In Kenya’s countryside, many women had to struggle with dried-up streams, food shortages, and long journeys to collect firewood for fuel and fencing — problems mainly caused by deforestation (森林砍伐). To solve these issues, Professor Wangari Maathai started the Green Belt Movement (GBM) in 1977 to encourage women to work together to plant trees, which would help hold soil, store rainwater, and provide food and firewood. By doing so, they could also earn small payments for their work.
The movement started with just seven trees planted on World Environment Day in 1977. Yet within months, it grew into a national effort with thousands of trees planted in rows to form “green belts”. As the trees took root, Professor Maathai saw something deeper. The women’s struggles went beyond drought to their lack of voice in community decisions. In response, the Green Belt Movement launched the Community Empowerment (赋权) and Education conferences to teach people how to stand up for their rights while protecting the land, empowering women to lead and challenge the traditional roles.
Looking back, the journey has by no means been easy. Time and again, the group stood against powerful interests — from stopping a 60-story building in Nairobi’s Uhuru Park (1989) to saving Karura Forest from privatization (1999). These victories came at great risk. Professor Maathai and members always faced violent attacks and even death threats during protests. Yet, GBM never stopped. To date, hundreds of thousands of women have become involved, and over 5,000 tree farms have been established. More than 51 million trees have been planted — on farms, in schools and churches, along rivers, and throughout the nation, contributing significantly to environmental protection and sustainable (可持续的)development.
In 2004, Professor Maathai was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her contributions to sustainable development, democracy (民主) and peace. Today, the work of Professor Maathai and the Green Belt Movement continues to stand as living proof that small actions make big changes.
4. Why did Professor Maathai originally start the Green Belt Movement?
A. To ensure food safety. B. To create job opportunities.
C. To unite women for land rights. D. To help women overcome environmental hardships.
5. What did Professor Maathai realize after the movement started?
A. Lack of community fund. B. Strong disagreements from powerful interests.
C. Women’s absence from community decisions. D. Difficulty in growing trees in drought-hit areas.
6. Which of the following best describes the Green Belt Movement?
A. Tough but successful. B. Traditional but significant.
C. Unrecognized but sustainable. D. Limited but well-known.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Trees for a Greener World B. Green Roots to Empowerment
C. Facing Preservation Challenges D. Empowering Women through Leadership
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】

(回首往事,这段历程绝非一帆风顺。他们一次又一次地与强大的势力作斗争——从阻止内罗毕乌胡鲁公园上建造一座60 层的高楼(1989 年),到阻止卡鲁拉森林被私有化(1999 年)。这些胜利来之不易,付出了巨大的代价)”以及末段末句“Today, the work of Professor Maathai and the Green Belt Movement continues to stand as living proof that small actions make big changes. (如今,马塔伊教授的事业以及“绿带运动”仍在继续,它生动地证明了小小的行动也能带来巨大的改变)”可知,本文旨在说明绿带运动不光保护环境,而且赋予女性权力。选项B表示“绿色根基到赋权”,涵盖本文的中心。故选B项。
C
Beavers are famous for building dams out of trees and branches that they cut with their powerful front teeth. The animals also use grass, stones and mud to make these structures stronger. But why do they do so?
Simply put, beavers build dams to stay safe, which is particularly challenging because of their clumsy (笨拙的) body shape and movements. “Beavers are 18 to 36 kilograms of meat with really short legs,” says fisheries biologist Chris Jordan.
This makes them easy targets for predators (捕食者). “When beavers are on land, they’re so clumsy, like big chickens walking around that any predator would love to have for a meal,” says another scientist Emily Fairfax. “But when they’re in the water, they’re almost invincible. They’re excellent swimmers and can hold their breath for 10 to 15 minutes. By building a dam, they create a pond(池塘), and that pond is their safety zone.”
These ponds are deep enough for beavers to hide from predators such as mountain lions, bears and wolves. Dams can also flood areas to bring them closer to their main food sources, which include bark and leaves from trees and other plants. Although dams protect beavers, they do not live inside them. Instead, they often live in oven-shaped lodges made of sticks, grass and other materials, in families of five on average.
Interestingly, beaver dams benefit not only their creators, but many other species as well. “Beaver dams help slow down water and keep it on the landscape longer,” says Fairfax. “This turns simple streams into thriving wetlands. The amount of food and water available there makes them ideal habitats for many different species. That’s one reason why beavers are a keystone species.”
Therefore, restoring beavers to their original habitats can help reduce the effects of climate change and benefit their ecosystems. There, their dams slow down the flow of water, and some of it is stored in the ground. This means that plant roots have access to water even during droughts, which helps to keep vegetation lush (植被繁茂). As such, the dams can bear heat. It is inspiring to see how well beavers are able to survive in a changing climate and do some of the climate change adaptation work that humans have been trying to do.
8. Why do beavers build dams according to the text?
A. To get away from heat. B. To practice swimming.
C. To make their teeth powerful. D. To escape from being attacked.
9. What does the underlined word “invincible” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Unconquerable. B. Independent. C. Brave. D. Sensitive.
10. What’s the benefit of beavers’ dams?
A. Increasing the population of beavers. B. Improving the climate in the region.
C. Giving more living places to beavers. D. Supporting the survival of various species.
11. What’s the author’s attitude to beavers’ work?
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Uninterested. D. Unclear.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了海狸因笨拙筑坝造池塘避天敌、近食物,其堤坝有益多种物种,助减缓气候变化,作者称赞了其适应力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Simply put, beavers build dams to stay safe, which is particularly challenging because of their clumsy (笨拙的) body shape and movements.(简单来说,河狸建造水坝是为了保障自身安全,但这颇具挑战性,因为它们笨拙的体型和行动方式使其难以应对)”以及第三段“When beavers are on land, they’re so clumsy, like big chickens walking around that any predator would love to have for a meal(当河狸在陆地上时,它们非常笨拙,就像大公鸡四处走动,任何捕食者都会很乐意将其当作一顿美餐)”可知,河狸建造水坝的原因是为了躲避攻击。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“They’re excellent swimmers and can hold their breath for 10 to 15 minutes.(他们游泳技术精湛,能够屏住呼吸长达10到15分钟)”可知,海狸在水中是优秀的游泳者,能憋气10到15分钟,结合前文“This makes them easy targets for predators (捕食者).(这使得它们很容易成为捕食者的攻击目标)”提到“在陆地上易被攻击”的对比,可推断“invincible”意为“不可战胜的,难以对付的”。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““Beaver dams help slow down water and keep it on the landscape longer,” says Fairfax. “This turns simple streams into thriving wetlands. The amount of food and water available there makes them ideal habitats for many different species. That’s one reason why beavers are a keystone species.”(费尔法克斯说:“河狸修建的水坝能够减缓水流速度,使水流在地表停留更长时间。这样一来,原本普通的溪流就会变成生机勃勃的湿地。那里丰富的食物和水源条件使其成为众多不同物种的理想栖息地。这就是为什么河狸是关键物种之一的原因。”)”可知,河狸修建的水坝有助于多种生物的生存。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, restoring beavers to their original habitats can help reduce the effects of climate change and benefit their ecosystems. There, their dams slow down the flow of water, and some of it is stored in the ground. This means that plant roots have access to water even during droughts, which helps to keep vegetation lush (植被繁茂). As such, the dams can bear heat. It is inspiring to see how well beavers are able to survive in a changing climate and do some of the climate change adaptation work that humans have been trying to do.(因此,将水獭放回它们原本的栖息地有助于减轻气候变化的影响,并有益于它们所生活的生态系统。在那里,它们建造的水坝会减缓水流速度,部分水流会渗入地下。这意味着即使在干旱时期,植物的根部也能获得水分,从而有助于保持植被茂盛。因此,这些水坝能够承受高温。看到水獭在不断变化的气候中如此出色地生存下来,并完成了一些人类一直试图完成的气候变化适应工作,真是令人鼓舞)”可知,作者对河狸的工作是赞成的。故选B。

Create a power list
____13____. List out the three to five things that need to get done that day to help move your day along. Completing that power list is how you identify the day as a win. The idea is that those three to five things are the 20 percent that matters and the 80 percent left is basically busy work or simply won’t move the needle like the other 20 percent will.
Never stop being curious
Curiosity is what drove all great inventions. If the Wright brothers weren’t curious about what it would feel like to escape gravity, would we have planes? Well, maybe yes — but not as soon. ____14____. “Never stop being curious about people, ideas and new innovations (创新),” said Grant Schreiber, founding editor at Real Leaders.

Reading even on topics unrelated to your business can inspire fresh ideas for the company you run.
Don’t multitask (多任务)
Successful people are having a single-minded focus. Every time we try to do two or more things at once, we’re simply dividing up our focus and weakening all the outcomes in the process.

【12题详解】
根据上文“The 24 hours you are currently living in determine your level of success. You have the ability right now to make choices to drive your goals. That opportunity does not exist in yesterday or in tomorrow. Today is the only time to make progress and take necessary steps to achieve what you desire.(你当下所经历的这24小时将决定你的成功程度。此刻你有能力做出选择,以推动你的目标实现。这样的机会不在过去,也不在未来,只有今天才是进步和采取必要措施以达成你所期望之事的唯一时机)”可知,本段强调“当下24小时”的重要性,指出今天是取得进步的唯一时间,即强调从现在开始行动,故E选项“从问问自己现在能做什么开始”承接上文,符合语境,故选E。
【13题详解】
根据标题“Create a power list (创造动力清单)”以及后文“List out the three to five things that need to get done that day to help move your day along.(列出当天需要完成的三到五件事情,这些事情有助于推动你的一天顺利进行)”可知,本段介绍的建议是“动力清单”,F项提到“类似待办清单,但更聚焦”既解释了清单的性质,又引出后文“列出3到5件关键事”,故F选项“这与待办事项清单类似,但更具针对性”符合语境,故选F。
【14题详解】
根据上文“Curiosity is what drove all great inventions. If the Wright brothers weren’t curious about what it would feel like to escape gravity, would we have planes? Well, maybe yes — but not as soon.(好奇心是推动所有伟大发明的动力。如果莱特兄弟当初没有对摆脱重力的感觉感到好奇,我们会有飞机吗?或许会有——但不会这么快出现)”可知,本段主题是“保持好奇心”,前文以莱特兄弟为例说明好奇心的推动作用,G选项“对知识的渴望促使社会摆脱旧的传统”中This desire for learning是保持好奇心的具体体现,承接上文,符合语境,故选G。
【15题详解】

【16题详解】
根据上文“Multitasking is like an octopus (章鱼) on roller skates: (多任务处理就像一只穿着溜冰鞋的章鱼)”可知,前文将多任务处理比作“穿溜冰鞋的章鱼”,本句承接上文,说明多任务的低效,故D选项“多个部分在动却无处可去”符合语境,故选D。

【答案】flexibly
【解析】

【答案】are being recycled
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态和语态。句意:现在,一些工人正在回收这些玻璃瓶。句分析句子可知,中时间状语“Now”表明动作正在进行,主语“the glass bottles”与谓语动词“recycle”之间是被动关系(瓶子被回收),因此需用现在进行时的被动语态,其结构为“am/is/are + being + 过去分词”。主语“bottles”是复数,故be动词用“are”,“recycle”的过去分词为 “recycled”。故填are being recycled。
34. He has reached a stage ______ he can speak English fluently. (用适当的词填空)

In Kenya’s countryside, many women had to struggle with dried-up streams, food shortages, and long journeys to collect firewood for fuel and fencing — problems mainly caused by deforestation (森林砍伐). To solve these issues, Professor Wangari Maathai started the Green Belt Movement (GBM) in 1977 to encourage women to work together to plant trees, which would help hold soil, store rainwater, and provide food and firewood. By doing so, they could also earn small payments for their work.
The movement started with just seven trees planted on World Environment Day in 1977. Yet within months it grew into a national effort with thousands of trees planted in rows to form “green belts”. As the trees took root, Professor Maathai saw something deeper. The women’s struggles went beyond drought to their lack of voice in community decisions. In response, the Green Belt Movement launched the Community Empowerment (赋权) and Education conferences to teach people how to stand up for their rights while protecting the land, empowering women to lead and challenge the traditional roles.
Looking back, the journey has by no means been easy. Time and again, the group stood against powerful interests — from stopping a 60-story building in Nairobi’s Uhuru Park (1989) to saving Karura Forest from privatization (1999). These victories came at great risk. Professor Maathai and members always faced violent attacks and even death threats during protests. Yet, GBM never stopped. To date, hundreds of thousands of women have become involved, and over 5,000 tree farms have been established. More than 51 million trees have been planted — on farms, in schools and churches, along rivers, and throughout the nation, contributing significantly to environmental protection and sustainable (可持续的)development.
In 2004, Professor Maathai was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her contributions to sustainable development, democracy (民主) and peace. Today, the work of Professor Maathai and the Green Belt Movement continues to stand as living proof that small actions make big changes.
4. Why did Professor Maathai originally start the Green Belt Movement?
A. To ensure food safety. B. To create job opportunities.
C. To unite women for land rights. D. To help women overcome environmental hardships.
5. What did Professor Maathai realize after the movement started?
A. Lack of community fund. B. Strong disagreements from powerful interests.
C. Women’s absence from community decisions. D. Difficulty in growing trees in drought-hit areas.
6. Which of the following best describes the Green Belt Movement?
A. Tough but successful. B. Traditional but significant.
C. Unrecognized but sustainable. D. Limited but well-known.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Trees for a Greener World B. Green Roots to Empowerment
C. Facing Preservation Challenges D. Empowering Women through Leadership
C
Beavers are famous for building dams out of trees and branches that they cut with their powerful front teeth. The animals also use grass, stones and mud to make these structures stronger. But why do they do so?
Simply put, beavers build dams to stay safe, which is particularly challenging because of their clumsy (笨拙的) body shape and movements. “Beavers are 18 to 36 kilograms of meat with really short legs,” says fisheries biologist Chris Jordan.
This makes them easy targets for predators (捕食者). “When beavers are on land, they’re so clumsy, like big chickens walking around that any predator would love to have for a meal,” says another scientist Emily Fairfax. “But when they’re in the water, they’re almost invincible. They’re excellent swimmers and can hold their breath for 10 to 15 minutes. By building a dam, they create a pond(池塘), and that pond is their safety zone.”
These ponds are deep enough for beavers to hide from predators such as mountain lions, bears and wolves. Dams can also flood areas to bring them closer to their main food sources, which include bark and leaves from trees and other plants. Although dams protect beavers, they do not live inside them. Instead, they often live in oven-shaped lodges made of sticks, grass and other materials, in families of five on average.
Interestingly, beaver dams benefit not only their creators, but many other species as well. “Beaver dams help slow down water and keep it on the landscape longer,” says Fairfax. “This turns simple streams into thriving wetlands. The amount of food and water available there makes them ideal habitats for many different species. That’s one reason why beavers are a keystone species.”
Therefore, restoring beavers to their original habitats can help reduce the effects of climate change and benefit their ecosystems. There, their dams slow down the flow of water, and some of it is stored in the ground. This means that plant roots have access to water even during droughts, which helps to keep vegetation lush (植被繁茂). As such, the dams can bear heat. It is inspiring to see how well beavers are able to survive in a changing climate and do some of the climate change adaptation work that humans have been trying to do.
8. Why do beavers build dams according to the text?
A. To get away from heat. B. To practice swimming.
C. To make their teeth powerful. D. To escape from being attacked.
9. What does the underlined word “invincible” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

You can’t go from intern (实习生) to CEO overnight, but these tips will point you to success city.
Focus on 24
The 24 hours you are currently living in determine your level of success. You have the ability right now to make choices to drive your goals. That opportunity does not exist in yesterday or in tomorrow. Today is the only time to make progress and take necessary steps to achieve what you desire. ____12____.
Create a power list
____13____. List out the three to five things that need to get done that day to help move your day along. Completing that power list is how you identify the day as a win. The idea is that those three to five things are the 20 percent that matters and the 80 percent left is basically busy work or simply won’t move the needle like the other 20 percent will.
Never stop being curious
Curiosity is what drove all great inventions. If the Wright brothers weren’t curious about what it would feel like to escape gravity, would we have planes? Well, maybe yes — but not as soon. ____14____. “Never stop being curious about people, ideas and new innovations (创新),” said Grant Schreiber, founding editor at Real Leaders.
____15____
Reading is the easiest way to stay informed and have thoughtful conversations that help you succeed. Anything from news, a romance novel, an academic article, or even your child’s English essay will let you in on a secret you didn’t know before. Reading even on topics unrelated to your business can inspire fresh ideas for the company you run.
Don’t multitask (多任务)
Successful people are having a single-minded focus. Every time we try to do two or more things at once, we’re simply dividing up our focus and weakening all the outcomes in the process. Put your personal signature on one task and don’t move on to the next task until the first one is done. It’s a very simple strategy but it works. Multitasking is like an octopus (章鱼) on roller skates: ____16____.
A. Read widely
B. Read regularly
C. All efforts work toward a common goal
D. Lots of moving parts but going nowhere
E. Start by asking yourself what you can do now
F. It’s similar to a to-do list, but it is more focused
G. This desire for learning drives societies out of old traditions
