The Seychelles----that remote island chain off the coast of northem Africa is heaven for scuba divers(水肺潜水) .With more than 100 islands,most of which are uninhabited,and a relatively small amount of tourists impacting the oceans and beaches,the Seychelles has some truly best scuba diving.
Fisherman's Cove Reef
If you're a beginner diver who loves gentle drop-offs and sea turtles,make sure Fisherman's Cove Reef is on your scuba diving radar.The site is very popular as there's rarely a current,it's very shallow,and has a colorful reef with everything from eagle rays to small leaf fish,which can be very difficult to find against the seagrass and coral.
Ennerdale Wreck
If you love wreck diving,head right for the Ennerdale,a British oil tanker that accidentally sunk in 1970.Because of the medium-to-strong current and depth,it's for divers with advanced open water cert.They'll be able to swim around the wreck's propellers,penetrate the frame,and likely see reef sharks and the occasional bull shark.
Baie Ternay Marine Park
The shallow,protected area of ocean has healthy and varied coral,and a lively reef.Both snorkelers and beginner divers are likely to see sea turtles grazing on the seagrass,coaching reef fish,and small eels poking out of the sandy ocean floor.
Aldabra Atoll
It doesn't get much more remote than the Aldabra Atoll,a UNESCO site.The coral reef continues underwater,which makes all the island's dive sites stunning.Advanced divers can do drift dives in a channel with a chance of seeing sharks,while beginners can stay closer to the reefs, checking the various species of marine life in the Indian Ocean off their must-see list.The island is home to nearly 100,000 giant tortoises,as well as several other rare species.
21.Why is the Seychelles known as heaven for scuba divers
A.Its close distance to northern Africa.
B.The high chance to spot the fish in the region.
C.Its relatively small number of inhabited islands.
D.The effect of the oceans and beaches on tourism.
22.What makes Ennerdale Wreck appealing to divers
A.The chance to see a sunken ship under the ocean.
B.The numerous sharks and large marine creatures.
C.Its remote location away from the main islands.
D.Its attraction to both snorkelers and divers.
英语试题 (第3页，共10页)
23.Which place is suitable for both beginners and advanced divers

It's difficult to hope sometimes but there are still a few instances telling us that something better awaits us whether we choose to hold on to it or not.Annie,a 19-year-oldblack Labrador, was given around a month to live when she was placed for adoption in June 2022.Annie's former owner had given up hope and sent her to a shelter house in Texas because she wouldn't eat or
drink.
Once Siler,31,discovered Annie's photo,she knew she had to help.Instead of a month or two,Annie was adopted by Siler and her roommate,Lisa,for an entire year.Siler knew what it took to care for an elderly dog because she had recently lost her own dog,whom she had since college.Siler shared,“I felt mentally and emotionally prepared to take on a dog that wasn't going to have long.”Siler described Annie as an easygoing dog.Her favorite pastimes included opening mail and sitting outside,watching people and cars pass by,earning her the nickname“nosy
neighbour.”
“People kept telling us she was having so much fun and enjoying life and that kept her going, and I hope that was the case.Annie lived almost exactly a year after being adopted by Siler and Lisa.Annie had the life we pray every senior dog we rescue gets to experience.Annie didn't just live out this past year,she flowered.Annie had an ill stomach.Surgical operation was her only option and that was never something we would put Annie through.Collectively,we made the
hardest decision for us but kindest for Annie.”Siler kept in her diary.
“I can't help but think that Annie would be so proud.She was one special dog whose story will live on through those who adopt seniors.She left a giant,giant hole in my heart…but times, where everyone who loved her can come together in her honor,will help start mending my broken
heart.”Siler wrote in her post.
24.Why was Annie placed for adoption in June 2022
A.Because she was too old for her owner to care for.
B.Because her owner had given up hope for her refusal to eat or drink.
C.Because Annie's owner was moving and couldn't take her along.
D.Because she had a medical condition that required extensive care.
25.What motivated Siler to adopt Annie
A.Siler wanted a guard dog for her house.
B.Siler's roommate insisted on adopting a dog.
C.Siler was an advocate for senior dog adoption.
D.Siler sought company after losing her previous dog
26.What did people say about Annie's life after adoption
A.She experienced enormous joy.
B.She was miserable and lonely.
C.She was constantly sick and in pain.
D.She didn't interact with people or other dogs.
27.What did Siler hope for in terms of Annie's story
A.Annie's story would be forgotten easily.
B.Annie's story would encourage seniors to hunt.
C.Annie's story would inspire senior dogs adoption.
D.Annie's story would only be remembered for its sadness.

On September 7,1991,the costliest hailstorm ( 花 暴 )in Canadian history hit Calgary's southem suburbs.As a result,since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project.Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones.But farmers in east-central Alberta —downwind of the hail project flights —worry that precious moisture(水分)is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand,who farms in that area,has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years“Basically,the provincial govermment is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,”Mr.Stienwan d says,“but they're increasing drought
risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss,a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc.of Fargo,North Dakota.“We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air,so we cannot be cousing drought.”Dr.Krauss says.“In fact,we may be
helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground."
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell,a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma.“In 1999,I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,”Dr.Doswell says.“Does cloud seeding create killer
storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows,of course,but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt,Mr.Stienwand suggests,"it would be wise to stop cloud seeding." In practice,doubt has had the opposite effect.Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their
impacts,no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies.Hence,
private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
28.What does the project aim to do
A.Conserve moisture in the soil. B.Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C.Forecast disastrous hailstorms. D.Investigate chemical use in farming.
29.Who are opposed to the project
A.Farmers in east-central Alberta. B.Managers of insurance companies.
C.Provincial government officials. D.Residents of Calgary and Edmonton
英语试题 (第5页，共10页)
30.Why does Dr.Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999
A.To compare different kinds of seeding methods.
B.To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C.To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
D.To show the link between storms and moisture.
31.What can we infer ffom the last paragraph
A.Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right.
B.Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C.The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared.
D.Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.
D
Want to know what is coming soon to a cinema near you Probably not a 1.5-hour-long movie,as in the old days.On October 20th comes Killers of the Flower Moon.At nearly three and a half hours,its length is nearly double that of the average film last year.Even movie fans struggle to concentrate for that long and some viewers even nod off.Afterwards there is a mad dash for the toilets.When does watching a film become such a slog
The Economist analyzed over 100,000 feature films released internationally since the 1930s, the start of Hollywood's golden age,using data from IMDb,a movie database.The average length of productions rose by around 24%,from one hour and 21 minutes in the 1930s to one hour and 47minutes in 2022.For the ten most-popular titles,the average length grew to around two and a half hours in 2022,nearly 50%higher than in the 1930s.
One driver of this trend is that studios want to squeeze the most out of their costly intellectual property(知识产权),but they.are competing with streaming platforms for eyeballs.The hope is that a spectacular,drawn-out "event"movie will draw audiences away from the small screen and into cinemas.This approach has often paid off:Avengers,Endgame,Marvel's three-hour superhero masterpieces,was the highest-grossing(票房最高的)film in 2019.Last year long movies series made up most of the highest-grossing films in America.
Another explanation for longer films has to do with directors'growing influence.Who would dare tell the likes of Mr.Nolan to cut out his masterpieces Moreover,streaming platforms,which do not have to worry as much about the length because viewers can pause whenever they like, may attract big names by promising them sufficient fund and creative flix funded and released three-hour The Irishman in 2019,a film that would have benefited from a decisive editor,Irish or otherwise.
32.The underlined part"a slog"in paragraph 1 refers to a(n)
A.pleasure B.effort C.conflict D.feast
33.What can be inferred from paragraph 2
A.The average length affects the popularity of films.
B.Great advances have been made in film industry.
C.Hollywood starts a golden age of feature films.
D.The average duration of movies has stretched.
34.What sets the trend of longer movies
A.Competition for the target audience. B.Thirst for more classic productions.
C.Influence of streaming platforms. D.Preference for decisive editors.
35.What is probably the best title for the passage
A.Movie Enthusiasts B.Movie Marathons
C.Movie Production D.Movie Influence

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。
Eva spent the first week of high school trying to keep her head above water.One of the major headaches for her was finding her way in the huge school building.It was a six-story building.On each floor,hallways stretched in four directions,leading to classrooms,laboratories,and teachers’ offices.Somewhere in the building,there was also a library,a cafeteria,and a gym.
Having a poor sense of direction,Eva found it impossible to get around in such a huge building.All the different hallways and rooms were too much to think about,let alone commit to memory.She decided that she would memorize where her classes were and then pretend that the rest of the place didn't exist.
In her first PE class,Eva was shocked when Coach Pitt announced that everyone had to run one mile around the track outside.She searched the faces of her classmates for signs of panic. There was nothing she feared more than having to run a whole mile.To Eva,“a mile”was used to describe long distances.It was ten miles from her home to her grandfather's,and that always seemed like a long way,even in a car!
When Coach Pitt blew his whistle(哨子),Eva figured she would be left in the dust.However, while some of her classmates edged ahead,others actually fell behind.”It's just the beginning,
“she thought.”I'll come in last for sure.“
Soon Eva began to breathe hard,with her heart pounding and legs shaking.Feeling desperate, Eva started using a mind trick on herself.She stopped thinking about the word"mile.“Instead,she focused on reaching the shadow cast on the track by an oak tree up ahead.Then she concentrated on jogging to the spot where the track curved(拐弯) .After that,she tried to see if she could
complete her first lap.One lap turned into two,then three,then four.
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。
Paragraph 1:When Coach Pitt said “Nice work!”to her at the finish line,Eva was surprised.
Paragraph 2:Eva decided to use the same trick to deal with the school building.
