Young female elephants who haven’t had babies yet like to help guide and take care of baby elephants. Recently, a team of researchers at the Southwest Forestry University in China noticed that during the breeding (繁殖) season, black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys passed around their babies a lot. The monkeys would take turns to carry or even feed the newborns. This behaviour reminded the team of the way humans babysit for each other. So they decided to watch the monkeys more closely. They followed the group for six months and recorded more than 400 scenes in which a female monkey interacted (互动) with a mother and newborn or gently pulled them closer. Once the newborns had grown up a bit, the mothers would allow other females to take care of them. They made their decision according to who has the most parenting experience. After a more experienced monkey had given up her babysitting duty, the younger females with less experience would still be allowed to look after the babies. Cui Chunyan, one of the researchers in the study, mentioned that this helps the younger females to learn more about parenting to prepare them for having their own babies in the future. She also said that more research needs to be done to find out if mothers make their choices based on the social status of other monkeys or on whether they are related to each other. 46．What have the researchers noticed in the study? A．Monkeys babysit others’ babies. B．Monkeys are too busy to babysit. C．Elephants would take babysitting duty. D．Elephants would guide baby elephants. 47．How did the researchers study the monkeys? A．By interacting with mother monkeys. B．By watching them from time to time. C．By recording and studying their behaviours. D．By looking after the mother and baby monkeys. 48．Which of the following can be a perfect babysitter? A．A monkey that has no children. B．A monkey that cares for its parents. C．A female monkey with rich parenting experience. D．A female monkey with less parenting experience. 49．What can we learn from Cui Chunyan’s words in the last paragraph? A．They will continue their research. B．They are satisfied with the results. C．They have found out monkeys’ social status. D．They have completely understood monkeys’ babysitting choices. 50．What can we find out from the study of monkeys’ babysitting choices? A．Monkeys like human behaviours. B．People should protect the monkeys. C．Researchers compared elephants with monkeys. D．Younger monkeys will be better mothers by caring for babies. C Farming was one part of the country life in the past. But now, farms have come to the buildings in cities. According to a report, more young “city farmers” bought vegetable seeds (种子), nutrient soil (营养土) and gardening tools online. Sales of them are becoming more and more. But why would the young like to be “city farmers”? Zhang Chao, from Anhui Province, is a young “city farmer”. He said he became interested in planting when he lived with his grandpa in the countryside. Zhang said, “Because of my grandfather, I also learned to grow my own vegetables.” Although it takes a lot of hard work to grow vegetables, Zhang feels a sense of achievement (成就) as the seeds grow into crops. “ ▲ ,” added Zhang, “I really want to go back to those days.” Although Zhang recently moved to a place without a yard, he keeps on growing in a balcony (阳台) garden. He has bought strawberry and tomato seeds. Unlike Zhang, Fang Minke from Shenzhen Foreign Languages School thinks planting vegetables is a good way to relax. The girl sometimes feels stressed because of schoolwork. To help herself feel relaxed, she started planting vegetables on her balcony in 2021. Most of the seeds were from her friends. Fang didn’t always know where each plant seed was from, so she just planted them and waited patiently. After half a year, her balcony became a “small garden” with different flowers and vegetables. Planting vegetables is now more than just a way to live. It also brings joy and purpose to young people’s lives. 51．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to ______? A．online shops B．city farmers C．fruit and vegetables D．seeds, soil and tools 52．How does the writer tell us why the young would like to be “city farmers”? A．By giving examples. B．By doing a survey. C．By having a discussion online. D．By showing results. 53．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ”? A．Farming gives me fresh vegetables. B．I can well know about farming. C．It brings me good memories. D．My life skills can be improved. 54．Why does Fang Minke plant a garden indoors? A．To make much money. B．To relax herself. C．To get much farming experience. D．To prepare for her future job. 55．What is the best title of the passage? A．Farming in the Past B．Farms in the City C．A Way to Live D．Young Farmers D It’s commonly said that flying is safer than riding a bus or train. While this is true, flying still has some risks. One risk is bird strikes (击)—when a plane hits a bird while flying. Bird strikes usually happen when a plane is taking off or landing. In 2022, there were 16,960 animal strikes in the US and most of them were bird strikes. Although most bird strikes do not damage (破坏) planes, some can be very serious. In 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 hit a group of birds after taking off. Both of its engines (引擎) stopped working, and the plane had to land on the Hudson River in New York City. Big birds can cause a lot of damage, but even small birds can break windows. Sadly, bird strikes almost always end up killing the birds. To stop bird strikes, airports use many ways. For example, some use loud sounds to drive birds away, and others remove birds’ food source (来源) and homes by covering grassy areas. However, birds can get used to loud sounds, and covering green land is bad for the environment. Now, airports are trying new ideas. At Salt Lake City Airport, people let pigs eat the eggs of nearby birds. At Southwest Florida Airport, people use dogs to drive birds away. Some airports even use special ways to find birds. With these new ideas, people hope to keep birds away from planes and make flying safer in the future. 56．When do bird strikes usually happen? A．When a plane is flying above clouds. B．When a plane is flying near grassy areas. C．When a plane is taking off or landing. D．When a plane is preparing to take off. 57．Why did the writer write Paragraph 3? A．To explain how bird strikes happen. B．To introduce the dangers of bird strikes. C．To show how airports try to stop bird strikes. D．To tell most bird strikes do not damage planes. 58．What does the underlined word “remove” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Tidy up B．Search for C．Take away D．Give away 59．How does Salt Lake City Airport stop bird strikes? A．By using dogs to drive birds away. B．By letting pigs eat the eggs of birds. C．By using special ways to find birds. D．By making loud sounds to drive birds away. 60．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The Safety of Flying B．New Ideas at Airports C．The Danger of Birds near Airports D．Bird Strikes and Ways to Stop Them E 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中，选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺，结构完整. Can you imagine having a cheetah (猎豹) as a pet in the house? Does it sound scary to you? But for a family in South Africa, one cheetah is treated as a VIP (Very Important Person) in the house. The big cheetah is named Jolie, after the film star Angelina Jolie. 61 .

She said, “ 63 . But we are now happy that we did it-she is part of the family.” Just like her name, four-year-old Jolie has achieved a celebrity status (名人地位) in the Browns’ hometown. Fans often come to their home to take pictures of her. 64 However, a cheetah is always a cheetah. 65 . “She always makes a mess in the house, urinating (小便) everywhere and chewing everything.

However, many wild animals are facing the danger of dying out, 76 the environment where they are living has changed greatly. 77 example, their living area has become smaller and smaller because of the development of cities and pollution. They have no room to live in except zoos. And many of the wild animals now can’t find enough food to eat. At 78 same time, people kill animals just for their skin, teeth and meat. 79 (thousand) of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds of animals in the United States alone are considered in 80 (dangerous). Every animal has 81 (it) place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. People should realize how 82 (seriously) the situation is and something should be done to protect the animals. We are supposed to set up some nature reserves (自然保护区) so that animals can live 83 (free). If we don’t take action, the situation will be more and more serious. We are not alone on earth. We human beings could not live without all the plants and animals around us. So 84 (protect) wild animals is very important. We must take measures to keep plants from being destroyed and stop animals from being killed. If each of us can plant a tree and build a bird house, the world will be 85 (much) beautiful. It is very easy but useful. 七、完成句子 86．然而，并不是每个人都懂得青蛙在自然界的重要性。 , not everyone understands frogs’ . 87．为了贮存蜂蜜，蜜蜂创造了蜂巢。 store honey, bees honeycombs. 88．实际上，如果没有蜜蜂的授粉，世界上80%的植物不可能生长。 , bees’ pollination, about 80 the plants in the world can’t grow. 89．你认为哪只蝴蝶更漂亮，这只还是那只？ do you think is beautiful, this one that one? 90．—你的折扇上面是什么？它这么漂亮！ —谢谢，它是竹子画。 —What’s on your ?

Cui Chunyan, one of the researchers in the study, mentioned that this helps the younger females to learn more about parenting to prepare them for having their own babies in the future. She also said that more research needs to be done to find out if mothers make their choices based on the social status of other monkeys or on whether they are related to each other. 46．What have the researchers noticed in the study? A．Monkeys babysit others’ babies. B．Monkeys are too busy to babysit. C．Elephants would take babysitting duty. D．Elephants would guide baby elephants. 47．How did the researchers study the monkeys?

A．They will continue their research. B．They are satisfied with the results. C．They have found out monkeys’ social status. D．They have completely understood monkeys’ babysitting choices. 50．What can we find out from the study of monkeys’ babysitting choices? A．Monkeys like human behaviours.

C Farming was one part of the country life in the past. But now, farms have come to the buildings in cities. According to a report, more young “city farmers” bought vegetable seeds (种子), nutrient soil (营养土) and gardening tools online. Sales of them are becoming more and more. But why would the young like to be “city farmers”? Zhang Chao, from Anhui Province, is a young “city farmer”. He said he became interested in planting when he lived with his grandpa in the countryside. Zhang said, “Because of my grandfather, I also learned to grow my own vegetables.” Although it takes a lot of hard work to grow vegetables, Zhang feels a sense of achievement (成就) as the seeds grow into crops. “ ▲ ,” added Zhang, “I really want to go back to those days.” Although Zhang recently moved to a place without a yard, he keeps on growing in a balcony (阳台) garden. He has bought strawberry and tomato seeds. Unlike Zhang, Fang Minke from Shenzhen Foreign Languages School thinks planting vegetables is a good way to relax. The girl sometimes feels stressed because of schoolwork. To help herself feel relaxed, she started planting vegetables on her balcony in 2021. Most of the seeds were from her friends. Fang didn’t always know where each plant seed was from, so she just planted them and waited patiently. After half a year, her balcony became a “small garden” with different flowers and vegetables. Planting vegetables is now more than just a way to live. It also brings joy and purpose to young people’s lives. 51．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to ______? A．online shops B．city farmers C．fruit and vegetables D．seeds, soil and tools 52．How does the writer tell us why the young would like to be “city farmers”? A．By giving examples. B．By doing a survey.

D．To prepare for her future job. 55．What is the best title of the passage? A．Farming in the Past B．Farms in the City C．A Way to Live D．Young Farmers D It’s commonly said that flying is safer than riding a bus or train. While this is true, flying still has some risks. One risk is bird strikes (击)—when a plane hits a bird while flying. Bird strikes usually happen when a plane is taking off or landing. In 2022, there were 16,960 animal strikes in the US and most of them were bird strikes. Although most bird strikes do not damage (破坏) planes, some can be very serious. In 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 hit a group of birds after taking off. Both of its engines (引擎) stopped working, and the plane had to land on the Hudson River in New York City. Big birds can cause a lot of damage, but even small birds can break windows. Sadly, bird strikes almost always end up killing the birds. To stop bird strikes, airports use many ways. For example, some use loud sounds to drive birds away, and others remove birds’ food source (来源) and homes by covering grassy areas. However, birds can get used to loud sounds, and covering green land is bad for the environment. Now, airports are trying new ideas. At Salt Lake City Airport, people let pigs eat the eggs of nearby birds. At Southwest Florida Airport, people use dogs to drive birds away. Some airports even use special ways to find birds. With these new ideas, people hope to keep birds away from planes and make flying safer in the future. 56．When do bird strikes usually happen? A．When a plane is flying above clouds. B．When a plane is flying near grassy areas. C．When a plane is taking off or landing. D．When a plane is preparing to take off. 57．Why did the writer write Paragraph 3? A．To explain how bird strikes happen. B．To introduce the dangers of bird strikes. C．To show how airports try to stop bird strikes. D．To tell most bird strikes do not damage planes. 58．What does the underlined word “remove” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Tidy up B．Search for C．Take away D．Give away 59．How does Salt Lake City Airport stop bird strikes? A．By using dogs to drive birds away. B．By letting pigs eat the eggs of birds. C．By using special ways to find birds. D．By making loud sounds to drive birds away. 60．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The Safety of Flying B．New Ideas at Airports C．The Danger of Birds near Airports D．Bird Strikes and Ways to Stop Them E 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中，选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺，结构完整.

However, many wild animals are facing the danger of dying out, 76 the environment where they are living has changed greatly. 77 example, their living area has become smaller and smaller because of the development of cities and pollution. They have no room to live in except zoos. And many of the wild animals now can’t find enough food to eat. At 78 same time, people kill animals just for their skin, teeth and meat. 79 (thousand) of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds of animals in the United States alone are considered in 80 (dangerous). Every animal has 81 (it) place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. People should realize how 82 (seriously) the situation is and something should be done to protect the animals. We are supposed to set up some nature reserves (自然保护区) so that animals can live 83 (free). If we don’t take action, the situation will be more and more serious. We are not alone on earth. We human beings could not live without all the plants and animals around us. So 84 (protect) wild animals is very important. We must take measures to keep plants from being destroyed and stop animals from being killed. If each of us can plant a tree and build a bird house, the world will be 85 (much) beautiful. It is very easy but useful. 七、完成句子 86．然而，并不是每个人都懂得青蛙在自然界的重要性。 , not everyone understands frogs’ . 87．为了贮存蜂蜜，蜜蜂创造了蜂巢。 store honey, bees honeycombs. 88．实际上，如果没有蜜蜂的授粉，世界上80%的植物不可能生长。 , bees’ pollination, about 80 the plants in the world can’t grow. 89．你认为哪只蝴蝶更漂亮，这只还是那只？ do you think is beautiful, this one that one? 90．—你的折扇上面是什么？它这么漂亮！ —谢谢，它是竹子画。 —What’s on your ?
