2．（10分）Alice In Wonderland is my favorite story.And acting is my number one passion. At my old school，Poulsbo Elementary，I'd starred in every play from third grade on.Before that，gymnastics was my thing.But then I played my first role as Tinkerbell in Peter Pan.And after that，back flips just couldn't compare.

So when my sixth﹣grade teacher，Mrs Pearson announced during my first week at Newland Elementary that we'd be performing Alice in Wonderland for the school play，I practically screamed out loud with excitement.I'd always wanted to play the role of Alice!In the story，Alice went down a rabbit hole where weird（怪异的） things happened.Somehow I could relate to her more than ever now that I was going to a new school.

When Mrs Pearson announced that I would act as one of the hedgehogs（刺猬）in the

play，my stomach started to ache!The hedgehogs had no lines but just got hit with mallets（木槌）and then disappeared!But I clapped along with everyone else and pasted a fake smile on my face.Maybe I should just go back to gymnastics and forget all about acting.

Tyler and Ella were the other two hedgehogs.When we were outside the classroom，Ella had one hand against the wall and appeared to be doing ballet warmups. \"I really wanted to be the Queen of Hearts，\" said Ella.She raised her left leg so that it was almost parallel to her body.

\"Yeah，I wanted to be the Cheshire Cat，\" said Tyler.He twirled（旋转）around with his hands clasped together above his head.Both of them seemed like good dancers. Suddenly I had an idea.

My heart was pounding crazily.But at least I didn't have a stomachache anymore. The first rehearsal finally came.Then came our cue.

\"One...two...three，\" with the hedgehog costumes，we ran onstage in a line，steps synchronized （同步） and arms waving together.We stopped in front of the Queen of Hearts and curtsied （屈膝）.She was so surprised that she almost forgot her next line.

The Queen took her mallet and aimed at Hedgehog #1—Ella.When the mallet touched her，Ella spun and jumped across the stage using moves from Ballet. \"Wow，\" said everyone. The mallet came down on Hedgehog #2，Tyler.Tyler glided across the stage doing a Sideways Moonwalk. \"Aah，\" said the cast，even louder than before.

The Queen looked excited as she prepared to hit Hedgehog #3—me.When the mallet tapped me，I did three back flips.Everyone erupted into applause.

The three of us looked at each other.We knew we managed to surprise everyone by making small parts cool.

I still miss my friends in Poulsbo.But Seattle feels a lot less like the rabbit hole now，and a lot more like home.

3．（10分）Britain's meat industry on Friday warned that an upcoming shortage of carbon dioxide（CO2）could cause massive disruption（中断） to food supplies within two weeks. The gas is used to stun animals before slaughter（屠宰），in the vacuum packing of food products to extend their shelf life，and to put the fizz into beer，cider and soft drinks.It is also required for some medical procedures and used in the nuclear and semi﹣conductor industries. Britain's food supply chain，already creaking from a severe shortage of heavy goods vehicles （HGV） drivers and the impact of Brexit（脱欧）and COVID﹣19，is heavily reliant on fertiliser producers for CO2 which is a by﹣product of their production process.However，two of the largest fertiliser producers，Norway's Yara YAR.OL and rival CF Industries Holdings CF.N，have restrained production due to a sudden increase in natural gas prices，which has in turn started to dry up CO2 supplies.

Nick Allen，chief executive of the British Meat Processors Association （BMPA），said that once current stocks of the gas run out，some meat companies will have to stop taking animals and close production lines，leading to a logjam of animals back to the farms. \"We

already have this situation in the pig industry which is now facing the disruption prospect of a humane killing on farms，\" he said.The BMPA is persuading Business Minister Kwasi Kwarteng to help support UK CO2 production in the short﹣term.

\"We are monitoring this situation closely and are in regular contact with the food and farming organizations and industry，to help them manage the current situation，\" said a UK government spokesperson. \"The UK benefits from having access to highly diverse sources of gas supply to ensure households，businesses and heavy industry get the energy they need at a fair price.Britain last suffered a major CO2 shortage in 2018，leading to some drinks wholesalers to ration （定量） sales.\"

（1）What's the direct cause of the CO2 shortage this year？ A.A government policy. B.An infectious disease. C.Transportation failure. D.Cost rise.

（2）What does the underlined word \"logjam\" mean in paragraph 4？ A.Bottleneck. B.Promise. C.Setback. D.Recovery.

（3）What measure may the UK government take？ A.To close production lines. B.To stop marketing animals. C.To limit the drinks wholesale. D.To explore more gas supplies.

（4）What may be the suitable title for the passage？ A.Diverse Applications of CO2 B.CO2 Shortage Hit Food Supplies C.Efforts Taken to Produce CO2 D.The Future of Britain's Meat Industry

4．（10分）The commonly held view is that people arrived in North America from Asia via a land bridge once connecting the two continents.But recent discoveries have suggested humans might have been there earlier.Researchers studying fossilized human footprints in New Mexico say that humans were there at least 23，000 years ago.

Matthew Bennett，a specialist in ancient footprints and author of a study on the new findings published in Science，and his colleagues studied 61 footprints by radiocarbon dating layers of aquatic（水生的）plant seeds preserved above and below the footprints and accurately dated they were made 21，000 to 23，000 years ago.The people who made the footprints were living there in the last Ice Age when two massive ice sheets covering the continent and cold temperatures would have made a journey between Asia and Alaska impossible，indicating humans must have been there much earlier than previously thought.

According to their analysis of the footprints，they were likely made in soft ground at the edge of a wetland by children who were sent to do the work like fetching and catching by adults.Wind probably blew dust over the surface，accumulating in the prints，thus，leaving footprints that previously recorded.

Their finding also makes it possible to explore the older and more controversial sites with a different light.One such site is Chiquihuite Cave in central Mexico，where stone tools dating back to 30，000 years ago have been found.

David Rachal，an uninvolved but experienced geoarchaeologist（地质考古学家）thought the footprint dates provided by Bennett and his team looked \"solid\"，with seeds providing very reliable and precise ages through radiocarbon dating. \"You could not ask for a better setup，\" said Rachal.However，he was puzzled that no artifacts，such as stone tools，had been found in the area.He thought it was just a theme that was gaining some serious traction in the literature.

（1）What is the most essential evidence dating the time in the passage？ A.The aquatic plant seeds. B.The fossilized human footprints. C.The unearthed tools. D.The massive ice sheets.

（2）Why does the author mention Chiquihuite Cave in central Mexico？

A.To introduce a historical site.

B.To show the significance of the footprints. C.To compare geoarchaeological discoveries. D.To explain the course of making a discovery.

（3）What's David Rachal's attitude towards the new discovery？ A.Optimistic and trustful. B.Conservative and cautious. C.Negative but curious. D.Favorable but confused.

（4）What is the passage mainly about？ A.The discovery of human footprints. B.Scientific methods of dating footprints. C.The earlier arrival of people in North America. D.A discussion on human history among researchers.

第二节 （共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

5．（12.5分）Do you find it easy to start books but struggle to finish them？Does your TBR（to﹣be﹣read）list overwhelm you？

This happened to me in February.I had 10 books on my currently﹣reading list.Despite this，I was tempted to start a new book every three to four days.（1） .But this time，I figured the problem is with me and not with the books I am reading.With so many half﹣read books waiting to be finished，I was overwhelmed.

（2） .For this，I systematically created a framework that allowed me to finish 4 of these books in 10 days.Mind you，I did this with a 9﹣hour day job and some writing on the side too.

The first thing I did was declutter（清理）my TBR list.（3） .So I just picked books I wanted to finish and abandoned the rest.As hard as it seemed，dropping some books out of reading list actually created a much﹣needed space for me to focus on one book at a time and finish it.

Another way I tried is to avoid the SOS Trap.SOS refers to people repeatedly leaving their

current pursuits for a newer pursuit.It is easy to get carried with SOS in reading too.You're reading a book，and you spot another one you're tempted to start reading.（4） .To escape the reader's SOS trap，I committed to one book at a time before starting a new one.

I also used James Altucher's day analysis technique to analyze my day.With the help of a data usage app，I figured out how much time I spent unnecessarily on the web.（5） .By sticking to this routine，I finished a long﹣pending book in three days.

A.This is exactly how our reading list piles up B.Starting March，I decided to get back on track C.I cut some of this time and devoted it to reading D.It helped me focus and progress more efficiently E.The sight of too many books in the list was overwhelming F.To start again，I searched the Internet for professional advice G.Sometimes the book itself is so boring that you struggle to finish it

A freezing downpour washed the street in front of the small﹣town bar.I sat gazing into the watery darkness，alone as usual.I had been in that old bar for half an hour，quietly drinking，

when my thoughtful eyes finally focused on a medium﹣sized lump （一团） in a puddle （水洼） a hundred feet away.For another ten minutes，I looked out through the window trying to decide if the lump was an animal or just something.

The night before，a German dog named Shep had come into the bar begging for potato chips.He was starving and just the size of the lump in the puddle.Why should a dog lie in a cold puddle in the freezing rain？I asked myself.The answer was simple：Either it wasn't a dog，or it was，he was too weak to get up.

The wound in my right shoulder ached all the way down my fingers.I didn't want to go out in the storm.Hey，it wasn't my dog.It was just a stray on a cold rainy night，a lonely drifter（流浪者）.So was I，I thought，as I tossed （扔） down what was left of my drink and headed out the door.

He was lying in the three inches of water.When I touched him，he didn't move.I thought he was dead.I put my hands around his chest and raised him to his feet.He stood unsteadily，and his head hung like a weight at the end of his neck.His floppy ears were just hairless pieces of flesh dotted with open sores（伤口）.

\"Come on，Shep，\" I said，leading him to a corner next to the bar，where he lay on the cold cement and closed his eyes.A block away I could see the lights of a late﹣night convenience store.It was still open.I bought three cans of dog food and fed him.He couldn't swallow but poorly look at me.He was dying! 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。

The local vet（兽医） was still at his office，so I loaded the poor creature into a taxi and headed there.__________.

Three days later，when I opened the door of the vet's，Shep welcomed me with wild enthusiasm.__________.

3．（10分）Britain's meat industry on Friday warned that an upcoming shortage of carbon dioxide（CO2）could cause massive disruption（中断） to food supplies within two weeks. The gas is used to stun animals before slaughter（屠宰），in the vacuum packing of food products to extend their shelf life，and to put the fizz into beer，cider and soft drinks.It is also required for some medical procedures and used in the nuclear and semi﹣conductor industries. Britain's food supply chain，already creaking from a severe shortage of heavy goods vehicles （HGV） drivers and the impact of Brexit（脱欧）and COVID﹣19，is heavily reliant on fertiliser producers for CO2 which is a by﹣product of their production process.However，two of the largest fertiliser producers，Norway's Yara YAR.OL and rival CF Industries Holdings CF.N，have restrained production due to a sudden increase in natural gas prices，which has in turn started to dry up CO2 supplies.

Nick Allen，chief executive of the British Meat Processors Association （BMPA），said that once current stocks of the gas run out，some meat companies will have to stop taking animals and close production lines，leading to a logjam of animals back to the farms. \"We already have this situation in the pig industry which is now facing the disruption prospect of a

（3）What measure may the UK government take？ D A.To close production lines. B.To stop marketing animals. C.To limit the drinks wholesale. D.To explore more gas supplies.

（4）What may be the suitable title for the passage？ A.Diverse Applications of CO2 B.CO2 Shortage Hit Food Supplies C.Efforts Taken to Produce CO2 D.The Future of Britain's Meat Industry

【解答】（1）D.推理判断题。根据文章第三段However，two of the largest fertiliser producers，

Norway's Yara YAR.OL and rival CF Industries Holdings CF.N，have restrained production due to a sudden increase in natural gas prices，which has in turn started to dry up CO2 supplies.然而，两个最大的化肥生产商，挪威的亚拉YAR.OL和竞争对手CF Industries Holdings CF.N由于天然气价格突然上涨而限制了产量，这反过来又开始耗尽二氧化碳供应。说明成本上升是今年二氧化碳短缺的直接原因。故选D。

（2）A.猜测词义题。根据文章第四段 Nick Allen，chief executive of the British Meat Processors Association （BMPA），said that once current stocks of the gas run out，some meat companies will have to stop taking animals and close production lines英国肉类加工商协会（BMPA）首席执行官尼克•艾伦（Nick Allen）表示，一旦目前的天然气库存耗尽，一些肉类公司将不得不停止带走动物并关闭生产线，因此导致动物要遣送回农场这样的僵局。A.Bottleneck.瓶颈；B.Promise.承诺；C.Setback.挫折；D.Recovery.恢复。故选A。 （3）D.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段The UK benefits from having access to highly diverse sources of gas supply to ensure households，businesses and heavy industry get the energy they need at a fair price.Britain last suffered a major CO2 shortage in 2018，leading to some drinks wholesalers to ration （定量） sales英国受益于获得高度多样化的天然气供应来源，以确保家庭、企业和重工业以公平的价格获得所需的能源。英国上一次遭遇二氧化碳严重短缺是在2018年，导致一些饮料批发商定量销售。说明应该政府正在采取更多的措施探索更多的天然气供应。故选D。

（4）B.标题归纳题。根据文章第一段Britain's meat industry on Friday warned that an upcoming shortage of carbon dioxide（CO2）could cause massive disruption（中断） to food supplies within two weeks.英国肉类行业周五警告称，即将到来的二氧化碳（CO2）短缺可能会在两周内导致食品供应大规模中断。说明本文是在讲二氧化碳的短缺导致食品供应的中断，故选B。

4．（10分）The commonly held view is that people arrived in North America from Asia via a land bridge once connecting the two continents.But recent discoveries have suggested humans might have been there earlier.Researchers studying fossilized human footprints in New Mexico say that humans were there at least 23，000 years ago.

Matthew Bennett，a specialist in ancient footprints and author of a study on the new findings published in Science，and his colleagues studied 61 footprints by radiocarbon dating layers of aquatic（水生的）plant seeds preserved above and below the footprints and accurately

dated they were made 21，000 to 23，000 years ago.The people who made the footprints were living there in the last Ice Age when two massive ice sheets covering the continent and cold temperatures would have made a journey between Asia and Alaska impossible，indicating humans must have been there much earlier than previously thought.

According to their analysis of the footprints，they were likely made in soft ground at the edge of a wetland by children who were sent to do the work like fetching and catching by adults.Wind probably blew dust over the surface，accumulating in the prints，thus，leaving footprints that previously recorded.

Their finding also makes it possible to explore the older and more controversial sites with a different light.One such site is Chiquihuite Cave in central Mexico，where stone tools dating back to 30，000 years ago have been found.

David Rachal，an uninvolved but experienced geoarchaeologist（地质考古学家）thought the footprint dates provided by Bennett and his team looked \"solid\"，with seeds providing very reliable and precise ages through radiocarbon dating. \"You could not ask for a better setup，\" said Rachal.However，he was puzzled that no artifacts，such as stone tools，had been found in the area.He thought it was just a theme that was gaining some serious traction in the literature.

（1）What is the most essential evidence dating the time in the passage？ A A.The aquatic plant seeds. B.The fossilized human footprints. C.The unearthed tools. D.The massive ice sheets.

（2）Why does the author mention Chiquihuite Cave in central Mexico？ A.To introduce a historical site.

B.To show the significance of the footprints. C.To compare geoarchaeological discoveries. D.To explain the course of making a discovery.

（3）What's David Rachal's attitude towards the new discovery？ D A.Optimistic and trustful. B.Conservative and cautious.

C.Negative but curious. D.Favorable but confused.

（4）What is the passage mainly about？ C A.The discovery of human footprints. B.Scientific methods of dating footprints. C.The earlier arrival of people in North America. D.A discussion on human history among researchers.

【解答】（1）A.细节理解题。根据第二段中\"…and his colleagues studied 61 footprints by radiocarbon dating layers of aquatic （水生的） plant seeds preserved above and below the footprints and accurately dated they were made 21，000 to 23，000 years ago. （……他和同事对61个足迹进行了放射性碳年代测定，这些足迹上下保存着水生植物种子层，并准确地确定了它们的形成时间为2.1万至2.3万年前）\"，可知确定文章中时间的最重要的证据是水生植物的种子。故选A项。

（2）B.推理判断题。根据第四段中\"Their finding also makes it possible to explore the older and more controversial sites with a different light.One such site is Chiquihuite Cave in central Mexico（他们的发现也使我们有可能用不同的眼光来探索更古老、更有争议的遗址。墨西哥中部的Chiquihuite洞穴就是这样一个遗址）\"，可知作者提到了墨西哥中部的Chiquihuite 洞穴以显示足迹的意义。故选B项。

（3）D.情感态度题。根据最后一段中\"David Rachal，an uninvolved but experienced geoarchaeologist （地质考古学家） thought the footprint dates provided by Bennett and his team looked \"solid\"，with seeds providing very reliable and precise ages through radiocarbon dating. （David Rachal，一位没有参与其中但经验丰富的地质考古学家认为，Bennett和他的团队提供的足迹年代看起来是\"可靠的\"，通过放射性碳测年，种子提供了非常可靠和精确的年代）\"和\"However，he was puzzled that no artifacts，such as stone tools，had been found in the area. （然而，令他感到困惑的是，在该地区没有发现石器等手工艺品）\"，可推知David Rachal对这项新发现持赞许但困惑的态度。故选D项。

（4）C.主旨大意题。根据第一段中\"But recent discoveries have suggested humans might have been there earlier.Researchers studying fossilized human footprints in New Mexico say that humans were there at least 23，000 years ago. （但最近的发现表明，人类可能在更早的时候就在那里了。在新墨西哥州研究人类脚印化石的研究人员表示，人类至少在23000年

前就在那里了）\"和第二段中\"…indicating humans must have been there much earlier than previously thought （……这表明人类在那里的时间肯定比之前认为的要早得多）\"，可知，本文主要讲述了新墨西哥州的研究人员通过研究古代足迹认为人类可能比之前认为的更早就到达了北美。故选C项。

5．（12.5分）Do you find it easy to start books but struggle to finish them？Does your TBR（to﹣be﹣read）list overwhelm you？

This happened to me in February.I had 10 books on my currently﹣reading list.Despite this，I was tempted to start a new book every three to four days.（1） G .But this time，I figured the problem is with me and not with the books I am reading.With so many half﹣read books waiting to be finished，I was overwhelmed.

（2） .For this，I systematically created a framework that allowed me to finish 4 of these books in 10 days.Mind you，I did this with a 9﹣hour day job and some writing on the side too.

The first thing I did was declutter（清理）my TBR list.（3） E .So I just picked books I wanted to finish and abandoned the rest.As hard as it seemed，dropping some books out of reading list actually created a much﹣needed space for me to focus on one book at a time and finish it.

Another way I tried is to avoid the SOS Trap.SOS refers to people repeatedly leaving their current pursuits for a newer pursuit.It is easy to get carried with SOS in reading too.You're reading a book，and you spot another one you're tempted to start reading.（4） A .To escape the reader's SOS trap，I committed to one book at a time before starting a new one.

I also used James Altucher's day analysis technique to analyze my day.With the help of a data usage app，I figured out how much time I spent unnecessarily on the web.（5） C .By sticking to this routine，I finished a long﹣pending book in three days.

A.This is exactly how our reading list piles up B.Starting March，I decided to get back on track C.I cut some of this time and devoted it to reading

D.It helped me focus and progress more efficiently E.The sight of too many books in the list was overwhelming F.To start again，I searched the Internet for professional advice G.Sometimes the book itself is so boring that you struggle to finish it

（2）B．细节理解题。根据下文\"For this，I systematically created a framework that allowed me to finish 4 of these books in 10 days. （为此，我系统地创建了一个框架，让我在10天内完成其中的4本书。）\"可知，此处内容与作者决定回到正轨有关，且下文的代词this指的是选项B的I decided to get back on track这件事，选项B\"Starting March，I decided to get back on track （从三月开始，我决定回到正轨。）\"符合题意。故选B。

（3）E．推理判断题。根据上文\"The first thing I did was declutter （清理） my TBR list. （我做的第一件事就是清理我的TBR列表）\"和下文\"So I just picked books I wanted to finish and abandoned the rest. （所以我只挑了我想看完的书，剩下的就不管了。）\"可知，此处内容与作者觉得书单上的书太多了有关，选项E\"The sight of too many books in the list was overwhelming （名单上的书太多了，简直让人受不了。）\"符合题意。故选E。

（4）A．推理判断题。根据上文\"You're reading a book，and you spot another one you're tempted to start reading. （你正在看一本书，然后你发现了另一本书，你又想开始读。）\"可知，此处内容与指出阅读清单堆积的原因有关，选项A\"This is exactly how our reading list piles up （这正是我们的阅读清单堆积的原因。）\"符合题意。故选A。

（5）C．细节理解题。根据上文\"With the help of a data usage app，I figured out how much time I spent unnecessarily on the web. （在一款数据使用应用的帮助下，我计算出自己在网络上不必要地花费了多少时间。）\"可知，此处内容与作者节省了在网络上的不必要时间去进行阅读有关，选项C\"I cut some of this time and devoted it to reading （我把一部分时间节省下来用于阅读。）\"符合题意。故选C。

7．（15分）Experts are working hard to provide accurate weather reports for the 14th National Games.This year，the games are featuring 35 competitive sports，with most events（1） scheduled （schedule）to take place in 13 cities or zones across Shaanxi.They（2） opened （open）on September 15 and will close on September 27，but some events had already been completed before the opening ceremony，including the men's soccer，men's volleyball and seven diving（3） competitions （compete）.

\"Meteorology（气象学）and sports are inseparable，\" said Cai Xinling，an expert from the Shaanxi Climate Center. \"Bad weather such as rainstorms and（4） extremely （extreme）high temperatures can cause outdoor events to be delayed.Other factors，including wind and humidity，also have an impact（5） on the athletes' performances，\" she said，（6） adding （add） that wind can have a great influence on certain events. \"For example，in events such as the javelin and discus （标枪铁饼），a light head wind can increase lift，（7） which is beneficial to performances. \"

She noted that too much water vapor in the air can make（8） it difficult for the

athletes to breathe easily and perform well.But for marathons，a little rain will make the runners feel comfortable and even can make them get a（9） higher （high） mark. In August 2019，a meteorological center and 65 staff members from across the province began operations in Xi'an.And now the team（10） is \\ are supported （support） by the work of other forecasters in the province.

【解答】（1）scheduled.考查过去分词。句意：今年的奥运会有35个竞技项目，大部分项目将在陕西13个城市或地区举行。此处是with的复合结构，根据events和schedule之间是被动关系，可知此处要用过去分词形式。故填scheduled。

（2）opened.考查时态。句意：奥运会于9月15日开幕，将于9月27日闭幕，但一些项目在开幕式前已经完成，包括男子足球、男子排球和七项跳水比赛。分析句子可知，此处是谓语动词，根据on September 15可知描述过去的事情，时态是一般过去时，此处要用动词的过去式。故填opened。

（3）competitions.考查名词。句意：奥运会于9月15日开幕，将于9月27日闭幕，但一些项目在开幕式前已经完成，包括男子足球、男子排球和七项跳水比赛。根据seven 可知此处要用可数名词的复数形式。故填competitions。

（4）extremely.考查副词。句意：暴雨和极端高温等恶劣天气会导致户外活动推迟。此处要用副词修饰形容词high。故填extremely。

（5）on.考查介词。句意：其他因素，包括风和湿度，也会对运动员的表现产生影响。固定短语have an impact on \"对于……有影响，对……造成冲击\"。故填on。

（6）adding.考查现在分词。句意：\"暴雨和极端高温等恶劣天气会导致户外活动推迟。其他因素，包括风和湿度，也会影响运动员的表现，\"她说，并补充道风可以对某些项目产生很大的影响。分析句子可知，句中已有谓语said，且空前无连接词，根据逻辑主语she和add之间是主动关系，可知此处要用现在分词形式。故填adding。

（7）which.考查非限制性定语从句。句意：\"例如，在标枪和铁饼等项目中，轻微的顶风可以增加升力，这对成绩有好处。\"分析句子可知，此处是一个非限制性定语从句，缺少关系代词，且关系代词在定语从句中充当主语，指代前面a light head wind can increase lift，因此关系代词要用which。故填which。

（8）it.考查代词。句意：她指出，空气中过多的水蒸气会使运动员难以轻松呼吸和取得好成绩。此处要用it作make的形式宾语，真正的宾语是to breathe easily and perform well。故填it。

（9）higher.考查比较级。句意：但是对于马拉松来说，一点小雨会让跑步者感到舒服，甚至可以让他们获得更高的分数。此处要用形容词修饰名词mark，根据even可知此处表示比较，因此要用形容词的比较级higher。故填higher。

（10）is \\ are supported.考查时态和主谓一致。句意：现在这个团队得到了该省其他预报员的支持。分析句子可知，此处是谓语动词，描述现在的事实，时态是一般现在时，且根据主语the team和support之间是被动关系，可知要用被动语态，the team可翻译为单数\"团队\"或复数\"全部队员\"，因此be动词可用is/are。故填is \\ are supported。 第三部分 写作（共两节，满分15分）第一节（满分15分）

A freezing downpour washed the street in front of the small﹣town bar.I sat gazing into the watery darkness，alone as usual.I had been in that old bar for half an hour，quietly drinking，when my thoughtful eyes finally focused on a medium﹣sized lump （一团） in a puddle （水洼） a hundred feet away.For another ten minutes，I looked out through the window trying to decide if the lump was an animal or just something.

The night before，a German dog named Shep had come into the bar begging for potato chips.He was starving and just the size of the lump in the puddle.Why should a dog lie in a cold puddle in the freezing rain？I asked myself.The answer was simple：Either it wasn't a dog，or it was，he was too weak to get up.

The wound in my right shoulder ached all the way down my fingers.I didn't want to go out in the storm.Hey，it wasn't my dog.It was just a stray on a cold rainy night，a lonely drifter（流浪者）.So was I，I thought，as I tossed （扔） down what was left of my drink and headed out the door.

He was lying in the three inches of water.When I touched him，he didn't move.I thought he was dead.I put my hands around his chest and raised him to his feet.He stood unsteadily，and his head hung like a weight at the end of his neck.His floppy ears were just hairless pieces of flesh dotted with open sores（伤口）.

\"Come on，Shep，\" I said，leading him to a corner next to the bar，where he lay on the cold cement and closed his eyes.A block away I could see the lights of a late﹣night convenience store.It was still open.I bought three cans of dog food and fed him.He couldn't swallow but poorly look at me.He was dying! 注意：

The local vet（兽医） was still at his office，so I loaded the poor creature into a taxi and

headed there.__________.

Three days later，when I opened the door of the vet's，Shep welcomed me with wild enthusiasm.__________. 【解答】Paragraph1：

The local vet（兽医） was still at his office，so I loaded the poor creature into a taxi and headed there. .After a quick check on the poor dog，the vet shook his head with regret.He promised me he would try his utmost but Shep was unlikely to get through it unless there is a miracle.While the vet treated the sores carefully，I tried to drop water in his mouth and fed him with food bit by bit.I never gave up hope of getting him saved.Many times I would caress his neck，whispering into his ears to encourage him to hold on.【高分句型一】He was so weak that he had to stay in the vet's.【高分句型二】（作者照顾狗狗的过程） Paragraph2：

Three days later，when I opened the door of the vet's，Shep welcomed me with wild enthusiasm. .He wagged his tail from left to right as if to say \"Thank you\". He was gaining strength and improving for the better.Tears filling my eyes，I knew all our efforts were worthwhile.Soon，the dog recovered from severe sores and I adopted him and took him home.Once in a while，I would go to that bar with Shep，a drink for myself and a serve of potato chips for him.What would have happened if I hadn't stepped out on that stormy night？Care and kindness really made a difference，to both of us.（作者和狗狗互相陪伴）
