The world’s longest and most demanding competition is underway as competitors adventure 36,000 miles around the planet on sailboats. The race is intense-but it’s not just about winning and glory. The sailors are also part-time citizen scientists competing on boats outfitted with tools that gather data on how climate change is impacting the world’ s oceans.
The sailing competition, called The Ocean Race, started in January. Those competing started in Spain, then raced down the coast of Africa before cutting across the Indian and Southern oceans to reach Brazil. They then headed up the eastern coast of the Americas before crossing the Atlantic Ocean to get to Denmark. This week, the teams will leave Denmark on the final two legs of the race, which ends in late June in Italy.
Each team is working to track how climate change is impacting the oceans, which are rapidly warming from absorbing 90% of the excess (过量的) heat created by planet warming greenhouse gas emissions (排放). Oceans provide about 50% of the oxygen humans breathe, making their health critical to human health.
The boats, which serve as high-speed laboratories, measure everything from sea surface temperatures to oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. The scientists onboard have also detected microplastics in nearly every sample they’ve taken so far. The data they collect is distributed worldwide.
The racers send all the data they collect to a satellite in real time, sharing 25 .000 data points per day. The boats also go where few scientific missions travel, making the data they collect especially valuable. The third leg of the race was a 38-day sail through the Antarctic Ocean.
“I truly think the data is invaluable because it’ s collecting information from parts of the ocean that we rarely have an opportunity to collect data from,” said Jon Hare, a scientist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
8. What does the underlined word “outfitted” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Equipped. B. Supplied. C. Presented. D. Satisfied.
9. Where will the race end
A. In Spain. B. In India. C. In Brazil. D. In Italy.
10. What is special about the data
A. It is related to endangered species. B. It covers some from remote areas.
C. It is analyzed in high-speed labs. D. It is mainly collected by satellites.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Training part-time citizen scientists at sea. B. An exploration of the habitats of sea life.
C. Collecting climate data around the world. D. A sailing competition around the Antarctic.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】

【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“The sailors are also part-time citizen scientists competing on boats (这些水手也是在船上比赛的兼职公民科学家)”以及后面的内容“with tools that gather data on how climate change is impacting the world’ s oceans.(用工具收集气候变化如何影响世界海洋的数据。)”可知，参赛者们同样也是兼职科学家，因此他们在比赛的过程中装备了一些工具来收集气候变化对世界海洋产生影响的数据。因此划线词与A选项“Equipped.(装备)”为同义词。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“This week, the teams will leave Denmark on the final two legs of the race, which ends in late June in Italy.(本周，车队将离开丹麦参加最后两站的比赛，比赛将于6月底在意大利结束。)”可知，该比赛将在意大利结束。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The boats also go where few scientific missions travel, making the data they collect especially valuable. (这些船也会去很少有科学任务去的地方，这使得它们收集的数据特别有价值。)”可知，科学家们所收集的数据还包括其他科学研究很少去的地方即这些数据覆盖了遥远的偏僻地区，由此使得该数据是非常有价值的。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，本文介绍了一项名为“The Ocean Race”的帆船比赛，参赛选手不仅为了荣誉而竞争，还作为兼职公民科学家，在船上携带工具收集关于气候变化对世界海洋的影响的数据。C选项“Collecting climate data around the world.(收集世界各地的气候数据。)”概括文章主要内容，指明“The Ocean Race”的帆船比赛以及参赛者的目的即收集气候变化对世界海洋产生影响的数据。故选C。

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- -篇完整的短文。
Once upon a time, there was a small village in the heart of a big jungle on a land far away. Surrounded by mountains and in the shade of green trees, the villagers lived a happy life. All of them were used to their robotic daily tasks and none of them had the imagination or the will to try something new, except for one girl named Hannah,
Hannah was an adventurous spirit with an imagination far beyond her time. She loved to explore and would spend hours in the woods looking for new things. She loved to create stories in her head and used to imagine herself as one of her characters. One afternoon, when Hannah was on one of her adventures, she came upon an abandoned cottage. The cottage looked very old in its condition. The door was barely hanging and the wood was chipping away. Even though Hannah’s mother had strictly warned her not to go wandering in abandoned places , her curiosity got the best of her. She tip-toed (蹑手蹑脚) slowly to the door and slowly opened it and she was left shocked.In front of Hannah was a room full of books! Books shining in the dust, basking in the warm sunlight just waiting to be explored. Hannah’ s excitement was visible on her face as she jumped up and down with joy!
Hannah became excited as she realized that she had found a hidden treasure. She knew in her heart that she had to read all of them so she quickly got to work. She dusted the books, the shelves,and what was left of the furniture. Hannah swept and dusted all day long until she realized that it was dark and she had to go back to her home. But she couldn’t get herself to leave without at least reading one. So Hannah picked two books and decided to read them at her home.
She met her friends on the way home who were curious about what Hannah was carrying. In her excitement, Hannah shared everything with her friends. She was thinking that her friends will share her excitement but instead, she heard roars of laughter!
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Hannah was confused by this reaction and a little hurt too, but she did not give up her books.

She wanted to fire the curiosity and imagination in her friends.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Hannah was confused by this reaction and a little hurt too, but she did not give up her books. She went home and all night long, she read the adventurous tales hidden in the book cover. The next day, she quickly finished her breakfast and made her way to the cottage again. There she read different stories. Hannah’s imagination took her to a different world. She was so inspired by the books that the characters and the stories within them became her mentor. She learned a lot from them.
She wanted to fire the curiosity and imagination in her friends. Making this her mission, Hannah started telling tales every day at her cottage. She added her own touch of curiosity every now and then to different stories, making them more interesting. In the beginning, only her very good friends came to the readings. But to her excitement, the word of her famous tales spread rapidly, causing more and more people to come to the readings. Seeing the interest of people, Hannah started writing stories of her own too! Soon, the word of Hannah’s storytelling spread to far-off towns.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。Hannah是一个富有冒险精神的女孩儿，一天她在探险的时候发现了一个小屋，里面有许多书籍，她对这些书籍非常感兴趣。读书丰富了她的想象力，让她学到了许多东西。她还在小屋讲故事，想要激发其他人的好奇心和想象力。而且她还自己写故事。她的名声很快便传播开来。
【详解】1. 续写线索：
由续写第一段首句“Hannah被这种反应弄糊涂了，也有点受伤，但她并没有放弃她的书。”可知，第一段可以描写Hannah读书后带来的变化，读书让她丰富了想象力，学到了许多知识。
由续写第二段首句“她想激发朋友们的好奇心和想象力。”可知，第二段可以描写Hannah读书后用自己的努力来激发人们的好奇心和想象力。
2. 段落续写：
Hannah没有放弃自己的书——读书丰富了想象力、增加了知识——决定激发朋友们的好奇心和想象力——在小屋讲故事——自己写故事——名声远扬

The world’s longest and most demanding competition is underway as competitors adventure 36,000 miles around the planet on sailboats. The race is intense-but it’s not just about winning and glory. The sailors are also part-time citizen scientists competing on boats outfitted with tools that gather data on how climate change is impacting the world’ s oceans.
The sailing competition, called The Ocean Race, started in January. Those competing started in Spain, then raced down the coast of Africa before cutting across the Indian and Southern oceans to reach Brazil. They then headed up the eastern coast of the Americas before crossing the Atlantic Ocean to get to Denmark. This week, the teams will leave Denmark on the final two legs of the race, which ends in late June in Italy.
Each team is working to track how climate change is impacting the oceans, which are rapidly warming from absorbing 90% of the excess (过量的) heat created by planet warming greenhouse gas emissions (排放). Oceans provide about 50% of the oxygen humans breathe, making their health critical to human health.
The boats, which serve as high-speed laboratories, measure everything from sea surface temperatures to oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. The scientists onboard have also detected microplastics in nearly every sample they’ve taken so far. The data they collect is distributed worldwide.
The racers send all the data they collect to a satellite in real time, sharing 25 .000 data points per day. The boats also go where few scientific missions travel, making the data they collect especially valuable. The third leg of the race was a 38-day sail through the Antarctic Ocean.
“I truly think the data is invaluable because it’ s collecting information from parts of the ocean that we rarely have an opportunity to collect data from,” said Jon Hare, a scientist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
8. What does the underlined word “outfitted” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Equipped. B. Supplied. C. Presented. D. Satisfied.
9. Where will the race end
A. In Spain. B. In India. C. In Brazil. D. In Italy.
10. What is special about the data
A. It is related to endangered species. B. It covers some from remote areas.
C. It is analyzed in high-speed labs. D. It is mainly collected by satellites.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Training part-time citizen scientists at sea. B. An exploration of the habitats of sea life.
C. Collecting climate data around the world. D. A sailing competition around the Antarctic.

Olympic Games organizers in France presented the 2024 Olympic torch (火炬) that will light the Summer Games in the country a year from now. In the Olympic torch tradition, many people carry the torch in turn from Greece to the current location of the Games.

He said the torch is equal from top to bottom and all around the middle, which stands for equality between athletes. The twisting shape of the torch represents peace.
The torch was made with lightweight steel. Its lower half copies the movement of the Seine, along which the opening ceremony will take place for over 500,000 viewers.
Lehanneur said he wants the torch to represent the kind of event that Paris 2024 hopes to be. “I wanted to move away from the torch appearing as an object of conquest (征服),” Lehanneur said. He also told reporters that designing the torch was much more techn1cal than he thought it would be. “The magic is not the torch itself. but the flame” Lehanneur said.
The torch will be lit up in Olympia, Grecce on April 16, 2024, followed by a nine day torch relay before sailing across the Mediterranean Sea from Athens to Marseille on May 8. It will then pass through several important places , which include Strasbourg , the Pantheon in Paris, the Mont Saint-Michel and multiple French territories.
Tony Estanguet, the Paris 2024 chief, said the torch is “very ,very beautiful”. He also said it is “...very pure, It’s perfectly balanced in the hand.”
12. Why is the torch equal from top to bottom
A. It is easy for torch-bearers to carry. B. It is the symbol of the Seine River.
C. It represents peace among nations. D. It shows equality between players.
13. What can be inferred from Lehanneur’s words
A. He wishes Paris 2024 to be the best ever. B. The torch is more important than the flame.
C Designing the torch is harder than he thinks. D. He thinks highly of the torch’s appearance.
14. How long will it take the torch to travel from Greece to France

Once upon a time, there was a small village in the heart of a big jungle on a land far away. Surrounded by mountains and in the shade of green trees, the villagers lived a happy life. All of them were used to their robotic daily tasks and none of them had the imagination or the will to try something new, except for one girl named Hannah,
Hannah was an adventurous spirit with an imagination far beyond her time. She loved to explore and would spend hours in the woods looking for new things. She loved to create stories in her head and used to imagine herself as one of her characters. One afternoon, when Hannah was on one of her adventures, she came upon an abandoned cottage. The cottage looked very old in its condition. The door was barely hanging and the wood was chipping away. Even though Hannah’s mother had strictly warned her not to go wandering in abandoned places , her curiosity got the best of her. She tip-toed (蹑手蹑脚) slowly to the door and slowly opened it and she was left shocked.In front of Hannah was a room full of books! Books shining in the dust, basking in the warm sunlight just waiting to be explored. Hannah’ s excitement was visible on her face as she jumped up and down with joy!
Hannah became excited as she realized that she had found a hidden treasure. She knew in her heart that she had to read all of them so she quickly got to work. She dusted the books, the shelves,and what was left of the furniture. Hannah swept and dusted all day long until she realized that it was dark and she had to go back to her home. But she couldn’t get herself to leave without at least reading one. So Hannah picked two books and decided to read them at her home.
She met her friends on the way home who were curious about what Hannah was carrying. In her excitement, Hannah shared everything with her friends. She was thinking that her friends will share her excitement but instead, she heard roars of laughter!
