Passage 5
根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词。
The world is full of many interesting sounds. Some are unpleasant to our e 1 while others are very pleasant to hear. In d 2 life you may hear hundreds of sounds. All sounds are different. Some may be soft; others may be loud. Some sounds are high, others are l 3 .
Some sounds are useful. W 4 sound we can’t talk or listen to each other. The ringing of clock w 5 people up. The hooting (鸣笛声) of a car warns people there may be d 6 .
Some sounds are dangerous. When planes fly above the land, the sounds can break the house down. Very loud sound can even m 7 people deaf.
We know sound travels about one kilometer in three s 8 . In a thunder storm you see the lightning first and then hear the thunder. This is because light travels m 9 faster than sound.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。短文讲了有关声音的问题。
1. 句意:有些声音对我们来说不好听而另一些声音听起来却非常悦耳。根据“while others are very pleasant to hear”及首字母提示可知,此处表达声音听起来不好听,听的感官ear“耳朵”符合语境,此处指我们的耳朵,应用复数形式。故填(e)ars。
2. 句意:在日程生活中,你也许听到数百种声音。根据语境及句意并结合首字母可推测,daily“日常的”符合语境,形容词,修饰life。故填(d)aily。
3. 句意:有些声音高,有些声音低。根据“Some sounds are high”及首字母提示可知,此处应是有些声音低,与前面“有些声音高”对应。故填(l)ow。
4. 句意:没有声音,我们不能交谈,也不能彼此倾听。根据“we can’t talk or listen to each other”可知,我们不能交谈,也不能彼此倾听,所以推知此处应是没有了声音,结合首字母,without“没有”符合语境,因位于句首,首字母w需大写。故填(W)ithout。
5. 句意:钟的铃声把人们叫醒。根据“The ringing of clock w ... people up.”及首字母提示可知,此处应是动词wake“叫醒”,wake sb up“把某人唤醒”,因主语为The ringing of clock,第三人称单数,所以动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填(w)akes。
6. 句意:汽车的鸣笛声警告人们可能有危险。根据“The hooting (鸣笛声) of a car warns people there may be d ... .”及首字母提示可知,此处应表达可能有危险;又因“there may be d ...”为there be句型,所以空处应用名词作主语,danger“危险”,不可数名词。故填(d)anger。
7. 句意:很大的声音甚至会使人们耳聋。根据“Very loud sound can even m ... people deaf.”及首字母提示可知,make“使”符合语境,make sb + 形容词“使某人……”;又因位于情态动词后,应用动词原形。故填(m)ake。
8. 句意:我们知道声音在三秒钟之内传播大约1000米。根据“We know sound travels about one kilometer in three s ... .”及首字母提示和常识可知,second“秒”符合语境,因位于three之后,所以用名词复数。故填(s)econds。
9. 句意:这是因为光速比声速传播快得多。根据“This is because light travels m ... faster than sound.”及首字母提示可知,此处应用much修饰比较级。故填(m)uch。
10. 句意:下一次你看到闪电的时候,数一数过了几秒能听到打雷。根据“Divide (除) this number by 3. It will tell you how far the thunder storm is.”可知,把这个数字除以3,它会告诉你雷还有多远即雷声还没有到达,因而推知前面应是在雷到来之前数数,结合首字母,before“以前,之前”符合语境。故填(b)efore。
Passage 6

8. 句意:然而,对人们来说面对地震那些有用的东西不是很足够。句子是“enough for sb. to do”的结构,根据首字母提示及“earthquakes”可知表达“面对地震”,用动词“face”。故填(f)ace。
9. 句意:最重要的事情是训练人们。名词“part”用形容词修饰,根据“the most”可知是多音节形容词最高级形式,根据首字母提示可知句子表达“最重要的”,用“the most important”。故填(i)mportant。
10. 句意:这将会让人们在真正地震的时候思考并快速移动,让他们更好地保护自己。句子用“let sb. do”的结构,根据“think and”可知用动词原形形成并列结构。根据首字母提示及“faster during real earthquake”可知表达移动,用动词“move”。故填(m)ove。

Passage 15
As students, we play an important role in protecting the environment. There are many easy ways we can practice environmental protection in our daily lives, and our school even encourages us to do so.
Every morning, I bring my own reusable water bottle to school instead of buying plastic ones. Plastic bottles are h 1 to the environment because they take a long time to decompose. At lunchtime, I always finish all the food on my plate to avoid food w 2 . Our teacher tells us that many people around the world don’t have enough to eat, so we should cherish every grain.
After class, my classmates and I often take part in clean-up activities. We pick up litter in the school yard and separate it into different bins—one for recyclable things like paper and bottles, and another for non-recyclable waste. This helps workers recycle materials more e 3 . Sometimes, we also plant small trees in the school garden. Trees can a 4 carbon dioxide and release oxygen, making the air fresher.
In our art class, we even use old materials to make handicrafts. For example, we turn empty milk cartons into pencil boxes and old cloth into small bags. This not only reduces waste but also helps us develop our c 5 . Our teacher often says, “Reusing things is a good way to save resources.”

We also spread environmental knowledge to our families. I tell my parents to use cloth shopping bags instead of plastic ones, and we now sort our household waste together. Small actions can make a big d 7 .
Protecting the environment is not a difficult task. It needs our continuous e 8 . Every time we save a piece of paper, turn off a light, or plant a tree, we are doing something good for our planet. I believe that if all students join in, we can create a cleaner and greener world. Let’s start with small things and keep going—our earth will t 9 us with a better living environment. Remember, environmental protection is not just a slogan, but a way of l 10 we should stick to.

Passage 11 -15
根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词,使其意思完整。
Passage 1
There are many wetlands in China. Some of them have become important n 1 reserves. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are a 2 them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home to m 3 different kinds of birds and animals.
The t 4 in the wetlands is not too high or too low. There i 5 a lot of rain and sunshine too. The wetlands are really g 6 places for wildlife. We protect wetlands b 7 they can provide food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds.
Wetlands are i 8 because they also prevent floods from happening. L 9 more and more people begin to know the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, we can invite many people to j 10 in many activities to tell people more about wetlands around the world. We hope humans can live in harmony with animals.
Passage 2
Antarctica is the coldest place on earth. Ice c 1 almost all the continent (大陆). People once recorded the lowest t 2 there, and it was -89℃! It is also the driest continent of the seven continents b 3 there is very little rainfall all year round.
It is hard to g 4 there and there is little food and nothing for people to build houses from. Nobody has lived in Antarctica for thousands of years. H 5 , today it is possible for people to explore (探索) and study the continent. S 6 from all over the world go there. Some are brave enough to live in Antarctica for part of the year.
Few people stay l 7 than six months. The sun r 8 and sets only once a year there. That means there are six months of d 9 and then six months of darkness. D 10 the winter, there is no sun and it takes a lot more than a fire and wool socks to keep you warm.
Passage 3
A Spring Morning
(Meng Haoran)
This spring morning in bed I’m lying.
Not to awake till birds are crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers!
Analysis:
The poem might be one of the most f 1 poems about spring in China. It’s simple and catchy(朗朗上口的). The poet doesn’t directly say how m 2 he loves spring. I 3 he writes about the details(细节)of the season: the birds, wind rain showers and fallen f 4 .
The way he talks about these things shows us the j 5 he feels during springtime. Instead of t 6 about the bright colors of flowers, Meng writes about the sounds of spring. He h 7 birds singing in the morning and r 8 the sounds of the wind and rain at night.
Writing about these sounds allows(允许) r 9 to picture spring using t 10 own imagination (想象力).
Passage 4
“Green” is more than just a colour. It means that you should live to p 1 the environment-the water, the land and the air. You can be a green kid by following these steps.
When you use l 2 of something, you do a good thing for the Earth. For example, a shorter shower m 3 you use less water. Turn off the water when you are brushing your t 4 .
Many times, even if you don’t need something, someone e 5 might just need it. For example, if your younger sister doesn’t play with her toy bear, you can give it to your neighbour. Try to c 6 books, toys, even clothes with friends if they also have some.
It’s true that pollution is a great p 7 now, but the Earth is still a beautiful and interesting place. Go for a hike, visit nature gardens, climb mountains and take a boat in the r 8 . Outdoor activities are g 9 for you. You can also plant trees, collect reusable (可重复使用的) things and so on. B 10 a green kid is so easy.
Passage 5
The world is full of many interesting sounds. Some are unpleasant to our e 1 while others are very pleasant to hear. In d 2 life you may hear hundreds of sounds. All sounds are different. Some may be soft; others may be loud. Some sounds are high, others are l 3 .
Some sounds are useful. W 4 sound we can’t talk or listen to each other. The ringing of clock w 5 people up. The hooting (鸣笛声) of a car warns people there may be d 6 .
Some sounds are dangerous. When planes fly above the land, the sounds can break the house down. Very loud sound can even m 7 people deaf.
We know sound travels about one kilometer in three s 8 . In a thunder storm you see the lightning first and then hear the thunder. This is because light travels m 9 faster than sound.
Next time you see lightning, count the number b 10 you hear the thunder.
Divide (除) this number by 3. It will tell you how far the thunder storm is.
Passage 6
根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词,使其意思完整。
Earthquakes happen very often in Tokyo, but Tokyo is not an unlucky city. Many special parks have been built in Tokyo to keep people s 1 during earthquakes. These parks look nothing different from the other parks, but when earthquakes h 2 , they become life-saving places.
Many u 3 things in those special parks can meet people’s basic meets. For e 4 , it is usually hard for people to get water after earthquakes. In the special parks, people can g 5 drinking water from the water pump. I 6 people need to use toilet, they can choose special toilets that can be used without water. What’s m 7 , if people need to cook in the parks, some special benches can become cooking better.
However, those useful things are not enough for people to f 8 earthquakes. The most i 9 part lies in training people. This will let people think and m 10 faster during real earthquakes and let them protect themselves better.
Passage 7
根据短文内容及首字母提示填写单词,使短文意思完整。
Do you like winter? It’s the coldest season. Here are some things everyone should know a 1 winter.
Winter is the season when the temperature d 2 , white snow covers the ground. When the temperature is below zero, water freezes and ice forms. Everything becomes w 3 and looks very beautiful.
After a heavy snowfall, children play in the snow. They build snow houses, make s 4 and have snowball fights. They t 5 balls at each other. Everyone has a good time in the d 6 snow.
The cold weather can also be dangerous, sometimes people slip on the i 7 and cars slide down hills knocking into each other. Some people also catch an a 8 cold when they stay out in the cold.
Because winter is so cold, people have to find ways to keep w 9 . People wear heavy coats, scarves for their necks, gloves for their hands and boots for their feet.
Children drink hot milk w 10 they come in from the cold. And families sit around the fire at night and talk about the things they did during the day.
Passage 8
The environment is everything around us in the natural world. It is the earth, the air, rivers, lakes, f 1 and seas. These are what human beings depend on for a living.
All n 2 waste is recycled. Animal waste and dead bodies are broken down by small creatures (生物), like those worms in the soil. This is their f 3 . The carbon dioxide that people and animals breathe out is used by plants to breathe and help them g 4 . Plants give out oxygen which people and animals need to breathe in. Plants take in w 5 through their roots. They pass it out through their leaves as moisture (水分). This moisture, together with water vapour coming f 6 rivers and seas, rises and turns into water droplets and forms clouds. Larger water droplets then f 7 down in the form of rain. In this way, the water goes b 8 to the earth, rivers and seas to be used again.
However, humans have made a lot of changes to the earth. The technology and industry have made life e 9 , but they also produce a lot of new waste. Nature finds this new waste hard or i 10 to recycle. Man shall deal with this problem before it is too late.
Passage 9
Dopamine (多巴胺) dressing has been popular on the short video platform TikTok for a while. It encourages people to choose colourful clothing so that they can get m 1 dopamine and feel happier. But is there really any science b 2 this?
Dopamine is a chemical in our brain. It can i 3 how we feel. According to Science Focus magazine, a 4 there is no study about how colourful clothes can increase dopamine, there are studies that showed a r 5 between the clothes we wear and how we act and feel.
One study showed that wearing red can l 6 to better physical performance. They found that in soccer matches over the last 55 years, teams w 7 a red kit always played better in home games than any other kit color. A 8 study showed that wearing green can make people become more creative. Green has also been found to help people relax, likely because it makes us t 9 of nature.
But there are some p 10 with these studies, as people from different cultures have different ideas about colors. That’s what scientists need to study further.
Passage 10
One beautiful summer morning, a farmer went to check his animal traps (陷阱). In one trap, he found a beautiful eagle. At f 1 , he thought that he would kill the eagle and eat it. But then he said to h 2 , “This is a beautiful and special bird. It often c 3 rabbits and mice that eat my crops. I’ll let it go.” He opened the trap, and the eagle spread its w 4 and flew up into the blue sky. The eagle was very grateful (感激的) to the farmer because it was f 5 again. It continued to live on the farmer’s land and catch mice and rabbits.
Later that summer, the farmer was building a wall. It was high and m 6 of large stones. Suddenly, the wall started to fall, but the farmer did not notice. The eagle, flying above, saw that the farmer was in d 7 . It flew down and grabbed (抓住) the farmer’s h 8 off his head. The farmer shouted, “Hey! Bring that back!” The eagle flew a short distance and dropped the hat. The angry farmer p 9 up his hat and walked back. He saw that the stone wall had fallen. The farmer smiled and thought, “The eagle repaid (报答) me when I most needed h 10 .”
Passage 11
Rottnest Island
Yesterday we went over to Rottnest Island. Rottnest is a beautiful place. It’s a nature park, s 1 there’s no hunting or shooting or camping. Some kinds of fishing are allowed, however, and it’s a great place to swim. It’s a great place f 2 bird watching and whale watching in the winter.
It looks like a s 3 place. All the old forests were cut down long ago, so the island is covered in g 4 and bushes. There are many salt lakes. I read in the guidebook that there are a lot of shrimps(小虾) in these lakes and of course the b 5 love them.
Most people come to see the quokkas, which are a kind of wallaby. That is h 6 the island got its name: Rottnest(rats’ nest). The quokkas live in holes in the g 7 during most of the day and are as big as a hare. Wallabies k 8 their young in a pouch for about two months, jutst like kangaroos. It sounds like a very easy life for the young wallaby!
The problem with the quokkas is that they will eat anything green;they e 9 love the leaves of young trees. The West Australia National Parks are doing a lot of conservation work on the island. They are planting new forests; these are separated from the r 10 of the island by strong fences.
Passage 12
