You may say that it is Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls is really very beautiful, but when we talk about the height, Angel Falls is the highest in the world. It is located deep in the jungle (丛林) of Venezuela (委内瑞拉). Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It’s very hard to get there. If you went by car, you would have to travel for weeks through the jungle. If you went by plane from Caracas, a city on the southern coast, it would take about four hours. One of the most interesting facts about Angel Falls is how it got its name. It was named after an American pilot. His name was Jimmy Angel. In 1937, his plane crashed near the waterfall. Though local people already knew about it, his story made it famous, and it was later named after him. Angel Falls drops nearly a kilometre from a table-top mountain. The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds. The height of the waterfall is so great that by the time the water reaches the ground, it has already turned into fog (雾). If you have a chance to visit it, you’ll never forget it! 1．Few people have ever seen Angel Falls because ________.

He takes some useful things and food and rides his motorcycle into the forest to start a day’s work. When he is working, Hu often reports what he sees by using a phone app called “Inspection Assistant”. If there are some problems with the trees or there might be a fire, Hu will take some photos and put them online through the app. And the other workers will come to work on the problems soon. Through the app, people can also see how many forest rangers are in the forest, and where they are. Before they started using the app, the forest rangers had to go back to ask for help. And that took much time. Hu and his teammates patrol the mountains at least 12 times a month, walking four to eight kilometers each time. It is said that the forest rangers at the Wuyishan National Park patrolled 12,100 times in 2022. They went 32,800 kilometers. They looked after the forest well. At the same time, the park also used drones (无人机) to help the workers patrol the mountains. Because of the use of the Internet and the hard work of the forest rangers, there are more and more animals and trees in the mountains. 1．What can we learn from the first paragraph?

This can either be fresh water, salty water or mixed water. They form naturally or are made by humans when water collects and cannot run off. Wetlands are on almost every continent (洲). Wetlands are really important. More than 40% of the world’s plants and animals depend on wetlands to live. Wetlands also help fight climate change by taking in lots of carbon (碳) to reduce CO2 in the air. During heavy rain, they take in water to reduce flooding, and in dry seasons, they slowly let stored water go to help fight droughts (干旱). Over 1 billion people live on wetlands for jobs like fishing, rice farming, and tourism. The world’s diverse wetlands are vital sources of food for the global population. However, wetlands are disappearing fast. Since 1970, about 35% of wetlands have been lost. Wastes from people’s daily life and factory production harm these areas. Dams (水坝) stop rivers and this shrinks wetlands. Invasive species (入侵物种) also cause problems. Some plants grow quickly, pushing out local species and harming fish by reducing O2. Protecting wetlands requires global action. In 1971, 172 countries signed the Convention on Wetlands to protect these ecosystems. For example, in 2020, China’s wetland protection rate was 52.7%, with a planned increase of 2.4% every five years. And the UK plans to create and restore 100,000 hectares of wetlands by 2050. It isn’t just governments’ responsibility to protect wetlands. Everyone can help. Simple actions like planting native (本土的) trees near rivers, or joining clean-up activities make a difference. By valuing wetlands and working together, we can protect these important ecosystems for our planet’s future. 1．Wetlands ________. A．are only covered by fresh water B．aren’t created by humans C．can help fight climate change D．can’t be used to grow rice 2．What does the underlined word “shrinks” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Puts down. B．Cuts down. C．Cleans up. D．Builds up. 3．Which of the following can protect wetlands? A．Reducing polluted water. B．Building more dams. C．Growing foreign plants. D．Protecting all species. 4．Which picture correctly shows China’s planned wetland protection rate by 2025? A． B． C． D． 5．What does the writer want to tell us in the last two paragraphs? A．What and where are wetlands? B．What problems do wetlands face? C．Why are wetlands important? D．How can wetlands be protected? 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文讲述了湿地的重要性、面临的消失问题，以及全球和个人应如何保护湿地。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Wetlands also help fight climate change by taking in lots of carbon ( 碳 ) to reduce CO2 in the air.”可知，湿地可以帮助应对气候变化。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Dams stop rivers and this shrinks wetlands.”可知，水坝阻挡了河流，这会使湿地面积缩小，因此shrinks意为“缩小，减少”，与cuts down意思相近。 故选B 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Wastes from people’s daily life and factory production harm these areas.”可知，减少污水排放可以保护湿地。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段中“...in 2020, China’s wetland protection rate was 52.7%, with a planned increase of 2.4% every five years.”可知，2020年，中国湿地保护率为52.7%，计划每5年提高2.4%；据此可以推断，到2025年，中国的湿地保护率应该是52.7%+2.4% =55.1%，D选项图片符合。故选D。 5．主旨大意题。通读最后两段可知，最后两段主要讲述了保护湿地需要全球行动，政府和每个人都可以采取措施来保护湿地，即如何保护湿地。故选D。 In 1849, when John Muir was 11 years old, he and his family moved from Scotland to the United States. They lived in Wisconsin, and right away John fell in love with the prairies, wetlands, oak forests, and lakes.

Maybe a huge sea of golden sand, where the wind blows and nothing grows. But guess what? Recently, something amazing has happened in the Taklimakan Desert. It has a new colour—pink—100,000 rose plants are blooming (开花) there, turning the “golden giant” into a beautiful painting. Last November, in Yutian County, Xinjiang, desert workers finished a big job. They planted 100,000 roses along the desert’s edge. These roses are like green scarves around the desert. It’s a new wonder of China’s sand control work. Planting roses shows how much the workers care about the desert. “People usually think of roses as flowers in vases, but our roses are protectors of the sand hills!” said Maitusun Yibulayimu, a villager from Yutian County. He’s right—these roses are beautiful, and their strong roots also hold the sand in place, stopping it from blowing away. For over ten years, people in Qiemo County, another place in Xinjiang that sits along the desert’s edge, have also been working hard. They have built 93,700 mu (about 8,700 football fields) of grassgrids (草方格) in the desert. Planting roses along the desert’s edge is not the end. The real goal is to stop the sand from spreading (蔓延) forever. Once it was “sand coming, people leaving. Now it’s green coming, sand leaving” —and soon, people and sand will live together happily. Each generation works to build a “Green Great Wall”. These blooming roses show that with hard work, even the desert can become a place of life. 1．How many roses did workers plant in the Taklimakan Desert? 2．What do the roses look like around the desert? 3．Do the roses only make the desert beautiful? 4．How did people in Qiemo County work to stop the desert from spreading? 5．What do you think will happen to the desert in the future? 【答案】1．They planted 100,000 roses. 2．They are like green scarves around the desert. 3．No, they don’t. They are beautiful and their strong roots also hold the sand in place, stopping it from blowing away. 4．They have built 93,700 mu of grassgrids in the desert. 5．People and sand will live together happily. (答案不唯一，合理即可) 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，新疆于田县和且末县的人们通过种植10万株玫瑰、建造草方格等治沙行动，让塔克拉玛干沙漠焕发绿意，助力实现人与沙漠和谐共处的目标。   1．根据“They planted 100,000 roses along the desert’s edge.”可知，工作人员在塔克拉玛干沙漠种植了10万株玫瑰。故填They planted 100,000 roses. 2．根据“These roses are like green scarves around the desert.”可知，沙漠周围的玫瑰像绿色的围巾。故填They are like green scarves around the desert. 3．根据“He’s right—these roses are beautiful, and their strong roots also hold the sand in place, stopping it from blowing away.”可知，玫瑰不仅让沙漠变美，还能固沙防沙。故填No, they don’t. They are beautiful and their strong roots also hold the sand in place, stopping it from blowing away. 4．根据“They have built 93,700 mu (about 8,700 football fields) of grassgrids (草方格) in the desert.”可知，且末县的人们在沙漠中建造了93700亩草方格。故填They have built 93,700 mu of grassgrids in the desert. 5．根据“Now it’s green coming, sand leaving” —and soon, people and sand will live together happily.”可知，未来沙漠会绿意盎然，人类和沙漠将和谐共处。开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为People and sand will live together happily. Have you ever visited Hukou Waterfall? Hukou Waterfall is always compared to a shining pearl (明珠) in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. When the Yellow River runs through mountains to Hukou, the river narrows (变窄) from 300 meters to just over 50 meters. The water suddenly falls into a deep pool. As a result, a wonderful waterfall appears. It seems that the water pours into a big pot, which is how it got the name “Hukou”. The power of the waterfall is tremendous (巨大的) when it falls, so it is hard for you to get close to the main waterfall. Looking from far away, you can enjoy the amazing fog-covered water. The beauty cannot be described in words. You cannot know unless you visit it in person. There are four wonders of Hukou, “smoking in water”, “colourful bridge to the sky”, “dragons playing with waves” and “thunder generated from valley stream”. The waterfall flies straight down with water splashing (溅), clouds and mist rising. Under the sunlight, you will see a rainbow hanging over the waterfall. The poem “Chant to Hukou” written by Zhang Yingchun in the Ming Dynasty describes the beauty of “colourful bridge to the sky”. The view of Hukou Waterfall changes according to the seasons. So you can enjoy its special beauty from spring to winter. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．How does the writer start the text? 2．Why is this waterfall called Hukou Waterfall? 3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? 4．Which of the four wonders of Hukou Waterfall was written in the poem? 5．If you have a holiday, where will you go?

Because it is a city full of history and culture. /I will go to Yunnan. Because the food there is delicious and the landscape there is beautiful. /… 【导语】本文介绍了黄河中游的明珠——壶口瀑布，包括其名称由来、景观特点、四大奇观及季节变化之美。 1．根据“Have you ever visited Hukou Waterfall? Hukou Waterfall is always compared to a shining pearl (明珠) in the middle reaches of the Yellow River.”可知，作者以一个问题开篇，然后将壶口瀑布比作黄河中游的一颗明珠。故填By asking a question. 2．根据“When the Yellow River runs through…how it got the name ‘Hukou’.”可知，黄河在壶口处骤然变窄，水猛地跌入深潭，看起来像注入一个大壶，因此得名“壶口”。故填Because the water falls into a deep pool and it seems that the water pours into a big pot. 3．根据“Looking from far away, you can enjoy the amazing fog-covered water. The beauty cannot be described in words. You cannot know unless you visit it in person.”可知，“it”指代壶口瀑布。故填Hukou Waterfall. 4．根据“The poem ‘Chant to Hukou’ written by Zhang Yingchun in the Ming Dynasty describes the beauty of ‘colourful bridge to the sky’.”可知，古诗中描写的是“七彩天桥”这一奇观。故填“Colourful bridge to the sky”. 5．开放性题目，答案不唯一，合理即可。故填I will go to Xi’an.

The natural world belongs to all of us. I think everybody should take on the responsibility of environmental protection. There are many environmental problems nowadays. For example, people cut down trees for production. Rubbish is often thrown into rivers and lakes, and many of them are polluted. Luckily, there are many things we can do to protect the natural world. We should sort the rubbish into different groups so that it can be reused and recycled better. Besides, we should learn to save energy, such as not leaving taps running all the time.

This is a common question we get from people visiting the rainforest for the 1 (one) time. The answer is any time. There is a wet season and a dry season in the rainforest. There is no time that is 2 (good) than the other. Both offer beautiful sights and amazing chances (机会) to see plant and animal life, hot weather and some 3 (rain) days. The wet season is from November 4 April. During the time, the rainforest gets 60% of the total rainfall, so it is cool and wet. Also, because of the rain, the water in the river 5 (rise) and there is a flood in the forest. That means you can take a boat and travel through the forest. Since you are closer to the top of the trees, you will see beautiful birds, 6 (monkey) and many other animals. The dry season is between May and October. This is the warm season, 7 a temperature of about 36°C． However, it still gets some heavy rains. A key difference is that the land comes out, so people can go to the forest 8 foot. During these months, it is much easier to find snakes and 9 (fish) is much easier too. You may not be able 10 (see) the birds in the trees, but you will see them flying in the sky.

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 .” 根据首字母提示完成短文。 Have you ever been to Dongting Lake? It’s famous as “800-li Dongting Lake”.

Every year thousands of t 3 from all over the world come to Yueyang in order to enjoy the beautiful scenery (景色) around Dongting Lake.

Let’s learn more about wetlands. Some areas on Earth’s land are 1 by water or have water just below the soil. This may be all year round or for just part of the year. These 2 are called wetlands. Wetlands come in many forms. These 3 rivers, lakes, swamps (沼泽) and so on. Most large wetland areas have more than one of these forms. Wetlands are 4 to lots of different animals, such as frogs and snakes. Flying birds, like 5 geese and ducks, rest in wetlands during their long trips. And two-thirds of all the fish we eat 6 at least part of their lives in wetlands. Wetlands cover only 6 percent of the Earth’s surface, 7 they play a big role in nature. They can clean the 8 water from cities and farms. Wetlands can trap pollutants (截留污染物) in the water and keep them in the soil. During heavy rains, wetlands hold a lot of rainwater. What’s more, wetlands help slow climate change. They 9 plenty of CO2 and store it in the soil and plants. Wetlands 10 pull leaves, animal waste and other matter down from the surface of the water.

When I was 3 , I would pick up shells and rocks, and bring them back home. So I had tons of them in my room. 4 , as I visited the ocean more and more, I started picking up the 5 left by people instead of picking up ocean treasures. I made such a change after I 6 myself about my old habit. It helped me 7 that a stone you find in the ocean has a wonderful colour that makes you pick it up. But then, 8 it dries, you don't find it lovely anymore, so 9 pick it up in the first place? Anyway, I came to understand that natural things are 10 in their natural surroundings (环境) and that if everybody picked every shell from the ocean and 11 the litter out there, the beach would become something not so nice very shortly. So I made a 12 that day—I would just “borrow” things from the ocean and bring them back after a while, since the 13 of shells does so much good for me.

You may say that it is Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls is really very beautiful, but when we talk about the height, Angel Falls is the highest in the world. It is located deep in the jungle (丛林) of Venezuela (委内瑞拉). Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It’s very hard to get there. If you went by car, you would have to travel for weeks through the jungle. If you went by plane from Caracas, a city on the southern coast, it would take about four hours. One of the most interesting facts about Angel Falls is how it got its name. It was named after an American pilot. His name was Jimmy Angel. In 1937, his plane crashed near the waterfall. Though local people already knew about it, his story made it famous, and it was later named after him. Angel Falls drops nearly a kilometre from a table-top mountain. The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds. The height of the waterfall is so great that by the time the water reaches the ground, it has already turned into fog (雾). If you have a chance to visit it, you’ll never forget it! 1．Few people have ever seen Angel Falls because ________. A．it is not easy to get there B．the tickets are very expensive C．there is no hotel or restaurant D．visitors can only get there on foot 2．If you want to get to Angel Falls in a short time, you can choose to take ________ according to the text. A．the bus B．the car C．the plane D．the train 3．From the third paragraph, we know ________. A．local people never heard about the waterfall B．Jimmy Angel’s plane reached near the waterfall in 1937 C．a pilot from Caracas got to the waterfall D．Angel Falls was named after American pilot Jimmy Angel 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Where We Should Go B．Jimmy Angel C．Niagara Falls D．The World’s Highest Waterfall Mount Wuyi, or Wuyishan, in Fujian is one of the country’s first five national parks. There are quite a lot of trees and the forest there is home to many kinds of animals. The forest is so important that many forest rangers (护林员) work there to look after it. Hu Kehui is one of them. He takes some useful things and food and rides his motorcycle into the forest to start a day’s work. When he is working, Hu often reports what he sees by using a phone app called “Inspection Assistant”. If there are some problems with the trees or there might be a fire, Hu will take some photos and put them online through the app. And the other workers will come to work on the problems soon. Through the app, people can also see how many forest rangers are in the forest, and where they are. Before they started using the app, the forest rangers had to go back to ask for help. And that took much time. Hu and his teammates patrol the mountains at least 12 times a month, walking four to eight kilometers each time. It is said that the forest rangers at the Wuyishan National Park patrolled 12,100 times in 2022. They went 32,800 kilometers. They looked after the forest well. At the same time, the park also used drones (无人机) to help the workers patrol the mountains. Because of the use of the Internet and the hard work of the forest rangers, there are more and more animals and trees in the mountains. 1．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．Mount Wuyi is a national park. B．There are five national parks in Fujian. C．There are many special trees in Mount Wuyi. 2．What would forest rangers do when there might be a fire? A．Go back to ask for help. B．Call other workers and tell them where they are. C．Put some photos online through “Inspection Assistant”. 3．What does the underlined word “patrol” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese? A．参观 B．巡逻 C．经过 4．How does the writer show the forest rangers’ hard work in paragraph 4? A．By listing numbers. B．By asking a question. C．By making a conclusion. Tea Garden Draws TouristsThe mountain village of Wugongling, in China’s Anhui Province, has become a tourist attraction because of its stepped tea garden. Starting in the 1960s, the villagers spent 13 years building steps on the mountainside so they could grow tea plants there. The village was once poor but now interests lots of tourists. The garden has a viewing platform (观赏台), walkways and a visitor center. A Worker Wanted for Antarctic Post OfficeThe planet’s most faraway post office, Port Lockroy in Antarctica, need people to work there for five months. Tasks would include running the gift shop and counting penguins living there. There is no running water, and it is very cold all the time. The wind is often strong, and in winter, the sun doesn’t come out for many weeks. Though life there is not easy, Laurenm Elliot, who worked there in 2019, described it as “the most magical place in the world”. He said he was happy to work there. ________ A wildflower that was thought to be extinct (灭绝的) has been found, 40 years after it was last seen.

Wetlands are land areas covered by water most of the time. This can either be fresh water, salty water or mixed water. They form naturally or are made by humans when water collects and cannot run off. Wetlands are on almost every continent (洲). Wetlands are really important. More than 40% of the world’s plants and animals depend on wetlands to live. Wetlands also help fight climate change by taking in lots of carbon (碳) to reduce CO2 in the air. During heavy rain, they take in water to reduce flooding, and in dry seasons, they slowly let stored water go to help fight droughts (干旱). Over 1 billion people live on wetlands for jobs like fishing, rice farming, and tourism. The world’s diverse wetlands are vital sources of food for the global population. However, wetlands are disappearing fast. Since 1970, about 35% of wetlands have been lost. Wastes from people’s daily life and factory production harm these areas. Dams (水坝) stop rivers and this shrinks wetlands. Invasive species (入侵物种) also cause problems. Some plants grow quickly, pushing out local species and harming fish by reducing O2. Protecting wetlands requires global action. In 1971, 172 countries signed the Convention on Wetlands to protect these ecosystems. For example, in 2020, China’s wetland protection rate was 52.7%, with a planned increase of 2.4% every five years. And the UK plans to create and restore 100,000 hectares of wetlands by 2050. It isn’t just governments’ responsibility to protect wetlands. Everyone can help. Simple actions like planting native (本土的) trees near rivers, or joining clean-up activities make a difference. By valuing wetlands and working together, we can protect these important ecosystems for our planet’s future. 1．Wetlands ________. A．are only covered by fresh water B．aren’t created by humans C．can help fight climate change D．can’t be used to grow rice 2．What does the underlined word “shrinks” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Puts down. B．Cuts down. C．Cleans up. D．Builds up. 3．Which of the following can protect wetlands? A．Reducing polluted water. B．Building more dams. C．Growing foreign plants. D．Protecting all species. 4．Which picture correctly shows China’s planned wetland protection rate by 2025? A． B． C． D． 5．What does the writer want to tell us in the last two paragraphs? A．What and where are wetlands? B．What problems do wetlands face? C．Why are wetlands important? D．How can wetlands be protected? In 1849, when John Muir was 11 years old, he and his family moved from Scotland to the United States. They lived in Wisconsin, and right away John fell in love with the prairies, wetlands, oak forests, and lakes. He called it the “beautiful Wisconsin wilderness”. ①________ The hard work like ploughing fields and digging a well made him strong in both mind and body. In his free time, John caught turtles and frogs in the rivers and lakes. ②________ He enjoyed the lovely wildflowers that grew on the prairies.

But at age 29, he had a serious eye problem. He almost lost his vision.④________ He was afraid that he would never see again. So when his vision returned, John knew he needed to follow his dream of studying nature. A year later, when John saw the Sierra Nevada mountains in California for the first time, he began to understand that he found his calling in life. “I came to life in the cool winds and the clear waters of the mountains,” he wrote. John spent the rest of his life protecting the wild places he loved so much. He was a gifted writer and wrote about the beauty of the land. In 1892, John Muir started the Sierra Club.

Maybe a huge sea of golden sand, where the wind blows and nothing grows. But guess what? Recently, something amazing has happened in the Taklimakan Desert. It has a new colour—pink—100,000 rose plants are blooming (开花) there, turning the “golden giant” into a beautiful painting. Last November, in Yutian County, Xinjiang, desert workers finished a big job. They planted 100,000 roses along the desert’s edge. These roses are like green scarves around the desert. It’s a new wonder of China’s sand control work. Planting roses shows how much the workers care about the desert. “People usually think of roses as flowers in vases, but our roses are protectors of the sand hills!” said Maitusun Yibulayimu, a villager from Yutian County. He’s right—these roses are beautiful, and their strong roots also hold the sand in place, stopping it from blowing away. For over ten years, people in Qiemo County, another place in Xinjiang that sits along the desert’s edge, have also been working hard. They have built 93,700 mu (about 8,700 football fields) of grassgrids (草方格) in the desert. Planting roses along the desert’s edge is not the end. The real goal is to stop the sand from spreading (蔓延) forever. Once it was “sand coming, people leaving. Now it’s green coming, sand leaving” —and soon, people and sand will live together happily. Each generation works to build a “Green Great Wall”. These blooming roses show that with hard work, even the desert can become a place of life. 1．How many roses did workers plant in the Taklimakan Desert? 2．What do the roses look like around the desert? 3．Do the roses only make the desert beautiful? 4．How did people in Qiemo County work to stop the desert from spreading? 5．What do you think will happen to the desert in the future? Have you ever visited Hukou Waterfall? Hukou Waterfall is always compared to a shining pearl (明珠) in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. When the Yellow River runs through mountains to Hukou, the river narrows (变窄) from 300 meters to just over 50 meters. The water suddenly falls into a deep pool. As a result, a wonderful waterfall appears. It seems that the water pours into a big pot, which is how it got the name “Hukou”. The power of the waterfall is tremendous (巨大的) when it falls, so it is hard for you to get close to the main waterfall. Looking from far away, you can enjoy the amazing fog-covered water. The beauty cannot be described in words. You cannot know unless you visit it in person. There are four wonders of Hukou, “smoking in water”, “colourful bridge to the sky”, “dragons playing with waves” and “thunder generated from valley stream”. The waterfall flies straight down with water splashing (溅), clouds and mist rising. Under the sunlight, you will see a rainbow hanging over the waterfall. The poem “Chant to Hukou” written by Zhang Yingchun in the Ming Dynasty describes the beauty of “colourful bridge to the sky”. The view of Hukou Waterfall changes according to the seasons. So you can enjoy its special beauty from spring to winter. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．How does the writer start the text? 2．Why is this waterfall called Hukou Waterfall? 3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? 4．Which of the four wonders of Hukou Waterfall was written in the poem? 5．If you have a holiday, where will you go? Why? 五、选词填空 选用方框中所给的单词或短语并用其适当形式填空。 large   world   be home to   leave   free There are many wetlands in China and some of them have become the 1 important wetlands.
