二、阅读理解
After the fire, what now
Bishop Patrick Chauvet, Notre Dame’s manager, admitted that the famous building would close for “five to six years” as he spoke with local business owners Wednesday. He added that it was unclear what the church’s 67 employees would be doing in the future but he promised the building would revive after being restored. French President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday that he wanted the church rebuilt in five years.
﹡What are the new rules
While tourists can’t go inside the site itself, the area still may prove popular to those paying their respects. Visitors are welcome to write messages of support about both the main and local city halls.
The island that houses the church has been closed and the people there have been evacuated since the fire. Paris businessmen who depend on Notre Dame tourism are worried about the church’s future as well as their own.
﹡________
It’s known that spring is a busy time for tourists in Paris. The travel companies recommend people visit other places, like the Basilique Saint-Denis, the Sacre-Coeur and so on. Those who tend to observe church services during Holy Week are advised to go to Saint-Eustache.
﹡Looking ahead to rebuilding.
It seems rebuilding can begin, since firefighters put out the fire early Tuesday, more than 12 hours after nearly 400 firefighters had battled the flames that changed the city’s skyline. Two policemen and one firefighter were slightly injured, according to the Paris Fire Service.
A large campaign to raise money is already underway to rebuild the church. Up to Wednesday, donations had come to $1 billion.

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。2019年4月巴黎圣母院遭遇大火，文章讲述了此事带来的影响以及政府采取的相关措施。
106．细节理解题。根据第一段中“He added that it was unclear what the church’s 67 employees would be doing in the future but he promised the building would revive after being restored.(他补充说，目前还不清楚教堂的67名员工未来会做什么，但他承诺，这座建筑在修复后会恢复活力)”可知，从经理的话中我们可知这座建筑将来要重建。故选B。
107．主旨大意题。设空处为小标题；根据本段内容“It’s known that spring is a busy time for tourists in Paris. The travel companies recommend people visit other places, like the Basilique Saint-Denis, the Sacre-Coeur and so on. Those who tend to observe church services during Holy Week are advised to go to Saint-Eustache.(众所周知，春天是巴黎游客最繁忙的时候。旅游公司建议人们去其他地方，比如圣德尼大教堂、圣心大教堂等等。那些倾向于在圣周期间去教堂做礼拜的人建议去圣尤斯塔什)”可知，本部分主要讲大火之后，旅游公司向游客推荐了其他景点。B选项“旅游公司提供其他选择”能够概括本段主旨，最适合作为小标题。故选B。
108．推理判断题。根据最后一段“A large campaign to raise money is already underway to rebuild the church. Up to Wednesday, donations had come to $1 billion.(为重建教堂而进行的大规模筹款活动已经在进行中。截至周三，捐款已达10亿美元)”可知，大火之后更多的钱将捐赠给重建工程。故选D。
Drones are increasingly flying in our skies, capturing images, managing crops and soon, delivering packages. But what do the birds make of this invasion of their territory
With strict animal ethics approval, we flew drones towards flocks of birds in Queensland’s Moreton Bay. We found many species were not disturbed, provided the drone was small and flew above 60 m.
The exception was the critically endangered eastern curlews (杓鹬), which became alarmed and flew away — even when a tiny drone approached at the maximum legal altitude of 120 m. But when eastern curlews took flight, other nearby species were often startled, creating a domino effect that eventually caused the whole flock to take flight.
Drone disturbance can interrupt birds as they rest or feed. It can even cause them to avoid some locations altogether.If the birds are consistently interrupted or scared away from their preferred habitats, they may find it difficult to eat and rest enough to survive and reproduce.This is particularly concerning for species such as eastern curlews, which migrate thousands of kilometres to breed.
We studied a diverse group of birds typically found along coastlines, known as shorebirds. Heartbreakingly, their global population has plummeted as they continue to battle habitat destruction, sea level rise, disturbance and hunting.
The last few decades have been bleak for the eastern curlew, which is the world’s largest migratory shorebird. Research in 2011 indicated a population decline of 80% over three generations.
While drones are unlikely to have played a major role in shorebird decline so far, our results, combined with the increasing presence of drones along our coastline, indicate they could become yet another source of disturbance for these birds, many of which are already endangered.
Drones can be beneficial in many ways, but we must identify when and how drones can be used to minimise potential harm. In some locations, such as some Australian national parks, drone use is already prohibited or restricted.But managers need to understand how drones affect wildlife to inform these regulations.
109．What’s the problem with eastern curlews
A．They are being killed. B．They are being disturbed.
C．Their safety is being threatened. D．Their habitats are being damaged.
110．What do we learn about eastern curlews
A．They are able to fly above 120 meters. B．They can’t find a place to eat and rest.
C．They adapt to the environment quickly. D．They are sensitive to their surroundings.
111．What does the underlined word “plummeted” in Paragraph 5 mean
A．Reduced sharply. B．Increased rapidly.
C．Recovered slowly. D．Changed gradually.
112．What’s the author’s final conclusion about drones
A．They pose no threat to eastern curlews.
B．They should be forbidden near the shores.
C．They should be used under certain regulations.
D．They benefit eastern curlews in a number of ways.
【答案】109．B 110．D 111．A 112．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了无人机越来越多地飞行在天空中，这些无人机的出现会对海边的鸟类产生影响，因此相关管理部门应采取相应措施监管无人机的使用。
109．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The exception was the critically endangered eastern curlews (杓鹬), which became alarmed and flew away — even when a tiny drone approached at the maximum legal altitude of 120 m.(唯一例外的是极度濒危的东部杓鹬，它们惊慌失措地飞走了——即使一架小型无人机以法定最高飞行高度 120米)”可知，东部杓鹬的问题是它们经常被打扰而受到惊吓，从而飞离原来的栖息地，故选B。
110．推理判断题。根据第二段“With strict animal ethics approval, we flew drones towards flocks of birds in Queensland’s Moreton Bay. We found many species were not disturbed, provided the drone was small and flew above 60 m.(在严格的动物伦理审批下，我们用无人机飞向昆士兰州莫顿湾的鸟群。我们发现，只要无人机体型较小且飞行高度超过 60 米，许多物种就不会受到干扰)”和第三段中“The exception was the critically endangered eastern curlews (杓鹬), which became alarmed and flew away — even when a tiny drone approached at the maximum legal altitude of 120 m.(唯一例外的是极度濒危的东部杓鹬，它们惊慌失措地飞走了——即使一架小型无人机以法定最高飞行高度 120米)”可知，如果无人机飞行在60米以上，大部分鸟类不会受到无人机的干扰，但是东部杓鹬是个例外，即使一架小型无人机以法定最高飞行高度 120米，它们也会受到惊吓，由此可推知，东部杓鹬对周围环境很敏感。故选D。
111．词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子“Heartbreakingly, their global population has plummeted as they continue to battle habitat destruction, sea level rise, disturbance and hunting.(令人心碎的是，由于它们不断面临着栖息地破坏、海平面上升、干扰和狩猎等问题，全球种群数量plummeted。)”可知，东部杓鹬一直面临栖息地被破坏、海平面上升、干扰和狩猎等问题，由此可推知，它们的数量应该是一直在减少划线单词意为“减少”，故选A。
112．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Drones can be beneficial in many ways, but we must identify when and how drones can be used to minimise potential harm. In some locations, such as some Australian national parks, drone use is already prohibited or restricted.But managers need to understand how drones affect wildlife to inform these regulations.(无人机在许多方面都有好处，但我们必须确定何时以及如何使用无人机，以尽量减少潜在危害。在某些地方，例如澳大利亚的一些国家公园，无人机的使用已被禁止或限制。但管理人员需要了解无人机如何影响野生动物，以便制定这些法规)”可知，作者对无人机的最终结论是它们应该在某些规定下使用。故选C。
Hurricane Laura hit Louisiana on Thursday with strong winds and heavy rains. It’s the strongest hurricane to hit Louisiana in over 150 years, and has left behind widespread damage. Laura is now weaker, but is still causing damage as it moves on.
Hurricanes are strong storms with fast, spinning winds that form over oceans. In a hurricane, the winds spin in a circle toward the center, which is lower in pressure. As the hurricane moves across the sea, it collects water into huge spinning clouds. The water is released as rain as the hurricane hits land.
Experts have been tracking Laura since mid-August. It moved through the Caribbean as a tropical storm. Tropical storms are like hurricanes, but with slower winds. Still, the storm was strong enough to kill 25 people as it moved across Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
As it came closer to the coast of Louisiana on Wednesday, Laura gathered strength, becoming a Category 4 Hurricane — the second strongest possible. Over 500, 000 people along the coast were told they needed to leave their homes.
Hurricane Laura made landfall in Cameron, Louisiana early in the morning on Thursday. With winds blowing at 150 miles per hour (240 kilometers per hour), it was Louisiana’s strongest hurricane since 1856.
After hitting land, Laura moved slowly north, bringing heavy rains and flooding, and leaving a path of wrecked homes and buildings behind. All through the state, trees were knocked down, damaging houses and taking out power lines. For over nine hours, Laura’s winds remained at hurricane speeds. Almost no area of Louisiana escaped.
Weather experts had predicted a massive storm surge (风暴潮) up to 20 feet (6 meters) in height. Luckily, the storm surge was not as large as predicted, though it still reached heights of up to 10 feet (3 meters). Over 880,000 people were left without power, and up to 100, 000 people have been left without drinking water. At least four people have died.
113．What do we learn about hurricanes
A．They start under the sea. B．They come with lightning.
C．They can cause heavy rain. D．They come after heavy rain.
114．Compared with tropical storms, hurricanes 　　　　.
A．last longer B．are stronger
C．travel more slowly D．cause less damage
115．How does the author show the power of Hurricane Laura
A．By listing some numbers. B．By quoting some experts.
C．By giving some examples. D．By offering some theories.
116．What would be the best title for the passage
A．How Hurricanes Take Place B．How Hurricanes Are Formed
C．Hurricane Laura Does Great Harm D．Hurricane Laura Attacks Louisiana
【答案】113．C 114．B 115．A 116．D

After the fire, what now
Bishop Patrick Chauvet, Notre Dame’s manager, admitted that the famous building would close for “five to six years” as he spoke with local business owners Wednesday. He added that it was unclear what the church’s 67 employees would be doing in the future but he promised the building would revive after being restored. French President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday that he wanted the church rebuilt in five years.
﹡What are the new rules
While tourists can’t go inside the site itself, the area still may prove popular to those paying their respects. Visitors are welcome to write messages of support about both the main and local city halls.
The island that houses the church has been closed and the people there have been evacuated since the fire. Paris businessmen who depend on Notre Dame tourism are worried about the church’s future as well as their own.
﹡________
It’s known that spring is a busy time for tourists in Paris. The travel companies recommend people visit other places, like the Basilique Saint-Denis, the Sacre-Coeur and so on. Those who tend to observe church services during Holy Week are advised to go to Saint-Eustache.
﹡Looking ahead to rebuilding.
It seems rebuilding can begin, since firefighters put out the fire early Tuesday, more than 12 hours after nearly 400 firefighters had battled the flames that changed the city’s skyline. Two policemen and one firefighter were slightly injured, according to the Paris Fire Service.
A large campaign to raise money is already underway to rebuild the church. Up to Wednesday, donations had come to $1 billion.
106．What can we learn from what the manager said
A．The famous building will be closed forever.
B．The building will be rebuilt in the future.
C．The government will give the employees jobs.
D．The president will make a plan to rebuild the building.
107．Which of the following subtitles can be filled in the blank
A．Saint-Eustache is favored by tourists. B．Tour companies offer other choices.
C．Church culture develops fast in Paris. D．The best time to visit Paris is spring.
108．According to the passage, what will happen after the fire
A．The government will arrange work for 67 employees.
B．Visitors will be forbidden to leave messages anywhere.
C．Churches in Paris will also be examined and repaired.
D．More money will be donated for the rebuilding project.
Drones are increasingly flying in our skies, capturing images, managing crops and soon, delivering packages. But what do the birds make of this invasion of their territory
With strict animal ethics approval, we flew drones towards flocks of birds in Queensland’s Moreton Bay. We found many species were not disturbed, provided the drone was small and flew above 60 m.
The exception was the critically endangered eastern curlews (杓鹬), which became alarmed and flew away — even when a tiny drone approached at the maximum legal altitude of 120 m. But when eastern curlews took flight, other nearby species were often startled, creating a domino effect that eventually caused the whole flock to take flight.
Drone disturbance can interrupt birds as they rest or feed. It can even cause them to avoid some locations altogether.If the birds are consistently interrupted or scared away from their preferred habitats, they may find it difficult to eat and rest enough to survive and reproduce.This is particularly concerning for species such as eastern curlews, which migrate thousands of kilometres to breed.
We studied a diverse group of birds typically found along coastlines, known as shorebirds. Heartbreakingly, their global population has plummeted as they continue to battle habitat destruction, sea level rise, disturbance and hunting.
The last few decades have been bleak for the eastern curlew, which is the world’s largest migratory shorebird. Research in 2011 indicated a population decline of 80% over three generations.
While drones are unlikely to have played a major role in shorebird decline so far, our results, combined with the increasing presence of drones along our coastline, indicate they could become yet another source of disturbance for these birds, many of which are already endangered.
Drones can be beneficial in many ways, but we must identify when and how drones can be used to minimise potential harm. In some locations, such as some Australian national parks, drone use is already prohibited or restricted.But managers need to understand how drones affect wildlife to inform these regulations.
109．What’s the problem with eastern curlews

B．They should be forbidden near the shores.
C．They should be used under certain regulations.
D．They benefit eastern curlews in a number of ways.
Hurricane Laura hit Louisiana on Thursday with strong winds and heavy rains. It’s the strongest hurricane to hit Louisiana in over 150 years, and has left behind widespread damage. Laura is now weaker, but is still causing damage as it moves on.
Hurricanes are strong storms with fast, spinning winds that form over oceans. In a hurricane, the winds spin in a circle toward the center, which is lower in pressure. As the hurricane moves across the sea, it collects water into huge spinning clouds. The water is released as rain as the hurricane hits land.
Experts have been tracking Laura since mid-August. It moved through the Caribbean as a tropical storm. Tropical storms are like hurricanes, but with slower winds. Still, the storm was strong enough to kill 25 people as it moved across Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
As it came closer to the coast of Louisiana on Wednesday, Laura gathered strength, becoming a Category 4 Hurricane — the second strongest possible. Over 500, 000 people along the coast were told they needed to leave their homes.
Hurricane Laura made landfall in Cameron, Louisiana early in the morning on Thursday. With winds blowing at 150 miles per hour (240 kilometers per hour), it was Louisiana’s strongest hurricane since 1856.
After hitting land, Laura moved slowly north, bringing heavy rains and flooding, and leaving a path of wrecked homes and buildings behind. All through the state, trees were knocked down, damaging houses and taking out power lines. For over nine hours, Laura’s winds remained at hurricane speeds. Almost no area of Louisiana escaped.
Weather experts had predicted a massive storm surge (风暴潮) up to 20 feet (6 meters) in height. Luckily, the storm surge was not as large as predicted, though it still reached heights of up to 10 feet (3 meters). Over 880,000 people were left without power, and up to 100, 000 people have been left without drinking water. At least four people have died.
113．What do we learn about hurricanes
A．They start under the sea. B．They come with lightning.

115．How does the author show the power of Hurricane Laura
A．By listing some numbers. B．By quoting some experts.
C．By giving some examples. D．By offering some theories.

Fishing trips to Canada are a tradition for Jeffrey Hardy and his three friends from America. This summer in 2023, the forest air polluted with wildfire smoke forced the men to give up their mid-June fishing plan. Canada’s wildfire season put its tourism industry at a crucial (关键的) time.
Except some days of poor air quality, major Canadian cities remain unaffected by wildfires. The fires are in the country’s northern areas that have drawn travelers interested in outdoor experiences in years past.
In a recent report by Destination Canada, a marketing organization, half of the total spent by international visitors is in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. But other Canadian destinations attractive to visitors have been affected by the wildfires.
In preparation for increasing visitor sizes and ongoing wildfires, some businesses are thinking about changing their operations, which see outdoor recreation (娱乐) as a tourism opportunity. A nonprofit travel agency is considering creating a questionnaire (调查问卷) for customers to show when they would cancel a booking because of road closes from the wildfires, poor air quality and a lack of visibility.
Tourism in British Columbia contributes greatly to its economy. The province has various recreational offerings, from the major ski destinations to hiking along the coast. Blackcomb, a helicopter tour company, has canceled its sightseeing offerings, using most of its helicopters on the firefighting effort until at least early August. “It’s the question of flying our customers around on sightseeing tours or putting out fire s within 10 kilometers of our bases and the communities that we live in,” said Jordy Norris, the company’s tourism director. “We made it clear to both our staff and our customers that we have a duty to protect the backyard.”
Darrin Rigo, a photographer, recently saw a photo of a beautiful waterfall engulfed in fire on a media page. “I’m sure that’s not going to last long, and everything will turn to normal.” he said.
122．Which part of Canada is most affected by the wildfire
A．Canada’s central part. B．The northern areas.
C．Major Canadian cities. D．Places with few visitors.
123．What can be inferred about Jordy Norris
A．He is sad about his company’s loss from the fire.
B．He is confident about the use of the questionnaire.
C．He is glad to join in the fight against the wildfire.
D．He is stressed about the fire’s effect on his company.
124．Which of the following word can best replace the underlined word “offerings” in paragraph5
A．choices. B．gifts. C．givings. D．goods.
125．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Tourism Suffers Great Loss in the Wildfire
B．All of Canada Have Acted to Beat Wildfire
C．Most of Canada Is Affected by the Wildfire
D．Wildfire Won’t Stop Canada’s Tourism Development

As a child, my world means the comforting walls of our home and the warmth of my family’s love. Little did I know that one day, everything would change in the blink of an eye (转眼之间) .
It was a sunny morning in Morocco, a country known for its wonderful culture and great natural beauty. I was playing with my younger sister in our courtyard, laughter filling the air. Suddenly, the ground beneath us trembled violently (剧烈地震动) , and the world broke down before my eyes. The Morocco earthquake had struck.
The hours that followed were filled with fear and uncertainty. Our home, once a place of love and happiness, lay in ruins (废墟).

We searched tirelessly for survivors and held on to any sign of life.
Days turned into weeks, and we found ourselves living in a shelter (避难所) built by the community, surrounded by other families who had also experienced great losses. We shared stories of happy times, comforting one another through the darkest of nights. It was here that I learned the true meaning of the human spirit.
Though I had lost my home, I got a new understanding of the strength of life and kindness that appears in difficulties. Even in the face of unimaginable pain, we humans can still join hands and find hope once more. Today, I carry the memories of that earthquake with me, a testament (证明) to the greatness of the human heart.

Fires can strike unexpectedly, posing a great threat to our safety. As high school students, we must be prepared for such emergencies and know how to protect ourselves. Here are some crucial tips to help you stay safe in a fire.
●Be fully prepared.
Firstly, we should always be aware of the warning signs. 132 : However, don’t overlook signs that are not easy to notice, like a burning smell or flickering lights. If you notice any of these, act quickly and don't delay. Moreover, familiarize yourself with the escape routes. 133 . Regular fire drills (演习) can help you navigate these routes efficiently. Practice them seriously, as they can save your life in a real emergency.
● 134
In a fire, remember to stay low to the ground. Smoke rises, making the air near the floor cleaner. Crawl on your hands and knees, using a damp cloth to cover your mouth and nose. 135 Before opening any doors, feel them with the back of your hand. If a door feels hot, it may lead directly to the fire. Open it slowly and check for smoke or flames before proceeding. Remember, safety first, always.
●Call for help.
Once you’ve safely exited the building, call the emergency services immediately. Gather with your family or classmates at a predetermined safe location. Avoid using elevators and never go back inside the building. 136
In conclusion, knowing what to do in a fire emergency can make a difference between life and death.
A．Follow safety instructions
B．Prepare an escape plan in advance
C．Stay calm and wait for further notice
D．Run away as soon as you get out of your building
E．This will help you avoid breathing in harmful gases
F．Know at least two ways to exit each room and your entire building
G．The smell of smoke or sight of flames are immediate signs of danger
Here are some tips to help you increase the chances of surviving.
Make a home earthquake plan. Find a safe place in every room, such as a desk or a table, where you can find cover in an earthquake. For two-floor homes, get a proper-sized ladder to get out through a window if the stairs are damaged.
Decide where your family will re-meet if you are separated. Decide on an out-of-town relative for family members to get in touch with.
Attach things such as tall furniture and water heaters to the wall so that they will not be knocked over during an earthquake.
Prepare an emergency kit (成套工具) for your home and a car that has food, water, clothing, flashlights, a radio and a first aid kit in it.
Know what to do when an earthquake starts. Drop, cover and hold on. Only move a few steps to a safe place for cover and stay there until the shaking stops. If you are in a car, slow down and drive to somewhere away from trees and power lines. Stay in your car until the shaking stops.
Practice for the real thing to help keep a clear head when a real earthquake happens.
137．How many tips does the passage offer us
138．Why do we practice for the real thing in our daily life
For outdoor lovers, it is important to be prepared for any kind of natural disasters in the open air. That means having a disaster response plan. 139 . And it also should include what resources should be taken on your trip.
Different types of disasters are likely to occur in different areas. Desert areas are more likely to be affected by droughts; coastal regions are more likely to see hurricanes; avalanches may occur in mountainous areas in winter and landslides in summer. 140 . This can help you find the right survival ways in different conditions.
141 . Any disaster that may separate you from other people for a period of time will require you to provide your own food, water, and shelter for at least a few days. It’s also a good idea to bring light sources. For disasters that may wet your equipment, flameless light sources are a must. What you bring should be suited to the disaster you might face.
Once you complete your survival plan, it’s better to review it periodically. When a natural disaster strikes, you probably won’t have time to go over a document or go online to seek advice. 142 .
If a natural disaster strikes while you are in the wild, you should put your survival plan into effect immediately. First of all, stay calm, act decisively, and begin working to keep yourself alive. 143 . Do not wait around to see if the disaster is really that serious, do not panic, and do not easily abandon your plan.
A．Then contact others for help
B．It includes the types of disasters that may occur
C．Therefore, always do some research ahead of time
D．So, revising it frequently is strongly recommended
E．But you can turn to some experts for help in person
F．These disasters can lead to extremely serious consequences

Earthquakes happen when there is a sudden release (释放) of energy within the Earth’s crust, causing it to shake. This 164 (usual) happens because the large pieces of the Earth’s surface, called plates, move. Knowing about earthquakes is important because we can stay safe and prepare 165 them.
Scientists study earthquakes and use special tools 166 can detect (检测) and measure these shakes. Knowing the patterns (模式) 167 strength of the shakes, scientists can learn where and how strong the earthquakes are.
One important thing scientists look for is fault lines (断层线). These are cracks in the Earth where earthquakes are more likely 168 (happen). For example, the Sichuan Province in China has many earthquakes because it is near big fault lines. By 169 (study) these areas, scientists can understand more about earthquakes and how to reduce the damage they cause.
Education and being ready are also very important. 170 (school) and communities often practice what to do when an earthquake happens. This 171 (include) taking cover under strong furniture and holding on until the shaking stops.
