They keep our air clean, reduce noise pollution, improve water quality and provide food and building materials. ②Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At one to three years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to warn animals not to go near. ③When trees are four years old, they begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face challenges later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit. ④A tree doesn’t become a real adult until it is 20 to 25 years old. The adult tree reaches its largest size. Not only does the adult tree give us shade (荫凉), oxygen and natural beauty, it is also a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to nap (打盹) , read a book, listen to music or enjoy tea. If the adult tree receives proper care, it will continue to live healthily for many years. ⑤Gradually, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. When a tree has been dead and becomes hollow, it provides a hole as a home for small animals to live in. When it is dead, it will be a source (来源) of food for many other animals. ⑥In many ways, the life of a tree is similar to our own life experience. When looking at the life of a tree, we learn that each period of life brings its own form of joy and challenge. Enjoy every minute of it and take care of the trees! 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 36. According to the passage, when do trees learn to protect themselves? A. At one to three years old. B. At four years old. C. At 15 years old. D. At 20 to 25 years old. 37. Which of the following about trees is NOT true? A Older trees could do nothing for nature. B. Many young trees grow-thorns to warn animals. C. An adult tree can make a great place for us to nap. D. An adult tree gives us shade, oxygen and natural beauty. 38. What does the underlined word “hollow” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Dead. B. Empty. C. Old. D. Large. 39. Which is the right structure (结构) of the passage?\ (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph2, …) A. B. C. D. 40. What is the best title for this passage? A. The Life of Trees B. The Love of Nature C. Trees in Our Life D. Loving Trees (C) Elephants are the largest land animals. There are two kinds of elephants in Africa. The African bush elephant (草原象) is bigger and more common. The African forest elephant is smaller and much rarer (稀罕的). Each kind of African elephant is endangered. Yet the African forest elephant is in greater danger. People have been taking over their homes in rainforests. They’ve cut down trees to make farms and houses. And they kill the elephants for their ivory too. Their population is falling and there are fewer than 150,000 left in the wild. However, there is good news. People are trying to protect them. Today, most African forest elephants’ homes are in Gabon, an African country. People in Gabon are now working to help the elephants. How? There are a few ways. The government plans to limit (限制) the number of trees people can cut down. This would protect the elephants’ homes. Workers are also building walls around the country’s national parks. That will prevent the elephants from going to nearby farms—where they might get killed by the farmers. Leaders in Gabon are also supporting tourism (旅游业). That means getting people to visit Gabon to see elephants. This can create new jobs and bring money into the country. More importantly, it can show that elephants are more valuable when they are alive. It is necessary to save Africa’s elephants. And it’s not just because they’re beautiful. They also play a key role in keeping the forests healthy and helping our planet. So protecting the elephants means protecting people too. In other words, helping the elephants also means helping us. 根据短文内容，判断正（T）、误（F）。 41. The African forest elephant is smaller and less common than the African bush elephant. 42. African forest elephants are losing their homes because of human activities. 43. People build walls to protect elephants from being killed by big animals such as tigers. 44. Leaders in Gabon support tourism only want to show living elephants are more valuable. 45. We should protect the elephants even though they have nothing to do with us. (D) People travelled to see the buildings, the food and the national dresses in foreign countries because they thought they would not be the same as those of their own countries in the past. ___46___ They all have their Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere. They all have their McDonald’s, their KFCs and their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere, and most city centers are full of office buildings. And of course, people are driving the same brands of Japanese or European cars. Then why is the foreign travel more popular nowadays? What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country? The answer could be that people could be very interested in the past. ___47___ Most people travel overseas to find out what foreign countries’ history and culture used to be like, not what they are like today. Tourists visit different kinds of museums in foreign countries so that they can learn their history and culture. Every country also has its own beautiful places for tourists to visit. ___48___ ___49___ It is not just its old buildings, its works of art or beautiful places, but also the people who live in it. This is why a country such as Thailand attracts (吸引) millions of people. The tourists come mainly because of the friendliness of the people there. It is why the Pacific islands are also so popular. ___50___ 阅读短文，把A~E五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整。 A. The culture of a country means a lot. B. The friendly people make visitors feel welcome. C. However, one large city is similar to another at present. D. It’s a nation’s history and culture that are main attractions (吸引力). E. Their own special scenery would certainly attract tourists from other countries. (E) Life is hard for 16-year-old Chen Xingrong. However, the young boy has managed to become a great swimmer, thanks to his hard training and the love and support from his family. Born in Hainan, Chen could not say a word until the age of two. Soon he was found to have autism (自闭症). His parents were very worried. “We had never expected that such a thing would happen to us,” said Chen’s father. In 2021, the father learned that swimming was helpful to people with autism. So he began to learn to swim by watching videos and reading books. Then he spent three months teaching his son, but the efforts all seemed to go in vain (徒劳). He didn’t give up, though. To his surprise, after another three months, Chen had developed the ability to control his breath under water. His father was so excited that he began to work harder to train Chen. In October 2021, Chen went to Xi’an to take part in the 11th National Paralympic Games and the 8th Special Olympics. The boy won five medals (奖牌), including a gold. “It was really exciting,” his father said. “My son looked very happy at that time!” Besides swimming, learning basic life skills is also an important part of life for a teenager with autism. “I hope that my son can live well on his own when we grow old,” said Chen’s father. Thanks to his father’s help, Chen has learned to buy things in the market. He also does voluntary work at supermarkets and restaurants. “He is part of the community, and my wife and I hope he will live a wonderful life in the future,” said Chen’s father. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 51.
