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. After it has traveled thousands of kilometers. the torch will light the Olympic cauldron (火炬台) at the Opening Ceremony of the next Olympic Games.

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.”

Trainers and parents saw children play sports at a young age and then saw them become professional. Many correlated the training to petitive sports are good for young children because they teach children life skills, provide health benefits, and offer special opportunities.
To begin with, sports teach children life skills. A formal athlete stated, “I played soccer in high school and college and found team sports weren’t just about winning, but also about developing a solid ethic(行为准则), and learning why that’s important.” In short, playing highly competitive sports teaches kids many life skills like teamwork. People will have to use teamwork for the rest of their life, and sports can help them improve that skill. Taking part in sports can help develop a positive attitude towards life, which will help in the long run.
Sports are also good for kids because they provide health benefits. It is healthier for a kid to play a sport competitively than to waste time playing video games all day. Furthermore, a research group of University of California said, “96 percent of the participants(参与者) said they enjoy their sports. They’re all loving life.” That is to say, kids playing highly competitive sports tend to enjoy life instead of doing something else like watching TV.
On the other hand, some people might argue that competitive sports are bad for young children because they are so time-consuming. However, the time spent is not “robbing” kids of their childhood, but offers unique opportunities. Athletes can get success to live their dream life by playing sports. Even though sports are time-consuming, they offer distinctive opportunities.
In conclusion, competitive sports are good for children because they can provide wholesome benefits, create new experiences, and build skills that will last a lifetime.
8. Why is the formal athlete mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To show a reason B. To give an example.
C. To list a background. D. To draw out a new point.
9. What is the most participants’ attitude to sports
A. Supportive. B. Uncertain. C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful.
10. What does the underlined word “distinctive” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Common B. Unreasonable C. Unique. D. Frequent.
11. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The ways to play sports.
B. The reasons for playing sports.
C. The problems of kids’ playing sports.
D. The benefits of kids’ playing sports.
D
Marine life (海洋生物) in Florida Keys is negatively influenced by two forces: human activity and climate change. The former involves fishing, tourism and diving while the latter causes a large increase in intense hurricanes. Fortunately, when the researchers of Florida Museum of Natural History started looking for sea urchins (海胆) on the ocean floor off the coast of Florida Keys in the summer of 2020, they uncovered their population had relatively been stable since the 1960s.
The researchers visited 27 sites along a 20-mile stretch of coast near Florida Keys looking for tracks that reflected the presence of burrowing echinoids (穴居海胆类动物). “The findings that burrowing echinoids have been highly resilient (有适应力的) against climate change and environmental pollution over the last 60 years was a huge discovery for us.” said study co-author Tobias Grun.
Grun said, “However, we know little about their current distribution, population size, and health. The reason is not the lack of interest by the scientific community but lies in that fieldwork is very expensive.”
As the climate crisis progresses, it’s important to understand why some marine creatures are more resilient in bearing the impacts of a worsening environment than others. Grun said, “Evolution may be at play. Some marine animals are very opportunistic. They can tolerate a wide range of abiotic factors like pH, temperature, and salinity, to name a few.”
Grun added, “At this point, our data show that burrowing echinoids are more resilient than many other marine species and are doing comparatively well. That does not mean that we can push our luck and keep going the way we are right now. Our study provides some hope that these creatures are resilient, but much more work is needed to translate our findings into a larger scale. The reasons for their resilience are also widely unknown.”
12. Which has an effect on the marine life in Florida Keys
A. Wildfire. B. Pollution. C. Fishing. D. Flood.
13. What did Grun think of the findings
A. Indifferent. B. Important. C. Subjective. D. Outdated
14. What was a challenge for the research according to Grun
A. The goal. B. The staff C. The cost D. The usage
15. What does Grun tell us in the last paragraph
A. It’s necessary to do further research.
B. It’s right to keep going the present way.
C. The reasons for sea urchins’ resilience are well known.
D. Fish are more resilient than other marine species.

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day, Robert and Henry were going home from school. On turning a cornner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”
“No” said Henry. “Let us go home quietly and not meddle with (管闲事) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together and I don’t want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward (懦夫), and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down on Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behaviour, because he knew that they misunderstood him, and that they ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home together with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled and cried for help, but he failed. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did nothing to help him.
Paragraph 1
It seemed as if Robert would be dying.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
Thus, Robert’s life was saved.

Trainers and parents saw children play sports at a young age and then saw them become professional. Many correlated the training to petitive sports are good for young children because they teach children life skills, provide health benefits, and offer special opportunities.
To begin with, sports teach children life skills. A formal athlete stated, “I played soccer in high school and college and found team sports weren’t just about winning, but also about developing a solid ethic(行为准则), and learning why that’s important.” In short, playing highly competitive sports teaches kids many life skills like teamwork. People will have to use teamwork for the rest of their life, and sports can help them improve that skill. Taking part in sports can help develop a positive attitude towards life, which will help in the long run.
Sports are also good for kids because they provide health benefits. It is healthier for a kid to play a sport competitively than to waste time playing video games all day. Furthermore, a research group of University of California said, “96 percent of the participants(参与者) said they enjoy their sports. They’re all loving life.” That is to say, kids playing highly competitive sports tend to enjoy life instead of doing something else like watching TV.
On the other hand, some people might argue that competitive sports are bad for young children because they are so time-consuming. However, the time spent is not “robbing” kids of their childhood, but offers unique opportunities. Athletes can get success to live their dream life by playing sports. Even though sports are time-consuming, they offer distinctive opportunities.
In conclusion, competitive sports are good for children because they can provide wholesome benefits, create new experiences, and build skills that will last a lifetime.
8. Why is the formal athlete mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To show a reason B. To give an example.
C. To list a background. D. To draw out a new point.
9. What is the most participants’ attitude to sports
A. Supportive. B. Uncertain. C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful.
10. What does the underlined word “distinctive” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Common B. Unreasonable C. Unique. D. Frequent.
11. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The ways to play sports.
B. The reasons for playing sports.
C. The problems of kids’ playing sports.
D. The benefits of kids’ playing sports.
【答案】8 B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了体育运动对孩子的好处。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。第二段第一句“To begin with, sports teach children life skills.(首先，体育运动教会孩子们生活技能。)”讲到体育运动让孩子们学到一些孩子生活技能， 后面一句通过举一位正式运动员的例子来说明这个观点，所以这里是为了举例。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中加利福尼亚大学研究人员的话“96 percent of the participants(参与者) said they enjoy their sports.(96%的参与者说他们都喜欢体育运动。)”可知，研究人员发现大多数的参与者对体育运动持支持的态度。故选A。
【10题详解】
词义推测题。根据第一段最后一句中offer special opportunities的提示可知，这里distinctive 与前面的special相呼应，所以distinctive意为“独特的，特别的”，与C项“独特的”意思最接近。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段最后一句“Competitive sports are good for young children because they teach children life skills, provide health benefits, and offer special opportunities.(竞技体育对幼儿有好处，因为它们教会了孩子生活技能，有益于健康，并提供了特殊的机会。)”引出主题，即体育运动对孩子有许多好处，接着第二、三、四段具体介绍了体育运动的好处，并在最后一段“In conclusion, competitive sports are good for children because they can provide wholesome benefits, create new experiences, and build skills that will last a lifetime.(总之，竞技体育对孩子们有好处，因为它们可以提供有益健康的好处，创造新的体验，并培养终身的技能。)”对体育运动的好处进行总结，由此可推测出，本文主要介绍了体育运动对孩子的好处。故选D。

Marine life (海洋生物) in Florida Keys is negatively influenced by two forces: human activity and climate change. The former involves fishing, tourism and diving while the latter causes a large increase in intense hurricanes. Fortunately, when the researchers of Florida Museum of Natural History started looking for sea urchins (海胆) on the ocean floor off the coast of Florida Keys in the summer of 2020, they uncovered their population had relatively been stable since the 1960s.
The researchers visited 27 sites along a 20-mile stretch of coast near Florida Keys looking for tracks that reflected the presence of burrowing echinoids (穴居海胆类动物). “The findings that burrowing echinoids have been highly resilient (有适应力的) against climate change and environmental pollution over the last 60 years was a huge discovery for us.” said study co-author Tobias Grun.
Grun said, “However, we know little about their current distribution, population size, and health. The reason is not the lack of interest by the scientific community but lies in that fieldwork is very expensive.”
As the climate crisis progresses, it’s important to understand why some marine creatures are more resilient in bearing the impacts of a worsening environment than others. Grun said, “Evolution may be at play. Some marine animals are very opportunistic. They can tolerate a wide range of abiotic factors like pH, temperature, and salinity, to name a few.”
Grun added, “At this point, our data show that burrowing echinoids are more resilient than many other marine species and are doing comparatively well. That does not mean that we can push our luck and keep going the way we are right now. Our study provides some hope that these creatures are resilient, but much more work is needed to translate our findings into a larger scale. The reasons for their resilience are also widely unknown.”
12. Which has an effect on the marine life in Florida Keys
A. Wildfire. B. Pollution. C. Fishing. D. Flood.
13. What did Grun think of the findings
A. Indifferent. B. Important. C. Subjective. D. Outdated
14. What was a challenge for the research according to Grun
A. The goal. B. The staff C. The cost D. The usage
15. What does Grun tell us in the last paragraph
A. It’s necessary to do further research.
B. It’s right to keep going the present way.
C. The reasons for sea urchins’ resilience are well known.
D. Fish are more resilient than other marine species.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。研究人员发现，Florida Keys的海胆数量相对稳定，这对研究海洋生态系统有重要意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Marine life (海洋生物) in Florida Keys is negatively influenced by two forces: human activity and climate change. The former involves fishing, tourism and diving while the latter causes a large increase in intense hurricanes.(Florida Keys的海洋生物受到两个力量的负面影响：人类活动和气候变化。前者涉及渔业、旅游和潜水，而后者导致强烈飓风的数量大幅增加)”可知，捕鱼业对Florida Keys的海洋生物有负面作用。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The researchers visited 27 sites along a 20-mile stretch of coast near Florida Keys looking for tracks that reflected the presence of burrowing echinoids (穴居海胆类动物). “The findings that burrowing echinoids have been highly resilient (有适应力的) against climate change and environmental pollution over the last 60 years was a huge discovery for us.” said study co-author Tobias Grun.(研究人员在Florida Keys附近的沿海20英里范围内的27个地点进行了访问，寻找反映穴居海胆类动物存在的痕迹。研究合著者托比亚斯·格伦表示：“我们发现，在过去60年里，穴居海胆对气候变化和环境污染的适应能力很强，这对我们来说是一个巨大的发现。”)”可知，格伦认为这些发现很重要。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Grun said, “However, we know little about their current distribution, population size, and health. The reason is not the lack of interest by the scientific community but lies in that fieldwork is very expensive.”(格伦说：“然而，我们对它们当前的分布、种群规模和健康状况知之甚少。原因并不是科学界缺乏兴趣，而是实地调查非常昂贵。”)”可知，格伦对穴居海胆类动物的分布、种群规模和健康状况知之甚少，是因为实地调查非常昂贵，推知费用是这项研究面临的挑战。故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Grun added, “At this point, our data show that burrowing echinoids are more resilient than many other marine species and are doing comparatively well. That does not mean that we can push our luck and keep going the way we are right now. Our study provides some hope that these creatures are resilient, but much more work is needed to translate our findings into a larger scale. The reasons for their resilience are also widely unknown.”(格伦补充说：“目前，我们的数据显示，穴居海胆比许多其他海洋物种更具适应能力，并且状况相对较好。但这并不意味着我们可以一直保持现状而不受后果。我们的研究为这些生物的有适应力提供了一些希望，但还需要进行更多工作将我们的发现扩大到更大的范围。它们适应力的原因也很大程度上不为人所知。”)”可知，格伦觉得还需要进行更多工作将他们的发现扩大到更大的范围，也就是做进一步的研究。故选A项。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。续写的词数150左右
Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day, Robert and Henry were going home from school. On turning a cornner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”
“No” said Henry. “Let us go home quietly and not meddle with (管闲事) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together and I don’t want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward (懦夫), and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down on Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behaviour, because he knew that they misunderstood him, and that they ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home together with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled and cried for help, but he failed. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did nothing to help him.
Paragraph 1
It seemed as if Robert would be dying.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
Thus, Robert’s life was saved.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Part 1:
It seemed as if Robert would be dying. Just at that moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams, Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking the last time. By great effort, and with much danger to himself, he brought Robert to the shore.
Part 2:
Thus, Robert’s life was saved. Robert and his new friends were ashamed of having called Henry a coward. They realized that Henry had true courage. They said sorry to Henry for their rude behaviour and asked for forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage was — never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物态度变化为线索，讲述了Robert和Henry是两个同班的朋友。他们总是一起玩，一起回家。一次他们回家路上看到有人打架，Robert想去看看，但Henry拒绝了，Robert就认定Henry是懦夫告诉所有的男孩他是个懦夫。Henry并不生气，Robert和其他人一起，不和Henry玩，有一次Robert落水，其他男孩都走了不去救他，恰巧Henry路过，救了他，Robert才明白自己误会了他，才知道什么样的才叫勇敢。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Robert似乎快死了。”可知，故事接下来Henry将出现去救他，这样可以解除别人对自己的误会。
②由第二段首句内容“这样，Robert的命就得救了。”可知，误会解开，让Robert明白什么才叫勇敢。
2.续写线索：Robert落水—Henry救他—Robert活过来—误会解开—感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①碰巧：by chance/happen to
②道歉：say sorry to sb./apologize to sb./make an apology to sb.
情绪类
①感到羞愧：be/feel ashamed of
②害怕：be afraid/scared of
【点睛】[高分句型1]It seemed as if Robert would be dying.(运用了名词性从句和虚拟语气)
