67. 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。 In the years that followed, people in our village worked hard to carry out our plan. _______________
I met the Man of the Trees in summer ten years ago, when I was visiting Uncle Jita. ______________________________________________________________________________________
Those were difficult times. People were cutting down our forest, and there was often flooding. ______________________________________________________________________________________
Sometimes our water supply was dirty. When our pump(水泵)did have clean water, we had to wait in line ______________________________________________________________________________________
for ages. When the pump wasn’t working, we had to walk five kilometers to the closest stream. ______________________________________________________________________________________
But I was happy. I was going to see my favorite uncle. When the day finally arrived, Dad drove me to
Uncle Jita’s house and left. Once he saw me, Uncle Jita announced, “Tomorrow we’re going to explore a
magical place. Here is my camera, Amy. You can take photos of what you see.”
The following day, we woke up and left early on a boat. The trip was exciting. But when we got off,
there was ... nothing in front of us. “I don’t want to take pictures of this,” I complained.
Uncle laughed, “Start walking, Amy. I promise you’ll be surprised.” After some time, I could see the
outline of a forest in the distance. A little closer, there was a man waving to us.
“That’s Kabir. The forest you see is his. He planted every single tree.” As we walked towards Kabir,
Uncle explained that thirty years ago, the whole area was a wasteland. But one day Kabir decided to
change all that and started planting trees. Thanks to him, part of the wasteland is now a paradise(天堂).
Uncle introduced me to Kabir, who had gray hair and a determined face. “Jita told me you like
animals. Are you ready to see some?” he asked. “Of course!” I replied. We continued walking and soon
were under the trees. I turned my head and was amazed at the difference between the two places. All
because of the efforts of one man.
Like Uncle said, Kabir’s forest was magical. We saw deer, rhinos, and even tigers. During lunchtime,
Kabir explained how, by planting trees, it was possible to stop the land from eroding(侵蚀).

详解:
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章是 Marist School 写给孩子要申请该校 2024——2025 学年 6 年级和 8 年级的家长的,希
望他们注意申请时应该注意哪些方面,尤其是各个事项的截止点。
21.推理判断题。根据第一段的“We are thrilled you are considering Marist School for your child’s next chapter. Marist has two
primary entry points for students in 7th and 9th grades to which we typically accept 150 and 50 students respectively.(我们很
高兴你考虑在圣母学校开启你孩子的下一个篇章。马里斯特大学为七年级和九年级的学生提供两个主要入学点,我们
通常分别接收 150 名和 50 名学生)”可知,圣母学校开启孩子的下一个篇章,招收 7 年级和 9 年级的学生,因此推断本
文针对的读者是孩子即将入读七年级和九年级的家长们,现在应该是 6 年级和 8 年级学生家长。故选 C。
22.细节理解题。根据第二段的“Marist School utilizes Ravenna, an application management system, for all aspects of the
admissions process. Through Ravenna, parents can access the Marist application, submit supporting materials, track application
status, and view admission decisions. (玛丽斯特学校在招生过程的各个方面都使用了申请管理系统 Ravenna。通过
Ravenna,家长可以访问马里斯特申请,提交支持材料,跟踪申请状态,并查看录取决定)”可知,Ravenna 可处理入学
申请。故选 A。
23.细节理解题。根据表格左上角“September 2023 - March 2024(2023 年 9 月- 2024 年 3 月)”和第六栏“Deadline for Marist
to receive any outstanding supplemental materials; transcripts, teacher and administrator evaluations, and parish/church
verification form are due(Marist 收到任何未完成的补充材料的截止日期;成绩单,教师和行政人员的评估,以及教区/教
堂的验证表)”以及时间“February 1, 2024(2024 年 2 月 1 日)”可知,学校重大事件安排的总体时间为 2023 年 9 月- 2024
年 3 月,而接收教师评定的截止日是 2024 年 2 月 1 日,结合选项,B 项“2024 年 1 月 26 日”符合要求。故选 B。
B
24.C 25.D 26.B 27.A
详解:
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了 Abraham Ortelius 及其绘制的第一本现代地图集《世界概貌》。
24.推理判断题。根据第二段中“Ortelius was fond of new discoveries and travel, so he began collecting books, prints,
paintings, wall maps, and coins from all over Europe.(奥特留斯喜欢新发现和旅行,所以他开始从欧洲各地收集书籍、印刷
品、绘画、挂图和硬币)”可知,Abraham Ortelius 对世界充满了好奇心。故选C。
25.词句猜测题。根据划线词后的“It had to be re- printed 4 times in the first year of publishing. Between 1570 and 1612 the
atlas was published in 42 editions in 7 languages.(在出版的第一年,它不得不重印了4次。1570年至 1612 年间,该地图
集以7 种语言出版了 42 个版本)”可知,这本地图集很快就受到了欢迎。由此可知,划线词 traction 意为“受欢迎”。故选
D。
26.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“At the time the map was made — much of North America was yet to be explored — so
naturally, large parts of the geography were merely theoretical. The eastern seaboard stuck out eastward, illustrating the
inaccurate measurements of longitudes (经度) at the time. It’s also interesting to note that the Mississippi River did not appear
on the map, and there was no sign of the Great Lakes.(在地图制作的时候,北美的大部分地区还没有被探索,所以自然地,
大部分地理区域只是理论上的。东海岸向东突出,说明当时对经度的测量是不准确的。同样有趣的是,地图上没有密
西西比河,也没有五大湖的迹象)”可知,Typus Orbis Terrarium 这幅地图不够细化和精准。故选B。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the map actually contains some of the best collection work of the period, and
represents a huge shift in the history of mapmaking. It is the hallmark world map of the first atlas ever published.(然而,这幅地
图实际上包含了该时期一些最好的收集工作,并代表了地图制作史上的一个巨大转变。这是有史以来出版的第一本地
图集的标志性世界地图)”可推知,作者对其持赞赏态度。故选A。
C
28.B 29.A 30.D 31.C
详解:
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要阐述了空气污染可能会降低身体活动对大脑的益处。
28.主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“A large body of evidence shows that exercise strengthens our brains. (大量证据表明,
运动可以增强我们的大脑。)”以及最后一句“Partly as a consequence of these, exercise is strongly linked with lower risks of
dementia(痴呆) and other memory problems with age.(部分由于这些原因,运动与降低痴呆症和其他随年龄增长而出现的
记忆问题的风险有着密切的联系。)”可知第一段主要阐述锻炼对大脑的益处。故选B.

quality. Public policy could be used to address people’s exposure to air pollution during exercise. (这些研究增加了制定与空

Dear John,
Glad to know you're interested in the first Campus Culture Festival with the theme of The Beauty of Chinese Traditional
Culture held last week. I’m writing to inform you of some relevant information.
The festival consisted of various activities, such as an ancient poetry recitation contest on Tuesday afternoon and a
week-long exhibition, where hundreds of students’ traditional Chinese paining and calligraphy works were on display.
Additionally, several celebrated actors were invited to perform Beijing Opera in the auditorium on Friday evening.
All the teachers and students thought highly of it and regarded it as a golden chance to gain a deeper insight into Chinese
traditional culture.
Looking toward to your early reply.
Yours
Li Hua
