Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
A selection of wildlife sculptures made out of recycled rubbish is being displayed at an exhibition at the Harley Gallery in Glasgow,the UK.The sculptures have been created by Glasgow-based artist Michelle Reader,who has been working with recycled materials for over 20 years.The inspiration behind this collection of artwork was the increase in fly-tipping.Fly-tipping is when people illegally dump rubbish or litter in a public place.
Reader told the BBC,“Glasgow Wildlife Trust showed me some of the materials that were found on their reserves—a washing machine,rusty bike frame,car tyres.” She decided to create wildlife sculptures out of these materials to encourage people to think about the damage fly-tipping can do to the environment and wildlife.Her three-dimensional artworks included recycled items such as skis,a gas mask,and washing machine parts.
Reader often drew inspiration from the “beauty of the natural world”,and said that the large model of the white-tailed bee was inspired by the many hours she spent on her distribution.Another sculpture,of a bearded eagle,was inspired by the sighting of one such bird in the Peak District in July 2020.This was only the second time it had been spotted in the UK.
Other projects Reader has been involved with have highlighted issues such as the importance of recycling and reducing food waste.In April,the National Space Centre in Leicester,England,launched their Home Planet gallery,which featured an art installation from Reader.Using rubbish found in rivers,such as plastic bottles,tennis balls,footwear,and toys,Reader created a large wave of sculpture to highlight the problem of littering.
Reader says that through her sculptures she draws attention to environmental issues in an attractive and humorous way.The exhibition is on at the Harley Gallery in Glasgow,the UK,until 24 July.

A broken heart.A sad ending to a love affair.That’s something most of us have experienced.After all,it’s part of human life.But no question,the experience can be destructive.
However,research shows there are pathways through the heartache.Listening to sad music is a major one.It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again.It can activate(激活) empathy(共鸣) and the desire to connect with others—both ways through the prison of heartache and despair.
Sad music can help heal and improve your condition from your broken heart.A recent study from Germany found the emotional impact of listening to sad music can activate feelings of empathy,sympathy,and a desire for positive connection with others.That,itself,is psychologically healing.It draws you away from the loss of yourself,and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment,from the University of Kent,found that when people were experiencing sadness,listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” strengthened their mood.In fact,it did so when the person first consciously had their awareness of the situation causing their sadness,and then began listening to the sad music.That is,when they intended that the sad music might help,they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show facing your sad situation emotionally—accepting reality as it is—leads to healing and growth beyond it.In short,admitting your full experience arouses hope.For example,research from Cornell University,found that admitting discomfort about a life experience or new situation,and viewing it as a step towards growth and change,leads to motivation to find a pathway through it,beyond it.As Churchill famously said,“If you’re going through hell,keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan,a new action.It fuels hope.
5.What is the function of paragraph 1?
A.Telling a sad experience.
B.Expressing the insight into life.
C.Leading in the topic.
D.Arousing reader’s sympathy.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。通读文章可知,第一段通过描述大多数人在生活中会遇到的感情创伤来引出话题,下文就怎样治愈这种创伤给出了方法。故选C。
6.What can we learn from the study from Germany?
A.Listening to sad music can cure people of heartache.
B.Realizing their sadness,people may willingly listen to sad music.
C.Embracing sadness,people can have a better future.
D.Listening to sad music can motivate people to connect with others.
答案 D

7.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 possibly mean?
A.Walk alongside discomfort.
B.Sadness stops you from growing.
C.Say no to things that challenge you.
D.Difficulties will not always stay with you.
答案 A

8.What is a suitable title for the text?

Wetlands,making up about 6% of Earth’s land surface,are found on every continent except for Antarctica. 1
Protecting against floods. 2 The plants and soil in wetlands act as natural sponges(海绵),storing excess water during heavy rainfall or storms.Thus,wetlands can reduce the risk of flooding in surrounding areas.
Purifying(净化) water.Wetlands have exceptional abilities to purify water.Acting as natural filters,the plants,soil and micro creatures in wetlands remove sediments,excess nutrients and pollutants from water sources. 3 And the water can be suitable for various uses such as drinking,irrigation and supporting aquatic life.Wetlands are particularly effective in removing harmful chemicals,heavy metals and excessive nitrogen and phosphorus(磷),which can otherwise cause water pollution.
4 Wetlands are incredibly productive ecosystems,providing habitats for a diverse range of plant and animal species.The complex and dynamic wetland environments support a lot of amphibians,birds,fish,mammals,reptiles and invertebrates.Many of these species are dependent on wetlands for survival,using them as breeding grounds,feeding areas and nurseries.Wetlands also serve as important stopover sites for migratory birds,offering them crucial resting and feeding areas during their long journeys.
Fighting climate change.Aside from these vital functions,wetlands also play a significant role in fighting climate change. 5 They act as carbon(碳) sinks,absorbing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere,thus mitigating the greenhouse effect and reducing the impacts of climate change.Moreover,wetlands help regulate local and regional climates by influencing the temperature,humidity and rainfall patterns.They act as natural cooling systems,reducing heat island effects and moderating the local temperature.
However,the world’s wetlands are being lost at an alarming rate.Restoration and conservation projects offer hope that these ecosystems can be saved.
A.Supporting life.
B.Protecting birds.
C.This process helps to improve water quality.
D.The water stored in wetlands can be drunk.
E.Wetland plants have remarkable carbon storage capabilities.
F.Wetlands play an important role despite their small coverage.
G.Wetlands play a crucial role in protecting against floods.
