Deserts are places where water is scarce. People living in deserts have to be very careful with water. They 1.______ use water for unnecessary things.

Most of the water in deserts comes from underground, and it costs a lot of money to 3.______ wells to get water. We may not worry about water in our daily life, but we should still be aware of water conservation. We can learn from the people in deserts and start to 4.______ water in our own ways, like turning off the tap when brushing teeth and 5.______ rainwater for later use.
1. 答案:C. seldom
解析:根据“People living in deserts have to be very careful with water.”可知,生活在沙漠里的人必须非常珍惜水,所以他们“很少”把水用在不必要的事情上。“seldom”表示“很少;不常”,符合语境,故填C。
2. 答案:A. reuse
解析:由“A family in the desert may only take a shower once a week and...the water after showering for other purposes.”可知,沙漠里的一个家庭可能一周只洗一次澡,并且会把洗澡后的水“再利用”于其他用途。“reuse”意思是“再利用;重复使用”,符合沙漠地区人们节约用水的做法,所以填A。
3. 答案:B. dig
解析:根据“Most of the water in deserts comes from underground, and it costs a lot of money to...wells to get water.”可知,沙漠里的大部分水来自地下,要得到水需要花费很多钱“挖”井。“dig”有“挖掘;挖”的意思,“dig wells”表示“挖井”,符合文意,所以填B。
4. 答案:D. save
解析:从“We may not worry about water in our daily life, but we should still be aware of water conservation. We can learn from the people in deserts and start to...water in our own ways”可知,我们虽然在日常生活中可能不担心水的问题,但仍要意识到节约用水,并且可以向沙漠里的人学习,开始以自己的方式“节约”水。“save”表示“节约;节省”,符合“water conservation(节约用水)”的语境,所以填D。
5. 答案:E. collect
解析:根据“like turning off the tap when brushing teeth and...rainwater for later use.”可知,这里列举了一些节约用水的方式,比如刷牙时关掉水龙头,以及“收集”雨水以备后用。“collect”有“收集;采集”的意思,“collect rainwater”表示“收集雨水”,符合节约用水的做法,所以填E。
第二节(共10个小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分15分)

13. A. buy B. sell C. wash D. wear
14. A. understand B. forget C. hide D. doubt
15. A. waste B. protect C. pollute D. change
6. 答案:B. roles
解析:“play important roles in...”为固定短语,意为“在……中起重要作用”。此句表达不同的水体,如太平洋、尼罗河和贝加尔湖,在我们的生态系统中起重要作用。“games”(游戏)、“tricks”(诡计;窍门)、“cards”(卡片)均不符合语境,所以选B。
7. 答案:A. on
解析:“travel on...”表示“在……上航行”,这里说许多船只每天在太平洋上航行,连接世界不同的地方。“in”(在……里面)、“at”(在……地点)、“over”(在……上方)用在此处不恰当,所以选A。
8. 答案:B. longest
解析:根据常识,尼罗河是世界上最长的河流。“longest”(最长的)符合实际情况。“shortest”(最短的)、“biggest”(最大的)、“smallest”(最小的)均不符合尼罗河的特征,所以选B。
9. 答案:C. along
解析:“along its banks”表示“沿着河岸”,意思是尼罗河为沿着河岸的人们、动物和植物提供水源。“in”(在……里面)、“to”(到;向)、“under”(在……下面)都不能准确表达“沿着河岸”的意思,所以选C。
10. 答案:B. much
解析:“water”是不可数名词,“many”和“few”修饰可数名词复数,所以A、C选项错误;“little”表示“几乎没有”,带有否定含义,而此句表达在一些地方人们没有足够的干净水喝,“much”(许多)修饰不可数名词,“not much”表示“没有很多”,符合语境,所以选B。
11. 答案:A. pour
解析:“pour...into...”是固定短语,意为“把……倒入……”,这里指一些工业把废水倒入河流和湖泊中,使水变脏。“drink”(喝)、“use”(使用)、“make”(制作)都不符合“把废水倒入河流湖泊”的意思,所以选A。
12. 答案:D. action
解析:“take action”是固定短语,意为“采取行动”。此句表达我们人类需要采取行动。“take pictures”(拍照)、“take steps”(采取措施,step常用复数形式表示具体的步骤)、“take notes”(做笔记)都不符合语境,所以选D。
13. 答案:C. wash
解析:“wash clothes”是固定短语,意为“洗衣服”,这里说我们在洗碗或洗衣服时可以少用水。“buy”(买)、“sell”(卖)、“wear”(穿)都不符合“少用水”的情境,所以选C。
14. 答案:A. understand
解析:根据语境,我们也可以鼓励其他人理解水的重要性。“understand”(理解)符合文意。“forget”(忘记)、“hide”(隐藏)、“doubt”(怀疑)都与鼓励他人了解水的重要性不符,所以选A。
15. 答案:B. protect
解析:前文提到水污染和短缺问题,以及我们要采取的行动,所以这里是通过共同努力,我们可以希望为子孙后代保护地球上的水。“protect”(保护)符合语境。“waste”(浪费)、“pollute”(污染)与我们的目的相悖;“change”(改变)没有“保护”更贴合文意,所以选B。

解析:由文章第二段“Another significant festival is the Mid - Autumn Festival. It falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. People enjoy the full moon, eat mooncakes, and express their longing for family members far away.”可知,在中秋节人们通常赏月、吃月饼,并表达对远方亲人的思念。A选项“挂红灯笼”、B选项“吃饺子”、D选项“收红包”是春节的习俗,而C选项“赏月和吃月饼”是中秋节的活动,所以选C。
18. 答案:B
解析:根据文章第三段“Paper - cutting uses red paper cut into various patterns, such as animals or flowers, to decorate houses during festivals.”可知,剪纸使用的材料是红纸,B选项正确。A选项“布”、C选项“丝绸”、D选项“木头”都不是剪纸所用的材料,所以排除。

解析:由文章第三段“Embroidery, with its delicate stitches and beautiful colors, is often used to create clothes, handkerchiefs, and decorative items.”可知,刺绣针法细腻、颜色漂亮,常被用来制作衣服、手帕和装饰物品等各种物品。A选项“它只被用来制作衣服”,与原文不符,刺绣还可制作手帕和装饰物品等;B选项“它针法简单”,原文说的是“delicate stitches(细腻的针法)”,并非简单;C选项“它被用来制作各种颜色漂亮的物品”符合原文描述;D选项“它不是中国传统文化的一部分”,与原文“Traditional handicrafts like paper - cutting and embroidery are also part of Chinese culture.”相悖。所以C选项正确。

20. 答案:C

21. 答案:C
解析:由文章第二段中“In India, arranged marriages are still quite common in many places. Families play a major role in finding suitable partners for their children.”可知,在印度,很多地方包办婚姻仍然很常见,家庭在为孩子寻找合适的伴侣方面起着主要作用。A选项“孩子们自己”、B选项“他们的朋友”、D选项“政府”在文中均未提及是负责为孩子找伴侣的,所以C选项“他们的家庭”正确。
22. 答案:C
解析:根据文章第三段中“In some African tribes, body art and unique hairstyles are important forms of self - expression. They use natural materials to create beautiful patterns on their bodies, and different hairstyles can indicate a person's age, marital status, or social position.”可知,在一些非洲部落,身体艺术和独特的发型是自我表达的重要形式,不同的发型可以表明一个人的年龄、婚姻状况或社会地位。A选项“仅仅是一个人的年龄”,不全面;B选项“一个人的情绪”、D选项“一个人的爱好”在文中未提及,所以C选项“一个人的年龄、婚姻状况或社会地位”正确。
23. 答案:B
解析:文章开篇指出“The world is full of different cultures, and each region has its own unique features.”,然后分别介绍了日本、印度、一些非洲部落的独特文化习俗,如日本打招呼鞠躬、进门脱鞋,印度的包办婚姻,非洲部落的身体艺术和发型等。A选项“不同的国家有不同的语言”,文章主要说的是文化习俗而非语言,不符合文意;C选项“世界上所有的文化都是相同的”与原文意思相悖;D选项“日本文化是最有趣的”,文章只是列举了不同地区文化,没有比较谁最有趣,过于片面。B选项“不同地区的人们有各种各样独特的文化习俗”符合文章主旨,所以正确。

For example, students studying abroad can easily keep in touch with their parents at home.”可知,互联网使交流变得更加容易,人们可以通过发送电子邮件、进行视频通话等方式即时与远方的亲朋好友联系。A选项“它使交流更困难”与原文不符;C选项“它使人们停止面对面交流”,文中未提及;D选项“它只改善了商业交流”,原文说的是人们与亲朋好友的交流也变得容易,并非只针对商业,所以B选项“它通过允许即时联系使交流更容易”正确。
25. 答案:B
解析:由文章第二段“Online shopping has also become extremely popular. People can buy almost anything they want, from clothes and electronics to food, without leaving their homes. They can compare prices from different sellers and read product reviews before making a purchase.”可知,人们在网上购物时可以购买几乎任何东西,并且能够比较不同卖家的价格,在购买前阅读产品评论。A选项“只能买衣服”错误,还能买电子产品、食物等;C选项“只能从当地卖家购买”,文中未提及;D选项“他们在购买前看不到产品”,文章未提及此内容,所以B选项“比较价格和阅读评论”正确。
26. 答案:B
解析:根据文章第三段“However, the Internet also has some disadvantages. There is a lot of false information online, which can mislead people. Online privacy is also a concern, as personal information might be leaked.”可知,互联网的缺点是网上存在很多虚假信息会误导人们,并且存在网络隐私问题,个人信息可能会被泄露。A选项“使用它太昂贵”文中未提及;C选项“它没有缺点”与原文不符;D选项“它使人们太懒而不愿出门”不是文中提到的缺点,所以B选项“存在虚假信息和隐私问题”正确。
27. 答案:C
解析:文章第一段和第二段介绍了互联网的优点,如使交流更方便、网上购物流行等;第三段介绍了互联网的缺点,如存在虚假信息和隐私问题。A选项“互联网对人们完全有益”,忽略了其缺点;B选项“互联网只带来了问题”,忽略了其优点;D选项“人们应该停止使用互联网”,文章只是指出了互联网的优缺点,并未得出此结论,所以C选项“互联网既有优点也有缺点”正确。

E. Everyone should play a part in protecting our water on the earth.
F. There are many ways we can save water in our own lives too.
28. 答案:D
解析:前文“Saving water is crucial, especially in regions where water is scarce.”强调了节约用水的重要性,特别是在缺水地区。后文“In deserts, for instance, water is extremely precious. People there have to be very careful with every drop of water.”以沙漠地区为例说明了缺水地区的情况。D选项“Different regions have different water - usage situations.”(不同地区有不同的用水情况)能够很好地衔接上下文,引出下文对沙漠地区用水情况的描述,所以选D。
29. 答案:A
解析:前文“A family living in the desert may take a shower only once a week.”描述了沙漠地区一个家庭一周只洗一次澡的情况,后文“After showering, they reuse the water for other purposes, such as cleaning or watering plants.”说明了洗完澡后水的再利用。A选项“This shows how they make the most of the limited water.”(这表明他们如何充分利用有限的水)起到了承上启下的作用,解释了前面一周洗一次澡以及后面水再利用都是在充分利用有限的水资源,所以选A。
30. 答案:B
解析:前文“Most of the water in deserts comes from underground. But digging wells to get water is expensive and the water supply is limited.”指出沙漠地区获取水的方式及存在的问题,即打井取水贵且水源有限。后文“They rarely plant water - thirsty plants like flowers or grass.”是他们采取的节水措施。B选项“So, they have to find ways to save water and use it efficiently.”(所以,他们必须找到节约用水并有效利用水的方法)符合逻辑,因为水源有限所以要找节水方法,引出后面很少种植需水量大的植物这一措施,所以选B。
31. 答案:F
解析:前文“We can learn from the people in water - scarce areas.”提到我们可以向缺水地区的人学习,后文“For example, we can fix leaky faucets promptly and use a bucket instead of a hose when washing the car.”举例说明了我们在生活中可以采取的节水措施。F选项“There are many ways we can save water in our own lives too.”(在我们自己的生活中也有很多我们可以节约用水的方法)能够很好地衔接上下文,引出下文具体的节水方法例子,所以选F。
32. 答案:E
解析:前文“By adopting these water - saving measures, we can help conserve water resources and make a difference.”强调了采取节水措施的意义,E选项“Everyone should play a part in protecting our water on the earth.”(每个人都应该在保护地球上的水资源方面发挥作用)进一步升华了主题,强调每个人都要参与到保护水资源中来,符合语境,所以选E。

40. 答案:it directly
解析:根据前文“Most of the water on the earth is sea water”可知,这里用“it”指代“sea water”,“直接”的英文是“directly”,作状语修饰动词“use”,所以“我们不能直接使用”应翻译为“we can't use it directly”,故填“it directly” 。

43. 答案:being
解析:句中已有谓语动词“covers”,“The Pacific Ocean”与“be”之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词“being”作定语,修饰“The Pacific Ocean”,表示“太平洋作为四大洋之一”,故填“being”。
44. 答案:which
解析:“The Nile River, 44.______ runs through eastern Africa, is the longest river in the world.” 这里是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是“The Nile River”,指物,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词“which”引导,故填“which”。
45. 答案:supports
解析:根据句子“It provides water for millions of people and 45.______ (support) rich ecosystems along its banks.” 可知,“and”连接两个并列的谓语动词,“provides”是一般现在时的第三人称单数形式,所以“support”也应用第三人称单数形式“supports”,与“provides”保持时态一致,故填“supports”。
46. 答案:threatened

47. 答案:dirtier
解析:根据“Pollution from industrial activities and agricultural chemicals is making the water 47.______ (dirty) and unfit for use.” 以及语境可知,污染让水变得更脏了,这里有比较的含义,“dirty”的比较级是“dirtier”,所以填“dirtier”。
48. 答案:awareness
解析:“raise”是动词,后面需要接名词作宾语,“aware”是形容词,其名词形式是“awareness”,“raise awareness of...”表示“提高……的意识”,所以填“awareness”。
49. 答案:responsibilities
解析:“responsibility”作“责任;职责”讲时,是可数名词,根据“Governments and individuals both have...”可知,政府和个人都有责任,所以这里用复数形式“responsibilities”,故填“responsibilities”。
50. 答案:reusing
解析:“like”在这里是介词,意为“像;例如”,介词后面接动词的 -ing 形式,“reuse”的 -ing 形式是“reusing”,“take simple steps like reusing water at home”表示“采取像在家重复用水这样的简单措施”,所以填“reusing”。
51. 答案:guarantee
解析:“hope to do sth.”表示“希望做某事”,“and”连接两个并列的动词原形,与“protect”并列,“guarantee”意为“保证;确保”,所以填“guarantee”,“protect these precious water resources and guarantee a better future”表示“保护这些珍贵的水资源并确保一个更美好的未来”。
52. 答案:counts
解析:句子“Let's remember that every drop of water 52.______ (count), and we should use it wisely.” 描述的是客观事实,时态为一般现在时,主语“every drop of water”是第三人称单数,所以“count”要用第三人称单数形式“counts”,“count”在这里意为“重要;有价值”,故填“counts”。

Our Responsibility to Protect Water Resources
Water resources are facing numerous challenges, such as pollution and uneven distribution. As individuals, we have a crucial responsibility to protect them. Pollution from industries and daily life harms aquatic ecosystems and reduces the amount of clean water available.
We can contribute in many ways. Firstly, we should avoid wasting water in our daily use. Secondly, we can properly dispose of waste to prevent it from polluting water sources. Also, we can spread awareness among our friends and family about the importance of water protection. By taking these small steps, we can play our part in safeguarding our planet's precious water resources for future generations.
