二、阅读理解。(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)
A
Have you ever heard of the term “biodiversity(生物多样性)”? It may sound like a difficult scientific term, but it’s actually an important idea of environmental protection that we should all know well. Let’s find out why biodiversity is so important.
Biodiversity helps the balance of the ecosystem(生态系统).
Each species(物种) plays an important role in the ecosystem, and the loss of even one species can have a great effect on the whole ecosystem. For example, if a certain kind of insect was to disappear, the plants depending on that insect would also be in danger. Then the plants will in turn influence the animals who depend on those plants for food.
Biodiversity is important for human health
Many modern medicines come from plants and animals. For example, Taxol, a medicine used to treat cancer, was first extracted(提取) from the yew(紫杉) trees. If these species were to disappear, we would lose the chance to discover new medicines.
Biodiversity is important for cultural reasons.
Many cultures around the world have traditions and beliefs that are tied to the natural world. For example, the Maasai people of Kenya and Tanzania have a deep respect for the wildlife, and their culture is closely connected with the natural world.
So, what can we do to protect biodiversity? One important step is to reduce our effect on the environment. This can include things like reducing our use of single-use plastics, saving water and reducing the emission(排放) of CO. By doing these, we can help protect biodiversity and our planet for the future.
16. How many advantages(优点) of biodiversity are mentioned in the passage?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
17. How does the writer mainly develop his or her opinions?
A. By comparing differences. B. By asking questions.
C. By listing numbers. D. By giving examples.
18. What’s the structure of this passage?(①=Paragraph l, ②=Paragraph 2. . . )
A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①②/③④/⑤ C. ①/②/③④⑤ D. ①/②③/④⑤
【答案】16. B 17. D 18. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了生物多样性重要性的原因以及怎么去保护生物多样性。

【18题详解】
篇章结构题。第一段引出话题“Let’s find out why biodiversity is so important.”(让我们去发现为什么生物多样性如此重要?);中间三段分别介绍了生物多样性的三个优点;最后一段讲述了怎么去保护生物多样性。故结构为总分总结构。故选A。
B
When we think of communication, we usually think not of touch but of speech. This is because language itself happens primarily over the auditory (听力的,听觉的) channel. Since sound travels more than four times faster in water (1,480 meters per second) than in air (343 meters per second), it’s no surprise that a huge number of animals in the ocean also use sound as an efficient means of communication. The low-frequency sounds produced by larger whales can travel tens of thousands of miles underwater. Many species (物种) of fish use sound for communication.
The ocean is full of animals using the auditory channel for communication, but this may be changing. Because of human-made noise, the ocean sounds very different than it did millions of years ago. In our searching for both understanding and having communication with ocean species, we have become our own worst enemy. Ship noise and wind farms, all these activities are creating the loud and unpleasant sound in the ocean. Too much noise makes it difficult for fish to avoid enemies or for whales to hear those low-frequency calls as they now must compete with the noise of shipping traffic.
Jason Bruck and other researchers have focused their attention on the dolphins communication and the problem of ocean noise. They are looking at how even seemingly minimal (极小的) amounts of background noise might make it difficult not only for dolphins to communicate with each other but also to pay long enough attention to learning new skills.
Paige Stevens is studying the ways in which noise affects dolphins to learn living abilities. Just as we see in humans, background noise may make it difficult for dolphins to focus on the task at hand. Stevens’ research could show that it’s getting so loud in the ocean that dolphins might be losing their abilities to think clearly enough to live a normal life.
Humans feel a strong pull to communicate with ocean animals. And we have enough in common with most species in terms of (就……而言) shared communication channels to make this possible, even if it’s just a soft touch. It’s good to want to have communication with our favorite ocean species, but unless we find a way to turn down the volume, we won’t ever hear what they might want to tell us.
19. What do you know about the sound?
A. Sound travels faster in air than in water.
B. There is little loud sound in the deep ocean.
C. Some ocean animals use sound to communicate.
D. Human-made noise is good for some of the ocean animals.
20 Paige Stevens probably agrees that __________.
A. animals like using language to communicate
B. people make some ocean noise to study the animals
C. people should stop communicating with ocean species
D. the background noise can keep dolphins from living normally
21. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Living in the Ocean B. From the Ocean to the Land
C. Animal Communication D. Communication in the Deep
22. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage?
A. To tell us some ways to talk to animals.
B. To call on people to reduce noise in the ocean.
C. To introduce the communication way between human and ocean species.
D. To encourage people to do more researches on communication in the ocean.
【答案】19. C 20. D 21. D 22. B

Some people think creativity is making something completely new, so they do not think of themselves as creative ones. However, some other people think creativity can just be expressing themselves through everyday acts and they are born creative because it is not an all-or-nothing quality or skill.
Whether or not we realize it, we all have the ability to express creativity. Sometimes the path to creative productivity is being willing to do something different.
Are you someone who loves to read comics? Perhaps it is time you create one of your own. Don’t worry if you cannot draw very well or feel that you cannot write humorous reports for characters. Nobody says this is an exam! You only have to please yourself, to gain the satisfaction that you try something new, all on your own. If you feel easy, you can of course share it with our loved ones, or post it on social media,
Are you someone who likes to express yourself in writing? Try writing a blog. This is like the new version of a diary. In your blog, you can write about your thoughts, opinions and experiences. You can also write stories or plays, if you feel up to it! The blog provides you with a platform to create something new every day, in written forms.
Are you someone who likes to be alone? Now, think about the things that make you happy. Find a small place in your room, or any place in your home, where you can spend time with yourself. It can be a small corner next to your bed or a wall. It can be a poster of your favourite rock star or photos of your friends. You can also pick a guitar if you like to play instruments, or a few storybooks if you love reading. Some of you may like flowers, candles or pretty things. Decorate your area with your favourite things in any way you like. That is creativity! And if you do feel bored with this, you can change, add or remove something.
By realizing the chances in our daily lives to inspire our creativity, no matter how small, we may become more comfortable with taking bigger creative leaps in other aspects of our lives.

Linda is looking through the website http://www.keepingfit.com. Here is what she reads.
Researchers have found the health benefits of dancing for people in poor health condition, from improving brain health to creating community.
Becky is teaching a group of 80 adults some dancing skills. Many of her students are seated in the dancing room because they have difficulty in moving. When they are following Becky’s pretty movements, a sense of peace comes over them.
Dance as a medicine
Helen, a researcher, says that dance requires different parts of the brain to work at the same time, that is to say, dance requires more “brain power” than simpler repetitive (重复的) exercises.
She invited two groups of adults to take part in programmes for over six months. One group practised dancing and the other did a traditional exercise like cycling. Both groups improved their level of physical fitness, but the group of dancers improved more cognitive abilities, such as memory, attention and high-level thinking.
Dance described by Helen as “pleasure double-play” can lift the mood and reduce stress.
Dance as body acceptance
Besides the physical and mental benefits, dance can also help people with diseases accept what their bodies can and can’t do.
Jenny is Becky’s student. Her body went numb when she was in her mid-twenties. She had no feelings from the knees down. She suffered from serious muscle tightness and balance problems, making standing and walking difficult for her.
Jenny recently joined an online dance programme. Not only has it improved her coordination (协调性). but it has enabled her to overcome her fear of being judged (评价) for how she moves, both in the dance class and out in the world.
“I see so many people moving like me,” she says “I don’t have to be perfect in my dancing or make sure my leg lifts this way—it makes me comfortable with where I am right now.”
Dance as community
Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of dance is the sense of community it creates. Dancing with others not only makes people feel less different in their moving abilities, but also helps to fight against loneliness and problems in getting along with others.
Becky started teaching more than 22 years ago, and she has helped 300 communities in 28 countries around the world. In some countries, such as India and South Kores, people have put their own cultural dance styles into their classes.
Becky wants to create a sense of family and community for this group of people. Whenever and wherever she teaches, she hopes to make them feel joyful, get much closer to the community, and explore the limitless possibilities for the rest of their lives.
27. In which part of the website may you find this passage?
A. Culture. B. Fashion. C. Health. D. Literature,
28. From “Dance as a medicine” part, we can learn that ________.
A. the act of dancing helps to improve “brain power”
B. the act of traditional exercise requires more attention
C. dance needs more high-level thinking to lift the mood
D. dance needs more repetitive exercises than “brain power”
29. How do you understand the underlined part of this passage?
A. Jenny feels sad because she is weak in dancing.
B. Jenny wants to be perfect after practising dancing.
C. Jenny accepts the disabilities of her body after dancing.
D. Jenny thinks she should treat her leg for better dancing.
30. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Dancing helps to cure illness B. Dancing helps to better yourself
C. Dancing helps to change moods D. Dancing helps to reduce loneliness
【答案】27. C 28. A 29. C 30. B

【27题详解】
推理判断题。本文主要介绍了跳舞对健康状况不佳的人有益,故文章可能出现在网站的“健康”部分。故选C。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据“dance requires more ‘brain power’ than simpler repetitive (重复的) exercises.”以及“but the group of dancers improved more cognitive abilities”可知舞蹈比简单的重复性运动需要更多的“脑力”,舞者组提高了更多的认知能力,所以跳舞有助于提高“脑力”。故选A。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“but it has enabled her to overcome her fear of being judged (评价) for how she moves, both in the dance class and out in the world.”以及“I don’t have to be perfect in my dancing or make sure my leg lifts this way—it makes me comfortable with where I am right now.”可知她克服了在舞蹈课上和世界上因她的动作而受到评判的恐惧,所以她不必完美地跳舞,也不必确保她的腿以这种方式抬起——这让她对现在的状态感到舒适,所以珍妮接受了跳舞后身体的残疾。故选C。
【30题详解】
最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了跳舞对健康状况不佳的人有益,以选项B“跳舞有助于提升自己”为标题最合适。故选B。

Jenny Tough is a runner, cyclist, and adventurer. She has spent much of her life climbing mountains in the world’s most remote places, often completely alone. In her recent book, she tells about her expeditions and the lessons she’s learned along the way.
“I see adventure as a creative pursuit (追求), one where I’m inventing challenges (挑战) for myself. They don’t need to make sense to anyone else. In this case, I started with a goal to run across Kyrgyzstan. No one had ever done it before, and everyone told me it couldn’t be done. But I went, and I did it. And on that trip, I became the best version of myself, but finishing a big project like that left a hole, and I felt pretty depressed (沮丧的) afterward. So I decided to just keep going.” She said.
She also said that during the journey, so many things happened—some were scary, some were beautiful. We always have to set a record or we’ve always got to be the best. A thousand people could run across these mountains and come back with a thousand different stories.
“So many of us grow up in environments where we’re always looked after. Each solo (单独的) trip I took was a revelation (启示) of my abilities. I’ve gotten myself into some bad situations and I’ve had to think creatively to get myself out. If I had never put myself through that, I might never have become a true one who really backs herself when things get bad.” She also said.

Have you ever heard of the term “biodiversity(生物多样性)”? It may sound like a difficult scientific term, but it’s actually an important idea of environmental protection that we should all know well. Let’s find out why biodiversity is so important.
Biodiversity helps the balance of the ecosystem(生态系统).
Each species(物种) plays an important role in the ecosystem, and the loss of even one species can have a great effect on the whole ecosystem. For example, if a certain kind of insect was to disappear, the plants depending on that insect would also be in danger. Then the plants will in turn influence the animals who depend on those plants for food.
Biodiversity is important for human health
Many modern medicines come from plants and animals. For example, Taxol, a medicine used to treat cancer, was first extracted(提取) from the yew(紫杉) trees. If these species were to disappear, we would lose the chance to discover new medicines.
Biodiversity is important for cultural reasons.
Many cultures around the world have traditions and beliefs that are tied to the natural world. For example, the Maasai people of Kenya and Tanzania have a deep respect for the wildlife, and their culture is closely connected with the natural world.
So, what can we do to protect biodiversity? One important step is to reduce our effect on the environment. This can include things like reducing our use of single-use plastics, saving water and reducing the emission(排放) of CO. By doing these, we can help protect biodiversity and our planet for the future.
16. How many advantages(优点) of biodiversity are mentioned in the passage?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
17. How does the writer mainly develop his or her opinions?
A. By comparing differences. B. By asking questions.
C. By listing numbers. D. By giving examples.
18. What’s the structure of this passage?(①=Paragraph l, ②=Paragraph 2. . . )
A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①②/③④/⑤ C. ①/②/③④⑤ D. ①/②③/④⑤
B
When we think of communication, we usually think not of touch but of speech. This is because language itself happens primarily over the auditory (听力的,听觉的) channel. Since sound travels more than four times faster in water (1,480 meters per second) than in air (343 meters per second), it’s no surprise that a huge number of animals in the ocean also use sound as an efficient means of communication. The low-frequency sounds produced by larger whales can travel tens of thousands of miles underwater. Many species (物种) of fish use sound for communication.
The ocean is full of animals using the auditory channel for communication, but this may be changing. Because of human-made noise, the ocean sounds very different than it did millions of years ago. In our searching for both understanding and having communication with ocean species, we have become our own worst enemy. Ship noise and wind farms, all these activities are creating the loud and unpleasant sound in the ocean. Too much noise makes it difficult for fish to avoid enemies or for whales to hear those low-frequency calls as they now must compete with the noise of shipping traffic.
Jason Bruck and other researchers have focused their attention on the dolphins communication and the problem of ocean noise. They are looking at how even seemingly minimal (极小的) amounts of background noise might make it difficult not only for dolphins to communicate with each other but also to pay long enough attention to learning new skills.
Paige Stevens is studying the ways in which noise affects dolphins to learn living abilities. Just as we see in humans background noise may make it difficult for dolphins to focus on the task at hand. Stevens’ research could show that it’s getting so loud in the ocean that dolphins might be losing their abilities to think clearly enough to live a normal life.
Humans feel a strong pull to communicate with ocean animals. And we have enough in common with most species in terms of (就……而言) shared communication channels to make this possible, even if it’s just a soft touch. It’s good to want to have communication with our favorite ocean species, but unless we find a way to turn down the volume, we won’t ever hear what they might want to tell us.
19. What do you know about the sound?
A. Sound travels faster in air than in water.
B. There is little loud sound in the deep ocean.
C. Some ocean animals use sound to communicate.
D. Human-made noise is good for some of the ocean animals.
20. Paige Stevens probably agrees that __________.
A. animals like using language to communicate
B. people make some ocean noise to study the animals
C. people should stop communicating with ocean species
D. the background noise can keep dolphins from living normally
21. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Living in the Ocean B. From the Ocean to the Land
C. Animal Communication D. Communication in the Deep
22. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage?
A. To tell us some ways to talk to animals.
B. To call on people to reduce noise in the ocean.
C. To introduce the communication way between human and ocean species.
D. To encourage people to do more researches on communication in the ocean.
C
Some people think creativity is making something completely new, so they do not think of themselves as creative ones. However, some other people think creativity can just be expressing themselves through everyday acts and they are born creative because it is not an all-or-nothing quality or skill.
Whether or not we realize it, we all have the ability to express creativity. Sometimes the path to creative productivity is being willing to do something different.
Are you someone who loves to read comics? Perhaps it is time you create one of your own. Don’t worry if you cannot draw very well or feel that you cannot write humorous reports for characters. Nobody says this is an exam! You only have to please yourself, to gain the satisfaction that you try something new, all on your own. If you feel easy, you can of course share it with our loved ones, or post it on social media,
Are you someone who likes to express yourself in writing? Try writing a blog. This is like the new version of a diary. In your blog, you can write about your thoughts, opinions and experiences. You can also write stories or plays, if you feel up to it! The blog provides you with a platform to create something new every day, in written forms.
Are you someone who likes to be alone? Now, think about the things that make you happy. Find a small place in your room, or any place in your home, where you can spend time with yourself. It can be a small corner next to your bed or a wall. It can be a poster of your favourite rock star or photos of your friends. You can also pick a guitar if you like to play instruments, or a few storybooks if you love reading. Some of you may like flowers, candles or pretty things. Decorate your area with your favourite things in any way you like. That is creativity! And if you do feel bored with this, you can change, add or remove something.
By realizing the chances in our daily lives to inspire our creativity no matter how small, we may become more comfortable with taking bigger creative leaps in other aspects of our lives.
23. How does the writer begin the article?
A. By asking questions. B. By giving examples.
C. By comparing opinions. D. By explaining reasons.
24. From Paragraph 3 to Paragraph 5, what does the writer suggest?
A. Trying something new. B. Avoiding something dangerous
C. Trying something difficult. D. Avoiding something expensive.
25. In what ways can we show our creativity according to the article?
① playing the piano ② receiving flowers ③ keeping calm
④ writing blogs ⑤ watching plays ⑥ decorating rooms
A. ②③⑥ B. ①③⑤ C. ①④⑥ D. ②④⑤
26. The purpose of the article is to________.
A. offer us all kinds of ideas and experiences
B. teach us knowledge of different life skills
C. encourage us to make something important
D. ask us to develop creativity through small acts

Linda is looking through the website http://www.keepingfit.com. Here is what she reads.
Researchers have found the health benefits of dancing for people in poor health condition, from improving brain health to creating community.
Becky is teaching a group of 80 adults some dancing skills. Many of her students are seated in the dancing room because they have difficulty in moving. When they are following Becky’s pretty movements, a sense of peace comes over them.
Dance as a medicine
Helen, a researcher, says that dance requires different parts of the brain to work at the same time, that is to say, dance requires more “brain power” than simpler repetitive (重复的) exercises.
She invited two groups of adults to take part in programmes for over six months. One group practised dancing and the other did a traditional exercise like cycling. Both groups improved their level of physical fitness, but the group of dancers improved more cognitive abilities, such as memory, attention and high-level thinking.
Dance described by Helen as “pleasure double-play” can lift the mood and reduce stress.
Dance as body acceptance
Besides the physical and mental benefits, dance can also help people with diseases accept what their bodies can and can’t do.
Jenny is Becky’s student. Her body went numb when she was in her mid-twenties. She had no feelings from the knees down. She suffered from serious muscle tightness and balance problems, making standing and walking difficult for her.
Jenny recently joined an online dance programme. Not only has it improved her coordination (协调性). but it has enabled her to overcome her fear of being judged (评价) for how she moves, both in the dance class and out in the world.
“I see so many people moving like me,” she says “I don’t have to be perfect in my dancing or make sure my leg lifts this way—it makes me comfortable with where I am right now.”
Dance as community
Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of dance is the sense of community it creates. Dancing with others not only makes people feel less different in their moving abilities, but also helps to fight against loneliness and problems in getting along with others.
Becky started teaching more than 22 years ago, and she has helped 300 communities in 28 countries around the world. In some countries, such as India and South Kores, people have put their own cultural dance styles into their classes.
Becky wants to create a sense of family and community for this group of people. Whenever and wherever she teaches she hopes to make them feel joyful, get much closer to the community, and explore the limitless possibilities for the rest of their lives.
27. In which part of the website may you find this passage?
A. Culture. B. Fashion. C. Health. D. Literature,
28. From “Dance as a medicine” part, we can learn that ________.
A. the act of dancing helps to improve “brain power”
B. the act of traditional exercise requires more attention
C. dance needs more high-level thinking to lift the mood
D. dance needs more repetitive exercises than “brain power”
29. How do you understand the underlined part of this passage?
A. Jenny feels sad because she is weak in dancing.
B Jenny wants to be perfect after practising dancing.
C. Jenny accepts the disabilities of her body after dancing.
D. Jenny thinks she should treat her leg for better dancing.
