　　Johnny and his whole family live within a few blocks of one another.They kept in touch with Karen as the storm continued violently outside， watching the water rising dangerously all around them.When Karen reported that the water in her house had reached her bottom， Johnny knew he had to take action.
　　First， Johnny ensured his sons and their pets were taken care of.Then， he jumped out of a window and began to swim.Johnny used to work as a rescue swimmer.He is obviously a strong swimmer， but the flood water was filled with dangerous materials.There was also a strong current， and he had to swim against it for most of his trip to Karen’s.As he made his way through the water， Johnny stopped periodically to snap selfies （拍自拍） to show his worried family that he was okay.
　　Johnny was racing against the clock.He knew he only had a short period of time to get there before the water rose above Karen’s head.It took him 40 minutes to swim four blocks.The sound of Karen’s shouting inside was music to his ears！
　　“If it would’ve been 20 minutes later， she wouldn’t be here，” Johnny said.“She’s never been happier to see me.”

　　Great efforts have been made to close the gender （性別） pay gap.But not all fields of work are created equal.
　　Alexandra Light， who has been doing ballet since she was two years old， says even the dance world is dominated （主宰） by men at the top.“A lot of people on the outside of the dance world still don’t realize，” she said， “in the industry， it’s still very much a boys’ game.”
　　Tracey Rockett， who teaches management practice at Texas Christian University， says she can point to any number of studies that show the wide gulf （鴻溝） between women and management.That gulf persists even in fields dominated by women.
　　“In public schools， for example， men are in the minority， but to keep them， very often， they will be offered promotion opportunities much earlier than women are，” Rockett said.“You see that in the restaurant industry， in education， in healthcare， and in dance.”
　　According to the Dance Data Project， among the largest 150 ballet companies in America， only a quarter of works produced last year were choreographed （編舞） by women.
　　Light is a lead dancer.She knows the difficulties in reaching the position where she is now.“You know， there’s a choreographic workshop， and you don’t sign up for that because you’re like， ‘Well， I need to， I need to dance，’” Light said.
　　During the pandemic， women quit the workforce in larger numbers.They reported larger rates of burnout while taking on the extra burden of childcare.At companies where women often take the lead on efforts of diversity and equity， they typically don’t get additional pay.
　　But Rockett sees hope in Light’s generation， Gen Z （used to describe Americans born during the late 1990s and early 2000s）.“That is one thing we are seeing in particular with Gen Z.They will leave without a backup job.If they’re dissatisfied， they’re going to take off，” Rockett said.
28.What does Light reveal about the dance world in Paragraph 2？（　　）
A.There are many boys dancing. B.Men take up senior positions.
C.Many girls give up dancing in the end. D.Women are not necessarily good dancers.
29.What does the underlined word “persists” in Paragraph 3 mean？（　　）
A.Varies. B.Revives.
C.Balances. D.Continues.
30.What feeling does Light express in Paragraph 6？（　　）
A.Confusion. B.Relief.
C.Helplessness. D.Eagerness.
31.What does Rockett see in Gen Z？（　?。?br/>A.They are unwilling to do just one job. B.They are brave to say no to unfairness.
C.They always do what they have planned. D.They choose to ignore the gender pay gap.

　　Every day at sunrise on the small French Polynesian island of Rimatara， Tiraha Mooroa goes for a run with Koha， the dog.Koha has an important job： to sniff out （嗅出） and kill any black rats he can find.Koha is the island’s only defense against the invasive rats.Keeping the island rat-free is vital： the rats， which arrive via boats and cargo ships （貨船）， are the single biggest threat to native birds of the Pacific Islands， including the Rimatara lorikeet.The beautiful bird is critically endangered — only 1，500 remain in the wild， and a third of the entire population lives on tiny Rimatara island.Now， of the 118 islands in French Polynesia， Rimatara is one of only three without the rats.
　　The lorikeet was once widespread in the South Pacific.By the 18th century， however， it had already been hunted to near extinction by the Polynesians， who prized the bird’s red feathers for making headdresses.By 1900， the island’s queen， Temaeva V， banned hunting of the birds， effectively preserving the remaining population.Since the 1990s， however， the lorikeets have faced rising threats.
　　Socio-environmental researcher Samuel Ravatua-Smith heads up a nest observation program， launched by the conservation association Rima Ura， to better understand the lorikeet and its population decline.The program monitors all lorikeet nests on the island with Bluetooth-enabled cameras.Ravatua-Smith’s face falls as he watches the footage （鏡頭）.“The videos confirm that after the visit of a white-tailed tropicbird， the two hatchlings are no longer in the nest.The while-tailed tropicbird may be targeting and taking over lorikeet nests because of its own habitat loss，” Ravatua-Smith says.
　　It’s an important finding that brings Rima Ura another step closer to saving the lorikeet.This year， close to 100 new houses are set to be built to provide housing for residents in need.The clearing and construction may end up encompassing （涉及） more than half of the island.Rima Ura works to educate residents of Rimatara about how they can help protect the lorikeet， for instance encouraging locals to plant more fruit trees around their houses.Members of Rima Ura who live on the island also mark nesting trees and participate in reforestation initiatives.
32.What can we infer from Paragraph 1？（　?。?br/>A.Koha’s efforts have worked.
B.Mooroa works on a cargo ship.
C.More dogs are needed on Rimatara island.
D.The Rimatara lorikeet’s threats are under control.
33.What was the main reason for the decline of the lorikeet’s number during the 18th century？（　?。?br/>A.Invasion of black rats.
B.Habitat destruction.
C.Food competition.
D.Human hunting.
34.What does Ravatua-Smith discover？（　?。?br/>A.The survival rate of the lorikeet’s newborns is increasing.
B.The lorikeet’s newborns are tended by other birds.
C.The lorikeets lose their habitat to other birds.
D.The lorikeets often stay in their nests.
35.Which measure is adopted by Rima Ura to save the Rimatara lorikeet？（　?。?br/>A.Limiting the number of tourists on the island.
B.Building man-made nests for the birds on the island.
C.Calling on people to stop building houses on the island.
D.Uniting residents on the island to plant lorikeet-friendly trees.

　　“Goodbye， Mom.” I stood outside the kitchen door， firmly holding onto my suitcase.I wore my worn-out red windbreaker （風衣） and a gray ski cap， looking the part.“Goodbye， Mom，” I repeated twice more， pushing open the door with my foot one final time， to make sure she’d heard.
　　At last， Mom emerged， wiping her hands on a dish towel.She gave me the once-over.I lifted the suitcase a little just to make sure she didn’t miss it.“I’m leaving，” I said.
　　“Did you pack a lunch？” Mom’s question knocked me off balance.Where were the tears？The pleas （懇求）？ “I said I’m leaving，” I said.“I’m running away.For ...ever.” I uttered the feared word slowly， and convinced it would weaken her determination.Instead， she smiled.
　　“Well， would you like me to fix you something？ A sandwich？ Bag of chips？ I just made chocolate chip cookies.”
　　“I’m really going，” I said.
　　“I can see that.”
　　“Maybe a cookie.”And then， “All right， I’m off.”
　　The misty rain lent drama to my journey.As I stepped onto the front walk， fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies in my coat pocket， I looked back at our big yellow house.I stared at the front door， waiting for it to open.I observed the curtains in the living room window， but there was no sign of any motion， not even a slight movement.

W：A group of 17-year-old schoolboys decided to break the world basketball marathon record. They wanted to play for 90 hours and add 6 hours to the record. Each team had 9 players， with 5 at a time. The boys decided each person would play 21.5 hours and then rest for 2 hours. Then they started at 6 o’clock in the evening.
The first night was very hard for the players. When it was their turn to rest， they were too excited to fall asleep at once. After sleeping for a short time， they had to play again. On the second night， they fell asleep as soon as they stopped. Some of them had trouble with their feet and hands， but the only serious problem was the mental one. Each boy was thinking： Why am I doing this？ How can I play any longer？ After the third night， the players knew they could finish the 90 hours. The basketball on the fourth night was very slow. But in the final hours， the players got better. For the last few minutes， the players looked as fresh as when they started.
第二部分
語篇解讀：本文是一篇應用文。文章介紹了一個牽線木偶表演的服務項目。
21.D　細節理解題。根據Two-Man Show （$650）和Notes部分中Distances over 25 miles from our Highland Park location at 4949 York Blvd will incur （帶來） an additional travel fee of $50 flat.可知，預訂地點距離BBMT的位置超過25英里的需要統一額外支付50美元的路費。故一共需要支付700美元。
22.B　細節理解題。根據倒數第三段中We’ll bring the speaker system； we just ask for a power outlet （電源插座）.可知，人們需要準備一個電源插座。
23.C　細節理解題。根據倒數第二段中For Birthday Celebrations， our marionettes will bring a gift to celebrate the birthday person可知，在生日慶?；顒又?，木偶會給過生日的人帶來一份禮物。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。颶風來襲時，一位男士及時地解救了他的母親。
24.C　細節理解題。根據第一段首句中Karen Lauder refused to leave her home because she was wrong about the intensity （強度） of the storm和最后一句可知，盡管Karen的兒子多次勸她，但是她認為颶風的強度沒那么大，所以拒絕離開她的房子。
25.D　細節理解題。根據第三段最后一句可知，Johnny在游泳去救母親的途中不時停下來自拍，是為了向擔心他的家人表明他沒事，即向家人報平安。
26.B　推理判斷題。根據第四段內容，并結合第二段最后一句和第五段中Johnny所說的話可知，Johnny去救母親時無法確定她當時的安危，因此當他聽到母親的叫喊聲時，感覺就像聽到了音樂聲，即感到寬慰，因為那表示她還活著。
27.D　標題歸納題。通讀全文可知，本文主要講述了颶風來襲時，一位男士及時地解救了他的母親的故事。因此，D項最適合作本文標題。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。一些在傳統上由女性主導的領域，實質上還是由男性主宰。
28.B　細節理解題。根據第二段中Light 所說的even the dance world is dominated （主宰）by men at the top和in the industry， it’s still very much a boys’ game可知，Light 認為，舞蹈領域的主宰者是男性。
29.D　詞義猜測題。根據第四段Rockett所說的話可知，在公立學校、餐飲業、教育、醫療保健、舞蹈等領域，男性被提拔為上層管理者的機會更多。由此推斷，Rockett說女性要想成為管理者需要跨過巨大的鴻溝，即使是在女性主導的領域里，這一鴻溝依然存在。
30.C　推理判斷題。根據第六段中Light所說there’s a choreographic workshop， and you don’t sign up for that because you’re like， “Well， I need to， I need to dance，”可知，Light沒報名參加舞蹈工作坊，因為她需要跳舞，以保住她領舞的位置，她的話中滿是無奈。
31.B　推理判斷題。倒數第二段提到了在一些公司里，女性在多元化和公平方面發揮著領導作用，但她們通常不會獲得額外的薪酬。根據最后一段中Rockett所說They will leave without a backup job.If they’re dissatisfied， they’re going to take off可知，Rockett從Z世代人身上看到了他們敢向不公平待遇說“不”的勇氣。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文?？资衔埯W鵡瀕臨滅絕，里馬塔拉島上的人為保護該物種作出了努力。
32.A　推理判斷題。根據第一段前三句和最后一句可知，負責清理外來老鼠的Koha的工作有了成效。
33.D　細節理解題。根據第二段中的The lorikeet was once widespread in the South Pacific.By the 18th century， however， it had already been hunted to near extinction by the Polynesians可知，十八世紀時，由于人們的捕獵導致孔氏吸蜜鸚鵡的數量大量減少。
34.C　推理判斷題。根據第三段中Samuel Ravatua-Smith heads up a nest observation program ...to better understand the lorikeet and its population decline ...“The videos confirm that ...The white-tailed tropicbird may be targeting and taking over lorikeet nests because of its own habitat loss，”可知，Ravatua-Smith發現孔氏吸蜜鸚鵡的巢穴被其他鳥類侵占。
35.D　細節理解題。根據最后一段中的Rima Ura works to educate residents of Rimatara about how they can help protect the lorikeet， for instance encouraging locals to plant more fruit trees around their houses.可知，Rima Ura組織當地島民種植對孔氏吸蜜鸚鵡有益的樹來保護它們。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了小組學習的具體實施辦法及相應的益處。
36.G　設空處承接上一句。上一句講了“大學生可以從同齡人那里學到與從老師和書本那里同樣多或更多的東西”，G項進一步說明了向同齡人學習的好處，其中的a supportive group與下一句中的a study group相呼應；improving academic achievement 與下文中的academic progress and success相呼應。
37.B　設空處為段落小標題，概括本段主旨。本段主要講了通過和小組成員比較和討論針對閱讀材料的批注來加深對閱讀材料的理解并為考試做準備。因此，B項符合語境。
38.F　設空處承接上一句。文章按照組隊學習的幾點建議以及其益處行文，設空處前一句講了和小組成員分享課堂筆記，因此設空處和該學習方法的益處有關。F項中的something you missed指notes中漏掉的知識。
39.E　設空處位于段首，引出本段話題。設空處所在段講了“組建圖書館研究小組及其益處”。E項中的library research是解題關鍵。
40.C　設空處承接上一句，與下一句為并列關系。上一句講了“和小組成員一起見導師是有效的學習策略，這是有原因的”，接下來設空處和后一句一起給出具體原因。C項中的This指代前一句中的Having your team visit the instructor ...preparing for exams。
第三部分
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。一只不適合當服務犬的狗找到了新工作——助燃劑探測犬。
41.B　根據下文內容可知，這只名叫Sheldon的狗很特別，他靈敏的嗅覺雖然讓他無法成為一只服務犬，卻令它在消防隊找到了適合自己的工作。
42.D　根據空前的took part in a program 和下段首句中的made him a failure as a service dog 可知，Sheldon參加了一個成為服務犬的項目。
43.C　根據句首的Unluckily以及下句Whenever he ...the source.和下段首句中made him a failure as a service dog可知，Sheldon容易被氣味吸引的特性令它無法達到服務犬的標準。make the grade達到要求的或預期的標準，成功。
44.C　根據空后的Sheldon’s concentration flew out of the window、the source和下文中的his sensitive nose可知，每當Sheldon聞到令它感到好奇的味道時，它的注意力就會不集中，它只想去尋找氣味的來源。
45.A　參見上題解析。
46.B　根據空后的Sheldon was sent to the State Farm Arson Dog Program和下段中Sheldon went on to become the department’s best accelerant detection dog可知，雖然Sheldon不適合當服務犬，但卻是另一份狗狗工作（助燃劑探測犬）的完美犬選；被送到州立農場縱火犬項目后，它靈敏的鼻子很快使它在探測非法縱火助燃劑方面名列前茅。
47.D　參見上題解析。at the top of the class 出類拔萃，居首位。
48.B　根據下段首句中的his partner Tadlock可知，Sheldon和John Tadlock是搭檔。
49.A　根據上段中的Sheldon was sent to the State Farm Arson Dog Program可知，Sheldon被送到州立農場縱火犬項目接受訓練；結合空后的Sheldon went on to become the department’s best accelerant detection dog可知，從該項目畢業后，Sheldon成了該消防隊最棒的助燃劑探測犬。
50.C　根據句中的to look into some cars that had been 　51　 under suspicious （可疑的） circumstances可知，此處介紹的是Sheldon參與的第一個案子。
51.D　根據下句中的how the fire got started 可知，這些車被燒毀了。
52.A　根據空前的no one had been able to figure out how the fire got started—but以及下文中的It took him about 30 seconds to give me an alert （警報）和Sheldon found the evidence可知，Sheldon對起火的原因并不感到困惑。
53.B　根據空后的It took him about 30 seconds to give me an alert （警報）可知，Tadlock說他讓Sheldon去工作，即探測助燃劑，而Sheldon只花了大概30秒就給了Tadlock一個警報。由此推斷，Sheldon輕而易舉地就找到了（導致車被燒毀的）物證。
54.C　參見上題解析。
55.A　根據上半句For a dog with a super sense of smell可知，對于嗅覺超級靈敏的狗來說，不管你是在跟蹤壞人還是在找工作，跟著鼻子走（做你認為對的事）總是最好的。作者在此處用follow your nose 一語雙關。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇新聞報道。短劇《逃出大英博物館》掀起號召文物返還的熱潮。
56.to be returned　考查非謂語動詞?！癴or＋n./pron.＋動詞不定式”是固定搭配。return和treasures之間是邏輯上的動賓關系，且動作發生在將來，故用動詞不定式的被動語態to be returned。
57.taking　考查非謂語動詞。coming和taking并列作后置定語，修飾teapot。
58.addition　考查詞形轉換。設空處作表語，其前由a recent修飾，故填名詞形式addition。
59.who/that　考查關系代詞。設空處引導限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞artist，且在從句中作主語。故填who/that。
60.to　考查介詞。unique to sb/sth表示“某人、某地或某物獨具的、特有的”。
61.released　考查非謂語動詞。設空處作狀語，the series和release之間是邏輯上的動賓關系，且動作已發生。故填released。

64.pleased　考查詞形轉換。設空處作表語，且根據主語We可知，此處表示“高興的”。故填pleased。
65.and　考查連詞。history和tradition之間是并列關系，共同作about的賓語。故填and。
第四部分
第一節
　　Good morning， everyone！ Today I’m going to introduce some tips to protect ourselves in case of fire.
　　The first thing is to keep calm.Find out what’s going on and cut off the power if possible.If the fire is out of control， get a wet towel or cloth to cover your mouth and nose， which can protect yourself against the thick smoke.Remember to stay low to the ground when running away from the fire.Last but not least， call 119 for help as soon as possible.
　　To prevent fires， please pay more attention to fire safety， especially in autumn and winter.
　　Thanks for listening.
第二節
　　And so I had no choice but to continue.I got to the sidewalk and made my way along the street.I paused at a street corner and looked back at our house.I was uncertain about what lay ahead.I took a bite of the cookie， and decided that my mother deserved one last chance to convince me otherwise.I turned around and casually strolled back towards the house.Nothing.Not even a flicker of a curtain.My mother didn’t care if I ran away.Had she ever loved me at all？
　　A moment later， I was back in our home.“Lucy？” My mother’s voice came softly from the darkened living room.She was on the couch， sitting in a way I’d never seen her sit before.She perched on a pillow， positioned just right for a view through a large window.“I’m happy you’re home，” she said.She’d been crying.She managed a smile when I stepped over to her， and my anger and disappointment faded away.I knew she loved me.My mother loved me enough to let me find my own way back home.

W：A group of 17-year-old schoolboys decided to break the world
basketball marathon record. They wanted to play for 90 hours and add 6
hours to the record. Each team had 9 players， with 5 at a time. The boys
decided each person would play 21.5 hours and then rest for 2 hours.
Then they started at 6 o’clock in the evening.
The first night was very hard for the players. When it was their turn to
rest， they were too excited to fall asleep at once. After sleeping for a
short time， they had to play again. On the second night， they fell asleep
as soon as they stopped. Some of them had trouble with their feet and
hands， but the only serious problem was the mental one. Each boy was
thinking： Why am I doing this？ How can I play any longer？ After the
third night， the players knew they could finish the 90 hours. The
basketball on the fourth night was very slow. But in the final hours， the
players got better. For the last few minutes， the players looked as fresh
as when they started.

　　When Hurricane Ian hit Florida， Karen Lauder refused to leave her
home because she was wrong about the intensity （強度） of the
storm.Karen is 84 years old and depends on a wheelchair to get around
because she is missing a leg.Her son， Johnny Lauder， tried repeatedly
to get her to leave， but she refused.
　　Johnny and his whole family live within a few blocks of one
another.They kept in touch with Karen as the storm continued violently
outside， watching the water rising dangerously all around them.When
Karen reported that the water in her house had reached her bottom，
Johnny knew he had to take action.
　　First， Johnny ensured his sons and their pets were taken care
of.Then， he jumped out of a window and began to swim.Johnny used to
work as a rescue swimmer.He is obviously a strong swimmer， but the
flood water was filled with dangerous materials.There was also a strong
current， and he had to swim against it for most of his trip to Karen’s.As
he made his way through the water， Johnny stopped periodically to snap
selfies （拍自拍） to show his worried family that he was okay.
　　Johnny was racing against the clock.He knew he only had a short
period of time to get there before the water rose above Karen’s head.It
took him 40 minutes to swim four blocks.The sound of Karen’s shouting
inside was music to his ears！
　　“If it would’ve been 20 minutes later， she wouldn’t be here，”
Johnny said.“She’s never been happier to see me.”
　　Karen is now safe， although she is in the hospital being treated for
infections （感染） she got in the water.The family have all lost
everything they owned， including their houses， but they’re grateful
just to be here.

came？（　　）
A. She had nowhere to go.
B. She was too old to move.
C. She thought the storm was not violent.
D. She lost her wheelchair and was unable to leave.

　　Great efforts have been made to close the gender （性別） pay
gap.But not all fields of work are created equal.
　　Alexandra Light， who has been doing ballet since she was two years
old， says even the dance world is dominated （主宰） by men at the
top.“A lot of people on the outside of the dance world still don’t
realize，” she said， “in the industry， it’s still very much a boys’
game.”
　　Tracey Rockett， who teaches management practice at Texas
Christian University， says she can point to any number of studies that
show the wide gulf （鴻溝） between women and management.That gulf
persists even in fields dominated by women.
　　“In public schools， for example， men are in the minority， but to
keep them， very often， they will be offered promotion opportunities
much earlier than women are，” Rockett said.“You see that in the
restaurant industry， in education， in healthcare， and in dance.”
　　According to the Dance Data Project， among the largest 150 ballet
companies in America， only a quarter of works produced last year were
choreographed （編舞） by women.
　　Light is a lead dancer.She knows the difficulties in reaching the
position where she is now.“You know， there’s a choreographic
workshop， and you don’t sign up for that because you’re like，
‘Well， I need to， I need to dance，’” Light said.
　　During the pandemic， women quit the workforce in larger
numbers.They reported larger rates of burnout while taking on the extra
burden of childcare.At companies where women often take the lead on
efforts of diversity and equity， they typically don’t get additional pay.
　　But Rockett sees hope in Light’s generation， Gen Z （used to
describe Americans born during the late 1990s and early 2000s）.“That
is one thing we are seeing in particular with Gen Z. They will leave
without a backup job.If they’re dissatisfied， they’re going to take
off，” Rockett said.

28. What does Light reveal about the dance world in Paragraph 2？
（　?。?br/>A. There are many boys dancing.
B. Men take up senior positions.
C. Many girls give up dancing in the end.
D. Women are not necessarily good dancers.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第二段中Light 所說的even the dance
world is dominated （主宰）by men at the top和in the industry，
it’s still very much a boys’ game可知，Light 認為，舞蹈領域的
主宰者是男性。
29. What does the underlined word “persists” in Paragraph 3 mean？
（　?。?br/>A. Varies. B. Revives.
C. Balances. D. Continues.
解析：　詞義猜測題。根據第四段Rockett所說的話可知，在公
立學校、餐飲業、教育、醫療保健、舞蹈等領域，男性被提拔為
上層管理者的機會更多。由此推斷，Rockett說女性要想成為管理
者需要跨過巨大的鴻溝，即使是在女性主導的領域里，這一鴻溝
依然存在。
30. What feeling does Light express in Paragraph 6？（　?。?br/>A. Confusion. B. Relief.
C. Helplessness. D. Eagerness.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據第六段中Light所說there’s a
choreographic workshop， and you don’t sign up for that because
you’re like， “Well， I need to， I need to dance，”可知，Light
沒報名參加舞蹈工作坊，因為她需要跳舞，以保住她領舞的位
置，她的話中滿是無奈。
31. What does Rockett see in Gen Z？（　?。?br/>A. They are unwilling to do just one job.
B. They are brave to say no to unfairness.
C. They always do what they have planned.
D. They choose to ignore the gender pay gap.
解析：　推理判斷題。倒數第二段提到了在一些公司里，女性
在多元化和公平方面發揮著領導作用，但她們通常不會獲得額外
的薪酬。根據最后一段中Rockett所說They will leave without a
backup job.If they’re dissatisfied， they’re going to take off可
知，Rockett從Z世代人身上看到了他們敢向不公平待遇說“不”
的勇氣。

　　Every day at sunrise on the small French Polynesian island of
Rimatara， Tiraha Mooroa goes for a run with Koha， the dog.Koha has
an important job： to sniff out （嗅出） and kill any black rats he can
find.Koha is the island’s only defense against the invasive rats.Keeping
the island rat-free is vital： the rats， which arrive via boats and cargo
ships （貨船）， are the single biggest threat to native birds of the Pacific
Islands， including the Rimatara lorikeet.The beautiful bird is critically
endangered — only 1，500 remain in the wild， and a third of the entire
population lives on tiny Rimatara island.Now， of the 118 islands in
French Polynesia， Rimatara is one of only three without the rats.
　　The lorikeet was once widespread in the South Pacific.By the 18th
century， however， it had already been hunted to near extinction by the
Polynesians， who prized the bird’s red feathers for making
headdresses.By 1900， the island’s queen， Temaeva V， banned
hunting of the birds， effectively preserving the remaining
population.Since the 1990s， however， the lorikeets have faced rising
threats.
　　Socio-environmental researcher Samuel Ravatua-Smith heads up a
nest observation program， launched by the conservation association Rima
Ura， to better understand the lorikeet and its population decline.The
program monitors all lorikeet nests on the island with Bluetooth-enabled
cameras.Ravatua-Smith’s face falls as he watches the footage （鏡
頭）.“The videos confirm that after the visit of a white-tailed
tropicbird， the two hatchlings are no longer in the nest.The while-tailed
tropicbird may be targeting and taking over lorikeet nests because of its
own habitat loss，” Ravatua-Smith says.
　　It’s an important finding that brings Rima Ura another step closer to
saving the lorikeet.This year， close to 100 new houses are set to be built
to provide housing for residents in need.The clearing and construction
may end up encompassing （涉及） more than half of the island.Rima
Ura works to educate residents of Rimatara about how they can help
protect the lorikeet， for instance encouraging locals to plant more fruit
trees around their houses.Members of Rima Ura who live on the island
also mark nesting trees and participate in reforestation initiatives.

32. What can we infer from Paragraph 1？（　?。?br/>A. Koha’s efforts have worked.
B. Mooroa works on a cargo ship.
C. More dogs are needed on Rimatara island.
D. The Rimatara lorikeet’s threats are under control.

責清理外來老鼠的Koha的工作有了成效。
33. What was the main reason for the decline of the lorikeet’s number
during the 18th century？（　?。?br/>A. Invasion of black rats.
B. Habitat destruction.
C. Food competition.
D. Human hunting.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第二段中的The lorikeet was once
widespread in the South Pacific.By the 18th century，
however， it had already been hunted to near extinction by the
Polynesians可知，十八世紀時，由于人們的捕獵導致孔氏吸蜜
鸚鵡的數量大量減少。
34. What does Ravatua-Smith discover？（　　）
A. The survival rate of the lorikeet’s newborns is increasing.
B. The lorikeet’s newborns are tended by other birds.
C. The lorikeets lose their habitat to other birds.
D. The lorikeets often stay in their nests.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據第三段中Samuel Ravatua-Smith heads
up a nest observation program ...to better understand the lorikeet and
its population decline ...“The videos confirm that ...The white-
tailed tropicbird may be targeting and taking over lorikeet nests
because of its own habitat loss，”可知，Ravatua-Smith發現孔氏吸
蜜鸚鵡的巢穴被其他鳥類侵占。
35. Which measure is adopted by Rima Ura to save the Rimatara
lorikeet？（　　）
A. Limiting the number of tourists on the island.
B. Building man-made nests for the birds on the island.
C. Calling on people to stop building houses on the island.
D. Uniting residents on the island to plant lorikeet-friendly trees.
解析：　細節理解題。根據最后一段中的Rima Ura works to
educate residents of Rimatara about how they can help protect the
lorikeet， for instance encouraging locals to plant more fruit trees
around their houses.可知，Rima Ura組織當地島民種植對孔氏吸蜜
鸚鵡有益的樹來保護它們。

第二節（滿分25分）
　　閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構
成一篇完整的短文。
　　It was a cloudy fall morning in our North Carolina town， and a fine
mist dampened the fallen leaves.I was angry.My mother had slighted me
somehow， although I can’t recall what caused my anger now.I was
upset， and I would run away.
　　“Goodbye， Mom.” I stood outside the kitchen door， firmly
holding onto my suitcase.I wore my worn-out red windbreaker （風衣）
and a gray ski cap， looking the part.“Goodbye， Mom，” I repeated
twice more， pushing open the door with my foot one final time， to
make sure she’d heard.
　　At last， Mom emerged， wiping her hands on a dish towel.She
gave me the once-over.I lifted the suitcase a little just to make sure she
didn’t miss it.“I’m leaving，” I said.
　　“Did you pack a lunch？” Mom’s question knocked me off
balance.Where were the tears？The pleas （懇求）？ “I said I’m
leaving，” I said.“I’m running away.For ...ever.” I uttered the
feared word slowly， and convinced it would weaken her
determination.Instead， she smiled.
　　“Well， would you like me to fix you something？ A sandwich？
Bag of chips？ I just made chocolate chip cookies.”
　　“I’m really going，” I said.
　　“I can see that.”
　　“Maybe a cookie.”And then， “All right， I’m off.”
　　The misty rain lent drama to my journey.As I stepped onto the front
walk， fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies in my coat pocket， I looked
back at our big yellow house.I stared at the front door， waiting for it to
open.I observed the curtains in the living room window， but there was no
sign of any motion， not even a slight movement.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。
　　And so I had no choice but to continue.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　
　
　　
A moment later， I was back in our home. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　
　　　　 　　 　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　 　　 　
　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　 　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　 　 　
　 　　 　 　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　 　　 　
　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　 　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　 　 　
參考范文：
　　And so I had no choice but to continue.I got to the sidewalk and made
my way along the street.I paused at a street corner and looked back at our
house.I was uncertain about what lay ahead.I took a bite of the cookie，
and decided that my mother deserved one last chance to convince me
otherwise.I turned around and casually strolled back towards the
house.Nothing.Not even a flicker of a curtain.My mother didn’t care if I
ran away.Had she ever loved me at all？
　　A moment later， I was back in our home.“Lucy？” My
mother’s voice came softly from the darkened living room.She was on
the couch， sitting in a way I’d never seen her sit before.She perched on
a pillow， positioned just right for a view through a large window.“I’m
happy you’re home，” she said.She’d been crying.She managed a
smile when I stepped over to her， and my anger and disappointment
faded away.I knew she loved me.My mother loved me enough to let me
find my own way back home.
謝謝觀看！
