A
Don’t call Madison Steward an environmentalist. She sees herself simply as an individual taking action in defense of something she loves that’s in need of protection.
Despite her youth, the 24-year-old is an undersea veteran (老手). She grew up sailing around the Great Barrier Reef on her parents’ boat and spent her early life free diving while patiently waiting for the day when she could get her scuba diving (水肺潜水) certification, aged 12. Already impressed by sharks, Madison was now pleased to be able to observe them in their own world. “I got to know the sharks…I could recognize them by sight,” Madison says. “Other people had dogs around them growing up. I had sharks.”
But within a couple of years, she saw a great reduction in shark numbers on the reef. “One day I went in the water and couldn’t find my sharks anywhere, sharks I’d spent my childhood with,” she says. “They’d been caught and killed.” It was a critical moment for Madison.
She left school at 14 to be homeschooled so she could spend more time in the ocean. She taught herself to shoot underwater video to document sharks in their own world and share her sense of wonder with others. She launched an online channel and built huge following for her documentaries where she focuses on issues like inadequate protection for some shark species and the global shark fin (鳍) industry.
In 2014, Madison was the subject of the encouraging documentary Shark Girl, which introduced her to a global audience. In 2017, she appeared as an “Ocean Guardian” in the documentary Blue that explored a lot of threats to the world’s marine environments, including the damaging effect of the global shark fishery. The film that encourages viewers to get involved and the individual to make a difference by their own direct action would never be underestimated.
21．What did Madison do before getting her scuba diving certification
A．She went boating alone. B．She practised free diving.
C．She went sailing around Australia. D．She protected the Great Barrier Reef.
22．Why did Madison shoot underwater video to document sharks
A．To record sharks’ world of wonder. B．To popularize her photography works.
C．To raise awareness of shark conservation. D．To spare more time to accompany sharks.
23．Which of the following may agree with Madison’s philosophy
A．Great minds think alike. B．Action speaks louder than words.
C．Together we can make a difference. D．Personal influence can’t be ignored.
24．What’s the purpose of writing this passage
A．To introduce an influential conservationist.
B．To advertise some encouraging documentaries.
C．To inspire people to protect whatever they love.
D．To inform people how to preserve marine wildlife.
B
A puzzling primate (灵长类动物) might be the offspring (后代) of two distantly related species. And this monkey business is worrying scientists. Six years ago, tour guide Brenden Miles was traveling down the Kinabatangan River. He was on the Southeast Asian island of Borneo. Suddenly, he spotted an odd-looking primate, so he snapped a few photos. At first, he thought it could be a silvered leaf monkey with rare coloring. But then he noticed other details: The monkey’s tail was thicker than it should be, and its nose was long like that of a proboscis monkey.
Scientists have now studied those photos. They suspect that this mystery monkey is a hybrid (杂交物种). Sometimes closely related species hybridize. This happens only occasionally in the wild. But what was especially surprising in this case is that the monkey’s suspected parents a male proboscis monkey and a female silvered leaf monkey — are distant relatives. Scientists are concerned that this might signal that the creature’s parent species are in trouble.
“Changes to the parent monkeys’ habitat might explain a hybrid,” said Nadine Ruppert, a primatologist who studied the mystery monkey. Oil palm plantations have been expanding along the Kinabatangan River. As forests turn to farmland, wildlife habitats can be harmed or lost. “In some spots, the suspected parent monkey species have been squeezed into small patches of forest along that river,” Ruppert said. “Monkeys there could have to compete more for mates. In close quarters, the male of the bigger species can dominate. In this case, the proboscis male might easily displace males of the silvered leaf monkey.”
The mystery monkey has made people living in the area very excited. “The hybrid is gorgeous, but we don’t want to see more of them,” Ruppert said. “Both proboscis monkeys and silvered leaf monkeys may lack enough food and space to behave as they would naturally.” In Borneo and around the world, human activities and climate change are hurting animal habitats. As natural habitats are lost, mating between different species might increase.
25．What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．The discovery of a rare species.
B．A photographer’s unusual adventure.
C．The new features of a strange primate.
D．Differences between two monkey species.
26．What can be inferred about the two suspected parent monkey species
A．They have to fight for oil palm fruit.
B．They were previously close relatives.
C．Proboscis monkeys are smaller in size.
D．Shared habitats influence their interaction.
27．What may cause hybridization according to the text
A．Natural disasters. B．Unsustainable farming.
C．Extensive deforestation. D．Competitions within the species.
28．How does Nadine Ruppert feel about the appearance of the “mystery monkey”
A．Puzzled. B．Concerned. C．Excited. D．Relieved.
C
The image of that staircase never left my mind. It had been forty years since I graduated high school, but the staircase haunted my memories.
Boys would sit on both sides of the staircase, rating the girls as we walked by. If they thought a girl was really ugly, they barked. Every time I walked up or down those stairs, the barks, woofs, and laughter rang in my ears.
“Just ignore them,” my mother advised. And I did. On the surface. But inside the painful message that I was ugly rooted deep into my soul.
Eventually, I graduated, got accepted to college on the West Coast, and left small-town Colorado behind me. I earned a degree in Communications, launched a rewarding career as a writer and teacher, got married, and raised two amazing boys. But when I looked in the mirror, the doubts returned.
Then I got an invitation to my fortieth high school reunion. I didn’t like high school, but I wanted to go back and tell those boys off. I wanted to tell them how hurtful and unkind they were. And I wanted to show them they were wrong. I had a husband, a family and all the things they’d made me feel I wasn’t worthy of.
I practiced my speech in my mind as I ran errands (差事), cooked dinner, and exercised at senior aerobics. In September, I drove down to the town where I’d spent my high school years. I put on my favorite blouse, touched up my make-up, and steeled myself for the Friday night opening reception.
Maybe it’s true that memory is the first thing to go. On the night, people greeted me politely, drinks in hand, flattering me with “You haven’t changed at all.” I’d look at the face and study the nametag with the graduation photo, but it didn’t ring a bell most of the time.
Had I completely erased that whole period of my life from my memory Was I at the wrong reunion No, some women remembered my mother being their Girl Scout leader. Others had kind things to say about my father, a local college professor. My planned speech wilted (枯萎) on my lips. Instead, I chatted breezily about my two grown sons, living in Seattle, and writing résumés for Boeing workers. People were nice enough, but aside from a couple of friends, I felt like I was talking to strangers.
It was pointless to hold a grudge (怨恨) against people I couldn’t even recognize. I was only hurting myself by replaying those memories in my mind. I knew I needed to forgive. A dark sorrow lifted from my soul. I felt happier, more self-confident and attractive.
Back home, our senior fitness instructor noticed that I was wearing a new T-shirt. “You are really rockin’ that shirt,” she said.
I smiled. She’d said that before, but this time I believed it.
29．Why did the author decide to attend the 40th high school reunion
A．To meet her old teachers. B．To prove her career success.
C．To apologize for past misunderstandings. D．To confront hurtful boys and show her worth.
30．What can we learn from this passage
A．The author fought against her bullies directly.
B．The reunion attendees were mostly strangers.
C．The author’s career success healed her trauma.
D．The instructor’s compliment was first genuinely embraced.
31．What can be inferred about the author’s feelings after the high school reunion
A．Confused and sad. B．Angry and proud.
C．Relieved and confident. D．Disappointed and regretful.
32．Which is the best title for the passage
A．The Power of Letting Go B．A Surprising Reunion Letter
C．Finding Friends in Strangers D．The Painful High School Years

第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分)
I got afraid when I was going to join Thompson Rivers University (TRU) here in Canada. The fact was that I was far away from my country with a totally new culture and new people and I became nervous because I had no experience of getting adjusted with a whole new place, language and culture. 36 Speaking English fluently and maintaining my confidence when chatting with each person here posed another for me.
Before I landed in Canada, I had known I would face a lot of problems. 37 It happened especially when it came to figuring out how to fix it or make the necessary adjustments here. I wasn’t able to communicate with people so easily because the accent here in Canada wasn’t familiar to me. 38 That directly contributed to my hesitation in talking with people around me. Besides, the fear of making mistakes was killing my desire to give it another try.
To break through these difficulties, I realized that I had to actively engage with the local environment and the diverse community around me. When I first came to TRU, I met with national and international students, talked to them about our culture, like how our interactions happened, the way we communicated, and the traditions we were keeping. I started to observe people, including how they talked, their expressions, intonation, stress, vocabulary, and the way they used phrases in conversations. I also started to talk with my friends in English. 39 I persisted increasingly to gradually adapt to and feel at ease with the new language, culture, tradition and all the aspects that required my adjustments.
40 Nothing is impossible to achieve. All you need to do to achieve a goal is hard work, practice and not feeling shy when you’re making a mistake. I am learning a lot by making lots of mistakes. Now mistakes don’t bother me anyway.
A．This was a big challenge for me.
B．However, I was still at a loss sometimes.
C．From all this I have learned a vital lesson.
D．But things still went beyond my expectation.
E．Canadians use different intonation and stress.
F．I realized that I should get accustomed to it with all my might.
G．Those long conversations were growing up my confidence level.

66．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。
I was in Philadelphia for a conference when I saw an ad in the hotel. A nearby theater was showing a documentary (纪录片) about several local animal shelters that were helping to save abandoned dogs across the country. I love animals, and I felt an urge to go to this fundraising event. However, none of my co-workers would go with me, and I was worried about walking on the street alone at night.
I resigned myself to spending the evening in my hotel room, but as soon as I got back to my room I felt restless and bored. The theater where the event was taking place was only about five blocks from the hotel, and the area around the hotel didn’t seem particularly dangerous. So, I decided to brave it. I gathered up my wallet and room key and set off.
It was already getting dark and the streets were nearly deserted. I managed to find the street the theater was on, but when I turned the corner, I stopped in shock. In front of the theater were a group of bikers — very big, tough-looking bikers.
I’ve known lots of motorcycle enthusiasts and most are nice people. However, in this case, I was a woman all alone, in a strange neighborhood, at night, and there were twenty or so very large men — all wearing insignia (徽章) that indicated they were in some sort of club — standing before me. Warning bells began to sound in my head, and my heart was pounding. Was I at the right theater Had I misread the date of the event
A sign outside the theater told me that I was in the right place on the right evening. Nevertheless, I wondered if I should rush back to my hotel instead of walking through that crowd of bikers. I finally decided that I would be safer inside the theater. Hopefully, the bikers would have gone away by the time the film was over.

66．I hurried into the theater, only to find there were even more bikers inside. They were chatting loudly and seemed to fill every corner of the place. My heart sank even further. I quickly found an empty seat in the back row, trying to make myself as inconspicuous as possible. I clutched my bag tightly, constantly glancing around, praying that nothing bad would happen. Every now and then, I peeked at the bikers, wondering what they were doing here. Were they going to cause trouble The tension in the air was palpable, and I regretted my decision to come alone.
When the film began, I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group. They had come to support the fundraiser for the local animal shelters. As the documentary unfolded, showing the plight of the abandoned dogs, I saw many of the bikers wiping away tears. They were as moved as I was by the heartwarming and heartbreaking stories. During the intermission, some of them even came over to me, smiling kindly and asking if I was enjoying the film. Their tough exteriors hid big, soft hearts. I felt ashamed of my initial fear and was truly grateful that I had decided to come.
67．One possible version:
When it comes to how to improve our English learning efficiency, I would like to propose a new strategy. I suggest we start a “Tutoring Program” where students excelling in English can help those who are struggling.
The reason why I put forward this proposal is that this kind of tutoring has been proven to enhance our understanding of materials. Besides, it can also foster a supportive learning environment and strengthen the bond of our relationship. Not only does this method reinforce the knowledge of the tutors but it also provides personalized guidance to the learners.
I hope this method will lead to better English proficiency. Let’s work together to get our English improved!
