Unlike most plants, they have thick stems instead of large leaves. These stems can store water, which is very important for living in dry places. Cacti come in many shapes and sizes. Some are as small as a tennis ball, while others can grow up to 20 meters tall. Their flowers are usually bright—pink, yellow, or red—and bloom for a short time each year.

They stop animals from eating the cactus and also reduce water loss by shading the plant. People in desert areas use cacti in different ways. Some eat the fruit of certain cacti, which is sweet and juicy. Others use the stems to make medicine. But cacti are also in danger because of overcollecting and habitat loss. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 8．Where do most cacti grow? A．In forests. B．In deserts. C．In rivers.

They use branches, stones, and mud to build dams across rivers. These dams create ponds, which become their homes. A beaver can cut down a small tree in just 15 minutes with its sharp teeth!​ 19 The ponds made by beavers are useful for many animals. Fish lay eggs in the calm water, birds find food near the ponds, and frogs live in the wet grass around them. Even after beavers leave, the ponds stay and help plants grow.​ 20 Once, beavers lived in many parts of North America and Europe. But in the 1800s, people hunted them for their thick fur and the scent glands used in medicine. This made their numbers drop sharply.​ 21 Today, people are working to bring beavers back. In some countries, laws stop hunting. Workers also build special fences to protect trees, so beavers and humans can live together without problems.​ 22 In 2021, a group of scientists studied beavers in Scotland. They found that beaver dams helped stop floods—water stayed in the ponds instead of rushing down hills. This surprised many people who once thought beavers were a nuisance.​ A．How Beavers Help Prevent Disasters​ B．Beavers’ Amazing Building Skills​ C．The Many Enemies of Beavers​ D．Beavers’ Ponds: Homes for Other Creatures​ E．Trying to Save the Beavers​ F．Why Beavers Disappeared in the Past​ 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 Have you ever tried Lanzhou beef noodles? 23 Known as “China’s first noodles”, Lanzhou beef noodles have a long history that goes back to the Tang Dynasty (618—907). 24 First, you need to pick the best food and prepare the dough (面团) for the noodles.

Every spring, they fly back to our cities from warm places like Africa. 33 They build nests under the roofs of houses and on bridges, where they can stay safe.​ However, in recent years, fewer swallows have returned. 34 Many old houses are being pulled down, and new buildings have smooth walls—no good for building nests. Also, farmers now use more chemicals, which kill the insects that swallows eat.​ Luckily, people are trying to help. 35 In some towns, workers put special wooden boxes under bridges to give swallows new nesting places. Schools also teach students about protecting these birds.​ Last month, a group of children in a village noticed something happy: swallows were building nests in the new boxes! 36 “We saw three baby swallows in one nest,” said 10-year-old Mia. “It’s like having new friends!”​ Swallows are more than just birds. 37 By helping them, we learn to care for all living things around us.​ A．They bring us joy and remind us of the beauty of nature.​ B．This is because their living environment is changing.​ C．They make the journey to find food and raise their babies.​ D．The birds sang loudly, and the village felt lively again.​ E．People are making their homes more swallow-friendly.​ 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从下面的五个选项中选择四个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 Different people have different ideas about doing housework.

Every time my mom asked her to clean our room, she went to do her homework right away. “Mary, I have too much homework to do. 39 ” she always said. I never refused (拒绝) her, so I was always doing housework while (当) my sister was doing her homework. Many years has passed. Now my sister and I are quite different. 40 Every time she gets into trouble, she gets nervous and doesn’t know what to do. Sometimes, she even needs mom’s help to clean her house. 41 One day, your child may thank you for giving him the chance to help. A．In fact, they are wrong. B．Can you help me clean the room?

When touched, its leaves fold up quickly, as if it’s shy. This clever trick helps it avoid being eaten by animals—most pests lose interest when the leaves close! Mimosa grows in warm places like forests and grasslands. It loves sunlight and well-watered soil. But today, this plant is in danger. People often pick it for fun, and construction (建筑施工) destroys its home. In some areas, mimosa has become rare. Scientists say mimosa is more than a “shy” plant. Its folding leaves can teach us about plant movement—how plants react to the world around them. Protecting mimosa means saving a small but important part of nature’s diversity (多样性). 42．Why do mimosa leaves fold up when touched? (No more than 10 words) 43．Where does mimosa like to grow? (No more than 15 words) 44．What are the two dangers to mimosa? (No more than 15 words) 45．What can we learn from mimosa’s folding leaves? (No more than 10 words) 46．What can you do to protect mimosa?

As the saying goes: You are not a hero until you have climbed the Great Wall. The Great Wall was a long wall to keep enemies (敌人) from the country. Nowadays it is regarded as a wonder of architecture (建筑). Millions of tourists come to visit it each year. Also, it is the most visited place for foreign leaders when they come to China. Why is the Great Wall so inviting? The Great Wall has different parts and each one is very special. Jinshanling Great Wall in Hebei is the most beautiful section. In spring, it is in the middle of a white apricot blossom. During summertime, green plants circle the wall. In autumn, maple leaves paint a golden and red scene. And winter puts the great wall in a world of white snow. The “wild wall” is great for backpackers. Wild parts of the wall are for the adventurous (敢于冒险的人) because they are the same as they were before. Jiankou Great Wall is a famous one. There are many kinds of plants on the wall. Trees grow up from in between the stones. In some places, you have to climb the stones with both your hands and feet. Be careful when you visit the wild walls. You’d better not go there alone. Have you heard about Meng Jiangnu? The most well-known traditional story of the Great Wall is Meng Jiangnu. Meng Jiangnu is a woman from the Qin Dynasty. She walks a long way to the Great Wall to find her husband. He is one of the people to build the wall. But she finds him dead. She starts to cry, and suddenly a section of the Great Wall falls down. How long is the Great Wall? Traditionally, we call the Great Wall “a long wall of 10,000 li (5,000 kilometers)”. But the wall is actually 21,196.18 kilometers, according to China’s State Administration of Cultural Heritage. 52． 53． 54． 55． 56． What did people do to communicate in ancient times? Here are some very interesting answers to this question. Alphorns (阿尔卑斯号角) were once used to communicate in the mountains in Switzerland. They are very long and they are very heavy too. So, alphorns are hard to blow. Then why use them? Well, they make a loud sound which travels much further than the human voice. Herdsmen (牧民) used them to call cows in the distance for milking. At sunset, alphorns were also used to send a message down to villagers that all was well. Nowadays, they’re mostly used as musical instruments. Some people have their own special ways of sending messages from mountain to mountain. They use a whistled (口哨的) language called Silbo, which comes from their language Spanish. Whistling can be heard within five kilometres, which means it can’t be used across much greater distances than shouting. Silbo can be used for all kinds of messages, including greetings and announcements. Did you know it’s also possible to send messages without making a noise? This is called visual (视觉的) communication, and it includes the use of flags and even smoke. Long ago, soldiers along the Great Wall of China used smoke as a warning. If they noticed the enemy from their signal tower, they lit a smoky fire. When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke, they lit fires too. In this way, messages about the enemy’s arrival could travel as far as 800 km in just a few hours. 57．Alphorns are mostly used for today. 58．The Silbo is a kind of coming from Spanish. 59．Visual communication includes the use of . 60．Soldiers along the Great Wall got warning messages between towers by . 61．This passage mainly writes about . 阅读下面表格，根据表格内容，在表格后的短文空格处填入恰当的词语，使短文内容完整、通顺（每空词数不限）。 Daming and his family Where: in a small house in the mountains Weather: cold, snowy and heavy clouds His sister and cousins: make a snowman His father and uncle: enjoy the beautiful sight His mother and aunt: in the house; drink hot chocolate and talking Daming: by the window; write an email Dear Susan, How is everything going?

Healthy grass beds provide homes for many sea animals. However, sea turtles are in danger. Plastic pollution, climate change, and beach development harm their survival.​ Scientists and volunteers are working to protect sea turtles.

They use branches, stones, and mud to build dams across rivers. These dams create ponds, which become their homes. A beaver can cut down a small tree in just 15 minutes with its sharp teeth!​ 19 The ponds made by beavers are useful for many animals. Fish lay eggs in the calm water, birds find food near the ponds, and frogs live in the wet grass around them. Even after beavers leave, the ponds stay and help plants grow.​ 20 Once, beavers lived in many parts of North America and Europe. But in the 1800s, people hunted them for their thick fur and the scent glands used in medicine. This made their numbers drop sharply.​ 21 Today, people are working to bring beavers back. In some countries, laws stop hunting. Workers also build special fences to protect trees, so beavers and humans can live together without problems.​ 22 In 2021, a group of scientists studied beavers in Scotland.

Also, farmers now use more chemicals, which kill the insects that swallows eat.​ Luckily, people are trying to help. 35 In some towns, workers put special wooden boxes under bridges to give swallows new nesting places. Schools also teach students about protecting these birds.​ Last month, a group of children in a village noticed something happy: swallows were building nests in the new boxes! 36 “We saw three baby swallows in one nest,” said 10-year-old Mia. “It’s like having new friends!”​ Swallows are more than just birds. 37 By helping them, we learn to care for all living things around us.​ A．They bring us joy and remind us of the beauty of nature.​ B．This is because their living environment is changing.​ C．They make the journey to find food and raise their babies.​ D．The birds sang loudly, and the village felt lively again.​ E．People are making their homes more swallow-friendly.​ 【答案】33．C 34．B 35．E 36．D 37．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了燕子的迁徙习性——每年春天从非洲等温暖地区飞回城市筑巢，分析了近年来燕子回归数量减少的原因，介绍了人们为保护燕子所做的努力。 33．根据“Every spring, they fly back to our cities from warm places like Africa.”及“They build nests under the roofs of houses and on bridges, where they can stay safe.”可知，前文提到燕子春天迁徙回城市，后文讲燕子筑巢，选项C“它们迁徙是为了寻找食物并养育幼鸟。”解释了燕子迁徙的目的，符合语境，故选C。 34．根据“However, in recent years, fewer swallows have returned.”及“Many old houses are being pulled down... which kill the insects that swallows eat.”可知，前文指出燕子回归数量减少，后文具体说明生存环境的变化，选项B“这是因为它们的生存环境正在发生变化。”作为过渡句，点明数量减少的核心原因，符合语境，故选B。 35．根据“Luckily, people are trying to help.”及“In some towns, workers put special wooden boxes...Schools also teach students about protecting these birds.”可知，前文提到人们在努力帮助燕子，后文列举具体帮助措施，选项E“人们正在让自己的家园更适合燕子生存。”总述人们改善燕子生存环境的行动，引出下文具体措施，故选E。 36．根据“Last month, a group of children in a village noticed something happy: swallows were building nests in the new boxes!”及“We saw three baby swallows in one nest...”可知，前文提到燕子在新巢箱筑巢的喜事，后文引用孩子的话描述看到雏燕的场景，选项D“鸟儿们放声歌唱，村庄又变得热闹起来。”描绘了燕子回归后村庄的生机景象，符合语境，故选D。 37．根据“Swallows are more than just birds.”及“By helping them, we learn to care for all living things around us.”可知，前文强调燕子的特殊意义，后文讲帮助燕子带来的启示，选项A“它们给我们带来欢乐，也提醒我们自然之美。”具体阐述了燕子的价值，符合语境，故选A。 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从下面的五个选项中选择四个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 Different people have different ideas about doing housework.

When touched, its leaves fold up quickly, as if it’s shy. This clever trick helps it avoid being eaten by animals—most pests lose interest when the leaves close! Mimosa grows in warm places like forests and grasslands. It loves sunlight and well-watered soil. But today, this plant is in danger. People often pick it for fun, and construction (建筑施工) destroys its home. In some areas, mimosa has become rare. Scientists say mimosa is more than a “shy” plant.

Protecting mimosa means saving a small but important part of nature’s diversity (多样性). 42．Why do mimosa leaves fold up when touched? (No more than 10 words) 43．Where does mimosa like to grow? (No more than 15 words) 44．What are the two dangers to mimosa? (No more than 15 words) 45．What can we learn from mimosa’s folding leaves? (No more than 10 words) 46．What can you do to protect mimosa? (No more than 20 words) 【答案】42．To avoid being eaten by animals. 43．In warm places like forests and grasslands with sunlight and well-watered soil. 44．People pick it for fun and construction destroys its home. 45．How plants react to the world. 46．(Example) I can tell others not to pick mimosa and protect its growing areas. 【导语】本文介绍含羞草的“害羞”特性(叶片受触碰闭合)、生长环境，以及面临的人为采摘、栖息地破坏等威胁，阐述保护含羞草对维护生物多样性的意义。 42．根据“This clever trick helps it avoid being eaten by animals”可知闭合叶片是为了避免被动物吃掉，故填To avoid being eaten by animals. 43．根据“Mimosa grows in warm places like forests and grasslands. It loves sunlight and well-watered soil”可知含羞草生长在森林和草地等温暖的地方，它喜欢阳光和水分充足的土壤，故填In warm places like forests and grasslands with sunlight and well-watered soil. 44． 根据“People often pick it for fun, and construction destroys its home”可知含羞草面临的危险是人们经常因为好玩而采摘它和建筑施工毁坏它的家，故填People pick it for fun and construction destroys its home. 45． 根据“Its folding leaves can teach us about plant movement—how plants react to the world around them”可知它的闭合叶子的特性让我们了解植物如何对周围世界做出反应，故填How plants react to the world. 46．开放性作答。符合题意，言之有理即可。参考答案为I can tell others not to pick mimosa and protect its growing areas.

Nowadays it is regarded as a wonder of architecture (建筑). Millions of tourists come to visit it each year. Also, it is the most visited place for foreign leaders when they come to China.

Have you heard about Meng Jiangnu? The most well-known traditional story of the Great Wall is Meng Jiangnu. Meng Jiangnu is a woman from the Qin Dynasty. She walks a long way to the Great Wall to find her husband. He is one of the people to build the wall. But she finds him dead. She starts to cry, and suddenly a section of the Great Wall falls down. How long is the Great Wall? Traditionally, we call the Great Wall “a long wall of 10,000 li (5,000 kilometers)”.

Here are some very interesting answers to this question. Alphorns (阿尔卑斯号角) were once used to communicate in the mountains in Switzerland. They are very long and they are very heavy too. So, alphorns are hard to blow. Then why use them? Well, they make a loud sound which travels much further than the human voice. Herdsmen (牧民) used them to call cows in the distance for milking. At sunset, alphorns were also used to send a message down to villagers that all was well. Nowadays, they’re mostly used as musical instruments. Some people have their own special ways of sending messages from mountain to mountain. They use a whistled (口哨的) language called Silbo, which comes from their language Spanish. Whistling can be heard within five kilometres, which means it can’t be used across much greater distances than shouting. Silbo can be used for all kinds of messages, including greetings and announcements. Did you know it’s also possible to send messages without making a noise? This is called visual (视觉的) communication, and it includes the use of flags and even smoke. Long ago, soldiers along the Great Wall of China used smoke as a warning. If they noticed the enemy from their signal tower, they lit a smoky fire. When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke, they lit fires too. In this way, messages about the enemy’s arrival could travel as far as 800 km in just a few hours. 57．Alphorns are mostly used for today. 58．The Silbo is a kind of coming from Spanish. 59．Visual communication includes the use of . 60．Soldiers along the Great Wall got warning messages between towers by . 61．This passage mainly writes about . 【答案】57．musical instruments 58．whistled language 59．flags and smoke/flags and even smoke 60．the smoke signal/smoke 61．ways of communication in ancient times/different ways to communicate in ancient times 【导语】本文主要介绍了古代人们交流的一些方法。 57．根据“Nowadays, they’re mostly used as musical instruments.”可知，今天阿尔卑斯号角多被用作乐器，故填musical instruments。 58．根据“They use a whistled (口哨的) language called Silbo, which comes from their language Spanish. ”可知，哨语是一种来自西班牙语的口哨语言，故填whistled language。 59．根据“This is called visual (视觉的) communication, and it includes the use of flags and even smoke.”可知，视觉交流包括旗帜和烟雾的使用，故填flags and (even) smoke。 60．根据“Long ago, soldiers along the Great Wall of China used smoke as a warning. If they noticed the enemy from their signal tower, they lit a smoky fire. When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke, they lit fires too. In this way, messages about the enemy’s arrival could travel as far as 800 km in just a few hours.”可知，长城上的士兵通过烟雾信号在城楼之间获取信息。故填the smoke signal/smoke。 61．根据“Here are some very interesting answers to this question.”及通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了古代人们交流的不同方法。故填(different) ways of communication in ancient times。 阅读下面表格，根据表格内容，在表格后的短文空格处填入恰当的词语，使短文内容完整、通顺（每空词数不限）。 Daming and his family Where: in a small house in the mountains Weather: cold, snowy and heavy clouds His sister and cousins: make a snowman His father and uncle: enjoy the beautiful sight His mother and aunt: in the house; drink hot chocolate and talking Daming: by the window; write an email Dear Susan, How is everything going?

They live in warm oceans around the world, but female sea turtles must return to the beach to lay their eggs.​ A female sea turtle can lay up to 100 eggs at a time. The eggs are buried in the sand, which keeps them warm and safe. After about two months, baby turtles break out of the eggs and try to reach the ocean. This is a dangerous journey—many are eaten by birds or other animals.​ Sea turtles are important to ocean health. They eat seagrass, which helps keep the grass beds healthy. Healthy grass beds provide homes for many sea animals. However, sea turtles are in danger. Plastic pollution, climate change, and beach development harm their survival.​ Scientists and volunteers are working to protect sea turtles.
