According to a study in Nature Climate Change, the number of most polar bears will 16 rapidly (迅速地) by 2080. There are two reasons. One is that the sea ice is melting. Polar bears hunt on the ice. Without ice, they have to 17 on land. But there is not 18 food on land to support so many polar bears. The animals could die from hunger. The other reason is that mother bears may not be fat enough to 19 milk for their babies, so some bears could stop having babies. The Arctic is the 20 to about 25,000 polar bears. Arctic sea ice 21 melts in spring and summer, and then grows in winter. But now, the ice is taking longer to grow back. Scientists say the Arctic is warming twice as 22 as the rest of the earth. The study also shows that it is possible to 23 Arctic melting. In order to slow down climate change, the world should try to stop burning coal (煤) and riding in cars. Saving the bears is 24 us.

In all, he has completed the afforestation（植树造林）of more than 2,000 mu of land and has planted more than 600,000 trees. Over the years, he has donated young trees worth more than 4 million yuan. He was awarded the title of National Model of Greening and Afforestation in 2006, and received the National Green Gold Great Wall Medal in 2018. Li was born in 1944 in Shandong province. In 1973, he came to Daur to visit relatives. To pass time, he collected mushrooms, fungus and hazelnuts and earned more than 300 yuan a week. That was what he used to earn in his hometown in a year. So he decided to stay there a live a better life. In the following years, Li and his wife lived a quiet and comfortable life by farming. But a sudden rainstorm in 1980 washed away their land. Therefore, he decided to plant trees to make a living and protect the local environment. Seeing he was strong-willed, his wife decided to go up into the mountains with him. Life in the mountains was very hard. There was no electricity and mosquitoes were everywhere. There were no vegetable fields, so they had to pick wild vegetables to feed themselves. They had little for rest. Planting trees in spring is the hardest. Every morning, they had to move the young trees up to the mountain, and work for more than 10 hours every day. What’s worse, because of a lack of（缺乏）technology and planting experience, less than 10% of the young trees could survive in the first seven years. So Li began to read various forestry magazines. Their hard work attracted support from the local government including technology and money. Thanks to that, more than 95% of the pine trees could grow well. They have also put their experience in planting trees in a guidebook to share with the villagers, to encourage others to take up afforestation. And now Li Zhenhai’s biggest wish is that everyone plants a few trees every year. He believes the desert will finally become an oasis by doing this. 26．What difficulties did Li and his wife face? A．They sometimes met rainstorms. B．There were no vegetables for them to eat. C．They didn’t have enough experience in planting trees. D．They were too old to carry the trees to the mountain. 27．What can be used to describe Li? ① strict about his work                        ② never give up his dream ③ willing to share                            ④ ready to create A．① and ② B．② and ③ C．② and ④ D．③ and ④ 28．Which shows the correct order of the old couple’s story? a. Their land was washed away. b. Li collected mushrooms, fungus and hazelnuts. c. They shared their experience with the villagers. d. Li and his wife lived a hard life in the mountains. e. They got technical support from the local government. f. Li received the National Green Gold Great Wall Medal. A．b-a-d-e-c-f B．b-d-a-c-e-f C．f-b-d-a-e-c D．f-b-a-d-e-c 29．What can be the best title for the passage? A．A Tree-planter’s life B．Planting Trees is Good for Us C．Li Zhenhai, a Real Tree-planter D．Li Zhenhai and His Wife B Every drop of water is valuable. Maybe we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want. However, around 750 million people don’t have clean water to drink. That’s around 1 in 10 people in the world. 2.5 billion people don’t have clean toilets. If we drink dirty water or we can wash our hands when we go to the toilet, we can catch diseases. In some countries, children walk far every day to get water! As a result, they can’t go to school to get an education (教育). In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Water Day. On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water. And they also tell people clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. People organize (组织) activities to raise money to help countries get clean water for their people. On this day, some people in the UK walk, run or cycle 10km, and others climb mountains. At one school children aged between 10 and 15 walk 6km with 6 litres of water so they can see how they feel to walk a long distance carrying heavy bottles of water. People give them money to do these things and all the money helps get clean water for as many people as possible around the world. 30．According to the second paragraph, the children in some countries can’t go to school because . A．they have to look after animals on the farm B．they are too poor to get an education C．they live far from the schools D．they spend most of their time carrying water from faraway places 31．What does the underlined word “raise” mean? A．Collect. B．Lend. C．Offer. D．Choose. 32．Which is NOT the purpose of the activities on March 22nd? A．To educate people about water problems. B．To help children carry water from faraway places. C．To let people know that everyone should have clean water. D．To raise some money for the countries that need clean water. 33．What is the passage mainly about? A．World Water Day. B．How to get clean water. C．Countries that are short of water. D．Why the children can’t go to school. C The world uses about 1,000 million tons of water a day. Using water is a human right and everyone should have their own part. But more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water. Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater. While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 3% is fresh water—that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, about 97% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then the technology of desalination comes to help. More than 19,000 factories around the world, mostly in coastal countries use this technology. They process more than 92 million tons of sea water every day. But the technology they use needs a lot of energy. Scientists are working for a new technology and make it cost less. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough in the future. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone. 34．How does treating wastewater help the environment? A．By letting waste run into oceans. B．By keeping waste in rivers and oceans. C．By stopping fresh water to rivers and oceans. D．By stopping waste from running into rivers and oceans. 35．What does the underlined word “desalination” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．海水运输 B．海水发电 C．海水淡化 D．海水冷却 36．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．At present, the technology to process water needs much energy. B．At present, the technology to process water saves a lot of money. C．In the future, the technology to process water will make less money. D．In the future, the technology to process water will produce more sea water 37．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Our planet is full of water. B．We still have water problem. C．Everyone has enough clean water. D．Using water should be a human right. D Do you know ChatGPT? It’s an artificial intelligence (AI, 人工智能) tool (工具). It can answer questions, tell stories and do much more. But it’s very “thirsty (渴的)”, said a new study. ChatGPT has “homes” around the world in data centers (数据中心). When it works, the computers at the data centers get very hot. Workers then have to use water to cool them down. Cold water goes into pipes (管道) near the computers. The water needs to be very clean. They can’t use seawater because it can eat away at the pipes. When you ask ChatGPT 20 to 50 questions, it “drinks” 500 milliliters of water. Scientists used 700,000 liters of water to build ChatGPT. The water use is very big. People can make 370 cars with it. ChatGPT is just one AI tool. You need data centers to do everything on the Internet. There are more than 8,000 data centers around the world. The number is still growing. We may have to “fight (斗争)” with AI for water in the future. 38．What do we know about the data centers in Paragraph 2?   a. They are AIs just like ChatGPT. b. They are in different places in the world. c. They are ChatGPT’s homes to keep it cool. d. The computers there get hot when ChatGPT works. A．ab B．bc C．ac D．bd 39．What kind of water can be used to cool down the computers? A．Seawater. B．Dirty water. C．Cold and clean water. D．Hot water. 40．Which can be the best title (标题) for the passage? A．Everyone must save water! B．Does the Internet work well? C．Give the AI a drink D．ChatGPT’s future 第二节 阅读填空 （共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 You may think there is only sand (沙子) in the desert (沙漠) of the world, but it is not true.

Maybe we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want. However, around 750 million people don’t have clean water to drink. That’s around 1 in 10 people in the world. 2.5 billion people don’t have clean toilets. If we drink dirty water or we can wash our hands when we go to the toilet, we can catch diseases. In some countries, children walk far every day to get water! As a result, they can’t go to school to get an education (教育). In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Water Day. On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water. And they also tell people clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. People organize (组织) activities to raise money to help countries get clean water for their people. On this day, some people in the UK walk, run or cycle 10km, and others climb mountains. At one school children aged between 10 and 15 walk 6km with 6 litres of water so they can see how they feel to walk a long distance carrying heavy bottles of water. People give them money to do these things and all the money helps get clean water for as many people as possible around the world. 30．According to the second paragraph, the children in some countries can’t go to school because . A．they have to look after animals on the farm B．they are too poor to get an education C．they live far from the schools D．they spend most of their time carrying water from faraway places 31．What does the underlined word “raise” mean?

C．To let people know that everyone should have clean water. D．To raise some money for the countries that need clean water. 33．What is the passage mainly about? A．World Water Day. B．How to get clean water. C．Countries that are short of water. D．Why the children can’t go to school. 【答案】30．D 31．A 32．B 33．A 【导语】本文讲述了世界水日这一天世界各国举办的活动。 30．细节理解题。根据第二段“In some countries, children walk far every day to get water!”可知，有些国家的孩子不能上学是因为他们大部分时间都在从遥远的地方取水，故选D。 31．词义猜测题。根据“money”和“help countries get clean water for their people”可知，这里指筹钱，所以raise意为“筹集”，与collect同义，故选A。 32．细节理解题。根据第三段“On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water. And they also tell people clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. People organize (组织) activities to raise money to help countries get clean water for their people.”可知，3月22日活动的目的是教育人们有关水的问题，让人们知道每个人都应该有干净的水，以及为那些需要清洁水的国家筹集一些资金，选项B“帮助孩子们从遥远的地方挑水”不是活动的目的，故选B。 33．主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了世界水日这一天世界各国举办的活动，故选A。 C The world uses about 1,000 million tons of water a day. Using water is a human right and everyone should have their own part. But more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water. Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater. While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 3% is fresh water—that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, about 97% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then the technology of desalination comes to help. More than 19,000 factories around the world, mostly in coastal countries use this technology. They process more than 92 million tons of sea water every day. But the technology they use needs a lot of energy. Scientists are working for a new technology and make it cost less. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough in the future. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone. 34．How does treating wastewater help the environment? A．By letting waste run into oceans. B．By keeping waste in rivers and oceans. C．By stopping fresh water to rivers and oceans. D．By stopping waste from running into rivers and oceans. 35．What does the underlined word “desalination” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．海水运输 B．海水发电 C．海水淡化 D．海水冷却 36．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．At present, the technology to process water needs much energy. B．At present, the technology to process water saves a lot of money. C．In the future, the technology to process water will make less money. D．In the future, the technology to process water will produce more sea water 37．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Our planet is full of water. B．We still have water problem. C．Everyone has enough clean water. D．Using water should be a human right. 【答案】34．D 35．C 36．A 37．B 【导语】本文讲述地球上的水资源是有限的，全世界很多地方的人们仍然没有办法获得干净、安全的水。因此科学家们正在努力创造一种技术来降低淡水处理的成本。 34．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Treating waste water is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans.”可知，处理废水是为我们提供淡水的好方法，它还有助于保护环境，使废物远离河流和海洋。故选D。 35．词义猜测题。根据单词所在的上下文语境“ The rest, about 97% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then the technology of desalination comes to help.”可知，地球上97%的水在海洋里，是咸水不能喝，然后下文“More than 19,000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries use this technology.”可知有很多工厂被建并使用这项技术。由此可推测desalination的意思应该是“海水淡化”，故选C。 36．细节理解题。根据“But the technology they use needs a lot of energy.”可知，目前，水处理技术需要大量能源。故选A。 37．推理判断题。根据“But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.”可知，现在，世界每天仍然面临着没有足够的水供每个人使用。由此可知现在水问题仍然非常严重，故选B。 D Do you know ChatGPT? It’s an artificial intelligence (AI, 人工智能) tool (工具). It can answer questions, tell stories and do much more. But it’s very “thirsty (渴的)”, said a new study. ChatGPT has “homes” around the world in data centers (数据中心). When it works, the computers at the data centers get very hot. Workers then have to use water to cool them down. Cold water goes into pipes (管道) near the computers. The water needs to be very clean. They can’t use seawater because it can eat away at the pipes. When you ask ChatGPT 20 to 50 questions, it “drinks” 500 milliliters of water. Scientists used 700,000 liters of water to build ChatGPT. The water use is very big. People can make 370 cars with it. ChatGPT is just one AI tool. You need data centers to do everything on the Internet. There are more than 8,000 data centers around the world. The number is still growing. We may have to “fight (斗争)” with AI for water in the future. 38．What do we know about the data centers in Paragraph 2?   a. They are AIs just like ChatGPT. b.
