Is it the same as a rainforest? Actually, it’s a very special kind of forest in cloudy mountains. There, clouds brush through trees and wet their leaves. Rain falls almost every day. Hundreds of mosses (苔藓) grow and cover everything like a soft, green coat. Plants of cloud forests live in an unusual way. They grow on the branches of trees instead of on the ground. The air is very damp, so plants can get all the water they need from the fog and rain. They live on the high parts of trees so that they can get more light to be stronger. There are many kinds of special animals in cloud forests. For example, tree kangaroos live in trees like monkeys. They use their long tails to balance just as monkeys do. Frogs have suckers (吸盘) on their toes so they can climb up trees and cross leaves easily. Many other special animals are waiting for us to discover, aren’t they? Cloud forests are important to people. They give us healthy food crops, such as wild beans, tomatoes, potatoes and strawberries. Besides, they offer new medicine to treat cancer. Unluckily, the beautiful forests are in danger now. Why? Firstly, the climate is getting warmer, but plants and animals in cloud forests like to live where it’s cool. It’s difficult for them to find a suitable place to live in. Secondly, people cut down many trees to plant crops or feed cows. The animals are losing their homes. Once cloud forests are gone, there must be a huge loss to humans. Save the cloud forests before it’s too late! 1．What kind of weather can be expected in a cloud forest? A．It rains almost every day.

Beginning from the Andes Mountains in Peru, the Amazon runs 4,000 miles eastward through Colombia and Brazil to the Atlantic Ocean. The river is usually about one to six miles wide. During the rainy season, it can be as much as 20 miles wide in some areas. It is also one of the deepest rivers, reaching 300 feet deep in a number of areas.

However, the Badain Jaran Desert is different. There’s a strong connection between local people and the natural environment there. Badain Jaran Desert is in Inner Mongolia. It’s China’s second-largest moving desert. Animals, especially camels (骆驼), live peacefully with humans in this place. On July 26, 2024, Badain Jaran Desert; Towers of Sand and Lakes was finally added to the World Heritage (遗产) List. Zhang Jun worked in Bayin Bo Village, Inner Mongolia. In 1956, Zhang’s grandfather came to the village and lived there. At that time, he usually went out and looked after the animals on foot. When Zhang’s father was born in 1960, riding camels was the chief way to travel. But now, people can also use off-road vehicles (越野车) to travel across the desert. Saihan, a man from Badain Jaran Village, is an experienced farmer. When he was little, going across the desert on a camel took about 15 days. “Nowadays, travel condition is better,” he said. ________ During the busy tourist season, Saihan works as a guide, and he can get 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year. The local government is trying to get tourists to come while also protecting the environment. This plan has worked well, and tourists are paying more and more attention to protecting the environment.

Let’s get closer to the Dead Sea and learn more about it. The Dead Sea is located in southwest Asia. It is about 50 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide at its widest point. It sits at about 430 meters below sea level (海平面), making it the lowest point on Earth’s land. What’s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake with a salt concentration (含盐度) of more than 30 percent, which is about eight times saltier than typical seawater. This makes it one of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth. The Dead Sea stays so salty because of its special natural conditions. Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount of fresh water flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the fresh water to evaporate (蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. For these reasons, it is also known as the Salt Sea. If you were to swim in the Dead Sea, you wouldn’t see any sea life—no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to live there. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea. However, don’t let the name or not having any sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys (救生圈). In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the lakeside, you’ll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or magazines. 1．What do we know about the Dead Sea? A．It is the largest place in Asia. B．It is the widest sea in the world. C．It is the deepest point in America. D．It is the lowest lake on Earth’s land. 2．What makes the Dead Sea so salty? A．A lot of seawater runs into it. B．Human activities improve the salt levels. C．Little rain falls and fresh water evaporates quickly. D．The high temperature stops the water from freezing. 3．Why do people call it the Dead Sea? A．Because they cannot swim in it. B．Because it has something dangerous. C．Because it has low salt concentration. D．Because no plants or animals can live in it. 4．What does the underlined word “float” probably mean? A．下沉 B．漂浮 C．潜水 D．游泳 5．What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A．People feel scared when swimming in the Dead Sea. B．The Dead Sea is dangerous for people who can’t swim. C．If people can’t swim, they’ll still be safe in the Dead Sea. D．A life buoy is necessary when swimming in the Dead Sea. Passage 3 When it comes to the Himalayas (喜马拉雅山), what do you have in your mind? High mountains? White snow? Both answers are right, but in the mountains, there is a place called the Valley (山谷) of Flowers and you can see a very different situation there. It is home to pretty flowers, wild plants and endangered animals. The Valley of Flowers is in Uttarakhand, one state in the north of India. It is more than 87.5 square kilometers. There are flowers everywhere. However, these flowers are not quite the same as what we often see. They grow in high places in the mountains. There are hundreds of different kinds of flowers in this valley. They bloom (开花) between June and September. When the flowers bloom, the valley looks like a magical world with different colors. There are also a lot of wild plants, such as trees and grass, in the Valley of Flowers. They are special. Some of them are hard to find anywhere else in the world! What’s more, some endangered animals live in the valley, like snow leopards (雪豹). Now people have turned the Valley of Flowers into a national park. Visitors can’t build anything or live there. They can’t even stay there for too long at a time. They can only stay there for one day. It’s probably not long enough for visitors to see all the real beauty there. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking questions. B．By telling a story. C．By giving an example. D．By showing some numbers. 2．What can we see in the Valley of Flowers? A．Trees, grass and elephants. B．Flowers, trees and whales. C．Flowers, trees and monkeys. D．Flowers, grass and snow leopards. 3．What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．The trees. B．The animals. C．The flowers. D．The wild plants. 4．What is the structure of the passage? (Paragraph 1=①…) A．①/②③④ B．①/②③/④ C．①/②/③④ D．①/②/③/④ 5．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Tells the facts about the Valley of Flowers. B．Describes the beautiful scene of the Himalayas. C．Asks more people to visit the Valley of Flowers. D．Explains the problems of some national parks in India. Passage 4 It is snowing today.

You may say that it is Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls is really beautiful, but the most highest in the world is Angel Falls. It is deep in the jungles (丛林) of Venezuela (委内瑞拉). Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It’s very hard to get there. If you go there on foot, you have to travel for weeks through thick jungles. If you go by plane from Caracas, a city on the southern coast, it will take about four hours. Angel Falls was found by accident. This is one of the most interesting facts about it. It was named after an American pilot. His name was Jimmy Angel. In 1937, his plane crashed (坠毁) near the top of the falls. That’s how he found it. Angel Falls drops nearly a kilometer from the top of the mountain. The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds. The height of the falls is very great. By the time the water reaches the ground, it has already turned into fog (雾). 1．Why have few people seen Angel Falls? 2．How long will you spend getting there by air from Caracas? 3．Who found Angel Fall? 4．把文中划线句子翻译成汉语。 5．请给短文拟一个合适的英文题目。 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 / 17 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 6 Natural wonders of the world 自然景观 话题阅读精练 版块 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文阅读 Passage A 阅读理解 说明文 282 本文主要介绍了云雾林的相关情况，包括其气候、动植物以及面临的危险等。 Passage B 阅读理解 说明文 148 本文主要介绍了中国四大高原的基本情况。 真题示例 Passage1 阅读理解 说明文 291 本文主要聚焦长江国家文化公园的建设意义与实施成效，强调其对保护长江文化、增强文化自信及促进区域发展的多重价值。 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 212 本文主要介绍了世界第二长河——亚马逊河。 模拟演练 Passage1 阅读理解 说明文 265 本文主要介绍了巴丹吉林沙漠与其他沙漠的不同之处。 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 311 本文介绍了死海（Dead Sea）的地理特征和独特之处。 Passage3 阅读理解 说明文 236 本文主要介绍了喜马拉雅山脉中的“花谷”及其独特的自然景观、珍稀动植物，以及该地区作为国家公园的保护措施。 Passage4 完型填空 记叙文 252 本文主要讲述了作者对雪的感想，通过描述一场雪表达了对雪的热爱。 Passage5 任务阅读 说明文 183 本文介绍了世界上最高的瀑布。 时文阅读 话题谚语小知识 · The landscape in Guilin is the best in the world.—— 桂林山水甲天下。 · Huangshan is known throughout the world for its pines, stones, clouds and hot spring.—— 黄山向来以奇松、怪石、云海、温泉著称于世。 · There are four seasons in a day, ten miles in different days.—— 一天有四季，十里不同天。 · Nature is our mother.—— 大自然是我们的母亲。 · The sky is the part of creation in which nature has done for the sake of pleasing man.—— 天空是大自然为取悦人类而创造的一部分。 · One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.—— 一草一木总关情。 · All things are artificial, for nature is the art of god.—— 一切都是人造的，因为大自然是上帝的艺术。 · Nature is new every morning.—— 大自然每天都是新的。 · The mountains are too large for a day's visit, so we will stay here for one night.—— 这座山太大了，一天游览不完，所以我们要在这里住一晚。 · From the top of the mountain, we can have a fine view of the lake.—— 从山顶可以把湖的美丽景色尽收眼底。 时文阅读 Passage 1（介绍了云雾林） Have you heard of a cloud forest?

The animals are losing their homes.”可知，动物们因为人们砍伐树木而失去家园。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。根据“Save the cloud forests before it’s too late!”可知，本文的主要目的是呼吁拯救云雾林。故选A。 译文 你听说过云雾林吗？它和雨林一样吗？实际上，它是云雾缭绕的山区里一种非常特殊的森林。在那里，云雾穿梭于林间，打湿树叶。几乎每天都会下雨。成百上千种苔藓生长着，像一件柔软的绿色外衣般覆盖着万物。 云雾林的植物生长方式很特别。它们长在树枝上，而不是地面上。空气非常潮湿，所以植物能从雾气和雨水里获得所需的全部水分。它们生长在树的高处，这样就能获得更多光照，从而长得更茁壮。 云雾林里有许多种特殊的动物。比如，树袋鼠像猴子一样生活在树上。它们和猴子一样，用长长的尾巴来保持平衡。青蛙的脚趾上有吸盘，这样它们就能轻松地爬上树、穿过树叶。还有许多其他特殊的动物正等着我们去发现呢，不是吗？ 云雾林对人类很重要。它们为我们提供健康的粮食作物，比如野豆、西红柿、土豆和草莓。此外，它们还能提供治疗癌症的新药。不幸的是，这片美丽的森林现在正处于危险之中。为什么呢？首先，气候越来越暖和，但云雾林里的动植物喜欢生活在凉爽的地方。它们很难找到合适的栖息地。其次，人们砍伐了许多树木来种植庄稼或喂养奶牛。动物们正在失去它们的家园。 一旦云雾林消失，对人类而言必定是巨大的损失。趁还来得及，保护云雾林吧！ Passage 2（中国四大高原的基本情况） Four Major Plateaus (四大高原) in China Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the largest plateau in China and the highest plateau in the world.

During the rainy season, it can be as much as 20 miles wide in some areas. It is also one of the deepest rivers, reaching 300 feet deep in a number of areas. The river is also important because it runs through the Amazon rain forest. Home to some of the planet’s most amazing and unusual binds, fish, insects, and animals, the Amazon rain forest has the most plant and animal species (种类) in the world. Brightly colored parrots, monkeys, and frogs live here. In the water, you’ll find pink dolphins. Some of the plants and trees in the rain forest have been used as medicines for thousands of years. The river became known as the Amazon during the mid-1500s. A Spanish (西班牙人) saw some women fighters along its lower banks and named the river after them.

However, the Badain Jaran Desert is different. There’s a strong connection between local people and the natural environment there. Badain Jaran Desert is in Inner Mongolia. It’s China’s second-largest moving desert. Animals, especially camels (骆驼), live peacefully with humans in this place. On July 26, 2024, Badain Jaran Desert; Towers of Sand and Lakes was finally added to the World Heritage (遗产) List. Zhang Jun worked in Bayin Bo Village, Inner Mongolia. In 1956, Zhang’s grandfather came to the village and lived there. At that time, he usually went out and looked after the animals on foot. When Zhang’s father was born in 1960, riding camels was the chief way to travel. But now, people can also use off-road vehicles (越野车) to travel across the desert. Saihan, a man from Badain Jaran Village, is an experienced farmer. When he was little, going across the desert on a camel took about 15 days. “Nowadays, travel condition is better,” he said. ________ During the busy tourist season, Saihan works as a guide, and he can get 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year. The local government is trying to get tourists to come while also protecting the environment. This plan has worked well, and tourists are paying more and more attention to protecting the environment. All waste is carefully collected and dealt with in the town. There is a strong promise to take care of the environment in the desert. 1．What is special about the Badain Jaran Desert compared to other deserts? A．It has the most camels. B．It has a strong connection between local people and the natural environment. C．It is the hottest desert.

B．The local people are so kind that more tourists come to the desert. C．More tourists come to visit the beautiful sights of the desert. D．Better travel condition has allowed more tourists to visit the desert. 4．What is the best title (题目) for the passage? A．Animals and Humans in Badain Jaran Desert B．The Traffic in Badain Jaran Desert C．Badain Jaran Desert—A Different Desert in China D．To be a Guide in Badain Jaran Desert 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了巴丹吉林沙漠与其他沙漠的不同之处。 1．细节理解题。根据“However, the Badain Jaran Desert is different. There’s a strong connection between local people and the natural environment.”可知，与其他沙漠不同之处在于人与自然的紧密联系。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“When Zhang’s father was born in 1960, riding camels was the chief way to travel.”可知，当张的父亲1960年出生时，骑骆驼是主要的旅行方式。因此划线词指的是“主要的”，与“Main”同义。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“Nowadays, travel condition is better”以及“During the busy tourist season, Saihan works as a guide, and he can get 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year.”可知，前一句强调旅行条件改善，后文提到赛汗因旅游旺季当导游获得收入。因此空格需填旅行条件改善带来的结果，因此D“更好的旅游条件使更多的游客参观沙漠”符合语境，故选D。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了巴丹吉林沙漠与其他沙漠的不同之处，选项C为最佳标题。故选C。 Passage 2 When you first hear about the Dead Sea, it might sound scary, but the truth is quite different. Let’s get closer to the Dead Sea and learn more about it. The Dead Sea is located in southwest Asia. It is about 50 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide at its widest point. It sits at about 430 meters below sea level (海平面), making it the lowest point on Earth’s land. What’s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake with a salt concentration (含盐度) of more than 30 percent, which is about eight times saltier than typical seawater. This makes it one of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth. The Dead Sea stays so salty because of its special natural conditions. Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount of fresh water flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the fresh water to evaporate (蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. For these reasons, it is also known as the Salt Sea. If you were to swim in the Dead Sea, you wouldn’t see any sea life—no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to live there. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea. However, don’t let the name or not having any sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys (救生圈). In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the lakeside, you’ll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or magazines. 1．What do we know about the Dead Sea? A．It is the largest place in Asia. B．It is the widest sea in the world. C．It is the deepest point in America. D．It is the lowest lake on Earth’s land. 2．What makes the Dead Sea so salty? A．A lot of seawater runs into it. B．Human activities improve the salt levels. C．Little rain falls and fresh water evaporates quickly. D．The high temperature stops the water from freezing. 3．Why do people call it the Dead Sea? A．Because they cannot swim in it. B．Because it has something dangerous. C．Because it has low salt concentration. D．Because no plants or animals can live in it. 4．What does the underlined word “float” probably mean? A．下沉 B．漂浮 C．潜水 D．游泳 5．What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A．People feel scared when swimming in the Dead Sea. B．The Dead Sea is dangerous for people who can’t swim. C．If people can’t swim, they’ll still be safe in the Dead Sea. D．A life buoy is necessary when swimming in the Dead Sea. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文介绍了死海（Dead Sea）的地理特征和独特之处。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“It sits at about 430 meters below sea level… making it the lowest point on Earth’s land”以及“It’s a lake with a salt concentration…”可知，死海是地球陆地最低点，且第三段明确提到它是“a lake”，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“it receives very little rainfall… fresh water evaporates quickly”可知，降水少、淡水蒸发快导致盐分浓缩，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段“The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to live there. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea”可知，高盐浓度使得动植物无法在那里生存。这就是为什么它被称为死海的原因。故选D。 4．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“without the need for life buoys”和“people floating in the water, reading books”可知，高盐度使人无需救生圈即可“漂浮”，故选B。 5．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die… allows anyone to float well”可推断，即使不会游泳，因浮力大仍安全，故选C。 Passage 3 When it comes to the Himalayas (喜马拉雅山), what do you have in your mind? High mountains? White snow? Both answers are right, but in the mountains, there is a place called the Valley (山谷) of Flowers and you can see a very different situation there. It is home to pretty flowers, wild plants and endangered animals. The Valley of Flowers is in Uttarakhand, one state in the north of India. It is more than 87.5 square kilometers. There are flowers everywhere. However, these flowers are not quite the same as what we often see. They grow in high places in the mountains. There are hundreds of different kinds of flowers in this valley. They bloom (开花) between June and September. When the flowers bloom, the valley looks like a magical world with different colors. There are also a lot of wild plants, such as trees and grass, in the Valley of Flowers. They are special. Some of them are hard to find anywhere else in the world! What’s more, some endangered animals live in the valley, like snow leopards (雪豹). Now people have turned the Valley of Flowers into a national park. Visitors can’t build anything or live there. They can’t even stay there for too long at a time. They can only stay there for one day. It’s probably not long enough for visitors to see all the real beauty there. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking questions. B．By telling a story. C．By giving an example. D．By showing some numbers. 2．What can we see in the Valley of Flowers? A．Trees, grass and elephants. B．Flowers, trees and whales. C．Flowers, trees and monkeys. D．Flowers, grass and snow leopards. 3．What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．The trees. B．The animals. C．The flowers. D．The wild plants. 4．What is the structure of the passage? (Paragraph 1=①…) A．①/②③④ B．①/②③/④ C．①/②/③④ D．①/②/③/④ 5．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Tells the facts about the Valley of Flowers. B．Describes the beautiful scene of the Himalayas. C．Asks more people to visit the Valley of Flowers. D．Explains the problems of some national parks in India. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了喜马拉雅山脉中的“花谷”及其独特的自然景观、珍稀动植物，以及该地区作为国家公园的保护措施。 1．推理判断题。根据“When it comes to the Himalayas (喜马拉雅山), what do you have in your mind? High mountains? White snow?”可知，作者以提问方式开篇。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“There are hundreds of different kinds of flowers in this valley”；“There are also a lot of wild plants…What’s more, some endangered animals live in the valley, like snow leopards (雪豹).”可知，有花、野生植物和雪豹等濒危动物。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据“There are also a lot of wild plants, such as trees and grass, in the Valley of Flowers. They are special. Some of them are hard to find anywhere else in the world!”可知，还有许多野生植物，其中一些很难在其他地方找到，所以划线部分指代的是“wild plants”。故选D。 4．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引入主题，第二段和第三段分别描述花谷的景色和动植物，第四段说明保护措施。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。全文围绕花谷的自然特征和保护措施等展开，A项最全面。故选A。 Passage 4 It is snowing today.

You may say that it is Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls is really beautiful, but the most highest in the world is Angel Falls. It is deep in the jungles (丛林) of Venezuela (委内瑞拉). Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It’s very hard to get there. If you go there on foot, you have to travel for weeks through thick jungles. If you go by plane from Caracas, a city on the southern coast, it will take about four hours. Angel Falls was found by accident. This is one of the most interesting facts about it. It was named after an American pilot. His name was Jimmy Angel. In 1937, his plane crashed (坠毁) near the top of the falls. That’s how he found it. Angel Falls drops nearly a kilometer from the top of the mountain. The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds. The height of the falls is very great. By the time the water reaches the ground, it has already turned into fog (雾). 1．Why have few people seen Angel Falls? 2．How long will you spend getting there by air from Caracas? 3．Who found Angel Fall? 4．把文中划线句子翻译成汉语。 5．请给短文拟一个合适的英文题目。 【答案】1．Because it’s very hard to get there. 2．About four hours. 3．An American pilot named Jimmy Angel found it./Jimmy Angel./An American pilot. 4．这是关于它最有趣的事实之一。 5．Angel Falls/the World’s Highest Waterfall/the World’s Highest Waterfall—Angel Falls. 【导语】本文介绍了世界上最高的瀑布。 1．根据“Few people have ever seen Angel Falls.
