Animal rescuer Douglas Thron’s passion for animals began when he was a little kid. “I wanted to be a wildlife cinematographer (电影摄影师),” Thron recalled.
When Thron grew up, he did just that, working as a cinematographer for shows like Shark Week, filming great white sharks off the coast of Santa Cruz. It was the hurricane in the Bahamas in 2018 that pushed him to do animal rescue work.
The first animal Thron ever rescued was a dog after the hurricane. Then Thron was testing out using a drone (无人驾驶飞机) and found the dog in the middle of the ruins where hundreds of houses had been destroyed. Equipped with an infrared scope (红外线镜), the camera of the drone used heat to detect the animals at night. “The animal’s body temperature will produce light on the screen and you can pick it out amongst the ruins,” explains Thron. He rescued him. And as nobody claimed him after 30 days, he adopted him. “He is a wonderful partner,” Thron laughed.
Thron has been going non-stop since then. His TV show, Doug to the Rescue, shows some of his heartwarming animal rescues, including after Hurricane Laura in Louisiana and after fires in Northern California and Oregon. Thron also helped rescue koalas after fires damaged parts of Australia, using drones to help locate the animals.
Thron’s dream is to one day have an animal rescue center where he can train others to fly drones and to make Infrared drones as popular for rescuing animals as helicopters are for rescuing people after a disaster.
“It blows me away how many more animals we’re able to save,” Thron says, “and how much faster we can save them before they might pass away after a disaster.”
4. What was Thron mainly responsible for as a cinematographer
A. Reporting natural disasters. B. Protecting sharks.
C. Advertising drones. D. Filming wild animals.
5. What inspired Thron to start rescuing animals
A. A hurricane in the Bahamas. B. A terrible fire in California.
C. The bad situation of sharks. D. A TV show named Shark Week.
6. What happened to the first animal Thron ever rescued
A. It rescued Thron in return.
B. It passed away after 30 days.
C. It was trained to rescue other animals.
D. It became good company for Thron.
7. Why does Thron dream of having an animal rescue center
A. To help animals recover from disasters.
B. To raise awareness about animal protection.
C. To train people to use drones to rescue animals.
D. To provide shelter for the animals he has rescued.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了野生动物电影摄影师Douglas Thorn通过红外手持摄像机和无人机救助动物的事迹。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“When Thron grew up, he did just that, working as a cinematographer for shows like Shark Week, filming great white sharks off the coast of Santa Cruz. (当Thron长大后，他就是这样做的，在《鲨鱼周》等节目中担任电影摄影师，在圣克鲁斯海岸拍摄大白鲨)”可知，作为一名电影摄影师，瑟隆主要负责拍摄动物。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“It was the hurricane in the Bahamas in 2018 that pushed him to do animal rescue work.( 是2018年巴哈马群岛的飓风促使他从事动物救援工作)”可知，发生在巴哈马群岛的飓风让瑟隆开始挽救动物。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The first animal Thron ever rescued was a dog after the hurricane.(瑟隆救的第一只动物是飓风过后的一只狗)”和“And as nobody claimed him after 30 days, he adopted him. “He is a wonderful partner,” Thron laughed. (30天后没人认领他，他就收养了他。“他是个很棒的搭档，”瑟隆笑到)”可知，Thron收养了他救助的第一只狗，它成了瑟隆的好伙伴。故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Thron’s dream is to one day have an animal rescue center where he can train others to fly drones and to make Infrared drones as popular for rescuing animals as helicopters are for rescuing people after a disaster.( Thron的梦想是有一天拥有一个动物救援中心，在那里他可以训练其他人驾驶无人机，并使红外无人机像直升机一样在灾难后救援人员一样受欢迎)”可知，瑟隆想要拥有一个动物救助中心，训练人们使用无人机救助动物。故选C。

Lack of sleep has been linked to heart disease, poor mood and loneliness. It could also make people less generous, researchers report in PLOS Biology.
To test the link between sleep loss and generosity, Eti Ben Simon and her team first brought 23 participants into the lab for two nights. The participants slept through one night and stayed awake for another night. In the mornings, participants completed a questionnaire rating their likelihood of helping strangers in various situations. Participants rated on a scale (等级) from one to five, with one for least likely to help and five for most likely. About 80 percent of participants showed less likelihood of helping others when sleep-deprived (睡眠不足的) than when rested.
In another experiment, the researchers gathered 136 participants online and had them keep a sleep journal for four nights. Each participant then completed the same questionnaire as in the first experiment before 1 pm the next day. The researchers found that the more time participants spent awake in bed, the lower their scores were.
In the final experiment focused on Daylight Saving Time (DST), the researchers looked at 16 years of charitable donations to Donors Choose, a nonprofit that raises money for school projects. In the workweek following the time change, total donations, which typically averaged about $82 per day, dropped to about $73 per day. That is to say, the hour of sleep lost in the switch over to DST every spring appears to reduce people’s tendency to help others.
Sleep deprivation in the modern world is a serious problem, Ben Simon says. But unlike many other large-scale problems-like climate change—this one has a ready solution. “If you think about promoting sleep and letting people get the sleep they need, what an impact that could have on the societies we live in!” she said.
8. Where did the participants complete questionnaires in the first experiment
A In a laboratory. B. In their workplaces.
C. On the road. D. On the Internet.
9. What were the participants in the second experiment asked to do
A. Express their understanding of DST.
B. Record their sleep time by themselves.
C. Write down their daily activities before bed.
D. Sleep through one night and stay awake for another.
10. What does the underlined part “the time change” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The change in one’s working hours.
B. The switch from day to night.
C. The one-hour switch over to DST.
D. The switch from the weekend to the weekday.
11. Which aspect of sleep deprivation is the text mainly about
A. Its impact on one’s work. B. Its impact on one’s emotion.
C. Its impact on one’s health. D. Its impact on one’s social behavior.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了睡眠不足对人们的影响，一项实验发现睡眠不足的人还不太可能帮助他人。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Eti Ben Simon and her team first brought 23 participants into the lab for two nights. The participants slept through one night and stayed awake for another night. In the mornings, participants completed a questionnaire rating their likelihood of helping strangers in various situations.(埃蒂·本·西蒙和她的团队首先让23名参与者在实验室呆了两个晚上。参与者睡了一个晚上，另一个晚上保持清醒。早上，参与者完成了一份调查问卷，评估他们在不同情况下帮助陌生人的可能性。)”可知，在第一个实验中，参与者在一个实验室完成了一份问卷调查。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“In another experiment, the researchers gathered 136 participants online and had them keep a sleep journal for four nights. Each participant then completed the same questionnaire as in the first experiment before 1 pm the next day.( 在另一项实验中，研究人员在网上召集了136名参与者，让他们连续四个晚上记录睡眠日志。然后，每个参与者在第二天下午1点之前完成与第一次实验相同的问卷。)”可知，在第二个实验中，参与者要自己记录睡眠时间。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。上文“In the final experiment focused on Daylight Saving Time (DST), the researchers looked at 16 years of charitable donations to Donors Choose, a nonprofit that raises money for school projects.(在最后一个关于夏令时(DST)的实验中，研究人员查看了16年来捐赠者选择的慈善捐款，这是一个为学校项目筹集资金的非营利组织。)”说明这个实验集中在夏令时上，第四段最后一句“That is to say, the hour of sleep lost in the switch over to DST every spring appears to reduce people’s tendency to help others.(也就是说，每年春天转换为夏令时时减少的睡眠时间似乎会降低人们帮助他人的倾向。)”，结合划线句“In the workweek following the time change, total donations, which typically averaged about $82 per day, dropped to about $73 per day.(在时间改变后的一周内，捐款总额从平均每天82美元降至每天73美元左右。)”可知，划线部分的“时间改变”指的是切换到夏令时将提早一个小时这一转换。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据整篇文章，尤其是第一段“Lack of sleep has been linked to heart disease, poor mood and loneliness. It could also make people less likely to generous, researchers report in PLOS Biology. (睡眠不足与心脏病、情绪低落和孤独有关。研究人员日在《公共科学图书馆·生物学》杂志上报告称，它也会使我们不太可能慷慨)”可知，本文主要讲述睡眠不足对人们的影响，并通过实验主要说明睡眠不足的人不太可能慷慨的帮助他人，也就是睡眠不足对社会行为的影响。故选D。

It said 64 tailings ponds in the area have not been closed as required, while the soil and rocks removed from some abandoned mines are illegally occupying nearby forests or grassland. The inspection team also noted other environmental problems in Shaanxi, such as the illegal us of underground water and pollution along the Yellow River due to the improper treatment of pollutant discharges from nearby mines and factories.
“The provincial government should maintain a firm attitude to safeguard Qinling, the bio-safety barrier in northern China, and put environmental protection work into practice, “the team said. It also stressed the important role environmental protection along the Yellow River plays in the country’s high-quality development and urged the provincial government to better perform its duties in protecting water resources.

A. Massive mining activities. B. Poor geographical conditions.
C. Illegal discharge of pollutants. D. Improper use of underground water.

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。
It was Saturday. When Adam was wide awake, the house was quiet, so he knew his parents were still sleeping. They always slept late on the weekend. He could hear his father snoring (打鼾). Even the cat was still asleep on the rocking chair by the fireplace with its tail curled over the nose.
His mother had promised that they would go on a picnic in the park that day. He had been looking forward to it for a long time. He liked the peanut butter and banana sandwiches she made. They would play catch and maybe fly a kite if the wind was moderato. Adam thought maybe he should wake his parents up then.
However, it still looked dark outside. Usually, at that time, the sun was shining through the windows. Maybe it was cloudy. Adam thought. He got out of his bed and went to his parents’ room. He climbed onto their bed and got in the middle between them. His father turned over. His mother opened one eye and saw Adam there.
“Hello!” said Adam, cheerfully. “It’s time to get up and go to the park!” His mother yawned and rubbed her eyes. “Hi,” she whispered. “What time is it ” “I don’t know,” replied Adam. “Oh, Adam,” said his mother, looking at the time on her phone.
“It’s too early. Let’s go back to sleep.” She closed her eyes again. “But it’s morning. And you promised a picnic today!” “Ugh,” said his mother. “I guess you aren’t going back to bed. Okay, give me a few minutes.”
His mother went to the glass door leading to the backyard. She looked out of it. The leaves on the trees were blowing, and the glass was covered with tiny, clear drops of water. She said to her son, “Adam, it’s raining, so we can’t go on a picnic today.”
This was not the news Adam wanted to hear. He sat down on the floor and held his chin in his hands. He wondered what his father would do when he got up.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
Several minutes later, Adam’s father got up.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Finally, they came back, wet but happy.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Several minutes later, Adam’s father got up. He had heard the bad news about the rain. However, what made Adam excited was that his father still agreed to go to the park, saying that the rain might influence their picnic in the park, but it could also be fun. They found their raincoats and rubber boot; and set out for the park. The rain was still coming down when they arrived at the park. However, they enjoyed the fresh air, jumped over the water holes, and splashed water everywhere. The whole morning, they laughed, jumped and sang happily in the park.
Finally, they came back, wet but happy. Adam’s mom handed towels to them for drying off. She asked them to go into the living room. She had spread out a blanket on the floor by the fireplace. There were plates filled with Adam’s favorite peanut butter and banana sandwiches. There was chocolate milk in tall glasses with straws. Adam also saw carrots, apple slices and hot dogs on sticks for roasting. They had an indoor picnic on the blanket, which made Adam even happier.

Animal rescuer Douglas Thron’s passion for animals began when he was a little kid. “I wanted to be a wildlife cinematographer (电影摄影师)” Thron recalled.
When Thron grew up, he did just that, working as a cinematographer for shows like Shark Week, filming great white sharks off the coast of Santa Cruz. It was the hurricane in the Bahamas in 2018 that pushed him to do animal rescue work.
The first animal Thron ever rescued was a dog after the hurricane. Then Thron was testing out using a drone (无人驾驶飞机) and found the dog in the middle of the ruins where hundreds of houses had been destroyed. Equipped with an infrared scope (红外线镜), the camera of the drone used heat to detect the animals at night. “The animal’s body temperature will produce light on the screen and you can pick it out amongst the ruins,” explains Thron. He rescued him. And as nobody claimed him after 30 days, he adopted him. “He is a wonderful partner,” Thron laughed.
Thron has been going non-stop since then. His TV show, Doug to the Rescue, shows some of his heartwarming animal rescues, including after Hurricane Laura in Louisiana and after fires in Northern California and Oregon. Thron also helped rescue koalas after fires damaged parts of Australia, using drones to help locate the animals.
Thron’s dream is to one day have an animal rescue center where he can train others to fly drones and to make Infrared drones as popular for rescuing animals as helicopters are for rescuing people after a disaster.
“It blows me away how many more animals we’re able to save,” Thron says, “and how much faster we can save them before they might pass away after a disaster.”
4. What was Thron mainly responsible for as a cinematographer
A. Reporting natural disasters. B. Protecting sharks.
C. Advertising drones. D. Filming wild animals.
5. What inspired Thron to start rescuing animals
A. A hurricane in the Bahamas. B. A terrible fire in California.
C. The bad situation of sharks. D. A TV show named Shark Week.
6. What happened to the first animal Thron ever rescued
A. It rescued Thron in return.
B. It passed away after 30 days.
C. It was trained to rescue other animals.
D. It became good company for Thron.
7. Why does Thron dream of having an animal rescue center
A. To help animals recover from disasters.
B. To raise awareness about animal protection.
C. To train people to use drones to rescue animals.
D. To provide shelter for the animals he has rescued.
C
Lack of sleep has been linked to heart disease, poor mood and loneliness. It could also make people less generous, researchers report in PLOS Biology.
To test the link between sleep loss and generosity, Eti Ben Simon and her team first brought 23 participants into the lab for two nights. The participants slept through one night and stayed awake for another night. In the mornings, participants completed a questionnaire rating their likelihood of helping strangers in various situations. Participants rated on a scale (等级) from one to five, with one for least likely to help and five for most likely. About 80 percent of participants showed less likelihood of helping others when sleep-deprived (睡眠不足的) than when rested.
In another experiment, the researchers gathered 136 participants online and had them keep a sleep journal for four nights. Each participant then completed the same questionnaire as in the first experiment before 1 pm the next day. The researchers found that the more time participants spent awake in bed, the lower their scores were.
In the final experiment focused on Daylight Saving Time (DST), the researchers looked at 16 years of charitable donations to Donors Choose, a nonprofit that raises money for school projects. In the workweek following the time change, total donations, which typically averaged about $82 per day, dropped to about $73 per day. That is to say, the hour of sleep lost in the switch over to DST every spring appears to reduce people’s tendency to help others.
Sleep deprivation in the modern world is a serious problem, Ben Simon says. But unlike many other large-scale problems-like climate change—this one has a ready solution. “If you think about promoting sleep and letting people get the sleep they need, what an impact that could have on the societies we live in!” she said.
8. Where did the participants complete questionnaires in the first experiment
A. In a laboratory. B. In their workplaces.
C. On the road. D. On the Internet.
9. What were the participants in the second experiment asked to do
A. Express their understanding of DST.
B. Record their sleep time by themselves.
C. Write down their daily activities before bed.
D. Sleep through one night and stay awake for another.
10. What does the underlined part “the time change” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The change in one’s working hours.
B. The switch from day to night.
C. The one-hour switch over to DST.
D. The switch from the weekend to the weekday.
11. Which aspect of sleep deprivation is the text mainly about
A. Its impact on one’s work. B. Its impact on one’s emotion.
C. Its impact on one’s health. D. Its impact on one’s social behavior.
D
Environmental restoration projects in Shaanxi province! Qinling Mountains were not conducted in a timely manner, a central government inspection team has revealed, urging provincial government departments to better shoulder their environmental protection responsibilities.
The Qinling Mountains are a geographically important north-south boundary in China and home to more than 2, 600 plant species and 300 animal species including giant pandas. In the last couple of decades, the Qinling Mountains have attracted many investment projects due to their rich natural and historical resources, dotting the area with hundreds of small coal and mineral mines, which led to serious damage to the local environment.
In December 2019, the provincial government banned all exploring and mining activities in key protected areas of the mountains and told enterprises already established there to gradually leave. “After 169 mining companies departed, environmental restoration was conducted slowly, “the inspection team told the provincial government. “The target of restoring 1,000 hectares of abandoned mines by 2020 has yet to be achieved.”
It said 64 tailings ponds in the area have not been closed as required, while the soil and rocks removed from some abandoned mines are illegally occupying nearby forests or grassland. The inspection team also noted other environmental problems in Shaanxi, such as the illegal us of underground water and pollution along the Yellow River due to the improper treatment of pollutant discharges from nearby mines and factories.
“The provincial government should maintain a firm attitude to safeguard Qinling, the bio-safety barrier in northern China, and put environmental protection work into practice, “the team said. It also stressed the important role environmental protection along the Yellow River plays in the country’s high-quality development and urged the provincial government to better perform its duties in protecting water resources.
12. What is a major cause of the environmental problem in Qinling Mountain
A. Massive mining activities. B. Poor geographical conditions.
C. Illegal discharge of pollutants. D. Improper use of underground water.
13. What has been done to help solve the problem
A. Removing soil and rocks. B. Banning investment projects.
C. Departing mining companies. D. Limiting pollutant discharges.
14. How can the process of restoration be described
A. Effective but slow. B. Timely and efficient.
C. Illegal and unreliable. D. Costly but successful.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. The importance of wildlife conservation. B. An introduction to an eco-friendly policy.
C. An expectation for local economic development. D. The measures on provincial mountain restoration.

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。
It was Saturday. When Adam was wide awake, the house was quiet, so he knew his parents were still sleeping. They always slept late on the weekend. He could hear his father snoring (打鼾). Even the cat was still asleep on the rocking chair by the fireplace with its tail curled over the nose.
His mother had promised that they would go on a picnic in the park that day. He had been looking forward to it for a long time. He liked the peanut butter and banana sandwiches she made. They would play catch and maybe fly a kite if the wind was moderato. Adam thought maybe he should wake his parents up then.
However, it still looked dark outside. Usually, at that time, the sun was shining through the windows. Maybe it was cloudy. Adam thought. He got out of his bed and went to his parents’ room. He climbed onto their bed and got in the middle between them. His father turned over. His mother opened one eye and saw Adam there.
“Hello!” said Adam, cheerfully. “It’s time to get up and go to the park!” His mother yawned and rubbed her eyes. “Hi,” she whispered. “What time is it ” “I don’t know,” replied Adam. “Oh, Adam,” said his mother, looking at the time on her phone.
“It’s too early. Let’s go back to sleep.” She closed her eyes again. “But it’s morning. And you promised a picnic today!” “Ugh,” said his mother. “I guess you aren’t going back to bed. Okay, give me a few minutes.”
His mother went to the glass door leading to the backyard. She looked out of it. The leaves on the trees were blowing, and the glass was covered with tiny, clear drops of water. She said to her son, “Adam, it’s raining, so we can’t go on a picnic today.”
This was not the news Adam wanted to hear. He sat down on the floor and held his chin in his hands. He wondered what his father would do when he got up.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
Several minutes later, Adam’s father got up.
