.
Hadyn Parry, Oxitec’s chief executive, said there was demand from farmers for the technology and that using GM insects to kill the pests that feed on food crops is better for the environment than chemical sprays. The firm, which is supported by grants from the taxpayer, is developing a number of GM insects that would be used in Britain and around the world to protect crops and combat disease in humans.
Oxitec has contacted the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to ask what controls, if any, should be put in place around GM moth trials. A spokesman said that while its officials and advisers have discussed Oxitec’s plans, there is yet to be a formal application for a trial. Consequently the department has not reached a view on whether it should go ahead.
8. People strongly object to the idea mainly because they think _______.
A. the technology won’t be as effective as chemical sprays
B. the technology may bring about knock-on effects on insects
C. the technology won’t be well controlled
D. the technology may not be good for wildlife and human health
9. What is Dr Helen Wallace’s attitude towards the idea
A. Disapproving. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Not mentioned.
10. The underlined word “combat” in the fifth paragraph can be replaced by“_______”.
A. struggle B. avoid C. fight D. contract
11. Which of the following can be learned from the text
A. Oxitec still hasn’t formed any plans to control the trials.
B. Oxitec has decided to begin the trial this year.
C. Taxpayers will not continue to support Oxitec’s research.
D. Farmers prefer GM insects to chemical sprays.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一家英国公司提议释放一种转基因的小菜蛾品种，这种品种已经被开发出来，以帮助减少这些以蔬菜为食的昆虫的数量。携带致命基因的雄菱形蛾将被释放，这将导致它们的后代几乎立即死亡。然后，它们数量的下降可能有助于提高农民的作物产量。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Oxitec, the company which came up with the idea, hopes to begin trials next year but faces opposition from groups who say the untested technology could threaten wildlife and human health. (提出这一想法的Oxitec公司希望明年开始试验，但遭到一些团体的反对，他们表示，这种未经测试的技术可能威胁野生动物和人类健康。)”可知，人们强烈反对这一想法，主要是因为他们认为这项技术可能对野生动物和人类健康不利。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““Mass releases of GM insects into the British countryside would be impossible to recall if anything went wrong. Changing one part of an ecosystem can have knock-on effects on others in ways that are poorly understood. This could include an increase in different types of pests. Wildlife that feeds on insects could be harmed if there are changes to their food supply” said Dr Helen Wallace, the director of Gene-Watch UK, who has sat on government advisory bodies. (“如果出了什么问题，大规模释放转基因昆虫到英国农村是不可能被召回的。改变生态系统的一部分可能会以人们知之甚少的方式对其他部分产生连锁反应。这可能包括不同类型害虫的增加。“如果食物供应发生变化，以昆虫为食的野生动物可能会受到伤害。”英国基因观察组织主任、政府咨询机构成员海伦·华莱士博士说。)”可知，海伦·华莱士博士不赞成这个想法。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The firm, which is supported by grants from the taxpayer, is developing a number of GM insects that would be used in Britain and around the world to protect crops and”可知，这家由纳税人资助的公司正在开发一些转基因昆虫，这些昆虫将在英国和世界各地用于保护农作物和抵御人类疾病。故划线词意思是“抵御”。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“A spokesman said that while its officials and advisers have discussed Oxitec’s plans, there is yet to be a formal application for a trial. Consequently the department has not reached a view on whether it should go ahead. (一位发言人表示，尽管其官员和顾问已经讨论了Oxitec的计划，但尚未收到正式的试验申请。因此，该部门尚未就是否应该继续进行达成意见。)”可知，Oxitec仍未形成任何控制试验的计划。故选A。
D
Forests absorb huge amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) from Earth’s atmosphere, which makes them a key part of easing climate change. But humans may have already made the world’s largest rainforest useless in—and perhaps even detrimental to—the battle against greenhouse gases, a new study finds.
According to the study, the carbon balance of the Amazon rainforest is damaged largely due to large-scale (大规模的) human disturbance to the Amazon ecosystem, with wildfires—many deliberately set to clear land for agriculture and industry—responsible for most of the CO2 emissions (排放量) from the region and the hotter dry seasons.
“The first very bad news is that forest burning produces around three times more CO2 than the forest absorbs,” lead author of the study Luciana Gatti said. “The second bad news is that the places where deforestation is 30 percent or more show carbon emissions 10 times higher than the places where less than 20 percent of forest is destroyed.”
In the new study, the researchers analyzed nearly 600 measurements of CO2 and CO concentration at four spots in the Brazilian Amazon collected from 2010 to 2018. The team found that, on average, fires poured about 1.6 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year, while healthy trees absorbed only about half a billion tons. The team also found that, while the Eastern Amazon, which has seen historically greater amounts of deforestation over the past 40 years, has become a place where carbon emissions are from, the Western Amazon, which has seen much less deforestation, is neither a carbon “producer” nor a carbon sink. There, CO2 absorption by healthy forests balances the emissions from fires.
The Amazon Basin contains about 2.8 million square miles of jungle, representing more than half of the tropical (热带的) rainforest area remaining on Earth. “Limiting deforestation, and especially wildfires, is key to changing this dangerous trend in the Amazon. Imagine if we could keep the Amazon from fires, the forest could be a carbon sink,” Gatti said. “But we are doing the opposite—we are accelerating climate change.”
12. What does the underlined word “detrimental” mean in paragraph 1
A. Harmful. B. Sensitive.
C. Responsible. D. Ineffective.
13. Which is the major cause of the Amazon’s carbon imbalance
A. Climate change. B. Industrial development.
C. Human activity. D. Natural wildfires.
14. What did the researchers discover in their study
A. The Eastern Amazon is relatively better-preserved.
B. The Amazon witnessed more fires from 2010 to 2018.
C. The majority of forest fires resulted from deforestation.
D. The Amazon rainforest creates more CO2 than it absorbs.
15. What does Gatti imply at the end of the text
A. More forests should have been protected.
B. The Amazon rainforest is shrinking rapidly.
C. People should greatly reduce their carbon footprint.
D. Preventing fires helps improve the Amazon’s condition.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是最新研究表明，由于毁林，亚马孙雨林的碳排放总量已经超过碳吸收总量。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段的“humans may have already made the world’s largest rainforest useless(人类可能已经让世界上最大的雨林变得毫无用处)”和“the battle against greenhouse gases(对抗温室气体)”可知，画线词所在句表示“但一项新的研究发现，人类可能已经使世界上最大的雨林在对抗温室气体的斗争中变得无用，甚至有害”，画线词的含义应是“有害的，不利的”，和harmful意思相近。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“the carbon balance of the Amazon rainforest is damaged largely due to large-scale (大规模的) human disturbance to the Amazon ecosystem(由于人类对亚马逊生态系统的大规模干扰，亚马孙雨林的碳平衡受到很大破坏)”可知，亚马孙雨林的碳失衡主要是由大规模人类活动造成的，故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The first very bad news is that forest burning produces around three times more CO2 than the forest absorbs(第一个非常坏的消息是，森林燃烧产生的二氧化碳是森林吸收二氧化碳的三倍)”可知，研究者在他们的研究中发现亚马孙雨林排放的二氧化碳比其吸收的二氧化碳要多。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Limiting deforestation, and especially wildfires, is key to changing this dangerous trend in the Amazon. Imagine if we could keep the Amazon from fires, the forest could be a carbon sink(限制森林砍伐，特别是野火，是改变亚马孙地区这一危险趋势的关键。想象一下，如果我们能让亚马孙雨林远离火灾，森林就能成为碳汇)”可知，Gatti在文章的结尾暗示预防火灾有助于改善亚马孙的状况。故选D。

【答案】16. F 17. C 18. E 19. B 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何在旅行中“活在当下”。
【16题详解】
根据上文“They always say, “There is no time like the present.” And that is why “being in the now” is important, especially when you travel.(他们总是说：“没有时间比现在更好。”这就是为什么“活在当下”很重要，尤其是当你旅行的时候)”可知，本句承接上文“活在当下”这个概念，同时引出下文关于如何“活在当下”的方法。故F选项“那么，当你旅行的时候，你怎样才能理解“活在当下”的概念呢？”符合语境，故选F。
【17题详解】
根据后文“Lie in bed in your hotel room and stare into space. Enjoy the complete silence. Take note of how relaxed you already feel because you are not rushing to anywhere or trying to figure out how to get something done.(躺在酒店房间的床上，凝视着天空。享受完全的寂静。注意你已经感到多么放松，因为你不急着去任何地方或试图弄清楚如何完成某事)”可知，本段主要介绍了通过安静地呆着来活在当下。故C选项“安静地呆着，什么都不做是最容易的”符合语境，故选C。
【18题详解】
根据上文“People often confuse the terms “hear” and “listen”. Hearing is receiving sounds by the ear, an act that simply happens.(人们经常混淆“听见”和“倾听”这两个词。听见是通过耳朵接收声音，这是一种简单的行为)”可知，上文解释了“听见”，可知本句是在解释“倾听”。故E选项“然而，倾听是你有意识地选择去做的事情”符合语境，故选E。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Turn on the digital notepad on your smart phone, get a small notebook from the airport and write everything down during your holiday. At the end of your day, document what you did, where you went, how you got there, what you ate, who you met, etc.(打开智能手机上的电子记事本，从机场拿一个小笔记本，把假期里的一切都写下来。在一天结束的时候，记录下你做了什么，去了哪里，怎么去的，吃了什么，见了谁，等等)”可知，本段的建议是记录一切，上句提到“记下做了什么，去了哪里，怎么去的，吃了什么，见了谁”，本句对此进行总结：这些不需要花费太多时间，但却能留下美好的旅游记忆。故B选项“它不会占用你太多的时间，但它是一个很好的旅行回忆”符合语境，故选B。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Your thoughts are louder than you think. They are just often drowned out by a garble of noises from your surroundings. Being on holiday is an excellent opportunity to pick at your own thoughts because you are removed from the noise and circumstances.(你的想法比你想象的更响亮。它们只是经常被周围的嘈杂声淹没。度假是一个很好的机会来挑选自己的想法，因为你远离了噪音和环境)”可知，上文提到旅游会让你远离喧嚣环境，本句为本段最后一句，故对这一做法进行总结评价，故G选项“这是一个很好的时间来关注你的想法，因为它有助于你正确看待事物”符合语境，故选G。

【答案】Dear Mason,
Delighted to know you will participate in the contest, I’d like to recommend my favorite poem Thoughts on a Tranquil Night.
The poem is a masterpiece with only four lines, written by Li Bai, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. In the first two sentences, the writer portrays a melancholy sight featuring the comparison between the hoar-frost and the moonlight which symbolizes the hometown in traditional Chinese culture. The last two lines convey the strong homesickness that swallows the poet by manifesting the connection between the moon and hometown and the depressed actions of looking up and down as well, which makes the poem a long-lasting classic quoted in many contexts.
Hope my recommendation can be of great help. Should you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
In our family, we have a beloved pet named Max, a golden retriever (寻回犬) with a heart of gold. Max has been an integral part of our family for the past five years, bringing joy, laughter, and countless precious memories into our lives. His intelligence and adorable personality never fail to bring joy and laughter into our lives. Every day, when I come home from school, Max greets me at the door with his tail wagging and his eyes sparkling with excitement. He always seems to know when I need a comforting presence, and his playful bahavior never fails to cheer me up.
Max’s intelligence is truly remarkable. He has learned numerous tricks and commands over the years, and he never ceases to amaze us with his problem-solving skills. One time, I accidentally dropped his favorite toy behind the couch, and without any prompting (提示), Max fetched a stick and used it to fish the toy out. His creativity and resourcefulness never fail to impress us.
Max’s playful personality brings endless joy and laughter into our family. Whether we are flying disc in the backyard or going for walks in the park, Max is always ready for a good time. His boundless energy and enthusiasm are contagious (有感染力的), and he has a way of making even the simplest activity feel like an adventure. His playful barks and exaggerated jumps when he’s trying to catch a ball never fail to make us laugh.
Max’s ability to sense our emotions and respond with love and affection is truly remarkable. He seems to know when we are feeling down or stressed and always finds a way to comfort us. One warm summer evening, as the sun was beginning to set, I was sitting comfortably in my living room, buried in a captivating book. Max, my loyal golden retriever, was lying peacefully beside me, enjoying a well-deserved nap. However, as the day drew to a close, Max suddenly sprang to his feet, his ears got a lift, and his eyes fixed intently on something outside the window. Without warning, he let out a series of loud, urgent barks, as if trying to alert me to a potential threat or disturbance. Alarmed by his sudden outburst, I set my book aside and joined Max at the window, curious to see what had caught his attention.
注意：

【答案】范文
As I approached the window, I witnessed my elderly neighbor, Mr. Thompson, lying motionless in his backyard. Without hesitation, I rushed outside, with Max following closely behind. Quickly assessing the situation, I dialed emergency services and requested immediate assistance. While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, I tried to comfort Mr. Thompson, who appeared to be unconscious. Max, sensing the urgency of the situation, remained by our side, his presence providing a sense of calm and reassurance. Within minutes, the ambulance arrived, and the doctors quickly attended to Mr. Thompson.
In the days following Mr. Thompson’s accident, Max and I visited him at the hospital as often as we could. Max’s presence seemed to uplift Mr. Thompson’s spirits, and he expressed his gratitude for our timely intervention. He shared that he had been feeling lonely and isolated since his wife passed away, and Max’s companionship brought him a lot of joy. Undoubtedly Max was not only a cherished member of our family but also a guardian angel to those in need. We realized that pets are not just companions but also invaluable members of our family, capable of extraordinary acts of kindness and bravery.

Dr. Tatiana Erukhimova is a physics professor at Texas A&M who aims to show her students, especially the young women, that there are no limits.
Only 25% of physics undergraduate students are female. Perhaps it is because boys grow up playing with machines and making drawings of fast cars and rocket explosions. But girls are just as curious about the way the world works—they just haven’t jumped into the culture of chemical reactions, energy and magnetic force with as much enthusiasm. That is, until they see one of Tatiana’s videos showing the science behind real life’s magic. Tatiana is really one of the few living female examples they could follow.
Her videos get millions of views. She is a ball of energy with a short haircut, a Russian accent and a lively personality that makes physics accessible to the younger audience. Young girls are attracted to Tatiana’s attractive demonstrations the way they flock to pop concerts. This is real. This is science they can participate in. This is an open door to endless possibilities.
“These short clips are the spark that inspires,” Tatiana says with so much excitement that it lights up the room. Everything she does involves students. She believes the magic in learning is when your peers are part of the demonstration, when you are part of the teaching process.
“She wants everything to be a celebration of science,” says one of Tatiana’s former students. And indeed, the classroom is in a party atmosphere, with students cheering when amazed by Newton’s law of motion, demonstrated by a spinning bicycle wheel held upright by the professor. It’s hard to tell who is more delighted, Tatiana or her students. She is an attraction for female students who are graduating college and working in the sciences in higher numbers than ever before.
Dr. Tatiana’s story began in Russia and her parents were both physicists. After the breakup of the Soviet Union, Tatiana moved to Texas with her husband, also a physicist. They both teach at Texas A&M, and when Tatiana isn’t in the classroom, she is doing outreach with schoolchildren, amazing them with spinning lights that soon form words, liquid oxygen that shrinks objects and chemical reactions that expand matter to 10 times its size. But most importantly, she is expanding the audience of female physicists.
4. According to the passage, why do girls sometimes hesitate to jump into the culture of physics
A. Lack of interest in chemical reactions.
B. Cultural differences in curiosity.
C. Absence of female role models.
D. Fear of liquid oxygen demonstrations.
5. Which of the following is TRUE about the videos mentioned in the passage
A. They were made by a female physician.
B. They feature engaging demonstrations.
C. They are meant for Tatiana’s homeland.
D. They have received millions of likes online.
6. What is the primary focus of Dr. Tatiana’s outreach activities with schoolchildren
A. Appealing to students with fascinating demonstrations.
B. Teaching students some difficult physics concepts.
C. Explaining the history of Newton’s law of motion.
D. Encouraging girls to attend parties and pop concerts.
7. What is the best title for the passage
A. Female Professor Rejecting Gender Barrier
B. Russian Physicist and Female Scientists
C. Physics Professor Stimulating Girls’ Passion
D. The Significance of Online Short Videos
C
A British company has proposed releasing a GM(genetically modified) strain of the diamondback moth (菱形斑纹蛾), which has been developed to help reduce the population of these vegetable-eating insects.
Male diamondback moths carrying a deadly gene would be released which would cause their off springs (后代) to die almost immediately. Then the fall in their numbers could help to increase crop yields for farmers.
Oxitec, the company which came up with the idea, hopes to begin trials next year but faces opposition from groups who say the untested technology could threaten wildlife and human health.
“Mass releases of GM insects into the British countryside would be impossible to recall if anything went wrong. Changing one part of an ecosystem can have knock-on effects on others in ways that are poorly understood. This could include an increase in different types of pests. Wildlife that feeds on insects could be harmed if there are changes to their food supply” said Dr Helen Wallace, the director of Gene-Watch UK, who has sat on government advisory bodies.
Hadyn Parry, Oxitec’s chief executive, said there was demand from farmers for the technology and that using GM insects to kill the pests that feed on food crops is better for the environment than chemical sprays. The firm, which is supported by grants from the taxpayer, is developing a number of GM insects that would be used in Britain and around the world to protect crops and combat disease in humans.
Oxitec has contacted the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to ask what controls, if any, should be put in place around GM moth trials. A spokesman said that while its officials and advisers have discussed Oxitec’s plans, there is yet to be a formal application for a trial. Consequently the department has not reached a view on whether it should go ahead.
8. People strongly object to the idea mainly because they think _______.
A. the technology won’t be as effective as chemical sprays
B. the technology may bring about knock-on effects on insects
C. the technology won’t be well controlled
D. the technology may not be good for wildlife and human health
9. What is Dr Helen Wallace’s attitude towards the idea
A. Disapproving. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Not mentioned.
10. The underlined word “combat” in the fifth paragraph can be replaced by“_______”.
A. struggle B. avoid C. fight D. contract
11. Which of the following can be learned from the text
A. Oxitec still hasn’t formed any plans to control the trials.
B. Oxitec has decided to begin the trial this year.

Forests absorb huge amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) from Earth’s atmosphere, which makes them a key part of easing climate change. But humans may have already made the world’s largest rainforest useless in—and perhaps even detrimental to—the battle against greenhouse gases, a new study finds.
According to the study, the carbon balance of the Amazon rainforest is damaged largely due to large-scale (大规模的) human disturbance to the Amazon ecosystem, with wildfires—many deliberately set to clear land for agriculture and industry—responsible for most of the CO2 emissions (排放量) from the region and the hotter dry seasons.
“The first very bad news is that forest burning produces around three times more CO2 than the forest absorbs,” lead author of the study Luciana Gatti said. “The second bad news is that the places where deforestation is 30 percent or more show carbon emissions 10 times higher than the places where less than 20 percent of forest is destroyed.”
In the new study, the researchers analyzed nearly 600 measurements of CO2 and CO concentration at four spots in the Brazilian Amazon collected from 2010 to 2018. The team found that, on average, fires poured about 1.6 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year, while healthy trees absorbed only about half a billion tons. The team also found that, while the Eastern Amazon, which has seen historically greater amounts of deforestation over the past 40 years, has become a place where carbon emissions are from, the Western Amazon, which has seen much less deforestation, is neither a carbon “producer” nor a carbon sink. There, CO2 absorption by healthy forests balances the emissions from fires.
The Amazon Basin contains about 2.8 million square miles of jungle, representing more than half of the tropical (热带的) rainforest area remaining on Earth. “Limiting deforestation, and especially wildfires, is key to changing this dangerous trend in the Amazon. Imagine if we could keep the Amazon from fires, the forest could be a carbon sink,” Gatti said. “But we are doing the opposite—we are accelerating climate change.”
12. What does the underlined word “detrimental” mean in paragraph 1
A. Harmful. B. Sensitive.
C. Responsible. D. Ineffective.
13. Which is the major cause of the Amazon’s carbon imbalance
A. Climate change. B. Industrial development.
C. Human activity. D. Natural wildfires.
14. What did the researchers discover in their study
A. The Eastern Amazon is relatively better-preserved.
B. The Amazon witnessed more fires from 2010 to 2018.
C. The majority of forest fires resulted from deforestation.
D. The Amazon rainforest creates more CO2 than it absorbs.
15. What does Gatti imply at the end of the text
A. More forests should have been protected.
B. The Amazon rainforest is shrinking rapidly.
C. People should greatly reduce their carbon footprint.
D. Preventing fires helps improve the Amazon’s condition.

In our family, we have a beloved pet named Max, a golden retriever (寻回犬) with a heart of gold. Max has been an integral part of our family for the past five years, bringing joy, laughter, and countless precious memories into our lives. His intelligence and adorable personality never fail to bring joy and laughter into our lives. Every day, when I come home from school, Max greets me at the door with his tail wagging and his eyes sparkling with excitement. He always seems to know when I need a comforting presence, and his playful bahavior never fails to cheer me up.
Max’s intelligence is truly remarkable. He has learned numerous tricks and commands over the years, and he never ceases to amaze us with his problem-solving skills. One time, I accidentally dropped his favorite toy behind the couch, and without any prompting (提示), Max fetched a stick and used it to fish the toy out. His creativity and resourcefulness never fail to impress us.
Max’s playful personality brings endless joy and laughter into our family. Whether we are flying disc in the backyard or going for walks in the park, Max is always ready for a good time. His boundless energy and enthusiasm are contagious (有感染力的), and he has a way of making even the simplest activity feel like an adventure. His playful barks and exaggerated jumps when he’s trying to catch a ball never fail to make us laugh.
Max’s ability to sense our emotions and respond with love and affection is truly remarkable. He seems to know when we are feeling down or stressed and always finds a way to comfort us. One warm summer evening as the sun was beginning to set, I was sitting comfortably in my living room, buried in a captivating book. Max, my loyal golden retriever, was lying peacefully beside me, enjoying a well-deserved nap. However, as the day drew to a close, Max suddenly sprang to his feet, his ears got a lift, and his eyes fixed intently on something outside the window. Without warning, he let out a series of loud, urgent barks, as if trying to alert me to a potential threat or disturbance. Alarmed by his sudden outburst, I set my book aside and joined Max at the window, curious to see what had caught his attention.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
