Sunsets are among the most beautiful in the world and the island is a paradise (天堂)！” My friend Laura raved about her trip in Santorini last year.With her encouraging words, I bought our tickets to Athens, Santorini and Crete.

A sunny Saturday afternoon welcomed us in Athens.During the first few days, Kathleen and I tried a lot of unknown­to­us foods.And then came Tuesday.The moment we landed in Santorini, a big storm broke.Santorini, normally a beautiful and popular tourist destination (目的地), was freezing, rainy and empty.With rain beating our faces, Kathleen and I headed for our hotel.

“This isn't how I want to spend my vacation, Mom，” Kathleen said sadly.“Maybe Crete isn't experiencing the same storm.Can we fly out later today？” My daughter thought up a clever idea.But we couldn't leave.We'd just arrived.Payments for the hotel would be lost and the last­minute air tickets would be expensive.“Let's not decide right now，” I suggested.

During the next few days, we drove around though it rained hard.On the night at a restaurant named Poseidon, we waited and waited for dinner.“Your dinner will be out shortly.The cook is busy studying something beautiful，” a man who looked like a waiter said.When he saw our puzzled look, he explained, “He went out for a smoke, saw two beautiful ladies and began to chat ...”We suddenly started laughing.

27、The largest land animal remaining on the earth, the African elephant is of much importance to African ecosystem. Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a giant plant-eater, it significantly shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore deciding the conditions of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.

It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it both a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and under-bushes, as well as pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in not only deep tropical forests but also the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth, which attract a variety of other plant-eaters.

Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants create open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large-hoofed plant-eat-ers to move around and for small-sized plant-eaters to obtain their food as well.

Scientists are worried now that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant dies out, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.

【1】 It can be inferred from the passage that the African elephant .

A. is now the largest animal on the earth

B. determines life and death of millions of other animals in its habitat

C. has far-reaching impact on its habitat as a giant animal-eater

D. makes great contributions to its environment like other animals

【2】The African elephant influences the ecosystem in the following ways except that   .

A. it creates open areas in deep tropical forests as well as woodlands

B. it pulls off the branches and leaves, shutting out the sunshine

C. its eating habit can be made use of by large-hoofed and small-sized animals

D. it encourages some kinds of plants growing in an indirect way

【3】According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A. Numerous grown plants are the favorites of plant-eaters.

B. The extinction of the African elephant has nothing to do with the ecosystem.

C. Quantities of plants are consumed by African elephants, including branches and under-bushes.

D. The forest floor in rain forests is scarcely dotted with new shoots.

【4】The passage is developed mainly by   .

A. presenting the changes in time order

B. making comparisons and giving examples

C. classifying similarities and differences

D. showing the effect and then explaining the reasons

28、   A star basketball player at the middle school where I work recently stopped by my office. After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she suffered severely by self-criticism

This student, like many I teach, strongly believes she should be able to control the outcomes of her life by virtue of her hard work. In her mind, "Nothing can stop me but myself." So when these students fell short of what they imagine they should accomplish, they are filled with self-blame, reasoning, If my accomplishments are mine to control, my failures must be entirely my fault, too," which makes it extremely difficult for them to move on.

We often attribute young adults’ struggling with failure to their parents' overprotection. But there is another factor at play: a message transmitted by indulgent (纵容的) parents who have falsely promised them that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it. However, the cruel reality of life is that you can exhaust all the possibilities in your power — and still fail. Then what should be done to help?

Psychologists Luthar and Kumar urge parents and teachers to spend time helping students find purposes, or goals they genuinely love to pursue and that make an profound impact on the world, which may help them gain greater life satisfaction and become more psychologically mature. Besides, instead of allowing, our kids to beat themselves up when things don't go their way, we might all question a culture where one is considered lazy without full devotion. The point is to remind them that life has a way of sucker punching us when we least expect it. It's often the people who learn to say "stuff happens" that get up the fastest.

【1】The author believes that young adults find it hard to struggle with failure because__________.

A．they are not taught how to deal with difficulties

B．they are short of the ability to handle failure

C．they are under overprotection of their parents

D．they are misled by their parents' false message

【2】What did psychologists Luthar and Kumar urge parents and teachers to do?

A．To teach students how to avoid faults.

B．To lead students to set their truly loved goals.

C．To help students to discover a path to success.

D．To allow kids to blame themselves.

【3】According to the article, which case may be described as a “sucker punching” ?

A．A thrilling adventure.

B．An exam failure.

C．An unexpected promotion.

D．A genuine friendship.

【4】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Students without full devotion are lazy.

B．Students are sure to succeed if they try their best.

C．Students overprotected can bear all the failures on their own.

D．Students with positive attitudes can move on more easily.

31、Directions：Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Cure isn’t a word normally used in the 【1】 of AIDS. For most of the 35 years since HIV, the virus responsible for the disease, was first identified, doctors have viewed the notion of a cure as more 【2】 than fact.

That’s because HIV is a virus unlike any other. It disables the very immune cells that are 【3】 to destroy it, carrying out the ultimate deadly ambush（埋伏）whenever the guard of immune 【4】 comes down, months or sometimes even years later.

Yet for the first time in the HIV epidemic that 【5】 affects nearly 37 million people worldwide, some experts are starting to aim for a cure cautiously. The National Institutes of Health（NIH）is funding HIV cure efforts and advocacy groups like amfAR are also 【6】 resources into not just treating HIV, but also finding ways to eliminate it completely.

“Absolutely HIV can be cured,”says Rowena Johnston, vice president and director of research for amfAR.“The question is how.”

Doctors today have no trouble keeping HIV under control in people who are infected, thanks to antiretroviral（ARV）drugs, which stop the virus from replicating（复制）. If it is not making more copies of itself. HIV cannot spread to infect new cells. That can 【7】 into healthier, longer lives for people who are HIV-positive.

Powerful as the current drug treatments are, they can’t actually 【8】 the body of infected cells. For self-preservation, some HIV lies latent（潜伏性的）inside certain immune cells. These are the viruses that come coaring back when people stop taking their medications.

But the latest report this month revealed the strongest evidence that these latent viruses can be activated and eliminated, at least in animals. Dr. Dan Barouch and his colleagues showed that a drug that stimulates the immune system, 【9】 with a powerful antibody, prevented HIV from roaring back in five of 11 animals, six months after they stopped taking ARVs.“I think our data raises the 【10】 that an intervention achieving a functional cure is possible,”says Barouch.

32、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。

As a child, when my family took a vacation, we wrote postcards from the Great Smoky Mountains or the Lincoln Memorial to show our friends the new places we had explored. I considered postcards as simply a way to share travels until I came across my grandmother's postcard album.

My three cousins and I unearthed the dark gray leather album with black paper pages. Some of the postcard designs showed pine branches with red bows and announced Merry Christmas, and numerous hearts decorated other cards proclaiming (宣告) Happy Valentine's Day. But most of the postcards had pictures of flowers or birds or had scenes that did not reflect a holiday or a travel destination.

My cousins and I slipped them from the album. The postmarks on the back were from Chicago, where my grandmother had grown up. She later settled in Michigan. Instead of telling about a holiday in Maine, the notes-written in flowing penmanship-were invitations to come to a dinner party or go for a walk the next day. “Why do these postcards ask you to come to tea?” I asked my grandmother.

“Because this is how we communicated before we had a telephone,” she said. “I would send a postcard in the morning mail, and a friend would receive it that afternoon. Then she’d post a reply that arrived in my mail the next morning. ”

“You got mail twice a day？”I said.

“Yes. Remember, we had no phone.”

My cousins and I stared at each other. Connecting by postcards seemed as strange as using a carrier pigeon(信鸽).

I had forgotten about my grandmother's postcards until lockdowns (封城) restricted our trips to see our three granddaughters who live several hours away. While I sent them texts, such messages seemed unreal to me. I wanted to give them something tactile (触觉的) to remind them of my love during the lockdowns.

Remembering my grandmother's postcard album, I bought several sets of cards featuring fun facts about animals and American history. Every few weeks, I’d write notes and mail them. The girls occasionally responded with brief thank-you texts.

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 one day I opened my mailbox and found three hand-addressed envelopes.

I’ll treasure these letters showing the girls’ states of mind and continue to write to them.
