B One sunny morning, my wife and I piled the kids into the car with a hope that my memory was reliable. We went out looking for “my
18、” trees. About 25 years ago, I started working as a tree planter in Northern Ontario. I would have planted several thousand a day, every day, for weeks and weeks. I worked every summer for six years, which added up to over 500,000 trees. While we were planting, we talked about what our trees would b
19、e like when they grew taller. The small trees were no longer than my thumb. It seemed unlikely our trees would last more than a day or two. Eventually, I stopped the car and stared at the clear blue sky and treetops softly waving. I walked toward them. They were so tall and solid, much bigger than I
20、 thought they would be. There were so many of them, waving soundlessly in the wind like they were welcoming me. Row upon row of fully grown, healthy pines left me speechless. They spoke of that time of my life, in 1995, when I was strong and young in my mid-20s. I walked among them, listening to the
21、 sound of the wind in their high branches. Humbled and moved, I never had such a strong sense of my impact on the world. I felt a quiet presence and at home among my trees, as if they had been waiting for me. What was unclear and unlikely had grown specific and very real. What I had held in my hands
22、 had grown into a towering forest surrounding me. My kids ran to join me. “You planted all these?” asked my 10-year-old son, Forest. “I planted more than this every day. And this is where your name comes from,” I told him. Together, with my 6-year-old son River, we walked deeper into the woods and s
23、potted a clearing. We emerged suddenly into the open space and I felt even more at home than in the forest Id planted. It was more familiar, this open space where I had once spent thousands and thousands of hours.24. What do we know about the author when he was in his mid-20s? A. He volunteered to p
24、lant trees in Northern Ontario. B. He planted several thousand trees every day for six years. C. Most of the trees he planted didnt survive a week. D. He planted over 500,000 trees within six years.25. How did the author feel at the sight of the trees he had planted? A. He felt fulfilled. B. He felt
25、 worried. C. He felt confused. D. He felt disappointed.26. What does the underlined word “clearing” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. a fallen tree B. an empty placeC. a cutting toolD. a clean cottage27. What could be the best title for the text? A. Memory of planting trees. B. Planting trees
26、with families. C. A reunion with my trees. D. Making for a greener future. C The rapid pace of global warming and its effects on habitats raise the question of whether species are able to keep up so that they remain in suitable living conditions. Some animals can move fast to adjust to a quickly cha
27、nging climate. Plants, being less mobile, rely on means such as seed dispersal (传播) by animals, wind or water to move to new areas, but this redistribution typically occurs within one kilometer of the original plant. Writing in Nature, Juan P. Gonzlez-Varo sheds light on the potential capacity of mi
28、gratory (迁徙的) birds to aid seed dispersal. Gonzlez-Varo and colleagues report how plants might be able to keep pace with rapid climate change through the help of migrating birds. They analyzed an impressive data set of 949 different seed-dispersal interactions between bird and plant communities, tog
29、ether with data on entire fruiting times and migratory patterns of birds across Europe. The authors assumed that the direction of seed migration depends on how the plants interact with migratory birds, the frequency of these interactions or the number of bird species that might transport seeds from
30、each plant species. Perhaps the most striking feature of these inferred seed movements is the observation that 35 percent of plant species across European communities, which are closely related on the phylogenetic tree (进化树谱), might benefit from long-distance dispersal by the northward journey of mi
31、gratory birds. This particular subset (小组) of plants tends to fruit over a long period of time, or has fruits that persist over the winter. This means that the ability of plants to keep up with climate change could be shaped by their evolutionary history implying that future plant communities in the
32、 Northern Hemisphere will probably come from plant species that are phylogenetically closely related and that have migrated from the south. This study provides a great example of how migratory birds might assist plant redistribution to new locations that would normally be difficult for them to reach
33、 on their own, and which might offer a suitable climate.28. How could plants keep pace with the rapid climate change according to Gonzlez-Varo? A. With the help of wind and water. B. With the help of migratory birds. C. By adjusting themselves to the climate. D. By relying on animals on land.29. How
34、 did Gonzlez-Varo and his colleagues conduct the research? A. By analyzing related data. B. By conducting field research. C. By interviewing experts. D. By reviewing findings of previous studies.30. What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. Most plant species benefit from long-distance dispersal. B. Th
35、e evolutionary history of different plants is similar. C. Plants with longer fruiting times adapt better when transported farther. D. Plant communities in different hemispheres will become less related phylogenetically.31. What could be the main idea for the text? A. Impacts of climate change on mig
36、ratory birds. B. Different ways to redistribute plants to new climates. C. Plants struggle to keep pace with climate change. D. Migratory birds aid the redistribution of plants to new climates. D If you were to rate the most walkable cities in the world, what would you look for? Would it be how shad
37、ed the sidewalks are? How many benches there are along the way to your destination? Or maybe how close you are to shops or local attractions? Well, the researchers at the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP), located in New York, US, wanted to know which of the worlds cities we
38、re the best for pedestrians. So, they did just that. To determine which cities were the most walkable, they rated cities based on factors such as how close citizens were to car-free areas like public parks, how close citizens lived in relation to schools and hospitals, and how short their journeys w
39、ere overall. According to the study, they found that the most walkable cities in the world are London, Paris, Bogota and Hong Kong. Overall, London was at the top of the list, outranking nearly 1,000 cities around the world on these key factors. “In order to provide safety and inviting walking condi
40、tions for all city residents, it is essential to shift the balance of space in our cities away from cars, providing more travel options for people,” CEO of ITDP Heather Thompson told the magazine Cities Today. She continued, “We have so much to gain from cleaner air to better health to stronger loca
41、l economies and deeper bonds within communities, and we all need that now more than ever.” Unfortunately, it seems that very few cities make pedestrians a priority, though. “Our city streets across the planet are already full of cars. If you really want to see the worst for walkability, it is the re
42、ally sprawling (杂乱无序伸展的) cities of the US,” commented Taylor Reich, a research associate at ITDP and the primary author of the guide to making cities more walkable. So, what can cities do to make their streets friendlier for pedestrians? “Theres no one secret sauce; theres no one thing you can do to
43、 make a city walkable,” Reich said. “Its many decisions that are made at all levels from individual streets all the way up to the city design.”32. Whats the purpose of the study? A. To explore factors impacting the walkability of cities. B. To investigate pedestrians satisfaction with city life. C.
44、To find out the most walkable cities around the world. D. To call on cities to make streets more walkable.33. On what basis do researchers measure a citys walkability? A. The amount of green space on sidewalks. B. Traffic and road conditions for pedestrians. C. The number of public services for pede
45、strians. D. Accessibility of certain destinations to pedestrians.34. What does Heather Thompson suggest to improve walking conditions? A. Increasing travel choices. B. Developing local economies. C. Limiting the number of cars. D. Connecting local communities.35. What does Taylor Reich point out? A.
46、 US cities are designed to give priority to pedestrians. B. It is everyones responsibility to make a city walkable. C. Cars are major contributors to reduced walkability. D. Both small- and large-scale measures are required to improve walkability.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
47、选项中两项为多余选项。 It is necessary for us to improve our problem-solving abilities. If you dont properly understand the problem, your solutions may be ineffective or fail entirely. 36 For example, is there one problem or actually several? Can you restate the problem in your own words? By spending time with
48、 the problem you will better understand it and be equipped to generate solutions. 37 Collect data, ask people or experts connected to the problem, look for resources online, in print, or elsewhere. Once you have data, organize it. Try to do this by rewording or summarizing it. Perhaps you could even
49、 map it out in a chart. You may not need to bother with this step for simple problems, but it will be essential for those of a more complex one. The first step in finding a solution is to look at data that you have gathered about the problem and to analyze its importance. 38 Start with the raw data.
50、 Sometimes, information will need to be broken into smaller, more manageable parts or to be ranked for its importance. 39 You might do this on a limited, trial scale at first to test the results. Or, you might go all in. Keep in mind that unpredictable problems which you did not plan can arise at th
51、is stage. Keep in mind that problem-solving works in a cycle. It will generate a number of different solutions that each should not be ignored. 40 If not, then you must look for another solution and start the process over again. So make small changes if necessary. A. If you fix the problem, you have
52、 found a suitable solution. B. Once you have chosen the best solution, put it into practice. C. You should focus on the problem and your problem-solving process. D. Gather as many acts as you can about the problem to get a clear picture of it. E. A hobby is another way that you can continue to impro
53、ve your problem solving skills. F. To define the problem clearly, you will have to ask questions and look at different angles. G. When analyzing, you will look for links and relationships for better understanding the overall situation.第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节, 满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分；满分30分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后
