April Peebler is the leader of a California-based group called Heirs to our Oceans.It tries to help 12-to-17-year-olds from around the world to learn about and fight for environmental protection.Peebler believed that young people are usually more active in environmental protection than adults. Perhaps the most famous teenage environmental protector is 16-year-old Greta Thunberg from Sweden，the leader of Green Angel.She inspired others to start climate-change campaigns around the world last year.At a recent meeting in Davos，Thunberg said，“I don't want you to be hopeful.I want you to feel the fear I feel every day.And then I want you to act.” Thunberg plans to speak at the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York City Inter this month.She will join world leaders who are expected to discuss plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放)，which are the main reason for global warming. Joelle Alley is head of Earth Team，a California-based group.It offers programs for children interested in environmental protection and pays those who finally sign up.Alley says Earth Team organizes teams of 14 students from each high school in the Richmond，California.Then they work with adults to find environmental problems around them and then come up with measures to help solve the problems. The Food Recovery Network is one of the largest student-led movements fighting food waste and hunger.Students at U．S.colleges connect college dining halls，local shelters and food bank to make sure leftover food is given to those in need.Regina Anderson，the group's director，says students have recovered 3.9 million pounds of food so far this year. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四个不同类型的环境保护组织以及它们的具体工作内容。 21．How many organizations are mentioned in the passage?

In a city where green spaces are not enough, and city wildlife is often pushed to the edges, Lattouf's love for hummingbirds began in 2011, just a year after recovering from a deadly illness, when she began caring for a hummingbird that had an eye injured by another bird.She named the bird Gucci after the brand (品牌) of the eyeglasses case where she kept it and soon they became the best of friends.The tiny hummingbird rested on Lattouf's computer screen while she worked. “It was a good medicine for my spirit，” Lattouf said of Gucci, adding, “It gave me a new life.” Gucci was the first, but many hummingbirds came to be cared for by Lattouf. For years Lattouf's home had been a bird shelter, but she was concerned about whether she would be able to meet the requirements of hummingbirds.However, since then, Lattouf has worked to make the public realize the importance of hummingbirds and has saved and freed hundreds of them. Hummingbirds are an important part of the American food web.They help control the population of insects.Although they're small in size, their diet includes the mosquitoes, spiders and fruit flies.Hummingbirds also pollinate (授粉) a wide variety of flowering plants from Alaska to the southernmost point of South America, which is especially important for native plant species.In fact, some plants depend almost completely on hummingbirds for pollination. Through her effort, Lattouf has shown that even in the heart of a big city, it is possible to coexist (共存) with and protect the natural world.In a city that can sometimes feel disconnected from nature, Lattouf's apartment is a wonder that can be found when we make space for the wild in our everyday lives. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了73岁的Catia Lattouf是一位热心的鸟类爱好者，她把自己的公寓变成了蜂鸟的家，以及她这么做的起因以及她致力于保护蜂鸟。 24．Where did the bird's name come from? A．The shape of the eyeglasses case. B．The place where Lattouf put it. C．The park where Lattouf found it. D．The picture on Lattouf's computer screen. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“She named the bird...the best of friends.”可知，这只鸟的名字来自于Lattouf放它的地方。故选B项。 25．What can we learn about Gucci? A．It was hard to care for. B．It nearly died of its serious injury. C．It brought some trouble to the author's work. D．It benefited Lattouf's health greatly. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“‘It was a good medicine for my spirit，’ Lattouf said of Gucci, adding, ‘It gave me a new life.’”可知，Gucci对Lattouf的健康大有好处。故选D项。 26．What does Lattouf keep doing? A．Making good use of hummingbirds. B．Protecting hummingbirds from injury. C．Calling on people to protect hummingbirds. D．Improving the living environment of hummingbirds. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“However, since then...freed hundreds of them.”可知，Lattouf一直在呼吁人们保护蜂鸟。故选C项。 27．What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5? A．The value of hummingbirds to humans. B．The possibility of man living with nature. C．The growing conditions of flowering plants. D．The plants that are pollinated by hummingbirds. 答案：A 解析：段落大意题。根据第五段“Hummingbirds are an important...on hummingbirds for pollination.”可知，作者想在第五段告诉我们蜂鸟对人类的价值。故选A项。 C (2024·安徽宣城期末) Monkfish are low in calories and they are easy to cook.They can be cut into pieces, mixed with egg whites, cornflour and salt, and then put into boiling water for a few minutes.There is only one problem with monkfish：they are ugly.With their eyes sticking out and wide mouths full of sharp teeth, they are frightening. In the Netherlands, fishermen who caught them used to throw them back.They are still usually sold without their heads, but the days of throwing them away are long gone.Japanese diners love the fatty liver；while Italians may still call them toad tails, that doesn't stop them from eating the fish.People have been encouraged to eat more monkfish, as well as other unattractive creatures — in order to ensure the biodiversity of the ocean environment. There are more examples for sea animals going from “purposely avoided” to “willingly consumed”．In America, lobsters used to be fed to prisoners — a result of their abundance but also, no doubt, because they are difficult to eat and look frightening.Not until the late 19th century did they become fantastic dish.Today they are so desirable that Maine, where most American lobsters are caught, has the images of these creatures printed on many of its vehicles. Sometimes fashion goes the other way.Turtles were plentiful in early America, but in the 19th century they became fashionable：few foods were more recommended than turtle soup.Americans ate some species of turtle nearly to extinction.Yet today turtle-eating is more closely associated with remote and uncultured areas. Among cooking choices, people prefer the rare and the beautiful one than the unattractive one.But such narrow-minded food choices can have bad results：some species may not survive human preference for them.Better to stare into monkfish's eyes than to contribute to the permanent loss of a species. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章以安康鱼为例，说明海洋动物从“故意避免”变成“自愿食用”，这一做法是为了保护生物多样性。 28．How were monkfish treated in the Netherlands? A．They were abandoned by local fishermen. B．They were popular due to their fatty livers. C．They were called toad tails from time to time. D．They were considered a danger to the ecosystem. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“In the Netherlands, fishermen who caught them used to throw them back.”可知，在荷兰，安康鱼被当地渔民遗弃。故选A项。 29．Why are lobsters mentioned in Paragraph 3? A．To stress its abundance in America. B．To make a comparison with monkfish. C．To prove prisoners used to be fed on seafood. D．To show people's food habits keep changing. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“There are more examples...many of its vehicles.”可推知，第三段提到龙虾是为了显示人们的饮食习惯在不断变化。故选D项。 30．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．Turtle-eating has been out of date now. B．Turtles have completely disappeared in America. C．Turtles were purposely avoided among food choices. D．Turtle-eating was against fashion in the 19th century. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“Yet today turtle-eating is more closely associated with remote and uncultured areas.”可知，吃乌龟现在已经过时了。故选A项。 31．What is the main purpose of this text? A．To introduce rare undersea wildlife. B．To encourage people to eat seafood. C．To explain why people dislike monkfish. D．To call for the protection of biodiversity. 答案：D 解析：写作目的题。根据第二段“People have been encouraged...of the ocean environment.”并结合文章以安康鱼为例，说明海洋动物从“故意避免”变成“自愿食用”，这一做法是为了保护生物多样性可推知，这篇文章的主要目的是呼吁保护生物多样性。故选D项。 D (2025·黑龙江期末) Plastic-Eating Worms Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year.Almost half of that ends up in landfills(垃圾填埋场)，and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans.So far there is no effective way to get rid of it，but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms(幼虫). Researchers in Spain and England found that the worms of the greater wax moth(大蜡螟) can break down polyethylene(聚乙烯)，which accounts for 40% of plastics. That is to say，part of plastics can be consumed by this kind of worms.The team left 100 wax worms on a plastic shopping bag for 12 hours，and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams，or almost 3% of it.To confirm that the worms' chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown，the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物)and applied it to plastic films.14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass—apparently broken down by enzymes(酶)from the worms' stomachs.Their findings were published in Current Biology. Federica Bertocchini，co-author of the study，says the worms' ability to break down their everyday food—beeswax—also allows them to break down plastic.“Wax is a complex mixture，but the basic bond in polyethylene，the carbon-carbon bond，is there as well，”she explains.“The wax worm developed a method or system to break this bond.” Jennifer Debruyn，a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee，who was not involved in the study，says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene.But compared with previous studies，she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting.The next step，DeBruyn says，will be to identify where the enzyme comes from.Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)? Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team's findings might one day help make use of the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills.But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process—not simply “millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.” 语篇解读　本文是说明文，作者介绍了一项科学发现：一种吃塑料的虫子—大蜡螟，它胃中的酶能够降解塑料，从而为人们解决塑料污染问题提供新的途径。 32．What can we learn about the worms in the study? A．They take plastics as their everyday food. B．They can consume plastics. C．They end up in landfills. D．They are new creatures. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers in Spain and England found that the worms of the greater wax moth(大蜡螟) can break down polyethylene(聚乙烯)，which accounts for 40% of plastics.”(西班牙和英国的研究人员发现，大蜡蛾的蠕虫可以分解占塑料40%的聚乙烯。)可知研究人员发现大蜡螟蠕虫能够分解塑料，显然也可以分解垃圾中的塑料，与B项的 “消耗塑料”吻合，故选B项。 33．According to Jennifer DeBruyn，the next step of the study is to ． A．prove the research findings B．discover other kinds of worms C．increase the breakdown speed D．find out the source of the enzyme 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段“The next step，DeBruyn says，will be to identify where the enzyme comes from.Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)？” (DeBruyn说，下一步将是确定酶的来源。它是蠕虫本身产生的酶还是它的肠道微生物产生的酶？ )可知，接下来人们需要证实的是酶是从哪里产生的，D项“查明酶的来源”与此吻合。故选D项。 34．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might ． A．help to raise worms B．help make plastic bags C．be used to clean the oceans D．be produced in factories in future 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process—not simply “millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.” (但她希望在某种工业过程中使用这种化学物质，而不是简单地“把数百万只虫子扔在塑料上”)可推知，研究人员期望在某种工业流程中使用这种化学制品，而不仅仅是把数百万的虫子扔到塑料上。这与选项D中提到的 “今后工厂可能生产这种化学制品”吻合，故选D项。 35．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To propose new means to keep eco-balance. B．To present a way to break down plastics. C．To introduce the diet of a special worm. D．To explain a study method on worms. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，结合第二段“Researchers in Spain and England found that the worms of the greater wax moth(大蜡螟) can break down polyethylene(聚乙烯)，which accounts for 40% of plastics.”(西班牙和英国的研究人员发现，大蜡蛾的蠕虫可以分解占塑料40%的聚乙烯)可知，作者通过本文介绍了一项消除塑料垃圾的研究，显然是为了人们提供了一条清除塑料垃圾的新途径。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (2024·湖南期末) Up to 40% of the food produced never makes it to our mouths.Food waste is a huge problem. 36 Here are ways to reduce food waste. · 37 Many of us blindly throw things that look novel into the shopping baskets and then let them sit in the fridge until they go bad.So before shopping，think about exactly what you need for the week，make a detailed shopping list to prevent overbuying and stick to it. ·Get creative with repurposing food.Before walking straight to the bin with your old carrots，ask yourself: Can I make this into something new？ 38 You needn't follow any complicated recipes to turn older produce into a fresh new dish.Just use your head to make the best of it.For example，roast the carrots as a side dish or cut them for a salad. ·Your freezer is your friend.If you're unable to use food before it's too late，turn to the trusty freezer.Freezing food helps lock in its flavor and nutrients.So next time you find perfect strawberries for your summer picnic，don’t throw the leftovers. 39 ·Don't be fooled by that “sell-by” date.Typically，these labels are a best guess by businesses as to when their products will be finest.They're not hard-and-fast rules about when that cheese has to go straight to the bin.They care about quality，not about food safety.Next time you do a sweep of your storeroom，remember that. 40 If it doesn't pass，turn to the bin.

Hearing his name called by the headmaster, Freddie nervously made his way to the platform. 参考范文： Over the next few weeks, the other boys dropped out of the project. But Freddie kept on.Some of his friends laughed at him, thinking it was a waste of time.Nevertheless, Freddie decided to stick it out.The first day of the new school year soon arrived and once again the school hall was packed with pupils.When the headmaster appeared, he was carrying a certificate which bore the logo of the local council.“Welcome back，” he said, “The council has presented this certificate to the school in recognition of the work by one of our pupils.Freddie Forbes, please come to the platform.” Hearing his name called by the headmaster, Freddie nervously made his way to the platform. The headmaster smiled at Freddie.“This certificate you have worked so hard to achieve will hang in the school office, but you will get a personal award too.” A teacher came onto the stage, bringing one of the honors jackets that Freddie had admired so much.The headmaster asked Freddie to remove his own jacket and helped him into the blazer that he thought he would never wear.As the pupils who had dropped out looked on enviously, Freddie knew that collecting waste was certainly not a waste of time. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
