The four must-read environmental books are sure to attract the greenest bookworms. Braiding Sweetgrass Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmer looks at the relationship between humans and the land. Kimmer ties lessons she learned to Western society’s view of plants and aims to tell the importance of plants and animals. The book also explores the lessons we may learn from plants and animals and how they relate to certain stories. Braiding Sweetgrass won the 2014 Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award. The End of Nature The End of Nature was published in 1989. Its author, Bill Mckibben, describes the relationship between nature and humans. It expresses the thought that nature was previously independent of humans but now has been affected by them in every way. The book tells the ideas of nature and the value it has lost. Silent Spring Written by Rachel Carson, Silent Spring has been described as a landmark work of environmental writing and is praised for bringing the environment al movement into the public’s focus. The book stresses the effects of pesticides (杀虫剂) on the environment. The book eventually led to a change in the pesticide law of the US. The Sixth Extinction The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert describes previous mass extinction events and connects them to many extinctions presently taking place. Kolbert studies the relationships humans have with the environment and finds that we are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction caused by humans. The Sixth Extinction won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction. 1. Whose book focuses on nature’s lost value due to human activities? A. Robin Wall Kimmer’s. B. Rachel Carson’s. C. Bill Mckibben’s. D. Elizabeth Kolbert’s. 2. Why is Silent Spring so important? A. It has reduced the use of land. B. It has affected a law in the US. C. It has changed people’s view of plants. D. It has prevented nature from being independent. 3. What do Braiding Sweetgrass and The Sixth Extinction have in common? A. They won a prize. B. They focus on the lessons we learn. C. They are about mass extinction events. D. They view nature to be independent of humans. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四本必读的环保书籍。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据The End of Nature部分的“Its author, Bill Mckibben... The book tells the ideas of nature and the value it has lost.(这本书的作者Bill Mckibben描述了自然和人类之间的关系。它表达了这样一种思想，即大自然以前是独立于人类的，但现在在各个方面都受到了人类的影响。这本书讲述了自然的观念和它所失去的价值。)”可知,，Bill Mckubben的书重点讲因人类活动导致大自然固有价值的丢失。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Silent Spring部分的“The book eventually led to a change in the pesticide law of the US.(这本书最终导致了美国农药法的改变。)”可知，Silent Spring 影响了美国一项法律的修订。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Braiding Sweetgrass部分的“Braiding Sweetgrass won the 2014 Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award.( Braiding Sweetgrass获得了2014年西格德·F·奥尔森自然写作奖。)”和The Sixth Extinction部分的“The Sixth Extinction won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction.( The Sixth Extinction获得2015年普利策非虚构类文学奖。)”可知，这两部作品的共同之处在于它们都获了奖。故选A。 B Cheng Cheung Hung, a Chinese sprinter(短跑运动员), says Asia’s fastest man Su Bingtian is his hero, who was the first Chinese to run 100 meters in 10 seconds in 2015. “Su Bingtian created a new Asian record. His super performance definitely earned him the title of ‘Su-per’. I had the pleasure of shaking his hand, which was a great inspiration,” said Cheng after his competition in China’s first Youth Games on Monday. Four weeks ago Su delivered a speech, which attracted many young athletes like Cheng Cheung Hung. Cheng not only shook hands with his hero, but also was inspired by Su’s speech. “It was truly an enlightening experience for me,” recalled Cheng. “Su encouraged us to try and challenge ourselves to break the limit. Combining(结合)talent and hard work together, we can step on the world stage.” Majored in physical therapy(理疗), Cheng has well balanced his school studies and training at university. “The main thing is to do a good job of time management for studying and training,” he said. “In the classroom and on the sports field, it’s all about learning.” Through studying physical therapy at university, Cheng got a deeper understanding of human body structure and conducted scientific analysis of sprinting. He said he could be aware of the change in his physical state now and immediately correct his training time based on his knowledge and research. “It would be a great honor to be involved in sports in the future, and to pass on the experience I have learned now to the next generation. I hope to help the development of sports,” Cheng said. 4. What does Cheng Cheung Hung think of Su? A. Admirable. B. Brave. C. Honest. D. Strict. 5.

He has achieved a balance between study and training. 7. What does Cheng Cheung Hung say about his study in college? A. It cost him much money. B. It led him to be a scientist. C. It helped him with sports training. D. It wasted too much time. 【答案】4 A 5. D 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了中国短跑运动员Cheng Cheung Hung。 【4题详解】 推理判断题，根据二段“I had the pleasure of shaking his hand, which was a great inspiration (我很高兴和他握手，这是一个很大的鼓舞)”和第三段“Cheng not only shook hands with his hero, but also was inspired by Su’s speech. “It was truly an enlightening experience for me,” recalled Cheng. (程不仅和他的英雄握了握手，还被苏的演讲所鼓舞。“这对我来说真的是一次有启发的经历，”程回忆道。)”可推断，Cheng Cheung Hug认为Su是令人钦佩的。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题，根据第三段“Su encouraged us to try and challenge ourselves to break the limit.

(通过在大学学习物理治疗，他对人体结构有了更深入的了解，并对短跑进行了科学的分析。他说，他现在可以意识到自己身体状态的变化，并根据自己的知识和研究，立即调整训练时间。)” 可知，Cheng Cheung Hug大学期间在理疗方面的学习有助于他的体育训练。故选C。 C Some Christmas traditions are pretty standard in mainstream (主流) American culture: put up the tree, string up the lights, visit grandma, and so on. Then there’s the one my Colombian family does every year: the Novena de Aguinaldos. We pray (祈祷) for nine days without a stop and this Novena counts down the nine days before Christmas. Most Americans have never heard of it, but in Colombia, it’s a big deal. Like all good traditions, especially around the holidays, this tradition is about community and getting together with friends and family. My family immigrated (移民) from Colombia when I was just two months old. Every year, we gather with a group of Colombian friends for as many of the nine nights as we can. There are three parts to the Novena de Aguinaldos. The first is the reading: each kid takes turns to read a book. Next comes the gozos, which means “The Joys”. That’s where the music comes in, and everyone gets an instrument, a maraca, a drum, a tin can — whatever you can use to make a sound. And then, the villancicos — Spanish Christmas carols (颂歌) come. I’ve lived my whole life in the US. There’s not a lot of Colombian culture that we still hang onto. Why do we still carry on with the tradition of celebrating the Novenas, then? When I asked my parents the other day, the answer was that immigrants didn’t belong anywhere — not where you were, nor where you were from. So my parents helped create a space where we did. Even if the Novenas were nothing like what we might have celebrated if we’d stayed in Colombia, the Novenas became the heart of our community. But our Novenas are starting to feel a little more breakable. It’s getting harder and harder for everyone to get together each year. Last year, I was studying abroad in Italy and couldn’t make it to any gathering; my brother went off to college and had exams late into December; my sister just moved to a new city, and my parents have taken up jobs in different countries. 8. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The process of celebrating the Novena. B. The development of a Colombian tradition. C. The background of the Colombian family. D. The differences between the Novena and Christmas. 9. Why does the Colombian family celebrate the Novena? A. To remember their dead friends. B. To find a sense of belonging. C. To show their respect for Americans. D. To understand the local culture. 10. What makes celebrating the Novena difficult for the Colombian family? A. Lack of money. B. Their separate busy life. C. American laws. D. Friends’ complaints. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. Growing Up B. Colorful Culture C. Exploring American Christmas Traditions D. Colombian Family’s Novena in the US 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要叙述了作者一家很早从哥伦比亚移民到美国，他们在美国人庆祝圣诞节前经常庆祝他们自己的节日，以此来找回归属感。但是由于后来家人都各自忙着自己的事，庆祝九日敬礼节也变得困难起来。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“There are three parts to the Novena de Aguinaldos. The first is the reading: each kid takes turns to read a book. Next comes the gozos, which means “The Joys”. That’s where the music comes in, and everyone gets an instrument, a maraca, a drum, a tin can—whatever you can use to make a sound. And then, the villancicos——Spanish Christmas carols（颂歌）come.”（九日敬礼有三个部分。首先是阅读: 每个孩子轮流读一本书。接下来是戈佐斯，意思是“快乐”。这就是音乐发挥作用的地方，每个人都能得到一件乐器，一个沙球，一个鼓，一个罐子——任何你能用来发出声音的东西。然后，是维兰西科人——西班牙圣诞颂歌。）可知，第四段主要讲了庆祝九日敬礼节的过程。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“When I asked my parents the other day, the answer was that immigrants didn’t belong anywhere—not where you were, nor where you were from. So my parents helped create a space where we did.”（ 前几天我问我的父母，答案是移民不属于任何地方——不属于你在哪里，也不属于你从哪里来。所以我父母帮我们创造了一个空间。）可知，哥伦比亚家族庆祝九日敬礼节是为找到归属感。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It’s getting harder and harder for everyone to get together each year. Last year, I was studying abroad in Italy and couldn’t make it to any gathering; my brother went off to college and had exams late into December; my sister just moved to a new city, and my parents have taken up jobs in different countries.”（ 每年大家聚在一起越来越难了。去年，我在意大利留学，无法参加任何聚会; 我哥哥去上大学，考试一直持续到12月底；我姐姐刚搬到一个新城市，我父母在不同的国家找到了工作。）可知，他们各自忙碌的生活使得哥伦比亚家庭庆祝九日敬礼节变得困难。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要叙述了作者一家很早从哥伦比亚移民到美国，他们在美国人庆祝圣诞节前经常庆祝他们自己的节日，以此来找回归属感。但是由于后来家人都各自忙着自己的事，庆祝九日敬礼也变得困难起来。所以短文的最佳标题为“生活在美国的哥伦比亚家族的九日敬礼节”。故选D项。 D When 62-year-old fisherman Kpana Charlie has finished placing the day’s catch in his nets, he likes to sit on his wooden chair and let his mind go back to his childhood. Back then, his home on Sierra Leone’s Nyangai Island seemed like a paradise (天堂). He spent endless hours playing with his friends on the island’s shining white beaches. He liked to kick around a soccer ball on the sports field in his village, and in mango season, he would shake the trees to collect their colorful fruit. Whenever he wanted to avoid doing his homework, he could simply disappear into the thick forest that covered much of the island. Today, Nyangai is disappearing, swallowed up by the sea. As recently as ten years ago, it still measured some 2, 300 feet from end to end. What’s left today is a patch of (一片) sand which is 300 feet long and 250 wide. The forests are gone, flooded by saltwater. The soccer field lies under water for 22 hours of the day. And the land on which Charlie’s family home once stood, the home he was born in, has been disappearing under the waves. In as little as two years, Charlie fears, Nyangai may no longer exist at all. With nearly a third of its population living in coastal areas, and its heavy reliance on agriculture and fishing, Sierra Leone has been treated as one of the world’s most vulnerable countries to the effects of climate (气候) change. Gabriel Jaka, head of operations for the country’s Meteorological Agency, says the reason for Nyangai’s troubles is clear. “We’re seeing a significant sea-level rise and these people don’t have any proper defenses,” he says. “All they have are sandbags. If we don’t act now, the effects on people are just going to get worse.” 12. What do the figures in paragraph 3 show? A. Nyangai is large in area. B. Nyangai has a long history. C. Nyangai is being destroyed by humans. D. Nyangai is suffering a lot from a sea-level rise. 13. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Far-reaching. B. Protected. C. Easy to be attacked. D. Difficult to keep in touch with. 14. How does Gabriel Jaka feel about people’s future life in Nyangai? A. Worried. B. Calm. C. Unconcerned. D. Hopeful. 15. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To introduce a poor fisherman. B. To call for actions to fight climate change. C. To present a fisherman’s old hometown. D. To show the destruction of the forest. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了海平面的急剧上升导致一些低洼地区被淹没，虽然采取了一些措施，但也收效甚微。 【12题详解】 推理判断题 。根据第三段内容“Today, Nyangai is disappearing, swallowed up by the sea. As recently as ten years ago, it still measured some 2, 300 feet from end to end. What’s left today is a patch of(一片)sand which is 300 feet long and 250 wide. The forests are gone, flooded by saltwater. The soccer field lies under water for 22 hours of the day. And the land on which Charlie’s family home once stood, the home he was born in, has been disappearing under the waves. In as little as two years, Charlie fears, Nyangai may no longer exist at all.( 如今，Nyangai正在消失，被大海吞没。就在十年前，它的首尾距离还在2300英尺左右。今天剩下的是一片长300英尺，宽250英尺的沙子。森林消失了，被海水淹没。足球场一天有22个小时被水淹没。查理的家曾经所在的土地，他出生的地方，已经消失在海浪中。查理担心，再过两年，Nyangai可能就不复存在了。)”可推断，本段通过数字对比来证明 Nyangai正受到海平面升高的威胁。故选D。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据前文“With nearly a third of its population living in coastal areas, and its heavy reliance on agriculture and fishing(该国近三分之一的人口居住在沿海地区，严重依赖农业和渔业)”可推断，塞拉利昂大部分人口生活在沿海地区，严重依赖农业和渔业，因此推断非常容易受到气候的影响，被看作世界上最容易受到气候变化影响的国家之一，故划线词vulnerable与C项“容易受到攻击的”意思相近。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Gabriel Jaka, head of operations for the country’s Meteorological Agency, says the reason for Nyangai’s troubles is clear. “We’re seeing a significant sea-level rise and these people don’t have any proper defenses,” he says. “All they have are sandbags. If we don’t act now, the effects on people are just going to get worse.”(该国气象局业务负责人Gabriel Jaka说，Nyangai遇到麻烦的原因很清楚。“我们看到海平面显著上升，而这些人没有任何适当的防御措施。”他说：“他们只有沙袋。如果我们现在不采取行动，对人们的影响只会变得更糟。”)”可推断，Gabriel Jaka对于在Nyangai的人的未来的生活感到担忧。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，特别是最后一段的“If we don’t act now, the effects on people are just going to get worse.( 如果我们现在不采取行动，对人们的影响只会变得更糟。)”可推断，作者的写作目的是呼吁人们采取措施应对天气变化。故选B。 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。 There is seemingly endless advice to help parents raise healthy and responsible children. ____16____. Aunts, uncles, and even trusted neighbors play a unique role in shaping the little members of our society. Here are some tips on how to be a supportive adult to the kids in your life. ____17____ The great part about not being a parent to a child is that you get to choose how much you want to engage (参与) and in what ways. Some aunties and uncles want to send cards full of money on birthdays and holidays. ____18____. Whatever your style, the first step in being a supportive adult in a kid’s life is understanding your own interests and being clear about what you can and can’t give. Come up with a routine (常规做法) for staying in touch Once you know your role, start thinking about how often you want to practice it. Are you checking in every day or once a week? Do you go to all the football games? When it comes to building relationships with kids, try to stick to a schedule that you find proper. ____19____. It could be something more like buying the kids lunch every once in a while. Provide non-judgmental support Kids might be afraid to share certain things with their parents because they’re afraid they’ll get in trouble. However, in an auntie-child relationship, for example, you’re not the primary caretaker. Unlike being a parent, there’s less pressure for you to always be the perfect role model. In this safe zone (区域), you can listen to kids a little bit more differently than their parents. ____20____. A. Figure out your role B. Provide kids with various options C. Others want to do school pickup every week D. Something good will take place in the future E. But parents aren’t the only people who help raise kids F. That could be a simple word of encouragement at times G. In this case, kids are free to share certain things with you 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. C 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是教你成为一个支持你生活中孩子的成年人的一些建议。 【16题详解】 空后“Aunts, uncles, and even trusted neighbors play a unique role in shaping the little members of our society.(阿姨，叔叔，甚至值得信赖的邻居在塑造我们社会的小成员方面发挥着独特的作用。)”说明阿姨叔叔对孩子的成长也是有影响的，也就是说不光是父母不是唯一塑造孩子的人，E选项“But parents aren’t the only people who help raise kids(但父母并不是唯一帮助抚养孩子的人)”说明了父母不是唯一帮助抚养孩子的人，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选E。 【17题详解】 空格处是本段小标题，由空后的“The great part about not being a parent to a child is that you get to choose how much you want to engage (参与) and in what ways.(不做孩子的父母的好处是，你可以选择你想参与的程度和方式。)”可知，本段主要讲的是叔叔阿姨们要想清楚在孩子的生活中扮演什么角色，A选项“Figure out your role (明确你的角色)”说明了要明确自己在孩子的生活中的角色，概括了本段内容，可作为小标题，故选A。 【18题详解】 空前“Some aunties and uncles want to send cards full of money on birthdays and holidays.(有些叔叔阿姨想在生日和节假日送装满钱的卡片。)”举的是一些叔叔阿姨想要为孩子做的事情，空格处应该说另一些叔叔阿姨想做的事情，C选项“Others want to do school pickup every week(另一些人则想每周接送孩子上学)”说明了另一些叔叔阿姨想为孩子做的事情，因此承接上文，some...others...符合语境，故选C。 【19题详解】 空前“When it comes to building relationships with kids, try to stick to a schedule that you find proper.(当涉及到与孩子建立关系时，试着坚持一个你认为合适的安排。)”说明了要试着坚持一个你认为合适的安排，空格处应该举例说明这些安排可以是些什么事情，F选项“That could be a simple word of encouragement at times(这有时可能是一句简单的鼓励)”举例说明了这可以是鼓励，因此承接上文，与下文“It could be something more like buying the kids lunch every once in a while.(这可以更像是每隔一段时间给孩子们买午餐。)”这种鼓励方法相辅相成，符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 空前“In this safe zone (区域), you can listen to kids a little bit more differently than their parents.(在这个安全地带，你可以用不同于父母的方式倾听孩子。)”说明了你可以用不同于父母的方式倾听孩子，空格处应该说这样做的好处，G选项“In this case, kids are free to share certain things with you(在这种情况下，孩子们可以自由地与你分享某些东西)”说明你用不同于父母的方式倾听孩子的好处是使孩子可以自由地与你分享某些东西，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选G。 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。 Yesterday, I was shopping in a store, minding my own business, when I saw someone ___21___ a dog with a “service animal” vest.

Then each team will make a presentation by the end of the week. The team that makes the best presentation will get a prize.” As soon as our teacher finished explaining the rules, Liya went to me and asked, “Teammates?” Since Liya and I were interested in picture books and took painting class together, I agreed to be her teammate without a second thought. During the lunchtime, we went to the dining room together to exchange ideas on the reading project over lunch. Kasha, with whom I always did stuff together, happened to sit at the next table. “Kasha, do you have any good idea for us?” I asked casually. “Why should I give you guys ideas?” she replied in a hurt tone. “I’ll save them for my own team. After all, I am not your first choice for the project.” On hearing this, I realized that she was mad with me, for a good reason. If I were her，not only would I feel hurt, but I’d also be worried about which team I could join. Now I had my teammate and Kasha didn’t. With my eyes fixed on the floor, I apologized in a low voice, “I’m sorry to leave you out. But would you like to join us now?” I thought that Kasha would be pleased with the invitation. To my surprise, she refused immediately. At the very moment, I realized that Kasha was really angry. So, I decided to do something to let her know that she was always one of my best friends. 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。 That evening, I happened to see a picture book that Kasha and I had read together. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I slipped my painting into Kasha’s desk, hoping that it would make her forgive me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: That evening, I happened to see a picture book that Kasha and I had read together. Suddenly, I had a good idea; to paint a picture to express my regret to her. I went to my desk immediately and started drawing a few scenes of us enjoying each other’s company. At the bottom of the page, I wrote, “Dear Kasha, I hope that this letter will remind you that you are one of my best friends and that you will never be left out again.” The next day, I slipped my painting into Kasha’s desk, hoping that it would make her forgive me. It did more than that! After she read it, she went to me and said, “I really love your painting and I’m sorry to be so sensitive yesterday. Why not read the picture book again with Liya? Perhaps we can draw more pictures and share them with our classmates at the presentation.” Hearing her words, I exchanged a knowing smile with Liya and felt relieved that the misunderstanding between us was finally cleared up. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者参加学校活动时，没有第一时间邀请自己的好朋友Kasha，Kasha对自己很生气，之后作者通过画一些她们享受彼此陪伴的场景，最终取得Kasha的原谅。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，我碰巧看到一本我和卡莎一起读过图画书。”可知，第一段可描写作者想到通过画一些她们享受彼此陪伴的场景来取得Kasha的原谅。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，我把画塞进卡莎的桌子，希望能让她原谅我。”可知，第二段可描写作者最终和Kasha和好一起参加班级活动。 2. 续写线索：和Liya组队——询问Kasha——Kasha生气——画画道歉——和Kasha和好——一起组队 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①表达：express/show/articulate ②原谅：forgive/pardon ③消除：clear up/clarify 情绪类 ①懊悔：regret/remorse ②敏感：ensitive/touchy 【点睛】[高分句型1]At the bottom of the page, I wrote, “Dear Kasha, I hope that this letter will remind you that you are one of my best friends and that you will never be left out again.”(that引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2]Hearing her words, I exchanged a knowing smile with Liya and felt relieved that the misunderstanding between us was finally cleared up.(现在分词作状语) 听力答案：1-5 ACBCB 6-10 ABABA 11-15 ABCAB 16-20 CBCAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023～2024学年度高一下学期期中联考试卷 英语 考生注意： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4. 本卷命题范围：北师大版至必修第三册 Unit 8 Lesson 1。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The four must-read environmental books are sure to attract the greenest bookworms. Braiding Sweetgrass Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmer looks at the relationship between humans and the land. Kimmer ties lessons she learned to Western society’s view of plants and aims to tell the importance of plants and animals. The book also explores the lessons we may learn from plants and animals and how they relate to certain stories. Braiding Sweetgrass won the 2014 Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award. The End of Nature The End of Nature was published in 1989. Its author, Bill Mckibben, describes the relationship between nature and humans. It expresses the thought that nature was previously independent of humans but now has been affected by them in every way. The book tells the ideas of nature and the value it has lost. Silent Spring Written by Rachel Carson Silent Spring has been described as a landmark work of environmental writing and is praised for bringing the environment al movement into the public’s focus. The book stresses the effects of pesticides (杀虫剂) on the environment. The book eventually led to a change in the pesticide law of the US. The Sixth Extinction The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert describes previous mass extinction events and connects them to many extinctions presently taking place. Kolbert studies the relationships humans have with the environment and finds that we are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction caused by humans. The Sixth Extinction won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction. 1. Whose book focuses on nature’s lost value due to human activities? A. Robin Wall Kimmer’s. B. Rachel Carson’s. C. Bill Mckibben’s. D. Elizabeth Kolbert’s. 2. Why is Silent Spring so important? A. It has reduced the use of land. B. It has affected a law in the US. C It has changed people’s view of plants. D. It has prevented nature from being independent. 3. What do Braiding Sweetgrass and The Sixth Extinction have in common? A. They won a prize. B. They focus on the lessons we learn. C. They are about mass extinction events. D They view nature to be independent of humans. B Cheng Cheung Hung, a Chinese sprinter(短跑运动员), says Asia’s fastest man Su Bingtian is his hero, who was the first Chinese to run 100 meters in 10 seconds in 2015. “Su Bingtian created a new Asian record. His super performance definitely earned him the title of ‘Su-per’. I had the pleasure of shaking his hand, which was a great inspiration,” said Cheng after his competition in China’s first Youth Games on Monday. Four weeks ago, Su delivered a speech, which attracted many young athletes like Cheng Cheung Hung. Cheng not only shook hands with his hero, but also was inspired by Su’s speech. “It was truly an enlightening experience for me,” recalled Cheng. “Su encouraged us to try and challenge ourselves to break the limit. Combining(结合)talent and hard work together, we can step on the world stage.” Majored in physical therapy(理疗), Cheng has well balanced his school studies and training at university. “The main thing is to do a good job of time management for studying and training,” he said. “In the classroom and on the sports field, it’s all about learning.” Through studying physical therapy at university, Cheng got a deeper understanding of human body structure and conducted scientific analysis of sprinting. He said he could be aware of the change in his physical state now and immediately correct his training time based on his knowledge and research. “It would be a great honor to be involved in sports in the future, and to pass on the experience I have learned now to the next generation. I hope to help the development of sports,” Cheng said. 4. What does Cheng Cheung Hung think of Su? A. Admirable. B. Brave. C. Honest. D. Strict. 5. What did Su suggest young athletes do in his speech? A. Go abroad for skills. B. Share experience with each other. C. Spare enough time for rest. D. Challenge themselves. 6. What can we know about Cheng Cheung Hung? A. He is poor at study. B. He came first in the 100-meter race in 2015. C. He earned the title of “Su-per” in his performance. D. He has achieved a balance between study and training. 7. What does Cheng Cheung Hung say about his study in college? A. It cost him much money. B. It led him to be a scientist. C. It helped him with sports training. D. It wasted too much time. C Some Christmas traditions are pretty standard in mainstream (主流) American culture: put up the tree, string up the lights, visit grandma, and so on. Then there’s the one my Colombian family does every year: the Novena de Aguinaldos. We pray (祈祷) for nine days without a stop, and this Novena counts down the nine days before Christmas. Most Americans have never heard of it, but in Colombia, it’s a big deal. Like all good traditions, especially around the holidays, this tradition is about community and getting together with friends and family. My family immigrated (移民) from Colombia when I was just two months old. Every year, we gather with a group of Colombian friends for as many of the nine nights as we can. There are three parts to the Novena de Aguinaldos. The first is the reading: each kid takes turns to read a book. Next comes the gozos, which means “The Joys”. That’s where the music comes in, and everyone gets an instrument, a maraca, a drum, a tin can — whatever you can use to make a sound. And then, the villancicos — Spanish Christmas carols (颂歌) come. I’ve lived my whole life in the US. There’s not a lot of Colombian culture that we still hang onto. Why do we still carry on with the tradition of celebrating the Novenas, then? When I asked my parents the other day, the answer was that immigrants didn’t belong anywhere — not where you were, nor where you were from. So my parents helped create a space where we did. Even if the Novenas were nothing like what we might have celebrated if we’d stayed in Colombia, the Novenas became the heart of our community. But our Novenas are starting to feel a little more breakable. It’s getting harder and harder for everyone to get together each year. Last year, I was studying abroad in Italy and couldn’t make it to any gathering; my brother went off to college and had exams late into December; my sister just moved to a new city, and my parents have taken up jobs in different countries. 8. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The process of celebrating the Novena. B. The development of a Colombian tradition. C. The background of the Colombian family. D. The differences between the Novena and Christmas. 9. Why does the Colombian family celebrate the Novena? A. To remember their dead friends. B. To find a sense of belonging. C. To show their respect for Americans. D. To understand the local culture. 10. What makes celebrating the Novena difficult for the Colombian family? A. Lack of money. B. Their separate busy life. C. American laws. D. Friends’ complaints. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. Growing Up B. Colorful Culture C. Exploring American Christmas Traditions D. Colombian Family’s Novena in the US D When 62-year-old fisherman Kpana Charlie has finished placing the day’s catch in his nets, he likes to sit on his wooden chair and let his mind go back to his childhood. Back then, his home on Sierra Leone’s Nyangai Island seemed like a paradise (天堂). He spent endless hours playing with his friends on the island’s shining white beaches. He liked to kick around a soccer ball on the sports field in his village, and in mango season, he would shake the trees to collect their colorful fruit. Whenever he wanted to avoid doing his homework, he could simply disappear into the thick forest that covered much of the island. Today, Nyangai is disappearing, swallowed up by the sea. As recently as ten years ago, it still measured some 2, 300 feet from end to end. What’s left today is a patch of (一片) sand which is 300 feet long and 250 wide. The forests are gone, flooded by saltwater. The soccer field lies under water for 22 hours of the day. And the land on which Charlie’s family home once stood, the home he was born in, has been disappearing under the waves. In as little as two years, Charlie fears, Nyangai may no longer exist at all. With nearly a third of its population living in coastal areas, and its heavy reliance on agriculture and fishing, Sierra Leone has been treated as one of the world’s most vulnerable countries to the effects of climate (气候) change. Gabriel Jaka, head of operations for the country’s Meteorological Agency, says the reason for Nyangai’s troubles is clear. “We’re seeing a significant sea-level rise and these people don’t have any proper defenses,” he says. “All they have are sandbags. If we don’t act now, the effects on people are just going to get worse.” 12. What do the figures in paragraph 3 show? A. Nyangai is large in area. B. Nyangai has a long history. C. Nyangai is being destroyed by humans. D. Nyangai is suffering a lot from a sea-level rise. 13. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Far-reaching. B. Protected. C.

Then each team will make a presentation by the end of the week. The team that makes the best presentation will get a prize.” As soon as our teacher finished explaining the rules, Liya went to me and asked, “Teammates?” Since Liya and I were interested in picture books and took painting class together, I agreed to be her teammate without a second thought. During the lunchtime, we went to the dining room together to exchange ideas on the reading project over lunch. Kasha, with whom I always did stuff together, happened to sit at the next table. “Kasha, do you have any good idea for us?” I asked casually. “Why should I give you guys ideas?” she replied in a hurt tone. “I’ll save them for my own team. After all, I am not your first choice for the project.” On hearing this, I realized that she was mad with me, for a good reason. If I were her，not only would I feel hurt, but I’d also be worried about which team I could join. Now I had my teammate and Kasha didn’t. With my eyes fixed on the floor, I apologized in a low voice, “I’m sorry to leave you out. But would you like to join us now?” I thought that Kasha would be pleased with the invitation. To my surprise, she refused immediately. At the very moment, I realized that Kasha was really angry. So, I decided to do something to let her know that she was always one of my best friends. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 That evening, I happened to see a picture book that Kasha and I had read together. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I slipped my painting into Kasha’s desk, hoping that it would make her forgive me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 ACBCB 6-10 ABABA 11-15 ABCAB 16-20 CBCAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
