It started back in 2018 when Captain Brandon Upton was out in the gulf waters during a particularly cold afternoon, and he saw a dark shadow floating nearby. As the owner and operator of Sea Tow, a boating assistance company, Upton realized to his shock that they were sea turtles.
“I didn’t touch it, because I know they are endangered and protected,” Upton told the media. “On my way in, I saw more and more sea turtles and was very confused. In all my years on the water, I had never seen anything like it.” Rather than take any actions himself, Upton did the right thing and contacted the animal authorities—in this case, the experts at San Padre Island National Seashore, who explained the turtles had been cold-stunned.
Cold-stunning is a normal event in which the cold-blooded turtles fall into a still state if the seawater temperatures fall below 56°F. Their heart rate and metabolism (新陈代谢) drop sharply, and they float, unable to move. This puts them at risk for boat accidents, drowning, and even land animals that hunt them if the tide and waves should take them onto the beach.
Every winter since then, Upton has remained watchful for possible cold-stunning events. If the water temperatures start to fall too low, Upton will bring an air-boat to pull alongside him, into which he will place any sea turtles he finds. San Padre Island workers receive these cold-stunned animals and place them in a recovery center where their bodies are slowly warmed up to the temperatures needed to restart their systems. Then they’re released.
Upton described his 7 years of free help as “only natural” since he carries a lot of special equipment that makes rescuing turtles easy and is a proud part of the close boating community. He’s an animal lover as well, and whether it’s “taking a spider outside” or helping cold-stunned turtles, he considers them all like a second family.
24．Why did Upton contact the animal authorities
A．He lacked the necessary equipment. B．He feared of being punished by law.
C．He needed to seek professional help. D．He wanted to draw the media’s attention.
25．What’s the purpose of paragraph 3
A．To describe sea turtles’ winter habit. B．To explain cold-stunning and its dangers.
C．To show the importance of temperature. D．To criticize the harm of human activities.
26．Why are the turtles put in a recovery center
A．To do experiments. B．To ensure their survival.
C．To provide a home. D．To set them free.
27．Which of the following can best describe Upton
A．Devoted and caring. B．Talented and curious.
C．Ambitious and honest. D．Creative and determined.
C
Where do the turtles go
Every summer, thousands of endangered green sea turtles climb onto beaches around the world. Each mother sea turtle produces 100 or more eggs in a hole, and covers the hole with sand before she swims away.
Two months later, the eggs hatch(孵化), and the baby turtles climb out of the sand and swim into the ocean. They don’t reappear until they have grown as large as dinner plates. Until now, no one knows where the baby turtles go or what they do.
“if we don’t know where these little turtles are, we can’t protect them,” says Kim Reich, who helps solve part of the mystery.
Her teacher, Karen Bjorndal, has studied green sea turtles for more than 30 years. Every year, Bjorndal goes to the Bahamas Islands. Many young sea turtles come here to live and eat at the end of their childhood.
These turtles are the only sea turtles that live as plant eaters. In fact, their name may be a result of what they eat. The turtles don’t look green but they do have green fat. Scientists learned that the turtles eat green sea plants, which may turn their fat green.
Between 2002 and 2004, Bjorndal caught 44 green sea turtles in the Bahamas. After testing them, she found something to support the 20-year-old idea: baby green sea turtles eat meat before they turn to a diet of plants. In fact, they eat animals that live in the open ocean.
Scientists still need to find where exactly green sea turtles grow. We now know that baby green sea turtles are out in the open ocean, but the open ocean is a big place.
“It is really a problem,” says Bjorndal. The discovery may help us do a better job of protecting this sea animal.
28．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A．baby turtles go to the ocean when they are two months old.
B．Mother turtles leave the eggs alone after they produce them.
C．No one knows when turtles appear on the beach.
D．Mother turtles are as large as dinner plates.
29．Kim Reich does research on where baby turtles go because she wants to _________.
A．help her teacher B．prove an idea
C．protect turtles D．become a scientist
30．What does Karen Bjorndal’s research prove about green sea turtles
A．the young live in the Bahamas Islands.
B．The young eat meat before turning to a diet of plants
C．They live in the open ocean for a lifelong time
D．They are the only sea turtles that live as plant eaters.
31．What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to
A．Finding out where young turtles grow.
B．Protecting this endangered sea animal.
C．Changing young turtles’ eating habits.
D．Living in the open ocean.
D
In the animal kingdom, mimics (模仿) are not rare. Stick insects pretend to be twigs. Hawk moth caterpillars resemble poisonous snakes. The examples, though, are visual. Auditory mimicry is rarer. Danilo Russo of the University of Naples Federico II thinks he has found a novel case of it, as he describes in Current Biology. Some bats, he believes, mimic angry bees in order to scare away owls that might otherwise eat them.
Dr. Russo first noticed bat buzzing a few years ago. The noise struck him is similar to the sound of some bees. He wondered whether bat buzzing was a form of mimicry which helped to scare off would-be predators.
To test this idea, he and his colleagues first recorded the buzzing that captured bats made. Then, with protective clothing, they began the more dangerous task of recording the buzzing made by different puter analysis revealed that bees’ and bats’ buzzing were, indeed, similar.
Then the researchers recruited several owls. They put the owls, one at a time, in an enclosure with branches for them to stay on, and two boxes with holes in them. They placed a loudspeaker alongside one of the boxes and, after the birds had settled in, broadcast through it five seconds of uninterrupted bat buzzing and a similar amount of insect buzzing three times in a row for each noise. As a control, they broadcast in like manner several non-buzzing sounds made by bats.
During the broadcasts and for five minutes thereafter, they videoed the owls. After analysis, the results were unequivocal. When they heard both the bat buzzing and the bee buzzing, the owls moved as far from the speakers as they could. In contrast, when the non-buzzing bat sounds were played, they crept closer.
Dr. Russo believes this is the first reported case of a mammal using auditory mimicry to scare away a predator. They strongly suspect, however, that it is not unique. Anecdotes suggest several birds also make buzzing noises when their nests are disturbed. And with the result of the experiment, he therefore predicts that auditory mimicry is far more widespread than currently realized.
32．What was Dr. Russo’s assumption of the study
A．Only some bats have the capacity of auditory mimicry.
B．The buzzing of bats is similar to the sound of some bees.
C．Auditory mimicry is rather common in the animal kingdom.
D．Bats imitate the voice of angry bees to frighten away enemies.
33．How did Dr. Russo test his idea
A．By collecting computer data.
B．By consulting experts in this field.
C．By referring to other scholars’ analysis.
D．By conducting series of scientific experiments.
34．What does the underlined word “unequivocal” in paragraph 5 possibly mean
A．Disappointing. B．Controversial. C．Definite. D．Uncertain.
35．What is a suitable title for the text
A．Animal Mimicry: Buzz off B．Bats: No More Victim to Owls
C．A Self-protection Behavior among Animals D．A New Trick to Scare Away Owls

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
Catherine was the coolest kid in her class. Whenever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did.
Her deskmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was teased by her classmates, who were always chanting “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面 )”. Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her!
Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular.
One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare!
“What’s the matter with it ” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.”
“Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look.
Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s fatter and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around the garden, and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter lingering around the classroom.
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. Then Catherine spotted Landy sitting by herself in a corner.

Then Catherine spotted Landy sitting by herself in a corner. She kept her head down with her eyes fixed on the floor as usual. It hit Catherine that the pecking order worked in school, too. Landy was just like the poor little chicken, being teased and ignored by her classmates, merely due to her special height. “It’s time for me to make an apology to Landy.” Catherine thought to herself. No sooner had she made up her mind than she announced it to the cool kids surrounding her. Astonished at what she said, all the kids burst out screaming, “Talking to the long spaghetti Are you crazy ”
But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, regardless of what they said. “Hi, Landy. I’m sorry about the spaghetti thing.” Catherine murmured an apology, her face reddening. “I know it hurts you. Can you forgive us ” She figured Landy might just walk away. But she lifted her misty eyes and nodded yes. Catherine wiped away her tears, giving her a warm hug. Moved by the scene, the other kids also came to offer their sincere apologies to Landy. From that day on, no one made up silly chants about Landy, and Catherine also gained an important life lesson that everyone should be treated equally no matter how special he or she was.
