It was a normal day in Altitude, a town high in the mountains. People were going about their daily routines, not knowing the disaster that was soon to come. Suddenly, the ground under their feet began to shake. Then people were thrown off their feet and objects flew off shelves. The sound of breaking glass and falling buildings filled the air.
Alice, a young girl who was in her house when the earthquake struck, knew she had to act fast. She got her emergency kit, which included food, water, and a first-aid kit, and ran out of the house.
The streets were messy. Traffic lights were out, cars were overturned, and people were running in fear. Alice knew she had to get to higher ground. She headed for the nearest hill, joining a group of other people. As they reached the top, the full force of the earthquake hit, but Alice and the others managed to stay on top of the hill.
After what seemed like a century, the earthquake finally stopped. Alice looked down at the town she had called home. It was in ruins. Houses were destroyed, roads were cracked open, and a large crack had formed in the middle of the town square.
Alice knew she had to help. She joined hands with other survivors and they began the rescue effort. With simple tools and their bare hands, they dug through the stones and bricks to find anyone who might be trapped inside. In the following days, Alice and the other survivors worked tirelessly to help, providing food, water, and medical aid to those in need. With the help of rescue teams and volunteers from around the country, they slowly but surely began to rebuild their town.
Alice’s experience changed her forever. She realized that life was uncertain, but also that people could come together in times of difficulty. She determined to help others whenever she could and above all never to forget the power of community.
4. What did Alice do shortly after the earthquake hit?

【4题详解】

The endangered pandas in Qinling Mountains might face a new threat: the loss of their food—bamboo, which makes up 99% of their meals.
Adult pandas spend most part of the day eating bamboo and have to take in at least 40 pounds a day to stay healthy. However, a new study published in Nature and Climate Change warned that they may soon find their food gone because most of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains might disappear by the end of the century as a result of rising temperature worldwide.
A team made up of researchers from Michigan State University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has studied the effects of climate change on the bamboo in Qinling Mountains. They have found that bamboo is very sensitive to climate changes. “80% to 100% of the bamboo would be gone if the average temperature increases 3.5 degrees worldwide by the end of the century.” said Liu Jianguo, one of the report’s authors. He added, “This is how much the temperature would rise by 2100 even if all countries will keep their promises in the Paris Agreement. But you know what is happening around the world.”
In recent years, China has been trying its best to protect the endangered pandas by setting up more and bigger natural reserves.
“But it is far from being enough and the endangered pandas need cooperation from the rest of the world because their future is not just in the hands of the Chinese,” said Shirley Martin from World Wildlife Fund but not a member of the team.
The Qinling Mountains, in the southwest of China, are home to about 260 pandas. That is about 13% of the Chinas wild panda population. In addition, about 375 are living in research centers and zoos in China.
8. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Necessity to Change Pandas’ Food B. A New Threat Faced by the Pandas
C. The Disappearance of Bamboo D. Efforts Made to Save Pandas
9. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Pandas have already eaten 99% of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains.
B. Pandas in Qinling Mountains are just threatened by the loss of food.
C. Lots of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains will possibly disappear.
D. Qinling Mountains cannot provide enough bamboo for the pandas.
10. What does Liu Jianguo mean?
A. Bamboo is sensitive to the changes of temperature.
B. China needs more help from World wildlife Fund.
C. China is making great efforts to protect the pandas.
D. It is difficult to control the temperature rise within 3.5 degrees.
11. How many wild pandas are there in China?
A. About 2,000. B. About 635. C. About 260. D. About 2,635.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章讲述了秦岭大熊猫的食物来源——竹子受到威胁。由于气候变暖,到本世纪末,秦岭的大部分竹子也许会遭遇灭顶之灾。研究者们呼吁采取措施进行保护。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段The endangered pandas in Qinling Mountains might face a new threat: the loss of their food—bamboo, which makes up 99% of their meals.可知,首段点明主题文章,重点讲述了秦岭大熊猫的食物来源—竹子受到威胁。这对于大熊猫生存来说是一个新的威胁。所以“大熊猫面临的新威胁”为最佳标题。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段The endangered pandas in Qinling Mountains might face a new threat: the loss of their food—bamboo, which makes up 99% of their meals.可知,秦岭濒危的大熊猫可能面临一个新的威胁:失去它们的食物竹子,竹子构成了它们99%的食物。由此推断出秦岭的大部分竹子也许会遭遇灭顶之灾,可能会消失。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中He added, “This is how much the temperature would rise by 2100 even if all countries will keep their promises in the Paris Agreement. But you know what is happening around the world.”可知,Liu Jianguo说即使各个国家都遵守巴黎协定,到2100年全球气温会增长3.5度。可以推断出Liu Jianguo认为控制温度上升很难。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段The Qinling Mountains, in the southwest of China, are home to about 260 pandas. That is about 13% of the Chinas wild panda population.可知,秦岭山上有260只熊猫,占中国野生熊猫总数的13%,中国野生熊猫的总数是通过260除以13%得2000计算出的。故选A。

Sports play a key role in the physical and mental development of children. Although it’s great to see a child succeed in one sport, it’s important to keep their activities in balance. Participation in multiple sports enables children to acquire a knowledge of many movement skills. In addition to this, here are some other good reasons why kids should be encouraged to play several sorts of sports.
Repetitive movements can overstress growing bodies which later on can lead to injuries. With multi-sports, each sport works the body slightly differently. This will lead to fewer overuse injuries. Also, kids who overspecialize in one sport may end up losing interest and eventually give up. Specializing in a sport raises expectations and may put too much pressure on young kids. Having a variety of experiences will keep children interested and motivated, and even make them enjoy sports without any pressure.
Multi-sports also allow kids to experience different roles. Being a goalkeeper in a football team is very different from being a point guard in basketball. Being exposed to baseball develops better hand-eye coordination (协调). Soccer develops better footwork (步法). Volleyball develops jumping and hand-eye coordination. Martial arts develop strength, mobility, and discipline. Swimming develops full-body coordination and strength. The list goes on and on! Participation in multiple sports broadens a child’s developmental social, and situational experience. It opens up opportunities to become a better competitor and a promising athlete — flexible and energetic.
Many sports superstars like Stephen Curry achieved their standing today by playing multiple sports. Curry played basketball but he also played baseball, football, soccer, and everything else in a sports buffet. What worked for Curry, experts say, could work for most of us.
Besides developing a wide range of sports skills, more importantly, multi-sports provide opportunities for children to discover their liking. With the help of the right coaches, sports become fun, inspiring kids’ interests. So if you can’t decide whether your child should focus on one sport or try some different sports, I hope you can make a better decision now.
12. What will happen to kids if they do one sport repeatedly?
A. They can stay more focused.
B. They can spare more time to study.
C. They can be skilled at the sport early.
D. They can be more likely to get injured.
13. What’s implied about multi-sports in Paragraph 3?
A. They inspire kids’ sporting spirit.
B. They help kids develop their special talents.
C. They have much higher requirements for kids.
D. They help promote kids’ all-round development.
14. What does the author want to express in the last paragraph?
A. Multi-sports help kids find their favorite sports.
B. Sports skills make kids more popular at school.
C. Parents should lower their expectations for kids.
D. Children should turn their interests into professions.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. How sports benefit kids.
B. What sports children should try.
C. Why kids should try multi-sports.
D. Why multi-sports are popular today.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章认为应该让儿童参与多种体育运动,因为这样可以避免单一运动造成的损伤和无趣,帮助孩子培养多项身体能力并助力全面发展,并引导孩子发现自己真正的兴趣所在。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Repetitive movements can overstress growing bodies which later on can lead to injuries.(重复的动作会给生长中的身体造成过度压力,随后会导致受伤。)”可知,如果儿童重复进行同样的运动,会导致身体负担过重,很可能会受伤。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Participation in multiple sports broadens a child’s developmental social, and situational experience. It opens up opportunities to become a better competitor and a promising athlete — flexible and energetic.(参与多种体育活动可以拓宽儿童的社会发展和情境体验。它为成为一个更好的竞争者和一个有前途的运动员提供了机会——灵活而充满活力。)”可知,参与多种体育运动让儿童发展多种能力,有助于他们将来的发展。由此推知,多种运动有助于儿童的全面发展。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Besides developing a wide range of sports skills, more importantly, multi-sports provide opportunities for children to discover their liking. With the help of the right coaches, sports become fun, inspiring kids’ interests.(除了发展广泛的运动技能外,更重要的是,多种运动为孩子们提供了发现自己喜好的机会。在合适教练的帮助下,运动变得有趣,激发孩子们的兴趣。)”可知,参与多种运动可以激发孩子的兴趣,从而发现自己最喜欢哪一种运动。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章介绍了让儿童参与多种体育运动的好处,包括避免单一运动造成的损伤和无趣,帮助孩子培养多项身体能力并助力全面发展,引导孩子发现自己真正的兴趣所在。因此,C项“为什么儿童应尝试多种体育运动”符合文章大意。故选C项。

根据上文“Bullies might hit, kick, or push to hurt kids, or use words to call names, tease, or scare them.(霸凌者可能会打、踢或推人来伤害孩子,或者用言语辱骂、戏弄或恐吓他们)”可知,根据前一句说的是霸凌者会做的行为,而E选项也在描述霸凌者做的事,并且E选项中的even表递进。故E选项“有些霸凌者甚至威胁孩子或试图让他们做他们不想做的事情”符合语境,故选E。
【17题详解】

【18题详解】
本空为本段小标题,根据本段内容“Some bullies are looking for attention. They might think bullying is a way to be popular or to get what they want. Most bullies are trying to make themselves feel more important.

Some bullies come from families where everyone is angry and shouting all the time.(一些霸凌者在寻求关注。他们可能认为欺凌是一种受欢迎或得到他们想要的东西的方式。大多数霸凌者都试图让自己觉得自己更重要。当他们欺负别人时,会让他们觉得自己很强大。有些恃强凌弱者的家庭里,每个人都很愤怒,总是大喊大叫)”可知,本段主要围绕着霸凌者会为什么霸凌别人进行分析,故B选项“为什么霸凌者会那样做?”符合语境,故选B。

But sometimes just acting bravely is enough to stop a bully.(尽你所能,避免霸凌者。当然,你不能躲起来或逃课。但如果你能选择不同的路线,避开坏孩子,那就去做吧。抬头挺胸,要勇敢。当你害怕另一个人时,你可能并不觉得自己勇敢。但有时只要勇敢地行动,就足以阻止一个恶霸)”可知,后文主要说明要勇敢地行动,不要给霸凌者欺负你的机会,故G选项“不要给霸凌者机会”符合语境,故选G。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Talk to someone you trust if you are bothered by a bully.(如果你被欺负了,和你信任的人谈谈)”以及后文“Make a plan to walk with a friend or two on the way to school, recess, lunch, or wherever you think you might meet the bully.(制定一个计划,和一两个朋友一起在上学、课间休息、午餐或任何你认为可能会遇到霸凌者的地方散步)”可知,上文假定了情境是你遭受了霸凌,后文提到建议做好计划以和朋友同行去任何可能遭受霸凌的地方,即借助朋友的力量来避免被霸凌。故F选项“如果你想避免被霸凌,两个人比一个人更好”符合语境,故选F。

It was a normal day in Altitude, a town high in the mountains. People were going about their daily routines, not knowing the disaster that was soon to come. Suddenly, the ground under their feet began to shake. Then people were thrown off their feet and objects flew off shelves. The sound of breaking glass and falling buildings filled the air.
Alice, a young girl who was in her house when the earthquake struck, knew she had to act fast. She got her emergency kit, which included food, water, and a first-aid kit, and ran out of the house.
The streets were messy. Traffic lights were out, cars were overturned, and people were running in fear. Alice knew she had to get to higher ground. She headed for the nearest hill, joining a group of other people. As they reached the top, the full force of the earthquake hit, but Alice and the others managed to stay on top of the hill.
After what seemed like a century, the earthquake finally stopped. Alice looked down at the town she had called home. It was in ruins. Houses were destroyed, roads were cracked open, and a large crack had formed in the middle of the town square.
Alice knew she had to help. She joined hands with other survivors and they began the rescue effort. With simple tools and their bare hands, they dug through the stones and bricks to find anyone who might be trapped inside. In the following days, Alice and the other survivors worked tirelessly to help, providing food, water, and medical aid to those in need. With the help of rescue teams and volunteers from around the country, they slowly but surely began to rebuild their town.
Alice’s experience changed her forever. She realized that life was uncertain, but also that people could come together in times of difficulty. She determined to help others whenever she could and above all never to forget the power of community.

The endangered pandas in Qinling Mountains might face a new threat: the loss of their food—bamboo which makes up 99% of their meals.
Adult pandas spend most part of the day eating bamboo and have to take in at least 40 pounds a day to stay healthy. However, a new study published in Nature and Climate Change warned that they may soon find their food gone because most of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains might disappear by the end of the century as a result of rising temperature worldwide.
A team made up of researchers from Michigan State University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has studied the effects of climate change on the bamboo in Qinling Mountains. They have found that bamboo is very sensitive to climate changes. “80% to 100% of the bamboo would be gone if the average temperature increases 3.5 degrees worldwide by the end of the century.” said Liu Jianguo, one of the report’s authors. He added, “This is how much the temperature would rise by 2100 even if all countries will keep their promises in the Paris Agreement. But you know what is happening around the world.”
In recent years, China has been trying its best to protect the endangered pandas by setting up more and bigger natural reserves.
“But it is far from being enough and the endangered pandas need cooperation from the rest of the world, because their future is not just in the hands of the Chinese,” said Shirley Martin from World Wildlife Fund but not a member of the team.
The Qinling Mountains, in the southwest of China, are home to about 260 pandas. That is about 13% of the Chinas wild panda population. In addition, about 375 are living in research centers and zoos in China.
8. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Necessity to Change Pandas’ Food B. A New Threat Faced by the Pandas
C. The Disappearance of Bamboo D. Efforts Made to Save Pandas
9. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Pandas have already eaten 99% of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains.
B. Pandas in Qinling Mountains are just threatened by the loss of food.
C. Lots of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains will possibly disappear.
D Qinling Mountains cannot provide enough bamboo for the pandas.
10. What does Liu Jianguo mean?
A. Bamboo is sensitive to the changes of temperature.
B. China needs more help from World wildlife Fund.
C. China is making great efforts to protect the pandas.
D. It is difficult to control the temperature rise within 3.5 degrees.
11. How many wild pandas are there in China?
A. About 2,000. B. About 635. C. About 260. D. About 2,635.
D
Sports play a key role in the physical and mental development of children. Although it’s great to see a child succeed in one sport, it’s important to keep their activities in balance. Participation in multiple sports enables children to acquire a knowledge of many movement skills. In addition to this, here are some other good reasons why kids should be encouraged to play several sorts of sports.
Repetitive movements can overstress growing bodies which later on can lead to injuries. With multi-sports, each sport works the body slightly differently. This will lead to fewer overuse injuries. Also, kids who overspecialize in one sport may end up losing interest and eventually give up. Specializing in a sport raises expectations and may put too much pressure on young kids. Having a variety of experiences will keep children interested and motivated, and even make them enjoy sports without any pressure.
Multi-sports also allow kids to experience different roles. Being a goalkeeper in a football team is very different from being a point guard in basketball. Being exposed to baseball develops better hand-eye coordination (协调). Soccer develops better footwork (步法). Volleyball develops jumping and hand-eye coordination. Martial arts develop strength, mobility, and discipline. Swimming develops full-body coordination and strength. The list goes on and on! Participation in multiple sports broadens a child’s developmental social, and situational experience. It opens up opportunities to become a better competitor and a promising athlete — flexible and energetic.
Many sports superstars like Stephen Curry achieved their standing today by playing multiple sports. Curry played basketball but he also played baseball, football, soccer, and everything else in a sports buffet. What worked for Curry, experts say, could work for most of us.
Besides developing a wide range of sports skills, more importantly, multi-sports provide opportunities for children to discover their liking. With the help of the right coaches, sports become fun, inspiring kids’ interests. So if you can’t decide whether your child should focus on one sport or try some different sports, I hope you can make a better decision now.
