His heart was beating fast when listening to the dangerous pirates (海盗) talking. “Listen, my friends,” Long John Silver said quietly. “Tomorrow morning, when we reach the island (岛屿), we will take the treasure and kill anyone who tries to stop us.” “But what about the boy and the other gentlemen on this ship?” asked one of the pirates nervously. “Ha!” Silver said angrily. “They don’t know our real plans. Once we find where the treasure is, they will be useless to us.” Jim felt very scared because he knew how dangerous they were. These men, in fact, were bad sailors and were planning to kill them. “What if they find out our plan too early?” another pirate asked worriedly. “Then we will have to act (行动) quickly,” Silver answered coldly. “I have killed many people. A young boy and a few gentlemen are no real danger to skilled pirates like us.” “Yes, Captain Silver,” the men said together excitedly. Jim knew he must tell his friends about it right away. Quietly, he began to move away from his hiding place, but suddenly his foot hit a wooden board and made a loud noise. “What was that?” Silver asked sharply (尖声地), looking around the dark places. “Maybe just the ship moving,” one pirate said. “Maybe,” Silver said, “but be careful. We cannot have any problems at this important time.” Jim held his breath, hoping they would not find him.

Long ago, a good harvest meant there would be enough food for the long winter months. The whole community would work together to harvest the crops and celebrate. With no supermarkets, the harvest was the only source (来源) of food so a good harvest was for everyone to celebrate. When Is Harvest? Harvest season in the UK begins at the end of August or the start of September. In years gone by, there was an ancient festival called Lammas to celebrate the beginning of harvest. But it has always been the end that sees the most exciting moment of the harvest. In the past, the harvest would not end until the last sheaf (捆) of the crop arrived at the village and there was often a great parade (游行) to welcome it. In more modern times, the celebrations of the harvesting fall on the Harvest Festival, which is on the Sunday closest to the Harvest Moon. They include Saint Michael’s Mass on 29th September. In the past, the arrival of the last crop meant the beginning of the Harvest Supper. A big meal of meats, vegetables, fruits and puddings would be shared by the community. Everyone, old or young, rich or poor, joined in with singing, dancing and games. In more recent years, the Harvest Festival has been mainly celebrated by schools and other places. In some schools, children are often asked to bring food to be shared out to those who need it in the local community. Decorations of fruits and grains can be found in the Town Hall and there are songs, reading that give thanks for the harvest. 33．When does the harvest season in the UK usually begin? A．At the start of August. B．At the end of August. C．In the middle of September. D．At the end of September. 34．Why was a good harvest so important long ago? A．Because it could let people change for different things. B．Because it brought people good luck for the whole year. C．Because it could let more people live in the community. D．Because it was the only way to keep enough food for winter. 35．How do children celebrate the Harvest Festival in schools? A．Singing, dancing, and games. B．Sharing a meal with classmates. C．Bringing food to people in need. D．Decorating with fruits and grains. 36．Which title can be put in the blank ▲ ? A．How to Celebrate Harvest? B．Why do People Celebrate Harvest? C．Who Celebrates Harvest? D．Where to Hold Harvest Celebrations? D As the effects of climate change become more disastrous, well-known research institutions（机构）are focusing new money and attention on an idea: artificially（人工地）cooling the planet, in the hopes of buying humans more time to cut greenhouse gas emissions（排放）. That strategy, called solar geoengineering, includes reflecting more of the sun’s energy back into space—reducing global temperatures in a way that is similar to the effects of ash clouds flowing out from the volcanic eruptions（火山喷发）. The idea has been considered as a dangerous solution, as researchers on global warming worry that it would encourage people to keep burning fossil fuels（化石燃料）while bringing unexpected and harmful side effects to the planet, producing more hurricanes, wildfires, floods and other disasters. But as global warming continues, some researchers and policy experts say that worries about geoengineering should be outweighed by the great need to better understand it, in case climate change will become so terrible that the world can’t wait for better solutions. By solar geoengineering, one way to cool the earth is to put aerosols（气溶胶）into the upper part of the atmosphere where the aerosols reflect sunlight away from the earth. That process works, according to Douglas MacMartin, a researcher at Cornell University. “We know with 100% certainty that we can cool the planet,” he said in an interview. “What’s still unclear,” he added, “is what happens next.” Temperature, MacMartin said, is seen as a sign of climate effects. “What does it do to the strength of hurricanes?” he asked, “What does it do to agriculture production? What does it do to the risk of forest fires?” Another institution supported by the National Science Foundation will study hundreds of similar processes of aerosol injection, testing the effects on weather extremes around the world. One goal of the research is to look for a sweet spot: the amount of artificial cooling that can reduce extreme weather events without causing broader changes in regional rainfall patterns or similar impacts. 37．Why do researchers work on cooling the earth? A．To prevent natural disasters. B．To win time to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. C．To create volcanic eruptions. D．To encourage more people to burn fossil fuels. 38．What are researchers worried about in terms of global warming? A．More volcanoes will throw out. B．More solar energy will go into space. C．There will be more disasters in the future of the world. D．People will stop burning fossil fuels to keep warm. 39．What can we infer from Douglas’ words in an interview? A．More research remains to be done as much is still unclear. B．He is optimistic about the result of cooling the earth. C．He is worried about the reduction in agriculture production. D．He disagrees with the practice of solar geoengineering. 40．What does “sweet spot” in the last paragraph mean? A．The rainfall pattern of a region. B．The number of extreme weather events. C．The modest（适度的）drop in temperature. D．The needed amount of aerosol. 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 Have you ever stopped to look closely at a moss growing on a stone or a giant redwood reaching for the sky? Our planet is full of amazing living things, from the fastest cheetah to the tiniest ant. But these plants and animals don’t live alone. They are all connected in a web of life called an ecosystem. Every living thing plays a role in this network. For example, bees and butterflies are very important for pollination. They carry pollen from flower to flower. 41 Without this action, many plants couldn’t make fruits or seeds. Bees also communicate with each other to find food and then store sweet honey in their honeycomb. 42 They help to break down dead plants and animals, cleaning the forest and making the soil rich. This process is like magic —it removes decaying (腐烂) matter, and at the same time, creates nutrient-rich (富营养的) food for living plants. This amazing cycle shows how everything in nature is connected-even death gives life to new growth. Sadly, human activities sometimes break these connections. When we cut down too many trees like bamboo or ginkgo, animals lose their homes. Forests that used to be home to many frogs and butterflies become quiet. 43 For this reason, it is our duty to protect their homes and understand the importance of every life. So, what can we do? We can start small. We can protect the environment by planting trees or even growing flowers like roses in our gardens. 44 During the walk, we can imagine the complex (复杂的) connections between all the living things we see. 45 When we understand that we are also a part of this ecosystem, we can learn to get on well with nature. Let’s promise to be good friends to our planet and all its wonderful living things. A．Protecting nature means protecting ourselves in the long run. B．This loss shows us the harm of an unhealthy ecosystem. C．Other small living things, like mushrooms, also play a part. D．We can also take a walk in nature to learn more about it. E．Actually, even the smallest insect can help the ecosystem. F．In fact, over 75 percent of flowering plants need help with pollination. 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，在短文空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。将所填答案填写在相应题号的横线上。 He Jing is 36 years old. She comes from Xi’an, Shaanxi province. On October 9, 2024, she got to the 46 (high) point of Mount Shishapangma (8,027 meters high ), thus becoming the first person from China and 47 third woman in the world to climb all 14 of the world’s peaks over 8,000 meters without using supplemental (补充性) oxygen. She didn’t start climbing mountains as a sport 48 she was 18. Her first climb, in 2006, was in the Qinling Mountains. That made her become 49 (interest) in the sport. In 2012, she climbed her first mountain over 5,000 meters—Mount Siguniang in Sichuan province. From that time on, she has been trying 50 (climb) high mountains. She reached the top of her first 8,000-meter peak, Mount Cho Oyu, in 2016, using just one bottle of oxygen. Realizing she could handle the extreme altitude, she 51 (decide) to try future climbs without oxygen . Climbing without oxygen 52 (be) very dangerous because of the thin atmosphere at high altitudes. To get ready, she trained hard, running at least five 53 (time) a week, and climbing 200 flights of stairs with a 20-kilogram pack three times a week. 54 September 25, 2017, she made it to the highest point of Mount Manaslu in Nepal without supplemental oxygen. Then, on May 14, 2022, she was the first woman from China to get to the top of Mount Qomolangma from the south side without using bottled oxygen . “I didn’t set many specific goals for 55 (I),” she said. “I enjoy both the climbing process and the view from the summit (山顶).” 六、首字母填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整 Bears are considered as one of the most dangerous large predators (捕食性动物). It’s reported that recently a woman in Yunnan was attacked (袭击) by an Asiatic black bear in the mountains when she was s 56 for bamboo shoots. Between 1950 and 2019, 765 people died b 57 of Asiatic black bears. As a result, humans are afraid of them a lot. H 58 , bears, including the most dangerous black bears, do not often attack people. Most attacks by bears are defensive reactions (防御反应) to a person who is too close. An attack can also h 59 when people scare baby bears from a short distance (距离). When black bears are taking care of their b 60 , mother bears can get ready to attack anytime. Moreover, people may find that bears and humans are more likely to meet in recent years. Bears look for f 61 near villages, and this makes more meetings with humans which may bring harm or death. So, what should you do when there’s a bear right in front of you? Play dead? It may w 62 , for the bear may not think you are dangerous. But there are better ways. If you see a bear b 63 it notices you, don’t get closer or keep watching it. Just walk away q 64 in the other direction. If a bear sees you first, don’t run—it might chase you. I 65 , move back slowly in the opposite direction and wait for the bear to go away. 七、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Recently, a father called Daming and his son Dongshun’s photos became hot all over China. In the photos, while they are working on the boat on Dongting Lake, lots of fish are jumping into the fish bin (鱼舱). Dongting Lake is the second freshwater (淡水) lake in China, it’s home to nearly 400 kinds of fishes. But in the past, people threw litter and factories put waste water into the lake. Even worse, a large number of fish were caught by fishermen. Because of pollution and overfishing (过度捕捞), the Yangtze River was in great danger. For example, the Chinese paddlefish (中华白鲟) disappeared 2 years ago. Daming used to make a living by fishing near Dongting Lake. However, life was gradually becoming difficult for Daming and other fishermen. The more times they went to fish, the fewer fish they could get. In January, 2020, the government called for a 10-year fishing ban (禁渔令), covering 332 conservation areas (保护区) in the Yangtze River. Dongshun has worked with his father as a lake ranger (巡湖员) for almost 3 years. This job helps him understand how important it is to protect Dongting Lake. “I think this job is meaningful.” he said, “As the wind is blowing gently, fish are swimming happily. What a beautiful scene! The fishing ban will lead Dongting Lake to a better future.” 66．Why was the Yangtze River in great danger in the past from the passage? 67．How did Daming use to make a living? 68．What did the government call for in January, 2020? 69．What is Dongshun’s job now? 70．What do you think of Dongting Lake’s future?

His heart was beating fast when listening to the dangerous pirates (海盗) talking. “Listen, my friends,” Long John Silver said quietly. “Tomorrow morning, when we reach the island (岛屿), we will take the treasure and kill anyone who tries to stop us.” “But what about the boy and the other gentlemen on this ship?” asked one of the pirates nervously. “Ha!” Silver said angrily. “They don’t know our real plans. Once we find where the treasure is, they will be useless to us.” Jim felt very scared because he knew how dangerous they were. These men, in fact, were bad sailors and were planning to kill them. “What if they find out our plan too early?” another pirate asked worriedly. “Then we will have to act (行动) quickly,” Silver answered coldly. “I have killed many people. A young boy and a few gentlemen are no real danger to skilled pirates like us.” “Yes, Captain Silver,” the men said together excitedly. Jim knew he must tell his friends about it right away. Quietly, he began to move away from his hiding place, but suddenly his foot hit a wooden board and made a loud noise. “What was that?” Silver asked sharply (尖声地), looking around the dark places. “Maybe just the ship moving,” one pirate said. “Maybe,” Silver said, “but be careful. We cannot have any problems at this important time.” Jim held his breath, hoping they would not find him.

Harvest is the time of year when crops planted in spring are ready to be collected. Long ago, a good harvest meant there would be enough food for the long winter months. The whole community would work together to harvest the crops and celebrate. With no supermarkets, the harvest was the only source (来源) of food so a good harvest was for everyone to celebrate. When Is Harvest? Harvest season in the UK begins at the end of August or the start of September. In years gone by, there was an ancient festival called Lammas to celebrate the beginning of harvest. But it has always been the end that sees the most exciting moment of the harvest. In the past, the harvest would not end until the last sheaf (捆) of the crop arrived at the village and there was often a great parade (游行) to welcome it. In more modern times, the celebrations of the harvesting fall on the Harvest Festival, which is on the Sunday closest to the Harvest Moon. They include Saint Michael’s Mass on 29th September. In the past, the arrival of the last crop meant the beginning of the Harvest Supper. A big meal of meats, vegetables, fruits and puddings would be shared by the community. Everyone, old or young, rich or poor, joined in with singing, dancing and games. In more recent years, the Harvest Festival has been mainly celebrated by schools and other places. In some schools, children are often asked to bring food to be shared out to those who need it in the local community. Decorations of fruits and grains can be found in the Town Hall and there are songs, reading that give thanks for the harvest. 33．When does the harvest season in the UK usually begin? A．At the start of August. B．At the end of August. C．In the middle of September. D．At the end of September. 34．Why was a good harvest so important long ago? A．Because it could let people change for different things. B．Because it brought people good luck for the whole year. C．Because it could let more people live in the community. D．Because it was the only way to keep enough food for winter. 35．How do children celebrate the Harvest Festival in schools? A．Singing, dancing, and games. B．Sharing a meal with classmates. C．Bringing food to people in need. D．Decorating with fruits and grains. 36．Which title can be put in the blank ▲ ? A．How to Celebrate Harvest? B．Why do People Celebrate Harvest? C．Who Celebrates Harvest? D．Where to Hold Harvest Celebrations? 【答案】33．B 34．D 35．C 36．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了收获节。 33．细节理解题。根据“Harvest season in the UK begins at the end of August or the start of September.”可知，英国的收获季节从8月底或9月初开始。故选B。 34．细节理解题。根据“Long ago, a good harvest meant there would be enough food for the long winter months.”可知，很久以前，一个好收成如此重要是因为有足够的食物度过漫长的冬季。故选D。 35．细节理解题。根据“In some schools, children are often asked to bring food to be shared out to those who need it in the local community.”可知，孩子们在学校里通过分给当地社区需要食物的人来庆祝收获节。故选C。 36．推理判断题。通读倒数第二自然段可知，本段主要讲了如何庆祝收获节。故选A。 D As the effects of climate change become more disastrous, well-known research institutions（机构）are focusing new money and attention on an idea: artificially（人工地）cooling the planet, in the hopes of buying humans more time to cut greenhouse gas emissions（排放）. That strategy, called solar geoengineering, includes reflecting more of the sun’s energy back into space—reducing global temperatures in a way that is similar to the effects of ash clouds flowing out from the volcanic eruptions（火山喷发）. The idea has been considered as a dangerous solution, as researchers on global warming worry that it would encourage people to keep burning fossil fuels（化石燃料）while bringing unexpected and harmful side effects to the planet, producing more hurricanes, wildfires, floods and other disasters. But as global warming continues, some researchers and policy experts say that worries about geoengineering should be outweighed by the great need to better understand it, in case climate change will become so terrible that the world can’t wait for better solutions. By solar geoengineering, one way to cool the earth is to put aerosols（气溶胶）into the upper part of the atmosphere where the aerosols reflect sunlight away from the earth. That process works, according to Douglas MacMartin, a researcher at Cornell University. “We know with 100% certainty that we can cool the planet,” he said in an interview. “What’s still unclear,” he added, “is what happens next.” Temperature, MacMartin said, is seen as a sign of climate effects. “What does it do to the strength of hurricanes?” he asked, “What does it do to agriculture production? What does it do to the risk of forest fires?” Another institution supported by the National Science Foundation will study hundreds of similar processes of aerosol injection, testing the effects on weather extremes around the world. One goal of the research is to look for a sweet spot: the amount of artificial cooling that can reduce extreme weather events without causing broader changes in regional rainfall patterns or similar impacts. 37．Why do researchers work on cooling the earth? A．To prevent natural disasters. B．To win time to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. C．To create volcanic eruptions. D．To encourage more people to burn fossil fuels. 38．What are researchers worried about in terms of global warming? A．More volcanoes will throw out. B．More solar energy will go into space. C．There will be more disasters in the future of the world. D．People will stop burning fossil fuels to keep warm. 39．What can we infer from Douglas’ words in an interview? A．More research remains to be done as much is still unclear. B．He is optimistic about the result of cooling the earth. C．He is worried about the reduction in agriculture production. D．He disagrees with the practice of solar geoengineering. 40．What does “sweet spot” in the last paragraph mean? A．The rainfall pattern of a region. B．The number of extreme weather events. C．The modest（适度的）drop in temperature. D．The needed amount of aerosol. 【答案】37．B 38．C 39．A 40．C 【导语】本文主要讲述全球气候变化带来各种灾难性的天气，政府和相关研究机构提出的各种可能的应对办法。 37．细节理解题。根据“artificially（人工地）cooling the planet, in the hopes of buying humans more time to cut greenhouse gas emissions（排放）.”可知是为减少温室气体排放争取时间。故选B。 38．细节理解题。根据“The idea has been considered as a dangerous solution, as researchers on global warming worry that it would encourage people to keep burning fossil fuels（化石燃料）while bringing unexpected and harmful side effects to the planet, producing more hurricanes, wildfires, floods and other disasters.”可知研究人员全球变暖后未来的世界将会有更多的灾难。故选C。 39．推理判断题。根据第五段可知，Douglas肯定了降温技术的可行性，但强调降温后的后续影响（如极端天气、农业、火灾等）仍是未知的。这暗示当前研究不充分，亟需进一步探索以明确潜在风险，与选项A完全吻合。故选A。 40．词句猜测题。根据“the amount of artificial cooling that can reduce extreme weather events without causing broader changes in regional rainfall patterns or similar impacts.”（可以减少极端天气事件的人工降温量，而不会引起更大范围的区域降雨模式变化或类似影响。）以及选项可知，要寻找一个温度的适度下降点。故选C。 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 Have you ever stopped to look closely at a moss growing on a stone or a giant redwood reaching for the sky? Our planet is full of amazing living things, from the fastest cheetah to the tiniest ant. But these plants and animals don’t live alone. They are all connected in a web of life called an ecosystem. Every living thing plays a role in this network. For example, bees and butterflies are very important for pollination. They carry pollen from flower to flower. 41 Without this action, many plants couldn’t make fruits or seeds. Bees also communicate with each other to find food and then store sweet honey in their honeycomb. 42 They help to break down dead plants and animals, cleaning the forest and making the soil rich. This process is like magic —it removes decaying (腐烂) matter, and at the same time, creates nutrient-rich (富营养的) food for living plants. This amazing cycle shows how everything in nature is connected-even death gives life to new growth. Sadly, human activities sometimes break these connections. When we cut down too many trees like bamboo or ginkgo, animals lose their homes. Forests that used to be home to many frogs and butterflies become quiet. 43 For this reason, it is our duty to protect their homes and understand the importance of every life. So, what can we do? We can start small. We can protect the environment by planting trees or even growing flowers like roses in our gardens. 44 During the walk, we can imagine the complex (复杂的) connections between all the living things we see. 45 When we understand that we are also a part of this ecosystem, we can learn to get on well with nature. Let’s promise to be good friends to our planet and all its wonderful living things. A．Protecting nature means protecting ourselves in the long run. B．This loss shows us the harm of an unhealthy ecosystem. C．Other small living things, like mushrooms, also play a part. D．We can also take a walk in nature to learn more about it. E．Actually, even the smallest insect can help the ecosystem. F．In fact, over 75 percent of flowering plants need help with pollination. 【答案】41．F 42．C 43．B 44．D 45．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了生态系统中生物的相互联系，以蜜蜂、蘑菇为例说明生物作用，指出人类破坏的危害，呼吁从自身做起保护自然。 41．根据“bees and butterflies are very important for pollination. They carry pollen from flower to flower.”以及“Without this action, many plants couldn’t make fruits or seeds.”可知，这里应是补充说明开花植物对传粉的需求，选项F“事实上，超过75%的开花植物需要传粉帮助。”符合语境，强调传粉的重要性，与前后文内容对应，故选F。 42．根据“They help to break down dead plants and animals, cleaning the forest and making the soil rich.”可知，这里应是引出蘑菇等小型生物的作用，选项C“其他小型生物，比如蘑菇，也发挥着作用。”符合语境，引出后文对蘑菇作用的介绍，与后文内容对应，故选C。 43．根据“When we cut down too many trees...Forests that used to be home to many frogs and butterflies become quiet.”可知，这里应是说明生态系统被破坏的危害，选项B“这种损失向我们展示了不健康生态系统的危害。”符合语境，总结砍伐树木带来的危害，与前文情况对应，故选B。 44．根据“We can protect the environment by planting trees or even growing flowers like roses in our gardens.”以及“During the walk, we can imagine the complex connections...”可知，这里应是提出亲近自然的另一种方式，选项D“我们也可以在大自然中散步，更多地了解它。”符合语境，补充保护自然的具体行动，与后文散步内容对应，故选D。 45．根据“When we understand that we are also a part of this ecosystem, we can learn to get on well with nature.”可知，这里应是强调保护自然的意义，选项A“从长远来看，保护自然意味着保护我们自己。”符合语境，总结保护自然的重要性，与前后文内容对应，故选A。 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，在短文空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。将所填答案填写在相应题号的横线上。 He Jing is 36 years old.

It’s reported that recently a woman in Yunnan was attacked (袭击) by an Asiatic black bear in the mountains when she was s 56 for bamboo shoots. Between 1950 and 2019, 765 people died b 57 of Asiatic black bears. As a result, humans are afraid of them a lot. H 58 , bears, including the most dangerous black bears, do not often attack people. Most attacks by bears are defensive reactions (防御反应) to a person who is too close. An attack can also h 59 when people scare baby bears from a short distance (距离). When black bears are taking care of their b 60 , mother bears can get ready to attack anytime. Moreover, people may find that bears and humans are more likely to meet in recent years. Bears look for f 61 near villages, and this makes more meetings with humans which may bring harm or death. So, what should you do when there’s a bear right in front of you? Play dead? It may w 62 , for the bear may not think you are dangerous. But there are better ways. If you see a bear b 63 it notices you, don’t get closer or keep watching it.

As a result, humans are afraid of them a lot.”和“...bears, including the most dangerous black bears, do not often attack people”可知，空处前后是转折关系，结合首字母提示可知，空处应填副词However“然而”。故填(H)owever。 59．句意：当人们近距离惊吓熊宝宝时，也会发生攻击。根据首字母提示和“An attack can also...when people scare baby bears from a short distance (距离).”可知，此处表示“攻击也可能发生”，动词happen意为“发生”，情态动词can后接动词原形。故填(h)appen。 60．句意：当黑熊照顾它们的幼崽时，熊妈妈随时可能会准备攻击。根据首字母提示和上文“when people scare baby bears from a short distance (距离)”可知，此处指“熊宝宝”，名词baby意为“宝宝”，根据“mother bears”可知，空处应填baby的复数形式babies。故填(b)abies。 61．句意：熊在村庄附近寻找食物，这使得它们与人类有更多的接触，这可能会带来伤害或死亡。根据首字母提示和“Bears look for...near villages”可知，此处表示“寻找食物”，food“食物”符合语境。故填(f)ood。 62．句意：它可能会起作用，因为熊可能不认为你是危险的。根据“Play dead?”和“for the bear may not think you are dangerous”可知，此处表示“装死可能会起作用”，动词work意为“起作用”，情态动词may后接动词原形。故填(w)ork。 63．句意：如果你在熊注意到你之前看到了它，不要靠近或继续观察它。根据首字母提示和“If you see a bear...it notices you”可知，此处表示“如果你在熊注意到你之前看到了它”，before“在……之前”符合语境。故填(b)efore。 64．句意：安静地/迅速地朝另一个方向走开。根据首字母提示和“Just walk away...in the other direction.”可知，如果熊没有注意到你，你应该安静地或迅速地朝另一个方向走开，空处用于修饰动词短语walk away，所以空处可填副词quietly“安静地”或quickly“迅速地”。故填(q)uietly/(q)uickly。 65．句意：相反，慢慢地朝相反的方向后退，等待熊离开。根据首字母提示和“If a bear sees you first, don’t run—it might chase you...move back slowly in the opposite direction and wait for the bear to go away.”可知，如果一只熊先看到你，不要跑，它可能会追你。相反，慢慢地朝相反的方向后退，等待熊离开。空处应填Instead“相反”。故填(I)nstead。 七、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Recently, a father called Daming and his son Dongshun’s photos became hot all over China. In the photos, while they are working on the boat on Dongting Lake, lots of fish are jumping into the fish bin (鱼舱). Dongting Lake is the second freshwater (淡水) lake in China, it’s home to nearly 400 kinds of fishes. But in the past, people threw litter and factories put waste water into the lake. Even worse, a large number of fish were caught by fishermen. Because of pollution and overfishing (过度捕捞), the Yangtze River was in great danger. For example, the Chinese paddlefish (中华白鲟) disappeared 2 years ago. Daming used to make a living by fishing near Dongting Lake. However, life was gradually becoming difficult for Daming and other fishermen. The more times they went to fish, the fewer fish they could get. In January, 2020, the government called for a 10-year fishing ban (禁渔令), covering 332 conservation areas (保护区) in the Yangtze River. Dongshun has worked with his father as a lake ranger (巡湖员) for almost 3 years. This job helps him understand how important it is to protect Dongting Lake. “I think this job is meaningful.” he said, “As the wind is blowing gently, fish are swimming happily. What a beautiful scene! The fishing ban will lead Dongting Lake to a better future.” 66．Why was the Yangtze River in great danger in the past from the passage? 67．How did Daming use to make a living? 68．What did the government call for in January, 2020? 69．What is Dongshun’s job now? 70．What do you think of Dongting Lake’s future? (自拟一句话作答) 【答案】66．Because of pollution and overfishing. 67．By fishing near Dongting Lake. 68．A 10-year fishing ban. 69．A lake ranger. 70．Better/Hopeful/… 【导语】本文叙述了大明和东顺在洞庭湖上工作的照片成为热点，介绍了洞庭湖的生态环境并强调了渔业保护的重要性，描述了政府为了保护长江而实施的十年禁渔令。 66．根据“For example, the Chinese paddlefish (中华白鲟) disappeared 2 years ago.”和“Because of pollution and overfishing (过度捕捞), the Yangtze River was in great danger.”可知，长江曾经处于巨大危险之中是因为污染和过度捕捞。故填Because of pollution and overfishing. 67．根据“Daming used to make a living by fishing near Dongting Lake.”可知，大明曾经是靠在洞庭湖附近捕鱼为生的。故填By fishing near Dongting Lake. 68．根据“In January, 2020, the government called for a 10-year fishing ban (禁渔令).”可知，在2020年1月，政府号召实施一个十年的禁渔令。故填A 10-year fishing ban. 69．根据“Dongshun has worked with his father as a lake ranger (巡湖员) for almost 3 years.”可知，东顺现在是一个巡湖员。故填A lake ranger. 70．开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案为：Better/Hopeful/… 八、作文（满分20分） 71．假如你是Simon，你决定利用即将到来的寒假，参加环境保护协会的冬令营。请你根据表格内容，写一篇英文短文向主席介绍你自己，申请加入冬令营。 身份 阳光中学(Sunshine Middle School) 8年级1班，14岁的男生 外貌 高、强壮；戴眼镜、明亮的大眼睛 性格 积极，善于交流 能力 学生会(Student Union)主席，尽可能快地完成各项工作……(举例说明) 爱好 最喜欢冬天，可以打雪仗；热爱各种野生动物，因为……(至少1点) 加入原因 理解自然环境的重要性，想尽力改善野生动物生存条件 注意： 1. 词数90左右； 2. 内容须包括所给要点，可适当发挥，条理清楚，语句连贯； 3. 文中不得出现真实的人名、校名和地名等信息。 Dear President, I would like to introduce myself to this year’s winter camp of the Environmental Protection Organization. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I look forward to hearing from you soon.

People in the town gathered. “What are you doing?” 20 asked. “Making stone soup—I’ll 21 it,” he said. When a girl asked how, he answered, “Just a stone, but it’d be 22 with beans.” The woman with beans hurried to add them. Then he noted, “A bit of meat would make it richer,” and the 23 man brought his piece. Next, a woman offered carrots, a boy a potato, a man corn. They all rushed to add their small portions. When the soup was 24 , the old man said, “Bring your bowls—let’s eat!” Everyone was happy as they tasted the warm, delicious soup. “Now we know: sharing a little gives us enough for all,” they cheered. “We’ll never go hungry again!” The old man 25 and left quietly.

A．poster B．letter C．ticket D．menu B Jim Hawkins hid behind a big barrel. His heart was beating fast when listening to the dangerous pirates (海盗) talking. “Listen, my friends,” Long John Silver said quietly. “Tomorrow morning, when we reach the island (岛屿), we will take the treasure and kill anyone who tries to stop us.” “But what about the boy and the other gentlemen on this ship?” asked one of the pirates nervously. “Ha!” Silver said angrily. “They don’t know our real plans. Once we find where the treasure is, they will be useless to us.” Jim felt very scared because he knew how dangerous they were. These men, in fact, were bad sailors and were planning to kill them. “What if they find out our plan too early?” another pirate asked worriedly. “Then we will have to act (行动) quickly,” Silver answered coldly. “I have killed many people. A young boy and a few gentlemen are no real danger to skilled pirates like us.” “Yes, Captain Silver,” the men said together excitedly. Jim knew he must tell his friends about it right away. Quietly, he began to move away from his hiding place, but suddenly his foot hit a wooden board and made a loud noise. “What was that?” Silver asked sharply (尖声地), looking around the dark places. “Maybe just the ship moving,” one pirate said. “Maybe,” Silver said, “but be careful. We cannot have any problems at this important time.” Jim held his breath, hoping they would not find him. Everyone’s safety depended on his ability (能力) to get away from it and tell his friends about the danger. —Adapted from Treasure Island 29．When did the scene of the story happen? A．In the morning.

Long ago, a good harvest meant there would be enough food for the long winter months. The whole community would work together to harvest the crops and celebrate. With no supermarkets, the harvest was the only source (来源) of food so a good harvest was for everyone to celebrate. When Is Harvest? Harvest season in the UK begins at the end of August or the start of September. In years gone by, there was an ancient festival called Lammas to celebrate the beginning of harvest. But it has always been the end that sees the most exciting moment of the harvest. In the past, the harvest would not end until the last sheaf (捆) of the crop arrived at the village and there was often a great parade (游行) to welcome it. In more modern times, the celebrations of the harvesting fall on the Harvest Festival, which is on the Sunday closest to the Harvest Moon. They include Saint Michael’s Mass on 29th September. In the past, the arrival of the last crop meant the beginning of the Harvest Supper. A big meal of meats, vegetables, fruits and puddings would be shared by the community. Everyone, old or young, rich or poor, joined in with singing, dancing and games. In more recent years, the Harvest Festival has been mainly celebrated by schools and other places. In some schools, children are often asked to bring food to be shared out to those who need it in the local community. Decorations of fruits and grains can be found in the Town Hall and there are songs, reading that give thanks for the harvest. 33．When does the harvest season in the UK usually begin? A．At the start of August. B．At the end of August. C．In the middle of September. D．At the end of September. 34．Why was a good harvest so important long ago? A．Because it could let people change for different things. B．Because it brought people good luck for the whole year. C．Because it could let more people live in the community. D．Because it was the only way to keep enough food for winter. 35．How do children celebrate the Harvest Festival in schools? A．Singing, dancing, and games. B．Sharing a meal with classmates. C．Bringing food to people in need. D．Decorating with fruits and grains. 36．Which title can be put in the blank ▲ ? A．How to Celebrate Harvest? B．Why do People Celebrate Harvest? C．Who Celebrates Harvest? D．Where to Hold Harvest Celebrations? D As the effects of climate change become more disastrous, well-known research institutions（机构）are focusing new money and attention on an idea: artificially（人工地）cooling the planet, in the hopes of buying humans more time to cut greenhouse gas emissions（排放）. That strategy, called solar geoengineering, includes reflecting more of the sun’s energy back into space—reducing global temperatures in a way that is similar to the effects of ash clouds flowing out from the volcanic eruptions（火山喷发）. The idea has been considered as a dangerous solution, as researchers on global warming worry that it would encourage people to keep burning fossil fuels（化石燃料）while bringing unexpected and harmful side effects to the planet, producing more hurricanes, wildfires, floods and other disasters. But as global warming continues, some researchers and policy experts say that worries about geoengineering should be outweighed by the great need to better understand it, in case climate change will become so terrible that the world can’t wait for better solutions. By solar geoengineering, one way to cool the earth is to put aerosols（气溶胶）into the upper part of the atmosphere where the aerosols reflect sunlight away from the earth. That process works, according to Douglas MacMartin, a researcher at Cornell University. “We know with 100% certainty that we can cool the planet,” he said in an interview. “What’s still unclear,” he added, “is what happens next.” Temperature, MacMartin said, is seen as a sign of climate effects. “What does it do to the strength of hurricanes?” he asked, “What does it do to agriculture production? What does it do to the risk of forest fires?” Another institution supported by the National Science Foundation will study hundreds of similar processes of aerosol injection, testing the effects on weather extremes around the world. One goal of the research is to look for a sweet spot: the amount of artificial cooling that can reduce extreme weather events without causing broader changes in regional rainfall patterns or similar impacts. 37．Why do researchers work on cooling the earth? A．To prevent natural disasters. B．To win time to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. C．To create volcanic eruptions. D．To encourage more people to burn fossil fuels. 38．What are researchers worried about in terms of global warming? A．More volcanoes will throw out. B．More solar energy will go into space. C．There will be more disasters in the future of the world. D．People will stop burning fossil fuels to keep warm. 39．What can we infer from Douglas’ words in an interview? A．More research remains to be done as much is still unclear. B．He is optimistic about the result of cooling the earth. C．He is worried about the reduction in agriculture production. D．He disagrees with the practice of solar geoengineering. 40．What does “sweet spot” in the last paragraph mean? A．The rainfall pattern of a region. B．The number of extreme weather events. C．The modest（适度的）drop in temperature. D．The needed amount of aerosol. 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 Have you ever stopped to look closely at a moss growing on a stone or a giant redwood reaching for the sky? Our planet is full of amazing living things, from the fastest cheetah to the tiniest ant. But these plants and animals don’t live alone. They are all connected in a web of life called an ecosystem. Every living thing plays a role in this network. For example, bees and butterflies are very important for pollination. They carry pollen from flower to flower. 41 Without this action, many plants couldn’t make fruits or seeds. Bees also communicate with each other to find food and then store sweet honey in their honeycomb. 42 They help to break down dead plants and animals, cleaning the forest and making the soil rich. This process is like magic —it removes decaying (腐烂) matter, and at the same time, creates nutrient-rich (富营养的) food for living plants. This amazing cycle shows how everything in nature is connected-even death gives life to new growth. Sadly, human activities sometimes break these connections. When we cut down too many trees like bamboo or ginkgo, animals lose their homes. Forests that used to be home to many frogs and butterflies become quiet. 43 For this reason, it is our duty to protect their homes and understand the importance of every life. So, what can we do? We can start small. We can protect the environment by planting trees or even growing flowers like roses in our gardens. 44 During the walk, we can imagine the complex (复杂的) connections between all the living things we see. 45 When we understand that we are also a part of this ecosystem, we can learn to get on well with nature. Let’s promise to be good friends to our planet and all its wonderful living things. A．Protecting nature means protecting ourselves in the long run. B．This loss shows us the harm of an unhealthy ecosystem. C．Other small living things, like mushrooms, also play a part. D．We can also take a walk in nature to learn more about it. E．Actually, even the smallest insect can help the ecosystem. F．In fact, over 75 percent of flowering plants need help with pollination. 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，在短文空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。将所填答案填写在相应题号的横线上。 He Jing is 36 years old.

In the photos, while they are working on the boat on Dongting Lake, lots of fish are jumping into the fish bin (鱼舱). Dongting Lake is the second freshwater (淡水) lake in China, it’s home to nearly 400 kinds of fishes. But in the past, people threw litter and factories put waste water into the lake. Even worse, a large number of fish were caught by fishermen. Because of pollution and overfishing (过度捕捞), the Yangtze River was in great danger. For example, the Chinese paddlefish (中华白鲟) disappeared 2 years ago. Daming used to make a living by fishing near Dongting Lake. However, life was gradually becoming difficult for Daming and other fishermen. The more times they went to fish, the fewer fish they could get. In January, 2020, the government called for a 10-year fishing ban (禁渔令), covering 332 conservation areas (保护区) in the Yangtze River. Dongshun has worked with his father as a lake ranger (巡湖员) for almost 3 years. This job helps him understand how important it is to protect Dongting Lake. “I think this job is meaningful.” he said, “As the wind is blowing gently, fish are swimming happily. What a beautiful scene! The fishing ban will lead Dongting Lake to a better future.” 66．Why was the Yangtze River in great danger in the past from the passage? 67．How did Daming use to make a living? 68．What did the government call for in January, 2020? 69．What is Dongshun’s job now? 70．What do you think of Dongting Lake’s future?
