26、The heavy equipment on her back doesn't seem to weigh Emily Pepperman down as she climbs out of the sea and onto the boat. “I got a lionfish!” she shouts. Other divers gather around as she opens the bag she has been carrying and a reddish-brown and white striped fish comes out. With a gloved hand, Pepperman holds the fish by its mouth, careful not to touch the long poisonous spines on its back.

Lionfish are greedy eaters. After some made their way into Florida waters, they quickly began destroying the ecosystems in the sea around the state. So the lionfish hunt is on, Conservation organizations and the government are encouraging fishing for lionfish, like the contest Emily took part in, as well as eating their invaders.

“Lionfish are the perfect invader,” says Alex Fogg, an ecologist working for Florida’s Okaloosa County. They reproduce rapidly, and they are big eaters. Scientists have found nearly 100 different native fish in lionfish stomachs. And lionfish can cause a 65% reduction in native fish over just two years. Only humans are able to control lionfish. Larger fish have been spotted trying to eat lionfish, but they couldn't handle the spines. Even for humans, catching lionfish is tricky. They like to hang out under stones and in holes. In the whole plan of things, this isn’t going to remove all lionfish. But reducing their number could help save the native fish.

By encouraging people to eat lionfish, conservationists aim to reduce the invader population while creating a new source of income for fishermen. At first consumers were doubtful about eating these fish with poisonous spines. But the idea has caught on as conservation organizations and the state government have worked to clear up the doubt and teach how to remove spines. There's a large market at this point. Conservationists have considered eating other invasive species to reduce their numbers, too. But things like the Asian carp have been a harder sell. As the lionfish story becomes widely known, it might help open the door to building similar programs around other invaders—the tasty ones, at least.

The goal behind this approach might sound unreasonable to managers of fish farms. What if you're telling someone who's starting a new commercial fish farm that the goal is to reduce greatly their resource? In the case of lionfish, that goal has been accepted by fishermen, environmentalists, and the state government alike.

【1】What is paragraph I mainly about?

A．The introduction of lionfish.

B．People's interest in lionfish.

C．An example of lionfish hunts.

D．The popularity of diving for fish.

【2】Why are lionfish considered the perfect invader?

A．They present a threat to native fish.

B．They know how to hide from humans.

D．They're an important part of the food chain.

【3】What might eating lionfish lead to?

A．Consumption of other invaders.

B．Acceptance of poisonous alien fish

C．Development of commercial fish farms.

D．The popularity of diving for fish.

【4】What is the main purpose of the text?

A．To present a new way to deal with alien species.

B．To introduce ways to control the lionfish invasion.

C．To explain why lionfish aren’t welcomed in Florida.

D．To analyze the role of consumers in the case of lionfish.

29、When a group of college students started their flying disc business back in 2008 in China, few of them could imagine the then little-known sport would have such a big explosion in popularity across the country this summer.

During the first three months of 2022, searches for frisbee shoot up 17-fold on Xiaohongshu, as compared with the same period in the year before. The topic of frisbee has attracted more than 42.4 million views on the platform, reported China Daily.

The rule of frisbee is very easy to understand. The main goal of the players is to catch the frisbee in the end zone. The thrower is not allowed to move after throwing the frisbee out, while others without a frisbee in their hands can move as they want. “For example, when you hold the Frisbee, you cannot move but instead you pivot (绕轴转动) on one foot until the disc is released,” said Qu Xinchen, who started playing frisbee in April 2022. A team will then try to get the frisbee down and throw it to another teammate further down the field.

For those who want to compete, they can try the team disc sport called “ultimate Frisbee”, which encourages honesty and fair play, with no judges there to make a ruling. In another game called “frisbee golf’，players try to hit faraway targets with a disc. Just like in golf, the lowest number of throws wins.

“People now think it is cool to play frisbee.” Qu added to this feeling by saying “I usually burn 1,400 calories during a session, and I can see my friends more.”

On July 7, 2022, frisbee was officially accepted by regulatory (监管的) authorities and the first Chinese Frisbee League was announced by the General Administration of Sport of China.

But why has frisbee become so popular all of a sudden? Apart from the low cost of the sport, experts believe that one reason is that people of all ages can join the game since you only need a disc for equipment. What’s more, the non-contact nature of the sport suits the need for pandemic control.

【1】What is the main goal of frisbee players?

A．To throw the frisbee as far as they can.

B．To throw the disc into the end zone.

C．To keep the disc in the hands of their team.

D．To catch the frisbee in the end zone.

【2】What does Qu Xinchen like about frisbee?

A．It encourages fair play.

B．It enables him to stay fit and play with friends.

C．It is easy to play and doesn’t need a judge.

D．It has various forms of competitions.

【3】What makes frisbee meet the requirements of pandemic control?

A．It is suitable for people of all ages.

B．It involves the whole family.

C．It encourages no contact.

D．It gets people close to nature.

【4】Which of the following can be a good title of the essay?

A．Frisbee comes back globally

B．Frisbee goes viral in China

C．A non-contact way of having fun

D．A new way to keep fit

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When I was nine years old, we lived on a dead-end street in the countryside.

Of all the rules my mom made for me, the one that I must obey was never ever go near the empty house at the end of the street. This was a house the kids had renamed “old lady Coffet’s house”. I don’t know if that was even the lady’s real name.

Usually I spent most of my time with my best friends Jayne and Mindy. “Hey, let’s go to ‘old lady Coffet’s house’! We can walk around to see if any windows are broken and maybe slide in!” said Mindy one day. I answered first without hesitation, “No, I’m not allowed to go there. If I disobey the rule, my mom won’t take me to see the new Beatles movie on Saturday.” “Come on, she won’t even know! What about you, Jayne?” said Mindy. Jayne, always up for an adventure, responded with, “Sure! Count me in!” So that was it. I was disobeying my mom’s most serious rule.

We got on our bikes and within ten minutes we arrived. We stared at the broken steps without a railing leading up to a weather worn front door and a broken storm door hanging off on one side, with dead plants surrounding the steps. I knew that we all had the same feeling. Nervousness. I said, “I don’t think this is a good idea.” Mindy yelled, “Agreed!” as she was already turning her bike around.

“Wait,” I whispered. “I heard something.” Laying my bike down, I walked slowly following the sound over to the front of the garage. Surprisingly, there in the deep overgrown grass were two baby dogs. Seeing me reach my hands out, they both came over, licked my fingers and rolled on their backs. I called my friends to come over and said, “We have to bring these two guys home and show our parents. Otherwise, they will starve or get hurt by other animals.” “Maybe bears!” said Mindy.

注意：1. 续写一段文字；

2. 词数100左右；

3. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

So that was the plan—we would first bring the baby dogs home and show my parents.
