It’s the Auckland Airport, and 4 pairsof dotterels have been recorded in the green areas alongside the outer runways this year.Even though human activities are on the whole the largest driver of species decline around the Earth, whatcan be an obstacle to one species can be a shelter to another, and in the case of the Auckland Airport, wildlifemanager Lucy Hawley said the high fences keep out the bird’s invasive predators.“This is very attractive to nesting dotterels and our airfield’s become a real shelter for them,” Hawley toldRZN.com. “These tiny little birds take absolutely no notice of the giant planes moving all around them and haveno issues setting up home right beside the taxiways.”Over the last ten years, Hawley has estimated that she and her groundskeepers have seen 80 dotterels hatchon the taxiways of the country’s busiest airport. The parents typically arrive between November and December.Over time the airport has taken time to work with professional wildlife biologists who have banded some of thebirds in order to track their movements and nesting behavior.Concerning the dotterel, there may only be 2,500 of them left in the country following years of egg predationfrom invasive creatures like stoats. Fortunately, the ground-nesting bird poses no risk to aviation and can livealongside the planes in relative comfort.Hawley and her team use stakes(篱笆桩) to mark the nesting sites which can be practically invisible amongthe grass blades.“We love doing our part to help this important species to breed,” she said.24. Where do these New Zealand dotterels live A. In a bird shelter. B. In a busy airport.C. On a motorway. D. In an abandoned airport.25. What can be learned from Hawley’s words A. Dotterels have poor hearing.B. Beautiful airfield is a big attraction to dotterels.C. High fences are obstacles to dotterels’ natural enemies.第 4 页 共 10 页2024 年 6 月D. Dotterels are natural architects and have great nesting skill.26. What do Hawley’s team do to protect the species A. They ensure the safety of its nest.B. They help it build the nest and breed.C. They move its nest to a nearby reserve.D. They track its possible invasive predators.27. What can be inferred from the passage A. Illegal hunting has pushed dotterels to extinction.B. Dotterels are putting the airport in great potential danger.C. Excessive human protection does no good to endangered animals.D. Endangered dotterels and the busy airport coexist in relative harmony.CThe stranger struck up conversation on a delayed flight between Florida and New York. We were bothstruggling to entertain our kids, and we sympathized with each other awhile. After the children fell asleep, he toldme he’d recently left the church. He said he missed the community and the certainty he once felt. He was stillfiguring out how to raise a child without faith: for example, would I say there was a heaven if my daughter asked,even if I didn’t fully believe it Maybe it feels more natural to speak intimately with a stranger on a flight, when you are both uprooted, notquite sure if it’s night or day or where the sun should hang in the sky. For a few hours we talked about fear andloss, and I later thought that while this kind of intensity is discouraged, maybe such subjects are actually bestexplored with someone completely unfamiliar to you, who sees the world quite differently.Once on solid ground again, the man told me he’d actually had a lot of life-changing chats with strangers. Hewas inspired by the cognitive scientist Laurie Santos, whose course on the science of well-being is now availablefor free online. Santos teaches that the pursuit of happiness is often counter-intuitive. The things we think willmake us feel happier – acing exams, securing a dream job, buying that dress – usually don’t, but small habits canmake a big difference. One of them is talking to strangers.While we tend to focus on our close relationships, psychologists have noticed that even what they call“minimal social interactions” can make us feel happier and more connected. One study found that people who hada brief chat with their waiter, or simply made eye contact and smiled, felt happier and experienced a greater senseof belonging than those who treated the human being in front of them as an extension of the coffee machine.I feel lucky that as a journalist I speak to more strangers than most. Encounters with strangers can be areminder of the vastness of the world and of each other, the impossible-feeling truth that each one of us containsan entire universe of inner life and a singular perspective.28. What was the man’s problem A. The naughty kids exhausted him.B. His daughter was against his faith.C. Talking to a stranger intimately was improper.D. He was uncertain about whether he should back to church.29. What can we learn from Laurie Santos’ course 第 5 页 共 10 页2024 年 6 月A. Our happiness depends on whether we can land an ideal job.B. The pursuit of happiness is seemingly contrary to our common sense.C. Getting all A grades in the exam will absolutely make us feel happier.D. Satisfying your material needs is the way to your happiness and well-being.30. Why does the author mention the study in a coffee shop in paragraph 4 A. To compare human waiters with coffee machines.B. To show the mental benefits of minimal social interactions.C. To share some customers’ happy memory in the coffee shop.D. To criticize some customers didn’t treat their waiter as human-being.31. What’s the best title of the passage A. An Unforgettable Flight ExperienceB. A Life-changing Chat with a FatherC. Interactions with Strangers:the More, the MerrierD. Different Individuals with a Singular PerspectiveDHumans have always looked to nature for inspiration to solve problems. Leonardo da Vinci appliedbiomimicry to the study of birds in the hope of enabling human flight.Although he was not successful at his ownflying machine, his ideas lived on and were the source of inspiration for the Wright Brothers, who were alsoinspired by their observations of pigeon in flight, They finally did succeed in creating and flying the first airplanein 1903.Recent success stories exist in terms of how biomimicry can be applied to building design. While buildingsserve to protect us from nature's extremes, this does not mean that they do not have anything to learn from thebiological world. In fact, nature regularly builds structures with functionality that human-built structures could usefully emulate. Biomimetic research, science and applications continue to grow and are already influencingthe next generation of building products and systems as well as whole building designs.For example, photovoltaic systems ( 光 伏 系 统 ), which harvest solar energy, are a first step atmimicking the way a leaf harvests energy. Research is underway to create solar cells that are very similar to nature.These cells are water-gel-based—essentially artificial leaves that couple plant chlorophyll ( 叶 绿 素 )with carbon materials, ultimately resulting in a more flexible and cost-effective solar cell.The rough surface of a lotus leaf acts as a self-cleaning mechanism allowing dirt to be cleansed off the surfacenaturally by water, for instance, during a rain shower. Even the smallest of breezes on the plant causes a subtleshift in the angle of the plant allowing gravity to remove the dirt without the plant having to consume anyenergy. This same idea has been applied to the design of new building materials such as paints, textiles, and glassthat reduce the need for cleaning and also reduce maintenance and material replacement costs.32. What can we learn from paragraph 1 A. Da Vinci's idea was of little practical use.B. Da Vinci was the first to study biomimicry.C.The Wright Brothers owed their success to da Vinci.D. Pigeons are one source of the inspiration for the first airplane.33. What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 2 probably mean 第 6 页 共 10 页2024 年 6 月A. Compare. B. Perform. C. Copy. D. Apply.34. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs A. Solar cells are more productive with lower cost.B. Solar cells have been widely used in conserving energy.C. The lotus leaves can be employed in new building materials.D. The effect of gravity inspired the development of self-cleaning materials.35. What is the main idea of the text A. Nature has inspired many inventions and will continue to.B. It is rewarding for designers to observe and learn from nature.C. Humans have benefited a lot from consuming natural resources.D. Even the greatest scientists need to stand on the shoulders of giants.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。People approach their work and future career plan differently depending on their personal beliefs,values, and worldview. 36 However, I am convinced that personal profit is not the final point inperforming my working duties.37 . The first one regards self-realization, as I appreciate my work for the possibility ofdeveloping my skills and update my knowledge.

I was in the middle of a busy day, with my mind on what I had to do next. As I drove along a busy street, I noticed a young boy walking out from the entrance to an apartment complex(公寓群) on the other side of the street.I couldn't see beyond the entrance with trees and bushes shading it but I hoped that his family was there, about to appear behind him. The boy was young, maybe four years old, and it was a strange sight to see him alonenear the busy street, even if just for a little while. I continued to look behind me but I didn't see anyone elsecoming out to join him as cars ran swiftly past him. Then, I saw him turning around and running back toward theentrance. I smiled in relief, as I hoped that he was heading back towards his family. Still, I felt I should check tobe sure he was safe and did a U-turn as soon as I was able. As I drove back to where I first saw him, I wasexpecting to see him was safe, with his family around him. Instead, as I got closer, I saw that he had changeddirections again, crossed the median(隔离带) and was quickly running in the opposite direction of the apartmentbuildings. I pulled my car over quickly and as I did so, all the cars on both sides of the street suddenly stopped aswell, as if just realizing the potential danger of the situation.I crossed the street and went up to him. He stopped as I approached, looking at me cautiously and backedaway slightly towards the road. I didn't want to scare him so I bent down a bit. Seeing a piece of paper in hishand, I asked him where his parent were but he did not answer. Instead, he said he was going to where his dadworked and then continued to run away from me along the median.注意:1. 续写词数应为 150 左右。2. 请按以下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。At this point, a man in another car asked if I needed help and I said yes. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________I saw his dad racing towards us and heard him calling out the boy’s name.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________第 10 页 共 10 页2022 级高二下 6 月热身考试英语答案【听力】1-5 BCAAB 6-10 ACBAC 11-15 ABCAC 16-20 CBBAC【阅读理解】21—23 DCB 24—27 BCAD 28—31 DBBC 32—35 DCAA36—40 EACGD【完形填空】41-45 BCACD 46-50 ABDCA 51-55 DDBCA【语法填空】56. amazingly 57. taught 58. with 59. to reach petitors61. which 62. desired 63. or 64. solving 65. personal【书面表达】应用文写作参考范文一Dear Chris,How is everything going Last Saturday, our class went on a hiking trip to the Forest Parkwith the theme "Close to Nature". It was an incredible experience that I'd like to share with you.We were welcomed by the serene beauty of the forest, where we saw a variety of plants andanimals.

Wealso learned about different tree species and their importance to the ecosystem.This trip made me realize how vital it is to protect nature for future generations.

Then he walkedtowards the boy, saying softly that we were just trying to help him. Hearing his gentle words, theboy eventually walked slowly out of the median and followed us to the sidewalk. He handedus the piece of paper, insisting on going to his dad’s office. There was nothing but some graffiti.Feeling confused, we had no choice but to comfort him . So we accompanied him at the entranceof the apartment until he suddenly cried "Dad".I saw his dad racing towards us and heard him calling out the boy's name. He ran to usswiftly through the crowd of cars. As he held his son tightly in his arms, he showed his gratitudesincerely, explaining that he had only been away for a moment and didn't expect his son to wanderoff. He apologized for the inconvenience caused and promised to be more careful in the future.As they walked away, hand in hand, I felt a sense of warmth and joy, knowing that my small act ofkindness had made a difference in someone's life.读后续写参考范文二At this point, a man in another car asked if I needed help and I said yes. We exchanged aquick glance. I caught the boy’s attention, trying to persuade him to walk out of the median in asoft voice. The man quickly got out of his car, approaching the boy quietly. Then he gentlygrabbed the boy’s arm and took him to the pavement safely. We unfolded that paper, expecting tofind a certain address or phone number. To our disappointment, nothing but the boy’s graffiti. Wecomforted and entertained the boy until he suddenly cried “Dad”.I saw his dad racing towards us and heard him calling out the boy's name. The young boyexcitedly ran to his father and embraced him tightly. Witnessing their heartwarming reunion, I felta sense of relief wash over me. The father expressed his gratitude for our assistance and explainedthat the boy had sneaked out of the office while he was asleep. This experience reminded me ofthe importance of remaining watchful and always being ready to lend a helping hand to those inneed.听力原文Text 1M: Excuse me, do you know where I can find the geography books W: Just go to the coffee machine and keep walking, then turn right.M: OK, thanks!
