In some places, the weather has been so hot that it’s been dangerous. This extreme(极端的)weather is caused by climate change. In the northern part of the world, summer begins in late June. June 2023 was the hottest June ever recorded. From the United States, to Europe, to Africa, and to Asia, huge numbers of people are dealing with extremely high temperatures. In the US, places like Arizona, California and Texas are all facing unusually high temperatures. Europe is being hit by two heat waves in a row. Many European countries, especially Greece, Italy, and Spain, are also feeling the high heat. China is facing unbelievably high temperatures as well. The capital, Beijing, has recently seen temperatures above 40℃ . The Xinjiang area of China has set a new record by hitting 52℃. The heat is not just influencing the land. The water temperature of Florida’s south coast has gone above 32℃ . The unusually high ocean temperature can be even more harmful to sea life than to humans. Scientists have long predicted that heat waves would grow more common as a result of global warming. That’s surely part of what’s going on now. The scientists also warn that unless people start to take action, things will certainly get worse. 31. What can we know from the passage? A. Many countries are facing high temperatures. B. In 2023, the temperature in Beijing reached 52℃ . C. High temperatures can be more harmful to humans than to sea life. D. The scientists didn’t know why heat waves grew so common. 32. Which is the structure of this passage? (①: Paragraph 1, ②: Paragraph 2...) A. B. C. D. 33. What might the writer write about in the next paragraph? A. How to deal with global warming. B. Different kinds of extreme weather. C. The temperature records in the past. D. The heat that is harmful to the environment. B China is home to many amazing animals, like giant pandas, tigers, and golden monkeys. However, these animals are in danger because of hunting, pollution, and loss of their homes. We must work together to protect them. Why Wildlife Matters Animals help keep nature in balance. For example, birds spread seeds, and bees help plants grow. If animals disappear, the environment will suffer. Some species, like the Yangtze River dolphin, are already gone forever. We must act now to save others. What China Is Doing China has made new laws to stop hunting and protect animal habitats (栖息地). Nature reserves, like the ones for pandas, help animals live safely. Scientists are also breeding (繁殖) endangered animals and releasing (释放) them back into the wild. How You Can Help Everyone can do something to protect wildlife: －Do not buy goods made from endangered animals. －Follow the rules when visiting nature reserves. －Tell others about wildlife protection. －Report illegal (非法的) hunting or selling of animals. A Better Future If we act now, animals like pandas and tigers can survive. Protecting wildlife means protecting our future. Let’s work together to keep China’s nature beautiful and full of life! 34. What is the main reason why some animals in China are disappearing? A. They don’t like the weather. B. They are short of proper food. C. They want to live in other countries. D. They don’t have enough room to live in. 35. What will probably happen because of China’s wildlife protection laws? A. People can hunt if necessary. B. All animals will move to zoos. C. There may be less illegal hunting. D. Animal habitats must be enlarged(扩大). 36. How can students help protect animals? A. By keeping wild animals in zoos. B. By knowing more about wild animals. C. By drawing posters of endangered animals. D. By feeding wild animals on their favorite food. 37. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Wild animals in China are disappearing. B. Zoos are the best places for wild animals. C. China’s wildlife requires protection from everyone. D. Human activities have destroyed wild animals’ homes. C Jacques Cousteau was a man who loved the ocean deeply and often explored it on his holidays. When he was a child in France, Cousteau was weak and often sick. Doctors suggested he swim to become stronger. That started his great love for water. From then on, he would go to see the ocean for a vacation if he was free. One day, a friend gave him a pair of goggles(护目镜). These goggles were a game changer. He could finally see the wonderful world under the water clearly. At that time, the diving clothes were big and heavy. They made it hard for divers to move freely, and an air hose(软管)tied them to the boat. So Cousteau and his friend Emile Gagnan invented the Aqua Lung. It was the first tool that allowed divers to breathe underwater for a long time. With this, Cousteau was able to explore the ocean more freely. He bought a boat on vacation and changed it into a place for research and making films. He sailed around the world. He explored the cold waters of Antarctica and saw many interesting animals like penguins and whales. In Australia, he saw beautiful coral reefs and even met the strange sea dragon like a leaf. Cousteau made a lot of books and films based on his travel and exploration experiences. His TV show let people see the amazing sea animals at home. Also, he started the Cousteau Society to teach people about the ocean and how to protect it from pollution. Thanks to him, more and more people began to love and care about the ocean. 38. What does the underlined word “That” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Cousteau being weak and sick. B. Doctors’ advice of swimming. C. Cousteau getting a pair of goggles. D. Cousteau seeing the underwater world. 39. Why did Cousteau and his friend invent the Aqua Lung? A. To make money. B. To become famous. C. Because the diving suits were expensive. D. Because the old suits limited movement and breath. 40. What can we infer from the text? A. The Cousteau Society did little. B. Cousteau’s TV show wasn’t popular. C. Cousteau explored only near France. D. Without the Aqua Lung, free ocean exploration was hard. 41. Which is the best structure of this text? A. ①②③/④⑤ B. ①/②③④/⑤ C. ①②/③④⑤ D. ①②/③④/⑤ D Have you ever seen this flower? The flower is really big. Its color is red. Look closely, and you can find that it has teeth. It is called Rafflesia. It is the world’s biggest flower. You can see it in the documentary(纪录片)The Green Planet. The Green Planet is a new documentary from BBC. It shows us the world of plants. To find different plants from the world, the film workers travelled from the rainforest to some snowy places. They also climbed mountains and walked into deserts. To find plants in the water, they even jumped into rivers. Those film workers travelled to twenty-seven countries and it took them about four years to finish the documentary. The documentary opens our eyes to the natural world, and it shares an important message with us. Plants are really very important in nature. They help us in many ways, such as making oxygen, cleaning the air and giving us food. They are our best friends. We shouldn’t damage them. We need to protect them. Always remember, what we do in the next 20 years will decide the future of plants in the world. 42. How does the writer begin the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By asking a question. C. By listing numbers. D. By showing a saying. 43. What is Rafflesia? A. The name of a documentary. B. The name of a flower. C. The name of a man. D. The name of a place. 44. What do we know about the documentary? A. It is about the world of animals. B. Its film workers travelled to 27 countries just for fun. C. Its film workers worked hard to find plants. D. It makes us know little about the natural world. 45. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Our World B. Different Plants C. A New Documentary D.

Pandas are no longer in danger. They are on the road of recovery(恢复). Back in the 1980s, there were as few as 1,114 pandas in China. But the most recent survey in 2014 showed that there were over 1,864 pandas live in the wild. Since 1981, the Chinese government has been working with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to save the world’s most famous bears and their homes. They set up nature parks which help protect nearly 1,300 wild pandas by giving them space to live and bamboo to eat. But the bamboo forests are getting smaller, so pandas are still losing their homes. The WWF warned that climate change could also destroy more than 35% of the animals’ homes, so there won’t enough places to live for them in the next years. The future for pandas in the long term is not yet clear. But one thing is for sure: we must do more efforts to protect our lovely pandas. 81.

June 2023 was the hottest June ever recorded. From the United States, to Europe, to Africa, and to Asia, huge numbers of people are dealing with extremely high temperatures. In the US, places like Arizona, California and Texas are all facing unusually high temperatures. Europe is being hit by two heat waves in a row. Many European countries, especially Greece, Italy, and Spain, are also feeling the high heat. China is facing unbelievably high temperatures as well. The capital, Beijing, has recently seen temperatures above 40℃ . The Xinjiang area of China has set a new record by hitting 52℃. The heat is not just influencing the land. The water temperature of Florida’s south coast has gone above 32℃ . The unusually high ocean temperature can be even more harmful to sea life than to humans.

We must act now to save others. What China Is Doing China has made new laws to stop hunting and protect animal habitats (栖息地). Nature reserves, like the ones for pandas, help animals live safely. Scientists are also breeding (繁殖) endangered animals and releasing (释放) them back into the wild. How You Can Help Everyone can do something to protect wildlife: －Do not buy goods made from endangered animals. －Follow the rules when visiting nature reserves. －Tell others about wildlife protection. －Report illegal (非法的) hunting or selling of animals. A Better Future If we act now, animals like pandas and tigers can survive. Protecting wildlife means protecting our future. Let’s work together to keep China’s nature beautiful and full of life! 34.

When he was a child in France, Cousteau was weak and often sick. Doctors suggested he swim to become stronger. That started his great love for water. From then on, he would go to see the ocean for a vacation if he was free. One day, a friend gave him a pair of goggles(护目镜). These goggles were a game changer. He could finally see the wonderful world under the water clearly. At that time, the diving clothes were big and heavy. They made it hard for divers to move freely, and an air hose(软管)tied them to the boat. So Cousteau and his friend Emile Gagnan invented the Aqua Lung. It was the first tool that allowed divers to breathe underwater for a long time. With this, Cousteau was able to explore the ocean more freely. He bought a boat on vacation and changed it into a place for research and making films. He sailed around the world. He explored the cold waters of Antarctica and saw many interesting animals like penguins and whales. In Australia, he saw beautiful coral reefs and even met the strange sea dragon like a leaf. Cousteau made a lot of books and films based on his travel and exploration experiences. His TV show let people see the amazing sea animals at home. Also, he started the Cousteau Society to teach people about the ocean and how to protect it from pollution. Thanks to him, more and more people began to love and care about the ocean. 38. What does the underlined word “That” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Cousteau being weak and sick. B. Doctors’ advice of swimming. C. Cousteau getting a pair of goggles. D. Cousteau seeing the underwater world. 39. Why did Cousteau and his friend invent the Aqua Lung? A. To make money. B. To become famous. C. Because the diving suits were expensive. D.

Cousteau explored only near France. D. Without the Aqua Lung, free ocean exploration was hard. 41. Which is the best structure of this text? A. ①②③/④⑤ B. ①/②③④/⑤ C. ①②/③④⑤ D. ①②/③④/⑤ 【答案】38. B 39. D 40. D 41. C 【语篇导读】本文主要讲述了雅克·库斯托从小热爱海洋，并为探索海洋及保护海洋做贡献。 38. 词义猜测题。根据“Doctors suggested he swim to become stronger.

They set up nature parks which help protect nearly 1,300 wild pandas by giving them space to live and bamboo to eat. But the bamboo forests are getting smaller, so pandas are still losing their homes. The WWF warned that climate change could also destroy more than 35% of the animals’ homes, so there won’t enough places to live for them in the next years.
