Each student will create their own 3-D Polar display including the landscape and animals such as polar bears, penguins and whales while learning about basic shapes and color mixing.可知，在这个创造性的实践工作坊探索北极和南极!在学习基本的形状和颜色混合的过程中，每位学生将创建自己的3D极地展示，包括景观和动物，如北极熊、企鹅和鲸鱼。由此推知，Jumping Clay的主要目的是帮助孩子们了解北极和南极。故选D。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据Vocation Destination部分中的A variety of theme-based activities are provided throughout the day and include enrichment and recreational activities such as sewing, sports & games, arts & crafts and science activities.可知，全天提供各种主题活动，包括丰富的娱乐活动，如缝纫、运动和游戏、工艺美术和科学活动。由此可知，Vocation Destination提供科学活动。再根据该部分提供的开放时间表可知，‎2021年4月12日，孩子能够参加科学活动。故选C。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据ERfC Counselors in Trainning Team for High School Students部分中的Students in grades 9-12 who are looking to develop leadership skills are encouraged to join the ERfC CIT Team.可知，鼓励9-12年级希望发展领导才能的学生加入ERfC创新团队。由此可知，ERfC CIT Team适合一个下学期想竞选班长的学生。故选C。‎ B Researchers in the field often use camera traps to remotely photograph the lives of animals. These stationary cameras have a sensor that is triggered(启动，引发) by heat or movement, letting ‎ researchers monitor animals without disturbing them.‎ The traps can be used for months at a time sometimes catching hundreds of thousands of images. But these images, and the valuable information they reveal, typically just sit on researchers’ hard drives, unavailable to anyone else, according to Jorge Ahumada, a scientist at environmental nonprofit Conservation International. So he launched Wildlife Insights, an online platform where researchers could share their photos. His idea is to encourage teamwork between biologists and wildlife conservation organizations, and bring camera trap footage(片断) to the fore of conservation efforts.‎ The site uses Artificial Intelligence designed by Google to overcome a key problem with these kinds of photos: camera traps produce an astronomical number of images to manually analyze, says Ahumada, many of which are blank images where the camera was triggered by its surroundings and not by wildlife. Manually sorting and deleting these photos is a laborious task.‎ To get around that, after someone uploads footage to the Wildlife Insights database, its AI checks if the image was taken from a camera trap and automatically removes all blank images. If there is an animal in the image, the AI will identify the species.‎ As well as collecting and reviewing the photos, the platform will provide analytics that could reveal trends in species’ population for different projects. That information could help researchers understand whether a species is increasing its range or if its numbers are dwindling.‎ While open access is key, the platform has taken steps to make sure this information doesn’t get into the wrong hands. “You will have to ask Wildlife Insights for permission to get the locations of the images,” says Ahumada. “We will manage this process carefully because we know that poachers(偷猎者) could use this information to find endangered species.”‎ ‎4. What’s the purpose of Wildlife Insights?‎ A. To raise money for wildlife protection.‎ B. To monitor wildlife in an undisturbed way.‎ C. To encourage researchers to set camera traps.‎ D. To make camera trap images available to the public.‎ ‎5. What key problem does the AI help to deal with?‎ A. Sorting wildlife images quickly. B. Tracking the photographed species.‎ C. Analyzing the origins of blank images. D. Checking the performance of camera traps.‎ ‎6. What does the underlined word “dwindling” in Paragraph 5 mean?‎ A. Puzzling B. Doubling C. Dropping D. Missing ‎7. Why is Wildlife Insights careful about its data?‎ A. To protect the privacy of uploaders. B. To avoid the illegal use of them.‎ C. To charge fees to stop poachers. D. To ensure the accuracy of them.‎ ‎【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。野外的研究人员经常使用相机陷阱远程拍摄动物的生活，这些图像以及它们所揭示的有价值的信息，通常只存在于研究人员的硬盘上，其他人无法获取，所以科学家Jorge Ahumada推出了一个名为“Wildlife Insights”的在线平台，使相机陷阱拍摄到的图像对公众开放。文章还介绍了该网站应用到的一些技术以及提供的信息所产生的影响。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段中“So he launched Wildlife Insights, an online platform where researchers could share their photos. His idea is to encourage teamwork between biologists and wildlife conservation organizations, and bring camera trap footage(片断) to the fore of conservation efforts.”可知因此，他推出了一个名为“Wildlife Insights”的在线平台，供研究人员分享他们的照片。他的想法是鼓励生物学家和野生动物保护组织之间的团队合作，并将相机捕捉的镜头带到保护工作的前沿。由此可知，Wildlife Insights的目的是使相机陷阱图像对公众开放。故选D。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段“The site uses Artificial Intelligence designed by Google to overcome a key problem with these kinds of photos: camera traps produce an astronomical number of images to manually analyze, says Ahumada, many of which are blank images where the camera was triggered by its surroundings and not by wildlife. Manually sorting and deleting these photos is a laborious task.”可知Ahumada说，该网站使用谷歌设计的人工智能来克服这类照片的一个关键问题：相机陷阱产生了天文数字的图像，需要手动分析，其中许多是空白图像，相机是由周围环境触发的，而不是野生动物。手动分类和删除这些照片是一项繁重的任务。由此可知，人工智能帮助处理快速分类野生动物图像的关键问题。故选A。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“That information could help researchers understand whether a species is increasing its range or if its numbers are”可知这些信息可以帮助研究人员了解一个物 种的活动范围是在扩大还是在减少。由此可知，画线词意思为“减少”。A. Puzzling使……迷惑；B. Doubling翻倍；C. Dropping下降，减少；D. Missing错过。故选C。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据最后一段“While open access is key, the platform has taken steps to make sure this information doesn’t get into the wrong hands. ‘You will have to ask Wildlife Insights for permission to get the locations of the images,’ says Ahumada. ‘We will manage this process carefully because we know that poachers(偷猎者) could use this information to find endangered species.’”可知尽管开放获取是关键，但该平台已采取措施确保这些信息不会落入坏人之手。Ahumada说：“你必须获得野生动物观察组织的许可才能得到照片的位置。我们会小心处理这个过程，因为我们知道偷猎者可以利用这些信息来寻找濒危物种。”由此可知，Wildlife Insights对其数据如此谨慎是为了避免非法使用。故选B。‎ C EcoTreasures, a young tour company based in Sydney, have involved a new plan in their Manly Coastal Walks to remove marine debris from Penguin habitats.‎ The tour company specializes in Ecotourism experiences on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and within Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, New South Wales. Ecotreasures have been lucky to host a range of international study tour students visiting Sydney this winter, who have been participating in the plan. The students arrive in Australia for short stays of generally 7—14 days, which consist of English lessons and Australia tour experiences. EcoTreasures owner, Damien McClellan, has been happy to host the students on his tours and to involve a new element in the half-day adventure, with a purpose to clean up marine debris that accumulates in the natural environment known to be the habitat for little penguins.‎ McClellan has been very proud to run these tours, which highlight a range of environmental awareness messages, and mentions, “when we visit the little penguin habitat at Collins Beach in Sydney Harbour National Park we conduct a beach clean-up. The students always put in 110% and we remove as much as marine debris from the catchment(积水处) as possible. We are all giving back to the location we are appreciating because of its natural beauty, and I’m proud of all these international guests caring for Australia’s environment.”‎ The tours offer a great display of Sydney’s natural setting right on the city’s door step. Mr. McClellan also adds, “The students and teachers really enjoy their experience on the walk around ‎ Manly. We visit the beach, Sydney‎ Harbour ‎National Park, Cabbage tree Aquatic reserve and Manly suburbs all in a half day adventure. We always keep the walk fun and interesting by identifying native plants & searching for Whales from land with binoculars and other wildlife along the way.”‎ EcoTreasures was founded in 2010 by Damien McClellan, and the business is looking forward to working with more partners in the future, developing new ecotourism plans for a range of target markets, and keeping it fun is part of the plan. EcoTreasures is Advanced Ecotourism and ROC certified.‎ ‎8. What does EcoTreasures mainly specialize in?‎ A. protecting Little Penguins.‎ B. teaching students about environmental protection.‎ C. cleaning up penguin habitats.‎ D. holding ecotours in certain areas.‎ ‎9. The underlined word “debris” in Paragraph 1 has a similar meaning to _________‎ A. water B. animal C. trash D. rock.‎ ‎10. What does Mr. McClellan want to express in the third paragraph?‎ A. His appreciation for natural beauty.‎ B. His purpose to run the tours.‎ C. His pride to run the tours.‎ D. The importance of raising environmental awareness.‎ ‎11. We can infer from the fourth paragraph that ____________.‎ A. the tours are pleasant and valuable.‎ B. the tours make the students tired.‎ C. the tours are held far from Sydney.‎ D. the tours are held mainly for students ‎【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了悉尼的一家旅游公司在其组织的旅游活动中注入新元素——通过海滩漫步来清除企鹅栖息地的海洋垃圾。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The tour company specializes in Ecotourism experiences on ‎ Sydney’s Northern Beaches and within Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park,”（这家旅游公司专注于悉尼北部海滩和新南威尔士州Ku ring gai Chase国家公园内的生态旅游体验）可知，EcoTreasures专注于在在某些地区建立生态保护区，故选D项。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Eco Treasures owner, Damien McClellan, has been happy to host the students on his tours and to involve a new element in the half-day adventure, with a purpose to clean up marine debris that accumulates in the natural environment known to be the habitat for little penguins.”可知，Eco Treasures的老板达米恩·麦克莱伦很高兴地邀请学生们参加他的旅行，并在半天的探险中加入新的元素，目的是清理在小企鹅栖息地自然环境中堆积的海洋垃圾，因此这项新计划就是清除企鹅栖息地的海洋垃圾，由此可知画线词词义为“垃圾”，故选C项。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“McClellan has been very proud to run these tours, which highlight a range of environmental awareness messages”可知，组织这些旅游活动令麦克莱伦感到很自豪，因为它们突出了一系列环保意识信息，由此可知，麦克莱伦在该段主要想表达组织这些旅游活动的自豪感，故选C项。‎ ‎11题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The students and teachers really enjoy their experience on the walk around Manly. We visit the beach, Sydney Harbour National Park, Cabbage tree Aquatic reserve and Manly suburbs all in a half day adventure. We always keep the walk fun and interesting by identifying native plants & searching for Whales from land with binoculars and other wildlife along the way.”（学生和老师真的很享受他们在曼利散步的经历。我们游览了海滩、悉尼港国家公园、卷心菜树水生保护区和曼利郊区。我们总是通过辨认本地植物，用双筒望远镜寻找陆地上的鲸鱼和其他野生动物来保持行走的乐趣和趣味性）可知，这些旅游活动是令人愉快又有价值的，故选A项。‎ D I’ve been teaching college for many years, long enough to note the steady relaxation of attention in matters of student dress. I’ve long been used to the torn jeans, shorts in the dead of the Maine winter, and ball caps worn backward. Still, I took note recently when one of my students showed up in sleep bottoms. I’m familiar with the school of thought that says how students dress is irrelevant, so long as they’re learning. But I also wonder about the wisdom of blurring(模糊) the line between bed and desk.‎ I smile when I think back on the occasions that my parents associated us with needing to look tidy and neat. Once, when I was 14 and my brother 12, my father announced that he was taking us into Manhattan (just a subway ride away) to see the film “2001: A Space Odyssey.” My brother and I were excited by the proposal, but were momentarily upset when my father directed us to put on our best clothes, including jackets and ties. “But why?” I begged, not wanting to change out of my comfortable jeans, T-shirt, and sneakers.‎ ‎“Because,” he said, “we’re going to New York.”‎ I can still see the stars in his eyes as he said these words.‎ So yes, I’m all for freedom of choice in matters of dress, and yes, I do want my students to be comfortable. But I also want to pay my respects to those students who believe that appearance counts.‎ I think of the woman – a somewhat older student—I had in class a few years ago. She was someone to whom science did not come easily: She worked hard for respectable grades on every assignment. But I was struck by how tastefully she dressed, day after day. When the course ended, I took a moment to mention this to her. “You always looked so nice,” I remarked. “As if you were ready to take on the world.‎ She answered, as if it were obvious, “I’ve waited 12 years to return to school, and I dress up to remind myself to be serious about it.”‎ And, I might add, she seemed perfectly comfortable to me.‎ ‎12. What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 1?‎ A. Excitement. B. Curiosity. C. Sympathy. D. Discontent.‎ ‎13. What do we know about the author’s father?‎ A. He valued a sense of ceremony in life. B. He liked wearing comfortable clothes.‎ C. He always thought highly of himself. D. He was a regular movie-goer.‎ ‎14. Why did the woman earn the author’s respect?‎ A. She achieved high grades easily. B. She showed great talent for science.‎ C. She pursued knowledge at an old age. D. She attached great importance to her dress.‎ ‎15. What message does the author want to convey in the text?‎ A. You are what you wear. B. Never judge a man by his appearance.‎ C. You are never too old to learn. D. Treat each day like a special day.‎ ‎【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. A ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章中作者表达了自己对于重视自己衣着的人的尊重之情，且用自己有仪式感的父亲以及自己课堂上一位总是着装优雅的女性来说明了这一观点。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段“I’ve been teaching college for many years, long enough to note the steady relaxation of attention in matters of student dress. I’ve long been used to the torn jeans, shorts in the dead of the Maine winter, and ball caps worn backward. Still, I took note recently when one of my students showed up in sleep bottoms. I’m familiar with the school of thought that says how students dress is irrelevant, so long as they’re learning. But I also wonder about the wisdom of blurring(模糊) the line between bed and desk.”可知我在大学教了多年书，时间之长足以让我在学生着装问题上注意力逐渐放松。我已经习惯了破旧的牛仔裤，缅因州严冬的短裤，还有向后戴的棒球帽。不过，最近我注意到我的一个学生穿着睡裤出现。我很熟悉那种认为学生的穿着无关紧要，只要他们在学习的思想。但我也怀疑模糊床和书桌之间的界限是否明智。由此可推知，作者在第一段中表达了对于学生穿着睡裤上课的一种不满感受。故选D。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段中“I smile when I think back on the occasions that my parents associated us with needing to look tidy and neat. Once, when I was 14 and my brother 12, my father announced that he was taking us into Manhattan (just a subway ride away) to see the film “2001: A Space Odyssey.” My brother and I were excited by the proposal, but were momentarily upset when my father directed us to put on our best clothes, including jackets and ties.(每当我回想起父母把我们和需要整洁的形象联系在一起的时候，我就会微笑。有一次，在我14岁、我弟弟12岁的时候，父亲宣布要带我们去曼哈顿（坐地铁就到了）看电影《2001太空漫游》。我和哥哥为这一提议感到兴奋，但当父亲要求我们穿上最好的衣服，包括夹克和领带时，我们暂时有些不安)”以及第三段“ ‘Because,’ he said, ‘we’re going to New York.’(“因为，”他说，“我们要去纽约了。”)”由此可推知，作者的父亲因为要去纽约看电影就要求作者他们换上最好的衣服，说明作者父亲重视生活中的仪式感。故选A。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“She was someone to whom science did not come easily: She ‎ worked hard for respectable grades on every assignment. But I was struck by how tastefully she dressed, day after day.”可知她是一个对科学不感冒的人。她为了每门功课都能取得好成绩而努力工作。但她日复一日的穿着打扮让我印象深刻。由此可知，这个女人赢得了作者的尊重，是因为她非常重视自己的衣着。故选D。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第五段“So yes, I’m all for freedom of choice in matters of dress, and yes, I do want my students to be comfortable. But I also want to pay my respects to those students who believe that appearance counts.”可知所以，是的，我完全支持在着装方面的选择自由，是的，我确实希望我的学生们穿着舒适。但我也想对那些认为外表重要的学生表示敬意。结合文章中作者表达了自己对于重视自己衣着的人的尊重之情，且用自己有仪式感的父亲以及自己课堂上一位总是着装优雅的女性来说明了这一观点。由此可推知，作者想在文中传达“衣如其人”的信息。故选A。‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，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。‎ When you think about art, you might think of it as permanent. After all, that picture you drew in kindergarten might still hang on your refrigerator years later. ___16___ Think about a Broadway performance. When it’s over, it’s over. Sure, it might live on in your memory or on film. But the live show was a special event. It was limited to one time and place.‎ Can you think of other forms of art that are temporary? ___17___ Have you ever spent hours building a beautiful sandcastle? If you have, you probably were sad when it was time to leave the beach. You knew your work of art would be gone as soon as the tide came in. The sandy beach is a canvas(油画布) that nature erases daily.‎ Most of the time, art made from sand can’t last long. Still, many people love using sand to create their own unique vision of beauty. ___18___ It is a type of live performance art. Artists who work in sand animation use sand to make a set of images that usually tell a story. They often start with a large amount of sand on a flat surface, such as a table. They then use their hands and fingers to draw in the sand.‎ ‎___19___ However, the wide variety of beautiful and highly-detailed sand artworks might surprise you. Many of these works of art are temporary. That’s where the animation part comes in.‎ Sand animation artists create a series of images that move to tell a story. They might also use music and special lighting to complete the effect. Sometimes they take photographs of or video their creation throughout the process. ___20___‎ A. Not all works of art are permanent, though.‎ B. Sand animation is beautiful but lasts only at the moment.‎ C. If you’re a fan of the beach, sandcastles might come to mind.‎ D. One of the most attractive types of sand art is sand animation.‎ E. Then, they turn it into a sand animation movie when it’s finished.‎ F. It might seem like using sand would limit the art you could make.‎ G. Building a sand castle is a family-friendly activity perfect for large groups.‎ ‎【答案】16. A 17. C 18. D 19. F 20. E ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“沙画”这种艺术形式，介绍了其特点以及制作过程。‎ ‎【16题详解】‎ 根据上文“When you think about art, you might think of it as permanent. After all, that picture you drew in kindergarten might still hang on your refrigerator years later.(当你想到艺术时，你可能会认为它是永恒的。毕竟，你在幼儿园画的那幅画可能几年后还会挂在冰箱上)”以及后文“Think about a Broadway performance. When it’s over, it’s over. Sure, it might live on in your memory or on film. But the live show was a special event. It was limited to one time and place.( 想想百老汇的演出。结束了，就结束了。当然，它可能活在你的记忆里或电影里。但是现场表演是一个特殊的事件。它被限制在一个时间和地点)”由此可知，后文提到百老汇的演出结束了就是结束了，只能存在于记忆中，说明本句与上文形成转折，说明并不是所有的艺术作品都是永久的。故A选项“不过，并不是所有的艺术作品都是永久的”符合语境，故选A。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 根据上文“Can you think of other forms of art that are temporary?(你还能想到其他暂时的艺术形式吗?)”以及后文“Have you ever spent hours building a beautiful sandcastle?(你曾经花了几个小时建造一个美丽的沙堡吗？)”由此可知，后文提到了沙堡这种短暂的艺术形式，可推知本句是在说明沙滩上堆沙堡的事情，从而引出后文。后文中sandcastle可对应到C选项中sandcastles。故C选项“如果你喜欢沙滩，你可能会想到沙堡”符合语境，故选C。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 根据上文“Most of the time, art made from sand can’t last long. Still, many people love using sand to create their own unique vision of beauty.(大多数时候，用沙子做的艺术品不会持续太久。尽管如此，还是有很多人喜欢用沙子来创造自己独特的美景)”以及后文“It is a type of live performance art. Artists who work in sand animation use sand to make a set of images that usually tell a story. They often start with a large amount of sand on a flat surface, such as a table. They then use their hands and fingers to draw in the sand.(它是一种现场表演艺术。从事沙画的艺术家们用沙子制作一组图像，通常讲述一个故事。他们通常从平面上的大量沙子开始，比如桌子。然后他们用手和手指在沙子里画画)”由此可知，本句为过渡句，引出后文沙画这种沙子艺术类型，后文中it对应到D选项中sand animation。故D选项“最吸引人的沙子艺术类型之一是沙画”符合语境，故选D。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 根据后文“However, the wide variety of beautiful and highly-detailed sand artworks might surprise you.( 然而，各种各样的美丽和高度细致的沙子艺术品可能会让你惊讶)”由此可知，本句与后文形成转折，提出沙子看起来可能会限制艺术创作，实际上沙子艺术品非常多样化。故F选项“看起来用沙子会限制你的艺术创作”符合语境，故选F。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 根据上文“Sand animation artists create a series of images that move to tell a story. They might also use music and special lighting to complete the effect.
