Great White Sharks The great white sharks are famous for their size and their sharp（锋利的） teeth. These allow them to catch more food like fish. People call them the king of the sea. They are white and black. The adult（成年的） sharks can be 4-5.2 m and 680-1,100 kg. Polar Bears The adult polar bears can be 350-700 kg. They are all white and full of thick（厚的） fur. Their fur can protect them from water. Although most polar bears are born on land,they spend most of their time in the sea. Poison Dart Frogs（箭毒蛙） Poison dart frogs live in Central South America. They often have beautiful colours. Most of them are small,sometimes less than 1.5 cm. A poison dart frog has enough poison to stop the heart of a large animal from beating. The poison is on their skin（皮肤）,so don’t touch them. 16.What are the great white sharks famous for?( ) A. Their big eyes. B. Their living places. C. Their size and sharp teeth. D. Their beautiful colours. 17.The adult polar bears can be around ________.( ) A. 250 kg B. 400 kg C. 900 kg D. 1,100 kg 18.Where is poison dart frogs’ poison?( ) A. It’s on their skin. B.

Poison dart frogs sometimes are bigger than great white sharks. 20.What’s the passage mainly about?( ) A. The ways to protect animals. B. Some animals with poison. C. The places where the animals live. D. Some animals are in danger. B It’s often said that animals are our friends. This story happened to Brantley Harrison and her family. Living in South Carolina,the Harrisons often take care of the injured（受伤的） animals and send them back into the wild（荒野） when they feel better. One October,a rescue（救援） group found a 4-week-old injured squirrel（松鼠） and placed her with Brantley and her family. The Harrisons named the squirrel Bella. The little squirrel,with three other ones,all lived together in a little “house” outside Brantley’s home. They stayed there until spring. In April of the next year,the Harrisons set thesquirrels free. The other squirrels soon went back to nature,but Bella didn’t because she wasn’t ready to leave her human family. “Bella usually sits at the front door,waiting for someone to notice her,” Brantley said. Her husband John often brought Bella food,as she was usually waiting by the door for him. Bella became a member of the family. They said goodbye,but Bella had other plans. She didn’t leave the family and would not like to go very far into the wild. For eight years,she always visited them. 21.What do the Harrisons often do for animals?( ) A. They look after some injured animals. B. They catch the animals for meat in the wild. C. They send the injured animals to the zoo. D.

A. ③①④② B. ③①②④ C. ④③①② D. ①③④② 25.What can we learn from the story?( ) A. Bella died in the wild at last. B. Bella loved the Harrisons very much. C. Bella soon liked the wild life. D. The Harrisons often visit wild animals. C Can you say the meaning of “zero”?Can you do addition and subtraction（加减法）?Most people can. But do you know bees can do these things too?A study shows that bees have even greater maths abilities. After some training,they can know the difference between even numbers（ending in 0,2,4,6 and 8） and odd numbers（ending in 1,3,5,7 and 9）. Some Australian scientists put up different cards with an odd or even number of triangles（三角形）.They used the numbers 1 to 10.Then they trained the first group of bees to choose odd numbers and the second group to choose even numbers. If a bee flew to the right card,it would get sugar water. If it chose the wrong card,it got bitter（苦的） water. In a short time,all the bees knew what odd numbers or even numbers were. They could fly to the right numbers 80% of the time. After that,the scientists added new cards with the numbers 11 and 12.The bees never saw the numbers in their training before,but they could choose rightly 70% of the time. Surprisingly,the bees even learned odd numbers more quickly than people. How did the bees learn the numbers so fast?Scientists didn’t have a clear idea. But they believe if they find the answer,it will help them build better and faster computers. After all,a bee’s brain（大脑） is about 86,000 times smaller than ours! 26.开篇方式 How does the writer start the passage?( ) A. By listing facts. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions. D. By using pictures. 27.Which of the following cards should the second group of bees fly to?( ) A. ①④ B. ②③ C. ①② D. ③④ 28.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?( ) A. Our brains are 8,600 times bigger than bees. B. Bees like bitter water rather than sugar water. C. After training,bees can learn even numbers more quickly than people. D. After training,bees can know the difference between even numbers and odd numbers. 29.What can we learn from the last paragraph?( ) A. Bees have a great ability to learn numbers. B. Bees like odd numbers better than even numbers. C. Scientists know how bees learn numbers. D. Scientists know why bees can tell different numbers. 30.文章来源 In which part of a newspaper can we probably read the passage?( ) A. Animal World. B. Sports Life. C. Festival Week. D. Beautiful Cities. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 The “Great Green Wall of China” project is over forty years old.

If your answer is “Yes”,why don’t you try some from Zigui,a county in the west of Hubei Province? The navel oranges there taste really nice. They are popular with people all over the country. Zigui County is famous as “the hometown of Chinese navel oranges”.The farmers there started to plant orange trees more than 2,000 years ago. Now there are orange trees everywhere in the county. Planting orange trees needs much hard work. Years ago,the farmers in Zigui had to spend lots of time on their orange trees. They needed to do everything by themselves. The harvest season（丰收季） was the busiest time of the year for them. After they harvested their navel oranges,they had to carry them to the market to sell for money. However,since the smart agriculture program（智慧农业项目） was carried out（实行） in Zigui in October 2019,everything has changed. Now the farmers there are living a much easier and more comfortable life. They can look after their farmland through smartphone apps. The meteorological（气象的） stations help them know about the different weather and deal with weather situations. After they harvest their navel oranges,they usually sell them on the Internet. In this way,their navel oranges can reach people all over the country. 46.Zigui County is ________ for navel oranges.（仅填1词） 47.Years ago,the farmers in Zigui needed to do everything on their own to plant,harvest and ______________________________.（不超过6词） 48 & 49.Fill in the blanks according to the passage.
