Scientists believe that due to climate change，Kivalina，in northwestern Alaska，will be underwater by 2025. The sea around Kivalina continues to rise，the storms get stronger，and the ice gets thinner.

Kivalina City Council member Colleen Swan says the villagers rely for food mostly on what the environment，especially the ocean，provides for them.“Its been our way to make a living for hundreds of years，”she says.“During the winter months the ice is part of our landscape，because we go out there and we set up camps and hunt. We were able to see the changes years ago.”In May，June and July，the men go out on the ice hunting bearded seals. They cut up the seals，dry them and store them for the winter. At about the start of this century，they noticed the season started two weeks early and the ice began to thin sooner than before. Now the hunters must keep a close eye on the ice. If they dont，they could miss the hunting season.

The Arctic is warming about twice as fast as the global average，so sea ice is forming on the Kivalina coastline later in the year and melting faster in the spring and summer. The lack of sea ice makes the island vulnerable to erosion（侵蝕）from storms that occur regularly in the fall；it also means warmer waters，which increase the seriousness of storms that hit the island.

“We just had a minor storm last fall，”Swan says.“When we got that storm last fall，I decided Im just going to go to sleep. Im tired of worrying，I want to get some rest. The next morning when I woke up，I saw the impacts from a minor storm and how quickly the water rose，and I realized that was a very dangerous thing for me to do，to sleep，to not face the reality of that night.”

24. In order not to miss hunting seals，when should hunters start their preparations now？

A. Before mid-April.

B. In early May.

C. In May through July.

D. Before storms come.

25. What is the most serious consequence of the lack of sea ice？

A. A larger ice-free port comes into being.

B. Dried seals are found nowhere to store.

C. The communities are washed away more seriously.

D. Villagers have harder access to clean drinking water.

26.What kind of reality do they have to face every day in the fall？

A. Measuring the ice before sleep.

B. Watching the situation of storms.

C. Worrying about their childrens education.

D. Researching when they can set up hunting camps.

27. What does the underlined word“vulnerable”in Paragraph 3 mean？

A. likely to become angry

B. able to be attacked by the enemy

C. needing to be dealt with carefully

D. easy to be damaged by harmful things

When was the last time you had a roll of film developed？ For many，our digital devices are datebook，rolodex and camera all in one. But moments captured（捕捉）on film are finding a second life through a project based in Idaho.

In his darkroom，Levi Bettwieser skillfully unspools，cuts and winds a roll of film into a canister（膠片盒）. He washes it in several chemicals， waits a few minutes，then takes it out and holds it up to the light.

Bettwieser didnt take these pictures，and he doesnt work for a developing lab. Cameras have always been a part of his life. So when he started looking for old cameras in thrift stores，he was surprised to find that some still had film in them.

He tried to develop them anyway———and it worked.All the images from those rolls were nothing more than birthday parties and vacations and things like that. But he realized that those were important mo原ments for people. He searches here and there for unde原veloped film（some from the 1930s）then posts his find原ings on a website. He says his mission is to reunite film owners with their photos———and it seemed to resonate.“People started sending me rolls of film，”he explains.

Somebody may have taken the roll decades ago，and for years the memory remained locked away. Then Bettwieser comes along and not only develops it，but records it in a digital archive.

第一节（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Washington State is home to lots of trees. But what if you lived there and couldnt chop（劈）wood or couldnt 41 to pay someone to do it？ 42，Shane McDaniel and his twin sons，Harrison and Henry，are happy to 43 an ax. They chop wood———then donate it to those in need.

The idea started 44 a father-son bonding project.“I had to cut wood with my dad. He just loved doing it，”says Shane. He wanted to 45 along that feeling， so he and the twins spent the summer of 2018 like a family of Paul Bunyans. The 46 was a great wall of wood 47 around their house.

It was too much for the McDaniels to use themselves，and 48 the weather turned cold that November，Shane started thinking of 49 . He posted on Facebook：“If you are 50firewood and cannot afford it，please PM [personal message] me！ ... If you know someone who burns wood，and theyre looking at a（n）51 house this holiday season，please help us help them. Please help me and my boys make sure no one goes cold in our hood.”

The 52 was immediate. One man 53 to donate a wood-burning furnace. Others raced over to Shanes mini-mart（雜货店）with 54 wood for the pile.

A single mom and her four-year-old daughter 55 a wood-burning stove as their only source of heat，so it was a 56 to receive a truckload of firewood from the McDaniels.“To get that much wood 57 me to tears，”she said.“So much stress and 58 is off my shoulders. I couldnt be more 59 .”

“Giving is the 60，”Shane says.“Its about how much its needed.”

第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Sometimes it can be great having English as a first language. Its a language of business，culture and entertainment，and is61（official）the most popular language to learn. However，there are also disadvantages of being raised 62 a native English speaker.

First of all，it can be incredibly difficult to communicate with native speakers of other languages when all they want to do is63（practice）their English.Sometimes theyre just doing it to be helpful. However，it doesnt exactly help the English speaker in the end. I am currently living with a native French speaker，64 finds it far easier to speak English with me than French. While its65（stress）for me to speak English，it certainly isnt helping my French much.

It might seem that English speakers are very confident and outgoing. However，when it comes to 66（learn）other languages，native English speakers are also very shy and 67（willing）to speak. As a result，they are too afraid to try and learn 68 language，for fear of looking stupid.

On the whole，Im glad that I can speak English. However，69（be）a native English speaker can also have 70（it）drawbacks，as strange as it might sound.

The school friends are my most important friend. When I go out with them，I go to art exhibitions or museums of art，when Im with them I enjoy it a lot and I feel well because I can talk to them about anything. The great thing is that the group never cease to expand，so we can always learn new ways of think and new artistic tastes. Fortunately I have never found me in a bad situ- ation，but Im surely I can count on my friends. I look for their help when I dont understand in something or when Im in trouble. I live farther away from my friends so I concentrate much on the study，though friends are anyway important.
