Altogether, egypt covers an area of three hundred eighty six thousand six hundred sixty two square miles. Its capital is caro. The major river in the country is the nile river. Without the nile river, all of egypt would be desert. Only about an inch of rain falls throughout egypt each year, but each summer the river rises. Because of the rains, egypt is often divided into two parts, super egypt in the south and lower egypt in the north. The parts are named this way because the nile flows from south to north. The river ends in the medicine and see the population of the country is about ninety two million. The population is growing fast. Now egyptians, home to many different kinds of animals and plants, the best places to see egypt's wildlife are in its more than twenty protected areas. That's all about my country today.

Thank you for listening. 第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Great white sharks! Just hearing that name makes many people’s hair stand on end. In reality，these big fish have more to fear from us than we do from them. For many years，people have killed countless great white sharks in the waters around the United States. But thanks to conservation (保护) efforts，great whites are making a comeback in the U．S.Two recent studies show that the population of these sharks is rising along the east and west coast. “When you fish for too many of them，you start to lose balance in the environment，”says shark researcher Tobey Curtis. As the biggest killer，sharks help keep the populations of fish，seals，and other creatures they eat from growing too large. In spite of their importance，great white sharks had long been hunted for their meat and their fins (鳍).Then，in 1997，the U．S.government passed a law that didn’t allow the hunting of great whites. Afterwards，the number of these sharks in the U．S.waters started to increase. The law isn’t the only thing that has helped great whites. Conservationists have also played a part in the sharks’ comeback. The research group OCEARCH is using a method called tagging (给……加上标签) sharks to help change people’s attitudes to great whites. They let the public follow each shark as it travels in the oceans. OCEARCH also gives each tagged shark a name to help people form a closer connection with the big fish. The group’s most well­known shark is named Katharine. She was tagged near Cape Cod，Massachusetts. Since then，thousands of people have tracked Katharine’s movements on social media and the OCEARCH website. This helps people see sharks in a new way. Chris Fischer，the founder of OCEARCH，believes learning to appreciate great whites will encourage people to do more to protect them. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大白鲨在过去数量急剧减少，但在法律制度保护下数量开始增多，人们对大白鲨的了解也开始改变。 21．The underlined part “makes many people’s hair stand on end” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “________”． A．worries many people B．bores many people C．frightens many people D．attracts many people C　[句意猜测题。根据下文中的“In reality，these big fish have more to fear from us than we do from them.”可知，事实上，比起我们对它们的害怕，这些大白鲨更怕我们，故选C。] 22．What does Katharine’s example show？ A．Great whites are in fact lovely animals. B．The OCEARCH website has a lot of visitors. C．The number of great whites is growing quickly. D．OCEARCH helps people get closer to great whites. D　[细节理解题。根据最后两段中的“Since then，thousands of people have tracked Katharine’s movements on social media and the OCEARCH website.”和“This helps people see sharks in a new way.”可知，从那以后，许多人在社交媒体和 OCEARCH的网站上追踪 Katharine的活动，而这帮助人们以一种新的方式看待鲨鱼，由此可知，OCEARCH帮助人们更加接近鲨鱼，从而去了解它们，故选D。] 23．What’s the main purpose of the passage？ A．To introduce an experimental result. B．To make an advertisement for OCEARCH. C．To remind us that great whites are dying out. D．To inform us that great whites are making a comeback. D　[写作意图题。本文主要讲了在法律和研究团队的帮助下，大白鲨的数量逐渐增多，故选D。] B They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon：on foot，on mules (骡子)or by air. We chose the first. Up early，my husband and I and our three children couldn’t wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail. As we set out，I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn’t help noticing that the other tourists weren’t like us. They had heavy backpacks，water bottles，and hats. But as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher，Arizona’s famous heat seemed to roast us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back，with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back，our legs were like jelly． The next day，after we’d had a long rest and a good breakfast，we were ready for another view of the Canyon—by air. After our last walk，this would be the easiest thing in the world. We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed (翻转)the plane around，pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted，“STOP，TAKE US BACK！” When we finally arrived back on land，once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back. As I said，there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules，but personally I’d suggest a fourth：buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way，you can see the Canyon，without fear or tiredness. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是作者一家游大峡谷的故事。 24．What can we learn from the second paragraph？ A．They made a careful preparation before the trip. B．The children were more joyful than their parents. C．Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected. D．The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view. C　[ 细节理解题。 结合第一段提到“We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.” 再根据第二段 “shocked at how narrow the path was”可知，Bright Angel Trail不像他们所预料的那样可爱，它非常狭窄。故选C。] 25．What does the underlined expression “our legs were like jelly” probably mean？ A．We were weak. B．We were unhappy. C．We were dissatisfied. D．We were disappointed. A　[ 句意猜测题。根据第二段第一句话提到：当我们出发时，我对这条如此狭窄的道路感到非常吃惊；以及第五句话提到：太阳火辣，没有遮凉的地方。故可知回来时必然软弱无力。] 26．Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air？ A．It proved to be frightening. B．It was more comfortable. C．It turned out to be exciting. D．It made each of them tired. A　[ 推理判断题。根据第四段第二、三句话可看出他们胆战心惊。] 27．What is the author’s purpose by saying：buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic？ A．Experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best way. B．One needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon. C．The writer was not serious when she made the suggestion. D．The whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident. C　[ 推理判断题。作者显然是在开玩笑的提出了第四种方式——买本杂志舒舒服服地看大峡谷，不用担惊受怕。] C In Colombia a group，named WebConserva，is carrying out a project in the San Lucas Mountains with the help of coffee growers. The San Lucas area is one of the most unexplored places in Colombia，which is home to many thousands of species of animals and plants. Yet gold mining and coca farming have dealt a blow to its ecosystem. To limit additional development in the San Lucas area，the group helps coffee growers by linking them with processors from around the country. Colombia has more different kinds of living things than any other country except neighboring Brazil. In 2016，the Colombian government signed a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia ending years of civil war. As a result，more land became accessible for use，with deforestation (毁林) coming along. Government information shows that in 2017，almost 220，000 hectares of forest were destroyed compared to around 124，000 hectares in 2015. To date，the project includes 10 families who farm 400 hectares of coffee plants，which costs about $77，000 a year. WebConserva hopes that，in time，200 families will be included. At that level，20，000 hectares of untouched forest could be protected. In San Lucas，the families promise not to cut down trees to expand their crops or to hunt wild animals from the forests. In return，they receive $250 to $300 per 125 kilograms of coffee，an enviable amount there. Arcadio Barajas is among those taking part. His new coffee plantation (种植园) makes a barrier between cattle farms and forests where wild animals like the jaguar live and hunt. In this way，he doesn’t have to kill wild animals to protect his cattle. Barajas said that pulling down the forest to plant coca and killing wildlife were against his will. Now he feels that growing coffee lets him be a steward of the land. “I’m taking care of the environment，the forest and the animals，”he said. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍WebConserva在哥伦比亚的San Lucas发起了保护当地生态环境的项目并取得了一定的成效。 28．Why does WebConserva set up the project？ A．To help local farmers make money. B．To expand areas of coffee growing. C．To link processors with coffee growers. D．To conserve biodiversity in the Mountains. D　[推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，San Lucas是哥伦比亚最原始的地方之一，有数千种动植物，但是金矿开采和古柯种植对它的生态系统造成了严重的破坏。为了限制该地区被过度开发，WebConserva发起了这一项目。由此可推知，该项目的目的是保护该地区的生物多样性。故选D。] 29．What happened after Colombia’s civil war was over？ A．Colombia helped many needy families. B．Colombia lost lots of areas of forests. C．Colombia started to save damaged forests. D．Colombia became more peaceful than Brazil. B　[细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In 2016，the Colombian government signed... As a result，more land became accessible for use... almost 220，000 hectares of forest were destroyed... in 2015.”可知，2016年，哥伦比亚结束多年内战，这使得更多土地可以被开采使用，毁林现象出现，森林面积大幅度减少。故选B。] 30．Which is probably a function of Barajas’s coffee plantation？ A．A method of protecting cattle and wildlife. B．A substitute for hunting of wild animals. C．A barrier between man and wild animals. D．A shelter for cattle against human hunters. A　[推理判断题。根据第四段中的“His new coffee plantation... protect his cattle.”可知，Barajas的咖啡种植园充当了一道把养牛场和野生动物隔开的屏障，如此一来，他就不用为了保护牛而杀死野生动物了。由此可推知，他的种植园既保护了牛，又保护了野生动物。故选A。] 31．What does the underlined word “steward” mean in the last paragraph？ A．Farmer. B．Master. C．Guardian. D．Explorer. C　[词义猜测题。根据第四段的“Arcadio Barajas is among those taking part.”可知，Barajas是参与这个项目的成员之一，现在他不再砍伐森林和捕杀野生动物，再结合最后一段中的“I’m taking care of the environment，the forest and the animals”可知，他现在已经把自己看成这片土地的守护者。由此推知，画线词意为“守护者”。故选C。] D A severe drought (干旱) has caused water levels in Southeast Asia’s Mekong River to drop to their lowest in more than 100 years. It may have harmful effects on fish，as well as the tens of millions of people living and working along the river，experts warn. This year，the dry conditions in the Mekong region happened due to warm Pacific Ocean currents (洋流) known as the El Nino. But climate change is also a driving factor，experts say，causing the monsoon (季风) season to shorten sharply. The situation was made worse by water dam operators upstream，with holding water for their own purposes. Many rice farmers in the area have been unable to plant their main crop，raising fears of a heavily decreased harvest this fall. Less water flow could also have a bad influence on fish reproduction in the Mekong River basin. This is normally the time when fish use rising water levels to reproduce their young，but there is little sign of this happening so far this year. Perhaps even more alarming，experts expect that droughts and damage to the water flow of the Mekong River will become more common，and they warn that it could eventually destroy the entire ecosystem. Starting from the Tibetan highlands，the Mekong River flows through six Asian countries，including China，Myanmar，Thailand，Laos，Cambodia and Vietnam，before emptying into the South China Sea. The river basin is home to the largest inland fishery in the world and more than 60 million people depend on it to make a living. Few rivers in the world rise and fall with the seasons as much as the Mekong River，which can drop up to 40 feet in some places at the end of the dry season. When the monsoon rains arrive，they normally produce a flood that brings with its sediment (沉积物) to agriculture as well as enormous amounts of larvae (幼虫) and tiny fish，including many endangered species，such as the Mekong giant catfish，that are swept into the Tonle Sap where they can grow. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了湄公河水位下降的原因及其可能引起的问题和危害。 32．How many reasons are there for the drought of the Mekong River this year？ A．One.

Now I am writing to appeal for your cooperation in conservation of creatures in the world. As we know from this year’s International Day for Biological Diversity，there are ten rare plants appearing endangered altogether. The key reason for the extinction is that we human beings are always polluting too much and over destroying forests for fuel. To save the world’s creatures，we should do our bit to advertise low­carbon life and try to avoid giving out gas and littering around. Here，we sincerely advocate that we go to school on foot or by bike as much as possible every day. Furthermore，we had better make sure those who are ignorant of International Day for Biological Diversity are informed of the danger of creatures’ extinction. The School English Club 第二节(满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 It was summer，and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West. We took a plane to Albuquerque，a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul，my dad’s friend，picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos. His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guest room of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning，Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast.“The day starts at dawn on my farm，”he said. After breakfast，I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens，while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草).I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool. In the afternoon，I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride，and he said yes，as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So，my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats，got on our horses，and headed slowly towards the mountains.“Don’t be late for supper，”Uncle Paul cried，“and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost！” “OK！”my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks，the deep green pine trees，and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的)blanket spread out upon the ground just for us. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1： Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. ________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： We had no idea where we were and it got dark. ______________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ [参考范文] Paragraph 1： Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. Its unexpected appearance frightened my horse，which made it run wildly. I tried my best to control it，but in vain. Frightened as I was，I tried to keep my balance to prevent myself from falling off. Fortunately，minutes later，the horse stopped before a river，out of breath，and so did I．At that moment，my dad also came up. Seeing I was OK，he was quite relieved. But it was clear that we got lost. Paragraph 2： We had no idea where we were and it got dark. We didn’t know where the farm house was. What we could do was to go back along the previous tracks slowly. But it was really difficult for us in such a dark situation. Just as we were at the point of desperation，we heard a faint voice from the distance.“It must be Uncle Paul，” I said. So we cried back with excitement. Finally，Uncle Paul safely brought us back home. What an amazing ride! 学生用书第32页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
