三、阅读理解
Durian(榴莲) is probably the smelliest fruit in the world, letting out an unusual unpleasant smell which would make anyone bring up. However, nobody was aware of what gave this fruit its unique smell, so a team of researchers from Singapore decided to take a look at its genome (基因组) and find out,
Durian is well-known throughout Southeast Asia as the king of fruits, mostly because of its awful appearance and smell. However, the origin of this unpleasant smell was unknown, so researchers decided to map the genome of the fruit, and find the gene that controlled it. A group of genes, volatile sulfur compounds (含硫化合物), became very active in the fruit, and they were found responsible for resulting in the unpleasant smell.
The fruit confuses everyone with a sulfuric smell, like rotten onions and ingredients. The smell lasts long, mostly because the fruit contains more volatile sulfur compounds. Other species usually benefit from two gene copies at most, but durian has four, leading to the striking smell.
However, this smell might be an advantage for durian in the wild. Although we find it unpleasant, many animals might be attracted by it. If they eat the fruit, then they can easily spread its seeds everywhere, thus contributing to the distribution of the species.
The mapping of the durian genome also showed some other information on the species. First of all the fruit has an impressive number of genes, namely 46,000. Also, with the help of these genes, they saw how it evolved, and discovered it was related to the cacao tree. All the other discoveries have been published in the journal Nature Genetics.
Despite the striking smell many people actually enjoy eating the fruit. However, not all durian species are edible, and some of them may even cause damage to our health, Even so, the fruit is often imported, significantly contributing to the economy.
1. What give durian its unique smell?
A. Onions nearby.
B. Two gene copies.
C. Rotten ingredients in it.
D. Volatile sulfur compounds.
2. What does the underlined word “evolved” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Developed.
B. Escaped.
C. Predicted.
D. Tolerated.
3. What can we infer from the text?
A. No birds enjoy eating durian.
B. Durian can be planted all over the world.
C. Some of durian species can not be eaten.
D. Durian has no relationship with the cacao tree.
4. What’s the best title for the text?
A. What’s Durian?
B. The Influence of the Smell
C. The Distribution of Durian
D. The Mystery of the Unpleasant Smell of Durian

C
There’s a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble In The World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too––– that’s why it made Nov 16th “International Day for Tolerance”.
But first of all, what is tolerance? According to French philosopher Voltaire, tolerance is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each other’s fool––– that is the first law of nature.”
Very often, people don’t realize that they’re intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UN’s campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don’t put themselves in the shoes of women.
It’s worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we’re speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isn’t necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there’s something wrong with them.
Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That’s the reason we should be tolerant. It’s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness.
8. What’s the purpose of the UN “International Day For Tolerance”?
A. To arouse people’s awareness of tolerance among people.
B. To celebrate the founding of the UN.
C. To solve the problem of global warming.
D. To change peopled opinion towards globalization.
9. Why do men behave intolerantly towards women?
A. Because men don’t realize the purpose of the UN.
B. Because men are physically stronger than women.
C. Because men don’t appreciate the shoes of women.
D. Because men are not willing to understand women.
10. Why is it meaningless to use the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”?
A. Because they are hard to pronounce in English.
B. Because they don’t express the exact meaning people refer to.
C. Because they can’t be translated into other languages.
D. Because they can’t be used in a respectful way.
11. In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”?
A. Humans are advised to treat others better.
B. Humans leant to find faults in others.
C. Humans need to give something to others.
D. Humans will change their attitudes to others.
二、思维提升-观点分享

questions below.
1.What evidence does the text provide to show that Earth's climate is changing dramatically?
2.What actions does the text suggest individuals and governments can take to address climate change?

1、 用所给单词的适当形式填空
1.What shocked the scientists was that the seal _______________ (starve) to death because it couldn’t find enough food to eat.
【答案】starved / had starved
【解析】考查动词时态。句意为“让科学家震惊的是这只海豹因为找不到足够的食物而饿死了”。分析句子结构可知,主句时态为一般过去时,从句动作“饿死”发生在主句动作“震惊”之前,可用一般过去时(starved)或过去完成时(had starved),故填starved / had starved。
2.___________(seize) the precious chance enabled him to get promoted quite easily.
【答案】Seizing
【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意为“抓住这个宝贵的机会使他很容易就得到了晋升”。分析句子结构可知,此处作句子的主语,需用动名词形式。故填Seizing。
3.He has a business degree and training in the area of environmental ________________ (sustain).
【答案】sustainability
【解析】考查词性转换(名词)。句意为“他拥有商科学位,并接受过环境可持续发展领域的培训”。分析句子结构可知,空前为形容词environmental,需修饰名词,sustain的名词形式是sustainability,意为“可持续性”。故填sustainability。
4.Without correct leadership, the enthusiasm of the masses cannot ________________ (sustain).

【解析】考查动词的被动语态。句意为“没有正确的领导,群众的热情无法维持下去”。分析句子结构可知,主语the enthusiasm与动词sustain之间是被动关系,且情态动词cannot后接动词原形,故填be sustained。
5.A Toronto man is offering a free round- the-world air ticket to the right woman. But__________(restrict) apply.
【答案】restrictions

Durian(榴莲) is probably the smelliest fruit in the world, letting out an unusual unpleasant smell which would make anyone bring up. However, nobody was aware of what gave this fruit its unique smell, so a team of researchers from Singapore decided to take a look at its genome (基因组) and find out,
Durian is well-known throughout Southeast Asia as the king of fruits, mostly because of its awful appearance and smell. However, the origin of this unpleasant smell was unknown, so researchers decided to map the genome of the fruit, and find the gene that controlled it. A group of genes, volatile sulfur compounds (含硫化合物), became very active in the fruit, and they were found responsible for resulting in the unpleasant smell.
The fruit confuses everyone with a sulfuric smell, like rotten onions and ingredients. The smell lasts long, mostly because the fruit contains more volatile sulfur compounds. Other species usually benefit from two gene copies at most, but durian has four, leading to the striking smell.
However, this smell might be an advantage for durian in the wild. Although we find it unpleasant, many animals might be attracted by it. If they eat the fruit, then they can easily spread its seeds everywhere, thus contributing to the distribution of the species.
The mapping of the durian genome also showed some other information on the species. First of all the fruit has an impressive number of genes, namely 46,000. Also, with the help of these genes, they saw how it evolved, and discovered it was related to the cacao tree. All the other discoveries have been published in the journal Nature Genetics.
Despite the striking smell many people actually enjoy eating the fruit. However, not all durian species are edible, and some of them may even cause damage to our health, Even so, the fruit is often imported, significantly contributing to the economy.
1. What give durian its unique smell?
A. Onions nearby.
B. Two gene copies.
C. Rotten ingredients in it.
D. Volatile sulfur compounds.
2. What does the underlined word “evolved” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Developed.
B. Escaped.
C. Predicted.
D. Tolerated.
3. What can we infer from the text?
A. No birds enjoy eating durian.
B. Durian can be planted all over the world.
C. Some of durian species can not be eaten.
D. Durian has no relationship with the cacao tree.
4. What’s the best title for the text?
A. What’s Durian?
B. The Influence of the Smell
C. The Distribution of Durian
D. The Mystery of the Unpleasant Smell of Durian
【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 4.D

There’s a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble In The World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too––– that’s why it made Nov 16th “International Day for Tolerance”.
But first of all, what is tolerance? According to French philosopher Voltaire, tolerance is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each other’s fool––– that is the first law of nature.”
Very often, people don’t realize that they’re intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UN’s campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don’t put themselves in the shoes of women.
It’s worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we’re speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isn’t necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there’s something wrong with them.
Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That’s the reason we should be tolerant. It’s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness.
8. What’s the purpose of the UN “International Day For Tolerance”?
A. To arouse people’s awareness of tolerance among people.
B. To celebrate the founding of the UN.
C. To solve the problem of global warming.
D. To change peopled opinion towards globalization.
9. Why do men behave intolerantly towards women?
A. Because men don’t realize the purpose of the UN.
B. Because men are physically stronger than women.
C. Because men don’t appreciate the shoes of women.
D. Because men are not willing to understand women.
10. Why is it meaningless to use the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”?
A. Because they are hard to pronounce in English.
B. Because they don’t express the exact meaning people refer to.
C. Because they can’t be translated into other languages.
D. Because they can’t be used in a respectful way.
11. In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”?
A. Humans are advised to treat others better.
B. Humans leant to find faults in others.
C. Humans need to give something to others.
D. Humans will change their attitudes to others.

questions below.
1.What evidence does the text provide to show that Earth's climate is changing dramatically?
2.What actions does the text suggest individuals and governments can take to address climate change?
【答案】
1.The evidence includes a warming ocean and atmosphere, melting ice, rising sea levels, and the rising trend of global surface temperature shown in the graph (1920–2016). Additionally, the starving death of a polar bear due to low sea-ice levels caused by climate change is presented as ecological evidence.
2.Governments: They need to consider making policies and taking appropriate actions and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; Individuals: They can reduce their "carbon footprint" by restricting the amount of carbon dioxide their lifestyles produce, and seize every opportunity to educate everyone about global warming, its causes and impacts.
三、思维提升-书面表达
假设你是李华,你校英文报正在开展以“Climate Change and Our Responsibilities”为主题的征文活动。请你根据以下要点,写一篇英语短文投稿:

2.谈谈个人和政府可以采取的应对措施;
3.发出倡议,呼吁大家关注气候变化。
要求:词数100左右,可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
【参考范文】
Climate change has become a critical issue that requires global attention. Warming oceans, melting ice, and rising sea levels are clear signs of dramatic climate change. A heartbreaking example is the starving polar bear found in Svalbard in 2013, which died because climate change reduced sea ice and prevented it from hunting seals.
To address this, governments should make policies to cut greenhouse gas emissions. As individuals, we can reduce our carbon footprint by limiting carbon production in our daily lives and educating others about global warming.
Let’s take action now to protect our planet!
