Evidence shows that teaching existed in Oxford as early as 1096, and it has been ranked as the top university in the UK by The Times for many times. The Tutorial (导师的) System In the University of Oxford, teaching is conducted primarily through the tutorial system. Tutorials are beneficial to students’ skills of critical analysis, but the greatest advantage of the tutorial system is the individual guidance that students receive. The contrast between tutorials and large lectures common in the American universities is obvious. In the typical American university, students are taught by the same specialists, in the same manner, and held to the same standards. Societies and Clubs There are rich after-school activities at Oxford. Students may join a variety of clubs and societies according to their own interests. The Oxford University Scientific Society aims to bring together undergraduates to discuss scientific matters. The Oxford Union Society has gained a worldwide reputation for its debate. The Newman Society has served as a model for religious society throughout the English-speaking world. In addition, there are a great many clubs, including Oxford University Cricket Club, Oxford University Chess Club, and so on. Dates of Term Oxford’s year is divided into three terms and three vacations. The dates for Full Term 2023-24 are set out below: Year Term From To 2023-24 Michaelmas 2023 Sunday 8 October Saturday 2 December Hilary 2024 Sunday 14 January Saturday 9 March Trinity 2024 Sunday 21 April Saturday 15 June 1. What is the biggest advantage of the tutorial system? A. It promotes students’ critical analysis. B. It provides personalized teaching. C. It offers large lectures to students. D. It uses the same manner and standards. 2. Which organization will you join if you want to be a great debater? A. The Oxford University Scientific Society. B. The Oxford Union Society. C. The Newman Society. D. Oxford University Cricket Club. 3. How long does the teaching period last within Full Term 2023-24? A. 8 weeks. B. 16weeks. C. 24weeks. D. 32 weeks. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了牛津大学的地位及其特点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Tutorial (导师的) System部分中“Tutorials are beneficial to students’ skills of critical analysis, but the greatest advantage of the tutorial system is the individual guidance that students receive. (导师制有利于培养学生的批判性分析能力，但导师制最大的优点是学生得到的个别指导。)”可知，导师制最大的优点是它提供个性化的教学。故选B项。 2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Societies and Clubs部分中“The Oxford Union Society has gained a worldwide reputation for its debate. (牛津联盟协会因其辩论而享誉全球。)”可知，如果你想成为一名优秀的辩手，你会加入牛津联盟协会。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Dates of Term部分表格中“Michaelmas 2023 from Sunday 8 October to Saturday 2 December; Hilary 2024 from Sunday 14 January to Saturday 9 March; Trinity 2024 from Sunday 21 April to Saturday 15 June (2023年米迦勒节从10月8日星期日至12月2日星期六；希拉里2024从1月14日星期日至3月9日星期六；三一2024从4月21日星期日到6月15日星期六)”可知，2023-24学年的教学周期是24周。故选C项。 B Compared with physicists such as Marie Curie or Richard Feynman, Wu Chien-shiung is not a household name in China but she was one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century, one that “completely” changed human’s view of the universe. Wu’s father, Wu Zhongyi, founded the first school for girls in Taicang, aiming to break the old idea that it was women’s virtue to have no talents, which had the greatest influence on Wu Chien-shiung’s life. Working in the scientific world dominated (支配) by men, she never gave up or lowered her standards even if unequally treated. After graduating from the former National Central University in Nanjing in 1934, Wu registered at the University of California, Berkeley at the age of 24 to continue her study in physics. During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist, Wu’s pioneering achievements won her nicknames such as “Chinese Madame Curie”, “queen of nuclear research” and “first lady of physics”. She was the first woman to be president of American Physical Society, the first female winner of the Comstock Prize in physics given by the US National Academy of Sciences, the first person to receive the Wolf Prize in physics, the first honorary doctorate awarded by Princeton University to a woman, and the first female professor of physics in the history of Columbia University. To get accurate results from experiments, she worked very hard day and night at a laboratory and gained a reputation (名声) for accuracy. There was a saying among physicists: If the experiment was done by Wu, it must be correct. She was always very careful in experiments, spending a great deal of time calibrating (校准) instruments. She didn’t start collecting data until she fully understood the instruments. Her experiments overturned many previous experimental results and theories, said Samuel Chao Chung Ting, American physicist and Nobel Prize winner. On Feb 16, 1997, Wu died in the US. According to her will, she was buried in her hometown Taicang. She was a distinguished world citizen, and was forever a Chinese. 4. What influenced Wu Chien-shiung when she was young? A. Her life in America. B. Her love for physics. C. Her family background. D. Marie Curie’s achievements. 5. What does the author intend to show in paragraph 3? A. Awards are usually gained through great efforts. B. Wu Chien-shiung was “a pioneer” in many ways. C. No scientists were better than Wu Chien-shiung. D. We cannot stress the importance of physics enough. 6. Which of the following can best describe Wu Chien-shiung? A. Caring and responsible. B. Courageous and creative. C. Stubborn and sensitive. D. Cautious and hardworking. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. An influential woman nuclear physicist. B. An important contribution to physics. C. The influence of modern education. D. Nuclear researches in scientific world. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了最有影响力的人之一：20世纪的女性核物理学家吴健雄的生平事迹。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Wu’s father, Wu Zhongyi, founded the first school for girls in Taicang, aiming to break the old idea that it was women’s virtue to have no talents, which had the greatest influence on Wu Chien-shiung’s life.(吴健雄的父亲吴忠义在太仓创办了第一所女子学校，旨在打破“女子无才为德”的旧观念，这对吴建雄的一生影响最大)”可知，吴健雄的家庭背景对她有深远的影响。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist, Wu’s pioneering achievements won her nicknames such as “Chinese Madame Curie”, “queen of nuclear research” and “first lady of physics”. She was the first woman to be president of American Physical Society, the first female winner of the Comstock Prize in physics given by the US National Academy of Sciences, the first person to receive the Wolf Prize in physics, the first honorary doctorate awarded by Princeton University to a woman, and the first female professor of physics in the history of Columbia University.(在她44年的核物理学家生涯中，吴的开创性成就为她赢得了“中国居里夫人”、“核研究女王”和“物理学第一夫人”等称号。她是第一位担任美国物理学会会长的女性，第一位获得美国国家科学院颁发的科姆斯托克物理学奖的女性，第一位获得沃尔夫物理学奖的人，第一位获得普林斯顿大学授予女性荣誉博士学位的人，也是哥伦比亚大学历史上第一位女物理学教授)”可知，作者通过本段旨在说明吴健雄在许多方面都是“先锋”。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“To get accurate results from experiments, she worked very hard day and night at a laboratory and gained a reputation (名声) for accuracy.(为了得到准确的实验结果，她在实验室里夜以继日地努力工作，并以准确著称)”可知，吴健雄是一个勤奋的人；再根据“She was always very careful in experiments, spending a great deal of time calibrating (校准) instruments.

It first came into being in 1970, followed in 1972 by World Environment Day. It has been celebrated ever since, slowly but surely picking up steam. Interestingly, it remained a grassroots affair for 20 years before spreading out to 140 countries in 1990. Now, it is celebrated around the world. Humans still face many challenges, such as climate change and plastic pollution. But we can all make a difference. When Claire was in the seventh grade, she learned about plans to expand and modernize her middle school. As a follower of Earth Day, she wanted to help. Claire asked the school board to add solar panels to the project because, she explained, clean energy would contribute to a truly modern school, and help her school pursue sustainable development. The board liked the idea but said it could contribute just $25,000, one-fifth of the cost. So Clarie turned to the community, looking for a solution. Her friends and neighbors shared her enthusiasm. Soon Claire organized a group of kids and adults, who set to work raising the rest. They wrote grant (拨款) requests, put on a talent show and asked for donations, even going door-to-door for them at Halloween. And they appealed to charitable foundations too. One donated more than half the cost! After two years of hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now supply one-fourth of the school’s electricity needs, saving the district thousands of dollars. “My favorite part about this project was that one person could start something small and then the project could grow and have a big impact on the community,” Claire said “There are always going to be barriers and hard parts. When there’s a challenge presented to you, use it as a learning moment and an opportunity to overcome it.” You can be a hero for the environment, so find out what can be recycled where you live. 8. What can we learn about Earth Day from the first paragraph? A. It was first celebrated on April 22, 1972. B. It gained instant popularity worldwide. C. It aims to raise environmental awareness. D. It promotes solutions to human challenges. 9. Why did Claire give advice to her school? A. To sell the solar panels. B. To make her school greener. C. To improve academic grades. D. To beautify the school campus. 10. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. The vital role of charities. B. Difficulties in raising money. C. Constant efforts on the project. D. Financial support from the public. 11. Which of the following can best describe Claire? A. Responsible and determined. B. Generous and creative. C. Energetic and reliable. D. Curious and adventurous. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲地球日追随者Claire让学校用上太阳能电池板，实现可持续发展的故事。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“Earth Day falls on April 22 each year to inform people about environmental problems and inspire them to act.(每年的4月22日是地球日，旨在向人们宣传环境问题并激励他们采取行动。)”可知，地球日旨在提高环境意识。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Claire asked the school board to add solar panels to the project because, she explained, clean energy would contribute to a truly modern school, and help her school pursue sustainable development.(Claire要求学校董事会在该项目中增加太阳能电池板，因为她解释说，清洁能源将有助于建设一所真正现代化的学校，并帮助她的学校实现可持续发展。)”可知，Claire这样做是为了让她的学校更环保。故选B项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第三段“Her friends and neighbors shared her enthusiasm. Soon Claire organized a group of kids and adults, who set to work raising the rest. They wrote grant (拨款) requests, put on a talent show and asked for donations, even going door-to-door for them at Halloween. And they appealed to charitable foundations too. One donated more than half the cost!(她的朋友和邻居都和她一样热情。很快，Claire 组织了一群孩子和成年人，他们开始着手抚养剩下的孩子。他们写拨款申请，举办才艺表演，要求捐款，甚至在万圣节挨家挨户为他们捐款。他们也呼吁慈善基金会。其中一个捐赠了超过一半的费用！)”以及上文可知，这段主要讲Claire 在这项目上不断努力。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“‘My favorite part about this project was that one person could start something small and then the project could grow and have a big impact on the community,’ Claire said ‘There are always going to be barriers and hard parts. When there’s a challenge presented to you, use it as a learning moment and an opportunity to overcome it.’(Claire说：‘这个项目我最喜欢的部分是，一个人可以开始一些小事情，然后这个项目可以发展壮大，并对社区产生重大影响。总会有障碍和困难。当你面临挑战时，把它当作一个学习的时刻和克服它的机会。’)”以及前文Claire所做的事可知，Claire是一个有责任心和决心的人。故选A项。 D Intended to help draw down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, Tree-planting has become a synonym (同义词) for climate action. In our constant focus on trees, we’ve developed a fixed understanding: Trees absorb carbon dioxide, end of story. The reality is that trees don’t grow well alone. They exist within complex communities, helped along by each other as well as the animals they coexist with. The woodland isn’t nature’s only carbon sink: grasslands and oceans also help reduce the carbon level and rely on a healthy amount of biodiversity. That’s what the paper, published in Nature, wants to get across. Co-author Oswald J. Schmitz, a professor of ecology at Yale University, said trees might not be able to do their carbon-uptake job efficiently without the right animals in their ecosystem. That’s because animals animate the carbon cycle through their behavior and roles in the ecosystem. He added that the very presence of wild animals could cause feedback effects that change the ecosystem’s capacity to absorb, release, or transport carbon. In Serengeti, for instance, the sharp decline in wildebeest (角马) populations during the mid-20th century allowed grass to grow wildly, eventually promoting wildfires that consumed 80 percent of the ecosystem annually and led to a net release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. When disease management and bans on illegal hunting helped animal populations recover, a greater share of the carbon stored in plants was consumed by wildebeest and released as waste, keeping it in the system and restoring the grassland as a carbon sink. Researchers rarely consider wildlife conservation as a strategy to increase an ecosystem’s carbon storage capacity, said Schmitz. “They think that animals either aren’t important enough or that you can’t take up carbon and conserve animals at the same time,” he said. “Our message is that you can and should. It can be a win-win for both biodiversity conservation and carbon uptake.” We need a full picture — with both trees and animals — to explore nature’s full potential. 12. What does the first paragraph tell us? A. Actions are needed to reduce carbon dioxide. B. Trees are a quick solution to the climate crisis. C. Grasslands help maintain biodiversity. D. People are not thinking through trees properly. 13. What does the underlined word “animate” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Disturb. B. Restart. C. Activate. D. Break. 14. What does the author want to say by mentioning wildebeest? A. The conservation of animals is still a serious issue. B. Animals can swing the ecosystem’s capacity to store carbon. C. Human impacts bring about the reduction in wildlife populations. D. The increase in animal species causes a decrease in carbon uptake. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Animals Adjust Themselves to Climate Change B. Trees May Fail to Fulfil Their Duties without Animals C. Woodland Isn’t the Only Carbon Sink on the Earth D. The Serengeti Ecosystem Needs Urgent Improvement 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了树木在生态系统中与动物的相互作用，没有动物，树木可能无法履行它们的职责。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“In our constant focus on trees, we’ve developed a fixed understanding: Trees absorb carbon dioxide, end of story. The reality is that trees don’t grow well alone.(在我们对树木的持续关注中，我们已经形成了一种固定的理解：树木吸收二氧化碳，仅此而已。事实是，树木单独生长不好)”可推知，人们没有正确地考虑树木。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“Co-author Oswald J. Schmitz, a professor of ecology at Yale University, said trees might not be able to do their carbon-uptake job efficiently without the right animals in their ecosystem.(合著者Oswald J. Schmitz是耶鲁大学的生态学教授，他说，如果没有合适的动物在它们的生态系统中，树木可能无法有效地完成它们的碳吸收工作)”可知，生态系统中有合适的动物，树木才能有效地完成它们的碳吸收工作。由此推知，划线词所在句意为“这是因为动物通过它们在生态系统中的行为和角色来激活碳循环”，animate意思是“激活，激发”。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“He added that the very presence of wild animals could cause feedback effects that change the ecosystem’s capacity to absorb, release, or transport carbon.(他补充说，野生动物的存在可能会引起反馈效应，改变生态系统吸收、释放或运输碳的能力)”和第三段“In Serengeti, for instance, the sharp decline in wildebeest (角马) populations during the mid-20th century allowed grass to grow wildly, eventually promoting wildfires that consumed 80 percent of the ecosystem annually and led to a net release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. When disease management and bans on illegal hunting helped animal populations recover, a greater share of the carbon stored in plants was consumed by wildebeest and released as waste, keeping it in the system and restoring the grassland as a carbon sink.(例如，在Serengeti，角马的数量在20世纪中期急剧下降，使得草疯狂生长，最终引发了野火，每年消耗80%的生态系统，并导致二氧化碳净释放到大气中。当疾病管理和禁止非法狩猎帮助动物种群恢复时，储存在植物中的大部分碳被角马消耗并作为废物释放出来，使其留在系统中，并恢复草原作为碳汇的作用)”可推知，角马数量下降最终导致二氧化碳净释放到大气中，动物数量恢复时碳被留在生态系统中，故作者提到角马是举例说明第二段的观点，动物可以改变生态系统储存碳的能力。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。阅读全文，根据第二段中“Co-author Oswald J. Schmitz, a professor of ecology at Yale University, said trees might not be able to do their carbon-uptake job efficiently without the right animals in their ecosystem.(合著者Oswald J. Schmitz是耶鲁大学的生态学教授，他说，如果没有合适的动物在它们的生态系统中，树木可能无法有效地完成它们的碳吸收工作)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述树木在生态系统中与动物的相互作用，没有动物，树木可能无法履行它们的职责。故选B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。 How to deal with silent treatment?

In order to maintain their high living standards, they went shopping at a market where everything was of high cost and had a fixed price . After purchasing all they needed, they called a porter to carry everything and drop it off at their home. The porter whose clothes were torn was of an old age, and looked very unhealthy. They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods to their home. The old porter quoted just $20, a price well below the market price. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15. The porter was struggling to make money for every single meal so he needed anything he could earn. The couple was very happy thinking about how well they had bargained with the poor porter, paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their home and one hour passed, and two hours passed, but the porter still didn’t deliver their stuff. The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such person, but you never listen to me. I am sure instead of delivering the goods to our home, he must have disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.” They both left towards the market. On their way near the market, they saw another porter. They stopped him to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying their goods in his cart! The angry wife asked him, “Where is that old thief? This is our goods and he was supposed to deliver them. It seems you poor thieves are stealing our goods and going to sell them.” Paragraph 1: When the porter heard the angry wife asking, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Upon hearing this, the husband had tears in his eyes. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: When the porter heard the angry wife asking, he turned back. The porter replied, “Madam, please calm down. I’m not a thief. That poor old man was sick since last month. He couldn’t earn enough to even have a single meal of the day. Therefore, he fell down and handed me $15, saying, ‘I have taken an advance for this delivery, and you deliver the goods to the couple’s home.’ Madam, he was poor and hungry, but he was an honest man. I was just on the way to completing the old man’s last delivery to your home.” Paragraph 2: Upon hearing this, the husband had tears in his eyes, and the wife felt so ashamed that she had no courage to look her husband in the eyes. Suddenly she rushed to the market. Half an hour later, the wife came back with some food in her hand. She passed the food on to the porter, and said sorry to the porter, saying that she shouldn’t suspect them, and took them as thieves. At last, the porter took the goods to their house, and the rich couple changed their attitude to the man like the porter. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了一对富有的夫妇在新年派对前购物，并以低价雇佣了一位老搬运工运送货物。夫妇怀疑老搬运工偷走了货物，前往市场寻找，却发现另一位搬运工正带着他们的货物。妻子怀疑货物被偷。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“当搬运工听到愤怒的妻子问话，他转过身来。”可知，第一段可以描写搬运工对于老搬运工去向的解释。 ②由第二段句首内容“听了这话，丈夫热泪盈眶，妻子羞愧得不敢直视丈夫的眼睛。”可知，第二段可以描写夫妻二人的转变。 2.续写线索：愤怒质问—解释—羞愧—到家—道歉—改变 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回答：reply/ answer ②赚足够的钱：earn enough/ make enough money ③递给某人某物：hand sb. sth./ give sb. sth. 情绪类 ①向某人道歉：say sorry to sb./ apologize to sb. ②冷静：calm down/ keep calm 【点睛】【高分句型1】Therefore, he fell down and handed me $15, saying, ‘I have taken an advance for this delivery, and you deliver the goods to the couple’s home.’( 运用了现在分词saying作状语) 【高分句型2】She passed the food on to the porter, and said sorry to the porter, saying that she shouldn’t suspect them, and took them as thieves.

Evidence shows that teaching existed in Oxford as early as 1096, and it has been ranked as the top university in the UK by The Times for many times. The Tutorial (导师的) System In the University of Oxford, teaching is conducted primarily through the tutorial system. Tutorials are beneficial to students’ skills of critical analysis, but the greatest advantage of the tutorial system is the individual guidance that students receive. The contrast between tutorials and large lectures common in the American universities is obvious. In the typical American university, students are taught by the same specialists, in the same manner, and held to the same standards. Societies and Clubs There are rich after-school activities at Oxford. Students may join a variety of clubs and societies according to their own interests. The Oxford University Scientific Society aims to bring together undergraduates to discuss scientific matters. The Oxford Union Society has gained a worldwide reputation for its debate. The Newman Society has served as a model for religious society throughout the English-speaking world. In addition, there are a great many clubs, including Oxford University Cricket Club, Oxford University Chess Club, and so on. Dates of Term Oxford’s year is divided into three terms and three vacations. The dates for Full Term 2023-24 are set out below: Year Term From To 2023-24 Michaelmas 2023 Sunday 8 October Saturday 2 December Hilary 2024 Sunday 14 January Saturday 9 March Trinity 2024 Sunday 21 April Saturday 15 June 1. What is the biggest advantage of the tutorial system? A. It promotes students’ critical analysis. B. It provides personalized teaching. C. It offers large lectures to students. D. It uses the same manner and standards. 2. Which organization will you join if you want to be a great debater? A. The Oxford University Scientific Society. B. The Oxford Union Society. C. The Newman Society. D. Oxford University Cricket Club. 3. How long does the teaching period last within Full Term 2023-24? A. 8 weeks. B. 16weeks. C. 24weeks. D. 32 weeks. B Compared with physicists such as Marie Curie or Richard Feynman, Wu Chien-shiung is not a household name in China but she was one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century, one that “completely” changed human’s view of the universe. Wu’s father, Wu Zhongyi, founded the first school for girls in Taicang, aiming to break the old idea that it was women’s virtue to have no talents, which had the greatest influence on Wu Chien-shiung’s life. Working in the scientific world dominated (支配) by men, she never gave up or lowered her standards even if unequally treated. After graduating from the former National Central University in Nanjing in 1934, Wu registered at the University of California, Berkeley at the age of 24 to continue her study in physics. During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist, Wu’s pioneering achievements won her nicknames such as “Chinese Madame Curie”, “queen of nuclear research” and “first lady of physics”. She was the first woman to be president of American Physical Society, the first female winner of the Comstock Prize in physics given by the US National Academy of Sciences, the first person to receive the Wolf Prize in physics, the first honorary doctorate awarded by Princeton University to a woman, and the first female professor of physics in the history of Columbia University. To get accurate results from experiments, she worked very hard day and night at a laboratory and gained a reputation (名声) for accuracy. There was a saying among physicists: If the experiment was done by Wu, it must be correct. She was always very careful in experiments, spending a great deal of time calibrating (校准) instruments. She didn’t start collecting data until she fully understood the instruments. Her experiments overturned many previous experimental results and theories, said Samuel Chao Chung Ting, American physicist and Nobel Prize winner. On Feb 16, 1997, Wu died in the US. According to her will, she was buried in her hometown Taicang. She was a distinguished world citizen, and was forever a Chinese. 4. What influenced Wu Chien-shiung when she was young? A. Her life in America. B. Her love for physics. C. Her family background. D. Marie Curie’s achievements. 5. What does the author intend to show in paragraph 3? A. Awards are usually gained through great efforts. B. Wu Chien-shiung was “a pioneer” in many ways. C. No scientists were better than Wu Chien-shiung. D. We cannot stress the importance of physics enough. 6. Which of the following can best describe Wu Chien-shiung? A. Caring and responsible. B. Courageous and creative. C. Stubborn and sensitive. D. Cautious and hardworking. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. An influential woman nuclear physicist. B. An important contribution to physics. C. The influence of modern education. D. Nuclear researches in scientific world. C Earth Day falls on April 22 each year to inform people about environmental problems and inspire them to act. It first came into being in 1970, followed in 1972 by World Environment Day. It has been celebrated ever since, slowly but surely picking up steam. Interestingly, it remained a grassroots affair for 20 years before spreading out to 140 countries in 1990. Now, it is celebrated around the world. Humans still face many challenges, such as climate change and plastic pollution. But we can all make a difference. When Claire was in the seventh grade, she learned about plans to expand and modernize her middle school. As a follower of Earth Day, she wanted to help. Claire asked the school board to add solar panels to the project because, she explained, clean energy would contribute to a truly modern school, and help her school pursue sustainable development. The board liked the idea but said it could contribute just $25,000, one-fifth of the cost. So Clarie turned to the community, looking for a solution. Her friends and neighbors shared her enthusiasm. Soon Claire organized a group of kids and adults, who set to work raising the rest. They wrote grant (拨款) requests, put on a talent show and asked for donations, even going door-to-door for them at Halloween. And they appealed to charitable foundations too. One donated more than half the cost! After two years of hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now supply one-fourth of the school’s electricity needs, saving the district thousands of dollars. “My favorite part about this project was that one person could start something small and then the project could grow and have a big impact on the community,” Claire said “There are always going to be barriers and hard parts. When there’s a challenge presented to you, use it as a learning moment and an opportunity to overcome it.” You can be a hero for the environment, so find out what can be recycled where you live. 8. What can we learn about Earth Day from the first paragraph? A. It was first celebrated on April 22, 1972. B. It gained instant popularity worldwide. C. It aims to raise environmental awareness. D. It promotes solutions to human challenges. 9. Why did Claire give advice to her school? A. To sell the solar panels. B. To make her school greener. C. To improve academic grades. D. To beautify the school campus. 10 What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. The vital role of charities. B. Difficulties in raising money. C. Constant efforts on the project. D. Financial support from the public. 11. Which of the following can best describe Claire? A. Responsible and determined. B. Generous and creative. C. Energetic and reliable. D. Curious and adventurous. D Intended to help draw down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, Tree-planting has become a synonym (同义词) for climate action. In our constant focus on trees, we’ve developed a fixed understanding: Trees absorb carbon dioxide, end of story. The reality is that trees don’t grow well alone. They exist within complex communities, helped along by each other as well as the animals they coexist with. The woodland isn’t nature’s only carbon sink: grasslands and oceans also help reduce the carbon level and rely on a healthy amount of biodiversity. That’s what the paper, published in Nature, wants to get across. Co-author Oswald J. Schmitz, a professor of ecology at Yale University, said trees might not be able to do their carbon-uptake job efficiently without the right animals in their ecosystem. That’s because animals animate the carbon cycle through their behavior and roles in the ecosystem. He added that the very presence of wild animals could cause feedback effects that change the ecosystem’s capacity to absorb, release, or transport carbon. In Serengeti, for instance, the sharp decline in wildebeest (角马) populations during the mid-20th century allowed grass to grow wildly, eventually promoting wildfires that consumed 80 percent of the ecosystem annually and led to a net release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. When disease management and bans on illegal hunting helped animal populations recover, a greater share of the carbon stored in plants was consumed by wildebeest and released as waste, keeping it in the system and restoring the grassland as a carbon sink. Researchers rarely consider wildlife conservation as a strategy to increase an ecosystem’s carbon storage capacity, said Schmitz. “They think that animals either aren’t important enough or that you can’t take up carbon and conserve animals at the same time,” he said. “Our message is that you can and should. It can be a win-win for both biodiversity conservation and carbon uptake.” We need a full picture — with both trees and animals — to explore nature’s full potential. 12. What does the first paragraph tell us? A. Actions are needed to reduce carbon dioxide. B. Trees are a quick solution to the climate crisis. C. Grasslands help maintain biodiversity. D. People are not thinking through trees properly. 13. What does the underlined word “animate” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Disturb. B. Restart. C. Activate. D. Break. 14. What does the author want to say by mentioning wildebeest? A. The conservation of animals is still a serious issue. B. Animals can swing the ecosystem’s capacity to store carbon. C. Human impacts bring about the reduction in wildlife populations. D. The increase in animal species causes a decrease in carbon uptake. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Animals Adjust Themselves to Climate Change B. Trees May Fail to Fulfil Their Duties without Animals C. Woodland Isn’t the Only Carbon Sink on the Earth D.

In order to maintain their high living standards, they went shopping at a market where everything was of high cost and had a fixed price . After purchasing all they needed, they called a porter to carry everything and drop it off at their home. The porter whose clothes were torn was of an old age, and looked very unhealthy. They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods to their home. The old porter quoted just $20, a price well below the market price. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15. The porter was struggling to make money for every single meal so he needed anything he could earn. The couple was very happy thinking about how well they had bargained with the poor porter, paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their home and one hour passed, and two hours passed, but the porter still didn’t deliver their stuff. The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such person, but you never listen to me. I am sure instead of delivering the goods to our home, he must have disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.” They both left towards the market. On their way near the market, they saw another porter. They stopped him to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying their goods in his cart! The angry wife asked him, “Where is that old thief? This is our goods and he was supposed to deliver them.
