Unlike common seas that teem with fish and sea plants, it has almost no living things. This is why its name the “Dead Sea” comes from. Geographically, it is located between Jordan (约旦) and Israel (以色列), in the dry part of the Middle East. It’s surrounded by rocky hills. That adds to its unique landscape. Covering an area of about 605 square kilometers, the Dead Sea’s size isn’t always the same. It changes slightly each year. This is mainly because of changes in rainfall; less rain means less water flowing into the sea. And also because towns and farms near it need more and more water. It is about 1,000 feet (英尺) deep. The deepest part of the Dead Sea is about 1,300 feet, making it one of the deepest salty lakes in the world. The Dead Sea has a high salt level, about 8 times saltier than the ocean. This high salt content (高盐分含量) creates strong buoyancy (浮力), letting people float (漂浮) easily on its surface even if they can’t swim. For many years, this special character has attracted millions of visitors from all over the world. Some come to experience the fun of floating. Sadly, the Dead Sea is facing a big problem: It is becoming smaller and smaller. Every year, its surface level drops a little. Protecting this natural wonder has become more important than ever. 1. Where is the Dead Sea located? A．Between Jordan and Israel. B．Between China and Japan. C．Between Canada and the US. D．Between France and Germany. 2. What is the size of the Dead Sea covering? A．About 605 square kilometers. B．About 1,000 square kilometers. C．About 1,300 square kilometers. D．About 1,500 square kilometers. 3. Why can people float easily on the Dead Sea? A．Because it kills people. B．Because it holds dead people. C．Because it has many plants in the water. D．Because it has a surprisingly high salt level. 4. Why do many visitors come to the Dead Sea? A．To fish in its water. B．To grow plants. C．To float and relax. D．To protect the Dead Sea. 5. What is the best title for the passage? A．The location of the Dead Sea B．The reasons for people floating C．The ways to protect the Dead Sea D．Knowing about the Dead Sea Passage 4 There is a place named Shark Bay (鲨鱼湾) in the Western Australia. At least 28 kinds of sharks are swimming through the clear water there—the largest in the world. Especially tiger sharks are common visitors to Shark Bay. They move their 15-foot-long (about 4.5 meters) bodies through the seagrass, sometimes catching huge sea cows for a meal. Although tiger sharks are dangerous to them, they are important to the health of the ocean ecosystem. In fact, they can also be our powerful friends in stopping climate change. It all comes back to the seagrass that moves with the waves in Shark Bay. The seagrass is food for the sea cows. Each eats about 40 kilograms of seagrass a day. By controlling the sea cow populations, tiger sharks in Shark Bay help the seagrass beds grow. A good seagrass bed stores twice as much CO2 per square mile as forests do on land. But in the world, tiger shark populations are becoming smaller, including some populations in Australia. Off Australia’s northeast coast of Queensland, it is said that tiger sharks have fallen by at least 71%, largely because of overfishing and bycatch. A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass eaten and less carbon kept in the ocean. In Shark Bay, the tiger sharks are able to achieve the balance by keeping sea cow populations down, and not all the bay’s seagrass is lost. But here comes the question: What if sharks disappeared from the bay? The need to understand how they support their ecosystems becomes even more urgent. 1. Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 1? A．Tiger sharks eat sea cows. B．The tiger shark is the largest of its kind. C．A seagrass bed is about 4.5 meters long. D．Tiger sharks are harmful to the ocean ecosystem. 2. What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A．Visitors. B．Sea cows. C．Tiger sharks. D．Seagrass beds. 3. How much seagrass can two sea cows eat a day? A．About 20 kg. B．About 40 kg. C．About 60 kg. D．About 80 kg. 4. What’s the situation of tiger sharks? A．They are overfishing sea cows. B．They are moving out of Australia. C．Their populations are becoming smaller. D．They have disappeared. 5. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A．To give some information about seagrass. B．To give some information about Australia. C．To tell us there will be more sea cows in the future. D．To call on humans to take action to protect tiger sharks. Passage 5 Last weekend, I went camping after a long time of tiring work. The trip let me enjoy the clear lake and beautiful views in the forest. I felt the difference at once. I relaxed. I came home feeling rested. Going camping became a way to reduce the worry in my life. I not only got a nice weekend, but also experienced the benefits of nature, which was good for my mental health. Research has found that as few as five minutes in nature can be helpful for people to reduce worry and feel happier. This means that we can get relaxed and feel better from stepping outside right away. Even though sometimes we are unable to put our whole body and mind into nature, we can still find chances to relax in nature. We can take a five-minute break in a small park near our house or take a moment to sit under a big tree. We'll find them useful. Our better feelings in later life can demonstrate the active influence of nature. Besides simply spending more time outdoors, think about how we can enjoy nature even if we are too busy. Listen to recorded bird songs or rainstorms instead of music. Bring green plants or pictures of natural beauty into our home. Although bringing nature indoors is quite different from a real outdoor experience, we can still feel nature and experience better feelings. Being in nature doesn’t ask anything of us. Slow down, go outside, and notice what’s around us. Listen, touch and smell, and we will really notice the benefit in our emotions. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1. What did the writer do last weekend? A．The writer went camping. B．The writer went shopping. C．The writer went skating. D．The writer went boating. 2. Why does the writer mention the research in Paragraph 2? A．To introduce the trip at the weekend. B．To show the benefits of being outdoors. C．To give an example of the wonderful nature. D．To tell us to be relaxed. 3. What does the underlined word “demonstrate” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Improve. B．Give. C．Show. D．Decide. 4. What can help people feel better according to the writer? A．Putting plants at home. B．Listening to rock music. C．Taking pictures of houses. D．Sharing outdoor experiences. 5. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A．To describe personal worry about nature. B．To share a story about nature with us. C．To encourage us to get close to nature. D．To ask us to enjoy a slow and peaceful life. 三、任务型阅读 Passage 6 Jadav has planted trees for many years. Today, Jadav’s forest is larger than a nearby national park. Though he has had little education, he knows a lot about the environment. Back in 1979, Assam had the worst summer in many years. Floods washed many snakes and they died in the heat. Jadav was very sad. He went to the villagers for help. The elders said that growing trees might help. As a little boy, Jadav began planting seeds (种子) along the sandbar (沙堤). He spent his days on the plants. There was nobody helping him. No one was interested. It was not easy, but Jadav made it. He has grown a large forest: the Molai forest. He has created a forest alone for the wildlife in Assam, India. It’s home to thousands of trees and many rare (珍稀的) animals like deer and elephants. “Everything we do affects (影响) the environment. If we plant more trees, we will solve the problem of global warming.” said Jadav. Now he still lives in the forest and treats the trees and animals like his children. 1.

Mauricio Cantor from Oregon State University, USA, studied this partnership. As he told Science News Explores, they started to work together more than a century ago. “The dolphins are really good at finding fish in the water and driving them to the coast.” Cantor said. “The fishermen are really good at catching the fish with their nets (网).” Once the fish are caught in the nets, dolphins can move in and get some for themselves. Cantor’s study described how fishermen and dolphins give signals (信号) to each other during fishing. When dolphins find fish, they drive them to the coast. Then they arch (拱起) their backs in front of the fishermen to tell them to cast (撒) nets. Fishermen will then cast the nets right away, or they may lose the best chance. “Fishermen need to be well-trained to understand the signals from dolphins.” said Cantor. The study found that fishermen are 17 times more likely to catch fish by working with dolphins. At the same time, cooperative (合作的) dolphins have 13 percent higher survival rates (生存率) than other dolphins. Human-animal partnerships have been unusual. But they give us an idea of how we can get along well with nature. 根据短文内容，完成下列句子 (每空一词) 。 1. The passage mainly introduces a fishing team which is made up of human fishers and in Brazil. 2.

The local government wants all Jiangsu people to take an a 1 part in creating a greener and more beautiful hometown. Many people join in different environmental activities. Last weekend, our school had a meaningful clean-up event at Zhongshan Botanical Garden (中山植物园). To my great surprise, when we arrived at the park, the environment was much c 2 than we thought.

Passage 10 首字母填空。 Electric cars may seem to be a recent i 1 , but they have been around for years. In the early 1900s, there were more electric cars on the roads t 2 gasoline (汽油) cars. At that time, gasoline was expensive compared with other fuels (燃料) , so electric cars were w 3 used. When gasoline prices dropped and new technologies on gasoline cars were developed, electric cars were out of date. Gasoline cars became more popular. During the 20th century, gasoline cars got bigger, h 4 and faster. More and more people bought gasoline cars, so more fuels were needed. So this caused more air p 5 . When people began to realise that there was not e 6 oil on the earth, they required carmakers to produce more efficient (高效能的) cars. One method of solving the problem was a “hybrid” car, one that ran partly on gasoline and partly on e 7 . Hybrid cars became popular in the 2000s b 8 gasoline prices went up while prices of hybrid cars went down. An all-electric car uses no gasoline. However, the problem is that electric cars are c 9 not suitable for long journeys. Many people are not pleased with it. The government and the car factories are working together to start the e 10 . They develop safe, cheap and useful electric cars. When more and more people have these electric cars in the future, gasoline stations may disappear. 五、书面表达 Passage 11 黄河是中华民族的母亲河，保护黄河是事关中华民族伟大复兴的千秋大计。请你根据以下思维导图用英文介绍一下黄河并倡导大家共护母亲河。 要求：1. 须包含所给要点，可适当发挥； 2. 词数80-100。 Protect the Yellow River Facts mother river 5,464 kilometers the second longest Situations water and soil loss 水土流失 … Ways stop fishing make laws … Protect the Yellow River _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10 / 10乐思英语 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $单元话题精练 Unit 6 Living with nature（新教材外研版） （完形填空+阅读理解+阅读填空+首字母填空+书面表达） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 单元标题 主题 Unit 6 Living with nature 与自然共生 内容提要 精练-1 精练-2 精练-3 一、完形填空 Passage 1 There are many volunteers who try their best to protect the environment around us.

At least 28 kinds of sharks are swimming through the clear water there—the largest in the world. Especially tiger sharks are common visitors to Shark Bay. They move their 15-foot-long (about 4.5 meters) bodies through the seagrass, sometimes catching huge sea cows for a meal. Although tiger sharks are dangerous to them, they are important to the health of the ocean ecosystem. In fact, they can also be our powerful friends in stopping climate change. It all comes back to the seagrass that moves with the waves in Shark Bay. The seagrass is food for the sea cows. Each eats about 40 kilograms of seagrass a day. By controlling the sea cow populations, tiger sharks in Shark Bay help the seagrass beds grow. A good seagrass bed stores twice as much CO2 per square mile as forests do on land. But in the world, tiger shark populations are becoming smaller, including some populations in Australia. Off Australia’s northeast coast of Queensland, it is said that tiger sharks have fallen by at least 71%, largely because of overfishing and bycatch. A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass eaten and less carbon kept in the ocean. In Shark Bay, the tiger sharks are able to achieve the balance by keeping sea cow populations down, and not all the bay’s seagrass is lost. But here comes the question: What if sharks disappeared from the bay? The need to understand how they support their ecosystems becomes even more urgent. 1. Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 1? A．Tiger sharks eat sea cows. B．The tiger shark is the largest of its kind. C．A seagrass bed is about 4.5 meters long. D．Tiger sharks are harmful to the ocean ecosystem. 2. What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A．Visitors. B．Sea cows. C．Tiger sharks. D．Seagrass beds. 3. How much seagrass can two sea cows eat a day? A．About 20 kg. B．About 40 kg. C．About 60 kg. D．About 80 kg. 4. What’s the situation of tiger sharks? A．They are overfishing sea cows. B．They are moving out of Australia. C．Their populations are becoming smaller. D．They have disappeared. 5. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A．To give some information about seagrass. B．To give some information about Australia. C．To tell us there will be more sea cows in the future. D．To call on humans to take action to protect tiger sharks. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 4. C 5. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了澳大利亚鲨鱼湾的虎鲨在维持海洋生态系统平衡以及缓解气候变化方面的重要作用。 1. 细节理解题。根据“They move their 15-foot-long (about 4.5 meters) bodies through the seagrass, sometimes catching huge sea cows for a meal.”可知，虎鲨吃海牛。故选A。 2. 词句猜测题。根据“Although tiger sharks are dangerous to them, they are important to the health of the ocean ecosystem.”可知，虎鲨对它们很危险，但它们对海洋生态系统的健康很重要，划线部分“they”指代前文提到的“虎鲨”。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据“Each eats about 40 kilograms of seagrass a day.”可知，每头每天吃40公斤的海草，故两头海牛每天吃80公斤海草。故选D。 4. 细节理解题。根据“But in the world, tiger shark populations are becoming smaller”可知，虎鲨种群正变得越来越小。故选C。 5. 主旨大意题。根据“A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass eaten and less carbon kept in the ocean.”及“But here comes the question: What if sharks disappeared from the bay? The need to understand how they support their ecosystems becomes even more urgent.”并通读全文可知，此处介绍了虎鲨的减少带来的危害，故作者的写作目的是呼吁保护虎鲨。故选D。 Passage 5 Last weekend, I went camping after a long time of tiring work. The trip let me enjoy the clear lake and beautiful views in the forest. I felt the difference at once. I relaxed. I came home feeling rested. Going camping became a way to reduce the worry in my life. I not only got a nice weekend, but also experienced the benefits of nature, which was good for my mental health. Research has found that as few as five minutes in nature can be helpful for people to reduce worry and feel happier. This means that we can get relaxed and feel better from stepping outside right away. Even though sometimes we are unable to put our whole body and mind into nature, we can still find chances to relax in nature. We can take a five-minute break in a small park near our house or take a moment to sit under a big tree. We'll find them useful. Our better feelings in later life can demonstrate the active influence of nature. Besides simply spending more time outdoors, think about how we can enjoy nature even if we are too busy. Listen to recorded bird songs or rainstorms instead of music. Bring green plants or pictures of natural beauty into our home. Although bringing nature indoors is quite different from a real outdoor experience, we can still feel nature and experience better feelings. Being in nature doesn’t ask anything of us. Slow down, go outside, and notice what’s around us. Listen, touch and smell, and we will really notice the benefit in our emotions. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1. What did the writer do last weekend? A．The writer went camping. B．The writer went shopping. C．The writer went skating. D．The writer went boating. 2. Why does the writer mention the research in Paragraph 2?

What does the underlined word “demonstrate” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Improve. B．Give. C．Show. D．Decide. 4. What can help people feel better according to the writer? A．Putting plants at home. B．Listening to rock music. C．Taking pictures of houses. D．Sharing outdoor experiences. 5. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A．To describe personal worry about nature. B．To share a story about nature with us. C．To encourage us to get close to nature. D．To ask us to enjoy a slow and peaceful life. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 4. A 5.

It is made up of human fishers and dolphins! They work together to catch fish. Mauricio Cantor from Oregon State University, USA, studied this partnership. As he told Science News Explores, they started to work together more than a century ago. “The dolphins are really good at finding fish in the water and driving them to the coast.” Cantor said. “The fishermen are really good at catching the fish with their nets (网).” Once the fish are caught in the nets, dolphins can move in and get some for themselves. Cantor’s study described how fishermen and dolphins give signals (信号) to each other during fishing. When dolphins find fish, they drive them to the coast. Then they arch (拱起) their backs in front of the fishermen to tell them to cast (撒) nets. Fishermen will then cast the nets right away, or they may lose the best chance. “Fishermen need to be well-trained to understand the signals from dolphins.” said Cantor. The study found that fishermen are 17 times more likely to catch fish by working with dolphins. At the same time, cooperative (合作的) dolphins have 13 percent higher survival rates (生存率) than other dolphins. Human-animal partnerships have been unusual. But they give us an idea of how we can get along well with nature. 根据短文内容，完成下列句子 (每空一词) 。 1. The passage mainly introduces a fishing team which is made up of human fishers and in Brazil. 2.
