Ellen Kalish was happy to help, who runs the Manhattan Wildlife Center in New York. She is used to getting calls about taking in wild animals. The caller told her where this tiny owl was hiding out. It was found inside the Christmas tree in the Rockefeller Center, where it is a yearly tradition to decorate trees. But this year, the tree looked a little worse. Many people made fun of its branches. They called the tree a “symbol of 2020”， meaning its sad look reminded them how tough the past year was. The tale of the owl's rescue quickly became the highlight of this year's tree. Before the tree was put up to decorate, one of the workers caught sight of the creature. It was buried in the base of the tree. The owl most likely traveled with the tree on its journey to Manhattan. But there was no proof about where it came from and how it ended up stuck in this tree. Getting the little bird out from the base of the tree, the worker noticed that the creature got badly injured and seemed not to eat or drink anything for a few days. She was too weak to fly, but luckily she was still alive. In that case, the worker had to bring the owl home. He named her Rocky as he spotted her in the Rockefeller Center. Considering he himself had no idea how to keep an owl, he decided to find a place that rescues wildlife animals. That was why he called the Center. After Kalish got the full story about the bird, she met the man at a gas station. Then the man handed her a box with the owl inside. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Kalish took the box carefully.________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Rocky didn't look that terrible as she was in the box a week before._________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ [读后续写四步曲] 第一步　通读全文，理清脉络 1．读要素，弄懂故事大意 本文大意：主要讲述了Manhattan野生动物救助中心的创始人Ellen Kalish接到陌生电话，询问他们是否接受野生猫头鹰，Ellen驱车去加油站接过猫头鹰的故事。 2．读人物，理清人物关系 Ellen Kalish, a worker, Rocky 3．读时态，确定主体时态 一般过去时 4．读结构，了解叙述方式 第1段：曼哈顿野生动物中心的Ellen Kalish接到电话，要求救援藏在洛克菲勒中心圣诞树里的猫头鹰。 第2段：猫头鹰在树底部被发现，可能随树运往曼哈顿。它受伤严重，无法进食和饮水，但仍然活着。 学生用书第179页 第3段：工人将猫头鹰带回家，取名Rocky，因不知道如何照顾它，联系曼哈顿野生动物中心。Kalish得知情况后，在加油站接过了猫头鹰。 续写部分：第一段主要描写Kalish接过猫头鹰，精心照料，帮助它恢复健康；第二段则讲述Kalish训练Rocky适应新环境、放飞它回归大自然的过程。 由此可见，材料是按照时空变化来划分的。我们在构思续写时应从这个叙述方式去进行拓展。 5．读语言，把握语言特色 原文中的语言特色： (1)定语从句的使用 Ellen Kalish was happy to help, who runs the Manhattan Wildlife Center in New York. It was found inside the Christmas tree in the Rockefeller Center, where it is a yearly tradition to decorate trees. (2)被动语态的使用 It was found inside the Christmas tree in the Rockefeller Center, where it is a yearly tradition to decorate trees. Before the tree was put up to decorate, one of the workers caught sight of the creature. It was buried in the base of the tree. (3)非谓语动词的使用 Getting the little bird out from the base of the tree, the worker noticed that the creature got badly injured and seemed not to eat or drink anything for a few days. 第二步　依据首句，构思框架 1．读懂两段首句 第一段首句译文：Kalish小心地接过盒子。 第二段首句译文：Rocky看起来不像一周前在盒子里那么糟糕了。 第一段框架：Kalish接过猫头鹰，精心照料，帮助它恢复健康的过程。 第二段框架：Kalish训练Rocky适应新环境、放飞它回归大自然的过程。 2．写好两个衔接句 第一段首句后的衔接句：She opened the box gently. 第二段首句后的衔接句：On Friday, Kalish moved Rocky to an outdoor practice cage so she could get used to new circumstance and Kalish could monitor her flight. 第三步　增加细节，展开续写 基于第一段的框架，我们可以补充以下细节： Kalish的动作描写(她轻轻地打开盒子)→猫头鹰的动作描写(站在一个纸板箱里，直视着她)→Kalish的心理描写(我想，这真是个奇迹！这只鸟是怎么在这次旅行中幸存下来的？)→描述性语言(她给这只猫头鹰取名为Rockefeller，或者“Rocky”)→Kalish的语言描写(说她非常饿)→Kalish的动作描写(立即给她水和食物)→描述性语言(一名兽医对她进行了检查，她没有骨折或内部损伤)→Rocky的动作描写(到周四，开始给自己洗澡)→Kalish的语言描写(猫头鹰洗澡会导致“到处都是水”) 基于第二段的框架，我们可以补充以下细节： Kalish的动作描写(周五，将Rocky转移到一个户外的练习笼中，以便她适应新环境，Kalish也可以监控她的飞行情况)→Rocky的动作描写(到周二黄昏时，她似乎已经准备好走了)→Kalish的动作描写(把Rocky带到附近森林的一片空地上，把她从笼子里抱出来，然后把她举向天空)→Rocky的动作描写(Rocky在Kalish的手上坐了一会儿，审视着周围的环境。然后，她飞走了，落在附近的一棵松树上) 第四步　检查优化，整洁誊写 Kalish took the box carefully. She opened the box gently. The owl was standing in a cardboard box, looking straight at her. “I thought, this is a miracle! How did this bird survive this trip？” She named the owl Rockefeller, or “Rocky”. “She was super hungry，” she says, estimating that she probably had not been able to eat or drink for at least a few days. She immediately gave her water and food—a few frozen mice—which she ate quickly. A veterinarian examined her, and X-rays showed that she had no broken bones or inner damage. By Thursday, Rocky started to bathe herself—a sign she was feeling good. An owl bath, Kalish says, leads to “water everywhere”． Rocky didn't look that terrible as she was in the box a week before. On Friday, Kalish moved Rocky to an outdoor practice cage so she could get used to new circumstance and Kalish could monitor her flight. By Tuesday at dusk, she seemed ready to go. Kalish brought Rocky to a clearing of nearby forest, removed her from her carrier and raised her toward the sky. Rocky sat on Kalish's hand for several moments, surveying her surroundings. Then, she flew off, settling in a nearby pine tree. 学生用书第180页 世界水日 Everyone needs water, and every drop is precious. On 22 March, World Water Day draws attention to the essential role of water in our lives. It also focuses on the difficulty many people have getting clean water. 每个人都需要水，每一滴水都很珍贵。3 月 22 日，世界水日提醒人们注意水在我们生活中的重要作用。它也关注许多人在获得清洁水方面的困难。 We all need water to stay alive, but about two billion people around the world live without clean water in their homes. That's around a quarter of the world's population. Many of them live in rural communities or in places where there are wars and conflicts. Meanwhile, climate change is making the little water they have access to less and less. 我们都需要水来维持生命，但全世界约有20亿人家里没有清洁水，这大约占世界人口的四分之一。他们中的许多人生活在农村社区或有战争和冲突的地方。与此同时，气候变化使他们能获得的少量水越来越少。 People may get sick from drinking dirty water. Thousands of children worldwide die every day from diarrhea caused by dirty water. In some countries, people walk many kilometers every day to get water, and sometimes the water isn't clean. If children spend most of their day walking for water, they can't go to school. 人们可能会因为喝脏水而生病。全世界每天都有成千上万的儿童因脏水引起的腹泻而死亡。在一些国家，人们每天要走很多公里去取水，有时水也不干净。如果孩子们每天大部分时间都花在取水的路上，他们就不能去上学了。 In 1992, the United Nations made a special day for water, and World Water Day has been celebrated on 22 March every year since 1993.On this day, many countries hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water. They try to find solutions to providing everyone in the world with clean water. 1992年，联合国为水设立了一个特别的日子，自1993年以来，每年3月22日都庆祝世界水日。在这一天，许多国家举办活动，教育人们了解脏水问题。他们试图找到为世界上每个人提供清洁水的解决方案。 Some charities organize fundraising events for World Water Day.Other groups organize events like “Walk for Water”， where people walk 4, 8 or 12 kilometers each day in March to see how it feels when they have to walk a long way to get their drinking water. People give them money to do these things, and all this money helps provide clean water to as many people as possible around the world. So，on this World Water Day, what will you do? 一些慈善机构为世界水日组织筹款活动。其他团体组织“为水而行”等活动，人们在三月份每天步行4、8或12公里，体验不得不走很远的路去获取饮用水的感受。人们给他们钱来做这些事情，所有这些钱都有助于为全世界尽可能多的人提供清洁水。那么，在这个世界水日，你会做什么呢？ 　听力录音 单元检测卷(六)　Unit 6　Earth first (时间：120分钟，满分：150分) (本栏目内容，在学生用书中以独立形式分册装订！) 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．What does the man suggest doing?

In a city where green spaces are not enough, and city wildlife is often pushed to the edges, Lattouf's love for hummingbirds began in 2011, just a year after recovering from a deadly illness, when she began caring for a hummingbird that had an eye injured by another bird. She named the bird Gucci after the brand (品牌) of the eyeglasses case where she kept it and soon they became the best of friends. The tiny hummingbird rested on Lattouf's computer screen while she worked. “It was a good medicine for my spirit，” Lattouf said of Gucci, adding, “It gave me a new life.” Gucci was the first, but many hummingbirds came to be cared for by Lattouf. For years Lattouf's home had been a bird shelter, but she was concerned about whether she would be able to meet the requirements of hummingbirds. However, since then, Lattouf has worked to make the public realize the importance of hummingbirds and has saved and freed hundreds of them. Hummingbirds are an important part of the American food web. They help control the population of insects. Although they're small in size, their diet includes the mosquitoes, spiders and fruit flies. Hummingbirds also pollinate (授粉) a wide variety of flowering plants from Alaska to the southernmost point of South America, which is especially important for native plant species. In fact, some plants depend almost completely on hummingbirds for pollination. Through her effort, Lattouf has shown that even in the heart of a big city, it is possible to coexist (共存) with and protect the natural world. In a city that can sometimes feel disconnected from nature, Lattouf's apartment is a wonder that can be found when we make space for the wild in our everyday lives. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了73岁的Catia Lattouf是一位热心的鸟类爱好者，她把自己的公寓变成了蜂鸟的家，以及她这么做的起因以及她致力于保护蜂鸟。 24．Where did the bird's name come from?

They can be cut into pieces, mixed with egg whites, cornflour and salt, and then put into boiling water for a few minutes. There is only one problem with monkfish: they are ugly. With their eyes sticking out and wide mouths full of sharp teeth, they are frightening. In the Netherlands, fishermen who caught them used to throw them back. They are still usually sold without their heads, but the days of throwing them away are long gone. Japanese diners love the fatty liver; while Italians may still call them toad tails, that doesn't stop them from eating the fish. People have been encouraged to eat more monkfish, as well as other unattractive creatures — in order to ensure the biodiversity of the ocean environment. There are more examples for sea animals going from “purposely avoided” to “willingly consumed”. In America, lobsters used to be fed to prisoners — a result of their abundance but also, no doubt, because they are difficult to eat and look frightening. Not until the late 19th century did they become fantastic dish. Today they are so desirable that Maine, where most American lobsters are caught, has the images of these creatures printed on many of its vehicles. Sometimes fashion goes the other way. Turtles were plentiful in early America, but in the 19th century they became fashionable: few foods were more recommended than turtle soup. Americans ate some species of turtle nearly to extinction. Yet today turtle-eating is more closely associated with remote and uncultured areas. Among cooking choices, people prefer the rare and the beautiful one than the unattractive one. But such narrow-minded food choices can have bad results: some species may not survive human preference for them. Better to stare into monkfish's eyes than to contribute to the permanent loss of a species. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章以安康鱼为例，说明海洋动物从“故意避免”变成“自愿食用”，这一做法是为了保护生物多样性。 28．How were monkfish treated in the Netherlands? A．They were abandoned by local fishermen. B．They were popular due to their fatty livers. C．They were called toad tails from time to time. D．They were considered a danger to the ecosystem. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“In the Netherlands, fishermen who caught them used to throw them back.”可知，在荷兰，安康鱼被当地渔民遗弃。故选A项。 29．Why are lobsters mentioned in Paragraph 3? A．To stress its abundance in America. B．To make a comparison with monkfish. C．To prove prisoners used to be fed on seafood. D．To show people's food habits keep changing. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“There are more examples... many of its vehicles.”可推知，第三段提到龙虾是为了显示人们的饮食习惯在不断变化。故选D项。 30．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．Turtle-eating has been out of date now. B．Turtles have completely disappeared in America. C．Turtles were purposely avoided among food choices. D．Turtle-eating was against fashion in the 19th century. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“Yet today turtle-eating is more closely associated with remote and uncultured areas.”可知，吃乌龟现在已经过时了。故选A项。 31．What is the main purpose of this text?

D．To call for the protection of biodiversity. 答案：D 解析：写作目的题。根据第二段“People have been encouraged... of the ocean environment.”并结合文章以安康鱼为例，说明海洋动物从“故意避免”变成“自愿食用”，这一做法是为了保护生物多样性可推知，这篇文章的主要目的是呼吁保护生物多样性。故选D项。 D (2024·江西九江期末) The scientists who re-engineered the plastic-eating enzyme (酶) PETase have now created a new enzyme called “cocktail”， which can digest plastic up to six times faster. PETase breaks down PET back into its building blocks, creating an opportunity to recycle plastic and reduce plastic pollution. PET is the most common thermoplastic (热塑性塑料) used to make single use drinks bottles, which takes hundreds of years to break down in the environment, but PETase can shorten this time to days. The initial discovery set up the prospect of a revolution in plastic recycling, creating a potential low-energy solution to tackle plastic waste. Now, the same trans Atlantic team have combined PETase and its “partner”， a second enzyme called MHETase, to generate much bigger improvements: simply mixing PETase with MHETase doubled the speed of PET breakdown, and engineering a connection between the two enzymes to create a “super-enzyme” increased this activity by a further three times. The team was co-led by the scientists who engineered PETase, Professor John McGeehan and Dr Gregg Beckham. Professor McGeehan said: “Gregg and I were chatting about how PETase attacks the surface of the plastics and MHETase chops things up further, so it seemed natural to see if we could use them together. Our first experiments showed that they did work better together, so we decided to physically link them. It took a great deal of work, but it was worth the effort—we were delighted to see that our new enzyme is up to three times faster than the separate enzymes.” The original PETase enzyme discovery indicated the first hope that a solution to the global plastic pollution problem might be within grasp, though PETase alone is not yet fast enough to handle the tons of PET bottles. Combining it with a second enzyme and finding they work even faster together means another leap forward has been taken towards finding a solution to plastic waste. PETase and the new combined MHETase-PETase both work by digesting PET plastic. This allows for plastics to be made and reused endlessly, reducing our reliance on fossil (化石) resources. 语篇解读　本文是一篇科普说明文。文章介绍了一种用于加速塑料制品降解的新的酶——“cocktail”的原理、研发过程和产生的效应。 32．What can we learn about “cocktail” from the text? A．It doubles the breakdown of plastics. B．It takes hundreds of years to break down. C．It deals with the plastic waste three times faster. D．It contributes to breaking down plastic quickly. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“The scientists who re-engineered... six times faster.”可知，名为“cocktail”的新酶可以使塑料的降解快六倍。故选D项。 33．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．A new study of PET. B．The breakdown of PET. C．The functions of PETase. D．The discovery of PETase. 答案：C 解析：段落大意题。根据第二段“PET is the most common... this time to days.”可知，第二段主要介绍了科学家研究的第一种酶PETase的作用：即快速降解PET。故选C项。 34．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Combining PETase and MHETase. B．Co-leading the trans Atlantic team. C．Attacking the surface of the plastics. D．Conducting experiments. 答案：A 解析：代词指代题。根据第四段“Our first experiments showed... physically link them.”可知，科学家们想结合PETase和MHETase，使其产生更好的效果，画线词it所在句子的意思是“这需要大量的工作，但值得付出努力”，故it指的是PETase和MHETase的结合工作，和选项A意思一致。故选A项。 35．What can we infer from the text? A．Plastic eating enzyme “cocktail” promises new hope for plastic waste. B．MHETase-PETase makes the world free from plastic pollution. C.New enzyme is speeding up our reliance on fossil resources. D．PET pollution is no longer a difficult problem to deal with. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“The original PETase ... to plastic waste.”可知，吃塑料的酶“cocktail”给塑料垃圾带来了新的希望。故选A项。 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。 (2024·贵州铜仁期末) The rainforest of the Amazon region of Brazil in South America covers five percent of the world's land.__36__The area is also the home of 220，000 people from about 180 tribes (部落) who live deep in the forest.

Now I would like to share my thoughts with you. Nowadays wildlife protection is in a horrible situation. Some wildlife is trapped in horrible conditions; some is even losing its living sites or shelters; some is even on the edge of extinction with the numbers on a rapid descent. Faced with so frightening condition, we shouldn't turn our back on it. Instead, it's our duty to make an attempt to rescue the endangered animals and to reduce the damage to them. After all, to protect the wildlife from suffering is to protect the nature and ecology as well as human beings. Yours， Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) (2024·江西上饶期末) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Freddie Forbes stared in awe (敬畏) at the platform in the packed school hall. The headmaster marched onto the stage, followed by the captains of the school soccer team and rugby side. Freddie watched enviously (羡慕地) as each was presented with an honors jacket for their contribution to the school's sporting success over the previous year. When the next presentation of honors jacket would come around, Freddie knew there was little hope that he would be the receiver of one of these treasured items of clothing. “I wish you all a happy summer holiday，” the headmaster announced. “Although most of you will be going away to sunnier parts, there are others who will be staying near their home. The local council has asked the school to undertake a project over the next six weeks to help clear up litter around the area and separate it for recycling. If anyone is interested, come to my office and you will be supplied with a litter picker, bags and heavy-duty gloves.” Freddie knew he would be at a loose end over the holiday, so he went to the office along with four other boys to pick up the equipment needed to gather up the rubbish which littered the streets around the school. When he arrived home, his mother looked at him curiously as he placed the equipment on the kitchen table. “What is this all about？” she asked with a smile on her face. “Mum, I'm an average pupil and I'm not very good at sports，” he replied. “This waste recycling is one way I can contribute to the good name of the school.” “Just as long as you don't get fed up and stop half way through，” said Mum. “I have made up my mind to stick this out through thick and thin，” Freddie said confidently. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Over the next few weeks, the other boys dropped out of the project.__________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Hearing his name called by the headmaster, Freddie nervously made his way to the platform.________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 参考范文： Over the next few weeks, the other boys dropped out of the project. But Freddie kept on. Some of his friends laughed at him, thinking it was a waste of time. Nevertheless, Freddie decided to stick it out. The first day of the new school year soon arrived and once again the school hall was packed with pupils. When the headmaster appeared, he was carrying a certificate which bore the logo of the local council. “Welcome back，” he said, “The council has presented this certificate to the school in recognition of the work by one of our pupils. Freddie Forbes, please come to the platform.” Hearing his name called by the headmaster, Freddie nervously made his way to the platform. The headmaster smiled at Freddie. “This certificate you have worked so hard to achieve will hang in the school office, but you will get a personal award too.” A teacher came onto the stage, bringing one of the honors jackets that Freddie had admired so much. The headmaster asked Freddie to remove his own jacket and helped him into the blazer that he thought he would never wear. As the pupils who had dropped out looked on enviously, Freddie knew that collecting waste was certainly not a waste of time. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
