1．There are many scientific breakthroughs made by women in the Antarctic.Here are four landmarks in Antarctica and they're named for the female pioneers.
Jones Terrace（梯田）
The ice-free terrace in eastern Antarctica's Victoria Land bears Jones name.In 1969，geochemist Lois M.Jones led the first all-female research team from the US to work in Antarctica.Jones and her team studied chemical weathering（風(fēng)化作用）in the McMurdo Dry Valleys，an ice-free area of Antarctica.Through chemical analyses of rocks they had collected，Jones and her team discovered many geochemical characteristics of the valley's ice-covered lakes.
Mount Fineness
8，202-foot-high Mount Fineness，located on Antarctica's largest island-Alexander Island-is named for Ginny Fineness.She established and maintained 80-foot-tall radio towers in the Antarctic.In 1985，F(xiàn)ineness became the first female invited to join the Antarctic Club，a British supper club open to individuals who have spent extended time in the Antarctic region.Francis Peak
Francis Peak
The 3，727-foot-tall peak on Antarctica's Adelaide Island is named after Dame Jane Francis，who is the first female director of the British Antarctic Survey，the national polar research institute of the UK.Her collection of fossils on Seymour Island helped conclude in a 2021 paper that Antarctica's abundant plant fossils indicate the continent once had a much warmer climate than it currently does.
Peden Cliffs
Peden Cliffs near Antarctica's Marie Byrd Land are proof of the labor of Irene Peden.She was the first American female scientist to both live and work in the Antarctic，where she used radio waves to study ice sheets.Peden and her team determined how very low frequency radio waves spread over long polar distances by measuring pathways in the ice.They also used varying radio wave frequencies to measure the thickness of Antarctica's ice sheets.
（1）Which of the following is named after a builder of radio towers in the Antarctic？
A．Peden Cliffs.
B．Francis Peak.
C．Mount Fineness.
D．Jones Terrace.
（2）Who helped prove the previous higher temperatures of the Antarctica？
A．Irene Peden.
B．Dame Jane Francis.
C．Ginny Fineness.
D．Lois M.Jones.
（3）What was special about Irene Peden according to the text？

2．The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said，"I always do what I can't do so that I can learn how to do it."It strikes a chord（引起共鳴）with me because that's exactly what I've done these years.
One of my earliest memories of doing before learning is of baking scones（烤餅）when I was about 10 years old.I wanted to bake them to surprise my mother when she returned home.
Before that I'd observed how my mother baked them many times.As I started to try，I didn't know I shouldn't handle the dough（面團(tuán)）with my hands too much once I'd added the baking powder（發(fā)酵粉）.However，I knew exactly how to roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut the scones，because my mom had already taught me.
By the time my mom arrived home，the smell of freshly baked scones welcomed her into the kitchen.They were baked to golden brown perfection-flat，as a result of over handling the dough，but they tasted OK.My mom sweetly praised me for my attempt，rather than scolding me for the state of the kitchen，which was like a tornado had just blown!
Have my attempts always been successful？I wish!Some of my kitchen disasters were of such proportions that even the dogs wanted nothing to do with them.My gardening failures didn't live to see another season.
But my habit of doing before learning is still helpful.Whatever computer program or application I have to learn，I do so by simply starting to use it.I do，learn，and improve.So if you ask me whether I regret that I tend to do first and learn later，I'd say I don't，because what I have discovered from those is the wisdom to know when it's OK to do and then learn，and when it's probably better to learn and then do!
（1）What can we learn about the author's first experience of baking scones？
A．She practiced hard before actually trying.
B．She turned to her mom when necessary.
C．She wanted to perform better than her mom.
D．She managed to do it despite a little imperfection.
（2）How did Mom respond to the author's attempt？
A．She made improvements to the scones.
B．She expressed her appreciation for the job.
C．She shared her first experience of baking.
D．She was surprised by the mess in the kitchen.
（3）What does the author think of her practices of"doing before learning"？
A．They are just a barely usable method.
B．Most of them have ended up in failure.
C．They contribute a lot to her self-improvement.
D．They only apply to the learning of specific skills.
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the text？
A．To stress the importance of keeping learning.
B．To show the benefits of doing before learning.
C．To encourage people to do something they can't do.
D．To call on readers to change their way of learning.組卷：12引用：6難度：0.5 -
3．Scientists believe nature is good for our well-being.But what's the secret that brings about the benefit？A recent study by researcher Craig Anderson and his workmates suggests it could be awe（敬畏）-that sense of being in the presence of something greater than ourselves that fills us with wonder.
The first part of the study had some people go on a four-day river rafting（漂流）trip.They rowed through dangerous rapids in the forested areas in California.They also camped out in the wild.Before and after the trip，they reported on their well-being，including their stress levels and satisfaction with life.During the trip，they kept diaries about their sentiments，including whether they'd felt awe，peace，gratitude，joy，or pride that day.At the end of the trip，their well-being had increased greatly.After the trip，the researchers discovered awe-above other positive emotions—seemed to explain the improvement.
In the second part，Anderson studied whether awe played a role in more ordinary，everyday nature experiences.The answer is also yes.This is good news，says Anderson，because sometimes it's not that easy for people to have long wilderness trips."You don't have to do amazing experiences in nature to feel awe，" says Anderson."By taking a few minutes to enjoy flowers or a sunset，you also improve your well-being."
Anderson says that awe may benefit well-being by causing a"small self"-a sense that you will have when you're in the presence of something bigger than yourself，which may make worries and stresses less significant by comparison.
But he also says that there could be other ways that nature experiences improve our well-being，besides causing awe.For example，the related physical exercise in nature could have made a difference，too.Anyway，Anderson believes there's enough evidence to encourage us to add more nature to our daily life."People need to slow down and make space for that in their lives，"Anderson says.
（1）What did the study by Anderson and his workmates mainly find？
A．The benefits a trip has on people.
B．What interests travelers in nature.
C．The views people have about nature.
D．What makes being in nature beneficial.
（2）What does the underlined word"sentiments"in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Feelings.
B．Desires.
C．Discoveries.
D．Experiences.
（3）How does awe take effect according to the text？
A．By stressing the greatness of nature.
B．By helping people forget their worries.
C．By encouraging people to be lost in nature.
D．By making people's problems seem less serious.
（4）What does Anderson suggest people do？
A．Make time to do exercise.
B．Show respect to nature.
C．Get in touch with nature.
D．Make a comparison with others.組卷：4引用：2難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Our car ran over the sand and rocks，leaving a cloud of dust.It was a beautiful spring day.The sun was bright and the sky was clear-perfect conditions for off-roading（越野）.Back then，in 1984，my wife Sue and I were living in southeastern California.The views were wonderful，but with dangers.The temperatures could rise above 50℃，and it was no place for tourists to go off-roading without enough preparation.
Sue and I always took a bag with us，packed with snacks，water，and a first aid kit.We also had a car specially changed for driving in the desert.With it，we could go anywhere a jeep could go.
That day，we drove about 20 miles into the park.Around midday，we stopped to have a rest.As usual，we could see the desert before us.When the spirit of adventure moved us，we went back into the car.But when I turned the key nothing happened.I tried again and again.Nothing happened.I could see Sue was thinking the same thing-the engine wouldn't start.
Our car had one strange problem.About once a year，it would refuse to start.If left overnight，the engine would run just fine the next morning.But no one could find anything wrong with our car.Because it happened so rarely，we'd just learned to live with it.But it had never happened suddenly.
"What should we do？" I felt a little anxious.I hadn't seen a person on our drive out here，and we had no way to call for help."We could walk back to town，"Sue said.Eager not to waste any more daylight，we quickly packed our things.We were about to set off when Sue called my name."Look!" she cried.Sure enough，there was something，getting closer.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
（2）請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
It wasn't long before I could make out what it was—a jeep!

He checked the engine and said， "I know what's wrong."
