I heard about it from my neighbors who used to take part in a year ago. I thought it would be fun and persuaded some of my cousins to join me. Most of the people there were teenagers. Over half of the people there were from China, like me, but there were also people from Thailand, Australia and the USA. We had to pick up all the rubbish that we could find on the seaside. It has all made me realize how important it is for everyone to be aware of the environment. So I’m determined to get my family to recycle as much as we can. It’ll be worth it if we can make our seas safer for all those beautiful sea animals. So, if you’d like to join me taking part in this Day next year, it’ll be on January 11th. The focus on that day will be on getting rubbish out of rivers.
第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节,满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C 和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
We track down some of the world’s greatest rail journeys.
The Canadian
The trip from Toronto to Vancouver is sleepy 83 hours long — but considering you’ll be winding through snow-capped Rocky Mountains and Canadian Shield forests, the pace suits anyone looking for relaxation, rest and peaceful views. Huge glass windows make the most of the scenery as the train travels across 4,466 km of Canada’s diverse landscape.
The Blue Train
The train spans 1,600 km of track linking Pretoria with Cape Town. More like a hotel on rails than a train, there are carriages where passengers can rest in comfort and have full-sized baths. The journey takes 27 hours from start to finish and crosses some of the most diverse and picturesque scenery on the African continent. Don’t expect to feel the rush of wind through your hair though, as its average speed is just 57 km/h.
The Indian Pacific
Departing from Sydney, it takes about 70 hours for the Indian Pacific to cross the Australian continent on its way to Perth. Stopping at the mining town of Broken Hill, Adelaide, and Kalgoorlie you’ll cover 4,352 km at an average speed of 85 km/h. At that rate, you’ll catch the full glory of the sun setting across the horizon on the longest stretch of straight rail track in the world. Travel in spring for the best of Western Australia’s wildflowers.
Jinghu High Speed Rail
The showcase of China’s modern rail fleet was launched in 2012 and shaves 20 hours off the 1, 303 km trip from Beijing to Shanghai, delivering passengers to their destination in five super-fast hours. It is currently the fastest long-distance passenger train in the world, reaching speeds of 300 km/h.
21. What do the Canadian and the Blue Train have in common?
A. They travel in a leisurely pace. B. They both operate in Africa.
C. They cross a whole continent. D. They have large windows.
22. What can we learn about the Indian Pacific?
A. It covers the longest distance. B. It offers beautiful scenery.
C. It provides full - sized baths. D. It only serves in spring.
23. Which of the following train has the fastest speed?
A. The Canadian B. The Blue Train C. The Indian Pacific D. Jinghu High Speed Rail
【答案】21. A 22. B 23. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个铁路旅行的情况和特点。

B
If someone asked you to name a species in need of conservation, it wouldn’t take long for you to land upon the polar bear. As the most symbolic animal of the Arctic, polar bears perfectly adapt to such a tough environment. Although most are born on land, polar bears spend the majority of their lives around water and on the sea ice of the Arctic Ocean. While they are not facing upcoming extinction, the destruction (破坏) caused to their habitats by climate change puts their long-term survival at risk and their numbers are predicted to decline by 30% by 2050.
It is estimated that there are 26,000 polar bears in the wild, living across countries that border the Arctic Ocean. They are excellent swimmers, able to reach a top speed of 6 mph. They have been known to travel areas of up to 600,000 sq km to find their prey (猎物). Polar bears have an incredibly well-developed sense of smell and can discover prey up to 1 km away.
The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the global average melting the sea ice that is vital to the polar bears’ ability to find food. The polar bear’s food supply is directly impacted by the melting ice. Seals, their main meal, also breed on the ice. So the whole seal population dwindles too as a consequence of that change. And it has forced polar bears to look further for seals. This has increased conflict between humans and polar bears, as they come closer to human settlements looking for food.
The fight to save polar bears is in fact linked to the joint efforts of us humans. There are several organisations aimed to aid polar bears. Polar Bears International is the only conservation group aimed to help polar bear. Consisting of scientists and conservationists, they are expanding our knowledge about polar bear using the most advanced technology. Another is the International Association for Bear Research and Management (IBA), a group with over 500 members from over 60 countries who work together to share research and information on eight bear species including the polar bear.
24. What puts the polar bear at risk?
A. Illegal hunting. B. Severe pollution. C. Climate change. D. Invasive species.
25. What can we learn about the polar bear from the paragraphs 2 and 3?
A. They have a sharp sense of smell.
B. They search for food in a small area.
C. They are poor at swimming.
D. They live in harmony with humans.
26. Which is closest in meaning to “dwindle” underlined in paragraph 3?
A. Expand. B. Decrease. C. Recover. D. Disappear.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce polar bears’ habitats and hunting skills.
B. To show the influence of climate change.
C. To display some conservation groups’ achievements.
D. To call on people to protect polar bears.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了北极熊受气候影响生存数量在下降,一些保护北极熊的组织正在努力使人们了解北极熊目前的处境以便更好地保护它们。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“While they are not facing upcoming extinction, the destruction (破坏) caused to their habitats by climate change puts their long-term survival at risk and their numbers are predicted to decline by 30% by 2050. (虽然它们没有面临即将到来的灭绝,但气候变化对它们栖息地造成的破坏使它们的长期生存受到威胁,预计到2050年,它们的数量将减少30%)”可知,气候变化使北极熊处于危险之中。故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Polar bears have an incredibly well-developed sense of smell and can discover prey up to 1 km away. (北极熊有着极其发达的嗅觉,能发现1公里外的猎物)”可推知,北极熊的嗅觉很灵敏。故选A。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段划线词前“The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the global average melting the sea ice that is vital to the polar bears’ ability to find food. The polar bear’s food supply is directly impacted by the melting ice. Seals, their main meal, also breed on the ice. (北极的变暖速度是全球平均速度的两倍,海冰融化对北极熊寻找食物的能力至关重要。北极熊的食物供应直接受到冰融化的影响。它们的主食海豹也在冰上繁殖)”可知,受到全球变暖的影响北极熊的数量在减少。由此可知,划线词与decrease“减少”的意思一致。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The fight to save polar bears is in fact linked to the joint efforts of us humans. There are several organisations aimed to aid polar bears. Polar Bears International is the only conservation group aimed to help polar bear. (拯救北极熊的斗争实际上与我们人类的共同努力有关。有几个组织致力于帮助北极熊。北极熊国际是唯一一个旨在帮助北极熊的保护组织)”可推知,作者写这篇文章的目的是号召人们保护北极熊。故选D。
C
I was standing in front of a stranger’s house, rescue box in hand, my head full of instructions to follow. It would be my first test as a volunteer wildlife rescuer. A call had come through that afternoon from a man: an unknown bird was attacked by other birds. He saved the victim. Could someone please help to transfer it?
I was anxious even at the door: would I be able to transfer it neatly into my rescue box? I entered the house, lifted a shoebox and saw a bird standing on thin legs, shaking. Hesitating for quite a while, I decided to transfer the whole shoebox into my rescue box.
Back home, I could see no obvious sign of injury, but it refused to eat the bird food I provided. I phoned a specialist. She told me this species hunts insects on the wing, so keeping it longer than overnight would make it starve. I released it and it flew high immediately. “What would be different for this delicate creature this time around?” I wondered. Nothing. But at least it would win its life again.
That was in 2009. My first rescue was a second chance for the bird as well as for me. Five months earlier, I’d received a cancer diagnosis. After the treatment, I recovered but was told I couldn’t take on my former work, which would worsen my physical condition. I was at the point where I didn’t know how to schedule my days. Then I heard about a wildlife rescue group that was seeking volunteers and holding a course. I’d been attracted by animals ever since I was a young girl but had always thought that I’d missed that boat. Then I found the boat again.
I did the course and acquired qualifications. All I had to do was wait for a rescue call. And it came: it was in a box waiting, just for me.
28. What can we learn about the author in her first wildlife rescue?
A. She forgot rescue instructions. B. She experienced high pressure.
C. She lacked proper tools for rescue. D. She was skilled in doing the rescue.
29. What would probably happen to the bird after the release?
A. It would die from the injuries. B. It would find the food it desired.
C. It would seek someone for adoption. D. It would be too weak and get starved.
30. Why did the author take on bird rescue?
A. To try a new hobby. B. To relieve her work stress.
C. To find life’s meaning again. D. To cure her disease completely.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. The Skills of Rescue B. Wildlife Protection
C. Our Second Chance D. Thoughts after Cancer
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者得了癌症,康复后为了减轻工作压力,参加了野生动物救援。在作者第一次营救了一只小鸟后,作者感悟到这时给了小鸟第二次生命的机会,也是给了自己第二次机会。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“I was standing in front of a stranger’s house, rescue box in hand, my head full of instructions to follow. It would be my first test as a volunteer wildlife rescuer. (我站在一个陌生人的房子前,手里拿着救援箱,满脑子都是要遵循的指令。这将是我作为志愿野生动物救援者的第一次考验)”可知,作者第一次救援时不知所措,就像一次考验,作者压力很大。因此,作者第一次野生动物救援时经历了很大压力。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。文章第三段讲到“She told me this species hunts insects on the wing, so keeping it longer than overnight would make it starve. I released it and it flew high immediately. “What would be different for this delicate creature this time around?” I wondered. Nothing. But at least it would win its life again. (她告诉我,这个物种捕食飞行中的昆虫,所以让它停留超过一夜会让它挨饿。我放了它,它立刻飞得很高。我想知道“这一次,这种脆弱的生物会有什么不同?”没什么。但至少它会再次赢得生命。)”可知,这只鸟又获得了生命。因此,放生后,这只鸟可能会找到它想要的食物。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。文章倒数第二段讲到“That was in 2009. My first rescue was a second chance for the bird as well as for me. (那是在2009年。我的第一次救援对这只鸟和我来说都是第二次机会)”以及“I’d been attracted by animals ever since I was a young girl but had always thought that I’d missed that boat. Then I found the boat again. (我从小就被动物吸引,但一直认为我错过了那艘船。然后我又找到了那艘船。)”可知,通过这次拯救小鸟以及自己经历癌症可知,作者又重新找到了自己的那艘船:生命的方向及价值。因此,作者做小鸟救援工作时为了重新找到生命的意义。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。讲述了作者得了癌症,康复后为了减轻工作压力,参加了野生动物救援。在作者第一次营救了一只小鸟后,作者感悟到这时给了小鸟第二次生命的机会,也是给了自己第二次机会。文章倒数第二段讲到“That was in 2009. My first rescue was a second chance for the bird as well as for me. (那是在2009年。我的第一次救援对这只鸟和我来说都是第二次机会)”可知,最适合这篇文章的题目是:我们的第二次机会。故选C。
D
Another year of record fossil fuel burning leading to record high global temperatures. Time is running out to solve the climate crisis, and great disasters come near us. You’re probably used to such headlines, and you may have moments of hopelessness about the future. But can you turn such gloom (灰暗) messaging of climate crisis into meaningful change? Our recent global study says yes — but the messages must be used wisely.
In 2019, in his book, David Wallace - Wells painted a terrifying landscape of the suffering awaiting us if we don’t address climate change, leaving many feeling consumed by fear and helplessness. Not everyone is a fan of his gloom messaging. Climate scientists like Michael Mann have warned against it , messaging that it can depress and discourage the public, and lead to further climate inaction. And the title of a new book by Hannah Ritchie states clearly that it’s Not the End of the World: How We Can Be the First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet.
To help figure out the precise impact of climate gloom messaging, we recently completed a large experiment. Our findings revealed that gloom messaging was highly effective for stimulating climate change information sharing, like posting on the Internet or social media. Wallace-Wells was right in this aspect. But Mann and Ritchie were also right. Hearing these messages actually decreased people’s positive behaviors against environmental pollution — when faced with the enormous messages of the climate crisis, individual -level actions might seem futile (徒劳的). So gloom messaging can do both things: cause helplessness, discouraging individual-level action; but also motivate people to spread the word.
Our research also found several other messages that moved the needle on climate change beliefs and actions. This suggests that understanding how different messages work, and in what contexts, will be critical to changing beliefs, spreading the word, and motivating action.
32. What message does gloom messaging intend to deliver?
A. The unstoppable tendency to disasters.
B. Disastrous effects of burning fossil fuels.
C. The urgency to deal with climate crisis.
D. Confidence in environmental protection.
33. Why do some climate scientists disagree with Wallace -Wells’ view?
A. Because they don’t believe there is severe climate crisis.
B. Because they fear it will lead to more environmental pollution.
C. Because they plan to build a new world in another planet.
D. Because they worry it makes people give up climate actions.
34. How does gloom messaging affect the public according to paragraph 3?
A. It encourages people to fight against climate change.
B. It increases people’s awareness of climate crisis.
C. It has no impact on climate change behaviors.
D. It misleads people into spreading wrong news.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The lack of solution for inspiring climate actions.
B. Gloom messages’ influences on climate behaviors.
C. The importance of studying different messages’ effects.
D. Right attitudes to climate change beliefs and behaviors.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了我们常常在媒体看到关于气候的悲观信息,一定要研究这些信息的影响,建议明智地使用这些信息,把这些信息转变为有益的信息。
32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Time is running out to solve the climate crisis, and great disasters come near us.(解决气候危机的时间所剩无几,大灾难近在眼前)”可知,这条令人郁闷的信息本是想告知大家解决气候问题的迫切性。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 2019, in his book, David Wallace - Wells painted a terrifying landscape of the suffering awaiting us if we don’t address climate change, leaving many feeling consumed by fear and helplessness….Climate scientists like Michael Mann have warned against it , messaging that it can depress and discourage the public, and lead to further climate inaction.(2019年,大卫·华莱士-威尔斯(David Wallace - Wells)在他的书中描绘了一幅可怕的景象,如果我们不解决气候变化问题,我们将面临可怕的苦难,让许多人感到恐惧和无助。…迈克尔·曼等气候科学家对此提出了警告,称这可能会让公众感到沮丧和气馁,并导致进一步的气候不作为)”可知,这些科学家担心,人们感到绝望而放弃努力,不去积极应对气候问题。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Our findings revealed that gloom messaging was highly effective for stimulating climate change information sharing, like posting on the Internet or social media.(我们的研究结果表明,悲观的信息传递对于刺激气候变化信息共享非常有效,比如在互联网或社交媒体上发帖)”可知,这条悲观信息提升了人们对于气候问题的危机意识。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Our research also found several other messages that moved the needle on climate change beliefs and actions. This suggests that understanding how different messages work, and in what contexts, will be critical to changing beliefs, spreading the word, and motivating action.(我们的研究还发现了其他一些影响气候变化信念和行动的信息。这表明,理解不同的信息是如何起作用的,以及在什么情况下起作用,对于改变信念、传播信息和激励行动是至关重要的)”可知,本段表示正确研究理解不同信息的影响是很重要的。故选C项。

A
We track down some of the world’s greatest rail journeys.
The Canadian
The trip from Toronto to Vancouver is sleepy 83 hours long — but considering you’ll be winding through snow-capped Rocky Mountains and Canadian Shield forests, the pace suits anyone looking for relaxation, rest and peaceful views. Huge glass windows make the most of the scenery as the train travels across 4,466 km of Canada’s diverse landscape.
The Blue Train
The train spans 1,600 km of track linking Pretoria with Cape Town. More like a hotel on rails than a train, there are carriages where passengers can rest in comfort and have full-sized baths. The journey takes 27 hours from start to finish and crosses some of the most diverse and picturesque scenery on the African continent. Don’t expect to feel the rush of wind through your hair though, as its average speed is just 57 km/h.
The Indian Pacific
Departing from Sydney, it takes about 70 hours for the Indian Pacific to cross the Australian continent on its way to Perth. Stopping at the mining town of Broken Hill, Adelaide, and Kalgoorlie you’ll cover 4,352 km at an average speed of 85 km/h. At that rate, you’ll catch the full glory of the sun setting across the horizon on the longest stretch of straight rail track in the world. Travel in spring for the best of Western Australia’s wildflowers.
Jinghu High Speed Rail
The showcase of China’s modern rail fleet was launched in 2012 and shaves 20 hours off the 1, 303 km trip from Beijing to Shanghai, delivering passengers to their destination in five super-fast hours. It is currently the fastest long-distance passenger train in the world, reaching speeds of 300 km/h.
21. What do the Canadian and the Blue Train have in common?
A. They travel in a leisurely pace. B. They both operate in Africa.
C. They cross a whole continent. D. They have large windows.
22. What can we learn about the Indian Pacific?
A. It covers the longest distance. B. It offers beautiful scenery.
C. It provides full - sized baths. D. It only serves in spring.
23. Which of the following train has the fastest speed?
A. The Canadian B. The Blue Train C. The Indian Pacific D. Jinghu High Speed Rail
B
If someone asked you to name a species in need of conservation, it wouldn’t take long for you to land upon the polar bear. As the most symbolic animal of the Arctic, polar bears perfectly adapt to such a tough environment. Although most are born on land, polar bears spend the majority of their lives around water and on the sea ice of the Arctic Ocean. While they are not facing upcoming extinction, the destruction (破坏) caused to their habitats by climate change puts their long-term survival at risk and their numbers are predicted to decline by 30% by 2050.
It is estimated that there are 26,000 polar bears in the wild, living across countries that border the Arctic Ocean. They are excellent swimmers, able to reach a top speed of 6 mph. They have been known to travel areas of up to 600,000 sq km to find their prey (猎物). Polar bears have an incredibly well-developed sense of smell and can discover prey up to 1 km away.
The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the global average melting the sea ice that is vital to the polar bears’ ability to find food. The polar bear’s food supply is directly impacted by the melting ice. Seals, their main meal, also breed on the ice. So the whole seal population dwindles too as a consequence of that change. And it has forced polar bears to look further for seals. This has increased conflict between humans and polar bears, as they come closer to human settlements looking for food.
The fight to save polar bears is in fact linked to the joint efforts of us humans. There are several organisations aimed to aid polar bears. Polar Bears International is the only conservation group aimed to help polar bear. Consisting of scientists and conservationists, they are expanding our knowledge about polar bear using the most advanced technology. Another is the International Association for Bear Research and Management (IBA), a group with over 500 members from over 60 countries who work together to share research and information on eight bear species including the polar bear.
24. What puts the polar bear at risk?
A. Illegal hunting. B. Severe pollution. C. Climate change. D. Invasive species.
25. What can we learn about the polar bear from the paragraphs 2 and 3?
A. They have a sharp sense of smell.
B. They search for food in a small area.
C. They are poor at swimming.
D. They live in harmony with humans.
26. Which is closest in meaning to “dwindle” underlined in paragraph 3?
A. Expand. B. Decrease. C. Recover. D. Disappear.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce polar bears’ habitats and hunting skills.
B. To show the influence of climate change.
C. To display some conservation groups’ achievements.
D. To call on people to protect polar bears.
C
I was standing in front of a stranger’s house, rescue box in hand, my head full of instructions to follow. It would be my first test as a volunteer wildlife rescuer. A call had come through that afternoon from a man: an unknown bird was attacked by other birds. He saved the victim. Could someone please help to transfer it?
I was anxious even at the door: would I be able to transfer it neatly into my rescue box? I entered the house, lifted a shoebox and saw a bird standing on thin legs, shaking. Hesitating for quite a while, I decided to transfer the whole shoebox into my rescue box.
Back home, I could see no obvious sign of injury, but it refused to eat the bird food I provided. I phoned a specialist. She told me this species hunts insects on the wing, so keeping it longer than overnight would make it starve. I released it and it flew high immediately. “What would be different for this delicate creature this time around?” I wondered. Nothing. But at least it would win its life again.
That was in 2009. My first rescue was a second chance for the bird as well as for me. Five months earlier, I’d received a cancer diagnosis. After the treatment, I recovered but was told I couldn’t take on my former work, which would worsen my physical condition. I was at the point where I didn’t know how to schedule my days. Then I heard about a wildlife rescue group that was seeking volunteers and holding a course. I’d been attracted by animals ever since I was a young girl but had always thought that I’d missed that boat. Then I found the boat again.
I did the course and acquired qualifications. All I had to do was wait for a rescue call. And it came: it was in a box waiting, just for me.
28. What can we learn about the author in her first wildlife rescue?
A. She forgot rescue instructions. B. She experienced high pressure.
C. She lacked proper tools for rescue. D. She was skilled in doing the rescue.
29. What would probably happen to the bird after the release?
A. It would die from the injuries. B. It would find the food it desired.
C. It would seek someone for adoption. D. It would be too weak and get starved.
30. Why did the author take on bird rescue?
A. To try a new hobby. B. To relieve her work stress.
C. To find life’s meaning again. D. To cure her disease completely.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. The Skills of Rescue B. Wildlife Protection
C. Our Second Chance D. Thoughts after Cancer
D
Another year of record fossil fuel burning leading to record high global temperatures. Time is running out to solve the climate crisis, and great disasters come near us. You’re probably used to such headlines, and you may have moments of hopelessness about the future. But can you turn such gloom (灰暗) messaging of climate crisis into meaningful change? Our recent global study says yes — but the messages must be used wisely.
In 2019, in his book, David Wallace - Wells painted a terrifying landscape of the suffering awaiting us if we don’t address climate change, leaving many feeling consumed by fear and helplessness. Not everyone is a fan of his gloom messaging. Climate scientists like Michael Mann have warned against it , messaging that it can depress and discourage the public, and lead to further climate inaction. And the title of a new book by Hannah Ritchie states clearly that it’s Not the End of the World: How We Can Be the First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet.
To help figure out the precise impact of climate gloom messaging, we recently completed a large experiment. Our findings revealed that gloom messaging was highly effective for stimulating climate change information sharing, like posting on the Internet or social media. Wallace-Wells was right in this aspect. But Mann and Ritchie were also right. Hearing these messages actually decreased people’s positive behaviors against environmental pollution — when faced with the enormous messages of the climate crisis, individual -level actions might seem futile (徒劳的). So gloom messaging can do both things: cause helplessness, discouraging individual-level action; but also motivate people to spread the word.
Our research also found several other messages that moved the needle on climate change beliefs and actions. This suggests that understanding how different messages work, and in what contexts, will be critical to changing beliefs, spreading the word, and motivating action.
32. What message does gloom messaging intend to deliver?
A. The unstoppable tendency to disasters.
B. Disastrous effects of burning fossil fuels.
C. The urgency to deal with climate crisis.
D. Confidence in environmental protection.
33. Why do some climate scientists disagree with Wallace -Wells’ view?
A. Because they don’t believe there is severe climate crisis.
B. Because they fear it will lead to more environmental pollution.
C. Because they plan to build a new world in another planet.
D. Because they worry it makes people give up climate actions.
34. How does gloom messaging affect the public according to paragraph 3?
A It encourages people to fight against climate change.
B. It increases people’s awareness of climate crisis.
C. It has no impact on climate change behaviors.
D. It misleads people into spreading wrong news.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The lack of solution for inspiring climate actions.
B. Gloom messages’ influences on climate behaviors.
C. The importance of studying different messages’ effects.
D. Right attitudes to climate change beliefs and behaviors.
