• 2．    It's a sweet moment，as a chimp reaches up to kiss his mother's face.The touching photo was taken by the famous conservationist and activist Jane Goodall in 1993 in Gombe National Park in northwest Tanzania where she has studied chimpanzees for more than six decades.
      The image is part of Vital Impacts consisting of a group of 100 photographers.The women-led non-profit was founded by award-winning photographer Ami Vitale and visual journalist Eileen Mignoni.They are selling fine arts images，most of which focus on wildlife and nature，with earnings benefiting conservation organizations including Jane Goodall Institute's Roots and Shoots program.
      "Our purpose is to use photography to create awareness and understanding；to help us see that the survival of the planet is closely connected with our own survival.As photographers，we have a huge opportunity to inform and influence change，but pressing the shutter（快門） is just the start，"Vitale said.
      "For an image to have significance，it needs to reach people.To this end，we are working to get the photographs of Vital Impacts photographers and our students into high-profile media and exhibitions around the world."
      The organization gives special attention to photographers who are committed to the planet.Funds will be used to support global conservation and environmental initiatives and the group will offer two ﹩20，000 environmental storytelling awards.
      Vital Impacts has raised more than ﹩1.5 million from the sale of fine art prints since the organization was set up in late 2021.Some of its profits were donated to the organization Direct Relief，which shipped more than 1，400 tons of medical supplies value d at ﹩545 million to support 351 healthcare equipment in disaster zones.Other profits were able to provide fuel and vehicle assistance to support wildlife corridors（廊道），a monitoring program，and the restoration of the Snake River in the Pacific Northwest.

• 3．    Two years ago，enormous fires swept through some 46 million acres of forest in Russia，the country's worst fire season on record.Now，researchers have a clearer sense of just how significant the 2021 boreal（北方的） forest fires were in terms of emissions.
      The study showed that for the past decade or so，boreal forests，especially forests in the uppermost reaches of Alaska，Canada，and Russia，have steadily become drier and hotter as heat waves and drought affected the environment.Fires in boreal forests are a normal part of the life cycle of trees that grow there.But climate change is throwing that cycle out of whack.Just in the past handful of years，forests in northern latitudes（緯度） reached a tipping point and started to produce far more emissions than usual.
      The researchers obtained the data for their study by tracking concentrations of emissions in the atmosphere using satellites，and then they put that information into a computer model to determine where，geographically，those emissions came from.They found that boreal forests，which typically produce about 10 percent of the globe's annual wildfire emissions，accounted for 23 percent of the world's wildfire emissions in 2021 — more than twice as much as normal.While previous analyses have regarded 2021 as a particularly destructive year for boreal forests，the study is a valuable contribution to the field because it" offers meaningful insights about where fire emissions increased the most within boreal regions and provides potential explanations for why those emissions are increasing，"said Canadell，one author of the study.
      Canadell's biggest worry is the study's main conclusion：boreal forests have served an important and underappreciated role in reducing carbon emissions，but climate change threatens to release that stored carbon. "We need to be very careful with these systems in terms of their future evolution，"he said.
  
  （1）What does the underlined part"out of whack" in paragraph 2 probably mean？

  
  A．Out of date.
  B．Out of place.
  C．Out of order.
  D．Out of sight.
  （2）How did the scientists get necessary data？

  
  A．By using modern technology.
  B．By analyzing previous data.
  C．By turning to citizen scientists.
  D．By downloading them from the Internet.
  （3）What is the significance of the study？

  
  A．It worked out the solution to the emission problem.
  B．It found out the year 2021 was destructive for forests.
  C．It filled a gap in the study of the function of boreal forests.
  D．It pointed out the reason for increased emissions in boreal areas.
  （4）How does Canadell feel about the findings？

  
  A．Surprised.
  B．Concerned.
  C．Satisfied.
  D．Disappointed.

• 9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
      The air was thick with humidity（潮濕） inside the swimming pool hall as Elisha paced nervously near the starting blocks.The chlorine（氯氣） in the air stung（使刺痛） her eyes，but these were mild concerns compared to the matter which seemed largest in her mind：the result of the state semi-finals（半決賽）.The young 16-year-old had trained hard and devoted her entire life so far to swimming.Almost as soon as she could walk，Elisha had taken like a fish to the water and gave her whole body，mind，and spirit to the sport.
      She always loved being in the water，whether to cool off on a hot summer's day or to forget about her troubles at school — the waves simply curried it all away.But for Elisha，swimming was not merely for recreation.Her father，a retired athlete-turned-coach，always pushed Elisha to find out the extent of her talents and abilities.Her whole family，in fact，were full of amateur and professional athletes，especially her older brothers and sisters who had gone on to play in the NCSA at university.
      There was no way she could let them all down.Not here，and not now.Finally，the time had come：the 400-meter medley（混合泳） relay.In a team of four swimmers，she was the last one to go in the relay.It would be all on her to secure first place for her team.She had done well in the swimming meet so far，but this last relay would determine whether she and her team would move on to the state finals.It all came down to her to bring it home.
      At the sound of the buzzer（蜂鳴器），the swimmers all dove into the water.Kaycee with the freestyle stroke，Lizzie with the breaststroke，and finally Susan with the backstroke.Elisha's heart pounded as she readied herself for take-off.
  注意：
  （1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為 150 左右；
  （2）請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
      Just as Susan was coming in close，a small child fell into the deep end of the pool.
  _____
     Elisha，out of breath，pulled herself up out of the pool.
