With the efforts (努力) of China’s government and people, the rate of forest coverage in China has reached to 22.96%, compared (与……相比) to 5.05% forty years ago, according to a recent report from the State Forestry and Grassland Administration (SFGA). Over the past forty years, China planted billions (几十亿) of trees as a part of its fight against growing deserts, mostly in its north. Each year, people plant trees over an area nearly the size of Ireland, according to Nature. In 1978, China began a nationwide tree-planting programme known as the Three North Shelterbelt Forest Programme, also known as “the Great Green Wall”. It has helped to plant more than 66 billion trees across 13 provinces in the country’s north to act as windbreaks (防风林), according to China Daily. Since 2018 SFGA has made more efforts to build a greener country. Its purpose is to grow at least 6.7 million hectares (公顷) of forest every year in the next 15 years. Besides planting more trees, China has tried to bring back grasslands. It has also used strict forest protection methods and banned (禁止) all commercial logging (商业伐木) since last August. The high-speed growth of forests needs more people to take part in the green activities. For example, Ant Forest, an Alipay mobile payment app, plants real trees for users who get “green energy” by taking part in low-carbon (低碳) activities. Since 2016, it has helped to plant about 122 million trees in China’s driest areas. China was praised as “one of the most successful countries worldwide in greening the desert” by United Nations Environment Programme Executive Director Erik Solheim. 41. How much has the rate of forest coverage rose during the forty years? A. 22.96%. B. 5.05%. C. 17.91%. D. 28.01%. 42. Why has China planted billions of trees over the past forty years? A. Because China wants to prevent the spread of the desert. B. Because China wants to turn all the deserts into the green land. C. Because China wants to build a new area nearly the size of Ireland. D. Because China wants to have more people join in the low-carbon activities. 43. What efforts did China take to build a greener country? A. Tried to bring back grasslands. B. Used strict forest protection methods. C. Banned all commercial logging. D. All of the above. 44. What was the best title of the passage? A. Green the Desert B. China Gets Greener C. China’s windbreaks D. Low-carbon Life in China 45. Where may you read the passage? A. In newspaper. B. In a traveling book. C. In a novel book. D. In a fashion magazine. B “Good luck, boys!” Miss Rose waved to us at the school gate. Outside, we opened the envelope (信封). We read: “What Disney movie had a Stravinsky song in it? What was the song? What was the movie? Go back to the library to find the answers to these questions. Then go to see Dr. Hamilton in the music department at the college. He will tell you whether your answers are correct.” Back at the library, we discovered Jasmine and Jackson already sitting by a computer, looking for answers to their clue questions. They left soon after we arrived. “They’re ahead of us! We need to hurry,” I said. Gabe typed as fast as he could, and it didn’t take us long to find our answers. I hoped the rain wouldn’t stop us. We could hear thunder once we got back outside the library. “Hopefully Jackson and Jasmine don’t know their way around the college like I do. Maybe it will slow them down,” I said, as we got to the music building. I knew my way around because my mom works here. I also knew Dr. Hamiton, who would check our answers. … I introduced Gabe and Dr. Hamiton when we got to the right office. “Let’s see those questions and answers,” Dr. Hamilton said. I handed him our paper. Dr. Hamilton read, “You have Rite of Spring as the song and Fantasia as the movie. These are correct.” He handed us an envelope and said, “Congratulations! You may open this once you are outside.” We shouted our goodbyes and thanks as we raced back to our bikes. “Go to the city’s storage building on Leafy Path in Pioneer Park, and look for a box. Further instructions will be inside.” Gabe opened the envelope and read it out. 46. What’s the route of Gabe and I? A Library --- School --- Pioneers Park --- College B. Library --- Pioneers Park --- School --- College C. School --- Library --- College --- Pioneers Park D. School --- College --- Library --- Pioneers Park 47. What does the underlined words “once” probably mean? A. 一……就…… B. 除非 C. 如果 D. 假如 48. Rite of Spring is ________. A. a movie B. a book C. a library D. a song 49. From the passage, we can know ________. A. Dr. Hamilton was my mum’s boss B. Dr. Hamilton worked in the college C. Gab e and I went to the college for the first time D. Jasmine and Jackson left the college earlier than Gabe and I C The Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center (眼科中心) at Sun Yat-sen University has achieved a milestone in the field of eye operation by completing the world’s first remote micron-level (远程微米级) operation on rabbits using their 5G robot. The operations on 12 rabbits took place on June 23 at the center in Guangzhou. And the team operated at the Hainan Eye Hospital in Haikou. The operation was done by professor Lin Haotian’s team, and all the rabbits operated on are in good condition after a month of observation (观察). According to Lin, who is the director of the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, the breakthrough will help speed up remote medicine in China, and improve the country’s medical machines to world-leading levels. It will also play an important role in the development of national medical standards. Lin said that this achievement has a deep influence on dealing with the imbalance and the uneven distribution (分布不均) of medical resources across the country. It will be possible for remote medicine to overcome challenges by saving time for doctors and patients, reducing costs, and improving treatment results. “If everything goes smoothly, 5G remote micron ophthalmic operation will come to humans during half a year.” he said. This was the reason why the operation was done this time. Also, the operation builds on their other operations on mice, pigs, and other animals, proving the 5G robot’s stability (稳定) and accuracy (精准). Zhong Xingwu, Hainan Eye Hospital’s vice-president, stressed the importance of the remote operations for ophthalmic medicine’s development. This kind of technology can make up the lack (缺失) of high-quality medical resources for eye health in some remote areas. 50. The rabbits received the operations ________. A. at Sun Yat-sen University B. at Hainan Eye Hospital C. at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center D. in Guangdong Province 51. According to Lin, what will the breakthrough do for China? A. Improve the good results of eye operations. B. Increase the number of eye doctors in the country. C. Provide medical treatment for people in remote areas. D. Improve the country’s medical machines to world-leading levels. 52. What does the underlined word “overcome” mean in Paragraph 5? A. face B. solve C. meet D. ignore 53. What was the real purpose of these remote operations? A. To test the stability of the 5G robot. B. To save those patients with eye problems. C. To develop 5G robots for human operation. D. To provide the rabbits with medical treatment. 54. According to Zhong Xingwu, what’s the importance of the success of the operations? A. It proves the stability and safety of the 5G robot system. B. It will lead to the use of 5G medical robots nationwide. C. It will help remote areas to share more medical resources. D. It will improve deveopled areas’ working with remote areas. 五、还原句子（共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填在空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项 Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: music improves certain language abilities in the brain. Here, we look at two examples. A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. ___55___ The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly. ___56___ Think about violinists in an orchestra (管弦乐团). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise. Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. ___57___ Why does this work? Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged (损坏的) parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again. Music improves concentration (注意力), memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. It can even help sick people get better. Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp (敏锐的) as we get older. ___58___ A. Music helps people solve some hearing problems. B. The violinists develop their memories by playing the violin. C. Music is not only enjoyable, but also good for us in many other ways. D. Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. E. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak. F. In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. 第二卷（共26分） 六、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 During the Warring States Period, King Zhao of the State of Yan wanted to gather talented people ____59____ (make) the state strong.

I hope I can offer you some useful suggestions. It’s true that study comes first to a ninth grader, while health matters more. You’d better make plans for your schoolwork and manage your time better so that you can have more time for your hobbies and sports. Anyway, it is your parents who care about you most. They just don’t know how to express their love. Sharing your real thoughts and feelings with them is of great help to your relationship. To be honest, working as the monitor of a class is really a challenging job, because sometimes you do need to depend on others or worry about what others are thinking about or doing. However, you are supposed to learn to work with others in a wise way. What’s more, you can talk to your teacher and find out ways to make your classmates take part more willingly and actively. As for being serious or funny, everyone has a different sense of humor. If you aren’t a good joke-teller, you can be a great listener or show some other talents. It’s OK to just be yourself. Hope my advice is of some help to you. Yours sincerely, Mike 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
