An earthquake hit Turkey and Syria last month. Over 40,000 people lost their lives in the natural disaster, and that number is expected to climb. But people are staying strong and holding out hope as rescuers continue to search for and rescue survivors.
33-year-old Necla Camuz was trapped inside her home with her 10-day-old son, Yagiz, in her arms. She waited for 90 hours before being rescued. While Camuz was worried that they would never be found, she looked to her baby as a source of strength. “I think if my son hadn’t been strong enough to deal with this, I wouldn’t have been, either,” she shared. This story had an even happier ending. Camuz was told that her husband and 3-year-old son had also survived. They would get together after this terrible experience.
But babies and young people aren’t the only survivors. 77-year-old Fatma Gungor was trapped for 212 hours before being freed. “I am so excited. I don’t know what to say. We almost got to the point of giving up, but our struggle has ended well,” one rescuer said. Finding Gungor provides new motivation (动力) for rescuers, who have been working around the clock. They are encouraged to keep up their search.
According to Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, it’s uncommon to find survivors after they have been trapped for more than 100 hours, but low temperatures might be the factor. “On the one hand, the cold weather makes the rescue very difficult, for it is below freezing right now. On the other hand, it may reduce the demand for water. Perhaps that is the case this time,” he said.
As always, these stories give hope that there are many people still waiting to be rescued. But once people are pulled from the stones, there is a hard road ahead as people have lost their homes, and many have also lost their families. If you are looking for a way to help, consider donating to Global Giving’s earthquake fund.
4. How did Camuz live through the earthquake in her opinion
A. By using professional skills. B. By seeing her newborn baby’s survival.
C. By having trust in her family. D. By finding some water and food.
5. What do the rescuers realize after saving Gungor
A. More people can be rescued.
B. Old people have a stronger will.
C. Rescuers have to be calm enough.
D. Rescue work will become more difficult.
6. What do Dr. Sanjay Gupia’s words suggest about the cold weather
A. It is unusual for local people.
B. It can be both harmful and favorable.
C. It makes rescuers easier to save trapped people.
D. It causes trapped people to reduce demand for food.
7. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph
A. To call on people to offer support to those suffering.
B. To give some tips on surviving an earthquake.
C. To point out the problems facing rescuers.
D. To stress the importance of timely rescue.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻稿。文章主要讲述上个月土耳其和叙利亚发生地震以及现在搜救情况。

A new device could save lives by sounding an alarm when children or pets are left alone in vehicles (车辆).
Developed by researchers at the University of Waterloo, the device uses radar technology and artificial intelligence(AI)to detect unattended children or animals with 100% accuracy.
Small enough to fit in the palm of a hand, the device is designed to be attached to a vehicle’s rear-view mirror (后视镜). It sends out radar signals that are reflected back by people, animals and objects in the vehicle. Built-in Al then analyzes the reflected signals.
“It solves a serious problem,” said George Shaker, an engineering professor at Waterloo. “The device is so affordable that it could become standard equipment in all vehicles.”
Analysis by the device determines the number of people and their location in a vehicle. That information could be used to set rates (费用) for ride-sharing services, or to qualify vehicles for car-pool lanes (共乘车道).
In primary purpose, however, is to detect when a child or a pet has been left behind by accident, a situation that can result in serous harm or death in extremely hot or cold weather. In such cases, the system would prevent vehicle doors from locking and sound an alarm to remind the driver, passengers and other people in the area that there is a problem.
“Unlike cameras, this device preserves privacy and it doesn’t have any blind spots because radar can get through seats to determine if there is a child in a rear-facing car seat,” said Shaker.
Small enough to fit in the palm of a hand, the device can recognize differences between living beings and inanimate (无生命的) objects by detecting breathing movements.
Researchers are now exploring the use to watch the signs of drivers for distraction, illnesses or other issues.
8. Why has the new device been developed
A. Mainly to qualify vehicles for car-pool lanes.
B. Mainly to set rates for ride-sharing services.
C. Mainly to see if there is any dangerous object inside a vehicle.
D. Mainly to help prevent children or pets from being left behind in vehicles.
9 How will the device work to warn a driver
A. By sending signals to a driver’s phone. B. By locking a vehicle door.
C. By sounding an alarm. D. By giving out a red light.
10. Which of the following is NOT one of the advantages of this device
A. It can protect privacy. B. It can help people drive much faster.
C. Its price is reasonable. D. Its size is rather small.
11. What is the difference between cameras and the new device according to Shaker’s opinion
A. The radar of the device can get through seats.
B. The radar of the device can take clearer photos.
C. The device can send a weak voice in a vehicle to a driver.
D. The device can recognize living beings rather than inanimate objects.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A

(在这种情况下，该系统会防止车门锁死，并发出警报，提醒司机、乘客和该地区的其他人有问题。)”可知，该设备通过发出警报来警告驱动器。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段““The device is so affordable that it could become standard equipment in all vehicles.”(这种设备价格低廉，可以成为所有车辆的标准设备)”可知，它的价格很合理，故C项正确；根据文章倒数第三段““Unlike cameras, this device preserves privacy (与照相机不同，这款设备保护隐私)”可知，它可以保护隐私，故A项正确；根据文章第三段“Small enough to fit in the palm of a hand, the device is designed to be attached to a vehicle’s rear-view mirror(后视镜).(这个装置小到可以放在手掌里，可以安装在汽车的后视镜上)”可知，它的体积相当小，故D项正确。B项文章并未提及。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段““Unlike cameras, this device preserves privacy and it doesn’t have any blind spots because radar can get through seats to determine if there is a child in a rear-facing car seat,” said Shaker.(Shaker说：与摄像头不同的是，这种设备保护了隐私，而且没有任何盲点，因为雷达可以穿透座椅，确定是否有孩子坐在车后的座椅上)”可知，这种设备的雷达可以穿透座椅。故选A。

The day starts early for Tang Shengli, a bird protection volunteer in Lanshan county, Yongzhou, Hunan province. At about 5 am, the 60-year-old is in uniform and ready to start his day’s work protecting and recording migratory (迁徙的) birds. Located on the northern side of the Nanling Mountains, Lanshan is an important passageway for migratory birds. From September to December every year, more than 240 species of migratory birds fly from Siberia to Australia via Hunan. In the past 10 years, Tang has recorded more than 120 species of such birds with his camera. “The flight calls of the migratory birds at night attract me so much that I cannot sleep. All I want to do is get up and record them,” Tang says.
When Tang joined the Hunan provincial bird protection organization in 2013, he knew he faced a tough task. Numerous migratory birds were lost each year as a result of killing and illegal trade. At that time, poachers (偷猎者) lit up the hillside to attract the birds there and hunt them. Some nights hundreds of birds would be killed or caught, remembers Liao Changgui, an official with the local forestry bureau.
By day, Tang distributes brochures to villagers in Lanshan to raise public awareness of bird protection, while at night, he goes deep into the wilderness to tackle illegal hunting. “Many villagers didn’t think bird hunting was illegal, and some made a living from it. Our work has affected their business,” Tang explains, adding his wife was threatened at their home in order to stop him doing his work.
To stop poaching, in October 2012, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration issued a notice to prevent the illegal hunting of migratory birds. In December that year, the Hunan provincial government promised to fight against poaching and establish a bird monitoring and protection system. So far, 43 migratory bird protection stations have been built across the province, covering almost all key points on the passageway. In 2020, a “lights out” program started in Lanshan county to prevent the birds from being distracted (使分心).
On Nov 1, the Hunan provincial government issued a ban on hunting migratory birds and other wildlife listed under national and provincial protection. Nationwide, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration is carrying out a two-month special action plan to strengthen patrols and remove illegal hunting equipment in national parks, nature reserves and bird migration routes across the country.
12. Why did poachers light up the hillside according to paragraph 2
A. To find their way around the hill.
B. To search for birds’ nests and catch them.
C. To draw the birds’ attention to catch them.
D. To lead the birds to fly safely and in the correct direction.
13. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “tackle” in paragraph 3
A. Give up. B. Put off. C. Call for. D. Deal with.
14. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph
A. Ways to punish bird poachers.
B. Routes migratory birds fly along.
C. Measures to protect migratory birds.
D. Reasons why poachers try to capture birds.
15. What is a suitable title for the news report
A. Ensuring birds have a safe passage
B. Important passageway for migratory birds
C. Flight calls of migratory birds at night attract Tang
D. Tang records more than 120 species of migratory birds
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】

【13题详解】
此句猜测题。根据划线处上句“By day, Tang distributes brochures to villagers in Lanshan to raise public awareness of bird protection, while at night, he goes deep into the wilderness to (白天，唐向岚山村民分发小册子，以提高公众保护鸟类的意识，而晚上，他深入荒野)”以及“illegal hunting (非法狩猎)”可知，本段介绍唐为了保护鸟所做出的努力；白天他给村民分发有关保护鸟类的小册子， 晚上他深入荒野是为了打击非法狩猎。由此猜测，划线处和D项：Deal with(处理；应对)含义相近。故选D。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“To stop poaching, in October 2012, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration issued a notice to prevent the illegal hunting of migratory birds.

Even though it jumped out of the water several times during my struggle with this very first fish, I was still able to hold on ___40___ (patient).
At this time, my friend began running around the dock like a child madly in search of something. I never realized what that reaction was about until he shouted at me, looking very ___41___ (excite), “Hey, man, congratulations to you. This is the biggest fish that ___42___(catch) by us since half a year ago.”

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。
My family had a hard time when I was in Grade 11. My parents lost their jobs during the Depression. Dad was too ill to work outside, while Mum had a tough time raising us kids on her own in our small community. We relied on our community assistance to keep us clothed, and although our clothes were secondhand, we thought they were beautiful.
Looking back, I realize what Mum went through for sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our shoes were worn out. Moving house constantly was typical for my family during the period. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained.
The new year was approaching, and we were entitled (享有)to a twenty-five dollar fund for social services. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent, making sure we all had a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for the new year.
Unknown to Mum, I had been removing snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of shoes. I knew exactly which shoes I wanted. They were made of genuine leather and they had a price of twenty-three dollars. Well, the big day came on the last day of that year. I was very excited, as I was hurrying up to catch the bus. It was only a half-a-mile walk, but on the way I noticed a house with lights and decorations. It was then that I realized in our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for goodies (好吃的东西). I knew then that we would have no delicious food for the new year, and I felt sad.
As I continued walking, I began to feel confused. I was sixteen years old, and I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of shoes while Mum was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents.
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。
I thought how I ought to use the money I had earned.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Soon I got to my house with the groceries (食品杂货).
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I thought how I ought to use the money I had earned. The bus drove off without me. Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store. I went into the store and bought a turkey, ham, oranges and other goodies. I spent every dollar of my hard-earned money. The owner of the grocery store said, “Girl, the groceries have packed up like a mountain, and you can’t carry them home by yourself.” So I asked two boys with carriers on their bicycles to run them the half-mile down to my house.
Soon I got to my house with the groceries ( 食品杂货 ). With great excitement and tears in my eyes, I knocked on the door. When Mum opened the door, she surprisingly found that some of the groceries fell inside onto the floor. Holding back the tears I whispered “Happy New Year! A big surprise!” “Can you tell me what happened ” Mum was so excited that she cried out. I had a lot of explanation as we unpacked all the food and put it away. That day I got enough hugs and kisses from Mum. Even though I failed to get a new pair of gloves, the smile on Mum’s face made it all worthwhile. It was an unforgettable New Year for us after all!

An earthquake hit Turkey and Syria last month. Over 40,000 people lost their lives in the natural disaster, and that number is expected to climb. But people are staying strong and holding out hope as rescuers continue to search for and rescue survivors.
33-year-old Necla Camuz was trapped inside her home with her 10-day-old son, Yagiz, in her arms. She waited for 90 hours before being rescued. While Camuz was worried that they would never be found, she looked to her baby as a source of strength. “I think if my son hadn’t been strong enough to deal with this, I wouldn’t have been, either,” she shared. This story had an even happier ending. Camuz was told that her husband and 3-year-old son had also survived. They would get together after this terrible experience.
But babies and young people aren’t the only survivors. 77-year-old Fatma Gungor was trapped for 212 hours before being freed. “I am so excited. I don’t know what to say. We almost got to the point of giving up, but our struggle has ended well,” one rescuer said. Finding Gungor provides new motivation (动力) for rescuers, who have been working around the clock. They are encouraged to keep up their search.
According to Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, it’s uncommon to find survivors after they have been trapped for more than 100 hours, but low temperatures might be the factor. “On the one hand, the cold weather makes the rescue very difficult, for it is below freezing right now. On the other hand, it may reduce the demand for water. Perhaps that is the case this time,” he said.
As always, these stories give hope that there are many people still waiting to be rescued. But once people are pulled from the stones, there is a hard road ahead as people have lost their homes, and many have also lost their families. If you are looking for a way to help, consider donating to Global Giving’s earthquake fund.

A new device could save lives by sounding an alarm when children or pets are left alone in vehicles (车辆).
Developed by researchers at the University of Waterloo, the device uses radar technology and artificial intelligence(AI)to detect unattended children or animals with 100% accuracy.
Small enough to fit in the palm of a hand, the device is designed to be attached to a vehicle’s rear-view mirror (后视镜). It sends out radar signals that are reflected back by people, animals and objects in the vehicle. Built-in Al then analyzes the reflected signals.
“It solves a serious problem,” said George Shaker, an engineering professor at Waterloo. “The device is so affordable that it could become standard equipment in all vehicles.”
Analysis by the device determines the number of people and their location in a vehicle. That information could be used to set rates (费用) for ride-sharing services, or to qualify vehicles for car-pool lanes (共乘车道).
In primary purpose, however, is to detect when a child or a pet has been left behind by accident, a situation that can result in serous harm or death in extremely hot or cold weather. In such cases, the system would prevent vehicle doors from locking and sound an alarm to remind the driver, passengers and other people in the area that there is a problem.
“Unlike cameras, this device preserves privacy and it doesn’t have any blind spots because radar can get through seats to determine if there is a child in a rear-facing car seat,” said Shaker.
Small enough to fit in the palm of a hand, the device can recognize differences between living beings and inanimate (无生命的) objects by detecting breathing movements.
Researchers are now exploring the use to watch the signs of drivers for distraction, illnesses or other issues.
8. Why has the new device been developed
A. Mainly to qualify vehicles for car-pool lanes.
B. Mainly to set rates for ride-sharing services.
C. Mainly to see if there is any dangerous object inside a vehicle.
D. Mainly to help prevent children or pets from being left behind in vehicles.
9. How will the device work to warn a driver
A. By sending signals to a driver’s phone. B. By locking a vehicle door.
C. By sounding an alarm. D. By giving out a red light.
10. Which of the following is NOT one of the advantages of this device
A. It can protect privacy. B. It can help people drive much faster.
C. Its price is reasonable. D. Its size is rather small.
11. What is the difference between cameras and the new device according to Shaker’s opinion
A. The radar of the device can get through seats.
B. The radar of the device can take clearer photos.
C. The device can send a weak voice in a vehicle to a driver.
D. The device can recognize living beings rather than inanimate objects.
D
The day starts early for Tang Shengli, a bird protection volunteer in Lanshan county, Yongzhou, Hunan province. At about 5 am, the 60-year-old is in uniform and ready to start his day’s work protecting and recording migratory (迁徙的) birds. Located on the northern side of the Nanling Mountains, Lanshan is an important passageway for migratory birds. From September to December every year, more than 240 species of migratory birds fly from Siberia to Australia via Hunan. In the past 10 years, Tang has recorded more than 120 species of such birds with his camera. “The flight calls of the migratory birds at night attract me so much that I cannot sleep. All I want to do is get up and record them,” Tang says.
When Tang joined the Hunan provincial bird protection organization in 2013, he knew he faced a tough task. Numerous migratory birds were lost each year as a result of killing and illegal trade. At that time, poachers (偷猎者) lit up the hillside to attract the birds there and hunt them. Some nights hundreds of birds would be killed or caught, remembers Liao Changgui, an official with the local forestry bureau.
By day, Tang distributes brochures to villagers in Lanshan to raise public awareness of bird protection, while at night, he goes deep into the wilderness to tackle illegal hunting. “Many villagers didn’t think bird hunting was illegal, and some made a living from it. Our work has affected their business,” Tang explains, adding his wife was threatened at their home in order to stop him doing his work.
To stop poaching, in October 2012, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration issued a notice to prevent the illegal hunting of migratory birds. In December that year, the Hunan provincial government promised to fight against poaching and establish a bird monitoring and protection system. So far, 43 migratory bird protection stations have been built across the province, covering almost all key points on the passageway. In 2020, a “lights out” program started in Lanshan county to prevent the birds from being distracted (使分心).
On Nov 1, the Hunan provincial government issued a ban on hunting migratory birds and other wildlife listed under national and provincial protection. Nationwide, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration is carrying out a two-month special action plan to strengthen patrols and remove illegal hunting equipment in national parks, nature reserves and bird migration routes across the country.
12. Why did poachers light up the hillside according to paragraph 2
A. To find their way around the hill.
B. To search for birds’ nests and catch them.
C. To draw the birds’ attention to catch them.
D. To lead the birds to fly safely and in the correct direction.
13. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “tackle” in paragraph 3
A. Give up. B. Put off. C. Call for. D. Deal with.
14. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph
A Ways to punish bird poachers.
B. Routes migratory birds fly along.
C. Measures to protect migratory birds.
D. Reasons why poachers try to capture birds.
15. What is a suitable title for the news report
A. Ensuring birds have a safe passage
B. Important passageway for migratory birds
C. Flight calls of migratory birds at night attract Tang
D. Tang records more than 120 species of migratory birds

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。
My family had a hard time when I was in Grade 11. My parents lost their jobs during the Depression. Dad was too ill to work outside, while Mum had a tough time raising us kids on her own in our small community. We relied on our community assistance to keep us clothed, and although our clothes were secondhand, we thought they were beautiful.
Looking back, I realize what Mum went through for sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our shoes were worn out. Moving house constantly was typical for my family during the period. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained.
The new year was approaching, and we were entitled (享有)to a twenty-five dollar fund for social services. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent, making sure we all had a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for the new year.
Unknown to Mum, I had been removing snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of shoes. I knew exactly which shoes I wanted. They were made of genuine leather and they had a price of twenty-three dollars. Well, the big day came on the last day of that year. I was very excited, as I was hurrying up to catch the bus. It was only a half-a-mile walk, but on the way I noticed a house with lights and decorations. It was then that I realized in our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for goodies (好吃的东西). I knew then that we would have no delicious food for the new year, and I felt sad.
As I continued walking, I began to feel confused. I was sixteen years old, and I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of shoes while Mum was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents.
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。
I thought how I ought to use the money I had earned.
