Here are some examples. Giant pandas live in the forests in China. Outside China, they are in zoos. They eat almost only one kind of food—bamboo. Keeping a giant panda in the zoo is difficult because it must have bamboo to eat. Asian elephants have much smaller ears than African elephants. They live in the forests. There are only fewer thousand Ceylon elephants(a kind of Asian elephant) left in the world now. Tigers belong to the cat family. They get animals like deer for food. The tigers are in danger because people cut down trees and hunt them. People hunt them for their beautiful fur. In 1939, there were about 30, 000 tigers in India, but today there are fewer than 4, 000. The European otters(水獭) have soft brown fur. They are about 75 cm long. Their tails are half as long as their bodies. They have small and round ears. Today people still hunt the poor animals for their fur. 56.Why do tigers become fewer and fewer? A. Because they don't have enough food to eat. B. Because the weather is not as good as before. C. Because they can't have babies in the zoo. D. Because people destroy their living places and hunt them for their fur. 57.Which of the following is TRUE? A. It's easy to keep giant pandas in the zoo. B. Tigers can hunt big animals like lions for food. C. An African elephant's ears are much bigger than an Asian elephant's. D. The European otter has small and long ears. 58.What can we know from the material? A. People begin to protect the European otters. B. The number of the European otters is becoming smaller and smaller. C. All the animals in danger need to live in zoos. D. People begin to plant trees so the tigers will have enough places to live. 【答案】D、C、B 【解析】世界上有很多种动物处于危险之中。本文分别介绍了大熊猫、亚洲象、老虎和欧洲水獭这四种动物的生存现状。 56. 细节理解题。根据“The tigers are in danger because people cut down trees and hunt them. People hunt them for their beautiful fur.”可知，老虎越来越少是因为人们破坏了它们的生存环境并猎杀它们来获取毛皮。 57. 细节理解题。根据“Asian elephants have much smaller ears than African elephants.”可知，非洲象的耳朵要比亚洲象的耳朵大得多。 58. 推理判断题。根据“Today people still hunt the poor animals for their fur.”可知，现在人们仍然猎杀欧洲水獭，因此它们的数量越来越少。 B Long long ago, when God first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept moving. Then God pulled the tree out and planted it upside down to make sure it stayed in one place. What’s the tree? It’s the baobab tree, also called the monkey bread tree, bottle tree or others. The baobab tree is a strange-looking tree that grows in Africa and Australia. Just like its name "bottle tree", it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as a 11-floor building. During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks (树干) sticking up in the air. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later the flowers can turn into fruit. Baobabs are called "the tree of life", because they can live longer than 1,000 years old. In the dry land, the baobab can hold up to 120,000 liters of water. Thirsty people can drink the water stored in the tree. The fruit, monkey bread, is good to eat. Baobab leaves are a kind of medicine. People can use the bark (树皮) to make paper or cloth. When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is such a useful tree that some people could hardly live without it. 59.How does the writer begin the text? A. By asking a question. B. By showing a story. C. By singing a song. D. By giving an example. 60.Which word is close to the meaning of the underlined word "hollow" in paragraph 3? A. Dirty. B. Modern. C. Empty. D. Useful. 61.What’s the best title of the passage? A. God and the Baobab B. What Does the Baobab Like in a Year? C. Baobabs’ Trunks, Leaves and Fruit D. A Special Tree—the Baobab 【答案】B、C、D 【解析】【文章大意】本文主要介绍了非洲和澳大利亚特有的奇特树木——猴面包树。 59. 开篇方式题。根据第一段中的“Long long ago, when God first planted a tree in the garden…”可知，作者以一个故事开头。故选B。 60. 词义猜测题。根据“When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people.”可知，树干会变成空心的，因此可以容纳人，故画线单词“hollow”的意思为“中空的”，与“empty”意思相近，故选C。 61. 最佳标题题。本文详细介绍了猴面包树的特点和重要性，因此最佳标题为“特殊的树——猴面包树”。故选D。 C We all need purpose in our lives. And so do dogs. Work is good for us. While holidays are great, after a while, we can miss our sense of routine, of duty and purpose. This is what happened to the German Shepherd, Dorka. She was a bomb-detection (探测炸弹的) dog with the US Army in Afghanistan. Every day, with her owner Monte, she would look for bombs to protect the soldiers (士兵). When the dog and her owner’s duties were over, Monte brought Dorka home with him. But he soon found that Dorka was sad. In fact, she was depressed. She missed her job and the sense of purpose it gave her. Her owner tried different things to cheer her up but nothing seemed to work. Then he had an idea. He began hiding objects for Dorka to find. The objects had a similar smell to what Dorka had been trained to look for. He’d hide them under parked cars or other hidden places. On their walks, it would be Dorka’s job to find these hidden objects. Soon, Monte noticed Dorka’s ears stand up and that her youthful energy had returned. “I immediately saw she was back to her happy self,” said Monte in a video he made for their TikTok channel, shared by the animal lovers’ site, The Dodo. “Seeing her happy makes me happy,” said Monte in the video. But why did this make Dorka so happy? It seems that she once again felt her purpose in life. Dorka had kept Monte safe in the war, and now Monte was looking after Dorka. What a beautiful friendship Monte and Dorka share! 62.Why did Dorka become depressed after returning from Afghanistan? A. Because she missed her owner. B. Because she missed her fellow soldier dogs. C. Because her injuries stopped her doing her job. D. Because she missed her job and sense of purpose. 63.How did Monte try to cheer up Dorka? A. He took her on long walks. B. He drove her around and gave her toys. C. He started hiding objects for her to find. D. He protected her by hiding her away. 64.What was the result of Monte’s idea? A. Dorka became even more depressed. B. Dorka didn’t seem to notice the hidden objects. C. Dorka’s energy and happiness returned. D. Dorka couldn’t live a normal life without Monte. 65.What point does the author express in this story? A. The importance of having purpose in life. B. The cruelty of making use of dogs in wars. C. Dogs wish to have human friends. D. The influence of depression on animals. 【答案】D、C、C、A 【解析】【文章大意】本文通过讲述德国牧羊犬Dorka的故事来告诉我们人生目标的重要性。 62. 细节理解题。根据“In fact, she was depressed. She missed her job and the sense of purpose it gave her.”可知，是因为她想念她的工作和使命感。故选D。 63. 细节理解题。根据“He began hiding objects for Dorka to find.”可知，Monte通过开始藏东西让Dorka去找来鼓舞她。故选C。 64. 细节理解题。根据“Soon, Monte noticed Dorka’s ears stand up and that her youthful energy had returned.”可知，很快Dorka的精力和快乐就又回来了。故选C。 65. 主旨大意题。根据“We all need purpose in our lives.

From 1946 to 1986, about 340,000 whales were killed. People worry that children in the future can only see whales in pictures. They believe all kinds of whale hunting (捕猎) should be stopped before it is too late. Some people are trying to stop whale hunting all over the world. But they fail to notice one fact. Whale hunting was going on for a long time before the number of whales went down and became a problem. Whale hunting started as early as 1,500 years ago. This was how tribespeople (部落成员) fed their families. They hunted whales for meat because almost nothing could grow on their land. They also made whale fat into oil and used it to make candles or oil lamps. Over the years, whale hunting became their way of living, and even part of who they are. Tribe whale hunting is not the thing we should worry about. Of all the whales that were killed over the past forty years, only 10% were hunted by tribespeople. The other 90% died at the hands of the money—making hunting business. When we try to stop all kinds of whale hunting, we should think what we are asking tribespeople to give up and whether this is the best answer to the problem of whale hunting. 66.What is the main idea of paragraph 1? A. The problem of whale hunting. B. The reason of whale hunting. C. The process of whale hunting. D. The rule of whale hunting. 67.What does the underlined word "fact" refer to in paragraph 2? A. About 340,000 whales died from 1946 to 1986 because of whale hunting. B. Some people worry that whales will die out and try to stop whale hunting. C. Whale hunting started early before the number of whales dropped rapidly. D. Whale hunting was always seen in newspapers before people noticed that. 68.Why did tribespeople hunt whales according to the passage? A. Because they believed whales could bring good luck. B. Because they wanted to sell whale oil to make money. C. Because whales often made tribespeople seriously hurt. D. Because there was almost nothing to eat on the land. 69.Which idea may the writer probably agree with? A. We should stop all kinds of whale hunting right away. B. There is no need to worry about the number of whales. C. Tribespeople’s way of living is as important as animal lives. D. The whaling business can make tribespeople’s lives better. 【答案】A、C、D、C 【解析】【文章大意】多年来，鲸鱼的数量急剧下降，从1946年到1986年，大约有34万头鲸鱼被捕杀。人们担心未来的孩子只能从图片上看到鲸鱼。一些人正设法阻止各种形式的捕鲸，但是对于一些以捕鲸为生的部落来说，这种禁止一切捕鲸行为的措施是否是解决捕鲸问题的最佳答案呢？ 66. 通读第一段可知，该段用数字说明了鲸鱼数量下降这个问题的严重性，人们认为应该停止捕鲸。由此可知，本段主要介绍了捕鲸问题。故选A。 67. 根据第二段中的But they fail to notice one fact. Whale hunting was going on for a  long time before the number of whales went down and became a  problem.（但他们没有注意到一个事实。在鲸鱼数量减少并成为一个问题之前，捕鲸已经进行了很长时间。）可知，fact指的就是“在鲸鱼数量迅速下降之前，捕鲸活动很早就开始了”。故选C。 68. 根据第三段中的They hunted whales for meat because almost nothing could grow on their land.可知，部落成员捕杀鲸鱼是为了吃肉，因为他们的土地上几乎什么都长不出来。故选D。 69. 根据最后一段中的When we try to stop...whether this is the best answer to the problem of whale hunting.（当我们试图停止各种各样的捕鲸行为时，我们应该思考我们在要求部落的人们放弃什么，以及这是否是解决捕鲸问题的最佳答案。）可知，作者认为停止捕鲸的同时，也应该考虑部落人民的生存问题，这个问题同样重要。故选C。 E Have you heard of a cloud forest? Is it the same as a rainforest? Actually, it's a very special kind of forest in cloudy mountains. There, clouds brush against trees and wet their leaves. Rain falls almost every day. Hundreds of mosses (苔藓) grow and cover everything like a soft green coat. Plants of cloud forests live in an unusual way. They grow on the branches of trees instead of on the ground. The air is very damp(潮湿的), so plants can get all the water they need from the fog and rain. They live on the high parts of trees so that they can get more light to grow stronger. There are many kinds of special animals in cloud forests. For example, tree kangaroos live in trees like monkeys. They use their long tails to balance just as monkeys do. Frogs have suckers (吸盘) on their toes so they can climb up trees and cross leaves easily. Many other special animals are waiting for us to discover, aren't they? Cloud forests are important to people. They give us healthy food crops, such as wild beans, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and strawberries. Furthermore, they offer new medicine to treat cancer. Unluckily, the beautiful forests are in danger now. Why? Firstly, the climate is getting warmer, but plants and animals in cloud forests like to live in a cool place. It's difficult for them to find a proper place to live. Secondly, people cut down many trees to plant crops or feed cows. The animals are losing their homes. Once cloud forests are gone, there must be a huge loss to humans. Save the cloud forests before it's too late! 70.According to the passage, many things live in cloud forests, including ________. ①mosses  ②blueberries  ③frogs with suckers  ④monkeys  ⑤tree kangaroos A. ①②③ B. ①③⑤ C. ②④⑤ D. ③④⑤ 71.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. We can use healthy food crops to make medicine for headaches. B. Hundreds of mosses grow because it’s always sunny in cloud forests. C. The animals are losing their homes because people cut down many trees. D. Plants need more water to become strong so they grow on the high parts of trees. 72.What's the main purpose of this passage? A. To save the cloud forests. B. To introduce plants in cloud forests. C. To describe the cloud forests. D. To discover animals in cloud forests. 【答案】B、C、A 【解析】【文章大意】本文主要介绍了云雾林里的动植物以及云雾林现在面临的危机，呼吁人们保护云雾林。 70. 根据第一段中的“Hundreds of mosses grow…”以及第三段中的“For example, tree kangaroos live… Frogs have suckers…”可知，文章中提到云雾林里的苔藓、树袋鼠和有吸盘的青蛙。故选B。 71. 根据第四段中的“… people cut down many trees to plant crops or feed cows. The animals are losing their homes.”可知，人类砍伐树木，导致动物们失去了家园。故选C。 72. 根据最后一段中的“Save the cloud forests before itˈs too late!”可知，作者想要呼吁人们关注云雾林，拯救云雾林。故选A。 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。 F After a 10-year project to count tuna (金枪鱼) and other large fish in the world's oceans, scientists have made a very surprising discovery: these fish are almost gone. Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don't act, these animals will totally disappear. That will do harm to every animal in the ocean. The need for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster (灾难) to our oceans. "People are using too much," says Lance Morgan, a scientist at Marine Conservation Institute. A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean's food chain (链) breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food. The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn't happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment. "If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs," says Morgan. "Then decide what you're going to eat." 73. Why are large fish almost gone?（不超过5词） _______________________________________________________________________________ 74. What are the reasons that people like eating fish?（不超过20词） _______________________________________________________________________________ 75. What might happen to sharks if tuna disappear?（不超过10词） _______________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】73. Because of too much fishing. 74. Because doctors praise seafood for being low in fat and almost a billion people get their protein mostly from fish. 75. Sharks may die (because they find no food). 【解析】【文章大意】本文通过描述对金枪鱼的研究，号召人们停止过度捕捞，保护海洋生物。  73. 根据文章第一段中的“Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared.”可知，因为过度捕捞，大鱼几乎消失。 74. 根据文章第二段中的“Almost a billion people around the world get their protein mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat.”可知，人们喜欢吃鱼的原因是其脂肪含量低，近10亿人主要从鱼类中获取蛋白质。 75. 根据第三段中的“When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem… Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food.”可知，如果金枪鱼消失，鲨鱼可能会因为找不到食物而死。 第四部分 写（共两大题，满分25分） IX. 单词拼写（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 76.It’s so lucky that her quick a           （行动）saves the child’s life. 【答案】action 【解析】句意：非常幸运的是，她快速的行动救了这个孩子一命。action，行动，名词，谓语动词为单数形式，故填action。 77.The c           （气候）here was not as warm as you thought. 【答案】climate 【解析】句意：这儿的气候没有你想的那么温暖。climate，气候，名词，谓语动词为was，单数形式，故填climate。 78.Tom is looking for some t           （工具）to fix his watch. 【答案】tools 【解析】句意：汤姆正在寻找一些工具来修理他的手表。tool，工具，可数名词，前有some修饰，故填tools。 79.The hole in her T-shirt is so t           （很小的）that we can hardly see it. 【答案】tiny 【解析】句意：她的体恤衫上的洞非常小以至于我们很难看到它。tiny，很小的，形容词。故填tiny。 80.A good learner often c           （联系）what he has learnt with something interesting. 【答案】connects 【解析】句意：一个优秀的学习者经常把他已学的东西狠一些有趣的东西联系起来。connect，联系，动词，主语为第三人称单数，故填connects。 X. 书面表达（共1小题；满分20分） 81.同学们，大家都知道植物对我们人类、动物以及周围环境都非常重要，假如你叫李华，请你根据以下思维导图提示，以“The Importance of Plants”为题，从三个方面谈论一下植物的重要性，呼吁大家要爱护花草树木。 要求： 1．参考提示内容，可适当发挥； 2．语句通顺，意思连贯，书写工整； 3．文中不得出现你的任何真实信息； 4．词数不少于80，开头已给出，不计入总词数。 The Importance of Plants We all know, plants are very important for our humans, animals and the environment we live in.

Adult male (雄的) bees    (36)    more time playing with the balls than adult female (雌的) bees did. There were 45 bees in the tests. They had two    (37)   .

VIII. 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 A Many kinds of animals are in danger now. Here are some examples. Giant pandas live in the forests in China. Outside China, they are in zoos. They eat almost only one kind of food—bamboo. Keeping a giant panda in the zoo is difficult because it must have bamboo to eat. Asian elephants have much smaller ears than African elephants. They live in the forests. There are only fewer thousand Ceylon elephants(a kind of Asian elephant) left in the world now. Tigers belong to the cat family. They get animals like deer for food. The tigers are in danger because people cut down trees and hunt them. People hunt them for their beautiful fur. In 1939, there were about 30, 000 tigers in India, but today there are fewer than 4, 000. The European otters(水獭) have soft brown fur. They are about 75 cm long.

B Long long ago, when God first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept moving. Then God pulled the tree out and planted it upside down to make sure it stayed in one place. What’s the tree? It’s the baobab tree, also called the monkey bread tree, bottle tree or others. The baobab tree is a strange-looking tree that grows in Africa and Australia. Just like its name "bottle tree", it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as a 11-floor building. During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks (树干) sticking up in the air. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later the flowers can turn into fruit. Baobabs are called "the tree of life", because they can live longer than 1,000 years old. In the dry land, the baobab can hold up to 120,000 liters of water. Thirsty people can drink the water stored in the tree. The fruit, monkey bread, is good to eat. Baobab leaves are a kind of medicine. People can use the bark (树皮) to make paper or cloth. When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is such a useful tree that some people could hardly live without it. 59.How does the writer begin the text? A. By asking a question. B. By showing a story. C. By singing a song. D. By giving an example. 60.Which word is close to the meaning of the underlined word "hollow" in paragraph 3? A. Dirty. B. Modern. C. Empty. D. Useful. 61.What’s the best title of the passage? A. God and the Baobab B. What Does the Baobab Like in a Year? C. Baobabs’ Trunks, Leaves and Fruit D. A Special Tree—the Baobab C We all need purpose in our lives. And so do dogs. Work is good for us. While holidays are great, after a while, we can miss our sense of routine, of duty and purpose. This is what happened to the German Shepherd, Dorka. She was a bomb-detection (探测炸弹的) dog with the US Army in Afghanistan. Every day, with her owner Monte, she would look for bombs to protect the soldiers (士兵). When the dog and her owner’s duties were over, Monte brought Dorka home with him. But he soon found that Dorka was sad. In fact, she was depressed. She missed her job and the sense of purpose it gave her. Her owner tried different things to cheer her up but nothing seemed to work. Then he had an idea. He began hiding objects for Dorka to find. The objects had a similar smell to what Dorka had been trained to look for. He’d hide them under parked cars or other hidden places. On their walks, it would be Dorka’s job to find these hidden objects. Soon, Monte noticed Dorka’s ears stand up and that her youthful energy had returned. “I immediately saw she was back to her happy self,” said Monte in a video he made for their TikTok channel, shared by the animal lovers’ site, The Dodo. “Seeing her happy makes me happy,” said Monte in the video. But why did this make Dorka so happy? It seems that she once again felt her purpose in life. Dorka had kept Monte safe in the war, and now Monte was looking after Dorka. What a beautiful friendship Monte and Dorka share! 62.Why did Dorka become depressed after returning from Afghanistan? A. Because she missed her owner. B. Because she missed her fellow soldier dogs. C. Because her injuries stopped her doing her job. D. Because she missed her job and sense of purpose. 63.How did Monte try to cheer up Dorka? A. He took her on long walks. B. He drove her around and gave her toys. C. He started hiding objects for her to find. D. He protected her by hiding her away. 64.What was the result of Monte’s idea? A. Dorka became even more depressed. B. Dorka didn’t seem to notice the hidden objects. C. Dorka’s energy and happiness returned. D. Dorka couldn’t live a normal life without Monte. 65.What point does the author express in this story? A. The importance of having purpose in life. B. The cruelty of making use of dogs in wars. C. Dogs wish to have human friends. D. The influence of depression on animals. D Over the years, the number of whales has dropped rapidly. From 1946 to 1986, about 340,000 whales were killed. People worry that children in the future can only see whales in pictures. They believe all kinds of whale hunting (捕猎) should be stopped before it is too late. Some people are trying to stop whale hunting all over the world. But they fail to notice one fact. Whale hunting was going on for a long time before the number of whales went down and became a problem. Whale hunting started as early as 1,500 years ago. This was how tribespeople (部落成员) fed their families. They hunted whales for meat because almost nothing could grow on their land. They also made whale fat into oil and used it to make candles or oil lamps. Over the years, whale hunting became their way of living, and even part of who they are. Tribe whale hunting is not the thing we should worry about. Of all the whales that were killed over the past forty years, only 10% were hunted by tribespeople. The other 90% died at the hands of the money—making hunting business. When we try to stop all kinds of whale hunting, we should think what we are asking tribespeople to give up and whether this is the best answer to the problem of whale hunting. 66.What is the main idea of paragraph 1? A. The problem of whale hunting. B. The reason of whale hunting. C. The process of whale hunting. D. The rule of whale hunting. 67.What does the underlined word "fact" refer to in paragraph 2? A. About 340,000 whales died from 1946 to 1986 because of whale hunting. B. Some people worry that whales will die out and try to stop whale hunting. C. Whale hunting started early before the number of whales dropped rapidly. D. Whale hunting was always seen in newspapers before people noticed that. 68.Why did tribespeople hunt whales according to the passage? A. Because they believed whales could bring good luck. B. Because they wanted to sell whale oil to make money. C. Because whales often made tribespeople seriously hurt. D. Because there was almost nothing to eat on the land. 69.Which idea may the writer probably agree with? A. We should stop all kinds of whale hunting right away. B. There is no need to worry about the number of whales. C. Tribespeople’s way of living is as important as animal lives. D. The whaling business can make tribespeople’s lives better. E Have you heard of a cloud forest? Is it the same as a rainforest? Actually, it's a very special kind of forest in cloudy mountains. There, clouds brush against trees and wet their leaves. Rain falls almost every day. Hundreds of mosses (苔藓) grow and cover everything like a soft green coat. Plants of cloud forests live in an unusual way. They grow on the branches of trees instead of on the ground. The air is very damp(潮湿的), so plants can get all the water they need from the fog and rain. They live on the high parts of trees so that they can get more light to grow stronger. There are many kinds of special animals in cloud forests. For example, tree kangaroos live in trees like monkeys. They use their long tails to balance just as monkeys do. Frogs have suckers (吸盘) on their toes so they can climb up trees and cross leaves easily. Many other special animals are waiting for us to discover, aren't they? Cloud forests are important to people. They give us healthy food crops, such as wild beans, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and strawberries. Furthermore, they offer new medicine to treat cancer. Unluckily, the beautiful forests are in danger now. Why? Firstly, the climate is getting warmer, but plants and animals in cloud forests like to live in a cool place. It's difficult for them to find a proper place to live. Secondly, people cut down many trees to plant crops or feed cows. The animals are losing their homes. Once cloud forests are gone, there must be a huge loss to humans. Save the cloud forests before it's too late! 70.According to the passage, many things live in cloud forests, including ________. ①mosses  ②blueberries  ③frogs with suckers  ④monkeys  ⑤tree kangaroos A. ①②③ B. ①③⑤ C. ②④⑤ D. ③④⑤ 71.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. We can use healthy food crops to make medicine for headaches. B. Hundreds of mosses grow because it’s always sunny in cloud forests. C. The animals are losing their homes because people cut down many trees. D. Plants need more water to become strong so they grow on the high parts of trees. 72.What's the main purpose of this passage? A. To save the cloud forests. B. To introduce plants in cloud forests. C. To describe the cloud forests. D. To discover animals in cloud forests. 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。 F After a 10-year project to count tuna (金枪鱼) and other large fish in the world's oceans, scientists have made a very surprising discovery: these fish are almost gone. Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don't act, these animals will totally disappear. That will do harm to every animal in the ocean. The need for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster (灾难) to our oceans. "People are using too much," says Lance Morgan, a scientist at Marine Conservation Institute. A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean's food chain (链) breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food. The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn't happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment. "If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs," says Morgan. "Then decide what you're going to eat." 73.

VIII. 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 A Many kinds of animals are in danger now. Here are some examples. Giant pandas live in the forests in China. Outside China, they are in zoos. They eat almost only one kind of food—bamboo. Keeping a giant panda in the zoo is difficult because it must have bamboo to eat. Asian elephants have much smaller ears than African elephants. They live in the forests. There are only fewer thousand Ceylon elephants(a kind of Asian elephant) left in the world now. Tigers belong to the cat family. They get animals like deer for food. The tigers are in danger because people cut down trees and hunt them. People hunt them for their beautiful fur. In 1939, there were about 30, 000 tigers in India, but today there are fewer than 4, 000. The European otters(水獭) have soft brown fur. They are about 75 cm long. Their tails are half as long as their bodies. They have small and round ears. Today people still hunt the poor animals for their fur. 56.Why do tigers become fewer and fewer? A. Because they don't have enough food to eat. B. Because the weather is not as good as before. C. Because they can't have babies in the zoo. D. Because people destroy their living places and hunt them for their fur. 57.Which of the following is TRUE? A. It's easy to keep giant pandas in the zoo. B. Tigers can hunt big animals like lions for food. C. An African elephant's ears are much bigger than an Asian elephant's. D. The European otter has small and long ears. 58.What can we know from the material? A. People begin to protect the European otters. B. The number of the European otters is becoming smaller and smaller. C. All the animals in danger need to live in zoos. D. People begin to plant trees so the tigers will have enough places to live.

E Have you heard of a cloud forest? Is it the same as a rainforest? Actually, it's a very special kind of forest in cloudy mountains. There, clouds brush against trees and wet their leaves. Rain falls almost every day. Hundreds of mosses (苔藓) grow and cover everything like a soft green coat. Plants of cloud forests live in an unusual way. They grow on the branches of trees instead of on the ground. The air is very damp(潮湿的), so plants can get all the water they need from the fog and rain. They live on the high parts of trees so that they can get more light to grow stronger. There are many kinds of special animals in cloud forests. For example, tree kangaroos live in trees like monkeys. They use their long tails to balance just as monkeys do. Frogs have suckers (吸盘) on their toes so they can climb up trees and cross leaves easily. Many other special animals are waiting for us to discover, aren't they? Cloud forests are important to people. They give us healthy food crops, such as wild beans, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and strawberries. Furthermore, they offer new medicine to treat cancer. Unluckily, the beautiful forests are in danger now. Why? Firstly, the climate is getting warmer, but plants and animals in cloud forests like to live in a cool place. It's difficult for them to find a proper place to live. Secondly, people cut down many trees to plant crops or feed cows. The animals are losing their homes. Once cloud forests are gone, there must be a huge loss to humans. Save the cloud forests before it's too late! 70.According to the passage, many things live in cloud forests, including ________. ①mosses  ②blueberries  ③frogs with suckers  ④monkeys  ⑤tree kangaroos A. ①②③ B. ①③⑤ C. ②④⑤ D. ③④⑤ 71.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. To save the cloud forests. B. To introduce plants in cloud forests. C. To describe the cloud forests. D. To discover animals in cloud forests. 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。 F After a 10-year project to count tuna (金枪鱼) and other large fish in the world's oceans, scientists have made a very surprising discovery: these fish are almost gone. Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don't act, these animals will totally disappear. That will do harm to every animal in the ocean. The need for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster (灾难) to our oceans. "People are using too much," says Lance Morgan, a scientist at Marine Conservation Institute. A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean's food chain (链) breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food. The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn't happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment. "If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs," says Morgan. "Then decide what you're going to eat." 73.
