Her body looked like a sausage. Her hair was too thin to 36 her body. Her eyes always seemed surprised, and her tail was so short that it looked like a rat's tail. She looked so strange that her 37 didn't want her any more. She was brought to the centre. 38 I thought Minnie was kind and sweet. No one should laugh at her strange looking. So I gave Minnie a good bath and 39 her in the newspaper:“Funny-looking dog, kind and sweet, needs a loving 40 .” Later, a boy called me, but I warned him that Minnie was 41 . However, the boy told me that his grandfather's sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted to 42 Minnie very much. Hearing these words, I said that they could take Minnie away. I combed(梳) her hair, and gave her a good bath. Then we waited for them to arrive. At last, an old car stopped in front of the pet rescue centre. Two kids 43 to the door. They put Minnie into their arms and rushed out to their grandfather 44 was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction(反应). Inside the car, the grandfather put Minnie in his arms and 45 her soft hair. She looked very relaxed and happy. “She's perfect, and I like her!” the old man said. I was 46 that Minnie had found a good owner. Just at that time, I saw that the grandfather's 47 were a milky white colour— he was blind. After that summer vacation, I missed Minnie so much.

These days, keeping otters as pets is getting popular in Japan and Indonesia. In fact, wild otters are facing problems—they have long been hunted(猎杀) for their coats; in some places, fishermen have been killing otters to stop them from eating fish; and now, the online pet trade has become another big problem for them. _______________ The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics was a great success. China has kept the promise to hold a green Olympics. Many green actions made it possible, like providing environmentally friendly smart beds, using new energy cars,supporting sporting places with 100% clean energy and reusing rain and snow water. Save Wetlands An important meeting on wetlands kicked off on Saturday in Wuhan, China. Wetlands are a natural water-holding system that can make polluted water clean and prevent floods(防洪). The water is home to many kinds of animals. Birds use wetlands seasonally during their migration(迁徙). Now more than half of the world's wetlands have disappeared since the beginning of the 20th century. If this goes on, more plant and animal species will surely die out. Hanna from Wuhan Post ( )51. All the news above has to do with . A. the environment B. sport C. science D. education ( )52. We can NOT know that otters . A. live on fish B. are killed for their teeth C. are in a difficult situation D. are popular pets in some countries ( )53. What would be the best heading for the second piece of news? A. A Shared Future B. Great Sports Games C. Green and Successful Olympics D. Environmentally Friendly Actions ( )54. We can learn that . A. birds use wetlands all year around B. wetlands are man-made lake system C. Wuhan held an important meeting on wetlands D. some fishermen want to have more otters by killing fish ( )55. Hanna from Wuhan Post wants readers to . A. keep otters as pets B. visit wetlands in Wuhan C. compete in the Olympic Games D. pay more attention to the environment B One night in December 2011,a bear came into the city of Vancouver in Canada. It walked through the streets, past houses, shops and offices until it found some food in bins outside a restaurant and started eating. In the morning, someone saw the bear and called the police. They came with a vet from the city zoo, put the bear in a lorry and took it back to the mountains. Luckily, the bear was safe, but what happens in other countries when big animals come into cities? In Cape Town, South Africa, baboons(狒狒) enter the city when they are hungry. They go into gardens and eat fruit from trees, or into houses and take food from cupboards(碗橱) and fridges.Baboons are strong animals and they can scare people. But the city can be dangerous for baboons too. Sometimes, they are killed in traffic accidents. Human food is very bad for their teeth because it has a lot of sugar. Now, there are baboon monitors(监督员) working in Cape Town to return the animals to the countryside. In Berlin, pigs sometimes come into the city to look for food. They eat flowers and plants from parks and gardens, and cause accidents in the streets. Some people like the pigs and they give them food and water to drink. Other people do not like the pigs and want the government and police to stop them. In Moscow, there are 35,000 wild dogs. They live in parks, old houses, markets and train stations.Many people give them food and water. Some make small houses for the dogs in their gardens. This helps them in winter, when the temperature is-10℃ and there is a lot of snow and ice. In some cities, you can see birds, insects, mice and squirrels every day. But sometimes, it is dangerous when big animals come from the countryside to find food. We need some good ideas to stop animals coming into the city without hurting them. ( )56. Why do big animals go into cities according to the passage? A. Because they are hungry. B. Because they are homeless. C. Because they are lost. D. Because they like being with humans. ( )57. Why should we stop animals from entering cities? A. Because they often kill people in the streets. B. Because they eat too much food in people's gardens. C. Because they may harm other animals in the city. D. Because they may cause trouble and endanger people's lives. ( )58. What does the writer believe people should do? A. Send animals back to their owners. B. Kill those dangerous animals in cities. C. Help big animals stay away from cities. D. Build enough houses for animals in cities. ( )59. Which of the following is TRUE about the big animals which come into cities? A. Bears in Vancouver are kept in the city zoo. B. Baboons are taken back to the wild. C. Pigs are always well treated in Berlin. D. Wild dogs cause many problems in Moscow. ( )60. What's the passage mainly about? A. Problems caused by big animals in cities. B. Living alongside wild animals in cities. C. How wild animals are treated in different cities. D. How to keep big animals away from cities. C Elephants are the largest land animals. There are two kinds of elephants in Africa. The African bush elephant is bigger and more common. The African forest elephant is smaller and much rarer(稀罕的). ★ . Yet the African forest elephant is in greater danger. People have been taking over their homes in rainforests. They've cut down trees to make farms and houses. And they kill the elephants for their tusks too. Their population is falling and there are fewer than 150,000 left in the wild. Yet there is good news. People are trying to protect them. Today, most African forest elephants' homes are in Gabon, an African country. People in Gabon are now working to help the elephants. How? There are a few ways. The government plans to limit the number of trees people can cut down. This would protect the elephants' homes. Workers are also building fences around the country's national parks. That will prevent the elephants from going to nearby farms— where they might get killed by the farmers. Leaders in Gabon are also supporting tourism. That means getting people to visit Gabon to see elephants.This can create new jobs and bring money into the country. More importantly, it can show that elephants are more valuable when they are alive. It is necessary to save Africa's elephants. And it's not just because they' re beautiful. They also play a key role in keeping the forests healthy and helping our planet. So, protecting the elephants means protecting people too. In other words, helping the elephants also means helping us. ( )61. Compared with the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant . A. is easier to find B. has more homes C. is smaller in size D. has a larger population ( )62. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. Each kind of African elephant is endangered B. Each kind of African elephant is bigger and bigger C. People didn't realize the African bush elephant is endangered D. People come to realize the African forest elephant is endangered ( )63. What does the underlined word“That” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Supporting tourism. B. Cutting down trees. C. Opening national parks. D. Building fences. ( )64. The writer wrote the passage to . A. show the value of African elephants B. introduce different kinds of African elephants C. call on people to save the African forest elephant D. explain some rules of protecting the African forest elephant ( )65. Which would be the best theme picture of the passage? 五、词与短语填空(共5 小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，用下面方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、语意和逻辑上正确。(提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的) cause/get off/understand/get into/provide/difference/change Animals and plants are important parts of our life. They 66 us with many things like food, medicine,and so on. However, many animals and plants 67 trouble because of human activities. So it is important to give them enough protection. One way is to make laws(法规) against catching or selling wild animals.Another way is to help people to 68 the importance of nature. Also, we can 69 our lifestyles. For example, we can go out by bike instead of by car. Even though these actions are small, they can make a big 70 to the whole world. 六、综合填空(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，根据上下文或括号内单词等提示，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的适当形式。 Plants, more than just pretty to look at, also give us fruits, vegetables and food. Some plants even provide materials for medicine or building things. But do you know that plants can do something even more 71 (amaze)? They can make our homes, schools and workplaces much 72 (healthy). We spend a large part of our day indoors. The air quality inside buildings is often very poor and can make us feel sick, 73 (cause) sore eyes and throats, and even making it hard for us to breathe. When the air inside buildings 74 (get) really bad, people even call them“sick buildings”. Luckily, plants, like nature's 75 (hero), have a magic power fighting against bad air. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide(CO₂) and breathe out oxygen(O₂) which we humans need to live. They can also add moisture(湿气) to the air if it's too dry, making it more comfortable for us 76 (breathe). Besides, scientists have discovered that plants have the ability to take 77 harmful chemicals, making the air around us safer to breathe. They set up a 78 (complete) closed building called“bio-home” for experiments. 79 they added plants, the air inside was full of chemicals. But after they added plants,the air got much cleaner. To make the air inside even better, the scientists used different kinds of plants.After a while, the building wasn't a“sick building” any more. People could go inside without feeling unwell. So you see, 80 fantastic plants are! Next time you see a plant, remember all the amazing things it can do for us! 七、书面表达(共1大题，满分20分) 东北虎(Siberian tiger)是人们在动物园最喜欢观看的动物之一。现在世界上仅存400只左右的东北虎，并且它们的数量仍在减少。假设你是李明，请根据以下内容提示，以“拯救东北虎”为主题，给报社写一篇关于保护东北虎的倡议书。 内容提示： Why is the Siberian tiger popular in the zoo?

The forest was a home for the birds, other animals and many different plants. It was also a perfect place for him to study and get to know nature. One day, he heard that the local government would cut down all the trees in the forest to build houses. He was very worried and he decided to do something. After he spent some time doing research about the area, Andrew wrote letters to the local government and TV reporters. Each day after school, he asked his neighbours for help by going door to door. In only one month, about 260 families supported him. In the end, his action worked and the local government gave up their plan.

I think the Siberian tiger is one of the most popular animals that people like to see in the zoo. The reason is that they are strong and beautiful. But nowadays there are only 400 or so Siberian tigers in the world, and the number of them is decreasing. Why? Because many forests are cut down and Siberian tigers have no places to live in. In order to protect them, we should build more nature reserves. Besides, we must make laws to stop people from hunting them. Let's try our best to save the strong and beautiful tigers.
