When the air is polluted, we wear masks (口罩) to protect ourselves. What about bees and butterflies? They can’t wear masks.
A recent study led by Dr. Ryall may give us the answer. His study finds that air pollution is bad for pollinators (传花粉者) like bees, butterflies and other insects. They can’t smell flowers because of the pollution.
Pollinators are important. They spread pollen (花粉) among plants with flowers. This helps the flower produce seeds (种子) and fruit. Without pollinators, farms cannot make food.
To do their study, Dr. Ryall’s team built some new areas. They sent some bad gas there. In these areas, they found that only 30% of the pollinators flew in. Once they were there, they didn’t hang (徘徊) around.
“The results were much more severe than we thought,” said Dr. Ryall. “The pollution was so serious that it would be bad for the growth of flowers. ”
Scientists explained that bad gas can break down the smells of flowers. This makes it hard for pollinators to find their food. Shannon, a scientist in India, pointed out if we do nothing to solve the problem of air pollution, pollinators will become fewer and fewer.
31. The following are pollinators EXCEPT ________.
A. B. C. D.
32. Pollinators may ________ because of air pollution.
A. eat more food B. spread less pollen
C. have more fruit D. produce more seeds
33. What happened to pollinators in the areas with bad gas?
A. They found food more easily. B. They couldn’t find each other.
C. They didn’t hang around. D. They flew in more than usual.
34. What does the underlined word “severe” mean in Chinese?
A. 严重的 B. 不同的 C. 非凡的 D. 可喜的
35. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. bees and butterflies B. pollen and flowers
C. bad gas and smells D. air pollution and pollinators
【答案】31. B 32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了空气污染对传递花粉的昆虫的影响。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据“His study finds that air pollution is bad for pollinators (传花粉者) like bees, butterflies and other insects”可知,传花粉包括蜜蜂、蝴蝶和其他的昆虫,不包括“花”。故选B。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据“In these areas, they found that only 30% of the pollinators flew in. Once they were there, they didn’t hang (徘徊) around.”可知在这些地区,他们发现只有30%的传粉者飞了进来,空气污染会影响传花粉者的工作效率,因此可以推断空气污染会导致花粉传播变少。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据“In these areas, they found that only 30% of the pollinators flew in. Once they were there, they didn’t hang (徘徊) around.”可知,在充满污染气体的区域,传花粉者的活力降低,不会四处飞动。故选C。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“The pollution was so serious that it would be bad for the growth of flowers.”可知,污染太严重了,不利于花的生长,故此处划线部分意为“严重的”。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。本文全文介绍了空气污染对传递花粉的昆虫的影响。故选D。
C
According to a research, more than 130 billion pounds of uneaten food go to waste in Laura’s country each year. That is about 30% of the yearly food supply. It is a sad fact, especially when you consider how many families and homeless people are in hunger.
When Laura saw her school dining hall throw away food that was not eaten at all every day, she came up with an idea. She started a project to help her school dining hall to give away uneaten food to homeless shelters in her community. In the past three years, the same project has spread to other schools and some fast food restaurants throughout the city. The project is called Feed & Find, and has already fed thousands of people in her city.
How does it work? Through an App, Feed & Find matches local homeless shelters with school dining halls and restaurants that have uneaten food to provide. When dining halls or restaurants have uneaten food left, they can use the App to share the information about the food. A truck driver working for the project is then sent to pick it up and take it to a shelter.
Pretty cool, right? It’s not surprising that people in other cities have got in touch with Laura, hoping that she could help develop similar projects for their communities.
Some people, however, have concerns about the safety of the uneaten food. They think such food may not be clean enough. Still, this project is a clever way to help solve the problem of food waste and it helps those in need.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
36. The numbers in Paragraph 1 tell us ________.
A. some people are poor B. food waste is serious C. the population is large D. the research is interesting

词义猜测题。根据“Some people, however, have concerns about the safety of the uneaten food. They think such food may not be clean enough.”可知,人们是担心食物是否安全。由此可以推断划线单词“concerns”意为“担心”。故选C。
【40题详解】

When you hear the word “shapeshifting (变身)”, you may think of something from a movie. But that’s what animals are doing to deal with climate change. A new study shows that some animals are gradually growing larger beaks, legs and ears. By doing so, they can lose heat more easily to cool themselves down as Earth gets warmer. This change, however, comes with both hope and warning.
“A lot of the time when we talk about climate change, we ask ‘Can humans overcome this?’ or ‘What technology can solve this?’. But we should know that animals also have to adapt to these changes,” said the study’s author, Sara Ryding from Deakin University, Australia. If animals fail to control their body temperature (温度), they can overheat and die.
In one example, the beaks of some Australian parrot species (物种) have grown 4 to 10 percent larger since 1871. The study says it’s closely related to rising summer temperatures over the years. Similar examples include wood mice, which have longer tails. Masked shrews (鼬鼱) are also developing longer tails and legs, while bats in warm climates have bigger wings.
Although the changes are still small, Ryding said they could be easier to be noticed as the days become hotter. “Body parts like ears may become bigger, so we might end up with a live-action Dumbo (the big-eared elephant from a Disney cartoon) in the near future,” Ryding told the BBC.
While animals are changing their body shapes to stay alive, scientists warn this doesn’t mean all is well. It just means they are trying hard to live. Not all animals will succeed. “The climate change that humans have created is giving a whole lot of pressure on animals, and while some will adapt, others will not.” said Ryding.
41. How will the size of animals’ body parts (like beaks, ears) change as Earth gets warmer? (x=Earth’s temperature, y = size of animals’ body parts)
A. B. C. D.
42. What does the underlined phrase “adapt to” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Begin to understand new things. B. Learn to accept new members.
C. Change to fit new situations. D. Refuse to follow new rules.
43. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Body parts that help animals deal with high temperatures.
B. Examples of how animals get used to climate change.
C. Species that like living in high temperatures.
D. The history of animals’ body part changes.
44. What does Sara Ryding think animals in the future will be like?
A. Their body parts may get smaller. B. They may become much stronger.
C. They may die from heat. D. They may look like cartoon characters.
45. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?
A. B. C. D.

The development of science and technology makes a difference to people’s life. For example, the creation (创造) of special robots has helped farmers a lot.
____46____ As a result, more and more food needs to be grown in order to feed everyone. Because climate changes all the time, it’s becoming even more difficult to grow more food. When farmers tried to grow more food in the past, some farming methods were used. ____47____ In fact, they were harmful to the environment sometimes.
____48____ Some scientists spent several years talking to farmers. They wanted to see what problems farmers were having and how these problems could be solved. This led to (引起) the creation of special robots. ____49____ They can take pictures of plants and track (追踪) each plant’s growth.
By collecting information about plants, the robots can help farmers predict (预测) the growth of the plants. ____50____ By studying each plant, the robots can also help farmers look after plants better. For example, if the robots find out which plants get sick, farmers can quickly throw them away before they are about to influence other plants beside them. With the help of these robots, farmers can take better care of the plants in need.
A. Could this problem be solved?
B. That means farmers can know how their plants will grow.
C. The population on the earth grows larger each year.
D. However, those farming methods weren’t always healthy for the environment.
E. These special robots move around on farms and collect information about crops (庄稼).

【47题详解】
根据“In fact, they were harmful to the environment sometimes.”可知,前文应提到某些农业方法存在问题。选项D“然而,这些农业方法并不总是对环境有益”与后文形成转折关系,说明方法的负面影响,符合语境。故选D。
48题详解】
根据“Some scientists spent several years talking to farmers... This led to the creation of special robots.”可知,前文应提到科学家试图解决问题。选项A“这个问题能解决吗?”引出科学家探索解决方案的过程,符合逻辑,符合语境。故选A。
【49题详解】
根据“They can take pictures of plants and track each plant’s growth.”可知,前文应描述机器人如何工作。选项E“这些特殊机器人在农场中移动并收集庄稼信息”具体说明机器人的功能,与后文衔接紧密,符合语境。故选E。
【50题详解】

Ⅴ.情景交际(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据情景提示,完成下列各题。
51. 听到上课铃响了,你可以这样说:
___________________________________________.
【答案】There goes the bell
【解析】
【详解】根据情景可知,应说“上课铃响了”,可以用句型There goes the bell表示;there是副词,位于句首,句子用的是完全倒装,即把动词放主语前。故填 There goes the bell。
52. 你想知道福建的人口有多少,可以这样问:
________________________________________________________?

53. 当你见到房间一片狼藉时,你会这样感叹:
What ______________________!
【答案】a mess
【解析】
【详解】见到房间一片狼藉时,可以说“真乱啊”,其英语表达“What a mess”,答案不唯一,合理即可。故填a mess。
54. 老师要求你们纸张要两面都用,他会这样说:
You must _____________________________.
【答案】use both sides of paper
【解析】
【详解】表达可以为“你们的纸张要两面都用”,must后接动词原形use“使用”;both sides of paper“纸张两面”。故填use both sides of paper。
55. 当你看到朋友夸夸其谈而不做事时,可以这样对他说:
____________________________________________________________.
【答案】Actions speak louder than words
【解析】
【详解】此处提醒朋友注重实际行动而非空谈,需要用一句简洁有力的表达提醒对方重视行动;“Actions speak louder than words” 是英语常用谚语,字面意为 “行动比语言更响亮”,引申为 “行动胜于雄辩”,契合语境。故填Actions speak louder than words。

When the air is polluted, we wear masks (口罩) to protect ourselves. What about bees and butterflies? They can’t wear masks.
A recent study led by Dr. Ryall may give us the answer. His study finds that air pollution is bad for pollinators (传花粉者) like bees, butterflies and other insects. They can’t smell flowers because of the pollution.
Pollinators are important. They spread pollen (花粉) among plants with flowers. This helps the flower produce seeds (种子) and fruit. Without pollinators, farms cannot make food.
To do their study, Dr. Ryall’s team built some new areas. They sent some bad gas there. In these areas, they found that only 30% of the pollinators flew in. Once they were there, they didn’t hang (徘徊) around.
“The results were much more severe than we thought” said Dr. Ryall. “The pollution was so serious that it would be bad for the growth of flowers. ”
Scientists explained that bad gas can break down the smells of flowers. This makes it hard for pollinators to find their food. Shannon, a scientist in India, pointed out if we do nothing to solve the problem of air pollution, pollinators will become fewer and fewer.
31. The following are pollinators EXCEPT ________.
A. B. C. D.
32. Pollinators may ________ because of air pollution.
A. eat more food B. spread less pollen
C have more fruit D. produce more seeds
33. What happened to pollinators in the areas with bad gas?
A. They found food more easily. B. They couldn’t find each other.
C. They didn’t hang around. D. They flew in more than usual.
34. What does the underlined word “severe” mean in Chinese?
A. 严重的 B. 不同的 C. 非凡的 D. 可喜的
35. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. bees and butterflies B. pollen and flowers
C. bad gas and smells D. air pollution and pollinators
C
According to a research, more than 130 billion pounds of uneaten food go to waste in Laura’s country each year. That is about 30% of the yearly food supply. It is a sad fact, especially when you consider how many families and homeless people are in hunger.
When Laura saw her school dining hall throw away food that was not eaten at all every day, she came up with an idea. She started a project to help her school dining hall to give away uneaten food to homeless shelters in her community. In the past three years, the same project has spread to other schools and some fast food restaurants throughout the city. The project is called Feed & Find, and has already fed thousands of people in her city.
How does it work? Through an App, Feed & Find matches local homeless shelters with school dining halls and restaurants that have uneaten food to provide. When dining halls or restaurants have uneaten food left, they can use the App to share the information about the food. A truck driver working for the project is then sent to pick it up and take it to a shelter.
Pretty cool, right? It’s not surprising that people in other cities have got in touch with Laura, hoping that she could help develop similar projects for their communities.
Some people, however, have concerns about the safety of the uneaten food. They think such food may not be clean enough. Still, this project is a clever way to help solve the problem of food waste and it helps those in need.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
36. The numbers in Paragraph 1 tell us ________.
A. some people are poor B. food waste is serious C. the population is large D. the research is interesting

38. People in other cities would like Laura to ________.
A. find a truck driver B. visit their communities C. give away food to them D. help develop projects like hers
39. The underlined word “concerns” in this passage means ________.
A. ways B. secrets C. worries D. decisions
40. Which can be the best title for this passage?
A. A Dining Guide App B. A Food Sharing Project C. A Driving Service App D. A Food Safety Project

When you hear the word “shapeshifting (变身)”, you may think of something from a movie. But that’s what animals are doing to deal with climate change. A new study shows that some animals are gradually growing larger beaks, legs and ears. By doing so, they can lose heat more easily to cool themselves down as Earth gets warmer. This change, however, comes with both hope and warning.
“A lot of the time when we talk about climate change, we ask ‘Can humans overcome this?’ or ‘What technology can solve this?’. But we should know that animals also have to adapt to these changes,” said the study’s author, Sara Ryding from Deakin University, Australia. If animals fail to control their body temperature (温度), they can overheat and die.
In one example, the beaks of some Australian parrot species (物种) have grown 4 to 10 percent larger since 1871. The study says it’s closely related to rising summer temperatures over the years. Similar examples include wood mice, which have longer tails. Masked shrews (鼬鼱) are also developing longer tails and legs, while bats in warm climates have bigger wings.
Although the changes are still small, Ryding said they could be easier to be noticed as the days become hotter. “Body parts like ears may become bigger, so we might end up with a live-action Dumbo (the big-eared elephant from a Disney cartoon) in the near future,” Ryding told the BBC.
While animals are changing their body shapes to stay alive, scientists warn this doesn’t mean all is well. It just means they are trying hard to live. Not all animals will succeed. “The climate change that humans have created is giving a whole lot of pressure on animals, and while some will adapt, others will not.” said Ryding.
41. How will the size of animals’ body parts (like beaks, ears) change as Earth gets warmer? (x=Earth’s temperature, y = size of animals’ body parts)
A. B. C. D.
42. What does the underlined phrase “adapt to” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Begin to understand new things. B. Learn to accept new members.
C. Change to fit new situations. D. Refuse to follow new rules.
43. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Body parts that help animals deal with high temperatures.
B. Examples of how animals get used to climate change.
C. Species that like living in high temperatures.
D. The history of animals’ body part changes.
44. What does Sara Ryding think animals in the future will be like?
A. Their body parts may get smaller. B. They may become much stronger.
C. They may die from heat. D. They may look like cartoon characters.
45. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?
A. B. C. D.
