期中复习之阅读回答问题10篇 （Units 1-2单元话题） 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下每单元依次对应5篇单元话题专题训练 单元 单元话题 Unit 1 The Changing World 时代变迁 Unit 2 Saving the Earth 环境保护 Most new babies were born in the developing countries. These countries are found in Africa, South America and parts of Asia. In the developed countries of Europe and North America, the population is growing very slowly. This is because women in these countries have, on average (平均), only one or two children. In the developing countries, many women have five or more children. In 1950, about one quarter of the world’s population lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be home to only about one tenth of the world’s people. In the developing countries, more than one billion people are still living below the poverty (贫困) line. These people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing conditions. Children get little time at school and suffer (遭受痛苦) from many kinds of diseases. At the beginning of the 21st century, the world’s population was around six billion. The U.N. has said that the world’s population will level off (趋于平稳) at 12.5 billion by the year 2100. Other groups think the world’s population will continue to grow, reaching 14 billion before it becomes stable (稳定的), or even falls. 1．Were most new babies born in the developed countries? 2．In 1950, what percent of the world’s population lived in the developing countries? 3．What are the living conditions of the people living below the poverty line? 4．China is also facing the problem of decline (减少) in newborns, please come up with one or two ways to solve the problem. (about 30 words) 【答案】1．No, they weren’t. 2．About 75%. 3．They do not have enough food to eat, live in poor housing conditions, their children get little time at school and suffer from many kinds of diseases. 4．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：The government can give money to families with children to help them. Also, if childcare services are better and cost less, parents will be more willing to have babies. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过数据对比和事实陈述，介绍全球人口分布 (发展中国家与发达国家的新生儿数量、人口占比差异)、发展中国家的贫困现状及未来全球人口增长趋势。 1．根据第一段“Most new babies were born in the developing countries.”可知，大多数新生儿出生在发展中国家，而不是发达国家；因此这里应作否定回答。故填No, they weren’t. 2．根据第一段“In 1950, about one quarter of the world's population lived in the developed countries.”可知，1950年，约四分之一的世界人口居住在发达国家；据此可以推断，居住在发展中国家的人口约占四分之三，即about 75%。故填About 75%. 3．根据第二段“In the developing countries, more than one billion people are still living below the poverty line. These people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing conditions. Children get little time at school and suffer from many kinds of diseases.”可知，生活在贫困线以下的人们没有足够的食物，住房条件差，孩子受教育时间短以及遭受疾病困扰。故填They do not have enough food to eat, live in poor housing conditions, their children get little time at school and suffer from many kinds of diseases. 4．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：The government can give money to families with children to help them. Also, if childcare services are better and cost less, parents will be more willing to have babies. 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 The population of the world continues to increase, but in some areas the population is falling. This is true in Europe and especially in Eastern Europe. In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people every hour! In Poland the population is also falling because the people are leaving to work in other countries. One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. All over Europe people, especially educated women, have a different attitude to children from their parents. “I have one child and she is enough for me,” said Galina, a doctor from Moscow. Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. “I don’t want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years,” said 19-year-old student Hana from Prague. Her opinion is typical of 18—24-year-old women everywhere in Europe. In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France, women now receive nearly $1000 a month for a year if they have a third child. 1．What does Galina do? 2．Doesn’t Hana want to have any children at all? 3．Why is the population in Poland going down? (写出一条原因即可) 4．How does the French government encourage people to have larger families now? 5．Is a population decline (下降) in some areas good or bad? Why or why not? 【答案】1．A doctor./A doctor from Moscow./She is a doctor. 2．No, she doesn’t. 3．Because the people are leaving to work in other countries./A lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad./More than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. 4．In France, women now receive nearly $1000 a month for a year if they have a third child./By giving money. 5．I think it’s good. Because it’s easier for us to find jobs in the future./I think it’s bad. Because it can bring some social problems… (答案合理即可） 【导语】本文主要介绍了一些欧洲国家人口下降的现状、原因以及政府为此采取的措施。 1．根据“‘I have one child and she is enough for me,’ said Galina, a doctor from Moscow.”可知，此处是指Galina是一名来自莫斯科的医生。故填A doctor./A doctor from Moscow./She is a doctor. 2．根据“‘I don’t want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years,’ said 19-year-old student Hana from Prague.”可知，此处是指Hana并不是完全不想要孩子，而是希望工作10年后再考虑。故填No, she doesn’t. 3．根据“In Poland the population is also falling because the people are leaving to work in other countries.”及“In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad.”可知，此处是指波兰人口下降的原因：人们离开波兰去其他国家工作；很多人（通常年龄在20岁到30岁之间）正在离开这个国家去国外工作。又根据“Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy.”可知，此处是指波兰于2005年加入欧盟，自那以后，已有超过50万人移居英国、德国、西班牙和意大利。故填Because the people are leaving to work in other countries./A lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad./More than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. 4．根据“In France, women now receive nearly $1000 a month for a year if they have a third child.”可知，此处是指生育第三个孩子的女性可以获得每月近1000美元，为期一年的补贴。故填In France, women now receive nearly $1000 a month for a year if they have a third child./By giving money. 5．根据常识可知，人口下降的好处：好找工作。人口下降的坏处：它可能带来社会问题。故填I think it’s good. Because it’s easier for us to find jobs in the future./I think it’s bad. Because it can bring some social problems… (答案合理即可） 阅读下面短文，然后根据文章内容简要回答第1至5小题，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应位置。 During the holiday, some students are busy with travelling, camps and all kinds of courses. But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to experience life outside school. Twelve students sold vegetables at a local market in a big city together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1,500 yuan. Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural areas. “Compared with travelling, such social practice makes us learn how tough our parents are,” said Dalin, 18, a senior high graduate (毕业生), to The City Morning Post. Dalin and her 12-year-old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea. They worked hard to sell their vegetables. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o’clock. Some of them went to the farmers’ market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall (临时摊位). To lower the cost, they learned to bargain (讲价) with the sellers. At about 6:30 am, they began to sell vegetables. They peddled (吆喝) loudly to attract customers. After several days, they got some experience, too. For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. If the vegetables were too heavy, they would give customers an extra plastic bag. After they finally packed up and went home, they had a short meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings. “We are tired but happy,” said Dalin, “because we gain a lot.” 1．What are some students busy with? (no more than 7 words) 2．How much did the twelve students make within 12 days? (no more than 4 words) 3．Did Dalin and her brother come up with a idea of selling vegetables? (no more than 3 words) 4．When did they begin to sell vegetables? (no more than 4 words) 5．How do they feel about this social practice?

In 2022, India had more than 1. 412 billion people, which was very close to China’s population of 1. 426 billion people. India’s population is expected to grow to almost 1. 43 billion by the middle of the year, surpassing China’s. One of the main reasons for this rapid growth is that many babies are born in India every year, more than in any other country, Time magazine noted. Having a big population can be good for the economy（经济）because more people can work and earn（赚钱）money, which can lead to economic growth, the Associated Press noted. More companies from other countries and regions may come to India because of this. However, having a big population can also be challenging because there might not be enough resources（资源）like food, healthcare and education for everyone. CNN stated that it could also be hard for people to find jobs because so many people are looking for work. According to a 2021 report from the World Bank, India’s labor force participation rate（劳动力参与率）,  which is the proportion（比例） of the active labor force in the working-age population, is 46 percent-the lowest in Asia. Despite these challenges, India is still a country with many opportunities for growth. Many companies are choosing to set up factories in India to make things like mobile phones and semiconductors（半导体）. Morgan Stanley, the investment bank, said that India will have unprecedented（前所未有的）economic growth and become the world’s third-biggest economy by 2027. 1．How big will the India’s population be by the middle of this year? 2．Why is India’s population increasing quickly? 3．What is the labor force participation rate? 4．What is Morgan Stanley’s prediction about India’s future economy? 5．What do you think of the large population in India? 【答案】1．Almost 1. 43 billion. 2．Many babies are born in India every year. 3．It is the proportion of the active labor force in the working-age population. 4．India will have unprecedented economic growth and will become the world’s third-biggest economy by 2027. 5．It is good for the economy./It may be a big problem in the future. 【导语】本文主要介绍了印度的人口增长，及其带来的好处与坏处。 1．根据第一段“India’s population is expected to grow to almost 1. 43 billion by the middle of the year, surpassing China’s.”可知，印度的人口预计将增长到近14.3亿，故填Almost 1. 43 billion. 2．根据第二段“One of the main reasons for this rapid growth is that many babies are born in India every year”可知，这种快速增长的主要原因之一是印度每年都有许多婴儿出生，故填Many babies are born in India every year. 3．根据“India’s labor force participation rate, which is the proportion of the active labor force in the working-age population”可知，劳动力参与率就是是劳动年龄人口中活跃劳动力的比例，故填It is the proportion of the active labor force in the working-age population. 4．根据“Morgan Stanley, the investment bank, said that India will have unprecedented economic growth and become the world’s third-biggest economy by 2027.”可知，印度将实现前所未有的经济增长，到2027年讲成为世界第三大经济体，故填India will have unprecedented economic growth and will become the world’s third-biggest economy by 2027. 5．根据“Having a big population can be good for the economy”和“However, having a big population can also be challenging because there might not be enough resources like food, healthcare and education for everyone.”可知，人口众多可能对经济有利，但也可能因为没有足够的资源，如食物、医疗保健和教育供每个人使用而成为未来的一个大问题，故填It is good for the economy./It may be a big problem in the future. When I was young, Mother’s Day was more important than any other festival in my family. It was exciting in the house at this time. This was thanks to my father. He made sure that his kids showed much love for their mother. He asked us to clean the house and make it look beautiful. He told us to do things for our mother, even very small things like cooking breakfast. Mom didn’t have to do anything all day. She could have her breakfast in bed in the morning and just relax.

In 2008, the United Nations recognized June 8 as World Oceans Day. It’s a day to think about the important role that the oceans play in our lives, the dangers that are facing our oceans and the action we can take to protect them. The importance of our oceans The ocean is home to a number of animals on Earth. Marine (海洋的) plants provide us with 70% of the oxygen (氧气) we breathe. The ocean controls our climate (气候), providing heat in winter and cool air in summer. It also provides us with food and medicine. No matter where you live on the planet, your life needs depend on the ocean. The problems facing our oceans The most serious problem facing the ocean at the moment is plastic (塑料) pollution. Cutting the use of plastic bags and plastic bottles has been an important theme for World Oceans Day for a number of years. Climate change and rising sea temperatures are also huge problems. Rising sea temperatures have something to do with the weather pattern and the increase in extreme weather conditions. How to celebrate the day The day is celebrated in different ways, including special events at aquariums (水族馆) and zoos, beach and river clean-ups, school activities, art contests and film festivals. Such activities can remind people of the importance of the ocean. 1．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to? 2．According to the passage, what problems do our oceans face? 3．How do people celebrate World Oceans Day? (List one example) 4．What action can you take to protect our oceans? 【答案】1．The oceans. 2．Plastic pollution, climate change and rising sea temperatures. 3．People hold special events at aquariums and zoos. 4．I can reduce the use of plastic products. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了海洋在我们生活中的重要作用、海洋面临的危险以及人们为保护海洋可采取的行动，还提及了世界海洋日的庆祝方式。 1．根据“It’s a day to think about the important role that the oceans play in our lives, the dangers that are facing our oceans and the action we can take to protect them.”可知，这里的“them”指代的是前面提到的“the oceans”，因为是要采取行动保护海洋。故填The oceans. 2．根据“The most serious problem facing the ocean at the moment is plastic pollution. Climate change and rising sea temperatures are also huge problems.”可知，海洋面临的问题有塑料污染、气候变化以及海水温度上升。故填Plastic pollution, climate change and rising sea temperatures. 3．根据“The day is celebrated in different ways, including special events at aquariums and zoos, beach and river clean-ups, school activities, art contests and film festivals.”可知，人们庆祝世界海洋日的方式有很多，比如在水族馆和动物园举办特别活动、进行海滩和河流清理、开展学校活动、举办艺术竞赛和电影节等，任选其一即可。故填People hold special events at aquariums and zoos. 4．本题为开放性问题，结合保护海洋的实际行动回答即可，比如减少使用塑料制品、参与海洋保护宣传等。故填I can reduce the use of plastic products. Answer the questions. (根据短文内容回答问题) Do you know where your food comes from? How far do the milk, apples, coffee beans and other items you eat travel to reach you? What we eat shapes us. But the decisions we make on what we eat can also shape the world around us. Starting to check your food miles is an important step to saving the Earth. Food miles refer to the distance your food travels before it reaches you. From farm to fork, the shorter the distance, the better the food will be for your health and the environment. Food miles are a rather modern idea. Throughout most of human history, people have eaten food grown locally. But over the past few decades (十年), the world has become highly connected. We have become used to having a wide range of global foods. We buy tropical fruits rather than those grown in our local climate. We expect fresh, green products (尤指农产品) even when there is snow on the ground. When we calculate food miles, we shouldn’t just think about the exact number of miles. It depends on many factors (因素), such as how damaging these miles can be. For one thing, the mode of transportation is important. Air travel, for example, allows food to travel quickly. However, this speedy delivery system causes a carbon footprint about 50 times bigger than that of the much slower transportation of food by sea. Working out the environmental cost of what we eat can be hard. The simple truth is that most of us can do far better than what we do now. Whenever you can, buy food from local farmers and eat in-season fruits and vegetables. 1．People have been talking about food miles for the past few centuries, haven’t they? 2．According to the author, what are food miles? 3．What examples did the author use to show people’s habit of buying global food?  (Give 1 example.) 4．What are the advantage and disadvantage of transporting food by air? 5．According to the author, how can we reduce our food miles? 6．Apart from the author’s suggestions, what do you think we can do to reduce our food miles? (Give at least 2 examples.) 【答案】1．No, they haven’t. 2．The distance your food travels before it reaches you. 3．Buying tropical fruits rather than those grown in our local climate. 4．The advantage is that it allows food to travel quickly. And the disadvantage is that it causes a carbon footprint about 50 times bigger than that of the much slower transportation of food by sea. 5．We can reduce our food miles by buying food from local farmers and eating in-season fruits and vegetables. 6．We can eat less imported food and grow vegetables at home. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了“食物里程”的概念及其对环境的影响，并提出了减少食物里程的建议。 1．根据第三段“Food miles are a rather modern idea.”可知，食物里程这一理念属于现代产物，并非过去几个世纪就存在。故填No, they haven’t. 2．根据第二段“Food miles refer to the distance your food travels before it reaches you.”可知，食物里程指的是食物从产地到消费者手中的运输距离。故填The distance your food travels before it reaches you. 3．根据第三段“We buy tropical fruits rather than those grown in our local climate.”可知，作者用购买热带水果的例子来说明人们购买全球食物的习惯。故填Buying tropical fruits rather than those grown in our local climate. 4．根据第四段“Air travel, for example, allows food to travel quickly. However, this speedy delivery system causes a carbon footprint about 50 times bigger than that of the much slower transportation of food by sea.”可知，航空运输的优势是快速，劣势是碳足迹约为海运的50倍。故填The advantage is that it allows food to travel quickly. And the disadvantage is that it causes a carbon footprint about 50 times bigger than that of the much slower transportation of food by sea. 5．根据最后一段“Whenever you can, buy food from local farmers and eat in-season fruits and vegetables.”可知，作者建议通过购买本地食物和食用当季水果蔬果来减少食物里程。故填We can reduce our food miles by buying food from local farmers and eating in-season fruits and vegetables. 6．开放性作答，结合实际情况，言之成理即可。参考答案为We can eat less imported food and grow vegetables at home. 阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的词数要求）。 In recent years, plastic pollution has become one of the most serious problems around the world. Many countries have been looking for ways for a better future. On November 7, 2022, China started a “bamboo instead of plastic” activity with the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan (INBAR国际竹藤组织). This will hopefully increase the use of green bamboo products and reduce (减少) plastic pollution. Bamboo is a renewable natural resource (资源) of great value. And it can be harvested (收割) in 3 to 5 years. Normally, bamboo can be cut every year and doesn’t have to be replanted. Bamboo can be used to make different kinds of products. These products can take the place of plastic products in many fields. Even a new bamboo washing machine has been invented in some poor areas. People living there don’t have electricity or money to buy traditional washing machines. It uses the natural flow of the water as power to run the machine. It’s believed that bamboo is a harmless material. It doesn’t cause any pollution when it has to be thrown away. China is one of the countries with the richest bamboo resources in the world. The Chinese are a pioneer (先锋) in the use of bamboo. Provinces Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and Guizhou have set up companies to produce and develop bamboo products. What’s more, China is also sharing its technologies and experience to help other countries with rich bamboo resources. It is hoped that countries will work together for green development around the world. 1．When did China start the “bamboo instead of plastic” activity? (No more than 4 words.) 2．Why did China start the “bamboo instead of plastic” activity? (No more than 16 words.) 3．Is bamboo a harmful material? (No more than 4 words.) 4．What is China sharing to help other countries with rich bamboo resources? (No more than 8 words.) 5．What’s your opinion about using bamboo products? Why? 【答案】1．On November 7, 2022. 2．To increase the use of green bamboo products and reduce plastic pollution. 3．No, it isn’t. 4．Technologies and experience. 5．It’s good to use bamboo products. Because they are renewable and reduce plastic waste. 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国与国际竹藤组织共同发起“以竹代塑”倡议，在全球深化“以竹代塑”合作，增加绿色竹产品的使用比例，更好发挥竹子在代替塑料产品方面的突出优势和作用。 1．根据“On November 7, 2022, China started a ‘bamboo instead of plastic’ activity with the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan(INBAR国际竹藤组织)”可知，中国在2022年11月7日开始“以竹代塑”活动的，故填On November 7, 2022. 2．根据“This will hopefully increase the use of green bamboo products and reduce (减少) plastic pollution.”可知，是为了增加绿色竹制品的使用，减少塑料污染。故填To increase the use of green bamboo products and reduce plastic pollution. 3．根据“It’s believed that bamboo is a harmless material. It doesn’t cause any pollution when it has to be thrown away.”可知，竹子是一种无害的材料。故填No, it isn’t. 4．根据“China is also sharing its technologies and experience to help other countries…”可知，中国分享技术和经验帮助其他国家。故填Technologies and experience. 5． 开放性问题，答案不唯一，言之有理即可。参考答案：It’s good to use bamboo products.

The holiday was set to encourage people to plant trees. Kenya is famous for its beautiful forests and wildlife. But large areas of Kenya’s forests have been cut down, either for the wood or for farming. So there is less and less land covered by forests in Kenya. The government wants to plant 15 billion trees by 2032 to cover 30% of its land with trees. In early November, the government announced (宣布) National Tree Growing Day would fall on November 13. To prepare for the day, the government got 150 million young trees ready for planting. The government also created a special app to help organize the tree planting. The app helps people collect young trees, find places to plant, and record their efforts (努力). It also helps the government find out how many trees have been planted in different areas around the country. On that day, people all over Kenya turned out in large numbers to take part in the holiday. In the capital, Nairobi, hundreds of people joined in, even though it was raining. Government leaders led planting efforts in different parts of the country. Workers, students, families, and other groups showed up to take part. Elizabeth Wathuti, who works to protect the environment, was very happy about the support Kenyans showed for tree planting. But she suggested that people should take care of the trees as they grow. “Tree planting is just the beginning,” she said. 根据语篇内容，按要求回答问题。 1．How many trees does the Kenyan government want to plant by 2032? 2．What did the Kenyan government do to prepare for National Tree Growing Day?（不超过20个词） 3．How was the weather in Nairobi on the day of the holiday? 4．What did Elizabeth Wathuti advise people to do after planting trees?（不超过10个词） 5．Write a title for the passage. 【答案】1．15 billion. 2．It got 150 million young trees ready for planting and created a special app to help organize the tree planting. 3．It was raining. 4．Take care of the trees as they grow. 5．National Tree Growing Day in Kenya. / A Tree-planting Holiday in Kenya. / ... 【导语】本文主要介绍了肯尼亚政府为了鼓励人们种树，设立了全国植树节，并通过一款特殊的应用程序来帮助组织植树活动。 1．根据第二段最后一句“The government wants to plant 15 billion trees by 2032 to cover 30% of its land with trees.”可知，肯尼亚政府打算到2032年种150亿棵树来覆盖本国30%的土地。故填15 billion. 2．根据第三段第二句“To prepare for the day, the government got 150 million young trees ready for planting.

Sanjiangyuan, meaning “source of three rivers”, is an area in Northwest China’s Qinghai province and an important part of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau (青藏高原). It is home to the headwaters of China’s three major rivers: the Yellow River, Yangtze River and Lancang River. During the past 20 years, the reserve has seen great changes and progress. Tsewang Gyaltsen, an environmental protection worker in Qinghai province, said that because of illegal mining (非法采矿) in the 1990s, a large part of the land was desertified (沙化). The government, social organizations and local people have all acted to solve this problem. The government is improving the ecological protection management system (生态保护管理制度) and Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve has become part of Sanjiangyuan National Park and is under strict protection. The organization that Tsewang Gyaltsen works for also organizes nature education events. Taking teenagers to mountains and lakes, it gets younger generations to take an interest in environmental protection. Sanjiangyuan is changing for the better. “It’s now a good home for wild animals,” said Tsewang Gyaltsen, “The wild animal population is rising. The number of Xizangan antelopes has increased from less than 20,000 in the 1990s to over 70,000.” But Sanjiangyuan still faces difficulties. “The biggest challenge now is the possible loss of grassland and melting frozen soil (冻土) caused by global warming,” said Tsewang Gyaltsen. He also said, “We hope more people can take action to protect Sanjiangyuan and make it even better.” 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．What are the three major rivers of Sanjiangyuan? 2．What problem did the land in Sanjiangyuan face in the 1990s? 3．How does the government act to deal with the environmental problem? 4．Why did the writer mention Xizangan antelopes in Paragraph 6? 5．What is Tsewang Gyaltsen’s hope? 【答案】1．The Yellow River, Yangtze River and Lancang River. 2．The land was desertified. 3．The government improves the ecological protection management system./The government is improving the ecological protection management system./By improving the ecological protection management system. 4．To show that Sanjiangyuan is changing for the better. 5．More people can take action to protect Sanjiangyuan. 【导语】本文讲了三江源自然保护区在国家和环保机构的努力下自然生态环境慢慢变好，而在环保机构工作的次旺加措见证了这一变化。 1．从第一段的“It is home to the headwaters of China’s three major rivers: the Yellow River, Yangtze River and Lancang River.”可知三江源是长江、黄河和澜沧江的源头。故填The Yellow River, Yangtze River and Lancang River. 2．从第三段的“because of illegal mining in the 1990s, a large part of the land was desertified.”可知由于非法采矿导致了土地沙化。故填The land was desertified. 3．从第四段的“The government is improving the ecological protection management system...is under strict protection.”可知由于政府采取措施，三江源受到严格的保护。故填The government improves the ecological protection management system./The government is improving the ecological protection management system./By improving the ecological protection management system. 4．第六段的后面举例说藏羚羊的数量增加是为了说明第一句的“Sanjiangyuan is changing for the better”,环境变好了藏羚羊才能更多繁衍生息。故填To show that Sanjiangyuan is changing for the better. 5．从最后一段的“We hope more people can take action to protect Sanjiangyuan and make it even better.”可知次旺加措希望更多的人能采取行动让三江源更好。故填More people can take action to protect Sanjiangyuan. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期中复习之阅读回答问题10篇 （Units 1-2单元话题） 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下每单元依次对应5篇单元话题专题训练 单元 单元话题 Unit 1 The Changing World 时代变迁 Unit 2 Saving the Earth 环境保护 Most new babies were born in the developing countries. These countries are found in Africa, South America and parts of Asia. In the developed countries of Europe and North America, the population is growing very slowly. This is because women in these countries have, on average (平均), only one or two children. In the developing countries, many women have five or more children. In 1950, about one quarter of the world’s population lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be home to only about one tenth of the world’s people. In the developing countries, more than one billion people are still living below the poverty (贫困) line. These people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing conditions. Children get little time at school and suffer (遭受痛苦) from many kinds of diseases. At the beginning of the 21st century, the world’s population was around six billion. The U.N. has said that the world’s population will level off (趋于平稳) at 12.5 billion by the year 2100. Other groups think the world’s population will continue to grow, reaching 14 billion before it becomes stable (稳定的), or even falls. 1．Were most new babies born in the developed countries? 2．In 1950, what percent of the world’s population lived in the developing countries? 3．What are the living conditions of the people living below the poverty line? 4．China is also facing the problem of decline (减少) in newborns, please come up with one or two ways to solve the problem. (about 30 words) 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 The population of the world continues to increase, but in some areas the population is falling. This is true in Europe and especially in Eastern Europe. In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people every hour! In Poland the population is also falling because the people are leaving to work in other countries. One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. All over Europe people, especially educated women, have a different attitude to children from their parents. “I have one child and she is enough for me,” said Galina, a doctor from Moscow. Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. “I don’t want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years,” said 19-year-old student Hana from Prague. Her opinion is typical of 18—24-year-old women everywhere in Europe. In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France, women now receive nearly $1000 a month for a year if they have a third child. 1．What does Galina do? 2．Doesn’t Hana want to have any children at all? 3．Why is the population in Poland going down? (写出一条原因即可) 4．How does the French government encourage people to have larger families now? 5．Is a population decline (下降) in some areas good or bad? Why or why not? 阅读下面短文，然后根据文章内容简要回答第1至5小题，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应位置。 During the holiday, some students are busy with travelling, camps and all kinds of courses. But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to experience life outside school. Twelve students sold vegetables at a local market in a big city together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1,500 yuan. Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural areas. “Compared with travelling, such social practice makes us learn how tough our parents are,” said Dalin, 18, a senior high graduate (毕业生), to The City Morning Post. Dalin and her 12-year-old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea. They worked hard to sell their vegetables. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o’clock. Some of them went to the farmers’ market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall (临时摊位). To lower the cost, they learned to bargain (讲价) with the sellers. At about 6:30 am, they began to sell vegetables. They peddled (吆喝) loudly to attract customers. After several days, they got some experience, too. For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. If the vegetables were too heavy, they would give customers an extra plastic bag. After they finally packed up and went home, they had a short meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings. “We are tired but happy,” said Dalin, “because we gain a lot.” 1．What are some students busy with?

In 2022, India had more than 1. 412 billion people, which was very close to China’s population of 1. 426 billion people. India’s population is expected to grow to almost 1. 43 billion by the middle of the year, surpassing China’s. One of the main reasons for this rapid growth is that many babies are born in India every year, more than in any other country, Time magazine noted. Having a big population can be good for the economy（经济）because more people can work and earn（赚钱）money, which can lead to economic growth, the Associated Press noted. More companies from other countries and regions may come to India because of this. However, having a big population can also be challenging because there might not be enough resources（资源）like food, healthcare and education for everyone. CNN stated that it could also be hard for people to find jobs because so many people are looking for work. According to a 2021 report from the World Bank, India’s labor force participation rate（劳动力参与率）,  which is the proportion（比例） of the active labor force in the working-age population, is 46 percent-the lowest in Asia. Despite these challenges, India is still a country with many opportunities for growth. Many companies are choosing to set up factories in India to make things like mobile phones and semiconductors（半导体）. Morgan Stanley, the investment bank, said that India will have unprecedented（前所未有的）economic growth and become the world’s third-biggest economy by 2027. 1．How big will the India’s population be by the middle of this year? 2．Why is India’s population increasing quickly? 3．What is the labor force participation rate? 4．What is Morgan Stanley’s prediction about India’s future economy? 5．What do you think of the large population in India? When I was young, Mother’s Day was more important than any other festival in my family. It was exciting in the house at this time. This was thanks to my father. He made sure that his kids showed much love for their mother. He asked us to clean the house and make it look beautiful. He told us to do things for our mother, even very small things like cooking breakfast. Mom didn’t have to do anything all day. She could have her breakfast in bed in the morning and just relax. In the evening, we went to a restaurant for a nice Mother’s Day dinner. From this, I learned a thing or two about how to love. My father always put my mother first. He loved her and always told her so. You see, it goes both ways. The love you have for your mother comes back to you in a special way one day if you have children.

In 2008, the United Nations recognized June 8 as World Oceans Day. It’s a day to think about the important role that the oceans play in our lives, the dangers that are facing our oceans and the action we can take to protect them. The importance of our oceans The ocean is home to a number of animals on Earth. Marine (海洋的) plants provide us with 70% of the oxygen (氧气) we breathe. The ocean controls our climate (气候), providing heat in winter and cool air in summer. It also provides us with food and medicine. No matter where you live on the planet, your life needs depend on the ocean. The problems facing our oceans The most serious problem facing the ocean at the moment is plastic (塑料) pollution. Cutting the use of plastic bags and plastic bottles has been an important theme for World Oceans Day for a number of years. Climate change and rising sea temperatures are also huge problems. Rising sea temperatures have something to do with the weather pattern and the increase in extreme weather conditions. How to celebrate the day The day is celebrated in different ways, including special events at aquariums (水族馆) and zoos, beach and river clean-ups, school activities, art contests and film festivals. Such activities can remind people of the importance of the ocean. 1．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to? 2．According to the passage, what problems do our oceans face? 3．How do people celebrate World Oceans Day? (List one example) 4．What action can you take to protect our oceans? Answer the questions. (根据短文内容回答问题) Do you know where your food comes from? How far do the milk, apples, coffee beans and other items you eat travel to reach you? What we eat shapes us. But the decisions we make on what we eat can also shape the world around us. Starting to check your food miles is an important step to saving the Earth. Food miles refer to the distance your food travels before it reaches you. From farm to fork, the shorter the distance, the better the food will be for your health and the environment. Food miles are a rather modern idea. Throughout most of human history, people have eaten food grown locally. But over the past few decades (十年), the world has become highly connected. We have become used to having a wide range of global foods. We buy tropical fruits rather than those grown in our local climate. We expect fresh, green products (尤指农产品) even when there is snow on the ground. When we calculate food miles, we shouldn’t just think about the exact number of miles. It depends on many factors (因素), such as how damaging these miles can be. For one thing, the mode of transportation is important. Air travel, for example, allows food to travel quickly. However, this speedy delivery system causes a carbon footprint about 50 times bigger than that of the much slower transportation of food by sea. Working out the environmental cost of what we eat can be hard. The simple truth is that most of us can do far better than what we do now. Whenever you can, buy food from local farmers and eat in-season fruits and vegetables. 1．People have been talking about food miles for the past few centuries, haven’t they? 2．According to the author, what are food miles? 3．What examples did the author use to show people’s habit of buying global food?  (Give 1 example.) 4．What are the advantage and disadvantage of transporting food by air? 5．According to the author, how can we reduce our food miles? 6．Apart from the author’s suggestions, what do you think we can do to reduce our food miles? (Give at least 2 examples.) 阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的词数要求）。 In recent years, plastic pollution has become one of the most serious problems around the world. Many countries have been looking for ways for a better future. On November 7, 2022, China started a “bamboo instead of plastic” activity with the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan (INBAR国际竹藤组织). This will hopefully increase the use of green bamboo products and reduce (减少) plastic pollution. Bamboo is a renewable natural resource (资源) of great value. And it can be harvested (收割) in 3 to 5 years. Normally, bamboo can be cut every year and doesn’t have to be replanted. Bamboo can be used to make different kinds of products. These products can take the place of plastic products in many fields. Even a new bamboo washing machine has been invented in some poor areas. People living there don’t have electricity or money to buy traditional washing machines. It uses the natural flow of the water as power to run the machine. It’s believed that bamboo is a harmless material. It doesn’t cause any pollution when it has to be thrown away. China is one of the countries with the richest bamboo resources in the world. The Chinese are a pioneer (先锋) in the use of bamboo. Provinces Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and Guizhou have set up companies to produce and develop bamboo products. What’s more, China is also sharing its technologies and experience to help other countries with rich bamboo resources. It is hoped that countries will work together for green development around the world. 1．When did China start the “bamboo instead of plastic” activity? (No more than 4 words.) 2．Why did China start the “bamboo instead of plastic” activity? (No more than 16 words.) 3．Is bamboo a harmful material? (No more than 4 words.) 4．What is China sharing to help other countries with rich bamboo resources? (No more than 8 words.) 5．What’s your opinion about using bamboo products? Why? On November 13, 2023, people across Kenya took part in their first national tree-planting holiday. The holiday was set to encourage people to plant trees. Kenya is famous for its beautiful forests and wildlife. But large areas of Kenya’s forests have been cut down, either for the wood or for farming. So there is less and less land covered by forests in Kenya. The government wants to plant 15 billion trees by 2032 to cover 30% of its land with trees. In early November, the government announced (宣布) National Tree Growing Day would fall on November 13. To prepare for the day, the government got 150 million young trees ready for planting. The government also created a special app to help organize the tree planting. The app helps people collect young trees, find places to plant, and record their efforts (努力). It also helps the government find out how many trees have been planted in different areas around the country. On that day, people all over Kenya turned out in large numbers to take part in the holiday. In the capital, Nairobi, hundreds of people joined in, even though it was raining. Government leaders led planting efforts in different parts of the country. Workers, students, families, and other groups showed up to take part. Elizabeth Wathuti, who works to protect the environment, was very happy about the support Kenyans showed for tree planting. But she suggested that people should take care of the trees as they grow. “Tree planting is just the beginning,” she said. 根据语篇内容，按要求回答问题。 1．How many trees does the Kenyan government want to plant by 2032? 2．What did the Kenyan government do to prepare for National Tree Growing Day?（不超过20个词） 3．How was the weather in Nairobi on the day of the holiday? 4．What did Elizabeth Wathuti advise people to do after planting trees?（不超过10个词） 5．Write a title for the passage. Sanjiangyuan, meaning “source of three rivers”, is an area in Northwest China’s Qinghai province and an important part of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau (青藏高原). It is home to the headwaters of China’s three major rivers: the Yellow River, Yangtze River and Lancang River. During the past 20 years, the reserve has seen great changes and progress. Tsewang Gyaltsen, an environmental protection worker in Qinghai province, said that because of illegal mining (非法采矿) in the 1990s, a large part of the land was desertified (沙化). The government, social organizations and local people have all acted to solve this problem.
