It felt as if we had been climbing for hours. I stopped to catch my breath as a wave of dizziness swept over me in the thin mountain air. I was on an amazing trip with my family to experience the festival of Qoyllur Riti, which takes place at 4,300 meters high in the southern Andes of Peru.
As I looked back down the trail we had climbed, and up towards where we had to go, the colorful sight struck me a lot. Entire families wearing local costumes were travelling to this unique festival from all over Peru. Among them were old men, mothers with small babies and children all following the same route. Many of them had horses and donkeys carry their food, blankets, cooking pots and tents. Others had made their way on foot through the mountains for days to attend this remarkable event.
We continued climbing upward for another hour and a half before reaching the Sinakara Valley. Right across this flat piece of ground people were putting up shelters and tents to protect themselves from the freezing mist and rain. It was clear, however, from the sound of the drums and singing rising from the campsite that the weather was not going to weaken the festival spirit. The air of excitement, even from our place more than a mile away, was palpable.
After dinner, we went to bed fully clothed inside our sleeping bags. We were up early the next morning, the main day of the festival, despite having slept badly on the frozen ground. The ukukus, men wearing black masks and costumes, had left the campsite in the early hours to climb the nearest mountain by the light of the full moon.
From time to time during the procession, they stopped to dance on the glaciers, believing this would bring luck to their villages for the year to come. In the dawn light, we watched them winding their way back down like a large black snake. As they descended, they were joined by groups of dancers in bright traditional costumes. They performed wherever there was space. Although there did not seem to be anyone organizing them or any timetable, the whole festival had become a huge harmonious celebration.
4. What do we know about family’s climb up and down the trail
A. They were too tired to enjoy the sight.
B. They regretted extremely taking the trip.
C. They were fascinated by the scenes there.
D. They were greeted warmly by local people.
5. The underlined word in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. suitable B. endurable C. noticeable D. understandable
6. What can be inferred from the festival participants
A. They were all dressed in plain clothes.
B. They were determined to reach the festival.
C. They only continued their journey during daylight hours.
D. They performed dances to demonstrate their traditional costumes.
7. Where is this text most likely from
A. A health report. B. A sports newspaper.
C A fashion forum. D. A culture magazine.

“Renewable energy development is a critically important component of the transition away from fossil fuels, making our air cleaner. However, bird death has become an unintended consequence of renewable energy development,” said Hannah Vander Zanden, an assistant professor of biology at the University of Florida. Birds can be killed when they hit wind turbines (涡轮机), fly into solar panels they mistake for bodies of water or get burned by the intense heat from concentrating solar power plants. While the death rate of birds due to these energy facilities is far less than deaths due to domestic cats and crashes with buildings, efforts to deal with this new problem are important, scientists say.
Vander Zanden and her colleagues performed geospatial (地理空间的) analyses of stable hydrogen isotope (氢同位素) data obtained from feathers of 871 individual birds found dead at these renewable energy facilities in California, which represented 24 species. Results from the study show that the birds killed at the facilities were from a broad area across the continent. Their geographical origins varied among species and included a mix of local and nonlocal birds. Researchers found most birds killed at solar facilities were nonlocal and peaked during the migratory periods of April and September through October. The percentage of migratory birds found at wind facilities nearly matched that of local birds, at 51%.
“The data can help inform us about the best strategies to use to minimize the deaths,”Vander Zanden said. “For example, facilities management could work with conservationists to improve the local habitat to help protect local birds or improve other parts of the species’ range where the migratory birds originate.” The results also illustrate the power of stable isotope data to assess future population growth or decline patterns for birds due to a variety of reasons.
“Studying the remains of animals like what we did is a noninvasive approach to get information that is otherwise hard to track and apply to conservation,” Vander Zanden said. “It’s a great way to understand the mysteries about animals.”
8. What is the new threat to birds according to Vander Zanden
A. The high-rise buildings. B. The loss of natural habitats.
C. The devastating climate change. D. The rise of renewable energy facilities.
9. What did Vander Zanden and her colleagues discover in their study
A. Solar facilities were primarily responsible for bird death.
B. Non-migratory birds faced a greater death risk at wind facilities.
C. Migratory birds were more affected by solar facilities than local ones.
D. The bird death rate was closely associated with migration patterns.
10. What can we infer from Vander Zanden’s words
A. Animals hold many mysteries to humans.
B. The research possesses scientific significance.
C. Keeping track of and analyzing birds is challenging.
D. The remains of dead birds should be well conserved.
11 What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Renewable energy is a two-edged sword.
B. Solar energy is a major cause of birds’ death.
C. Studying birds promotes energy development.
D. Birds are threatened by renewable energy facilities.
D
New research suggests tea might help those who drink it live longer than those who do not. Past studies in China and Japan, where green tea is popular, have suggested several health benefits. Now, scientists say black tea may show similar benefits.
Scientists from the United States National Cancer Institute carried out the study. They examined years of data gathered about the tea drinking behavior of almost 500,000 adults in Britain for as many as 14 years. Black tea is the most common kind of tea in Britain.
The study found that high tea intake — two or more cups a day — was linked to a moderate benefit: a 9 to 13 percent lower risk of death from any cause than non-tea drinkers.
The research was published in Annals of Internal Medicine. The scientists say the lowered risk of death held true for study subjects with heart disease. However, researchers said there was no clear finding in connection with deaths from cancer. Researchers were not sure why. “It is possible that there were too few confirmed cancer deaths to measure,” said Maki Inoue-Choi, who led the study.
Tea contains various elements, including polyphenols, which are thought to be responsible for the health benefits that have traditionally been linked to tea, especially green tea. Green tea is reported to improve mental ability, ease digestive problems and head pain, and help people with weight loss. Green tea has also been studied for possible protective effects against heart disease and cancer.
The study of British tea drinkers was based on observing people’s behaviors and health.
This kind of methodology cannot prove cause and effect.
“Observational studies like this always raise the question: Is there something else about tea drinkers that makes them healthier ” said Marion Nestle. She is a professor of food studies at New York University.
“The study does not offer enough evidence to advise people to change their tea behaviors,” said Inoue-Choi.
12. How is the result of the study presented
A. By analyzing cause and effect. B. By giving definitions.
C. By listing numbers. D. By presenting examples.
13. What can be learned from the fourth paragraph
A. Fewer and fewer people are dying of cancer.
B. Drinking tea has no effect on cancer patients.
C. We can’t confirm the leading cause of cancer deaths.
D. Drinking tea can lessen the risk of death from heart disease.
14. What can we learn about the observational studies
A. This method has its limitations. B. This is an easy and effective method.
C. They don’t need to be proved. D. Behaviors and health are closely connected.
15. What is Inoue-Choi’s attitude toward the habit of drinking tea
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Indifferent.

Amy’s youngest child, 2-year-old Jenna, wouldn’t go to sleep until Amy read her a story while rocking her. Rocking and reading became their favorite nighttime routine.
Jenna awoke one night screaming in pain. Hospital tests later revealed that she had cancer, but luckily she had a successful operation.
During Jenna’s first week in the hospital, Amy stayed with her day and night. The nurses put a rocking chair in her room so they could continue their nighttime routine. After Jenna was asleep, Amy got some rest in the hard armchair by Jenna’s bed. Jenna was doing well, and Amy began sparing time to help her husband Joe take care of their little boys. She would go home in the evening, have dinner with the boys, and then return to the hospital until Jenna was asleep. Then Amy would come home for the remainder of the night.
It was pouring rain one evening as Amy hurried home to make dinner. By the time the meal was done, the roads were dangerous. Joe stood nearby as she looked out of the kitchen window. He firmly stopped Amy from going out in such weather.
“Joe,” Amy cried, “I have to read Jenna a story and rock her. She won’t be able to sleep if I don’t.” “Honey,” he said, “be reasonable. What if you have a bad car accident The roads will be better tomorrow. Then, you can go.”
Amy finally nodded and called Sally, a middle-aged nurse who worked a twelve-hour shift from 8 am to 8 pm. In tears she told Sally that it was the first time since Jenna was born that she hadn’t rocked her at bedtime.
Sally comforted Amy in a calm voice. She promised that she would go in to see Jenna before she left and tell her that when she woke up her mommy would be with her. “Thank you, Sally,” Amy said.
When it was time to go to bed, Jenna couldn’t find her mom and got panic.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

Just when her tears welled up, Sally came in.

It felt as if we had been climbing for hours. I stopped to catch my breath as a wave of dizziness swept over me in the thin mountain air. I was on an amazing trip with my family to experience the festival of Qoyllur Riti, which takes place at 4,300 meters high in the southern Andes of Peru.
As I looked back down the trail we had climbed, and up towards where we had to go, the colorful sight struck me a lot. Entire families wearing local costumes were travelling to this unique festival from all over Peru. Among them were old men, mothers with small babies and children all following the same route. Many of them had horses and donkeys carry their food, blankets, cooking pots and tents. Others had made their way on foot through the mountains for days to attend this remarkable event.
We continued climbing upward for another hour and a half before reaching the Sinakara Valley. Right across this flat piece of ground people were putting up shelters and tents to protect themselves from the freezing mist and rain. It was clear, however, from the sound of the drums and singing rising from the campsite that the weather was not going to weaken the festival spirit. The air of excitement, even from our place more than a mile away, was palpable.
After dinner, we went to bed fully clothed inside our sleeping bags. We were up early the next morning, the main day of the festival, despite having slept badly on the frozen ground. The ukukus, men wearing black masks and costumes, had left the campsite in the early hours to climb the nearest mountain by the light of the full moon.
From time to time during the procession, they stopped to dance on the glaciers, believing this would bring luck to their villages for the year to come. In the dawn light, we watched them winding their way back down like a large black snake. As they descended, they were joined by groups of dancers in bright traditional costumes. They performed wherever there was space. Although there did not seem to be anyone organizing them or any timetable, the whole festival had become a huge harmonious celebration.

“Renewable energy development is a critically important component of the transition away from fossil fuels, making our air cleaner. However, bird death has become an unintended consequence of renewable energy development,” said Hannah Vander Zanden, an assistant professor of biology at the University of Florida. Birds can be killed when they hit wind turbines (涡轮机), fly into solar panels they mistake for bodies of water or get burned by the intense heat from concentrating solar power plants. While the death rate of birds due to these energy facilities is far less than deaths due to domestic cats and crashes with buildings, efforts to deal with this new problem are important, scientists say.
Vander Zanden and her colleagues performed geospatial (地理空间的) analyses of stable hydrogen isotope (氢同位素) data obtained from feathers of 871 individual birds found dead at these renewable energy facilities in California, which represented 24 species. Results from the study show that the birds killed at the facilities were from a broad area across the continent. Their geographical origins varied among species and included a mix of local and nonlocal birds. Researchers found most birds killed at solar facilities were nonlocal and peaked during the migratory periods of April and September through October. The percentage of migratory birds found at wind facilities nearly matched that of local birds, at 51%.
“The data can help inform us about the best strategies to use to minimize the deaths,”Vander Zanden said. “For example, facilities management could work with conservationists to improve the local habitat to help protect local birds or improve other parts of the species’ range where the migratory birds originate.” The results also illustrate the power of stable isotope data to assess future population growth or decline patterns for birds due to a variety of reasons.
“Studying the remains of animals like what we did is a noninvasive approach to get information that is otherwise hard to track and apply to conservation,” Vander Zanden said. “It’s a great way to understand the mysteries about animals.”
8. What is the new threat to birds according to Vander Zanden
A. The high-rise buildings. B. The loss of natural habitats.
C. The devastating climate change. D. The rise of renewable energy facilities.
9. What did Vander Zanden and her colleagues discover in their study
A. Solar facilities were primarily responsible for bird death.
B. Non-migratory birds faced a greater death risk at wind facilities.
C. Migratory birds were more affected by solar facilities than local ones.
D. The bird death rate was closely associated with migration patterns.
10. What can we infer from Vander Zanden’s words
A. Animals hold many mysteries to humans.
B. The research possesses scientific significance.
C. Keeping track of and analyzing birds is challenging.
D. The remains of dead birds should be well conserved.
11. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Renewable energy is a two-edged sword.
B. Solar energy is a major cause of birds’ death.
C. Studying birds promotes energy development.
D. Birds are threatened by renewable energy facilities.

New research suggests tea might help those who drink it live longer than those who do not. Past studies in China and Japan, where green tea is popular, have suggested several health benefits. Now, scientists say black tea may show similar benefits.
Scientists from the United States National Cancer Institute carried out the study. They examined years of data gathered about the tea drinking behavior of almost 500,000 adults in Britain for as many as 14 years. Black tea is the most common kind of tea in Britain.
The study found that high tea intake — two or more cups a day — was linked to a moderate benefit: a 9 to 13 percent lower risk of death from any cause than non-tea drinkers.
The research was published in Annals of Internal Medicine. The scientists say the lowered risk of death held true for study subjects with heart disease. However, researchers said there was no clear finding in connection with deaths from cancer. Researchers were not sure why. “It is possible that there were too few confirmed cancer deaths to measure,” said Maki Inoue-Choi, who led the study.
Tea contains various elements, including polyphenols, which are thought to be responsible for the health benefits that have traditionally been linked to tea, especially green tea. Green tea is reported to improve mental ability, ease digestive problems and head pain, and help people with weight loss. Green tea has also been studied for possible protective effects against heart disease and cancer.
The study of British tea drinkers was based on observing people’s behaviors and health.
This kind of methodology cannot prove cause and effect.
“Observational studies like this always raise the question: Is there something else about tea drinkers that makes them healthier ” said Marion Nestle. She is a professor of food studies at New York University.
“The study does not offer enough evidence to advise people to change their tea behaviors,” said Inoue-Choi.
12. How is the result of the study presented
A By analyzing cause and effect. B. By giving definitions.
C. By listing numbers. D. By presenting examples.
13. What can be learned from the fourth paragraph
A. Fewer and fewer people are dying of cancer.
B. Drinking tea has no effect on cancer patients.
C. We can’t confirm the leading cause of cancer deaths.
D. Drinking tea can lessen the risk of death from heart disease.
14. What can we learn about the observational studies
A. This method has its limitations. B. This is an easy and effective method.
C. They don’t need to be proved. D. Behaviors and health are closely connected.
15. What is Inoue-Choi’s attitude toward the habit of drinking tea
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Indifferent.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】

【45题详解】
考查时态。句意:在广西壮族自治区,人们在霜降这一天除了跳舞和唱民歌外,还会献上水果和甜点来庆祝霜降节,以纪念明朝抗击外国侵略的女英雄陈玉滢。空格处在who引导的定语从句中作谓语,根据后文in the Ming Dynasty可知定语从句时态为一般过去时。故填fought。

【答案】How to Express Love for Mom
With Mother’s Day approaching, my classmates are discussing how to express their love for their mothers. Many choose to express their gratitude on Mothers’ Day, while some think it more important to show love for their dear moms on a daily basis.
I stand firm that showing love for our mom should not simply be fixed on Mother’s Day; it should be an everyday affair. So I make it a point to express my gratitude regularly by helping with household chores and spending quality time with mom. I believe these simple acts surely weave the fabric of our strong, loving relationship throughout the year.
In conclusion, saying “I love you” on Mother’s Day is vital, but daily expressions make more sense to our relationship with mom.

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。
Amy’s youngest child 2-year-old Jenna, wouldn’t go to sleep until Amy read her a story while rocking her. Rocking and reading became their favorite nighttime routine.
Jenna awoke one night screaming in pain. Hospital tests later revealed that she had cancer, but luckily she had a successful operation.
During Jenna’s first week in the hospital, Amy stayed with her day and night. The nurses put a rocking chair in her room so they could continue their nighttime routine. After Jenna was asleep, Amy got some rest in the hard armchair by Jenna’s bed. Jenna was doing well, and Amy began sparing time to help her husband Joe take care of their little boys. She would go home in the evening, have dinner with the boys, and then return to the hospital until Jenna was asleep. Then Amy would come home for the remainder of the night.
It was pouring rain one evening as Amy hurried home to make dinner. By the time the meal was done, the roads were dangerous. Joe stood nearby as she looked out of the kitchen window. He firmly stopped Amy from going out in such weather.
“Joe,” Amy cried, “I have to read Jenna a story and rock her. She won’t be able to sleep if I don’t.” “Honey,” he said, “be reasonable. What if you have a bad car accident The roads will be better tomorrow. Then, you can go.”
Amy finally nodded and called Sally, a middle-aged nurse who worked a twelve-hour shift from 8 am to 8 pm. In tears she told Sally that it was the first time since Jenna was born that she hadn’t rocked her at bedtime.
Sally comforted Amy in a calm voice. She promised that she would go in to see Jenna before she left and tell her that when she woke up her mommy would be with her. “Thank you, Sally,” Amy said.
When it was time to go to bed, Jenna couldn’t find her mom and got panic.

【答案】范文
Just when her tears welled up, Sally came in. Knowing Jenna was waiting for Mom anxiously, she carried the girl in the arms and gently told her that her mum would come a bit late due to the heavy rain outside. However, on hearing that, Jenna burst out crying. Just at this moment the nighttime routine Amy mentioned came to Sally’s mind. She took out a book and read it to Jenna while rocking her. It really worked! Jenna fell asleep soon! But Sally didn’t leave her alone, for fear that she would wake up during the night.
The next morning Amy opened the door, finding Jenna was sleeping peacefully in Sally’s arms. Immediately, scalding tears streamed out and her hanging heart eventually settled down. The noise of the door awoke the nurse, who carefully got out of the bed. Amy came up and took her hand tightly, saying, “Thank you. You didn’t know how worried I was last night.” Sally smiled and said, “It’s nothing. But I’ve learned to comfort babies from you — the nighttime routine.” With the words, a knowing smile appeared on the faces of two women.
