It’s a starting place, but don’t stop here. Rocky Mountain Institute Rocky Mountain Institute has made notable achievements in its comparatively short history. In2017, it worked with India’s leadership and government to plan for 100% vehicle electrification(电气化) by 2030. They also provided research that resulted in new U. S. fuel-efficiency standards for trucks, which were expected to cut over one billion tons of CO₂ emissions. Its five-year plan to quicken low-carbon energy transition (转变) was published in early 2018. Greenpeace Fund Although Greenpeace solves many environmental problems such as deforestation (滥伐森林) and sustainable food, it has worked to address issues with oceans for decades: plastic pollution, offshore drilling, saving the Arctic, and more. Greenpeace has grown from a small group of activists protesting nuclear testing in 1971 to an international organization with offices in over fifty countries. Center for Biological Diversity Founded in 1989, the Center for Biological Diversity uses biological data and legal knowledge to obtain new protections for plants, animals, and their habitats. Its story began with some young students, an ancient tree in Mexico, and a spotted owl’s nest. Its first campaign saved both the tree and the owl. And they continue to grow by expanding territory, staff, and outreach (外展服务). Sierra Club Foundation The Sierra Club has been working to protect the environment and its people since 1892. It helped pass the Clean Air and Endangered Species Acts, enabled the creation of many national parks, and worked to move hundreds of coal plants towards clean energy. It also offers environmentally friendly wilderness outings to encourage people to get outdoors. People can take an international trip to study wildlife in Cuba. 21. Which organization has focused on the oceans for many years? A. Rocky Mountain Institute B. Greenpeace Fund C. Center for Biological Diversity D. Sierra Club Foundation 22. What do we know about Center for Biological Diversity? A. It aims to expand territory for Mexico. B. It is targeted at collecting biological data. C. Its foundation was inspired by some students. D. Its symbol contains an ancient tree and an owl. 23. What do Rocky Mountain Institute and Sierra Club Foundation have in common? A. They both push for the use of green energy. B. They both apply the new standard for vehicles. C. They both have founded numerous national parks. D. They both encourage humans to go outing in the wild. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了四个致力于保护环境的公益组织：Rocky Mountain Institute，Greenpeace Fund，Center for Biological Diversity和Sierra Club Foundation，以及他们的主要工作和成就。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Although Greenpeace solves many environmental problems such as deforestation (滥伐森林) and sustainable food, it has worked to address issues with oceans for decades: plastic pollution, offshore drilling, saving the Arctic, and more.”（尽管Greenpeace解决了许多环境问题，如滥伐森林和可持续食品，但它已经致力于解决海洋问题数十年：塑料污染，海上钻探，拯救北极等。）可知，Greenpeace Fund是一直关注海洋问题的组织。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Founded in 1989, the Center for Biological Diversity uses biological data and legal knowledge to obtain new protections for plants, animals, and their habitats. Its story began with some young students, an ancient tree in Mexico, and a spotted owl’s nest.”（1989年成立的生物多样性中心利用生物数据和法律知识为植物、动物及其栖息地获得新的保护。它的故事始于一些年轻的学生、墨西哥的一棵古树和一只斑点猫头鹰的巢。）可知，Center for Biological Diversity的创立是由一些学生启发的。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In2017, it worked with India’s leadership and government to plan for 100% vehicle electrification(电气化) by 2030. They also provided research that resulted in new U. S. fuel-efficiency standards for trucks, which were expected to cut over one billion tons of CO₂ emissions.”（2017年，它与印度的领导和政府合作，计划到2030年实现100%的车辆电气化。他们还提供了研究，这导致了新的美国卡车燃料效率标准，预计将减少超过10亿吨的二氧化碳排放。）和第五段“It helped pass the Clean Air and Endangered Species Acts, enabled the creation of many national parks, and worked to move hundreds of coal plants towards clean energy.”（它帮助通过了《清洁空气和濒危物种法案》，使许多国家公园得以建立，并努力使数百家煤电厂转向清洁能源。）可知，Rocky Mountain Institute和Sierra Club Foundation都在推动绿色能源的使用。故选A。 B Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the World Wide Web, once said, “I hope we will use the Net to cross barriers and connect cultures.” Nowadays, how important has Internet become in our lives on earth? The Pew Research Center conducted a survey to celebrate the Web’s 25th birthday. The researchers were greatly heartened by what they found. “In 2006 only 14 percent of American adults used Internet. Today, it’s 87 percent,” said Lee Rainie, the director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project. “It is what has impressed us the most.” The survey also showed that 70 percent of the Internet users have been treated kindly or generously online, while 25 percent of respondents said they have been treated unkindly. More than half—56 percent—of users said they’ve seen an online community come together to help someone solve a problem. 25 percent said they’ve left an online group because members were too unpleasant. When Pew asked questions about whether being online has enriched people’s relationships—or not—the results were very positive: 67 percent of Internet users said their online communication with family and friends has generally strengthened those relationships. Only 18 percent said it has generally weakened those relationships. According to the survey, 53 percent of Internet users said Internet has become the hardest tech tool to give up. It is 15 percent higher than the result of a similar survey conducted in 2006. In fact, more people said they would have a harder time stopping using Internet than giving up TV. (These days, so much great television streams across the Internet that it makes sense.) “In our survey, we have found that the Web makes a few people very unhappy. There’s strong evidence pointing to the fact that Internet users tend to compare their daily lives with the highlight moments’ of their friends’ lives,” said Lee Rainie. “It’s really silly.” 24. Why is Tim Berners-Lee’s quote mentioned? A. He is the father of the Web. B. The reality is opposite to his hope. C. It reveals the significance of the Net. D. Barriers about the Net remain to be solved. 25. What impressed the researchers most? A. Severe addiction to the Internet. B. Kind and generous communities. C. The improved family relationships. D. A growing number of Internet users. 26 The survey is convincing and persuasive mainly by ________. A. stating the arguments B. giving examples C. analyzing reasons D. listing data 27. According the last paragraph, what might Lee Rainie agree with? A. It’s harder to give up TV than Internet. B. To satisfy all users is the goal of the Web. C. It’s advised to treat posts with an ordinary mind. D. Posting daily highlights online should be forbidden. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了互联网变得越来越重要，介绍了一项关于互联网的调查以及调查结果。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the World Wide Web, once said, “I hope we will use the Net to cross barriers and connect cultures.” Nowadays, how important has Internet become in our lives on earth?(万维网之父蒂姆·伯纳斯-李曾经说过:“我希望我们将利用网络跨越障碍，连接文化。”如今，互联网在我们的生活中有多重要？)”可知，提到蒂姆·伯纳斯-李的名言是因为它揭示了网络的重要性。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““In 2006 only 14 percent of American adults used Internet. Today, it’s 87 percent,” said Lee Rainie, the director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project. “It is what has impressed us the most.”(2006年，只有14%的美国成年人使用互联网。今天，这个数字是87%，”皮尤研究中心互联网项目主任李·雷尼说。“这是给我们印象最深的。”)”可知，研究人员印象最深的是越来越多的互联网用户。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The survey also showed that 70 percent of the Internet users have been treated kindly or generously online, while 25 percent of respondents said they have been treated unkindly. More than half—56 percent—of users said they’ve seen an online community come together to help someone solve a problem. 25 percent said they’ve left an online group because members were too unpleasant.(调查还显示，70%的网民在网上受到过友好或慷慨的对待，而25%的受访者表示他们受到过不友好的对待。超过一半（56%）的用户表示，他们看到过一个在线社区聚集在一起帮助别人解决问题。25%的人说他们离开了一个网络群，因为成员们太不愉快了)”以及第四段“When Pew asked questions about whether being online has enriched people’s relationships—or not—the results were very positive: 67 percent of Internet users said their online communication with family and friends has generally strengthened those relationships. Only 18 percent said it has generally weakened those relationships.(当皮尤研究中心询问上网是否丰富了人们的人际关系时，结果是非常积极的：67%的互联网用户表示，他们与家人和朋友的在线交流通常加强了这些关系。只有18%的人认为这削弱了他们之间的关系)”可知，调查的说服力主要是通过列举数据。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““In our survey, we have found that the Web makes a few people very unhappy. There’s strong evidence pointing to the fact that Internet users tend to compare their daily lives with the highlight moments’ of their friends’ lives,” said Lee Rainie. “It’s really silly.”(“在我们的调查中，我们发现网络让一些人非常不开心。“有强有力的证据表明，互联网用户倾向于将自己的日常生活与朋友生活中的精彩时刻进行比较，”李·雷尼说。“这真的很愚蠢。”)”可知，Lee Rainie认为建议以平常心对待帖子。故选C。 C From the giant armadillo (仇狳) to the giant bison (野牛), many large plant eaters have been wiped out in the past 50,000 years. Now a study has found that the continents that lost the most of these giant herbivores (食草动物) had the biggest increases in wildfires in grasslands. “There is evidence today that herbivores can limit fire by reducing the fuel load,” says Allison Karp at Yale University. In fact, some supporters of rewilding argue that restoring large herbivores can help reduce wildfires. A few studies have already found that there were more fires in specific regions after the loss of giant herbivores during the past 50,000 years. Karp and her colleagues decided to look at the global picture by analyzing two existing databases. One, called HerbiTraits, has information on all herbivores larger than 10 kilograms that have lived in the past 130, 000 years. The other, called the Global Paleofire Database, has records of charcoal deposited (木炭沉积) in lakes from 160 sites worldwide, which show changes in fire activity nearby. The team found that the biggest increases in fire activity were in the continents that lost the most big herbivores, such as South America, with smaller increases in the continents where there were fewer extinctions, such as in Africa. Karp says her study cannot tell us anything about the effects of this increased fire activity. But other studies suggest that they were dramatic. After humans wiped out Australia’s giant herbivores, for instance, increased fire activity may have transformed the continent’s vegetation (植被). The reasons for the loss of so many giant herbivores around the world during this period are still debated. It’s clear that many were hard hit by climate changes related to the last ice age, but human hunting may have been the killer factor in most cases. 28. Why do some people hope to bring in more herbivores? A. To increase forests and grasslands. B. To reduce wildfires to some degree. C. To collect information on all herbivores. D. To prevent extinctions of smaller animals. 29. According to the team, there might be fewer wildfires in places where __________. A. fewer herbivores died out B. there was thicker vegetation C. more plant eaters went extinct D. there were more charcoal deposits 30. What may be a probable cause of the giant herbivore population decline? A. Increase in wildfire worldwide. B. Global warming. C. Decrease in the grassland. D. Human hunting. 31. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce the current situation of giant herbivores. B. To show the effects giant herbivores have on wildfires. C. To explain the importance of wildfires to giant herbivores. D. To discover the reasons for the decrease of giant herbivores. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大型食草动物灭绝与草原野火增加之间的关联，指出失去越多大型食草动物的大陆，其草原野火活动增长越显著，暗示了食草动物对控制野火的重要性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“In fact, some supporters of rewilding argue that restoring large herbivores can help reduce wildfires. (事实上，一些重新造林的支持者认为，恢复大型食草动物有助于减少野火。)”可知，人们希望引入更多食草动物的一个原因是相信它们能在一定程度上减少野火。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The team found that the biggest increases in fire activity were in the continents that lost the most big herbivores, such as South America, with smaller increases in the continents where there were fewer extinctions, such as in Africa. (研究小组发现，火灾活动增加最多的是南美洲等大型食草动物灭绝最多的大陆，而非洲等灭绝较少的大陆火灾活动增加较少。)”可知，在大型食草动物灭绝较少的地方，野火也可能较少。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“The reasons for the loss of so many giant herbivores around the world during this period are still debated. It’s clear that many were hard hit by climate changes related to the last ice age, but human hunting may have been the killer factor in most cases. (在这一时期，世界各地失去如此多巨型食草动物的原因仍有争议。很明显，许多人受到了与上一次冰河时期有关的气候变化的严重打击，但在大多数情况下，人类狩猎可能是致命因素。)”可知，人类狩猎可能是大型食草动物数量下降的一个可能原因。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Now a study has found that the continents that lost the most of these giant herbivores (食草动物) had the biggest increases in wildfires in grasslands. (现在，一项研究发现，失去这些巨型食草动物最多的大陆草原野火增加最多。)”以及全文可知，文章主要通过研究结果展示了过去5万年中大型食草动物的消失与草原野火增加之间的联系，强调了大型食草动物对控制野火的潜在作用，所以本篇文章的目的是展示巨型食草动物对野火的影响。故选B。 D A small group of Cuban dive instructors (潜水教练) have started a project to grow coral (珊瑚) and replant it. The divers hope to restore part of Cuba’s barrier reef (堡礁). And they are working with limited financial support and using materials recovered from the coast. Luis is one of the project’s leaders. The 44-year-old fisherman grew up on Cuba’s north coast. He said “It’s unbelievable to see the loss of coral in the past 30 years.” He added, “Our dream is to make the parts of the barrier reef that have lost their coral grow again.” To make that happen, Luis worked with other div e instructors and neighborhood schoolchildren with the support from Cuba’s environmental organizations—Cubas National Aquarium and the Cuban environmental program Ecovalor. They began assembling pieces of coral spread across the ocean floor after large storms three years ago. The pieces were then hung on branches of underwater “trees” made from old plastic pipes and supported by fishing lines recovered from the coast. They were then “replanted” on the coral reef, fixed by nails driven into the rock. In a year, most survive and grow enough to repopulate the part of the barrier reef between 60 to 80 meters in length. “It’s a project that takes time,” said co-worker Michel Soto. He said the project has done better than expectations even with little financial support and limited equipment in Cuba. Like many coral reefs around the world, the ones in Cuba are threatened by changing water temperatures, destructive plants and animals, pollution and over-fishing. It is reported that the world has already lost 30 to 50 percent of its coral reefs. Karine is a French div er who just visited Cuba for the first time. She said the reef looked better than others she had seen on dives elsewhere in the world, including in Africa. “The coral needs to be protected,” she said after two dives on a recent trip to nearby Varadero. She said, “It’s good to see that in Cuba they take care of what they have, and that it is still not too affected by too much tourism.” 32. What do you think of Luis’s group? A. They are experienced idealists. B. They are goal-oriented dreamers. C. They are self-confident specialists. D. They are determined problem-solvers. 33. What does the underlined word assembling in paragraph 3 mean? A. collecting B. fixing C. planting D. removing 34. What’s the purpose of paragraph 5? A. To predict the result of the project. B. To prove the necessity of the project. C. To call on more people to join the project. D. To state the economic benefit of the project. 35. Which of the following is right about the project? A. It is offered enough material support. B. It is a governmental rescue operation. C. It is tough but rewarding in the long term. D. It is expected to protect the whole barrier reef. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一小群古巴潜水教练开始了一个种植珊瑚并重新种植的项目。潜水员希望恢复古巴的部分大堡礁。他们在有限的财政支持下工作，使用从海岸回收的材料。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Our dream is to make the parts of the barrier reef that have lost their coral grow again. (我们的梦想是让大堡礁失去珊瑚的部分重新生长)”以及第三段“To make that happen, Luis worked with other div e instructors and neighborhood schoolchildren with the support from Cuba’s environmental organizations—Cubas National Aquarium and the Cuban environmental program Ecovalor. (为了实现这一目标，路易斯在古巴环境组织——古巴国家水族馆和古巴环境项目Ecovalor——的支持下，与其他教师和社区学生合作。)”可知，路易斯的小组是坚定的问题解决者。故选D。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“pieces of coral spread across the ocean floor after large storms three years ago”以及“The pieces were then hung on branches of underwater “trees” made from old plastic pipes and supported by fishing lines recovered from the coast. They were then “replanted” on the coral reef, fixed by nails driven into the rock. (然后，这些碎片被挂在水下“树”的树枝上，这些“树”是由旧塑料管制成的，由从海岸回收的钓鱼线支撑。然后将它们“重新种植”在珊瑚礁上，用钉入岩石的钉子固定。)”可知，三年前的大风暴过后，他们开始收集散布在海底的珊瑚碎片。故划线词意思是“收集”。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Like many coral reefs around the world, the ones in Cuba are threatened by changing water temperatures, destructive plants and animals, pollution and over-fishing. It is reported that the world has already lost 30 to 50 percent of its coral reefs. (像世界上许多珊瑚礁一样，古巴的珊瑚礁也受到水温变化、破坏性动植物、污染和过度捕捞的威胁。据报道，世界上已经失去了30%到50%的珊瑚礁。)”可知，第5段的目的是证明该项目的必要性。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““It’s a project that takes time,” said co-worker Michel Soto. He said the project has done better than expectations even with little financial support and limited equipment in Cuba. (“这是一个需要时间项目，”同事Michel Soto说。他说，即使在古巴没有多少资金支持和有限的设备的情况下，该项目也比预期的要好。)”以及最后一段“Karine is a French div er who just visited Cuba for the first time. She said the reef looked better than others she had seen on dives elsewhere in the world, including in Africa. “The coral needs to be protected,” she said after two dives on a recent trip to nearby Varadero. She said, “It’s good to see that in Cuba they take care of what they have, and that it is still not too affected by too much tourism.” (卡琳是一名法国游客，她第一次访问古巴。她说，这个珊瑚礁看起来比她在世界其他地方（包括非洲）潜水时看到的要好。“珊瑚需要得到保护，”她在最近一次去巴拉德罗附近潜水两次后说。她说，“很高兴看到古巴人照顾好自己拥有的东西，而且仍然没有受到过多旅游业的太大影响。”)”可知，C选项“这很难，但从长远来看是值得的”正确。故选C。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Go Recycling No one looking at the state of Earth in 2023 can be in any doubt that we are facing three serious environmental problems: climate problem, loss of biodiversity and pollution of air, soil and water. To solve the problems, we increase the use of electric cars, encourage greener eating and reduce plastic use. ___36___ For instance, creating space for biofuel crops to give off fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases can, in fact, significantly increase the cutting down of trees. ___37___ And, what is perhaps lacking is an awareness of how interlinked these problems are. ___38___ The root cause of global warming is CO₂, a waste gas. The seas are polluted by plastic and other waste products. We ignore forests, among other things, to grow more food, much of which goes to waste. A shocking figure lies at the heart of our special report on our world—of the more than 100billion tons of things that humans use each year, hardly 10% is recycled. ___39___ The situation requires our speedy moving away from the way of thinking — “take, make, throw”—towards a more recyclable one, which means we should begin redesigning the products and when they reach the end of their useful lives, they can be recycled. Solving the three problems calls for a huge transition with joint efforts. ___40___ They should take the lead by introducing laws in order to reward green practices, such as the limiting of waste. Industries can reduce, re-use and recycle wherever possible, and team themselves with suppliers and the like-minded to realize recyclable business models. A. Governments ought to do something responsibly. B. It is humans that caused the serious consequences. C. We should realize that a key theme linking all the three problems is waste. D. However, sometimes these solutions can be opposite to the expected goals. E. It is high time for people from all walks of life to take the issue into consideration. F. That makes it obvious a full-range war on waste should be paid immediate attention. G. That means some solutions aiming at one problem each time are unlikely to be effective. 【答案】36. D 37. G 38. C 39. F 40.

However, what many didn’t know was his deep love for music. Ever since he was a young boy, William was passionate about singing. He dreamed of attending a music school and becoming a famous pop singer, just like his idol Willie Nelson. He even dreamed about performing in his own private concerts someday. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when a car accident claimed the lives of both his parents, abruptly ending all his ambitions for the future. As the eldest brother in his family, William had to drop out of school and find a job to support his two younger sisters. After three decades, William’s passion for singing remained as strong as ever. As he went about his plumbing work, he always carried a little radio with him, belting out tunes and joyfully singing along. The dull tasks of repairs became enjoyable and much more manageable with music in the background. Occasionally, when inspiration struck, he even composed a song or two of his own. In fact, he had set up a small basement studio where he recorded some of these songs, purely for the fun of it. One day, William received a call from a client, Remus Gall, asking him to help repair the pipes in his kitchen. William accepted the mission readily. Upon arriving at Mr. Gal’s, he was led into the kitchen and began his work. As usual, while doing the repair work, he happily sang along to his small radio. Coincidentally, Remus Gall was a music producer and owner of a small recording company. Remus overheard the plumber singing and immediately realized there was something in William’s voice. He was amazed that an ordinary plumber should have such great talent in singing. After the repair work, Remus got the chance to talk with William and introduced his profession to him. “You’ve really got a beautiful voice.” Remus said sincerely. “Have you ever thought of releasing an album of your own? If so, I would be more than glad to help you.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 William was greatly shocked by what he heard. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After three months’ hard work, William’s first-ever album finally came out. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 William was greatly shocked by what he heard. He had never considered himself to be a talented singer, and his passion for music had always been a private hobby. But the sincere words from Remus Gall made him realize that he might have a chance to pursue his dream after all. William felt a surge of excitement and anticipation, and he couldn’t wait to explore this new opportunity. He had always wondered what his life would have been like if he had pursued music instead of plumbing, and now he had a chance to find out. After three months’ hard work, William’s first-ever album finally came out. The recording process was a new and challenging experience for William, but he was determined to make the most of it. With the help of Remus Gall and his team, William’s songs were professionally recorded and produced. The album was a mix of original songs and covers of some of William’s favorite classics. The album was titled “Plumber with a Voice”, a nod to William’s unlikely journey from a skilled plumber to a budding singer. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了威廉是一位技术高超的水管工，然而，许多人不知道的是他对音乐的热爱。威廉从小就酷爱唱歌。他梦想进入一所音乐学校，成为一名著名的流行歌手，就像他的偶像威利·纳尔逊一样。不幸的是，一场车祸夺去了他父母的生命，悲剧降临了，他对未来的抱负戛然而止。三十年后，威廉对唱歌的热情一如既往地强烈，并且在一次巧合下被一名音乐制作人发现了他的才华，还为他出版了专辑。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“威廉被他所听到的震惊了”可知，第一段可描写雷穆斯·戈尔的真诚话语让威廉意识到自己有机会追求自己的梦想，威廉决定一试。 ②由第二段首句内容“经过三个月的努力，威廉的首张专辑终于面世了”可知，第二段可描写威廉在的雷穆斯·加尔帮助下出版了专辑和专辑出版后的影响。 2.续写线索：追求梦想——渴望探索机会——团队帮助——专辑发布——威廉感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware of ②追求：pursue/chase after ③决定：be determined to/determine to do 情绪类 ①热情：passion/enthusiasm ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1] He had always wondered what his life would have been like if he had pursued music instead of plumbing, and now he had a chance to find out.

It’s a starting place, but don’t stop here. Rocky Mountain Institute Rocky Mountain Institute has made notable achievements in its comparatively short history. In2017, it worked with India’s leadership and government to plan for 100% vehicle electrification(电气化) by 2030. They also provided research that resulted in new U. S. fuel-efficiency standards for trucks, which were expected to cut over one billion tons of CO₂ emissions. Its five-year plan to quicken low-carbon energy transition (转变) was published in early 2018. Greenpeace Fund Although Greenpeace solves many environmental problems such as deforestation (滥伐森林) and sustainable food it has worked to address issues with oceans for decades: plastic pollution, offshore drilling, saving the Arctic, and more. Greenpeace has grown from a small group of activists protesting nuclear testing in 1971 to an international organization with offices in over fifty countries. Center for Biological Diversity Founded in 1989, the Center for Biological Diversity uses biological data and legal knowledge to obtain new protections for plants, animals, and their habitats. Its story began with some young students, an ancient tree in Mexico, and a spotted owl’s nest. Its first campaign saved both the tree and the owl. And they continue to grow by expanding territory, staff, and outreach (外展服务). Sierra Club Foundation The Sierra Club has been working to protect the environment and its people since 1892. It helped pass the Clean Air and Endangered Species Acts, enabled the creation of many national parks, and worked to move hundreds of coal plants towards clean energy. It also offers environmentally friendly wilderness outings to encourage people to get outdoors. People can take an international trip to study wildlife in Cuba. 21. Which organization has focused on the oceans for many years? A. Rocky Mountain Institute B. Greenpeace Fund C. Center for Biological Diversity D. Sierra Club Foundation 22. What do we know about Center for Biological Diversity? A. It aims to expand territory for Mexico. B. It is targeted at collecting biological data. C. Its foundation was inspired by some students. D. Its symbol contains an ancient tree and an owl. 23. What do Rocky Mountain Institute and Sierra Club Foundation have in common? A. They both push for the use of green energy. B. They both apply the new standard for vehicles. C. They both have founded numerous national parks. D. They both encourage humans to go outing in the wild. B Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the World Wide Web, once said, “I hope we will use the Net to cross barriers and connect cultures.” Nowadays, how important has Internet become in our lives on earth? The Pew Research Center conducted a survey to celebrate the Web’s 25th birthday. The researchers were greatly heartened by what they found. “In 2006 only 14 percent of American adults used Internet. Today, it’s 87 percent,” said Lee Rainie, the director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project. “It is what has impressed us the most.” The survey also showed that 70 percent of the Internet users have been treated kindly or generously online, while 25 percent of respondents said they have been treated unkindly. More than half—56 percent—of users said they’ve seen an online community come together to help someone solve a problem. 25 percent said they’ve left an online group because members were too unpleasant. When Pew asked questions about whether being online has enriched people’s relationships—or not—the results were very positive: 67 percent of Internet users said their online communication with family and friends has generally strengthened those relationships. Only 18 percent said it has generally weakened those relationships. According to the survey, 53 percent of Internet users said Internet has become the hardest tech tool to give up. It is 15 percent higher than the result of a similar survey conducted in 2006. In fact, more people said they would have a harder time stopping using Internet than giving up TV. (These days, so much great television streams across the Internet that it makes sense.) “In our survey, we have found that the Web makes a few people very unhappy. There’s strong evidence pointing to the fact that Internet users tend to compare their daily lives with the highlight moments’ of their friends’ lives,” said Lee Rainie. “It’s really silly.” 24. Why is Tim Berners-Lee’s quote mentioned? A. He is the father of the Web. B. The reality is opposite to his hope. C. It reveals the significance of the Net. D. Barriers about the Net remain to be solved. 25 What impressed the researchers most? A. Severe addiction to the Internet. B. Kind and generous communities. C. The improved family relationships. D. A growing number of Internet users. 26. The survey is convincing and persuasive mainly by ________. A. stating the arguments B. giving examples C. analyzing reasons D. listing data 27. According the last paragraph, what might Lee Rainie agree with? A. It’s harder to give up TV than Internet. B. To satisfy all users is the goal of the Web. C. It’s advised to treat posts with an ordinary mind. D. Posting daily highlights online should be forbidden. C From the giant armadillo (仇狳) to the giant bison (野牛), many large plant eaters have been wiped out in the past 50,000 years. Now a study has found that the continents that lost the most of these giant herbivores (食草动物) had the biggest increases in wildfires in grasslands. “There is evidence today that herbivores can limit fire by reducing the fuel load,” says Allison Karp at Yale University. In fact, some supporters of rewilding argue that restoring large herbivores can help reduce wildfires. A few studies have already found that there were more fires in specific regions after the loss of giant herbivores during the past 50,000 years. Karp and her colleagues decided to look at the global picture by analyzing two existing databases. One, called HerbiTraits, has information on all herbivores larger than 10 kilograms that have lived in the past 130, 000 years. The other, called the Global Paleofire Database, has records of charcoal deposited (木炭沉积) in lakes from 160 sites worldwide, which show changes in fire activity nearby. The team found that the biggest increases in fire activity were in the continents that lost the most big herbivores, such as South America, with smaller increases in the continents where there were fewer extinctions, such as in Africa. Karp says her study cannot tell us anything about the effects of this increased fire activity. But other studies suggest that they were dramatic. After humans wiped out Australia’s giant herbivores, for instance, increased fire activity may have transformed the continent’s vegetation (植被). The reasons for the loss of so many giant herbivores around the world during this period are still debated. It’s clear that many were hard hit by climate changes related to the last ice age, but human hunting may have been the killer factor in most cases. 28. Why do some people hope to bring in more herbivores? A. To increase forests and grasslands. B. To reduce wildfires to some degree. C. To collect information on all herbivores. D. To prevent extinctions of smaller animals. 29. According to the team, there might be fewer wildfires in places where __________. A. fewer herbivores died out B. there was thicker vegetation C. more plant eaters went extinct D. there were more charcoal deposits 30. What may be a probable cause of the giant herbivore population decline? A. Increase in wildfire worldwide. B. Global warming. C. Decrease in the grassland. D. Human hunting. 31. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce the current situation of giant herbivores. B. To show the effects giant herbivores have on wildfires. C To explain the importance of wildfires to giant herbivores. D. To discover the reasons for the decrease of giant herbivores. D A small group of Cuban dive instructors (潜水教练) have started a project to grow coral (珊瑚) and replant it. The divers hope to restore part of Cuba’s barrier reef (堡礁). And they are working with limited financial support and using materials recovered from the coast. Luis is one of the project’s leaders. The 44-year-old fisherman grew up on Cuba’s north coast. He said, “It’s unbelievable to see the loss of coral in the past 30 years.” He added, “Our dream is to make the parts of the barrier reef that have lost their coral grow again.” To make that happen, Luis worked with other div e instructors and neighborhood schoolchildren with the support from Cuba’s environmental organizations—Cubas National Aquarium and the Cuban environmental program Ecovalor. They began assembling pieces of coral spread across the ocean floor after large storms three years ago. The pieces were then hung on branches of underwater “trees” made from old plastic pipes and supported by fishing lines recovered from the coast. They were then “replanted” on the coral reef, fixed by nails driven into the rock. In a year, most survive and grow enough to repopulate the part of the barrier reef between 60 to 80 meters in length. “It’s a project that takes time,” said co-worker Michel Soto. He said the project has done better than expectations even with little financial support and limited equipment in Cuba. Like many coral reefs around the world, the ones in Cuba are threatened by changing water temperatures, destructive plants and animals, pollution and over-fishing. It is reported that the world has already lost 30 to 50 percent of its coral reefs. Karine is a French div er who just visited Cuba for the first time. She said the reef looked better than others she had seen on dives elsewhere in the world, including in Africa. “The coral needs to be protected,” she said after two dives on a recent trip to nearby Varadero. She said, “It’s good to see that in Cuba they take care of what they have, and that it is still not too affected by too much tourism.” 32. What do you think of Luis’s group? A. They are experienced idealists. B. They are goal-oriented dreamers. C. They are self-confident specialists. D. They are determined problem-solvers. 33. What does the underlined word assembling in paragraph 3 mean? A. collecting B. fixing C. planting D. removing 34. What’s the purpose of paragraph 5? A. To predict the result of the project. B. To prove the necessity of the project. C. To call on more people to join the project. D. To state the economic benefit of the project. 35. Which of the following is right about the project? A. It is offered enough material support. B. It is a governmental rescue operation. C. It is tough but rewarding in the long term. D. It is expected to protect the whole barrier reef. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Go Recycling No one looking at the state of Earth in 2023 can be in any doubt that we are facing three serious environmental problems: climate problem, loss of biodiversity and pollution of air, soil and water. To solve the problems, we increase the use of electric cars, encourage greener eating and reduce plastic use. ___36___ For instance, creating space for biofuel crops to give off fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases can, in fact, significantly increase the cutting down of trees. ___37___ And, what is perhaps lacking is an awareness of how interlinked these problems are. ___38___ The root cause of global warming is CO₂, a waste gas. The seas are polluted by plastic and other waste products. We ignore forests, among other things, to grow more food, much of which goes to waste. A shocking figure lies at the heart of our special report on our world—of the more than 100billion tons of things that humans use each year, hardly 10% is recycled. ___39___ The situation requires our speedy moving away from the way of thinking — “take, make, throw”—towards a more recyclable one, which means we should begin redesigning the products and when they reach the end of their useful lives, they can be recycled. Solving the three problems calls for a huge transition with joint efforts. ___40___ They should take the lead by introducing laws in order to reward green practices, such as the limiting of waste. Industries can reduce, re-use and recycle wherever possible, and team themselves with suppliers and the like-minded to realize recyclable business models. A. Governments ought to do something responsibly. B. It is humans that caused the serious consequences. C. We should realize that a key theme linking all the three problems is waste. D. However sometimes these solutions can be opposite to the expected goals. E. It is high time for people from all walks of life to take the issue into consideration. F. That makes it obvious a full-range war on waste should be paid immediate attention. G. That means some solutions aiming at one problem each time are unlikely to be effective. 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Rose lived in a dull, gray village where life was black and white.

However, what many didn’t know was his deep love for music. Ever since he was a young boy, William was passionate about singing. He dreamed of attending a music school and becoming a famous pop singer, just like his idol Willie Nelson. He even dreamed about performing in his own private concerts someday. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when a car accident claimed the lives of both his parents, abruptly ending all his ambitions for the future. As the eldest brother in his family, William had to drop out of school and find a job to support his two younger sisters. After three decades, William’s passion for singing remained as strong as ever. As he went about his plumbing work, he always carried a little radio with him, belting out tunes and joyfully singing along. The dull tasks of repairs became enjoyable and much more manageable with music in the background. Occasionally, when inspiration struck, he even composed a song or two of his own. In fact, he had set up a small basement studio where he recorded some of these songs, purely for the fun of it. One day, William received a call from a client, Remus Gall, asking him to help repair the pipes in his kitchen. William accepted the mission readily. Upon arriving at Mr. Gal’s, he was led into the kitchen and began his work. As usual, while doing the repair work, he happily sang along to his small radio. Coincidentally, Remus Gall was a music producer and owner of a small recording company. Remus overheard the plumber singing and immediately realized there was something in William’s voice. He was amazed that an ordinary plumber should have such great talent in singing. After the repair work, Remus got the chance to talk with William and introduced his profession to him. “You’ve really got a beautiful voice.” Remus said sincerely. “Have you ever thought of releasing an album of your own? If so, I would be more than glad to help you.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 William was greatly shocked by what he heard. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After three months’ hard work, William’s first-ever album finally came out. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
