23、With green mountains and wide beaches — as well as ruins (废墟) from the days of the ancient Greeks and Romans — the island nation of Cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean offers a large number of eye-catching places to visit. Here are just a few.
Painted Churches in the Troodos Mountains
The Troodos Mountains, on the southern side of the island, are popular for walker and winter sports fans. But they’re also famous for a group of churches whose inside walls are covered with colorful paintings from as far back as the 11th century. From the outside, the buildings may not look very special, but step inside and almost every stone tells a story of the ancient past.
Ayia Napa
On the east coast, Ayia Napa is the island’s party capital — but that’s not all there is to do. In 2021, the Museum of Underwater Sculpture opened around 200 meters from the beach. Visitors must book with a local diving company in order to see the sculptures, of which there are more than 90. According to artist Jason deCaires Taylor, the idea of the museum is to make people think about the way that humans and nature live together.
Northern Cyprus
The Turkish-speaking northern part of the island — which has called itself an independent state since 1983 — is quieter than the south. But there is lots to see both in the back streets of Girne and Lefkosa — also known as Kyrenia and North Nicosia — as well as the ancient city of Salamis, with its 2,000-year-old outdoor theater.
【1】What are the Troodos Mountains known for?
A.Huge stones.
B.Strange buildings.
C.Ancient churches.
D.Dangerous sports.
【2】What makes the Museum of Underwater Sculpture so special?

C.Its size.
D.Its collection.
【3】Where is the text most probably taken from?

B.A science report.
C.A geography book.
D.A travel magazine.
24、David Lindenmayer of the Australian National University College of Science in Canberra says that older trees play important roles in maintaining landscapes and ecosystems.
David studies conservation, landscape, ecology and biodiversity at the Australian National University College of Science in Canberra. “Lots of people recognize that as humans get older they tend to have less and less children while trees do it the other way around. What really happens is that the older some of these really big old trees get, the more seeds they produce and the more germinant(萌芽的)they’re likely to be. So its actually the polar opposite of what we see with humans and most other animals, so really quite extraordinary. “On January 26th he spoke to Scientific American Editor in Chief Mariette DiChristina when they were both at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
In actually it’s quite a worrying situation, because in plenty of forests and woodland and other ecosystems around the world, populations of large old trees are declining very quickly. And this matters because a lot of biodiversity, a lot of carbon, a lot of key ecosystem processes are associated with those really big, old trees.
We can make sure we grow more forests, that we protect the big trees we have now, and that we don’t do things that really put a lot of pressure on those trees. We should not be cutting down really big old trees anymore.
【1】What does the underlined phrase mean in Para. 2?
A. similarly. B. variously.
C. equally. D. oppositely.
【2】What does David agree with according to this text?
A. Trees are the most important in balancing the ecosystems.
B. Humans can bear fewer children as they grow older like trees.
C. Older trees can produce more seeds to grow into new trees.
D. The number of old trees is increasing very rapidly.
【3】Why should older trees be protected according to the text?
A. Many key ecosystem processes are associated with big old trees.
B. At present populations of large old trees are declining very quickly.
C. It is forbidden by law that we should not cut down really big old trees.
D. More and more people are paying attention to protecting old trees.
【4】What is the purpose of the text?
A. To keep the environment. B. To protect the old trees.
C. To plant more trees. D. To preserve biodiversity.

26、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。
Back to the time when I was a clerk working in a 24-hour convenience store on the East Coast, people there were experiencing a heat wave. So the absolute thing you wouldn’t want to do was staying in a hot car! That’s what I thought when I saw a woman doing that. Going past the car, I noticed she was always lying, but not sleeping inside. The car was piled with her belongings, including a variety of paints and brushes, from the passenger side to the back seats.
I’d been aware of this car parked for a few weeks in the same space on this quiet lot just next to the convenience store where I worked. Maybe she was in trouble. Finally, one day I asked my partner to fill in for me. Then I stepped out of the store, went over to the car and got a close enough look to see the woman. I found that she was clear-headed in spite of a little pain in her face. This made me more anxious.
“Excuse me, I’m John. I work in the convenient store over there. I’m here to check out if you need any help,” I said.
“Pretty good. Thank you, gentleman. By the way, I’m Justine,” the woman replied with a sweet smile. Seeing that she was OK, I told her I had to go back to work and that I’d be there if she needed a hand.
The next day, after a little rush following the noon, there were no customers coming to buy groceries. With a bit of time, I invited Justine in to enjoy some cool air from the air conditioner. I gave her a cold drink, and then we sat down. “Thanks for your invitation. And I know you have many questions about me. John, go ahead,” she said calmly. She dressed with artistic taste and behaved gracefully. Naturally, I did have much doubt in my head about her situation. When asked why she kept staying in the car, she stopped for a while and said, “Because my precious works are in it.” She added, “What I did was all for my next art exhibition.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then she told me that she was an artist.
