必修3　UNIT 8　单元三测·课时作业(一) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025·惠州模拟)Overlooking the Davis — Gant Varsity Soccer Field, a bed of overturned soil waits for further development.In a few years, this area will become a natural habitat and a playground for animals and residents.This peaceful area didn't appear naturally, but through planning and action taken by Catlin Gabel's Tiny Forest project launched by teacher Patrick Walsh. Forests typically take hundreds of years to mature, with four stages of growth.“Tiny forests flatten out time through the planting of all four layers，” Walsh explained.The end result is a fast­growing, native forest in about 20 years.Over 600 plants from 43 species will be planted in the tiny forest, the first one in Oregon. Walsh was inspired to build a tiny forest after hearing about this idea, which emerged in Japan and has taken hold in North America.He shared his vision with seniors in his class.The seniors researched tiny forests and made a proposal resulting in Clean Water Services donating 60 trees and $5,000 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.Armed with these resources, Walsh and the students started working.“Something I didn't really expect was the outpouring of students' enthusiasm.Seeing students from all grades volunteered to contribute to the ‘dirty work’ really blew me away，” Walsh said. Senior Megan Cover has been at the school since the first grade.“I'll graduate after working on this project, which is surely sad, but it's really rewarding and great to be a part of this project and to do my bit.We're creating this educational space for many young kids，” Cover said. Walsh summed up his goal of the project, which is to build a place where students can enjoy and learn about nature.“The forest will obviously not solve climate change, but it will deserve the efforts if the kids think about climate change and remember the importance of reforestation and trees when they look outside at the forest.” 1．What is special about tiny forests? A．They originated in North America. B．They are usually planted in schools. C．They contain various types of trees. D．They become mature in a shorter time. 2．What surprised Walsh in the process of planting the tiny forest? A．The abundance of native tree species. B．Public concern about the environment. C．The active participation of students. D．Support from local organizations. 3．How does Megan Cover feel about the project? A．Proud.　　　　　　　B．Regretful. C．Grateful. D．Disappointed. 4．What does Walsh want the forest to function as for the students? A．A model. B．A reminder. C．A resource. D．A witness. B (2025·雅安诊断)Josefa Marin went to New York from Mexico in 1987, supporting her daughter back home with the $140 a week she earned at a sweater factory.With that small income, she had to collect recyclables, trading in cans for five cents each. When the clothing factory closed down in the late 2000s, she became a full­time recycler, picking up cans and bottles to make ends meet. Marin's story is not unique.Millions around the world make a living from picking through waste and reselling it — a vital role that keeps waste manageable.In New York City, the administrative department collects only about 28 percent of the cans that could be recycled.Rubbish collectors keep millions of additional recyclables out of landfills every year. Yet collectors are ruled out by government policies.The United States Supreme Court in 1988 stated that household garbage is public property once it's on the street.That enables police to search rubbish for evidence, but that protection hasn't always been extended to recyclers.And in places like New York City, which is testing city­owned locked containers to hide garbage from rats, containers are made clearly inaccessible for collectors. “There's value in the waste, and we feel that value should belong to the people, not the city or the corporations，” says Ryan Castalia, director of a nonprofit recycling and community center in Brooklyn. Recognized or not, waste pickers have long been treated with disrespect.Marin recalls an occasion when someone living next to a building where she was collecting cans threw water at her.“It doesn't mean I am less of a person than anyone else because I recycle，” she says. Some governments are starting to realize that protecting the environment and humanity go hand in hand.The United Nation's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, for example, calls for an end to poverty and all the risks it brings. 5．Why does the author start the passage with Marin's story? A．To suggest waste collectors' importance. B．To reflect laid­off workers' hardship. C．To praise her devotion to her daughter. D．To show the seriousness of unemployment. 6．What can we learn about the waste mentioned in paragraph 4? A．It is always available on the street for collectors. B．It is public property no matter where it is. C．It is actually only accessible for certain groups. D．It is hidden in containers for rats. 7．What would Marin agree with? A．Business is business. B．No job is noble or humble. C．The early bird catches worms. D．One good turn deserves another. 8．What's the writing purpose of this passage? A．To argue how important it is to get rid of poverty. B．To call on governments to work hand in hand to protect the environment. C．To prove that unemployed people can make a living by collecting recyclables. D．To tell that environmental protection is closely related to preserving humanity.
