The best time of the year to visit is when the weather is pleasant in the spring and fall. The park has four main parts: The Maze, Island in the Sky, The Needles, and Horseshoe Canyon. If you plan to visit every part, you can go on a boat tour to explore it.
Arches National Park
Known as a red-rock wonderland, Arches National Park is popular for its stone arches (石拱).The park has over 2,000 stone arches, with Landscape Arch the largest. The park is busiest from March through October. However, the spring and fall temperatures are the most comfortable. So, the best time to visit is April, May, September and October.

At 104 years old, Dorothy Hoffner fell. Then she kept falling, and falling. When the lifelong Chicagoan finally touched the ground last Sunday, she landed in the history books and became the oldest person to ever sky-dive (跳伞).
As Hoffner prepared to board, she pushed her red walker out and walked slowly to the plane, where two expert instructors helped her up the steps into the hold. “Let’s go!” she said, finally seated. The plane quickly rose, Hoffner looking calm and confident all the while.
When the aft (机尾) door opened to show the crop fields far below, she and the instructor were ready to stand up. When Hoffner first sky-dived at 100 years old, she was pushed out, she said. This time, she wanted to lead the jump.
Seven minutes after her jump, she moved slowly in the air for her historic landing. The wind pushed back her white hair. A look of excitement and wonder spread across her face. She picked up her legs as the ground approached. And finally, she managed to land on the ground.
The crowd gathered along the landing area. Friends rushed to share the moment. Someone brought over Hoffner’s red walker. She rose fast, and a reporter asked how it felt to be back on the ground. “The whole thing was wonderful, and couldn’t have been better,” she said.
The Guinness World Record for oldest skydiver was set in May 2022 by 103-year-oldLinnéa Ingegard Larsson from Sweden. When asked how it felt like to break the record, Hoffner replied quickly, “Like I’m old.” But the record didn’t seem to interest Hoffner before the jump. Instead, she focused on the peaceful falling through the sky. Hoffner strongly encouraged others to sky-dive like her. “It’s surprisingly affordable and so amazing,” she said.
24. What did Hoffner do last Sunday
A. She reported a sports event. B. She managed to sky-dive.
C. She celebrated her birthday. D. She wrote a history book.
25. How did Hoffner feel after landing on the ground
A. Surprised. B. Anxious. C. Excited. D. Hopeless.
26. Which probably attracted Hoffner most before her jump
A. The falling in the air. B. Her family’s help.
C. The low cost of the jump. D. Her friends’ support.
27. What can we learn from Hoffner’s story
A. To see is to believe. B. Time tells everything.
C. Hard work pays off. D. Age is just a number.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. D

【27题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“At 104 years old, Dorothy Hoffner fell. Then she kept falling, and falling. When the lifelong Chicagoan finally touched the ground last Sunday, she landed in the history books and became the oldest person to ever sky-dive(跳伞). (104岁时，多萝西·霍夫纳跳下来。然后她不停地往下掉，一直往下掉。上周日，当这位终身芝加哥人终于触地时，她被载入史册，成为有史以来跳伞年龄最大的人。)”可知，年龄只是一个数字，我们要勇于尝试。故选D。

As children returned to school in Sweden last month, many of their teachers were putting a new importance on some traditional skills. These included reading printed books, quiet reading time and handwriting practice. Teachers were spending less time on digital products, online research and typing skills.
The return to traditional ways of learning might be the answer to questions raised by experts. They have questioned the country’s dependence on electronic technology in education. For example, schools in Sweden have introduced tablets (平板电脑) in preschools.
Lotta Edholm, Swedish Minister for Schools, was one of the biggest critics (反对者) of the level of technology in schools. “Sweden’s students need more textbooks,” Edholm said. “Physical books are important for student learning.” Edholm said last month that the government wants to reverse the decision made by the National Agency for Education to make digital products required in preschools. The ministry plans to stop digital learning for children under the age of six.
Sweden’s students score above the European average (平均分) for reading ability. But an international test of fourth grade reading levels showed Sweden’s children had lost ground between 2016 and 2021. “An overuse of electronic products during school lessons may cause kids to fall behind,” education experts said.
Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, a medical school centered on research, said in a statement last month, “It has been proved that digital tools harm rather than benefit student learning.” It added that schools should instead center on teaching using printed textbooks.
Not all experts think Sweden’s move away from digital technology is only about what is best for students. “It ignores the fact that technology improves learning,” said Neil Selwyn, a professor of education.
28. How does digital technology influence schools in Sweden
A. They act as a role model. B. They tend to depend on it.
C. They center on written tests. D. They value students’ talents.
29. What does the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Acquire. B. Change. C. Recover. D. Follow.
30. What does Neil Selwyn think of Sweden’s move
A. It is an ill-considered step. B. It achieves great results.
C. It is easy to be carried out. D. It opens children’s mind.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Advantage of Traditional Skills
B. Recent Advances in Electronic Technology
C. Sweden Starts to Control Digital Products in Schools
D. Students in Europe Gave an Impressive Performance
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要叙述了瑞典小学提倡重拾书本和纸笔，提高学习能力，减少对电子科技的依赖。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They have questioned the country’s dependence on electronic technology in education. (他们质疑该国在教育上对电子技术的依赖)”可知，瑞典学校依赖于电子科技是其影响。故选B。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“The ministry plans to stop digital learning for children under the age of six. (教育部计划停止6岁以下儿童的数字化学习)”可知瑞典教育部计划停止幼儿园儿童进行数字化学习，结合划线词所在句子decision的具体内容“to make digital products required in preschools (将数字设备设为幼儿园必需用品)”可知，此处划线词“reverse”表示“推翻，改变”的意思，即反对将数字设备设为幼儿园必需品。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Not all experts think Sweden’s move away from digital technology is only about what is best for students. (并不是所有的专家都认为瑞典远离数字技术只是为了对学生最好)”和Neil Selwyn所说的““It ignores the fact that technology improves learning,” said Neil Selwyn, a professor of education. (教育学教授Neil Selwyn说，“它忽略了技术改善学习的事实。”)”可知Neil Selwyn并不认同瑞典远离电子技术的举动，因为技术确实改善了学习，所以她对这一行动持负面态度，A选项“It is an ill-considered step. (这是一个考虑不周的手段)”符合题意。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“As children returned to school in Sweden last month, many of their teachers were putting a new importance on some traditional skills. These included reading printed books, quiet reading time and handwriting practice. Teachers were spending less time on digital products, online research and typing skills.(上个月，当瑞典的孩子们重返校园时，他们的许多老师重新重视了一些传统技能。这些包括阅读印刷书籍，安静的阅读时间和手写练习。教师花在数字产品、在线研究和打字技能上的时间减少了)”可知文章首段介绍了瑞典学校开始回归传统的学习技能去减少对电子科技的依赖。后续段落进一步解释了该举动的原因以及专家对此的态度。所以C选项“Sweden Starts to Control Digital Products in Schools (瑞典开始控制学校的数字产品)”符合本篇文章标题。故选C。
D
Antarctica (南极洲) is a great, icy land, surrounded by the huge Southern Ocean. The ice in Antarctica doesn’t just cover the land. There’s also a large area of sea ice, which floats (漂浮) on the ocean’s surface.
Scientists have been measuring the area of the sea ice in Antarctica since 1979. For most of this time, Antarctica has seemed to be almost not influenced by the changing weather conditions experienced in other parts of the planet. In fact, until recent years, Antartica’s sea ice area mainly set records for growing.
That began to change around 2016. Now, for several years, the area of Antartica’s sea ice has been getting smaller. This year, the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reported that Antartica’s sea ice reached its maximum on September 10 — almost two weeks earlier than normal. And the sea ice was at a new record low — not just by a little bit, but by a lot.
The last time Antartica’s low sea ice set a record at the end of winter was in 1986. And this year, there’s about 1.03 million square kilometers less sea ice than in 1986. It’s hard to picture such a large area, but it’s around 1.6 times the size of France.
Scientists are still trying to understand what is driving the change in Antarctica. Ted Scambos, a research scientist at the University of Colorado, says, “Antarctica’s ice levels have always changed some, but the situation this year is pointing towards warmer ocean conditions around the area.”
The new low record has scientists worried. The sea ice is important, because it helps cool the planet. When it’s frozen, sea ice reflects sunlight back out into space. But when the sea ice melts (融化), the water left behind is darker, and takes in and keeps more heat.
32. What did NSIDC find about the sea ice in Antarctica this year
A. It protected the wildlife in the ocean. B. It grew and covered a wider area.
C. It turned out to be difficult to observe. D. It reached a new record low level.
33. Why does the author mention France in paragraph 4
A. To present the total area of the country.
B. To introduce a new topic for discussion.
C. To show the sharp loss of Antarctica’s sea ice.
D. To explain the position of the wonderful land.
34. What causes the change in Antarctica according to Ted Scambos
A. Low rainfall. B. Rising temperatures.
C. Cold weather. D. Short summer months.
35. What can we know about Antarctica’s sea ice
A. It’s key to the earth’s cooling system. B. It’s just a short-term problem.
C. It reminds us to find water resources. D. It offers humans a bright future.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了，今年南极洲的海冰面积创下历史新低，引发科学家担忧。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中“Now, for several years, the area of Antartica’s sea ice has been getting smaller. This year, the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reported that Antartica’s sea ice reached its maximum on September 10 — almost two weeks earlier than normal. And the sea ice was at a new record low — not just by a little bit, but by a lot. (现在，几年来，南极洲的海冰面积一直在变小。今年，美国国家冰雪数据中心（NSIDC）报告称，南极洲的海冰在9月10日达到最大值，比正常情况早了近两周。海冰也创下了历史新低——不仅少一点点，而且少很多)”可知，NSIDC今年对南极洲海冰的检测，发现南极洲的海冰面积达到了历史新低。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段“The last time Antartica’s low sea ice set a record at the end of winter was in 1986. And this year, there’s about 1.03 million square kilometers less sea ice than in 1986. It’s hard to picture such a large area, but it’s around 1.6 times the size of France. (上一次南极洲在1986年冬季结束时创下海冰面积少纪录。今年的海冰面积比1986年减少了约103万平方公里。很难想象这么大的面积，但它的面积大约是法国的1.6倍)”可知，30多年的时间，南极洲海冰消失的面积相当于法国国土面积，这是很大的面积，提到法国是为了显示南极洲海冰的急剧减少。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。由倒数第二段中Ted Scambos说的话“Antarctica’s ice levels have always changed some, but the situation this year is pointing towards warmer ocean conditions around the area.”(南极洲的冰平面总是有一些变化，但今年的情况表明，该地区周围的海洋条件更加温暖)”可知，Ted Scambos认为气温上升导致了南极洲的变化。故选B项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中“The sea ice is important, because it helps cool the planet. When it’s frozen, sea ice reflects sunlight back out into space. But when the sea ice melts (融化), the water left behind is darker, and takes in and keeps more heat. (海冰很重要，因为它有助于冷却地球。当海冰结冰时，它会将阳光反射回太空。但当海冰融化时，留下的水会变黑，吸收并保持更多的热量)”可知，海冰对地球有冷却作用，说明南极洲的海冰是地球冷却系统的关键。故选A项。
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。
There is seemingly endless advice to help parents raise healthy and responsible children. ____36____. Aunts, uncles, and even trusted neighbors play a unique role in shaping the little members of our society. Here are some tips on how to be a supportive adult to the kids in your life.
____37____
The great part about not being a parent to a child is that you get to choose how much you want to engage (参与) and in what ways. Some aunties and uncles want to send cards full of money on birthdays and holidays. ____38____. Whatever your style, the first step in being a supportive adult in a kid’s life is understanding your own interests and being clear about what you can and can’t give.
Come up with a routine (常规做法) for staying in touch
Once you know your role, start thinking about how often you want to practice it. Are you checking in every day or once a week Do you go to all the football games When it comes to building relationships with kids, try to stick to a schedule that you find proper. ____39____. It could be something more like buying the kids lunch every once in a while.
Provide non-judgmental support
Kids might be afraid to share certain things with their parents because they’re afraid they’ll get in trouble. However, in an auntie-child relationship, for example, you’re not the primary caretaker. Unlike being a parent, there’s less pressure for you to always be the perfect role model. In this safe zone (区域), you can listen to kids a little bit more differently than their parents. ____40____.
A. Figure out your role
B. Provide kids with various options
C. Others want to do school pickup every week
D. Something good will take place in the future
E. But parents aren’t the only people who help raise kids

【答案】36. E 37. A 38. C 39. F 40. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是教你成为一个支持你生活中孩子的成年人的一些建议。
【36题详解】
空后“Aunts, uncles, and even trusted neighbors play a unique role in shaping the little members of our society.(阿姨，叔叔，甚至值得信赖的邻居在塑造我们社会的小成员方面发挥着独特的作用。)”说明阿姨叔叔对孩子的成长也是有影响的，也就是说不光是父母不是唯一塑造孩子的人，E选项“But parents aren’t the only people who help raise kids(但父母并不是唯一帮助抚养孩子的人)”说明了父母不是唯一帮助抚养孩子的人，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选E。
【37题详解】
空格处是本段小标题，由空后的“The great part about not being a parent to a child is that you get to choose how much you want to engage (参与) and in what ways.(不做孩子的父母的好处是，你可以选择你想参与的程度和方式。)”可知，本段主要讲的是叔叔阿姨们要想清楚在孩子的生活中扮演什么角色，A选项“Figure out your role (明确你的角色)”说明了要明确自己在孩子的生活中的角色，概括了本段内容，可作为小标题，故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英语这门语言对中国的影响以及在中国的发展。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在当今世界，英语已成为国际交流语言，并在推动中国经济增长和社会发展方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。空前是介词in，所以空处填动名词driving，表示“推动，促进”，故填driving。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：对于像中国这样在世界事务中发挥越来越大作用的大经济体来说，英语是非常重要的。分析句子结构，此处考查限制性定语从句，修饰先行词China，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意：对于像中国这样在世界事务中发挥越来越大作用的大经济体来说，英语是非常重要的。空前是形容词great，所以该空填名词importance，不可数名词，构成固定短语be of importance，表示“重要”，故填importance。
【59题详解】
考查连词。句意：良好的英语水平为中国打开了更多机遇的大门，并增强了中国的整体国际竞争力。分析句子结构，谓语动词strengthens和opends并列，主语都是Good English proficiency，前后句意呈顺承关系，所以填并列连词and。故填and。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意：“最终，这也是关于学习一种新的思维方式。它是你与外部世界联系的强大工具。” 分析句子成分，该空在句中作状语，修饰后面的整个句子，所以要用副词eventually，表示“最终”。空格置于句首，首字母要大写。故填Eventually。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意同上。 空后是名词tool，所以该空填形容词powerful作定语，表示“强大的”，故填powerful。
【62题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：1978年是该领域具有历史意义的一年，因为它被列为中国高考的考试科目之一。根据空前提示“one of ”可知，此处填可数名词复数形式subject，表示“科目”。故填subjects。
63题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：从那以后，这门语言变得越来越重要。分析句子成分，该空在句中作谓语动词。由提示词ever since可知，时态为现在完成时，主语是单数，所以填has become。故填has become。
【64题详解】
考查介词和固定短语。句意：“尽管中国人对自己的文化和语言感到自豪，但他们普遍愿意学习西方的文化和语言。” 此处考查固定短语be proud of，表示“对……骄傲，自豪”。故填介词of。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“尽管中国人对自己的文化和语言感到自豪，但他们普遍愿意学习西方的文化和语言。” 此处考查be willing to do sth，表示“愿意做某事”，所以填不定式to learn。故填to learn。

67. 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 thought my parents were crazy when they said over dinner one night that I was going to have a brother or sister in about nine months. I always wanted a little brother or sister, and now I was finally going to get one. However, I was at a point in my life where I was used to not having brothers or sisters, and being the center of attention at home.
The next several months were filled with excitement as we prepared for the new addition to the family. My Aunt Dorothy and Aunt Lynda threw her a wonderful baby shower. To my surprise, I also received presents. My family was worried about how I would feel once the baby was born, so they showered me with attention. All of my friends were excited for me. In a way, I thought they were looking forward to me experiencing the pains of being an elder sister.
The following days went by rather quickly. Before I knew it, one summer morning in June my mom was taken to the hospital. I was visiting my Aunt Lynda in Missouri when we got the call that my mom was in labor (分娩), so we drove to the hospital, hoping that we wouldn’t miss the big event. We stepped into the hospital at 12:03 p.m., which was the exact time my sister, Bekah, was born.
My mom had some complications (并发症) after the delivery. What was supposed to be a time of celebration now became a life-or-death waiting game. My first reaction was to hate the baby, since I felt it was all her fault (错误) that this happened. I had my mom to myself for fifteen years of my life, and now it looked as if she was going to be taken away from me forever.
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。
When I saw Bekah for the first time, those bad feelings went away.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One week later, my mom pulled through, and it was time to go home.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
When I saw Bekah for the first time, those bad feelings went away. As I looked into her tiny face and heard her soft cries, all of my resentment and anger melted away. The sight of her brought a wave of love and protectiveness that I had never experienced before. Suddenly, it didn’t matter that I was no longer the center of attention in our family. I realized that having a little sister meant having a lifelong friend to share adventures, secrets, and laughter with. I felt a deep sense of responsibility to be the best big sister I could be and to support my mom in any way possible.
One week later, my mom pulled through, and it was time to go home. The house was filled with excitement as we prepared to embark on this new chapter of our lives together. My parents had rearranged the bedrooms, creating a cozy nursery for Bekah, complete with a crib, toys, and adorable decorations. As her big sister, I learned valuable lessons about selflessness, patience, and unconditional love. I was grateful for the precious gift of sisterhood and looked forward to the beautiful journey our family would set out on.

At 104 years old, Dorothy Hoffner fell. Then she kept falling, and falling. When the lifelong Chicagoan finally touched the ground last Sunday, she landed in the history books and became the oldest person to ever sky-dive (跳伞).
As Hoffner prepared to board, she pushed her red walker out and walked slowly to the plane, where two expert instructors helped her up the steps into the hold. “Let’s go!” she said, finally seated. The plane quickly rose, Hoffner looking calm and confident all the while.
When the aft (机尾) door opened to show the crop fields far below, she and the instructor were ready to stand up. When Hoffner first sky-dived at 100 years old, she was pushed out, she said. This time, she wanted to lead the jump.
Seven minutes after her jump, she moved slowly in the air for her historic landing. The wind pushed back her white hair. A look of excitement and wonder spread across her face. She picked up her legs as the ground approached. And finally, she managed to land on the ground.
The crowd gathered along the landing area. Friends rushed to share the moment. Someone brought over Hoffner’s red walker. She rose fast, and a reporter asked how it felt to be back on the ground. “The whole thing was wonderful, and couldn’t have been better,” she said.
The Guinness World Record for oldest skydiver was set in May 2022 by 103-year-oldLinnéa Ingegard Larsson from Sweden. When asked how it felt like to break the record, Hoffner replied quickly, “Like I’m old.” But the record didn’t seem to interest Hoffner before the jump. Instead, she focused on the peaceful falling through the sky. Hoffner strongly encouraged others to sky-dive like her. “It’s surprisingly affordable and so amazing,” she said.

A. She reported a sports event. B. She managed to sky-dive.
C. She celebrated her birthday. D. She wrote a history book.
25. How did Hoffner feel after landing on the ground

As children returned to school in Sweden last month, many of their teachers were putting a new importance on some traditional skills. These included reading printed books, quiet reading time and handwriting practice. Teachers were spending less time on digital products, online research and typing skills.
The return to traditional ways of learning might be the answer to questions raised by experts. They have questioned the country’s dependence on electronic technology in education. For example, schools in Sweden have introduced tablets (平板电脑) in preschools.
Lotta Edholm, Swedish Minister for Schools, was one of the biggest critics (反对者) of the level of technology in schools. “Sweden’s students need more textbooks,” Edholm said. “Physical books are important for student learning.” Edholm said last month that the government wants to reverse the decision made by the National Agency for Education to make digital products required in preschools. The ministry plans to stop digital learning for children under the age of six.
Sweden’s students score above the European average (平均分) for reading ability. But an international test of fourth grade reading levels showed Sweden’s children had lost ground between 2016 and 2021. “An overuse of electronic products during school lessons may cause kids to fall behind,” education experts said.
Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, a medical school centered on research, said in a statement last month, “It has been proved that digital tools harm rather than benefit student learning.” It added that schools should instead center on teaching using printed textbooks.
Not all experts think Sweden’s move away from digital technology is only about what is best for students. “It ignores the fact that technology improves learning,” said Neil Selwyn, a professor of education.
28. How does digital technology influence schools in Sweden
A. They act as a role model. B. They tend to depend on it.
C. They center on written tests. D. They value students’ talents.
29 What does the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Acquire. B. Change. C. Recover. D. Follow.
30. What does Neil Selwyn think of Sweden’s move
A. It is an ill-considered step. B. It achieves great results.
C. It is easy to be carried out. D. It opens children’s mind.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Advantage of Traditional Skills
B. Recent Advances in Electronic Technology
C. Sweden Starts to Control Digital Products in Schools
D. Students in Europe Gave an Impressive Performance
D
Antarctica (南极洲) is a great, icy land, surrounded by the huge Southern Ocean. The ice in Antarctica doesn’t just cover the land. There’s also a large area of sea ice, which floats (漂浮) on the ocean’s surface.
Scientists have been measuring the area of the sea ice in Antarctica since 1979. For most of this time, Antarctica has seemed to be almost not influenced by the changing weather conditions experienced in other parts of the planet. In fact, until recent years, Antartica’s sea ice area mainly set records for growing.
That began to change around 2016. Now, for several years, the area of Antartica’s sea ice has been getting smaller. This year, the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reported that Antartica’s sea ice reached its maximum on September 10 — almost two weeks earlier than normal. And the sea ice was at a new record low — not just by a little bit, but by a lot.
The last time Antartica’s low sea ice set a record at the end of winter was in 1986. And this year, there’s about 1.03 million square kilometers less sea ice than in 1986. It’s hard to picture such a large area, but it’s around 1.6 times the size of France.
Scientists are still trying to understand what is driving the change in Antarctica. Ted Scambos, a research scientist at the University of Colorado, says, “Antarctica’s ice levels have always changed some, but the situation this year is pointing towards warmer ocean conditions around the area.”
The new low record has scientists worried. The sea ice is important, because it helps cool the planet. When it’s frozen, sea ice reflects sunlight back out into space. But when the sea ice melts (融化), the water left behind is darker, and takes in and keeps more heat.
32. What did NSIDC find about the sea ice in Antarctica this year
A. It protected the wildlife in the ocean. B. It grew and covered a wider area.
C. It turned out to be difficult to observe. D. It reached a new record low level.
33. Why does the author mention France in paragraph 4
A. To present the total area of the country.
B. To introduce a new topic for discussion.
C. To show the sharp loss of Antarctica’s sea ice.
D. To explain the position of the wonderful land.
34. What causes the change in Antarctica according to Ted Scambos
A Low rainfall. B. Rising temperatures.
C. Cold weather. D. Short summer months.
35. What can we know about Antarctica’s sea ice
A. It’s key to the earth’s cooling system. B. It’s just a short-term problem.
C. It reminds us to find water resources. D. It offers humans a bright future.

67. 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 thought my parents were crazy when they said over dinner one night that I was going to have a brother or sister in about nine months. I always wanted a little brother or sister, and now I was finally going to get one. However, I was at a point in my life where I was used to not having brothers or sisters, and being the center of attention at home.
The next several months were filled with excitement as we prepared for the new addition to the family. My Aunt Dorothy and Aunt Lynda threw her a wonderful baby shower. To my surprise, I also received presents. My family was worried about how I would feel once the baby was born, so they showered me with attention. All of my friends were excited for me. In a way, I thought they were looking forward to me experiencing the pains of being an elder sister.
The following days went by rather quickly. Before I knew it, one summer morning in June my mom was taken to the hospital. I was visiting my Aunt Lynda in Missouri when we got the call that my mom was in labor (分娩), so we drove to the hospital, hoping that we wouldn’t miss the big event. We stepped into the hospital at 12:03 p.m., which was the exact time my sister, Bekah, was born.
My mom had some complications (并发症) after the delivery. What was supposed to be a time of celebration now became a life-or-death waiting game. My first reaction was to hate the baby, since I felt it was all her fault (错误) that this happened. I had my mom to myself for fifteen years of my life, and now it looked as if she was going to be taken away from me forever.
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。
When I saw Bekah for the first time, those bad feelings went away.
