  (2022·全国甲卷)As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica,she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello.These gentle,lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood,Ginni,now 71,has had a deep love for travel.Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer,she toured in the UK,but always longed to explore further.When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest,she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts,Ginni began to travel the world,eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile.And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego,the southernmost tip of the South American mainland.“I just decided I wanted to go,” she says.“I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous,I just wanted to do it.And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008,Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before,to begin the journey towards Antarctica.“From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises,the whole experience was amazing.Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says.“I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale;it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us.You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land,to be respected by humans,was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.

(2025·沈阳高三质量监测三)
The Sahara is the world’s largest and most magic desert,but knowledge about it is surprisingly limited.Even estimates of when it formed vary widely,from more than five million years ago to mere thousands.Now,however,geologists studying wind-carried Saharan dust on the Canary Islands have come closer to settling this:it is,they report,close to five million years old.
One reason for the uncertainty over the Sahara’s age is that researchers use different methods to estimate it.These include studying desert dust found in sediment (沉积物) under the Atlantic Ocean,analyzing sandstone and modeling the ancient climate.To help settle the uncertainty,Daniel Muhs,geomorphologist of the US Geological Survey,and his colleagues looked at sediment on Spain’s Canary Islands.They found evidence of Saharan dust.The dust appeared in ancient soil layers (层),whose age they assessed on the basis of fossils (化石) found in the same layers—and that age agreed with the earlier marine sediment studies.The researchers reported their findings in November in Palaeogeography,Palaeoclimatology,Palaeoecology.
“The conclusion of the study is very good,” says Zhongshi Zhang,a climate modeler at the University of Bergen in Norway,who was not involved in the work.“Because the dust found on the islands is distinct from the ocean’s record,” Zhang adds,“it helps to build the case for a five-million-year age.”
The Sahara is the biggest source of wind-carried dust in the world—and that dust’s journey does not end in the Canary Islands,which lie just off the western coast of Africa.It continues on to places such as the Amazon rainforest in South America,Daniel notes.Amazon soils are poor in nutrients,and he says the new results help to show how rich dust from Africa could have been supporting the South American region’s incredible biodiversity for millions of years—adding to the Amazon’s own origin story.
语篇类型:说明文
主题语境:人与自然——自然科学研究成果——估算撒哈拉沙漠形成时间
4.How did Daniel settle the formation time of the Sahara
A.By modeling the ancient climate in Spain’s islands.
B.By studying the desert dust under the Atlantic Ocean.
C.By assessing the age of the dust in ancient soil layers.
D.By analyzing the wind-carried sandstone in the Sahara.
答案 C [细节理解题。根据第二段的后半段可知,为了帮助解决对撒哈拉沙漠的形成时间不确定性,Daniel和他的同事研究了西班牙加那利群岛的沉积物,在那里他们发现了撒哈拉沙漠尘土的证据,这种尘土出现在古代的土壤层中。他们以同一个土壤层发现的化石为根据,评估尘土的年龄,发现其年龄与早期的海洋沉积物的研究结果相吻合。由此可知,Daniel通过评估古代土壤层中尘土的年龄来确定撒哈拉沙漠的形成时间,故选C。]
5.What do the underlined words “their findings” in paragraph 2 refer to
A.The appearance of the dust.
B.The formation of two layers.
C.The age of the Saharan dust.
D.The agreement of two layers.
答案 C [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“They found evidence of Saharan dust...that age agreed with the earlier marine sediment studies.”,再结合第4题答案可知,Daniel通过评估古土壤层中尘土的年龄来确定撒哈拉沙漠的形成时间,由此可知,“their findings”指代上文提及的“撒哈拉尘土的年龄”,故选C。]
6.What contributes to the biodiversity of the South America
A.The Saharan dust.
B.The Amazon soils.
C.The Amazon rainforest.
D.The coastal waters.
答案 A [细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Amazon soils are poor in nutrients...the South American region’s incredible biodiversity for millions of years”可知,亚马孙土壤营养贫乏,而新的研究结果有助于揭示,来自非洲的肥沃尘土是如何在数百万年间促成南美洲地区惊人的生物多样性的,故选A。]
7.Which is the most suitable title for the text
A.The Study of the Sahara
B.The Birth of the Sahara
C.The Source of the Sahara
D.The Effect of the Sahara
答案 B [标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“geologists studying wind-carried Saharan dust on the Canary Islands...close to five million years old”可知,本文主要介绍了地质学家研究加那利群岛的沉积物,发现撒哈拉沙漠尘土的证据,通过评估古代土壤层中撒哈拉沙漠尘土的年龄,确定撒哈拉沙漠有近500万年的历史,故B项“撒哈拉沙漠的诞生”最适合作本文的标题。]

(2025·邵阳高三二模)
Coral reefs are the rainforests of the ocean.They exist on vast scales and are equally important havens(避风港) of biodiversity.Reefs occupy 0.1% of the oceans. 1 
 2  Without the protection which reefs afford from crashing waves,low-lying islands such as the Maldives would have flooded long ago,and a billion people would lose food or income.However,reefs are under threat from rising sea temperatures.Heat causes the algae(海藻) with which corals are living together to generate toxins(毒素) that force those coral to leave.This can cause a coral’s death.
Research groups around the world are coming up with plans of action to see if that will help,such as identifying naturally heat-resistant corals and cross-breeding such corals to create a new type. 3 Without carbon reduction and decline in local coral-killing pollution,even resistant corals will not survive the century.
Doubters doubt humanity will get its act together in time to make much difference.
 4 Carbon targets are being set and ocean pollution is being dealt with.Countries that share responsibilities for reefs are starting to act together.Scientific workarounds can also be found.Natural currents can be applied to facilitate mass breeding.Sites of the greatest ecological and economical importance can be identified to maximize bang for buck.
This mix of natural activity and human intervention is important. 5 Hard-core greens—those who think that all habitats should be kept unspoiled—may not approve.But when entire ecosystems are facing destruction,the cost of doing nothing is too great to bear.
A.Corals are useful to people.
B.But there are grounds for optimism.
C.And they host a quarter of marine species.
D.It could serve as a blueprint for other ecosystems.
E.Coral’s global ecosystem services are worth up to $10trn a year.
F.This research can also be brought to bear on trying to save entire ecosystems.
G.However,the assisted evolution of corals does not meet with universal enthusiasm.

It was a perfect day for the beach.My brother and I were meeting our friends on the northeast side of the island,a beach we seldom visited due to the strong currents.
Dad dropped us off an hour before everyone was to arrive.I watched my brother take off into the blue ocean.He was a bodysurfing enthusiast.I decided not to wait for our friends either because the water began to rise,forming a perfect wave.
I held my breath and dove through the wave.I was under the surf,with my eyes wide open,the water like silk flowing over my body.It was cold,like liquid ice waking up my senses.I pulled my body to the surface,allowing fresh air to fill my lungs,and then went back under.I pretended to be a fish,a dolphin,anything that lived under the sea.
After a while,I thought it might be a good idea to head back and see if our friends had arrived.I looked toward the beach and realized I had gone farther out than I should have.I was the only one this far out.
I was not too worried though.I was a pretty good swimmer.But,as I tried to swim,I realized I was making no progress.After what felt like a long while,my body began to feel heavy,and my arms grew tired.However hard I tried to swim,I was not moving any closer to the beach.Worn out,terrified and desperate,I cried for help loudly.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

【参考范文】
I began to think I might drown out there.Just then a stranger appeared in front of me.With the last hope,I gathered all my strength to cry out “Help” but suddenly a huge wave hit me and drowned my cry.I choked on a big swallow of salty water and felt terrible.Fortunately,my angel was swiftly approaching me and then held me tightly with his strong arm.My basic knowledge reminded me to stay relaxed before I fell into a world of darkness.
A moment later,I regained my consciousness. I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to the man who saved my life.But he was gone.So concerned about my safety were my brother and friends that they even didn’t notice him leave.Feeling regretful,I decided to look for him through the Internet,but in vain.I made a post,adding that “Words are far from enough to convey my heartfelt thanks,my angel.Best wishes for you!”,expecting him to see my heart with an increasing number of likes and shares.Although I have not seen my hero ever since,the gratitude to him will live in my heart forever.

主题阅读 综合运用
(2022·全国甲卷)As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica,she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello.These gentle,lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood,Ginni,now 71,has had a deep love for travel.Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer,she toured in the UK,but always longed to explore further.When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest,she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts,Ginni began to travel the world,eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile.And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego,the southernmost tip of the South American mainland.“I just decided I wanted to go,” she says.“I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous,I just wanted to do it.And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008,Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before,to begin the journey towards Antarctica.“From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises,the whole experience was amazing.Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says.“I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale;it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us.You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land,to be respected by humans,was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.

The Sahara is the world’s largest and most magic desert,but knowledge about it is surprisingly limited.Even estimates of when it formed vary widely,from more than five million years ago to mere thousands.Now,however,geologists studying wind-carried Saharan dust on the Canary Islands have come closer to settling this:it is,they report,close to five million years old.
One reason for the uncertainty over the Sahara’s age is that researchers use different methods to estimate it.These include studying desert dust found in sediment (沉积物) under the Atlantic Ocean,analyzing sandstone and modeling the ancient climate.To help settle the uncertainty,Daniel Muhs,geomorphologist of the US Geological Survey,and his colleagues looked at sediment on Spain’s Canary Islands.They found evidence of Saharan dust.The dust appeared in ancient soil layers (层),whose age they assessed on the basis of fossils (化石) found in the same layers—and that age agreed with the earlier marine sediment studies.The researchers reported their_findings in November in Palaeogeography,Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology.
“The conclusion of the study is very good,” says Zhongshi Zhang,a climate modeler at the University of Bergen in Norway,who was not involved in the work.“Because the dust found on the islands is distinct from the ocean’s record,” Zhang adds,“it helps to build the case for a five-million-year age.”
The Sahara is the biggest source of wind-carried dust in the world—and that dust’s journey does not end in the Canary Islands,which lie just off the western coast of Africa.It continues on to
places such as the Amazon rainforest in South America,Daniel notes.Amazon soils are poor in nutrients,and he says the new results help to show how rich dust from Africa could have been supporting the South American region’s incredible biodiversity for millions of years—adding to the Amazon’s own origin story.

主题语境:人与自然——自然科学研究成果——估算撒哈拉沙漠形成时间
4.How did Daniel settle the formation time of the Sahara
A.By modeling the ancient climate in Spain’s islands.
B.By studying the desert dust under the Atlantic Ocean.
C.By assessing the age of the dust in ancient soil layers.
D.By analyzing the wind-carried sandstone in the Sahara.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段的后半段可知,为了帮助解决对撒哈拉沙漠的形成时间不确定性,Daniel和他的同事研究了西班牙加那利群岛的沉积物,在那里他们发现了撒哈拉沙漠尘土的证据,这种尘土出现在古代的土壤层中。他们以同一个土壤层发现的化石为根据,评估尘土的年龄,发现其年龄与早期的海洋沉积物的研究结果相吻合。由此可知,Daniel通过评估古代土壤层中尘土的年龄来确定撒哈拉沙漠的形成时间,故选C。

5.What do the underlined words “their findings” in paragraph 2 refer to
A.The appearance of the dust. B.The formation of two layers.
C.The age of the Saharan dust. D.The agreement of two layers.
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“They found evidence of Saharan dust...that age agreed with the earlier marine sediment studies.”,再结合第4题答案可知,Daniel通过评估古土壤层中尘土的年龄来确定撒哈拉沙漠的形成时间,由此可知,“their findings”指代上文提及的“撒哈拉尘土的年龄”,故选C。

6.What contributes to the biodiversity of the South America
A.The Saharan dust. B.The Amazon soils.
C.The Amazon rainforest. D.The coastal waters.
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Amazon soils are poor in nutrients...the South American region’s incredible biodiversity for millions of years”可知,亚马孙土壤营养贫乏,而新的研究结果有助于揭示,来自非洲的肥沃尘土是如何在数百万年间促成南美洲地区惊人的生物多样性的,故选A。

7.Which is the most suitable title for the text
A.The Study of the Sahara B.The Birth of the Sahara
C.The Source of the Sahara D.The Effect of the Sahara
解析 标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“geologists studying wind-carried Saharan dust on the Canary Islands...close to five million years old”可知,本文主要介绍了地质学家研究加那利群岛的沉积物,发现撒哈拉沙漠尘土的证据,通过评估古代土壤层中撒哈拉沙漠尘土的年龄,确定撒哈拉沙漠有近500万年的历史,故B项“撒哈拉沙漠的诞生”最适合作本文的标题。

Coral reefs are the rainforests of the ocean.They exist on vast scales and are equally important havens(避风港) of biodiversity.Reefs occupy 0.1% of the oceans.__1___
__2__ Without the protection which reefs afford from crashing waves,low-lying islands such as the Maldives would have flooded long ago,and a billion people would lose food or income.However,reefs are under threat from rising sea temperatures.Heat causes the algae(海藻) with which corals are living together to generate toxins(毒素) that force those coral to leave.This can cause a coral’s death.
Research groups around the world are coming up with plans of action to see if that will help,such as identifying naturally heat-resistant corals and cross-breeding such corals to create a new type.__3__Without carbon reduction and decline in local coral-killing pollution,even resistant corals will not survive the century.
Doubters doubt humanity will get its act together in time to make much difference.
__4__Carbon targets are being set and ocean pollution is being dealt with.Countries that share responsibilities for reefs are starting to act together.Scientific workarounds can also be found.Natural currents can be applied to facilitate mass breeding.Sites of the greatest ecological and economical importance can be identified to maximize bang for buck.
This mix of natural activity and human intervention is important.__5__Hard-core greens—those who think that all habitats should be kept unspoiled—may not approve.But when entire ecosystems are facing destruction,the cost of doing nothing is too great to bear.
A.Corals are useful to people.
B.But there are grounds for optimism.
C.And they host a quarter of marine species.
D.It could serve as a blueprint for other ecosystems.
E.Coral’s global ecosystem services are worth up to $10trn a year.
F.This research can also be brought to bear on trying to save entire ecosystems.
G.However,the assisted evolution of corals does not meet with universal enthusiasm.

It was a perfect day for the beach.My brother and I were meeting our friends on the northeast side of the island,a beach we seldom visited due to the strong currents.
Dad dropped us off an hour before everyone was to arrive.I watched my brother take off into the blue ocean.He was a bodysurfing enthusiast.I decided not to wait for our friends either because the water began to rise,forming a perfect wave.
I held my breath and dove through the wave.I was under the surf,with my eyes wide open,the water like silk flowing over my body.It was cold,like liquid ice waking up my senses.I pulled my body to the surface,allowing fresh air to fill my lungs,and then went back under.I pretended to be a fish,a dolphin,anything that lived under the sea.
After a while,I thought it might be a good idea to head back and see if our friends had arrived.I looked toward the beach and realized I had gone farther out than I should have.I was the only one this far out.
I was not too worried though.I was a pretty good swimmer.But,as I tried to swim,I realized I was making no progress.After what felt like a long while,my body began to feel heavy,and my arms grew tired.However hard I tried to swim,I was not moving any closer to the beach.Worn out,terrified and desperate,I cried for help loudly.

I began to think I might drown out there.Just then a stranger appeared in front of me.With the last hope,I gathered all my strength to cry out “Help” but suddenly a huge wave hit me and drowned my cry.I choked on a big swallow of salty water and felt terrible.Fortunately,my angel was swiftly approaching me and then held me tightly with his strong arm.My basic knowledge reminded me to stay relaxed before I fell into a world of darkness.
A moment later,I regained my consciousness. I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to the man who saved my life.But he was gone.So concerned about my safety were my brother and friends that they even didn’t notice him leave.Feeling regretful,I decided to look for him through the Internet,but in vain.I made a post,adding that “Words are far from enough to convey my heartfelt thanks,my angel.Best wishes for you!”,expecting him to see my heart with an increasing number of likes and shares.Although I have not seen my hero ever since,the gratitude to him will live in my heart forever.
