一、Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)
Passage 1
In 1866, sailors on a German ship called Paula threw a bottle with a message into waters hundreds of miles off the western coast of Australia. One hundred and thirty-one years later,(76) the bottle was found on an Australia island.
It's believed to be the oldest-known message in a bottle, in terms of the amount of time that has passed between when it was written and when it was found. Before this discovery, Guinness(吉尼斯) World Records said that the oldest was 108 years old, found in Germany in 2015.Aus-tralian and German researchers worked together to check whether the note is real or not.
Tonya IIlman was walking on the beach in January when she spotted the old bottle. “I picked it up thinking it might look nice on display in my home, " Illman says, according to an account on her husband's website.(77)The bottle was partially filled with wet sand. Shortly after, Illman's son's girlfriend poured out the contents and found a tightly rolled note covered in a piece of string.
Too damp to open initially, according to the account, the group waited for it to dry and were amazed to see that it was carefully handwritten in German. "The first thing that caught my eye was the year 1866,” said Illman's husband Kym. "It seemed totally unlikely to us that the note and bottle could have lasted that long."
The pair reached out to the Western Australia Museum, which set out to study the document, "Extraordinary finds need extraordinary evidence to support them, so we contacted colleagues in Germany for help to find more information,”Ross Anderson, who is in charge of words of art in the museum, said in a statement.
But this message is no SOS or love letter.

Part Iv Cloze (10%)
During a trip to observe wild animals in Africa, I encountered the least brave animal on earth the wildebeest(角马).I sat on a riverbank for three hours watching a group of thousands build 56 the courage to drink water.
More than a million wildebeests 57 northward into the wetlands. It is a long, dry and difficult journey. Frequently. the only available water is the Grumeti River, 68 represents both life and death. Unlike some creatures that can take moisture 59 the grass they eat, wildebeests must drink from the river to live. The river supports other wildlife, including 60 that kill and eat other animals. Though thirsty 61 traveling, the wildebeests stand back from the water sensing possible danger.
Moving slowly toward the bank can 62 hours, as an individual wildebeest steps forward steps back and then carefully steps forward again, More wildebeests gather together and advance, gradually pushing the leaders to the river, 63 they want to go or not. It's been a long time 64 they drink last time, and you feel their anxiety for water Lions are possibly on the 65 , saving energy as they wait for an opportunity for lunch Once the large group moves to the river, lions could 66 , making the group running in a wild and uncontrolled 67 The mad rush would raise a dust cloud that blocks the 68 of the wildebeests nearby. a kill is almost guaranteed.
Sitting on that riverbank, I noticed that a young wildebeest finally stepped ahead and drank while the 69 adults held back. Soon, others began drinking. But 70 lining up along the bank, taking turns, they gathered and pushed. Some had to walk farther into the water than they were 71 to go. Those pushed farther in water got frightened and in 72 frightened the others. They all retreated hastily and returned to their route. Only the few that were 73 enough got a drink. The others went 74 . There was no danger that day. only the wildebeests' fear and 75 courage kept them from drinking.
56、( 56 )
A、up
B、out
C、in
D、over
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：根据句子"I sat on a riverbank for three hours watching a group of thousands build __ the courage to drink water."，句子中描述的是角马在河边喝水需要勇气，所以空格处应该填入表示“建立”的介词，选项中只有A选项“up”符合语境，表示“建立”。因此，答案为A。
57、( 57 )
A、visit
B、travel
C、see
D、swim
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在句子中提到了“northward into the wetlands”，表示动物向北移动进入湿地，所以应该选择表示移动的词。选项A“a visit”表示访问，选项C“see”表示看见，选项D“swim”表示游泳，都与句意不符。只有选项B“travel”表示旅行、移动，符合句意。因此，答案为B。
58、( 58 )
A、that
B、which
C、where
D、when
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】本题考查定语从句的关系代词。先行词是a long, dry and difficult journey，在定语从句中作地点状语，所以应该使用关系副词where。因此，正确答案为B，即where。
59、( 59 )
A、above
B、under
C、from
D、over
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】在原文中提到了角马不能从它们吃的草中摄取水分，因此它们必须从河流中摄取水分才能生存。因此，正确答案是“from”，表示从草中摄取水分。其他选项都不符合原文的描述。
60、( 60 )
A、this
B、those
C、that
D、them
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】本题考查代词的选择，需要根据句意和语境进行判断。句子中提到"river supports other wildlife"，这里需要选择代词指代"野生动物"，根据常识可知，river支持的是"那些"野生动物，因此应该选择those。所以，答案为B。
61、( 61 )
A、among
B、above
C、from
D、between
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：题干中提到“the wildebeests stand back from the water sensing possible danger”，意思是角马们站在水边，感到可能有危险。因此，这里应该选择“among”表示“在……之间”，而不是“above”表示“在……之上”，“from”表示“从……”，“between”表示“在……之间（两者）”。因此，正确答案是A。
62、( 62 )
A、take
B、pay
C、spend
D、charge
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：句子中提到了“Moving slowly toward the bank can __ hours”，意思是“慢慢走向河岸可能需要花费数小时”，所以应该选择表示花费时间的动词。选项A中的“take”表示花费时间，符合句意。其他选项的意思分别是：B表示付款，C表示花费（金钱），D表示收费，都与句意不符。因此，正确答案是A。
63、( 63 )
A、when
B、where
C、what
D、whether
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】根据句意“它们是否想喝水”可知，此处应该使用whether来引导宾语从句，表示“是否”的意思。因此，答案为D。
64、( 64 )
A、before
B、because
C、since
D、though
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：句子中出现了“It’s been a long time”和“they drink last time”，表明前后存在因果关系，所以需要用表示因果关系的连词来连接前后两个句子。选项C中的“since”正是表示因果关系的连词，符合句意。其他选项after表示时间上的先后顺序，before表示时间上的先后顺序，though表示转折关系，都不符合句意。
65、( 65 )
A、watch
B、sight
C、shout
D、walk
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：题干中提到狮子在等待机会捕猎，因此可以推断出狮子是在观察的情况，因此应该选择"a watch"，表示“观察”。选项B“sight”表示“景象、视野”，与题意不符；选项C“shout”表示“喊叫、叫喊”，也不符合题意；选项D“walk”表示“行走、散步”，与题意无关。因此，正确答案为A。
66、( 66 )
A、rescue
B、join
C、attack
D、visit
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：根据题干描述，狮子在角马群体到达河边后可能会发动攻击，使得角马群奔跑，形成混乱的局面。因此，选项C“attack”符合题意，表示狮子发动攻击。其他选项A“rescue”表示救援，B“join”表示加入，D“visit”表示参观，均不符合题意。
67、( 67 )
A、solution
B、way
C、method
D、role
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在文中描述的是角马在喝水时的行为，它们会慢慢地走向河边，然后一起推动前面的角马，形成一种群体行动。这种行动方式被描述为一种方式（way），因此答案为B。选项A“solution”意为解决方案，不符合语境；选项C“method”意为方法，虽然也可以描述角马的行为方式，但不如“way”更贴近原文描述；选项D“role”意为角色，也不符合语境。
68、( 68 )
A、fear
B、shout
C、jump
D、view
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在文章中提到，Grumeti River对角马来说既代表生命也代表死亡，因此它对角马来说非常重要。因此，选项D“view（观点）”最符合文章中的描述，因为它代表了角马对Grumeti River的重视和关注。选项A“a fear（恐惧）”、B“a shout（呼喊）”、C“a jump（跳跃）”都不太符合文章中的描述。
69、( 69 )
A、fearful
B、confident
C、pleasant
D、happy
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在描述角马（wildebeest）的行为时，提到“the young wildebeest finally stepped ahead and drank while the adults held back.”，意思是“一只年轻的角马终于向前迈出一步开始喝水，而成年角马则退后了。”，这表明年轻的角马是勇敢的，而成年角马则显得害怕。因此，在描述角马的行为时，应该选择“fearful”这个形容词，表示它们害怕喝水。所以，答案为A。
70、( 70 )
A、regardless of
B、instead of
C、in case of
D、in spite of
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】根据上下文，句子中描述的是角马们排队喝水的情况，前后文之间存在转折关系，即虽然角马们开始喝水，但是它们并没有一直排队喝水，而是轮流喝水。因此，选项B中的“instead of”表示“代替”，符合语境，表示角马们没有一直排队喝水，而是轮流喝水。其他选项的意思与语境不符。
71、( 71 )
A、interesting
B、pleasant
C、willing
D、reluctant
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：根据题目中的描述，一些角马被推得更远进入水中，这让他们感到害怕，并可能吓到其他的角马。因此，这些角马可能并不愿意（C. willing）去喝更多的水，而是会后退并返回到它们的路线上。其他选项都不符合题目的描述，因此正确答案是C。
72、( 72 )
A、hope
B、story
C、step
D、turn
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在文章中提到，那些被推得更远的角马感到害怕，这种害怕情绪感染了其他的角马，使他们都急忙退回到原来的路线上。因此，他们并没有按照顺序排队喝水，而是被恐惧驱使着逃离水源。因此，选项D“turn”符合文章描述，表示他们并没有排队轮流喝水，而是被恐惧驱使着逃离。而选项A“hope”表示希望，与文章内容不符；选项B“story”表示故事，与文章内容没有直接关系；选项C“step”表示步骤，与文章内容也不符。因此，正确答案为D。
73、( 73 )
A、short
B、bold
C、kind
D、small
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在文章中提到，只有少数足够勇敢的角马才能喝到水，而其他角马则退缩了。因此，空格处应该填入一个表示“勇敢”的形容词。选项B中的“bold”恰好符合这个意思，表示“勇敢的”。其他选项如“short”（矮的）、“kind”（善良的）、“small”（小的）都与文意不符。
74、( 74 )
A、thirst
B、hunger
C、thirsty
D、hungry
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在描述角马喝水的场景中，描述了角马们非常口渴，因此它们才会聚集到河边喝水。选项C“thirsty”表示口渴的意思，符合语境。而其他选项如A“a thirst”、B“hunger”和D“hungry”都与喝水这个动作不太相关，因此不是最佳答案。
75、( 75 )
A、show
B、grasp
C、look
D、lack
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在文章中提到，角马们因为害怕而不敢喝水，因此他们缺乏勇气。选项D "lack" 表示缺乏，符合文意。而选项A "show" 表示展示，不符合文意；选项B "grasp" 表示把握，不符合文意；选项C "look" 表示外观，也不符合文意。因此，正确答案是D。
