That’s because spring is the season of pollen allergies (花粉过敏)! Think of your immune system (免疫系统) as “soldiers” protecting your body. Usually, these soldiers keep you safe from things like viruses (病毒). However, sometimes they make a mistake and think pollen is also dangerous. Pollen helps plants spread and grow, but some people’s immune systems don’t fight it properly. This causes sneezing. These days, Beijing is experiencing lots of juniper (刺柏) pollen this spring. In order to cut down the amount of pollen, the government took action like cutting some flower branches. Climate change might be the “criminal”. Because the whole world is getting warmer, flowers come earlier and live longer, making the pollen season longer. A study shows that some countries in Europe also have this problem. And warmer weather brings more CO2. Plants use it as food to grow. It helps plants make more pollen. Also, more cars and factories let out gases (气体) that pollute the air. This pollution can stay with pollen, making allergies worse. Some pollution can even break pollen into small pieces that reach deep into our lungs , causing serious health problems. You might see new trees in your neighborhood. Plants from other places can change the types and amounts of pollen in the air. This can upset the local ecosystem (当地生态系统), sometimes causing more allergies. For example, ryegrass (黑麦草) from Europe causes spring allergies every year in Australia. 31. Why does our immune system fight pollen? A Pollen is similar to a virus. B. It “sees” pollen as dangerous. C. Pollen is dangerous to our bodies. 32. What does the text say about how climate change affects the pollen season? A. It leads to a longer pollen season. B. It makes more plants produce pollen. C. It weakens people’s immunity to pollen. 33. What role do factories play in making allergies worse? A. They help pollen move faster. B. They cause the pollen to be polluted. C. They help pollen spread more widely. 34. What can we do to stop pollen allergies? ①Wear a mask ②Cut some flower branches ③Take some allergy medicine ④ Have some new plants from other places A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ 35. What does the example of ryegrass show? A. What trees are good for the environment. B. How Australia has changed its spring allergies. C. How foreign plants can make a difference to spring allergies. 【答案】31. B 32. A 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文分析春季花粉过敏的成因，指出气候变暖、空气污染和外来植物加剧了过敏问题，并简要提及应对措施。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Usually, these soldiers keep you safe from things like viruses (病毒). However, sometimes they make a mistake and think pollen is also dangerous.”可知，我们的免疫系统会对抗花粉，因为我们的免疫系统误将花粉视为危险物质。故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Because the whole world is getting warmer, flowers come earlier and live longer, making the pollen season longer.”可知，气候变暖使得花粉季节更长。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This pollution can stay with pollen, making allergies worse. Some pollution can even break pollen into small pieces that reach deep into our lungs, causing serious health problems.”可知，工厂排放的气体与花粉结合，加剧过敏。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“sometimes people need to take some medicine to stop it”“the government took action like cutting some flower branches.”可知，可以通过修剪花枝、服药来阻止花粉过敏，结合常识可知，戴口罩也可以阻止花粉过敏。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，本段以黑麦草为例说明外来植物改变当地花粉类型，从而引发过敏。故选C。 B卷（共50分） 一、短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 从下面方框中选出10个单词，将其正确形式填入短文，使短文意思正确通顺（每词限用一次）。 brave dangerous fix hard happy hurt plan proper they when while with In ancient Greece, there was a god named Prometheus.

F 【解析】 【导语】本文聚焦将于11月10日至21日在巴西贝伦举办的COP30气候峰会，围绕“为峰会修建公路而砍伐亚马逊雨林”这一核心事件，介绍了峰会的基本信息、亚马逊雨林的生态意义、巴西总统对峰会的期待，同时客观呈现了公路建设带来的生态问题和当地居民的生活困境，以及地方官员对此的辩解，展现了气候峰会与生态保护之间的矛盾。 【46题详解】 根据上文“Thousands of trees in the Amazon rainforest are being cut down in order to build a highway to the COP30, a summit on climate change. It will be held in the city of Belém in Brazil between November 10th and 21st.”可知，为举办COP30气候峰会，亚马逊雨林的树木正被砍伐以修建公路，峰会将于11月10日至21日在巴西贝伦举行，那么此处需要补充说明峰会的参与规模；选项E“预计将有至少5万人出席此次峰会，其中包括150位国家元首。”符合语境。故选E。 【47题详解】 根据上文“Belém falls in the north of Brazil, near where the Amazon River runs into the sea.”可知，贝伦位于巴西北部，靠近亚马逊河入海口，那么此处需要解释选择贝伦举办峰会的原因；选项C“选择这座城市是因为它靠近亚马逊雨林。”符合语境。故选C。 【48题详解】 根据上文“Brazil’s president said that the rainforest had been the main topic of the summit before. He sees COP30 as a chance to show the Amazon to the world.”可知，巴西总统称雨林此前是峰会的主要议题，并将COP30视为向世界展示亚马逊的机会，那么此处需承接总统对峰会的期待；选项D“他还希望世界关注其政府为保护雨林所做的努力。”符合语境。故选D。 【49题详解】 根据下文“Claudio used to make a living from berries he collected from trees in the area, but now the trees are gone.”可知，Claudio靠采莓果为生，树木被砍后无法养家，因此这里是指修路对居民生计的负面影响；选项A“当地居民也对公路建设表示不满。”符合语境。故选A。 【50题详解】 根据上文“Claudio used to make a living from berries he collected from trees in the area, but now the trees are gone. ‘Everything is gone,’ he said. ‘We don’t have money to support our family anymore.’”可知，Claudio的例子展现了居民的困境，那么此处需平衡观点或补充官方立场；选项F“然而，当地官员称这条公路是‘生态友好型’的，因为它设有动物通道和太阳能照明。”符合语境。故选F。 三、阅读表达（共10小题，计20分） A.完成图表。（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） 根据短文内容，完成图表中所缺信息。 Today, it’s normal for people to know about others’ opinions and argue with them on social media (社交媒体) by using phones and computers. It’s getting more and more common in people’s life. When some people see an idea that they disagree with, they would like to reply to it at once even without looking up more information about the idea. Most of the time, they may only use the facts they know to write their replies, believing what they write is true. Then they click (点击) “post” and think they win the argument. For this kind of people, they have the name “keyboard (键盘) man”. Most people feel terrible when other people disagree with their ideas and talk about them on the Internet. With more arguments, their anger will grow. When they get into these kinds of fights day and night, they are slowly changed. They may not know how different they will become at first. But if they argue often, they may start to enjoy arguing and then end up doing it even more. It’s a dangerous cycle (循环). But what can they do about the arguments? The best way is to get away from those arguments because they are unnecessary and even useless. And there are much better and more interesting things to do, whether on the Internet or in real life. 51. ________ 52. ________ 53. ________ ________ 54. ________ 55. ________ 【答案】51. Online 52. making sure 53. ①. The more ②. The angrier 54. a bad habit 55. a waste of 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了现在人们通过使用手机和电脑了解他人的观点并在社交媒体上与他们争论。 【51题详解】 本文主要介绍了现在人们通过使用手机和电脑了解他人并在社交媒体上与他们争论，故文章的标题可为“加入网上争论”，online“网上”，标题大写首字母。故填Online。 【52题详解】 根据“When some people see an idea that they disagree with, they would like to reply to it at once even without looking up more information about the idea.”可知当一些人看到他们不同意的想法时，他们会立即回复，即使不查找有关该想法的更多信息，即在不确定信息是否是真的情况下，就写下自己的观点，make sure“确保”，介词without后加动名词。故填making sure。 【53题详解】 根据“Most people feel terrible when other people disagree with their ideas and talk about them on the Internet. With more arguments, their anger will grow.”可知，回复越多就会感到越生气，the+比较级，the+比较级，表示“越……，就越……”，故填The more；The angrier。 【54题详解】 根据“But if they argue often, they may start to enjoy arguing and then end up doing it even more.”可知如果他们经常争论，他们可能会开始喜欢争论，然后会做得更多，所以会养成这样的坏习惯，a bad habit“一个坏习惯”。故填a bad habit。 【55题详解】 根据“The best way is to get away from those arguments because they are unnecessary and even useless”可知最好的方法是摆脱这些争论，因为它们是不必要的，甚至是无用的，这是在浪费时间，a waste of time“浪费时间”。故填a waste of。 B.任务型阅读 （共5小题，每小题2分，计10分） 根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 As we know, reading is not only about learning – it’s fun and relaxing. But a study showed only 43% of the young people enjoyed reading. Other research suggested that a quarter of children were pushed to read books they didn't want to read by adults. What do you think, should children be told what to read? “I don’t mind choosing a book from a list of choices provided by the teachers. Due to reading lists like this, I read many good books that I probably wouldn't have chosen on my own.” “As a young student I usually hated it when the whole class read the same simple book page by page together.” Young readers need guidance (指导) *Experts say that many young people are choosing books written for a younger age group. This has led to a fall in children’s ability to read and understand the text. *Adults have lots of experience and know which books are enjoyable for children. You are the one reading the book *Adults don’t know what children like so they shouldn’t choose their reading material.

Teachers have more experience in judging good books, and their reading lists can help students discover high-quality books they might miss on their own. 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕 “是否应告诉孩子读什么书” 展开讨论，既呈现了孩子对教师书单和全班共读的不同看法，也给出了 “青少年阅读需指导” 与 “孩子应自主选书” 两种观点，并提及相关研究数据及专家看法。 【56题详解】 根据“Other research suggested that a quarter of children were pushed to read books they didn’t want to read by adults.”可知，有四分之一的孩子们被迫读他们不喜欢的书。故填25%. 【57题详解】 根据文中“Experts say… This has led to a fall in children’s ability to read and understand the text.”可知，选看低龄化书籍会导致阅读理解水平下降。故填It might lead to a fall in children’s ability to read and understand the text. 【58题详解】 根据Cathy说自己“Due to reading lists like this, I read many good books that I probably wouldn’t have chosen on my own”可知，表明她支持老师的书单是因为能拓宽阅读面。故填Because due to teachers’ reading lists, she has read many good books that she probably wouldn’t have chosen on her own. 【59题详解】 根据Philip表示 “I usually hated it when the whole class read the same simple book page by page together”可知，他对整班共读的阅读方式感到厌烦。故填He doesn’t like the whole-class reading. 【60题详解】 开放性问题，答案不唯一，合理即可。参考答案：I agree with Cathy. Teachers have more experience in judging good books, and their reading lists can help students discover high-quality books they might miss on their own. 四、书面表达（计15分） 61. 第十二届世界运动会（The World Games）将在成都举行，同学们就学生是否应该参加志愿者活动进行了热烈的讨论，请结合双方观点并谈谈你的看法。 注意： 1.文章包含以上图示所有内容； 2.题目自拟； 2.可适当发挥，以使行文连贯，但不得出现真实的个人信息； 3.词数：80-100左右。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Should we be a volunteer?

You can find ways to deal with them. Remember, it’s not healthy to carry worries around in your head. The worry box provides a good place to “share” your worries.

At the time, he helped with the soccer program at his summer camp. “I realized I could make a difference, even as a kid,” said Noah. At another summer camp, Noah helped kids with their art projects. He was also part of a group to beautify schools and parks with painting. The most impressive (令人印象深刻的) part? He did all this before he even turned 14. When he sees a need, he fills it. Once Noah learned about kids who needed meals on weekends when they couldn’t get school lunches. He then joined a group that spent one Saturday afternoon each month delivering (运送) hot food to both kids and their caretakers. “When I found out that I could actually do it every Saturday,” said Noah, “it became a thing I looked forward to each week.” During the past year, Noah has helped people with intellectual disabilities create art projects and taught pupils in reading. Most recently, he began helping the elderly with other volunteers. “We deliver birthday cakes to everyone over 89 during their birthday month, and provide transportation (交通工具) to get food or attend medical appointments (就医),” explained Noah. Noah’s love for volunteering shows no signs of stopping. “It is so meaningful to know that I made a difference to someone’s life,” said Noah. 26. What did Noah help kids with in his first volunteering experience? A. Art projects. B. Sports activities. C. Cleaning parks. 27. Why did Noah join the group to deliver meals to kids on weekends? A. To meet the kids’ needs. B. To kill time on weekends. C. To show his love for cooking. 28. What service did Noah provide for the elderly with other volunteers? A. Helping them to get food. B. Making birthday cakes for them. C. Making medical appointments. 29. Which word best describes Noah, according to the story? A. Honest. B. Creative. C. Warm-hearted. 30. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Showing care for others B. Having wonderful weekends C. Making the world better C “Achoo!” You might hear people sneezing (打喷嚏) a lot now and sometimes people need to take some medicine to stop it. That’s because spring is the season of pollen allergies (花粉过敏)! Think of your immune system (免疫系统) as “soldiers” protecting your body. Usually, these soldiers keep you safe from things like viruses (病毒). However, sometimes they make a mistake and think pollen is also dangerous. Pollen helps plants spread and grow, but some people’s immune systems don’t fight it properly. This causes sneezing. These days, Beijing is experiencing lots of juniper (刺柏) pollen this spring. In order to cut down the amount of pollen, the government took action like cutting some flower branches. Climate change might be the “criminal”. Because the whole world is getting warmer, flowers come earlier and live longer, making the pollen season longer. A study shows that some countries in Europe also have this problem. And warmer weather brings more CO2. Plants use it as food to grow. It helps plants make more pollen. Also, more cars and factories let out gases (气体) that pollute the air. This pollution can stay with pollen, making allergies worse. Some pollution can even break pollen into small pieces that reach deep into our lungs , causing serious health problems. You might see new trees in your neighborhood. Plants from other places can change the types and amounts of pollen in the air. This can upset the local ecosystem (当地生态系统), sometimes causing more allergies. For example, ryegrass (黑麦草) from Europe causes spring allergies every year in Australia. 31. Why does our immune system fight pollen? A. Pollen is similar to a virus. B. It “sees” pollen as dangerous. C. Pollen is dangerous to our bodies. 32. What does the text say about how climate change affects the pollen season? A. It leads to a longer pollen season. B. It makes more plants produce pollen. C. It weakens people’s immunity to pollen. 33. What role do factories play in making allergies worse? A. They help pollen move faster. B. They cause the pollen to be polluted. C. They help pollen spread more widely. 34. What can we do to stop pollen allergies? ①Wear a mask ②Cut some flower branches ③Take some allergy medicine ④ Have some new plants from other places A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ 35. What does the example of ryegrass show? A. What trees are good for the environment. B. How Australia has changed its spring allergies. C. How foreign plants can make a difference to spring allergies.
