There’s plastic litter at the bottom of the ocean and on top of Mount Qomolangma. Now plastic has been found in another unlikely place: on the backs of hermit crabs (寄居蟹). According to a study published in February, hermit crabs are using plastic litter as shells. Zuzanna Jagiello is a biologist at the University of Warsaw, in Poland. She’s the study’s lead author. Jagiello said, “For me, a hermit crab in a plastic shell could be an icon of our times. They don’t have homes, so they use rubbish.” Human activity has had a major influence on the environment. Hermit crabs using plastic waste as shells is one example of that impact. Hermit crabs are small, soft-bodied crabs that live near oceans. To protect themselves from predators (捕食者), the crabs typically wear seashells that have been left behind by dead sea snails (海螺). But according to February’s study, at least 386 hermit crabs have been documented wearing rubbish. Of the world’s 16 species of hermit crabs that live on land, 10 have been seen wearing trash. Nearly nine out of every ten of those crabs were wearing plastic waste, such as bottle caps. Jagiello says that she and her team first learned about hermit crabs wearing rubbish when they noticed photos of them posted online. They decided to learn more by going on research. For their study, the researchers scanned the Internet for photos of hermit crabs wearing rubbish. They found photos from all over the world. Some had been taken by scientists. Some had been taken by nature photographers. Many had been taken by people who were just curious. Why are hermit crabs choosing litter instead of snail shells? Scientists have guesses. The number of some sea snails is going down. Hermit crabs could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough seashells. It’s also possible that crabs are choosing plastic because it’s light and easy to carry, or they’re drawn to its flashy colors. Scientists agree that plastic pollution harms wildlife and habitats in many ways. But it isn’t clear that the crabs are in any danger. 29. What’s the purpose of writing the first paragraph? A. To describe water pollution. B. To tell us that plastic is everywhere. C. To show plastic waste is harmful to us. D. To lead us to think about the topic of the text. 30. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us? Hermit crabs ______. A. find their new homes B. have a small, soft body C. usually wear seashells D. can protect themselves 31. What are the possible reasons for hermit crabs using plastic according to the passage? ①There are more sea snails than before. ② Plastic has bright colours that the crabs like. ③ Plastic is light and easy for the crabs to carry. ④ Other animals that want to eat the crabs are afraid of plastic. A. ①② B. ②③ C. ③④ D. ①③ 32. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Plastic pollution in deep oceans B. Tips for protecting hermit crabs C. Creative crabs wearing rubbish D. Our influence on the environment 【答案】29. D 30. A 31. B 32. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了寄居蟹因海洋塑料污染而被迫将塑料垃圾当作外壳使用的现象，反映了人类活动对自然环境的深远影响。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。第一段通过联合国数据说明每天有大量塑料垃圾流入水域，且塑料垃圾遍布海洋底部和珠穆朗玛峰顶部，目的是引出下文“寄居蟹使用塑料垃圾作为外壳”这一核心话题。故选D。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。第四段先介绍寄居蟹的基本特征，再重点说明它们通常会借用海螺的空壳保护自己，同时补充有记录显示部分寄居蟹开始使用垃圾作为“外壳”，核心是围绕寄居蟹的“外壳使用情况”展开，即它们找到了新的“家”（外壳）。故选A。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Why are hermit crabs choosing litter instead of snail shells? Scientists have guesses…It’s also possible that crabs are choosing plastic because it’s light and easy to carry, or they’re drawn to its flashy colors.”可知，寄居蟹选择塑料的可能原因是塑料轻便易携带、颜色鲜艳吸引它们（②③）。故选B。 【32题详解】 最佳标题题。文章核心围绕“寄居蟹使用塑料垃圾作为外壳”这一特殊现象展开，结合塑料污染的背景，体现人类活动对环境的影响。选项D“我们对环境的影响”符合题意。故选D。 C Libraries help us learn, and gyms keep us strong. But did you know buildings can also change how we feel every day? Good architecture (建筑设计) shapes not just our mood, but who we grow to be. For example, rooms with lower ceilings help us focus (集中)—great for studying or doing homework. Rooms with higher ceilings make us more creative, like when we draw pictures or write stories. Adding nature to buildings, such as plants by windows or small gardens on roofs, is good for both our body and mind. A study from Germany’s Heidelberg University found that kids who grow up in the countryside, close to trees and fields, have fewer mental health problems than those in busy cities. Take Vancouver (温哥华), Canada: this city is surrounded by mountains and the ocean. It plans buildings carefully so tall ones don’t block views of the sea or hills. People there can always see green trees and blue water from their windows, which makes them feel happy and calm. Boring buildings, however, can make us feel sad. The Guardian tells about a study in New York: people walked faster past gray, glass buildings near a big supermarket. Their faces looked tired, and they didn’t smile. But when they reached lively streets with colorful shops and small parks, their mood got better—they walked more slowly and even talked to strangers. To make buildings friendlier, designers should avoid too many straight lines and flat walls. These make cities look like big, dull boxes and stop sunlight from making pretty shadows, like the patterns leaves make on the ground. Instead, architects can use colors to create different feelings. Bright colors like yellow and orange make us feel energetic, like a sunny day at the park. Calm colors like blue and green help us relax, like sitting by a quiet lake, says Forbes magazine. Influences on Daily Life ·Hospitals: Patients in dark rooms use more medicine and feel more stressed. But those in bright rooms with big windows get better faster—sometimes even 20% quicker! ·Schools: Small, crowded classrooms with no plants can slow kids’ brain development by 25%. Big, bright rooms with trees outside help students learn better and remember more. ·Homes: Living near busy roads with tall, gray buildings may make family arguments(争论)at night go up by 9%. Neighborhoods with small parks or gardens have happier families. So, next time you walk outside, look around. Notice the buildings that make you smile—the ones with colors, plants, or windows looking at trees. A little bit of nature and a lot of heart in architecture are the best gifts for our minds and bodies! 33. Which of the following can help us focus according to the passage? A. Rooms with higher ceilings. B. Rooms with lower ceilings. C. Colorful shops and small parks. D. Straight lines and flat walls. 34. What do we know about Vancouver from the passage? A. It has many gray glass buildings. B. It is full of busy streets and supermarkets. C. It designs buildings to let people see nature easily. D. It has more mental health problems than the countryside. 35. Which of the following best describes the passage’s structure(结构)? A. Question→Answer→Reasons→Warnings→Details→Conclusion B. Study→Results→Experiences→Examples→Influences→Conclusion C. Topic→Examples→Problems→Methods→Influences→Conclusion D. Story→Problems→Study→Differences→Suggestions→Conclusion 36. What is the main idea of the passage? A. To talk about the countryside and the city life. B. To tell stories about different buildings in cities. C. To advise people to work as architects in future. D. To explain how buildings influence our feelings. 【答案】33. B 34. C 35. C 36.

I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, “Hi, handsome! My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and warmly responded, “Of course you may!” She gave me a giant squeeze (拥抱). “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent (幼稚的) age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel.” “No, seriously?” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. After class we walked to the Student Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon (校园偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention from other students. She was living it up. At the end of the term, we invited Rose to speak at a student gathering. I’ll never forget what she taught us. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. There are so many people walking around who are dead, and they don’t even know it.” she said. “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older.

It is one of the most well-known stories from The Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars (《二十四孝》), a book that records true stories of children showing respect and love to their parents. Wang Xiang lived during the Three Kingdoms period. His mother died when he was very young. Later, his father married a new wife, who was not kind to him. She often treated him badly and spoke ill of him to his father. Even so, Wang Xiang never complained. He always obeyed his stepmother and tried his best to make her happy. One cold winter, his stepmother suddenly fell ill. She felt very weak and wanted to eat fresh carp soup badly. But the weather was extremely cold. The river was completely covered with thick ice. There was no way to catch any carp. Wang Xiang was very worried about his stepmother’s health. He thought hard and finally had an idea. He ran to the river, took off his coat and lay down on the cold ice. The ice was freezing, and his body felt like it was in a snowstorm. But he didn’t care about the cold. He kept lying there, hoping his body heat could melt (融化) the ice. After a while, the ice under him slowly melted. To his surprise, two lively carps jumped out of the water. He quickly caught them and ran home to make soup for his stepmother. When his stepmother drank the soup, she was deeply moved. From then on, she changed her attitude (态度) towards Wang Xiang and treated him like her own son. This story tells us the importance of filial piety. Even when facing difficulties, we should always respect and care for our parents. It has been passed down for thousands of years and still teaches people to love their family members. 66.

The electric ice cream van can travel up to about 80 miles an hour. The owner Paddy McGuinness changed a gas-powered car to the electric one and added monster truck tyres. In summer, McGuinness serves ice cream from the van. Hope he won’t pour out any scoops when he speeds up! The tallest sandcastle You’d need a really big wave to wash away this beachy building. The world’s tallest sandcastle stood 21.16 metres high—that’s about as high as four adult giraffes standing on top of each other. It was handmade in Denmark. To create the castle,30 artists were needed. Do you wonder how long it took the builders to shake the sand out of their clothes? The largest floor lamp You might have a hard time changing this lamp’s light bulb. Almost as tall as a three-storey house, the largest floor lamp is 30 feet high with a shade that measures 13 feet across. The base of the lamp even includes heated seats for visitors in Norway. Luckily, no one needs to climb the pole and pull the switch—the lamp is turned on with the timer. The talking text machine Turn printed or digital words into your own paper books with sounds. Just put OrCam Read near the words, and the little machine’s camera will recognize (识别) the text and read the words aloud.

B According to the United Nations, enough plastic waste to fill 2,000 rubbish trucks is poured into waterways such as oceans, rivers, and lakes each day. There’s plastic litter at the bottom of the ocean and on top of Mount Qomolangma. Now plastic has been found in another unlikely place: on the backs of hermit crabs (寄居蟹). According to a study published in February, hermit crabs are using plastic litter as shells. Zuzanna Jagiello is a biologist at the University of Warsaw, in Poland. She’s the study’s lead author. Jagiello said, “For me, a hermit crab in a plastic shell could be an icon of our times. They don’t have homes, so they use rubbish.” Human activity has had a major influence on the environment. Hermit crabs using plastic waste as shells is one example of that impact. Hermit crabs are small, soft-bodied crabs that live near oceans. To protect themselves from predators (捕食者), the crabs typically wear seashells that have been left behind by dead sea snails (海螺). But according to February’s study, at least 386 hermit crabs have been documented wearing rubbish. Of the world’s 16 species of hermit crabs that live on land, 10 have been seen wearing trash. Nearly nine out of every ten of those crabs were wearing plastic waste, such as bottle caps. Jagiello says that she and her team first learned about hermit crabs wearing rubbish when they noticed photos of them posted online. They decided to learn more by going on research. For their study, the researchers scanned the Internet for photos of hermit crabs wearing rubbish. They found photos from all over the world. Some had been taken by scientists. Some had been taken by nature photographers. Many had been taken by people who were just curious. Why are hermit crabs choosing litter instead of snail shells? Scientists have guesses. The number of some sea snails is going down. Hermit crabs could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough seashells. It’s also possible that crabs are choosing plastic because it’s light and easy to carry, or they’re drawn to its flashy colors. Scientists agree that plastic pollution harms wildlife and habitats in many ways. But it isn’t clear that the crabs are in any danger. 29. What’s the purpose of writing the first paragraph? A. To describe water pollution. B. To tell us that plastic is everywhere. C. To show plastic waste is harmful to us. D. To lead us to think about the topic of the text. 30. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us? Hermit crabs ______. A. find their new homes B. have a small, soft body C. usually wear seashells D. can protect themselves 31. What are the possible reasons for hermit crabs using plastic according to the passage? ①There are more sea snails than before. ② Plastic has bright colours that the crabs like. ③ Plastic is light and easy for the crabs to carry. ④ Other animals that want to eat the crabs are afraid of plastic. A. ①② B. ②③ C. ③④ D. ①③ 32. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Plastic pollution in deep oceans B. Tips for protecting hermit crabs C. Creative crabs wearing rubbish D. Our influence on the environment C Libraries help us learn, and gyms keep us strong. But did you know buildings can also change how we feel every day? Good architecture (建筑设计) shapes not just our mood, but who we grow to be. For example, rooms with lower ceilings help us focus (集中)—great for studying or doing homework. Rooms with higher ceilings make us more creative, like when we draw pictures or write stories. Adding nature to buildings, such as plants by windows or small gardens on roofs, is good for both our body and mind. A study from Germany’s Heidelberg University found that kids who grow up in the countryside, close to trees and fields, have fewer mental health problems than those in busy cities. Take Vancouver (温哥华), Canada: this city is surrounded by mountains and the ocean. It plans buildings carefully so tall ones don’t block views of the sea or hills. People there can always see green trees and blue water from their windows, which makes them feel happy and calm. Boring buildings, however, can make us feel sad. The Guardian tells about a study in New York: people walked faster past gray, glass buildings near a big supermarket. Their faces looked tired, and they didn’t smile. But when they reached lively streets with colorful shops and small parks, their mood got better—they walked more slowly and even talked to strangers. To make buildings friendlier, designers should avoid too many straight lines and flat walls. These make cities look like big, dull boxes and stop sunlight from making pretty shadows, like the patterns leaves make on the ground. Instead, architects can use colors to create different feelings. Bright colors like yellow and orange make us feel energetic, like a sunny day at the park. Calm colors like blue and green help us relax, like sitting by a quiet lake, says Forbes magazine. Influences on Daily Life ·Hospitals: Patients in dark rooms use more medicine and feel more stressed. But those in bright rooms with big windows get better faster—sometimes even 20% quicker! ·Schools: Small, crowded classrooms with no plants can slow kids’ brain development by 25%. Big, bright rooms with trees outside help students learn better and remember more. ·Homes: Living near busy roads with tall, gray buildings may make family arguments(争论)at night go up by 9%. Neighborhoods with small parks or gardens have happier families. So, next time you walk outside, look around. Notice the buildings that make you smile—the ones with colors, plants, or windows looking at trees. A little bit of nature and a lot of heart in architecture are the best gifts for our minds and bodies! 33. Which of the following can help us focus according to the passage? A. Rooms with higher ceilings. B. Rooms with lower ceilings. C. Colorful shops and small parks. D. Straight lines and flat walls. 34. What do we know about Vancouver from the passage? A. It has many gray glass buildings. B. It is full of busy streets and supermarkets. C. It designs buildings to let people see nature easily. D.

Study→Results→Experiences→Examples→Influences→Conclusion C. Topic→Examples→Problems→Methods→Influences→Conclusion D. Story→Problems→Study→Differences→Suggestions→Conclusion 36. What is the main idea of the passage? A. To talk about the countryside and the city life. B. To tell stories about different buildings in cities. C. To advise people to work as architects in future. D. To explain how buildings influence our feelings. D On the first day of school, our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, “Hi, handsome! My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and warmly responded, “Of course you may!” She gave me a giant squeeze (拥抱). “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent (幼稚的) age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel.” “No, seriously?” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. After class we walked to the Student Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon (校园偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention from other students. She was living it up. At the end of the term, we invited Rose to speak at a student gathering. I’ll never forget what she taught us. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. There are so many people walking around who are dead, and they don’t even know it.” she said. “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability,” she added. “But growing up requires finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. ” She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics (歌词) and live them out in our daily life. At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years. We’d always keep her in mind because it is the wonderful woman who taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be. 37. Why did Rose go to college according to the passage? A. To share her wisdom and experience. B. To find out the secret of living longer. C. To make her college dream come true. D. To get married to a wealthy husband. 38. The meaning of the underlined phrase “living it up” probably means ________. A. enjoying life B. growing older C. working hard D. losing herself 39. Which of the correct order of the following events? a. Rose graduated from college. b. Rose gave an encouraging speech. c. Rose and the writer became friends. d. Rose introduced herself to the writer. e. Rose became popular among students. f. Rose greeted the writer with a big hug. A. f-e-b-c B. f-c-a-b C. d-b-e-a D. d-c-b-a 40 What lesson can we learn from Rose’s story? A. Being generous to people can gain respect from them. B Growing up is easy while growing older needs efforts. C. Doing what we dream of leads to no regrets in the future. D. Never to stop studying makes people stay young forever. 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Do you ever feel that your study habits simply don’t work?

It is one of the most well-known stories from The Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars (《二十四孝》), a book that records true stories of children showing respect and love to their parents. Wang Xiang lived during the Three Kingdoms period. His mother died when he was very young. Later, his father married a new wife, who was not kind to him. She often treated him badly and spoke ill of him to his father. Even so, Wang Xiang never complained. He always obeyed his stepmother and tried his best to make her happy. One cold winter, his stepmother suddenly fell ill. She felt very weak and wanted to eat fresh carp soup badly. But the weather was extremely cold. The river was completely covered with thick ice. There was no way to catch any carp. Wang Xiang was very worried about his stepmother’s health. He thought hard and finally had an idea. He ran to the river, took off his coat and lay down on the cold ice. The ice was freezing, and his body felt like it was in a snowstorm. But he didn’t care about the cold. He kept lying there, hoping his body heat could melt (融化) the ice. After a while, the ice under him slowly melted. To his surprise, two lively carps jumped out of the water. He quickly caught them and ran home to make soup for his stepmother. When his stepmother drank the soup, she was deeply moved. From then on, she changed her attitude (态度) towards Wang Xiang and treated him like her own son. This story tells us the importance of filial piety. Even when facing difficulties, we should always respect and care for our parents. It has been passed down for thousands of years and still teaches people to love their family members. 66.
