How did you adjust to (适应) life in a new place? Recently, scientists 21 some Burrowing Owls (穴栖猫头鹰) settle (安置) into their new homes. Burrowing Owls are small brown long-legged birds. They make homes in underground burrows (洞穴) and prefer to live in groups. In California, there is another kind of owls 22 the Western Burrowing Owl. In the past, these owls lived in the grasslands. Later, people began building cities on many of the grasslands. This drove the owls off their burrows. So some of these birds were unable to 23 new homes. As a result, the number of Western Burrowing Owls in California was 24 than that in 1965. 25 the number kept falling, they would be at risk of dying out. 26 , scientists found out the problem some years ago. They soon began trying to move these owls to some protected grasslands. In order to make the birds 27 more “at home”, scientists played the recording sound of owl calls 28 these areas. They also used white paint to make fake droppings (假粪便) of the owls. This made the birds 29 that other owls were living there. As a result, they 30 their new homes and stayed there. Scientists returned to check on the owls. Most of them seemed to like their new homes. Hope they can enjoy their new lives there! ( )21A. bought B. shared C. helped D. pressed ( )22.A. followed B. called C. arrived D. practiced ( )23.A. mark B. lead C. remember D. find ( )24.A. longer B. more C. smaller D. shorter ( )25.A.

Heavily ( )27.A. look B. feel C. sound D. taste ( )28.A. about B. without C. under D. in ( )29A. believe B. fill C. catch D. invite ( )30.A. printed B. accepted C. hit D. hurt 三 、阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分) A) 阅读下面三篇短文, 从短文后各题所给的A 、B 、C 、D 四个选项中, 选择最佳选项。 A If you want to watch and know something about birds, you can find a good place near the bird’s nest（巢） to watch. But remember to keep a safe distance and not to disturb (打扰) them. Birds are usually busy sitting on eggs and taking care of their babies from April to June. Baby birds are too young to leave the nest, so their parents often fly out to look for food and come back quickly. This is a great time to watch birds. When we watch birds, we’d better hide ourselves quietly. And it’s better to use binoculars(望远镜) to help. Sometimes, birds’ nests are broken for different reasons like natural disasters or the death of parent birds. Then people can help to make a bird’s nest. But how to do that? A good bird’s nest must be very strong, thick and comfortable. If you want to make one, please follow these tips: 1. Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a “door”. The “door” should be big enough so the birds can fly in or out easily. 2. Choose the materials（材料） carefully. Make sure the rainwater can’t go into the nest. 3. Don’t forget to colour the nest. Choose colours like green and brown to help it hide in the natural environment. ( ) 31. In order to watch birds well, we’d better ______. A. take good care of them　　　 B. take the binoculars C. bring some food to feed them　　　D. climb up the trees ( ) 32. What should we do if we want to make a bird’s nest? A. Make the “door” as big as possible. B. Use any materials we can find. C. Make sure the nest can keep out the rain. D. Paint the nest bright red to make it pretty. ( ) 33. What can we infer（推断） from the passage? A. People should always build birds’ nests for birds. B. Birds don’t need protection except from April to June. C. Birdwatching needs to respect（尊重） for birds’ living habits. D. Binoculars are necessary for every birdwatching activity. B Many schools hold sports games in autumn. It turns out that autumn might be the best season to work out! During this time, the weather is great. After a hot summer, the autumn air is cool and fresh, like a natural air conditioner (空调)! In such weather, you can run, hike, cycle or walk outside without sweating (出汗) much. No more worrying about colds—autumn makes outdoor exercise safer, even when playing for a long time. Cool autumn days and daily exercise can help you sleep better, keeping you healthy. Also, autumn is very pretty! Colorful leaves and nice views can make you happier. When you exercise in nature, fresh air and beautiful views clear your mind too. And don’t forget food! Autumn is harvest time—you can easily buy apples, pumpkins, sweet potatoes or pears. They’re full of vitamins（维生素）, delicious but not expensive. Eating these foods and working out is great! Autumn exercise can also get you ready for winter. It helps you have happy chemicals (化学物质) to fight sad feelings from short days. It also makes your body stronger, so you might not catch a cold in winter. ( )34.What does the underlined phrase “work out” mean in the first paragraph? A. study at school B. do exercise C. solve a problem D. go on a holiday ( )35.What can we know about autumn food from the text? A. It’s expensive but delicious. B. It’s only good for children. C. It helps people sleep better. D. It’s full of vitamins and cheap. ( )36.What does the word “It” refer to in the last paragraph? A. Good sleep. B. Your body. C. Autumn exercise. D. Cool autumn days. C The 24 Solar Terms The 24 Solar Terms is a traditional Chinese calendar system. It divides a year into 24 parts, based on the changes of nature, like temperature and plant growth. It has a history of over 2,000 years and was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2016. Each solar term has its own meaning and customs. For example, Lichun (Start of Spring) (around Feb 4) is the first term. People often stick "spring couplets" on doors and eat spring pancakes to welcome the new season. Xiazhi (Summer Solstice) (around Jun 21) is the longest day of the year. In southern China, people eat cold noodles on this day to stay cool. Qiufen (Autumn Equinox)(around Sep 23) means day and night are of equal length. Farmers are busy harvesting crops at this time. Dahan (Major Cold) (around Jan 20) is the last term. It’s the coldest time of the year, and people in northern China often make pickled vegetables to store food for winter. Today, the 24 Solar Terms are still useful. Many farmers use them to plan their farming work. They also help people understand the rhythm of nature and keep healthy—for example, eating more fruits in autumn (when it’s dry) to stay hydrated. （ ）37.What do people often do on Lichun (Start of Spring)?

Standing on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, it has to brave both the Arctic’s cold weather and wild animals like polar bears. Most of the area’s polar bears live a few miles away from Ryrkaypiy. Only a few bears come near to the village now and then. But last winter, over 50 polar bears went to Ryrkaypiy to search for food. The villagers were told to stay indoors to avoid danger. Now, polar bears come to the village more often and in larger numbers than ever. Although polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their life on the sea ice. The ice gives them a place where they can have a rest and catch fish. But as the temperature rises because of global warming, the bears have started to find their home disappearing. Polar bears usually go onto dry land in summer and return to the ice when the ocean freezes again in autumn. But over the past few years, the ocean has frozen later and later, and the ice area has become smaller and smaller. Unable to live on the ice, hungry polar bears have to look for food on land, including villages like Ryrkaypiy. In some countries, polar bears are considered as endangered animals. If the earth becomes so warm that there is no longer enough ice for the bears to live on, there will probably be no polar bears. Immediate action must be taken to help polar bears. 根据短文内容，回答问题。（每题答案不超过8个词） 66.Why did polar bears go to Ryrkaypiy last winter? ____________________________________________________________________ 67. What can polar bears do on the sea ice? ____________________________________________________________________ 68. When do polar bears usually go onto dry land? ____________________________________________________________________ 69. What will probably happen if there is not enough ice? ____________________________________________________________________ 70.What’s the purpose (目的) of the passage? ____________________________________________________________________ 七、书面表达（满分 20分）： 近来，世界各地自然灾害频发，引起了全球对地球保护的思考。以“The Earth Is Our Home”为题，写一篇英语短文，内容包括：地球目前的现状、造成这种现状的原因、我们应该采取的措施。 提示要点如下： 1.Cut down too many trees... 2.Hunt/kill wild animals... 3.More natural disasters... 4.Animals in danger...
