It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. Buying a green product is a small step everyone can take. We need to consider the whole life cycle of the product even after it’s of no use. Here is what we may keep in mind. ②The materials of a product are usually our first focus. What is it made of? Are there any harmful chemicals in it? Green products are made of more natural materials which are free from harmful chemicals, so they can be good for our physical health. ③Packaging is important. How is a product packaged? Is it over packaged? We’d better choose glass, metal and paper packaging, as these can be reused or more easily recycled. We can also look for less packaging or even choose unbagged products whenever possible. ④Location matters. Where was a product produced? Where are we buying it? Think about how much energy was used to get it. When it comes to food, it is a good idea to order directly from local farmers, shop at markets and buy fruits in season. Buying from stores near our houses is also a good choice, because we can go there without driving a car. ⑤Look into what the company tells us about their product. Much of the information about a product should not be totally believed. After all, companies try to make us believe that their products are environmentally responsible. ⑥Actually, the greenest thing is certainly the one we don’t buy. Better than buying is choosing to leave an unnecessary product in the store. It sends a message to the producer, keeps money in our pockets, reduces waste and keeps the planet healthy. 24. What should we check first when choosing a green product? A. The name of the company. B. The colour of the packaging. C. The materials of the product. D. The price of the product. 25. Why is local food a good choice? A. Because it is always cheaper. B. Because it often tastes better. C. Because it uses less energy to transport. D. Because it has more beautiful packaging. 26. Which is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 27. What is the main idea of the passage? A. People should only buy food and clothes. B. Green is a beautiful color. C. All companies tell the truth about their products D. Buying green products helps the environment. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了绿色不仅是一种颜色，更代表着保护环境的特殊行动。文章详细阐述了在选择绿色产品时应考虑的几个方面，包括产品材料、包装、产地以及公司宣传等，旨在帮助读者了解如何通过购买绿色产品来为环境保护做出贡献。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The materials of a product are usually our first focus.”可知，在选择绿色产品时，我们首先应该关注的是产品的材料。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“When it comes to food, it is a good idea to order directly from local farmers, shop at markets and buy fruits in season. Buying from stores near our houses is also a good choice, because we can go there without driving a car.”可知，选择当地食物是一个好选择，因为它减少了运输过程中所需的能源。故选C。 【26题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第一段“Green is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. Buying a green product is a small step everyone can take. We need to consider the whole life cycle of the product even after it’s of no use. Here is what we may keep in mind.”为总述，提出绿色不仅是一种颜色，还意味着采取特殊措施保护环境，购买绿色产品是每个人都可以采取的一小步，并指出我们需要考虑产品的整个生命周期；第二段至第五段“The materials of a product are usually our first focus…Look into what the company tells us about their product.”为分述，分别从产品材料、包装、产地和公司宣传四个方面详细阐述了在选择绿色产品时应考虑的因素；第六段“Actually, the greenest thing is certainly the one we don’t buy.”为总结，指出实际上最环保的事情是我们不购买不必要的产品。因此，文章的结构为总-分-总，即①/②③④⑤/⑥。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Green is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. Buying a green product is a small step everyone can take.”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了购买绿色产品如何帮助保护环境，包括选择绿色产品时应考虑的因素以及不购买不必要产品的重要性。因此，文章的主旨大意是购买绿色产品有助于保护环境。故选D。 C Every winter, Siberian cranes (白鹤) migrate (迁徙) from northeast Siberia in Russia to Poyang Lake in Jiangxi province, China. About 95 percent of the birds spend the season there. However, climate change has endangered the birds’ habitats (栖息地). “In some years, the Poyang Lake experiences floods, while in others, it experiences droughts. Both of these create food shortages in the cranes’ habitat,” Qian Fawen, a researcher from the National Bird Banding Center of China, told China Daily. To help deal with the problem, the local government has built 70 hectares (公顷) of lotus roots (莲藕) in Nanchang to provide food during the winter for the cranes. The birds’ population has risen from about 3,000 to more than 5,000 over the past 20 years, according to Qian. Over the years, China has worked hard to protect migratory birds and wetlands. Known as the “Earth’ s kidneys(肾脏)”, wetlands play a key role in cleaning water, preventing floods, and helping with biodiversity (生物多样性). The Wetlands Protection Law was introduced on June 1,2022. It stops building work on important national wetlands and bans activities such as overgrazing (过度放牧) and giving out wastewater. In February, black-faced spoonbills (黑脸琵鹭), an endangered species, were seen wintering at Dongting Lake after disappearing for five years. Last December, Shanghai Chongming Dongtan-Bird National Nature Reserve recorded more than 2,900 tundra swans up from some 1,000 seen during the winter of 2021. Thanks to these efforts, China has reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands. 28. The bird population is rising in Nanchang because ________. A. the city becomes warmer and warmer B. the city offers more food for birds C. extreme weather hasn’t hit the city D. climate change doesn’t affect the place 29. What main role do wetlands play? A. Saving endangered animal species. B. Avoiding overgrazing and water pollution. C. Providing habitats for migratory birds. D. Looking after water and supporting biodiversity. 30. Paragraph 4 mainly shows us ________ . A. how China deals with water pollution and overgrazing B. when the Wetlands Protection Law was introduced C. why the bird population in Nanchang rises quickly D. what China has done to protect migratory birds and wetlands 31. What do the examples in Paragraph 5 show? A. China has completed its wetlands protection. B. New bird species come to China for winter. C. China’s environmental protection is successful. D. Migratory birds add biodiversity to China. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了由于气候变化，白鹤的栖息地受到威胁，南昌政府通过种植莲藕为白鹤提供食物，使得白鹤数量增加。同时，中国多年来一直致力于保护候鸟和湿地，出台了《湿地保护法》，并取得了显著成效，越来越多的鸟类选择在中国湿地越冬。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“To help deal with the problem, the local government has built 70 hectares (公顷) of lotus roots (莲藕) in Nanchang to provide food during the winter for the cranes. The birds’ population has risen from about 3,000 to more than 5,000 over the past 20 years, according to Qian.”可知，南昌的鸟类数量增加是因为这座城市为鸟类提供了更多的食物。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Known as the ‘Earth’s kidneys(肾脏)’, wetlands play a key role in cleaning water, preventing floods, and helping with biodiversity (生物多样性).”可知，湿地的主要作用是净化水、防止洪水和帮助生物多样性，即照顾水资源和支持生物多样性。故选D。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Over the years, China has worked hard to protect migratory birds and wetlands. …The Wetlands Protection Law was introduced on June 1,2022. It stops building work on important national wetlands and bans activities such as overgrazing (过度放牧) and giving out wastewater.”可知，本段主要介绍了中国为保护候鸟和湿地所做的努力，包括出台法律和禁止一些破坏湿地的行为。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“In February, black-faced spoonbills (黑脸琵鹭), an endangered species, were seen wintering at Dongting Lake after disappearing for five years. Last December, Shanghai Chongming Dongtan-Bird National Nature Reserve recorded more than 2,900 tundra swans up from some 1,000 seen during the winter of 2021. Thanks to these efforts, China has reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands.”可知，本段通过举例黑脸琵鹭和苔原天鹅的数量增加，说明中国的环境保护取得了成功。故选C。 D Look at the sky, and at best you might only see one star or two. That’s because light pollution is turning night into day in 80 percent of the world. It not only prevents us seeing the stars, but also has a terrible influence on animals. The day to night cycle is an important part of nature, telling animals when to come out to hunt, search food, migrate, and mate. But when we add artificial light, clearly that’s going to mess things up —wildlife from bugs to birds, and even plants, are badly influenced. Light pollution is getting . worse every year, but there are simple solutions to help wildlife and bring back our night sky view, experts say. “If you can turn off lights more often, it saves electricity and it’s kind of a win-win.” says Valentina Alaasam, a study author and biologist at the University of Nevada, Reno. “Also, the kind of light we use really matters,” says Alaasam, “For birds, if you use a warmer and yellower one, it will be less harmful.” Simply closing your curtains can also help prevent the light from shining into the environment. One study in Chicago found that if we make windows less bright by half, it could help cut down the number of birds hitting upon them by 60 percent. When a light is troubling you or you think it’s a problem, it’s worth trying. Often, there are very simple fixes that don’t cost very much money and can generally solve the problem. Start small! 32. How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By asking a question. C. By using a saying. D. By describing a fact. 33. What does the underlined word “artificial” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Man-made. B. Natural. C. Bright. D. Valuable. 34. According to Alaasam, which of the following is helpful to help wildlife? A. Use brighter and bluer lights. B. Don’t always turn on lights. C. Make windows much brighter. D. Keep curtains open at night. 35. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. To express the strong love for wildlife. B. To show the situation of present wildlife. C. To call on us to prevent light pollution. D. To explain us the causes of light pollution. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了光污染的现状及其对自然生态的负面影响，并通过专家建议提出具体解决方案。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Look at the sky, and at best you might only see one star or two. That’s because light pollution is turning night into day in 80 percent of the world.”可知，作者通过描述只能看到一两颗星星这样一个事实来引入文章主题。故选D。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“The day to night cycle is an important part of nature...But when we add artificial light, clearly that’s going to mess things up”可知，此处是人造光与自然的日夜循环相对比，所以“artificial”意思是“人造的”，与“Man - made”意思相近。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“‘If you can turn off lights more often, it saves electricity and it’s kind of a win-win.’ says Valentina Alaasam”可知，Alaasam认为不总是开着灯对野生动物有帮助。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章先介绍了光污染的现状及其对动物的危害，接着提出了一些解决光污染问题的简单方法，所以文章的主要目的是号召我们防止光污染。故选C。 五、词汇运用 (共10 小题；每小题1 分，满分10 分) 根据括号中所给的汉语、音标或英文释义写出单词，使语篇意思完整正确。 A coral reef is a busy underwater world. Tiny coral animals work together to ___36___ (创造) huge, rocky structures. You can find these beautiful places in warm seas ___37___ (几乎) all around the world.

This animal is the fennec fox. Fennec foxes have ears that are 5 to 6 inches long. That’s big for an animal that weighs less than four pounds. Their ears help get rid of body heat. And, as you may have guessed, they also provide great hearing. It’s also interesting to think about the hair of fennec foxes. Why would a fox that lives in the desert need a thick, fur coat? Actually, the desert isn’t always warm. During the nighttime, a desert can be terribly cold! A fennec fox’s fur keeps them warm during those desert nights. They also have long bushy tails that they use as a blanket. And the hair on their feet protects them from the hot sand in the daytime. Fennec foxes live in small communities of dens (兽穴). They spend most of the day sleeping in their dens, out of the hot sun. Then, when night comes, they come out in search of food. In addition to (除……之外) their great hearing, fennecs also use their great sense of smell and big eyes to track down dinner. Fennecs eat both meat and plants. They like eating birds, eggs, insects, snails, fruit and leaves best. Fennec fox mothers have one to five babies at a time. Sometimes they are in danger. They have to be careful with predators (捕食性动物), such as caracals (a type of wild cat), jackals, eagle owls, hyenas and humans. Humans catch them for their fur and to sell as pets.

Most dragonflies live for only a few months as adults, so we move around searching for food and a mate (配偶). The largest dragonflies can fly 40-60 kilometres per hour, making us the fastest flying insects. B Special eyes We have the biggest eyes of any insect. They take up most of our heads and enable us to see ahead, below and behind, all at the same time. Each compound eye has up to 5,000 tiny eyes. C Important facts 1. There are more than 5,000 different types of dragonflies. 2. We are found everywhere except Antarctica (南极洲). 3. We eat other insects, such as spiders, midges and mosquitoes, which we catch as we fly. 4. We have been around for 300 million years. 5. We do not harm people. Our wings are very strong. Each wing can move on its own or together as a pair. Like helicopters (直升机), we can hover (盘旋). To do so, we put our wings downwards to create a whirlwind that goes across our wings. We can hover in the air for up to one minute in the same place. 21. In which part can you know about dragonflies’ meals? A. Part A. B. Part B. C. Part C. D. Part D. 22. What’s the use of the arrows (箭头) in Part A? A. To show the size of the dragonfly. B. To show different types of the wings. C To show the number of the eyes. D. To show body parts of the dragonfly. 23. What makes dragonflies excellent fliers? A. They have strong wings to work alone or in pairs. B. They have about 5,000 compound eyes. C. They live nearly all over the world. D. They move fast for food or mate. B ①Green is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. Buying a green product is a small step everyone can take. We need to consider the whole life cycle of the product even after it’s of no use. Here is what we may keep in mind. ②The materials of a product are usually our first focus. What is it made of? Are there any harmful chemicals in it? Green products are made of more natural materials which are free from harmful chemicals, so they can be good for our physical health. ③Packaging is important. How is a product packaged? Is it over packaged? We’d better choose glass, metal and paper packaging, as these can be reused or more easily recycled. We can also look for less packaging or even choose unbagged products whenever possible. ④Location matters. Where was a product produced? Where are we buying it? Think about how much energy was used to get it. When it comes to food, it is a good idea to order directly from local farmers, shop at markets and buy fruits in season. Buying from stores near our houses is also a good choice, because we can go there without driving a car. ⑤Look into what the company tells us about their product. Much of the information about a product should not be totally believed. After all, companies try to make us believe that their products are environmentally responsible. ⑥Actually, the greenest thing is certainly the one we don’t buy. Better than buying is choosing to leave an unnecessary product in the store. It sends a message to the producer, keeps money in our pockets, reduces waste and keeps the planet healthy. 24. What should we check first when choosing a green product? A. The name of the company. B. The colour of the packaging. C. The materials of the product. D. The price of the product. 25. Why is local food a good choice? A. Because it is always cheaper. B. Because it often tastes better. C. Because it uses less energy to transport. D. Because it has more beautiful packaging. 26. Which is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 27. What is the main idea of the passage? A. People should only buy food and clothes. B Green is a beautiful color. C. All companies tell the truth about their products D. Buying green products helps the environment. C Every winter, Siberian cranes (白鹤) migrate (迁徙) from northeast Siberia in Russia to Poyang Lake in Jiangxi province, China. About 95 percent of the birds spend the season there. However, climate change has endangered the birds’ habitats (栖息地). “In some years, the Poyang Lake experiences floods, while in others, it experiences droughts. Both of these create food shortages in the cranes’ habitat,” Qian Fawen, a researcher from the National Bird Banding Center of China, told China Daily. To help deal with the problem, the local government has built 70 hectares (公顷) of lotus roots (莲藕) in Nanchang to provide food during the winter for the cranes. The birds’ population has risen from about 3,000 to more than 5,000 over the past 20 years, according to Qian. Over the years, China has worked hard to protect migratory birds and wetlands. Known as the “Earth’ s kidneys(肾脏)”, wetlands play a key role in cleaning water, preventing floods, and helping with biodiversity (生物多样性). The Wetlands Protection Law was introduced on June 1,2022. It stops building work on important national wetlands and bans activities such as overgrazing (过度放牧) and giving out wastewater. In February, black-faced spoonbills (黑脸琵鹭), an endangered species, were seen wintering at Dongting Lake after disappearing for five years. Last December, Shanghai Chongming Dongtan-Bird National Nature Reserve recorded more than 2,900 tundra swans up from some 1,000 seen during the winter of 2021. Thanks to these efforts, China has reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands. 28. The bird population is rising in Nanchang because ________. A the city becomes warmer and warmer B. the city offers more food for birds C. extreme weather hasn’t hit the city D. climate change doesn’t affect the place 29. What main role do wetlands play? A. Saving endangered animal species. B. Avoiding overgrazing and water pollution. C. Providing habitats for migratory birds. D. Looking after water and supporting biodiversity. 30.

Migratory birds add biodiversity to China. D Look at the sky, and at best you might only see one star or two. That’s because light pollution is turning night into day in 80 percent of the world. It not only prevents us seeing the stars, but also has a terrible influence on animals. The day to night cycle is an important part of nature, telling animals when to come out to hunt, search food, migrate, and mate. But when we add artificial light, clearly that’s going to mess things up —wildlife from bugs to birds, and even plants, are badly influenced. Light pollution is getting . worse every year, but there are simple solutions to help wildlife and bring back our night sky view, experts say. “If you can turn off lights more often, it saves electricity and it’s kind of a win-win.” says Valentina Alaasam, a study author and biologist at the University of Nevada, Reno. “Also, the kind of light we use really matters,” says Alaasam, “For birds, if you use a warmer and yellower one, it will be less harmful.” Simply closing your curtains can also help prevent the light from shining into the environment. One study in Chicago found that if we make windows less bright by half, it could help cut down the number of birds hitting upon them by 60 percent. When a light is troubling you or you think it’s a problem, it’s worth trying. Often, there are very simple fixes that don’t cost very much money and can generally solve the problem. Start small! 32.

According to Alaasam, which of the following is helpful to help wildlife? A. Use brighter and bluer lights. B. Don’t always turn on lights. C. Make windows much brighter. D. Keep curtains open at night. 35. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. To express the strong love for wildlife. B. To show the situation of present wildlife. C. To call on us to prevent light pollution. D. To explain us the causes of light pollution. 五、词汇运用 (共10 小题；每小题1 分，满分10 分) 根据括号中所给的汉语、音标或英文释义写出单词，使语篇意思完整正确。 A coral reef is a busy underwater world.

This animal is the fennec fox. Fennec foxes have ears that are 5 to 6 inches long. That’s big for an animal that weighs less than four pounds. Their ears help get rid of body heat. And, as you may have guessed, they also provide great hearing. It’s also interesting to think about the hair of fennec foxes. Why would a fox that lives in the desert need a thick, fur coat? Actually, the desert isn’t always warm. During the nighttime, a desert can be terribly cold! A fennec fox’s fur keeps them warm during those desert nights. They also have long bushy tails that they use as a blanket. And the hair on their feet protects them from the hot sand in the daytime. Fennec foxes live in small communities of dens (兽穴). They spend most of the day sleeping in their dens, out of the hot sun. Then, when night comes, they come out in search of food. In addition to (除……之外) their great hearing, fennecs also use their great sense of smell and big eyes to track down dinner. Fennecs eat both meat and plants. They like eating birds, eggs, insects, snails, fruit and leaves best. Fennec fox mothers have one to five babies at a time. Sometimes they are in danger. They have to be careful with predators (捕食性动物), such as caracals (a type of wild cat), jackals, eagle owls, hyenas and humans. Humans catch them for their fur and to sell as pets.
