Tiger research: IndonesiaWhile sustainable tourism helps protect many of the Indonesia’s wildlife, one of its rarest species, the Sumatran tiger, suffers as the island’s cities expand into its forest habitat. Fortunately Biosphere Expeditions have created a trip that not only benefits the seriously endangered animal, but helps protect it too. Based in a remote camp in the heart of the rainforest, volunteers will be needed to tour the landscape, documenting tracks, kills and scats (粪便) to aid important research into the lives of these big pany: Biosphere Expeditions Length: 13 days More information: www.biosphere-expeditions.org

Teaching: MoroccoIt’s the breathtaking beauty that draws tourists to Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains, but while the remoteness of the setting may aid its charm it also causes problems. Few inhabitants of the region’s rural villages, especially females, continue their education past primary school. Education For All (EFA) is a Moroccan NGO that builds and runs girls’ boarding houses near secondary schools in the High Atlas, making further education theoretically possible. Based in the beautiful town of Asni, the programme is looking for female volunteers with teaching pany: People and Places Length: 4 weeks (minimum) More information: www.travel-peopleandplaces.co.uk

Why should mankind explore space Why should money, time and effort be spent
exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth These are questions that,
understandably, are very often asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings. What
drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and
environments The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in
surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.
Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives.
We have already benefited from other unexpected benefits including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communication systems. Even non-stick
pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!
While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space
allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or
how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to
survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans
would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.
4 ．Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1
A ．To express his doubts.
B ．To compare different ideas.
C ．To introduce points for discussion.
D ．To describe the conditions on Earth.
5 ．What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2
A ．Humans are nature-born to do so.
B ．Humans have the tendency to fight.
C ．Humans may find new sources of food.
D ．Humans don’t like to stay in the same place.
6 ．What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets
A ．Our genetic makeup.
B ．Resources on the earth.
C ．The adaptive ability of humans.
D ．By-products in space exploration.
7 ．Which of the statements can best sum up the passage
A ．Space exploration has created many wonders.
B ．Space exploration provides the best value for money.
C ．Space exploration can benefit science and technology.
D ．Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.
C
The annual Redhead Days Festival in Tilburg, Netherlands, drew thousands of red-haired people from around the world in August, 2023. The three-day event is a celebration of red hair, a feature only shared by only 1%-2% of the global population. And although redheads can be found all over the world, the numbers are higher for people from the north of Europe, where the rate (比率) is between 2% and 6%.
For many attendees, like 30-year-old Scottish Liam Hunter, the festival is an opportunity to
feel a sense of belonging and self-acceptance. Hunter, who has experienced bullying (霸凌) due to his hair color, expressed a sense of satisfaction and unity at the event. “I don’t feel alone anymore. I feel together, a part of something,” he said.
The event, which attracted about 5, 000 redheads from various countries, offered a range of activities including painting workshops, make-up and skincare knowledge, photo shoots, musical performances, and speed-meet events.
Interestingly, the festival’s start was somewhat accidental. Bart Rouwenhorst, an artist and the event’s organizer, placed an advertisement in the local newspaper in 2005 seeking 15 red-
haired models for a painting project. Surprisingly, he received responses from 150 individuals.
Although Rouwenhorst is not a redhead himself, he decided to organize a group photo with all the respondents. The gathering got much attention and was considered a success, leading the
organizers to establish it as an annual event.
Now the festival serves as a special stage for redheads to celebrate their differences, develop a sense of community, and raise awareness about the challenges they face, such as bullying and increased sensitivity (过敏) to the sun. It also provides an opportunity for
non-redheads to learn about and appreciate the uniqueness of red hair.
8 ．What can we learn from the first paragraph
A ．Redheads celebrate their festival with various activities.
B ．Red hair is a common disease among the global population.
C ．The Redhead Days Festival is celebrated around the world.
D ．Population in northern Europe has a higher rate of redheads.
9 ．What does Hunter’s experience tell us
A ．The redheads enjoy a high social position. B ．The redheads take pride in their difference.
C ．The redheads face discrimination sometimes.D ．The redheads have trouble keeping up with others.
10 ．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A ．The origin of the festival. B ．The popularity of the festival.
C ．Customs during the festival. D ．Activities during the festival.
11 ．Which of the following can best describe the event
A ．Challenging. B ．Informal. C ．Remarkable. D ．Meaningless.
D
Horses are certainly a marvel (奇异的事物) of creation. They are extremely strong and
interact (互动) with their environment through their pared to us, they see better, hear better, have a better sense of smell, and can feel the smallest insect on their bodies. They have
survived by using their senses to get away from danger for centuries.
Hearing
Riding animals have excellent hearing, better than that of humans. Horses’ ears rotate (转
动) 180 degrees and generally face the direction the animal is looking. They can focus one eye and ear on the rider and one eye and ear on something else. When they hear something, horses want to see the cause. Noise created by traffic, wind, and other distractions (分心的事物) can greatly
affect their hearing, and cause horses to become skittish. Riding animals in more complex
environments become used to disturbing noises after repeated exposure to (暴露于) them.
Vehicles backfiring, gunfire, helicopters, trains and mechanical equipment can be tolerated by riding animals that are accustomed to (习惯于) them. Horses that spend time in rural areas get used to noises there, such as the sounds of farm animals or forest activities. However, all these sounds and many others can startle (使惊吓) riding animals unfamiliar with them, making it difficult for riders to keep control.
Smell
Horses have an excellent sense of smell, much better than that of humans. They may use
smell to find their way back. They readily smell other animals, and they can tell differences in the smell of water. Most horses are happy to drink muddy water from a puddle (水坑) because it has a natural smell, but they may refuse to drink from an unfamiliar source. Many riders travel with an old water bucket so their horses will welcome water in the campground.
Touch
Horses are so sensitive to touch that they can feel a fly land on a single hair. Slight pressure from a rider’s legs can guide a horse forward and anything touching its body hair can alert (使警觉) the animal to trouble. If a horse brushes up against a narrow passage and feels trapped, its
survival nature kicks in. Sharp objects easily cut or damage the relatively tender skin of a horse and painful or sharp impacts cause a horse to run away from the offending object, potentially
injuring itself or others.
Curiosity
Some horses are exceptionally daring. Their curiosity leads them to explore anything new
in their environment. They smell, push, move, pick up, or play with new objects within their
reach. They may pull things into a corral (畜栏) with their teeth or kneel to reach underneath
fences for something they want. Depending on the design of the fence or barrier and the size of the animal, horses may be able to reach 6 feet beyond its edge.
12 ．The underlined word “skittish” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.
A ．frightened B ．puzzled
C ．curious D ．calm
13 ．Riders are advised to travel with an old water bucket because .
A ．their horses prefer to drink from a puddle
B ．there isn’t enough water in the campground
C ．their horses need a familiar smell to find their way back
D ．water with a familiar smell is welcomed by their horses
14 ．How will horses do when they are curious about something outside their fences
A ．They focus their eyes on the thing.
B ．They use their feet to touch the thing.
C ．They try their best to reach the thing.
D ．They struggle to get out of their fences.
15 ．What’s the best title for the passage
A ．A brief introduction to horses’ senses
B ．How horses use their hearing and smell
C ．Why horses are called a marvel of creation
D ．Comparison between horses’ senses and humans’

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。 I still remember what I felt on a bright Saturday morning in late September, at a
five-kilometer race in Clarkston, Georgia.
It was an unusual morning. About an hour earlier, when we drove into town to participate in the race, my 11-year-old son noticed a green tree cricket（蟋蟀） on my car. It was friendly, no longer than a fingernail. It jumped onto my son’s finger, and walked across my shirt, and then
went back to my son’s hand, where it stayed so long that we eventually gave it a name: Little Friend.
The walk from the car to the registration table was perhaps a quarter of a mile. Little Friend stayed with my son. Then, we walked back across the railroad tracks and waited for the race to
start. A few minutes before the race, Little Friend either fell or jumped off my son’s hand and
landed on the sidewalk. Maybe it wanted to go free. But this was not a good place for that.
Pedestrian（行人）traffic was heavy, so Little Friend was in danger. My son knelt and reached out his hand. It came back.
The race was about to start, and the tiny green insect was in for a wild ride. My son would run fast, and the race would be long. The race began. I ran well enough, and felt excited at the
finish line. But that thrill gave way to anxiety when my son didn’t show up.
I knew he could run 5 kilometers in about 30 minutes. When I didn’t see him at the
35-minute mark, I began to wonder what had gone wrong. And as the 40-minute mark approached and he still didn’t appear, I went out looking for him. Had he got lost I crossed the railroad tracks and looked down a long straightaway, hoping to see his face. Finally, there he was, just ahead of the 45-minute mark.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Little Friend was riding proudly on one finger of my son’s right hand.
Smiling, we walked back to the car with Little Friend.

these big cats.(幸运的是，生物圈探险队创造了一个不仅有益于严重濒危动物，而且有助于保护它的旅行。志愿者们将在雨林中心的一个偏远营地中工作，他们将巡视这片土地，记录足迹、杀戮和粪便，以协助对这些大型猫科动物生活的重要研究)”可知，如果你想帮助野生动物研究，你可以去印度尼西亚。故选 C。
2 ．推理判断题。根据 Teaching: Morocco 部分中的“It’s the breathtaking beauty that draws
tourists to Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains, but while the remoteness of the setting may aid its
charm it also causes problems. Few inhabitants of the region’s rural villages, especially females,
continue their education past primary school.(摩洛哥阿特拉斯山脉的美景吸引着游客，但尽管地理位置偏远有助于提升其魅力，但也带来了一些问题。该地区的农村居民，尤其是女性，很少能在小学毕业后继续接受教育)”及“More information:

本文是一篇说明文。文章从人类天性的角度剖析了人类进行太空探索的动机，以及从中获得的益处——太空探索可以帮助我们避免地球上潜在的一些问题。
4 ．推理判断题。根据第一段“Why should mankind explore space Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits Why should
resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth These are questions
that, understandably, are very often asked. (人类为什么要探索太空？为什么要花费金钱、时间和精力去探索和研究那些没有什么明显好处的东西呢？为什么资源应该花在太空上，而不是花在地球上的环境和人身上？可以理解的是，这些问题经常被问到)”可知，作者用连续的三个问题来说明人们对太空探索的意义的困惑，再结合下文段落对此进行解答可推知，作者提出这些问题是为了引出要讨论的主题——太空探索的意义。故选 C 项。
5．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings. (也许最好的答案在于我们作为人类的基因构成)”和“Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible. (也许探索太空的最好理由是这种向任何可能的地方扩张的遗传倾向)”可知，本段给出的理由是人类的基因决定了人类倾向于向任何可能的地方扩张，去探索太空，即人类天生就会这么做。故选 A 项。
6．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. (虽然地球是已知的唯一一个支持生命的星球，但人类的适应能力肯定会允许我们在其他星球上生活)”可知，人类的适应能力使得人类居住在其他星球上成为可能。故选 C 项。
7 ．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段以问题的形式引出对太空探索意义的思考，第二到五段从不同方面说明进行太空探索的原因，包括人类有向任何可能的地方扩张的基因倾向，每个文明都会探索周围环境以降低危险，探索使得人类能够发现潜在能源，发现拯救自身的办法，第六段用人类强大的适应能力说明人类有可能住在其他星球上，表达对未来的希望。由此可知，文章的主旨是太空探索可以帮助我们避免地球上潜在的一些问题。故选 D 项。

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了红发节的起源和节日期间的一些活动情况。
8．细节理解题。根据第一段“And although redheads can be found all over the world, the numbers are higher for people from the north of Europe, where the rate (比率) is between 2% and 6%.(尽管世界各地都有红头发的人，但北欧人的红头发比例更高，在 2%到 6%之间)”可知，北欧人的红发率较高。故选 D。
9 ．细节理解题。根据第二段“For many attendees, like 30-year-old Scottish Liam Hunter, the festival is an opportunity to feel a sense of belonging and self-acceptance. Hunter, who has
experienced bullying (霸凌) due to his hair color, expressed a sense of satisfaction and unity at the event.(对于许多参与者来说，比如 30 岁的苏格兰人利亚姆·亨特，这个节日是一个感受归属感和自我接纳的机会。亨特曾因自己的发色而遭受欺凌，他在活动中表达了一种满足感和团结感)”可知，亨特的经历告诉我们红头发的人有时会受到歧视。故选 C。
10 ．主旨大意题。根据第四段“Interestingly, the festival’s start was somewhat accidental. Bart Rouwenhorst, an artist and the event’s organizer, placed an advertisement in the local newspaper in 2005 seeking 15 red- haired models for a painting project. Surprisingly, he received responses
from 150 individuals. Although Rouwenhorst is not a redhead himself, he decided to organize a
group photo with all the respondents. The gathering got much attention and was considered a
success, leading the organizers to establish it as an annual event.(有趣的是，这个节日的开始有点偶然。2005 年，艺术家兼活动组织者 Bart Rouwenhorst 在当地报纸上刊登了一则广告，为一个绘画项目寻找 15 名红发模特。令人惊讶的是，他收到了 150 个人的回复。虽然鲁文霍斯特本人并不是红发，但他还是决定和所有受访者拍一张合影。这次聚会受到了广泛的关注，被认为是一次成功的聚会，因此组织者将其确立为一年一度的活动)”可知，第四段的主要内容是节日的起源。故选 A。
11 ．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The gathering got much attention and was considered a
success, leading the organizers to establish it as an annual event.(这次聚会受到了广泛的关注，
被认为是一次成功的聚会，因此组织者将其确立为一年一度的活动)”可推知，这一活动是引人注目的。故选 C。

(
一
)主要介绍马作为 种神奇的生物，凭借其卓越的感官能力与环境互动并生存，详细阐述了马在听力、嗅觉、触觉以及好奇心驱使下的行为表现等方面的特点。
12．词义猜测题。根据第二段中“Noise created by traffic, wind, and other distractions can greatly affect their hearing, and cause horses to become skittish.(交通、风和其他干扰产生的噪音会极大地影响它们的听力，导致马变得 skittish)” 以及其后“However, all these sounds and many others can startle riding animals unfamiliar with them, making it difficult for riders to keep control.(然而，所有这些声音以及许多其他声音会惊吓到不熟悉它们的骑乘动物，使骑手难以控制)”可知，噪音影响马的听力并致使它们出现的这种状态与“受惊的”相关，进而导致骑手难以控制，由此推测“skittish”意为“受惊的；易受惊的” ，与 A 选项“frightened”意思相符。
13 ．细节理解题。根据第三段“Most horses are happy to drink muddy water from a puddle
because it has a natural smell, but they may refuse to drink from an unfamiliar source. Many riders travel with an old water bucket so their horses will welcome water in the campground.(大多数马 乐意喝来自水坑的泥水，因为它有一种自然的气味，但它们可能会拒绝从不熟悉的水源喝水。许多骑手出行会带上一个旧水桶，以便他们的马在露营地会愿意喝水)”可知，骑手被建议携带旧水桶，是因为马喜欢有熟悉气味的水，这样马在露营地才会接受所提供的水。
14 ．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Their curiosity leads them to explore anything new in their
environment. They may pull things into a corral with their teeth or kneel to reach underneath
fences for something they want. Depending on the design of the fence or barrier and the size of the animal, horses may be able to reach 6 feet beyond its edge.(它们的好奇心驱使它们探索周围环境中的任何新事物。它们可能会用牙齿把东西拉进畜栏，或者跪下来从围栏下面够它们想要的东西。根据围栏或障碍物的设计以及马的大小，马也许能够够到围栏边缘 6 英尺以外的东西)”可知，当马对围栏外的事物好奇时，它们会想尽办法去够到那个东西。
15 ．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Horses are certainly a marvel (奇异的事物) of creation. They are extremely strong and interact (互动) with their environment through their pared to us, they see better, hear better, have a better sense of smell, and can feel the smallest insect on their
bodies. They have survived by using their senses to get away from danger for centuries.(马无疑是大自然造物的一大奇物。 它们体格极其强健，依靠感官与周遭环境互动。 和人类相比，它们视力、听力更敏锐，嗅觉也更灵敏，还能感知到落在身上极其微小的昆虫。 数百年来，
马儿正是凭借自身的感官躲避危险，得以繁衍生存)”可知，文章开篇表明马是神奇的生物，接着从听力、嗅觉、触觉以及好奇心引发的行为等方面，详细介绍了马的感官特点，所以“A brief introduction to horses’ senses(马的感官简介)”为最佳标题。

47 ．Little Friend was riding proudly on one finger of my son’s right hand. It was like a very small captain on a very big ship. My predictions had been wrong. My son hadn’t run fast. He blamed a
cold he was getting over. However, I knew the real reason. While he was running, his arms would swing, and Little Friend would be bounced and eventually fall to the ground, which would
certainly put its life in danger. So my son had to slow down his running speed to protect it. But I
didn’t question him too much about it. I think there’s more than one way to win a race.
Smiling, we walked back to the car with Little Friend. My son carefully found some bushes in the parking lot which seemed like a good place for him to drop off Little Friend. He seemed lost and unwilling to give up on Little Friend. But he knew their brief and intense friendship had to run its course. “Be free,” my son said, and gently pushed Little Friend. It took some more pushes, and Little Friend finally sprang from his finger and jumped downward, its bright green body integrated with the dark green bushes. The small creature went out of sight and sought its freedom.
