This is Danny Jackson with weather watch, brought to you every day at this time by the Austin Chamber of Commerce. The week­long extended forecast for Austin and the Texas Hills calls for mostly sunny weather today and Tuesday, with temperatures in the high seventies. By Wednesday, a cold pressure area that has been building up over the Gulf of Mexico should begin to move inland over Texas, bringing about a ten­degree drop in the temperature over the south central part of the state. By Wednesday night, that same low pressure should probably be dropping rain over the Austin area, with rain continuing into Thursday and possibly even early Friday. By Friday afternoon though, if all goes well, we should begin to see clear skies again, with a corresponding rise in temperature back into the seventies. Saturday and Sunday look like they'll be just beautiful. Danny Jackson with weather watch. Have a good week, Austin. 18．On what day will you probably hear this weather forecast? A．On Saturday morning. B．On Sunday morning. C．On Monday morning. 答案：C 19．When is it likely to rain? A．By Thursday. B．By Tuesday night.

These must­read environmental books are sure to spark the interest of the greenest books. Silent Spring Written by Rachel Carson, Silent Spring highlights the effects of pesticides (杀虫剂) on the environment, especially DDT, which was a very popular insecticide until it was finally banned in 1972. The book eventually led to a change in the United States' pesticide policy and contributed to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference This book collects 11 speeches made by climate activist Greta Thunberg, highlighting the issue of climate change and its impact on future generations. Greta Thunberg was 15 when she started the School Strike for Climate, also known as Fridays for Future. She inspired protests worldwide. The Uninhabitable Earth This book by David Wallace Wells examines the disasters that have already occurred and looks ahead to the year 2100 and what climate change will do if we continue on our current path. Its opening line is incredibly telling: “It is worse, much worse, than you think.” The End of Nature Published in 1989, the book describes the relationship between nature and humans. It expresses the idea that nature was previously independent of humans but has now been affected by them in every way. According to author Bill McKibben, the idea of wilderness is lost, and nature is no longer complete. 篇章导读：本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四本关于环境保护的书籍。 21．Which book brought the environment to the government's attention?

It's what the now 18­year­old soccer player treasures, especially since Kenya has an ongoing problem with deforestation. Mutunkei follows in the footsteps of the late Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai who founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977. This initiative has resulted in the planting of over 51 million trees to date. In 2018, Lesein decided to start a movement of his own. He started by planting one tree for every goal he scored during a football match. He called it Trees4Goals, and it has grown so much that he now plants 11 trees, one for each member of his team, every time he scores. Through this, he wants to inspire young people, specifically his fellow athletes, to follow in his footsteps, take nature conservation seriously, and promise to plant trees every time they score. As a result, some of them have adapted this practice for their sports. “Seeing that they're taking that responsibility because of the project I started, for me, that is the biggest achievement，” he said. The initiative has caught the attention of English football club Arsenal and Kenya's Ministry of Environment and Forestry, which he now works with regularly and gets advice from. Like Green Belt Movement, Trees4Goals, which has planted 5，500 trees so far, has made it. While Lesein has received some recognition for his initiative, he sets his sights on making it a worldwide phenomenon. “Football is a universal game, and climate change is a universal problem，” he explains. “It has the power to unite, educate and inspire my generation to create a safer and greener future.” This is why he wants to work with the world's biggest football federation FIFA. As for what others can do to fight deforestation or other environmental concerns, the teenager says it's important to just get involved in some way, no matter how small. 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Lesein Mutunkei (莱塞因·穆图凯)发起了“一球一树(Trees4Goals)”运动，为保护环境作出了巨大贡献。 24．What made Lesein get interested in environmental protection?

Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important and was fulfilling on a deeper level. Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut for three months to participate in Adamah, a Jewish farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. The Adamah program opened Sacks's eyes to the damage consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. From then on, she began what she calls “trash walking”． While walking around her neighborhood, Sacks, 31, picked through rubbish to look for reusable items. Soon, her trash walks expanded to include company rubbish along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great stuff—like clothing, dinnerware, and food—all of which she documents on Instagram and TikTok. Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her educational, funny, and surprising videos that highlight the problems with consumerism and share information about how to live a more sustainable life. “The root issue is overproduction, which leads to overconsumption, which leads to a large amount of waste，” she says. Sacks's videos have gone viral many times, causing shockwaves through the industries she calls out. Trash walking has given Sacks a nearly endless supply and she shares much of her “treasure” with others. She tries giving them informally to family, friends, or individuals she knows may need a specific item. Then she takes the remaining items to free stores so other New Yorkers can benefit from her treasure­hunting. Sacks's main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve，” she says. 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位名叫Anna Sacks (安娜·萨克斯)的女性通过“垃圾漫步”来减少浪费，提高人们对可持续生活方式的认识。 28．What inspired Sacks to begin her “trash walking”？ A．Her desire to live a richer life. B．The great need for household stuff. C．Her involvement in a project. D．The wish to be an Internet star. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，Sacks参加了一个项目后，看到了消费文化在地方、国家和全球层面上造成的损害，以及找到解决方案的必要性，于是她开始了“垃圾漫步”。故选C。 29．What do Sacks' videos focus on? A．Funny stories. B．Views on consumption. C．Educational courses. D．Solutions to problems. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Under the name The Trash Walker ... she says.”可知，Sacks的视频主要和消费主义相关，包括她对消费的看法。故选B。 30．How does Sacks deal with her trash? A．She donates all to the charity. B．She keeps most for her family. C．She gives away much to others. D．She sells some to individuals. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中的“She tries giving ... treasure­hunting.”可知，Sacks将大部分的垃圾送给了家人、朋友和免费商店。故选C。 31．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Trash Walker: Find Treasure in Trash B．Trash Walking: A Tough Journey C．Trash Walker: Live in the Moment D．Trash Walking: A New Career 答案：A 解析：标题判断题。文章主要介绍了Anna Sacks通过“垃圾漫步”活动在垃圾中寻找可重复使用的物品，并将这些“宝藏”分享给他人的故事。因此，A项(垃圾漫步者：在垃圾中寻找宝藏)最适合作为文章标题。故选A。 D You'll need to take a deep breath before hearing this news. An astonishing 93% of kids around the world live in environments with air pollution levels that are damaging their health, according to a new report by World Health Organization (WHO)． Air pollution is to blame for the deaths of 543，000 kids under 5 in 2016, with more than one in four deaths of children under five­year­old being related to environmental problems. Exposure to air pollution can damage the health of kids in a variety of ways, either causing or being associated with everything from low birth weight to childhood obesity (肥胖) and so on. “The diseases and deaths shown by these new data should result in an urgent call to action for the global community—especially for those concerning health，” WHO stated. “Strong action to reduce exposure to air pollution offers a chance to protect the health of children.” The report stressed that health expert should communicate with families, communities and policy­makers about the serious risks of air pollution exposure. “Although more researches into how air pollution affects children's health will continue to be valuable, there is already evidence to justify strong and swift action to prevent the damage it clearly produces，” WHO added. Disease caused by dirty air is more common in low and middle­income countries, especially those in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Western Pacific. Poor countries in these areas have the highest levels of exposure to household air pollution due to the use of polluting fuels and technologies for basic needs like cooking, heating and lighting. Advised approaches to dealing with air pollution include cleaner transport, cleaner cooking and heating fuels and technologies, energy­efficient housing and urban planning, safer industrial technologies and better waste management. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了空气污染对全球儿童健康造成的严重影响。 32．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．The varieties of illnesses most children are living with. B．The serious results of widespread environmental problems. C．The harmful influence of air pollution on children's health. D．The health problems from birth resulting from air pollution. 答案：C 解析：段落大意题。根据第二段中的“Exposure to air pollution ... childhood obesity (肥胖) and so on. (暴露在空气污染中会以多种方式损害儿童健康，从出生体重不足到儿童肥胖等等，都可能导致或与之相关。)”可知，第二段主要讲述了空气污染对儿童健康的有害影响。故选C。 33．What does WHO say about air pollution exposure? A．It needs to be cut down. B．It is truly out of control. C．Its risks require proving. D．Its damage is poorly known. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Although more researches ... it clearly produces(尽管更多关于空气污染如何影响儿童健康的研究仍将是有价值的，但已经有证据证明有理由采取强有力且迅速的行动来防止其明显造成的损害)”可推知，世界卫生组织的看法是需要减少空气污染。故选A。 34．What most likely leads to household air pollution? A．Old and outdated publish transport. B．Unclean cooking and heating fuels. C．Money­saving waste management. D．Inexpensive industrial technologies. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Poor countries ... heating and lighting. (这些地区的贫穷国家由于使用污染性燃料和技术来满足烹饪、取暖和照明等基本需求，家庭空气污染程度最高。)”可知，不清洁的烹饪和取暖燃料最有可能导致家庭空气污染。故选B。 35．From which section of a newspaper is the text most probably taken? A．Lifestyle. B．Environment. C．Medicine. D．Science. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。本文主要介绍了空气污染对全球儿童健康造成的严重影响，由此可推知，本文最可能出自报纸中的“环境”版面。故选B。 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。 Some paper plates can be recycled. __36__ Rather than throw them away after one use, consider more eco­friendly choices. __37__ First, they're coated in plastic. This coating offers a smooth surface and prevents the paper plate from taking in liquids. Usually, the coating can't be separated from the paper in a recycling facility, so these paper plates can't be recycled like regular paper. Second, they're polluted with food waste. Once they've been used, paper plates become covered in food waste. This adds pollutants to the recycling process. __38__ If you're trying to reduce your impact on the environment, then looking at ways to reuse any paper plates you do have is a good option. If you bought heavy­duty paper plates and they're only a little dirty after use—if you served dry food on them, for example—you can clean them and use them again. __39__ The most obvious alternative to paper plates is reusable plates. Even though you have to wash them with water, the environmental impact of a reusable plate will still be lower. If you're looking for a semi­disposable (用数次的) plate，then you can find plates made from natural materials like bamboo. These plates can be used and washed or cleaned a few times. __40__ A．The short answer is yes and no. B．However, the vast majority usually can't. C．At the end of their life, they will break down naturally. D．PLA is a bioplastic that's used to coat some paper plates. E．So most cities won't accept used paper plates for recycling. F．There are two main reasons why the majority of paper plates can't be recycled. G．If you have clean paper plates, they can be used for a wide range of other projects. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了纸盘很难被回收，并建议选择可重复使用的盘子。 36．答案：B 解析：根据上文“Some paper plates can be recycled.(一些纸盘可以被回收利用。)”可知，B项(然而，绝大多数通常不能。)承接上文，与上文构成转折关系，符合语境。故选B。 37．答案：F 解析：根据下文“First, they're coated in plastic. (首先，它们被塑料包裹。)”和“Second, they're polluted with food waste.(其次，它们被食物垃圾污染了。)”可知，本段主要是在介绍纸盘不能回收的主要原因，F项(大多数纸盘不能回收有两个主要原因。)引出下文。故选F。 38．答案：E 解析：根据上文“Once they've been used ... the recycling process.(纸盘子一旦被使用，就会被食物垃圾覆盖。这增加了回收过程中的污染物。)”可知，E项(所以大多数城市不接受用过的纸盘进行回收。)承接上文，与上文构成因果关系。故选E。 39．答案：G 解析：根据上文“If you bought ... use them again.”可知，此处介绍了我们使用坚固耐用的纸盘子，弄脏之后清洗掉可以再次使用。G项(如果你有干净的纸盘，它们可以用于各种各样的其他项目中。)承接上文。故选G。 40．答案：C 解析：根据上文“These plates can be used and washed or cleaned a few times.(这些盘子可以使用、清洗或清洁几次。)”可知，C项(在它们生命的尽头，它们会自然地分解。)承接上文，其中“they”指代上文中的“These plates”；naturally与上文中的natural为同族词复现。故选C。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A forest after a wildfire Throughout my career, I've had many chances to enter various wildfire areas. But I've __41__ had the opportunity to see the immediate scene after a fire. So when I __42__ into a recently burned forest, my first reaction was the deathly __43__ hung in the air. There were no birds, no breeze caught in the leaves of a tree, or animal noises. It felt as if life itself had totally __44__ from this place. What was even worse, the burned­out forest meant that a large amount of __45__ alongside the road was no longer __46__ by the undergrowth (灌木丛). Oil cans, glass, plastic bags—you name it, and you can find it. Knowing there was a story here that needed __47__， I raised my camera with a heavy heart, no matter how __48__. Photographing burned­out areas is __49__， since there is really only a bunch of burned­out wood. Through my lenses, I sought to connect viewers to the __50__ of the disaster. For a nature photographer passionate about environmental protection, it's important to __51__ the ugly as well as the beautiful.

The scientists say that the current warming could have the same influence __60__ mammals—and could even make humans __61__ (small)． Horses __62__ (start) out small, about the size of __63__ small dog like a miniature schnauzer (雪纳瑞). __64__ is surprising is that after they first appeared, they then became even smaller and then __65__ (dramatic) increased in size, and that exactly agrees with the global warming event. “It had been known that mammals were small when it was warm, but we hadn't understood that the temperature really was driving the evolution of body size，” Dr Bloch said in the Science journal. 56．______　57.______　58.______　59.______ 60．______　61.______　62.______　63.______ 64．______　65.______ 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。科学家们研究发现全球变暖可能使人类变得更矮，并以马的进化为例进行了说明。 56．答案：to have found 解析：考查非谓语动词。句型：主语＋be said to do意为“据说……”；由于find所表示的动作发生在谓语动词之前，应用不定式的完成时。故填to have found。 57．答案：heating 解析：考查非谓语动词。the earth和heat up之间为主动关系，应用现在分词作后置定语。故填heating。 58．答案：appearance 解析：考查词性转换。句意：科学家们利用化石追踪了马从5，600万年前最早出现的进化过程。设空处作介词from的宾语，应用名词。故填appearance。 59．答案：said 解析：考查动词的时态。动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时。引用某人原话时，往往在直接引语后出现谓语和主语倒置的现象，即谓语动词said置于主语之前。故填said。 60．答案：on/upon 解析：考查介词。句意：科学家们说，目前的变暖可能对哺乳动物产生同样的影响，甚至可能使人类变得更小。have influence on/upon意为“对……有影响”。故填on/upon。 61．答案：smaller 解析：考查形容词的比较级。根据上文Global warming could make humans shorter可知，此处指使人类更矮小，应用形容词的比较级。故填smaller。 62．答案：started 解析：考查动词的时态。句意：马开始的时候很小，大约像一只小型犬，比如迷你雪纳瑞犬。陈述过去的事件，应用一般过去时。故填started。 63．答案：a 解析：考查冠词。此处泛指一只小型犬，应用不定冠词，且small的发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。 64．答案：What 解析：考查主语从句的连接词。设空处引导主语从句，从句缺少主语，表示“……的事”，应用what引导；句首单词首字母应大写。故填What。 65．答案：dramatically 解析：考查词性转换。修饰动词increased应用副词，表示“急剧地”。故填dramatically。 第四部分　写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 6月8日为联合国指定的世界海洋日，海洋污染越来越严重，假定你是校学生会的主席李华，请用英语为学校写一篇关于“保护海洋”的倡议书。内容包括： 1．当前海洋的状况； 2．保护海洋的重要性及措施； 3．提出倡议。 注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear schoolmates， I am Li Hua, chairman of the Student Union. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Yours， Li Hua [精彩范文] Dear schoolmates， I am Li Hua, chairman of the Student Union. The UN officially named June 8th as World Oceans Day, aiming to arouse public awareness of protecting oceans. As the sea pollution is becoming more and more serious, I advocate we contribute our strength to the ocean preservation. There is no denying that ocean preservation is of great significance. For one thing, the ocean provides us with abundant resources. For another, the ocean is crucial to the global climate. Thus, we cannot shrink from our responsibility. First, do what we can to make a difference. Furthermore, appeal to people around us to take action as well. Let's make joint efforts to help clean up the ocean.

But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse sill, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore. They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste.One weekend，Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day's hard work, there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure. That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ate silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, “You two looked so down. What happened？”Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a low voice，“It's those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible.”Understanding the pair's disappointment, their father patted them on the back and comforted, “Well, it's really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem.”“Just two of us，”complained Maria and Peter, looking at each other.Suddenly, an idea flashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement. “Yes, that's the point! We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action！” the pair said in chorus. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article on WeChat. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了住在沿海城市的Maria (玛丽亚) 和Peter (彼得)发现塑料袋被扔在海滩上，对此很苦恼，决定要做点什么来阻止美丽的大海被污染。他们打算做什么？他们能否得到他人的支持？ [精彩范文] Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning. Maria and Peter decided to take advantage of the Internet. “Maybe we can write an article to arouse people's awareness，” Maria proposed. “Good idea! We can also make a video！” Peter added. The next few hours witnessed their heated discussion and growing confidence in a clean and beautiful coast. The next day, they went to the beach and filmed a short video showing plastic bags lying on the beach and floating in the sea. Peter, who was good at writing, wrote an article talking about the present situation of the beach and asking people to take part in the clean­up. Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article on WeChat. To their amazement, their post went viral online immediately. Countless comments flooded in saying how heartbroken they were when looking at the polluted beach and ocean. What amazed Maria and Peter more was that numerous people in their community, encouraged by their efforts, offered to join in their clean­up. More and more people came to the beach to collect plastic bags and they also appealed to others to avoid throwing or using plastic bags. A year later, with their joint and continuous effort, the coast regained its beauty and Maria and Peter regained their long­awaited pleasure. 24 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
