Yu Guanbin, a blind man from Shenzhen, showed us the new changes to the sidewalks for the blind in his city. Yu unluckily became blind over 10 years ago. At that time, it was not easy for him to go outside. As there were no sidewalks for the blind in many places across the city, Yu easily get lost. He had to stay at home as much as possible. “However, things have changed a lot recently. Most roads in the city now have sidewalks for the blind. I go to work on foot every day. It only takes me15 minutes. I can also walk to a nearby bread shop to buy breakfast and take the underground to my friends’ home on weekends,” said Yu. What’s more, the new sidewalks are more user-friendly. For example, the sidewalks are 30 centimeters to 50 centimeters away from the green plants along the roads. “Such careful design makes us feel safer while we walk,” Yu said. “On my way to the office, a new manhole cover (井盖) is also put into use. The sidewalk can lie over the manhole cover, so we don’t need to make a turn like before.” Now, most roads have sidewalks for the blind. However, there are still some problems. Some people misuse the sidewalks by leaving their cars there. Also, blind people need something that can make sound at traffic lights to help them across the roads. Yu hopes to see more great changes in the future. 11．Why does the writer ask a question in the first paragraph? A．To explain the fact. B．To lead in the topic. C．To provide an example.

They can’t talk. They can’t walk. And they can’t think like us. Or can they? A new TV show, The Green Planet, gives us a new look at plants. Shown on Jan.10th on Bilibili, it uncovers (揭示) the wonderful way that plants behave (表现). Plants compete against each other to live. Each plant has its own ways of protecting itself. In the rainforest, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “war field” in the show as only two percent of the sunlight gets through it. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But they are caught up in a vine (藤本植物) that tries to get a ride. Finally, they are both over-taken (超过) by a fast-growing tree. As the tree has smooth hairs on its leaves, the vine can’t get a hold. Similarly, some trees try to protect themselves in other ways. Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, the roots of Euphrates poplar (胡杨) are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share it with others through the roots. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) as a way to “talk” to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell nearby plants about it. How amazing the plants are! The TV show not only lets us marvel (惊叹) at the magic plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the needs of all life, including ourselves. We depend on them for every mouth of food that we eat and the air we breathe.” said David Attenborough, host of the show. It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants. 16．What is the show The Green Planet mainly about? A．Why plants can’t talk and think. B．Where wonderful plants are. C．How people change the plants. D．What great behaviors of plants are. 17．How does the writer prove the first sentence in Paragraph 3? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving examples.

With the development of cities, the rising underground temperature is causing the ground to heat up and deform, reported a research team from Northwestern University, US. In the last three years, the team had put more than 150 temperature sensors under Chicago. The places include subway tunnels (隧道), underground parking lots and basements (地下室) of buildings. The temperatures they recorded were surprising. For example, air temperatures in underground structures can be up to 25℃ higher compared to the undisturbed ground temperature. After collecting data in Chicago, the team created computer models to see how temperatures will influence the ground until 2051. When heated, some soft materials may contract (收缩), and other materials, such as stone, may expand (膨胀) in size. The models showed that warmer temperatures can cause the ground to expand upward by as much as 1.2 centimeters, or sink downward by as much as 0.8 centimeters. This may even cause the ground to crack (开裂), leaving people who live and work above in dangerous situations. “The effects can be very bad, but it takes a long time to see them,” Rotta Loria, who led the study, said in a report. As scientists have already known a lot about underground climate change, future plans for cities should take it into consideration. Materials that take in heat can be used to keep the heat from entering the ground. The team also pointed out that the rising temperature could be seen as an opportunity. City planners can try to collect heat underground and send it above for heating. 21．Which place might belong to the “undisturbed ground”? A．Forests. B．Subway tunnels. C．Basements of buildings. D．Underground parking lots. 22．What did the research team find in Chicago? A．Underground climate change is quickening. B．The underground temperature has risen to 25℃. C．Local underground temperatures are rising. D．Climate change affects the underground temperature. 23．Which of following may be caused by underground climate change? A．Cracking in the ground. B．Contractions in buildings. C．Expansions of soft materials. D．More earthquakes. 24．To lower underground temperature, researchers suggested ________. A．we use materials that take in heat B．we collect heat underground C．we cut down human activities D．we protect the underground environment 25．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．What the team will study in the future. B．How to make use of the rising underground heat. C．How to control the temperature underground. D．What the results will be if we don’t take action.（六）（23-24九年级上·福建泉州·期中） The 2022 World Internet Conference closed on November 11 in Wuzhen, Zhejiang. People have seen lots of cool technology there.

One of the high-lights (亮点) of these flower beds was to make good use of garden waste. One of them was in Tian’anmen Square. Its topic was “Wonderful Winter Olympics”. The five Olympic rings and the snowflake shape were at the bottom of the flower bed. To our surprise, all of these were made from garden waste. This could not only save resources but also bring people more beauty. It was generally praised by the public. Green Olympics is one of the four main ideas of Beijing Winter Olympics. It took more than six years to prepare for the Games. In this process, the designers put the idea of green Olympics into every part. They integrated green Olympics with the city and its surroundings (环境). Green Olympics can not only make good use of waste and protect the environment, but also be good for the future development of the city. There’s no doubt that the Winter Olympics theme flower beds, which showed the “simple, safe and wonderful” requirements for the competition, added points to the unique charm (独特魅力) of the “City of the Two Olympics”. As waste is considered as a resource that is put in a wrong place, the designers made the waste in the right place for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games. Besides, thrift (节俭) and hard work are the tradition of the Chinese nation. We also should save energy and make good use of waste in our daily life. 41．What is special about the flower beds?

Easter Island hosted a meeting from April 3 to April 5. It was about protecting the ocean and how to deal with plastic pollution. According to the United Nations, plastic is the biggest and most harmful type of litter in the ocean. It makes up at least 85 percent of all rubbish. Stopping plastic pollution is hard. Right now, the United Nations is working to make new rules. These rules will force countries to deal with it. Doing their share As a major polluter, the fashion industry is responsible(有责任的) for nearly 10 percent of the world’s carbon tasks, according to the UN. In 2021, about 1.2 million tons of old clothes were thrown away in California. While 95 percent are reusable, only 15 percent are actually recycled. California put more responsibility onto clothing companies after passing the first US clothing recycling law on Sept 28, 2024. The law said that companies making clothes have to do their share to reduce fashion waste. They must set up a program to reuse, repair and recycle their goods. What’s more, they would have to pay for the costs of the whole program. 1．When did the meeting take place on Easter Island? A．On April 3. B．On April 5. C．On April 4.

Take a close look at the world of insects, and you’ll discover many unbelievable things. Consider butterflies, for example. They have beautiful, colorful wings, and strong, fantastic flying skills. On summer days, you always see them flying freely over flower gardens and wild fields. But did you know how butterflies become the flying insects? It’s one of the amazing wonders of nature. In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colorful egg on a leaf or stem of a plant. It’s hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It becomes a walking insect. This insect is called caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life has begun. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see. But it is still not a butterfly. Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. It covers itself in the nice protective blanket and goes to sleep. This stage is known as the “pupa (蛹)” stage. After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colorful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away. After a few weeks, this adult butterfly lays her eggs, and the cycle begins all over again. This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look around the natural world, and you will learn many truly amazing things. 6．What is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1?

Then, you must have heard that the best skipping stone is flat (扁平的), thin and small enough to hold in one hand. But now scientists say a heavier one, but no heavier than a tennis ball, is also good. That’s because... When a heavier stone hits the water, a bigger part of it goes under the water so it gets a stronger push from the water. ★Top tips: 1. Find the right stone. 2. Flat, smooth water is the best, like a lake or a pool. 3. Don’t throw it hard. Instead, try to throw quickly. 4. Turn the stone around quickly when you throw it. 5.

For example, you shouldn’t eat with your mouth open; and in the UK, people should drive on the left. Online, the rules aren’t clear and it can be hard to know how to behave. The following things can help you think about online safety. You probably know the basic rules: Don’t give personal information to anybody you don’t know, and check trusted websites. Gwen Taylor, who works on online safety says, “It’s also about whether you’re able to do the things you love without feeling worried.” This is important, so everybody should know and practice the rules. When your online safety is threatened (威胁), what should you do? The first thing to do is to tell a trusted adult about what’s happening. If another person is unkind, or he posts things that scare (恐吓) you, you can report them to the online police. Taylor suggests recording these things because this will be useful for you to report them and let others to help you. Even if it can be easy to say something unkind in return, this can make things worse, so try to stay cool. Be a good digital citizen (电子市民). How you act online is just as important as how others treat you. “You need to use online space friendly, which means treating everybody online with amity.” says Taylor. If you’ve shared something you shouldn’t have, or left someone out of an online group, it’s never too late to say sorry and fix the situation. If you notice somebody having trouble online, consider reporting it and getting in touch with the person being treated badly to make sure he is OK. Let’s work together for a better Internet environment. 16．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling interesting stories. B．By comparing some messages. C．By listing important numbers.

We have lost most of natural resources, and now we are going to lose animals! Natural competition happens when species (物种) compete for food and living places. An example of an animal species affected by this is the dinosaur that die out. We have caused animals to be in danger too. The pollution that we create destroys many animals’ living places like the sea turtle. Over hunting is also a huge threat. When people over hunt, they catch too many of an animal species, so either not many animals are left, or no animals are left at all. Examples of some overhunted animals are the Bali tiger. Cutting down trees is also very dangerous for animals. It leaves them with no place to live, such as many species in the Amazon Rainforest. Many organizations such as WWF (World Wildlife Fund) are doing something to protect animals and the environment. They try to protect the living places of many endangered animals. They do studies on the species and they educate people. Zoos also help. They let many endangered species live in a healthy and safe environment. Sometimes zoos might even let an endangered animal go back into the wild to try to raise population numbers again. Not only the big organizations but also you can help. You can give away money or you can volunteer, or you can do the simplest thing of all—CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT! 21．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The pollution. B．Natural competition. C．The waste of food. D．The less living space. 22．What made the Bali tiger be in danger? A．Having no enough living places. B．The pollution. C．Human’s over hunting.

Which way is lower in carbon? To be friendly to the environment, you may choose to walk. Have you ever tried to live a low-carbon life through your diet? A new study from the University of Oxford has looked into the health and environmental influences of 15 foods common in western diets. Among these, plant-based foods included fruits, vegetables, nuts and potatoes. It also studied animal-based foods, including red meat, chicken, milk products, eggs and fish. According to the study’s lead researcher, Michael Clark, “Choosing better and greener diets is one of the main ways people can improve their health and protect the environment.” That is to say, plant-based diets are much healthier for us and kinder to the environment. To get this result, researchers compared the influence of eating another portion (一份) of each food with the increased risk of a few illnesses. They also find out the environmental harm for each animal-based food and each plant-based food. By using this method, the study found that red meats were the most unfriendly foods to the environment. Keeping farm animals produces a large number of methane (甲烷) that keeps 30 times more heat than CO2. As well as making the earth warmer, eating too much red meat is known to increase the risk of a few illnesses, such as heart trouble.

Since cars are not allowed in the city, there are no horns (喇叭) or noises from car engines. People don’t have to try hard to make themselves heard. What you hear in the street, instead, is the singing of birds. “Listen,” says Miguel Lores, the mayor (市长), opening the windows of his office. From the street below rises the sound of human voices. “More than 14,000 cars used to pass along this street every day. There were more cars passing through the city in a day than people living here.” Lores became mayor in 1999. He spent months walking around the city. “The historical city is dead,” he said one day. “It is full of cars. It is heavily polluted. There are a lot of traffic accidents. The elderly and children aren’t able to use the streets because of cars. People who had a chance to leave have done so.” At first, Lores thought of improving traffic conditions. However, he couldn’t come up with a good plan. After lots of discussions, the government finally decided to get rid of (清除) cars. The change has brought Pontevedra many benefits. Traffic accidents are now rare (罕见的). CO2 emissions (排放物) are down by 70%. Many people are moving to the city, making it lively again. Most local people like the change. Ramiro Armesto, a mother of two young children, said, “In the past, the first thing to see in the morning was traffic jams. Now, the city is cleaner, quieter and safer.” Raquel Garcia, another parent, said she had stayed in many cities around the world. However, she had never lived in a city as “easy to live in” as Pontevedra. “Even if it’s raining, I walk everywhere. The feeling is wonderful,” she added. 31．From Paragraph 1, we know Pontevedra is a (n) ______ city in Spain. A．noisy B．quiet C．busy D．crowded 32．For Lores, what was the city Pontevedra’s main problem? A．The historical city was dead. B．There were lots of traffic accidents. C．Many people were leaving the city. D．There were too many cars in the city. 33．The underlined word “benefits” probably means “______” in English.

But Felix Bock would see boxes, tables, shelves and so on. In 2016, Felix Bock, a student at the University of British Columbia, Canada, found out people threw away about 100,000 pairs of chopsticks every day in Vancouver alone. He felt the need to do something. So he started the company ChopValue in the same year. The company collected used chopsticks from restaurants, schools and shopping centers in Canada and the US and turned them into furniture and other artworks. Now in its fifth year, with the rapid growth of the company, Bock employs 40 people, and using his special methods of steam and press machines, he has recycled 32 million pairs of chopsticks. Bock takes pride in (对……感到自豪) his work. And he hopes the idea behind ChopValue will help people rethink what they see as waste. “I believe every small action can help,” he said. “And I am happy that my business provides a new way for people.” Hundreds of restaurants across North America pay a little money to Bock for the recycling of their used chopsticks. Bock doesn't stop there. Now he is busy taking his business to more countries and has set up factories for recycling local wood like chopsticks in 10 countries. 36．When did Bock start his company?

In western countries like the US, one of the most popular is leaving a tooth under a pillow (枕头) for the Tooth Fairy (仙子). Here are three other interesting tooth traditions for you to know. Toss the Tooth in the AirMany children in the Middle East don’t leave their teeth for a fairy. Instead, they go outside and toss their teeth up in the air, aiming for the sun. It’s said to be helpful for the growth of new teeth. They may also be much stronger than before. Toss the Tooth on the Roof (屋顶)In India, kids will toss the bottom teeth on the roof. However, the upper ones are placed somewhere low, such as under the bed. The teeth are hoped to be taken by a bird or a mouse. This is believed to make sure that new ones grow as fast as possible. Hide That ToothIn Nepal, if a bird steals your baby’s teeth, it’s considered bad luck. So children will hide their teeth in secret places. Kids in Malaysia bury (埋) their teeth in the ground, too. It’s seen as returning the tooth back to nature. In Turkey, children also hide the teeth. Burying a tooth near a hospital is believed to help a child become a doctor. Soccer fields are popular, because everyone wants to be a good player! 41．There are ________ kinds of tooth traditions mentioned in this passage.

As cat owners know well, cats do not follow humans in the same way as dogs do. Dogs are usually trained to do what people want them to do. In fact, some scientists say that cats have trained us to take care of them. As a result, many people have come to think that maybe cats do not understand human language. A report in the scientific journal (杂志) Nature shows that cats understand human beings well enough to recognize their own names. The report describes (描述) experiments (实验) with house cats in Japan. During the tests, people say four words that were similar to a cat’s name. The cats seemed to lose interest after the speaker said a few of the words. Then the person said the cat’s name. The cats moved their ears or turned their heads when they heard their names. They also moved their feet or bodies very little—not a surprising result. Another finding was that a cat will give an answer when a person who is not its owner says its name. The study was carried out by four more researchers (研究者). “I think many cat owners feel that cats know their names, or the word ‘food’, but until now, there was no scientific evidence to support the result,” says Saito, who is a cat owner. The researchers hope that the findings from their study will help both cats and people. They added that perhaps cats can learn words to warn (警告) them of dangerous things or places. 46．From paragraph 2, we know that ________. A．dogs are cleverer than cats B．cats do more for humans C．people like dogs better D．it’s not easy to train a cat 47．The report in Nature describes experiments to show that ________.

They are very important for the people who can’t see. Yu Guanbin, a blind man from Shenzhen, showed us the new changes to the sidewalks for the blind in his city. Yu unluckily became blind over 10 years ago. At that time, it was not easy for him to go outside. As there were no sidewalks for the blind in many places across the city, Yu easily get lost. He had to stay at home as much as possible. “However, things have changed a lot recently. Most roads in the city now have sidewalks for the blind. I go to work on foot every day. It only takes me15 minutes. I can also walk to a nearby bread shop to buy breakfast and take the underground to my friends’ home on weekends,” said Yu. What’s more, the new sidewalks are more user-friendly. For example, the sidewalks are 30 centimeters to 50 centimeters away from the green plants along the roads. “Such careful design makes us feel safer while we walk,” Yu said. “On my way to the office, a new manhole cover (井盖) is also put into use. The sidewalk can lie over the manhole cover, so we don’t need to make a turn like before.” Now, most roads have sidewalks for the blind. However, there are still some problems. Some people misuse the sidewalks by leaving their cars there. Also, blind people need something that can make sound at traffic lights to help them across the roads.

They can’t talk. They can’t walk. And they can’t think like us. Or can they? A new TV show, The Green Planet, gives us a new look at plants. Shown on Jan.10th on Bilibili, it uncovers (揭示) the wonderful way that plants behave (表现). Plants compete against each other to live. Each plant has its own ways of protecting itself. In the rainforest, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “war field” in the show as only two percent of the sunlight gets through it. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But they are caught up in a vine (藤本植物) that tries to get a ride. Finally, they are both over-taken (超过) by a fast-growing tree. As the tree has smooth hairs on its leaves, the vine can’t get a hold. Similarly, some trees try to protect themselves in other ways. Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, the roots of Euphrates poplar (胡杨) are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share it with others through the roots. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) as a way to “talk” to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell nearby plants about it. How amazing the plants are! The TV show not only lets us marvel (惊叹) at the magic plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the needs of all life, including ourselves. We depend on them for every mouth of food that we eat and the air we breathe.” said David Attenborough, host of the show. It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants. 16．What is the show The Green Planet mainly about? A．Why plants can’t talk and think. B．Where wonderful plants are. C．How people change the plants. D．What great behaviors of plants are. 17．How does the writer prove the first sentence in Paragraph 3? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By raising questions. D．By making comparison. 18．Which of the followings is TRUE according to the text? A．A vine can catch up in any other plant. B．Plants use Wi-Fi to communicate with others. C．98% of sunlight can get through to the forest floor. D．Fungus is a good tool for some plants to “talk” to others. 19．According to David, we can infer (推断出) that ________. A．People can eat and breathe with the help of plants B．Wild plants produces all the food for lives on earth C．The plants in the TV show surprises David a lot D．Humans can do something to protect wild plants 20．What can be the best title for the text?

As the tree has smooth hairs on its leaves, the vine can’t get a hold.”可知，在这一段作者通过举例子证明该段第一句“植物为了生存而相互竞争”。故选B。 18．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) as a way to ‘talk’ to each other.”可知，研究还表明，植物利用真菌作为一种相互“交谈”的方式。故选D。 19．推理判断题。根据“...We depend on them for every mouth of food that we eat and the air we breathe...It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.”可知，我们吃的每一口食物和呼吸的空气都依赖于植物，因此人类可以采取一些措施来保护野生植物。故选D。 20．最佳标题题。根据第二段中的“Shown on Jan.10th on Bilibili, it uncovers (揭示) the wonderful way that plants behave (表现).”并通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了植物不为人知的奇妙的行为方式。故选A。 （五）（23-24九年级上·福建福州·期中） As climate change brings dangers to people, we are now facing another problem—underground climate change. With the development of cities, the rising underground temperature is causing the ground to heat up and deform, reported a research team from Northwestern University, US. In the last three years, the team had put more than 150 temperature sensors under Chicago. The places include subway tunnels (隧道), underground parking lots and basements (地下室) of buildings. The temperatures they recorded were surprising. For example, air temperatures in underground structures can be up to 25℃ higher compared to the undisturbed ground temperature. After collecting data in Chicago, the team created computer models to see how temperatures will influence the ground until 2051. When heated, some soft materials may contract (收缩), and other materials, such as stone, may expand (膨胀) in size. The models showed that warmer temperatures can cause the ground to expand upward by as much as 1.2 centimeters, or sink downward by as much as 0.8 centimeters. This may even cause the ground to crack (开裂), leaving people who live and work above in dangerous situations. “The effects can be very bad, but it takes a long time to see them,” Rotta Loria, who led the study, said in a report. As scientists have already known a lot about underground climate change, future plans for cities should take it into consideration. Materials that take in heat can be used to keep the heat from entering the ground. The team also pointed out that the rising temperature could be seen as an opportunity. City planners can try to collect heat underground and send it above for heating. 21．Which place might belong to the “undisturbed ground”? A．Forests. B．Subway tunnels. C．Basements of buildings. D．Underground parking lots. 22．What did the research team find in Chicago? A．Underground climate change is quickening. B．The underground temperature has risen to 25℃. C．Local underground temperatures are rising. D．Climate change affects the underground temperature. 23．Which of following may be caused by underground climate change? A．Cracking in the ground. B．Contractions in buildings. C．Expansions of soft materials. D．More earthquakes. 24．To lower underground temperature, researchers suggested ________. A．we use materials that take in heat B．we collect heat underground C．we cut down human activities D．we protect the underground environment 25．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．What the team will study in the future. B．How to make use of the rising underground heat. C．How to control the temperature underground. D．What the results will be if we don’t take action. 【答案】21．A 22．C 23．A 24．A 25．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了地下温度不断地上升，给人们带来危险，然而，科学家认为气温上升可能被视为一个机会，城市规划者可以尝试在地下收集热量，并将其输送到上面供暖。 21．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The places include subway tunnels (隧道), underground parking lots and basements (地下室) of buildings.

We have lost most of natural resources, and now we are going to lose animals! Natural competition happens when species (物种) compete for food and living places. An example of an animal species affected by this is the dinosaur that die out. We have caused animals to be in danger too. The pollution that we create destroys many animals’ living places like the sea turtle. Over hunting is also a huge threat. When people over hunt, they catch too many of an animal species, so either not many animals are left, or no animals are left at all. Examples of some overhunted animals are the Bali tiger. Cutting down trees is also very dangerous for animals. It leaves them with no place to live, such as many species in the Amazon Rainforest. Many organizations such as WWF (World Wildlife Fund) are doing something to protect animals and the environment. They try to protect the living places of many endangered animals. They do studies on the species and they educate people. Zoos also help. They let many endangered species live in a healthy and safe environment. Sometimes zoos might even let an endangered animal go back into the wild to try to raise population numbers again. Not only the big organizations but also you can help. You can give away money or you can volunteer, or you can do the simplest thing of all—CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT! 21．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The pollution.

Which way is lower in carbon? To be friendly to the environment, you may choose to walk. Have you ever tried to live a low-carbon life through your diet? A new study from the University of Oxford has looked into the health and environmental influences of 15 foods common in western diets. Among these, plant-based foods included fruits, vegetables, nuts and potatoes. It also studied animal-based foods, including red meat, chicken, milk products, eggs and fish. According to the study’s lead researcher, Michael Clark, “Choosing better and greener diets is one of the main ways people can improve their health and protect the environment.” That is to say, plant-based diets are much healthier for us and kinder to the environment. To get this result, researchers compared the influence of eating another portion (一份) of each food with the increased risk of a few illnesses. They also find out the environmental harm for each animal-based food and each plant-based food. By using this method, the study found that red meats were the most unfriendly foods to the environment. Keeping farm animals produces a large number of methane (甲烷) that keeps 30 times more heat than CO2. As well as making the earth warmer, eating too much red meat is known to increase the risk of a few illnesses, such as heart trouble. Plant-based diets can keep us in good health in a much greener way. Speaking to the Guardian (《卫报》), Tim Benton of Chatham House said, “If we can give people official (官方的) advice of what a healthy and green diet is, the world and its people would be in a much better place.” 26．How does the writer lead into the topic in Paragraph 1? A．By giving an example. B．By asking questions. C．By making a comparison. D．By making a survey. 27．Which one is animal-based food? A． B． C． D． 28．What’s the result of this study? A．Many people choose to walk to work. B．Plant-based diets are healthier and greener. C．The more we eat, the better the environment is. D．15 foods common in western diets are not healthy. 29．What is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A．The harm of CO2. B．The risk of heart trouble. C．A reason for keeping animals. D．Two disadvantages of red meats. 30．What will this study probably be used for? A．Teaching farmers to plant vegetables correctly. B．Offering doctors new methods to treat patients.

Since cars are not allowed in the city, there are no horns (喇叭) or noises from car engines. People don’t have to try hard to make themselves heard. What you hear in the street, instead, is the singing of birds. “Listen,” says Miguel Lores, the mayor (市长), opening the windows of his office. From the street below rises the sound of human voices. “More than 14,000 cars used to pass along this street every day. There were more cars passing through the city in a day than people living here.” Lores became mayor in 1999. He spent months walking around the city. “The historical city is dead,” he said one day. “It is full of cars. It is heavily polluted. There are a lot of traffic accidents. The elderly and children aren’t able to use the streets because of cars. People who had a chance to leave have done so.” At first, Lores thought of improving traffic conditions. However, he couldn’t come up with a good plan. After lots of discussions, the government finally decided to get rid of (清除) cars. The change has brought Pontevedra many benefits. Traffic accidents are now rare (罕见的). CO2 emissions (排放物) are down by 70%. Many people are moving to the city, making it lively again. Most local people like the change. Ramiro Armesto, a mother of two young children, said, “In the past, the first thing to see in the morning was traffic jams. Now, the city is cleaner, quieter and safer.” Raquel Garcia, another parent, said she had stayed in many cities around the world.

In western countries like the US, one of the most popular is leaving a tooth under a pillow (枕头) for the Tooth Fairy (仙子). Here are three other interesting tooth traditions for you to know. Toss the Tooth in the AirMany children in the Middle East don’t leave their teeth for a fairy. Instead, they go outside and toss their teeth up in the air, aiming for the sun. It’s said to be helpful for the growth of new teeth. They may also be much stronger than before. Toss the Tooth on the Roof (屋顶)In India, kids will toss the bottom teeth on the roof. However, the upper ones are placed somewhere low, such as under the bed. The teeth are hoped to be taken by a bird or a mouse. This is believed to make sure that new ones grow as fast as possible. Hide That ToothIn Nepal, if a bird steals your baby’s teeth, it’s considered bad luck. So children will hide their teeth in secret places. Kids in Malaysia bury (埋) their teeth in the ground, too. It’s seen as returning the tooth back to nature. In Turkey, children also hide the teeth. Burying a tooth near a hospital is believed to help a child become a doctor.

As cat owners know well, cats do not follow humans in the same way as dogs do. Dogs are usually trained to do what people want them to do. In fact, some scientists say that cats have trained us to take care of them. As a result, many people have come to think that maybe cats do not understand human language. A report in the scientific journal (杂志) Nature shows that cats understand human beings well enough to recognize their own names. The report describes (描述) experiments (实验) with house cats in Japan. During the tests, people say four words that were similar to a cat’s name. The cats seemed to lose interest after the speaker said a few of the words. Then the person said the cat’s name. The cats moved their ears or turned their heads when they heard their names. They also moved their feet or bodies very little—not a surprising result. Another finding was that a cat will give an answer when a person who is not its owner says its name. The study was carried out by four more researchers (研究者). “I think many cat owners feel that cats know their names, or the word ‘food’, but until now, there was no scientific evidence to support the result,” says Saito, who is a cat owner. The researchers hope that the findings from their study will help both cats and people. They added that perhaps cats can learn words to warn (警告) them of dangerous things or places. 46．From paragraph 2, we know that ________. A．dogs are cleverer than cats B．cats do more for humans C．people like dogs better D．it’s not easy to train a cat 47．The report in Nature describes experiments to show that ________.

A．途径 B．成就 C．辩论 D．证据 50．The text is mainly developed by ________.

Dogs are usually trained to do what people want them to do”可知，猫不会像狗那样跟随人类，狗通常被训练成做人们想让它们做的事，可推知猫不容易被训练。故选D。 47．细节理解题。根据“A report in the scientific journal (杂志) Nature shows that cats understand human beings well enough to recognize their own names.”可知，《自然》科学杂志的一篇报道表明，猫对人类的理解足以认出自己的名字，即能理解人类语言。故选A。 48．细节理解题。根据“The cats moved their ears or turned their heads when they heard their names.
