Quite a lot! Trees can keep a record (记录) of Earth’s climate for a very long time. In fact trees can live for hundreds-and sometimes even thousands-of years! If you see a stump (树桩), you may find that the top of the stump has many rings. These rings can tell us how old the tree is, and what the weather was like during each year of the tree’s life. In most places, daily weather records have only been kept for the past 100 to 150 years. So, scientists can use trees to learn about the climate hundreds to thousands of years ago. 31.

Well, a famous writer from the 20th and 21st centuries named Michael Crichton once said, “If you don’t know history, you don’t know anything. You are like a leaf that doesn’t know it is part of a tree.” But not everyone agrees. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, from the 19th century, said, “The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing.” History tells us about where we come from, what we did right, and where we messed up (搞砸). It gives us warnings (警示) for the future and helps us move forward with knowledge (知识). Even if we repeat (重复) mistakes, at least we can do it with our eyes open. As we move into the future together, it’s important to know not only our own history but also the history of our neighbors around the world. What better way to understand a country than through the eyes of its people? As editors and writers, we asked friends from different countries to recommend (推荐) the best books about their nation’s history. We also looked into our own country’s past, remembering stories that meant something to us when we were growing up. This will give us different views on world history. You can take a quick trip through the history of England, from its earliest people to the 21st century. Learn about the unstable history of the US and Canada. Then, fly across the globe to hear stories from Kenya, South Africa, India, Australia, and the Philippines. The histories you’ll read about will help you explore (探索) different parts of the world and different times in history. You’ll hear the stories of different nations told by the people who know them best. 38. Who agrees that history is unimportant, Crichton or Hegel? A. Hegel B. Crichton C. Both D. Neither (都不) 39. What idea does Paragraph 2 show? A. History tells little about where humans first came from. B. Our mistakes can’t be written about in history books. C. We won’t make mistakes after learning from history. D. History helps us to move forward with a clear mind. 40. What did the editors and writers ask some foreign friends to do? A. Collect ideas from different cultures. B. Explore historical places of interest. C. Recommend some history books. D. Study foreigners’ views on China. 41. What will the next pages be about? A. English history. B. Historical trips around the world. C. The development of human beings. D. Histories of some countries. 【答案】38. A 39. D 40. C 41. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了历史的重要性。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, from the 19th century, said, ‘The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing.’”可知Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel说“我们从历史中学到的唯一东西就是我们什么也没学到”，所以是Hegel认为历史不重要。故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It gives us warnings (警示) for the future and helps us move forward with knowledge”可知历史给我们未来的警告，帮助我们用知识前进。故选D。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As editors and writers, we asked friends from different countries to recommend (推荐) the best books about their nation’s history.”可知作为编辑和作家，我们邀请来自不同国家的朋友推荐关于他们国家历史的最佳书籍。故选C。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The histories you’ll read about will help you explore (探索) different parts of the world and different times in history. You’ll hear the stories of different nations told by the people who know them best.”可知你将阅读的历史将帮助你探索世界的不同地区和历史的不同时期，你会听到最了解不同国家的人讲述的不同国家的故事，故接下来可能是关于一些国家的历史。故选D。 D Microplastics (微塑料) are very small. But they bring big problems. A new study said that by 2040, microplastic pollution (污染) could be twice as bad as it is now. Scientists learned this by looking at 20 years of studies on microplastics. Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic. They come from many places. For example, About 60 percent of material made into clothing is plastic Every time they are washed, they shed (掉落) microplastics. When water bottles and other big plastic items are left outside, they break down slowly into microplastics. According to National Geographic, microplastics are usually less than five millimeters (毫米) in size. This small size lets them go everywhere, even in water and air. They don’t break down (分解) easily and can stay in the environment (环境) for hundreds of years. This can be bad for our health. In August, The Conversation reported that scientists found microplastics in people’s brains for the first time. They may hurt brain cells (脑细胞) and change how the brain works.

Then, on the third morning when she opened her eyes and looked out of the window, she had a big surprise. She called to Martha, “Martha! Come and look at the moor!” There was a blue sky with no wind or rain. “Yes,” said Martha with a smile. “The spring’s coming.” After breakfast, Martha went to visit her mother for the day. Mary felt lonely in the house without her, so she went outside into the bright sunshine. She ran round and round the fountain ten times, and soon she started to feel better. Ben Weatherstaff was in the vegetable garden. He didn’t look cross that day so she went to speak to him. “The spring’s coming,” he said to her. “Can you see those green points in the earth?” Mary looked. “What are they?” she asked. “They’re spring flowers—crocuses, snowdrops and daffodils.” Then the robin appeared and sat on the ground near them. “Is spring coming in the secret garden, too?” Mary asked Ben. “Or are all the flowers dead?” “Ask the robin” said Ben Weatherstaff. “He’s the only one who knows.” And he went back to work. The robin was hopping around on the ground. Mary was watching him when she saw something in the earth. She picked it up. It was an old key. “The key to the secret garden!” she whispered excitedly. Mary looked at the key for a long time. Then she put it in her pocket and walked back to her room. 56. How was the weather on the third morning? ________________________________________ 57.

Trees can keep a record (记录) of Earth’s climate for a very long time. In fact, trees can live for hundreds-and sometimes even thousands-of years! If you see a stump (树桩), you may find that the top of the stump has many rings. These rings can tell us how old the tree is, and what the weather was like during each year of the tree’s life. In most places, daily weather records have only been kept for the past 100 to 150 years. So, scientists can use trees to learn about the climate hundreds to thousands of years ago. 31.

They told the teacher that they had helped an old woman with her car on the way to school, and they spent the whole morning pushing her car back. The teacher listened, and to the students’ surprise, he said that they could do the test in three days’ time. On the day of the test, the students went to their teacher’s office. The teacher put four students in four different rooms to take the test. The students didn’t mind. They were just so happy because they had three extra days to study and prepare for the test. In fact, to get a better grade, they did go over the lessons carefully. However, as they read the paper, the students found there were only two questions on the paper: 1) Your Name: ________ 2) Which tire was flat (瘪了的)?________ A. Front Right B. Front Left C.

Well, a famous writer from the 20th and 21st centuries named Michael Crichton once said, “If you don’t know history, you don’t know anything. You are like a leaf that doesn’t know it is part of a tree.” But not everyone agrees. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, from the 19th century, said, “The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing.” History tells us about where we come from, what we did right, and where we messed up (搞砸). It gives us warnings (警示) for the future and helps us move forward with knowledge (知识). Even if we repeat (重复) mistakes, at least we can do it with our eyes open. As we move into the future together, it’s important to know not only our own history but also the history of our neighbors around the world. What better way to understand a country than through the eyes of its people? As editors and writers, we asked friends from different countries to recommend (推荐) the best books about their nation’s history. We also looked into our own country’s past, remembering stories that meant something to us when we were growing up. This will give us different views on world history. You can take a quick trip through the history of England, from its earliest people to the 21st century. Learn about the unstable history of the US and Canada. Then, fly across the globe to hear stories from Kenya, South Africa, India, Australia, and the Philippines. The histories you’ll read about will help you explore (探索) different parts of the world and different times in history. You’ll hear the stories of different nations told by the people who know them best. 38. Who agrees that history is unimportant, Crichton or Hegel? A. Hegel B. Crichton C. Both D. Neither (都不) 39. What idea does Paragraph 2 show? A. History tells little about where humans first came from. B. Our mistakes can’t be written about in history books. C. We won’t make mistakes after learning from history. D. History helps us to move forward with a clear mind. 40. What did the editors and writers ask some foreign friends to do? A. Collect ideas from different cultures. B. Explore historical places of interest. C. Recommend some history books. D. Study foreigners’ views on China. 41. What will the next pages be about? A. English history. B. Historical trips around the world. C. The development of human beings. D. Histories of some countries. D Microplastics (微塑料) are very small. But they bring big problems. A new study said that by 2040, microplastic pollution (污染) could be twice as bad as it is now. Scientists learned this by looking at 20 years of studies on microplastics. Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic. They come from many places. For example, About 60 percent of material made into clothing is plastic Every time they are washed, they shed (掉落) microplastics. When water bottles and other big plastic items are left outside, they break down slowly into microplastics. According to National Geographic, microplastics are usually less than five millimeters (毫米) in size. This small size lets them go everywhere, even in water and air. They don’t break down (分解) easily and can stay in the environment (环境) for hundreds of years. This can be bad for our health. In August, The Conversation reported that scientists found microplastics in people’s brains for the first time. They may hurt brain cells (脑细胞) and change how the brain works. Wild animals are also at risk from microplastic pollution. Each year, up to three million tons of microplastics end up in the sea. Since they are too small to be seen, fish may eat them by mistake and become very sick. To deal with the problem, scientists think the best way right now is to make and use less plastic. 42. What do we know about microplastics? A. They showed up 20 years ago. B. They are causing more pollution. C. They mainly come from making clothes. D. They are usually about-ID millimeters. 43. Why are microplastics a problem for the environment? A. Because they take a long time to break down. B. Because they mainly end up in water. C. Because they are too small to be reused. D. Because they can move fast in the air. 44. What are Paragraphs 4-5 mainly about? A. Microplastic pollution is hard to deal with. B. Microplastics can cause different kinds of pollution. C. Microplastics can hurt certain kinds of fish. D. Microplastics can bring health problems to humans and animals. 45. What do scientists think is the best way to deal with microplastic pollution? A. Taking plastic out of the sea. B. Making and using less plastic. C. Governments making laws about it. D. Helping microplastics break down. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共60分） 五、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 46.

Come and look at the moor!” There was a blue sky with no wind or rain. “Yes,” said Martha with a smile. “The spring’s coming.” After breakfast, Martha went to visit her mother for the day. Mary felt lonely in the house without her, so she went outside into the bright sunshine. She ran round and round the fountain ten times, and soon she started to feel better. Ben Weatherstaff was in the vegetable garden. He didn’t look cross that day so she went to speak to him. “The spring’s coming,” he said to her. “Can you see those green points in the earth?” Mary looked. “What are they?” she asked. “They’re spring flowers—crocuses, snowdrops and daffodils.” Then the robin appeared and sat on the ground near them. “Is spring coming in the secret garden, too?” Mary asked Ben. “Or are all the flowers dead?” “Ask the robin,” said Ben Weatherstaff. “He’s the only one who knows.” And he went back to work. The robin was hopping around on the ground. Mary was watching him when she saw something in the earth. She picked it up. It was an old key. “The key to the secret garden!” she whispered excitedly.
