A dinosaur footprint found by a four-year-old girl on a Welsh beach has been regarded as the “finest find in a decade” by experts.
Lily Wilder was walking her dog with her family at Bendricks Beach in Barry when she spotted the fossilized (石化的) footprint in the rocks. Her mother said that after making the find, she uploaded a picture to Facebook and was shocked to receive a “huge response” from fossil hunters. Mrs. Wilder then contacted National Museum Wales, who advised her to take down the post to avoid a wild rush of fossil fans towards the protected section of land.
The 110-mm footprint fossil has now been legally detached, after permission was given by the landowners and Natural Resources Wales, and is currently in safekeeping. The footprint fossil, believed to be around 220 million years old, will be taken to National Museum Wales, on a temporary or permanent basis.
Cindy Howells, who arranged for the legal removal of the footprint, said: “This is an amazing discovery. It’s the best-preserved footprint fossil that’s ever been found in South Wales-normally they’re hollow (中空的) or less well-defined, but on this one you can see the claws (爪子) and the points at the end. This discovery is unique and worth protecting — we will be studying the footprint and it will teach us a lot more about dinosaur feet and their bone and muscle structure.”
The footprint is believed to be that of a meat-eating dinosaur from the early days when dinosaurs were first starting to evolve (进化), around 10 million years after dinosaurs first emerged on Earth.
Lily, who now plans to get more dinosaur toys, will forever be named as the footprint fossil’s finder and will be invited into the museum once it reopens.
4. Why was Mrs. Wilder advised to take down her post
A. To avoid misleading fossil hunters. B. To block out negative responses online.
C. To keep her daughter from being exposed. D. To protect the footprint from fossil fans.
5. What does the underlined word “detached” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Named. B. Purchased. C. Removed. D. Recognized.
6. What can we learn from Cindy’s words about the footprint
A. It is complete and clear. B. It will end up in a museum.
C. It is around 110 million years old. D. It belongs to a grass-eating dinosaur.
7. What can be the best title for the text
A. The significance of dinosaur footprints B. The finest find in the fossil world
C Little girl’s love for dinosaurs D. Little girl’s big discovery
C
It’s a common belief that cats hate water. They don’t beg to play with water or jump in a pond or pool like dogs do. But what makes them hate one of the most plentiful substances on Earth They have to drink it to survive, so what’s the big deal
The easy answer is that they’re just not used to being wet. Cats clean themselves by licking (舔), so humans don’t usually bother to introduce them to bathing in water the way we do with dogs. Show cats, for example, to learn very early on to take baths and they don’t have that typical fear of water. If you want a cat that likes water, introduce it as a kitten to the idea that water is nice. Ideally, you start introducing them to water during their socialization period before they reach l6 weeks old.
The cat’s preference for bathing itself without any help from humans is another factor in its dislike of water. All that licking means cats have little oil buildup on their fur. Oil helps avoid water, so when cats do get wet, the water soaks all the way down to their skin. It makes their fur feel heavy and they can feel less quick and flexible.
We also use water for punishment. When they jump on the counter or lick our bowl of yogurt, or scratch (抓) the arm of the couch, we often spray (喷洒) them with water. It works because it’s an unpleasant surprise. It’s cold and uncomfortable, so they stop the behavior we don’t want them to do and run off to stare at us from a distance.
But not all cats hate all water. Big cats — like tigers — often even go for a dip. Even house cats like to drink from running water or play at the edge of a filled bathtub. They seem to enjoy the splashy noise and the sparkle of light on the water’s surface. Some breeds of pet cats even like to swim!
8. Why do cats hate water according to the text
A. They don’t need any water.
B. Water is harmful to their health.
C. Being wet makes them uncomfortable.
D. Their masters forbid their playing with water.
9. What can we do to make cats like water
A. Introduce water to cats when they are young.
B. Stop cats cleaning themselves by licking.
C. Let cats take baths with water like dogs.
D. Try to spray them with water.
10. What can be known about the cat after being sprayed with water
A. It would wander about looking for food.
B. It would expect love and care from its master.
C. It would enjoy the cool feeling of being wet and cold.
D. It would feel angry about being sprayed.
11. What does the text mainly talk about
A. How do people punish cats
B. Why do most cats hate water
C. When is the best time for cats to bathe
D. What is the difference between cats and dogs
D
A new study has found that light pollution is making the night sky brighter and the stars dimmer (暗淡的). The study examined data from more than 50, 000 citizen star watchers across the world, It found that man-made, or artificial lighting is making the night sky about 10 percent brighter each year. Data for the study was collected from 2011 to 2022.
The result was a much faster rate of change than scientists had estimated in the past. As cities expand and put up more lights, a “skyglow” is created in the sky. Skyglow is a term scientists use to describe light that becomes more intense. The research team gave an example to explain the result. If a child is born where 250 stars can be seen on a clear night, by the time that child turns 18, only 100 stars will be seen.
Past studies involving artificial lighting used satellite images of the Earth at night. They had estimated the yearly increase in sky brightness to be about 2 percent a year. But the satellites used are not able to identify light with wavelengths toward the blue end of the spectrum (光谱) — including light given off by energy-effective LED bulbs. The researchers noted that more than half the new outdoor lights put in across the United States during the past 10 years have been LED lights. The satellites are also better at finding light that gets spread upward like a spotlight than light that spreads out from side to side, Kyba said.
“Migratory songbirds normally use starlight to orient (确定方向) where they are in the sky at night,” said Georgetown University biologist Emily Williams. She was not part of the study. And when sea turtle babies hatch, they use light to orient toward the ocean — light pollution is a huge deal for them.
Falchi, the physicist at the University of Santiago de Compostela, said part of what is being lost is a universal human experience. “The night sky caused the generations before ours to have exciting new ideas or made them want to create something, especially in art, music, science and literature,” he added.
12. What does the new study find according to Paragraph 1
A. Stars are observed by more citizens.
B. Stars are much brighter than in the past.
C. Light pollution continues to darken stars.
D. Light makes the night sky more beautiful.
13. Why did the research team give an example of a child
A. To highlight an experiment.
B. To present an assumption.
C. To clarify a concept.
D. To explain the result of artificial light.
14. How do baby turtles orient toward the ocean
A. By the moonlight. B. By the starlight.
C By the sunlight. D. By the spotlight.
15. What might the generations before ours think of the night sky according to Falchi
A. Inspirational. B. Mysterious. C. Awesome. D. Scared.

It was a long, tiring day because Carl had driven for 12 hours without a break. He was crossing a corner when he noticed a panic-stricken woman getting out of a taxi with a child in her arms.
“Why is the woman shouting at the driver ” Carl wondered and slowed down near them. Then he realized the woman was pleading (恳求) with the driver not to leave.
“Hey... Please ... I’ll pay you more...”
But the taxi driver coldly drove away.
Carl was curious and got out of his car to find out what had happened. Then he saw that the little boy held by the woman was having difficulty breathing. Carl realized he was having a seizure (发病). “Get in my taxi. I’ll take you to hospital,” said Carl.
Carl drove as fast as he could, hoping not to get trapped in heavy traffic. The woman told Carl that she and her four-year-old son, Tyler, were returning from the park when it started raining. “I told the driver I would pay him once I got home because I didn’t have my purse with me. But when my son suddenly had a seizure and I asked him to take us to the Children’s Hospital instead, he refused,” said the woman in a sad, worried voice.
“Don’t worry. I’ll get you there soon.”
A few minutes later, they arrived at the hospital, and Tyler was rushed inside for treatment.
An hour later, the boy was out of danger. “It could have been fatal (致命的) if you hadn’t made it here in time.” said the doctor. The woman couldn’t help crying and thanked Carl for saving her son’s life. Carl was just glad Tyler was safe. Then Carl dropped them off at home, and when the woman asked Carl to wait for a few minutes so that she could pay him, he refused —“I have a principle: No fees for those making trips to hospital!”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在以下的相应位置作答。

It’s the best-preserved footprint fossil that’s ever been found in South Wales-normally they’re hollow (中空的) or less well-defined, but on this one you can see the claws (爪子) and the points at the end. This discovery is unique and worth protecting — we will be studying the footprint and it will teach us a lot more about dinosaur feet and their bone and muscle structure.”
The footprint is believed to be that of a meat-eating dinosaur from the early days when dinosaurs were first starting to evolve (进化), around 10 million years after dinosaurs first emerged on Earth.
Lily, who now plans to get more dinosaur toys, will forever be named as the footprint fossil’s finder and will be invited into the museum once it reopens.
4. Why was Mrs. Wilder advised to take down her post
A. To avoid misleading fossil hunters. B. To block out negative responses online.
C. To keep her daughter from being exposed. D. To protect the footprint from fossil fans.
5. What does the underlined word “detached” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Named. B. Purchased. C. Removed. D. Recognized.
6. What can we learn from Cindy’s words about the footprint
A. It is complete and clear. B. It will end up in a museum.
C. It is around 110 million years old. D. It belongs to a grass-eating dinosaur.
7. What can be the best title for the text

It’s a common belief that cats hate water. They don’t beg to play with water or jump in a pond or pool like dogs do. But what makes them hate one of the most plentiful substances on Earth They have to drink it to survive, so what’s the big deal
The easy answer is that they’re just not used to being wet. Cats clean themselves by licking (舔), so humans don’t usually bother to introduce them to bathing in water the way we do with dogs. Show cats, for example, to learn very early on to take baths and they don’t have that typical fear of water. If you want a cat that likes water, introduce it as a kitten to the idea that water is nice. Ideally, you start introducing them to water during their socialization period before they reach l6 weeks old.
The cat’s preference for bathing itself without any help from humans is another factor in its dislike of water. All that licking means cats have little oil buildup on their fur. Oil helps avoid water, so when cats do get wet, the water soaks all the way down to their skin. It makes their fur feel heavy and they can feel less quick and flexible.
We also use water for punishment. When they jump on the counter or lick our bowl of yogurt, or scratch (抓) the arm of the couch, we often spray (喷洒) them with water. It works because it’s an unpleasant surprise. It’s cold and uncomfortable, so they stop the behavior we don’t want them to do and run off to stare at us from a distance.
But not all cats hate all water. Big cats — like tigers — often even go for a dip. Even house cats like to drink from running water or play at the edge of a filled bathtub. They seem to enjoy the splashy noise and the sparkle of light on the water’s surface. Some breeds of pet cats even like to swim!
8. Why do cats hate water according to the text
A. They don’t need any water.
B. Water is harmful to their health.
C. Being wet makes them uncomfortable.
D. Their masters forbid their playing with water.
9. What can we do to make cats like water
A. Introduce water to cats when they are young.
B. Stop cats cleaning themselves by licking.
C. Let cats take baths with water like dogs.
D. Try to spray them with water.
10. What can be known about the cat after being sprayed with water
A. It would wander about looking for food.
B. It would expect love and care from its master.
C. It would enjoy the cool feeling of being wet and cold.
D. It would feel angry about being sprayed.
11. What does the text mainly talk about
A. How do people punish cats
B. Why do most cats hate water
C. When is the best time for cats to bathe
D. What is the difference between cats and dogs
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B

细节理解题。根据第三段中“Oil helps avoid water, so when cats do get wet, the water soaks all the way down to their skin. It makes their fur feel heavy and they can feel less quick and flexible. (油有助于避免水,所以当猫被淋湿时,水会一直渗透到它们的皮肤上。这让它们的皮毛感觉很重,感觉不那么敏捷和灵活。)”和第四段中“we often spray (喷洒) them with water. It works because it’s an unpleasant surprise. It’s cold and uncomfortable (我们经常给它们喷水。它之所以有效,是因为它是一个令人不快的惊喜。这样又冷又不舒服。)”可知,猫讨厌水是因为它们身上有水时感觉不舒服。故选C。

A new study has found that light pollution is making the night sky brighter and the stars dimmer (暗淡的). The study examined data from more than 50, 000 citizen star watchers across the world, It found that man-made, or artificial lighting is making the night sky about 10 percent brighter each year. Data for the study was collected from 2011 to 2022.
The result was a much faster rate of change than scientists had estimated in the past. As cities expand and put up more lights, a “skyglow” is created in the sky. Skyglow is a term scientists use to describe light that becomes more intense. The research team gave an example to explain the result. If a child is born where 250 stars can be seen on a clear night, by the time that child turns 18, only 100 stars will be seen.
Past studies involving artificial lighting used satellite images of the Earth at night. They had estimated the yearly increase in sky brightness to be about 2 percent a year. But the satellites used are not able to identify light with wavelengths toward the blue end of the spectrum (光谱) — including light given off by energy-effective LED bulbs. The researchers noted that more than half the new outdoor lights put in across the United States during the past 10 years have been LED lights. The satellites are also better at finding light that gets spread upward like a spotlight than light that spreads out from side to side, Kyba said.
“Migratory songbirds normally use starlight to orient (确定方向) where they are in the sky at night,” said Georgetown University biologist Emily Williams. She was not part of the study. And when sea turtle babies hatch, they use light to orient toward the ocean — light pollution is a huge deal for them.
Falchi, the physicist at the University of Santiago de Compostela, said part of what is being lost is a universal human experience. “The night sky caused the generations before ours to have exciting new ideas or made them want to create something, especially in art, music, science and literature,” he added.
12. What does the new study find according to Paragraph 1
A. Stars are observed by more citizens.
B. Stars are much brighter than in the past.
C. Light pollution continues to darken stars.
D. Light makes the night sky more beautiful.
13. Why did the research team give an example of a child
A. To highlight an experiment.
B. To present an assumption.
C. To clarify a concept.
D. To explain the result of artificial light.
14. How do baby turtles orient toward the ocean
A. By the moonlight. B. By the starlight.
C. By the sunlight. D. By the spotlight.
15. What might the generations before ours think of the night sky according to Falchi
A. Inspirational. B. Mysterious. C. Awesome. D. Scared.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,一项研究表明:光污染使星星持续暗淡。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A new study has found that light pollution is making the night sky brighter and the stars dimmer (暗淡的).(一项新的研究发现,光污染正在使夜空变得更亮,星星变得更暗)”可知,这项新的研究发现光污染使星星持续暗淡,故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Skyglow is a term scientists use to describe light that becomes more intense. The research team gave an example to explain the result. If a child is born where 250 stars can be seen on a clear night, by the time that child turns 18, only 100 stars will be seen.(天光是科学家用来描述光线变得更强烈的一个术语。研究小组举了一个例子来解释这个结果。如果一个孩子出生时,在晴朗的夜晚可以看到250颗星星,到他18岁时,他只能看到100颗星星)”可知,研究团队以孩子举例是为了解释人造灯光造成的结果——天空越来越黯淡。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“And when sea turtle babies hatch, they use light to orient toward the ocean(当海龟宝宝孵化时,它们会用光来定位海洋)”可知,海龟宝宝孵化时利用星光来确定海洋的方向,故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Falchi说的话“The night sky caused the generations before ours to have exciting new ideas or made them want to create something, especially in art, music, science and literature(夜空让我们的前几代人产生了令人兴奋的新想法,或者让他们想要创造一些东西,尤其是在艺术、音乐、科学和文学方面)”可知,按照Falchi的说法,在我们之前的几代人中,夜空是艺术、音乐、科学和文学的灵感源泉,他们认为夜空能够给予灵感,故选A。

I am very sorry to hear of your present situation that you are so depressed after the accident. I was shocked at the news that you were knocked down while cycling to school. Knowing that you have had an operation on your injured right leg and that you have to stay in the hospital, I feel worried about you.
At present, it’s important that you accept the present situation and stay in a good mood, which is significant to your recovery.

47. 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。
It was a long, tiring day because Carl had driven for 12 hours without a break. He was crossing a corner when he noticed a panic-stricken woman getting out of a taxi with a child in her arms.
“Why is the woman shouting at the driver ” Carl wondered and slowed down near them. Then he realized the woman was pleading (恳求) with the driver not to leave.
“Hey... Please ... I’ll pay you more...”
But the taxi driver coldly drove away.
Carl was curious and got out of his car to find out what had happened. Then he saw that the little boy held by the woman was having difficulty breathing. Carl realized he was having a seizure (发病). “Get in my taxi. I’ll take you to hospital,” said Carl.
Carl drove as fast as he could, hoping not to get trapped in heavy traffic. The woman told Carl that she and her four-year-old son, Tyler, were returning from the park when it started raining. “I told the driver I would pay him once I got home because I didn’t have my purse with me. But when my son suddenly had a seizure and I asked him to take us to the Children’s Hospital instead, he refused,” said the woman in a sad, worried voice.
“Don’t worry. I’ll get you there soon.”
A few minutes later, they arrived at the hospital, and Tyler was rushed inside for treatment.
An hour later, the boy was out of danger. “It could have been fatal (致命的) if you hadn’t made it here in time.” said the doctor. The woman couldn’t help crying and thanked Carl for saving her son’s life. Carl was just glad Tyler was safe. Then Carl dropped them off at home, and when the woman asked Carl to wait for a few minutes so that she could pay him, he refused —“I have a principle: No fees for those making trips to hospital!”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在以下的相应位置作答。

【答案】 Many years later, 66-year-old Carl was going to hospital for some tests. He had ended his driving career owing to some health issues. He was waiting outside when a taxi pulled up. He got in and told the driver to drop him off at the hospital in the city center. “Alright, sir!” the driver replied. They didn’t talk much in the car, and when they arrived, Carl suddenly realized he’d forgotten to bring his wallet. “Sir, you don’t have to pay me. All trips I make to hospital are free!” the young driver said.
“Free trips to hospital But why ” Carl asked in surprise. “When I was little, I had a seizure. A warm-hearted driver drove me to hospital for free and saved my life. His kindness inspired me to do the same,” said the young driver. Carl couldn’t help laughing and asked again, “What’s your name ” Then when Carl heard his answer “Tyler,” the old man’s eyes were flooded with happy tears. “How time flies,”Carl said, “Goodness has its reward.” Speaking no more, Carl thanked the driver and went into the hospital.
