B The first forest library in Shanghai opened to the public. Readers can relax and read books in the forest library. The forest library is near Shanghai Library East. It covers an area of 20,546 square meters. Readers can relax themselves in the quiet and comfortable environment (环境). There are many different kinds of trees in the library. The green spaces are connected (连接) by wooden walkways (木制人行道). The library is in the open air. There are many things such as chairs and information desks. Most of the visitors to the forest library are young people and parents with their children. Having a library in the forest is such a wonderful idea. People enjoy themselves reading in the forest. “It is not only a place for lending books, or a reading room, but also an open space for enjoying fresh air and the smell of trees. It offers readers a different reading experience (体验). I love the fresh air and trees here,” said Wang Tao, “The library makes it possible to enjoy reading in the natural environment.

Or explored huge caves full of strange shapes? These are part of karst landscapes (喀斯特地貌), a natural wonder that China is famous for. Karst is a special landform formed over millions of years. When rainwater, which is slightly acidic (酸性的), falls on limestone (a type of rock), it slowly breaks down the rock. This process creates amazing shapes on the surface and underground. In China, you can find some of the most breathtaking karst scenery in the world. The Stone Forest (Shilin) in Yunnan is a fantastic example. It looks like a real forest made of stone! Walking through it, you will be amazed by the countless stone peaks and towers. Local Yi people even have a famous festival there. Another world-famous site is the South China Karst in Guilin and Yangshuo. The landscape there has the feature of green-covered karst hills standing along the beautiful Li River. It is so beautiful that it appears on the back of the 20-yuan Chinese banknote. Taking a boat trip along the river is like traveling through a Chinese painting. Besides the beautiful surface views, karst areas also hide unbelievable underground worlds, such as the Reed Flute Cave in Guilin. Inside, you can see stunning stalactites (hanging from the ceiling) and stalagmites (rising from the floor), all lit up by colorful lights, creating a magical scene. These karst landscapes are not just beautiful; they are also valuable for scientific research. However, they face threats from pollution and too much tourism. Protecting these natural wonders is very important so that future generations can also enjoy their beauty. 46．How does the writer start Paragraph 1? A．By telling a story. B．By comparing facts. C．By asking questions. D．By giving examples. 47．What is the main cause of the formation of karst landscapes? A．Strong winds and earthquakes. B．Acidic rainwater washing away limestone.

B．Karst landscapes are only beautiful but have no scientific value. C．The Reed Flute Cave is famous for its hills above the ground. D．Karst landscapes need protection from human activities. 50．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To explain how karst landscapes are formed. B．To suggest traveling to Yunnan and Guilin. C．To provide basic information about karst landscapes. D．To call for action to protect karst landscapes. D We can see different kinds of wonderful things in nature. A glacier (冰川) is one of them. What’s a glacier? It is a large piece of ice. Glaciers are called “rivers of ice”. That’s because they move like very slow rivers. There are two main kinds of glaciers. One is a sheet of ice that spreads over a large area of land. The other kind forms in mountains and moves down to valleys (山谷). Falling snow forms glaciers. In high mountains, snow falls and does not melt (融化). New snow falls on old snow. After many years, the snow becomes a little closer together. It turns into ice and later into glaciers. Over time, a glacier becomes very heavy. This causes it to move. Glaciers change the Earth’s surface as they move. They shape mountains. They carry rocks and soil (土壤). When glaciers melt, they leave behind the rocks and soil. Most places with high mountains have glaciers. Glaciers cover one-tenth of the Earth’s land. Most of the Earth’s fresh water is stored in glaciers. Melted glacier water is used as drinking water in some places. Scientists study glaciers that are thousands of years old. They also learn about the Earth’s climate long ago. When a glacier reaches the ocean, parts of it break off. These icebergs (冰山) can be bad for ships. Glaciers are dangerous for mountain climbers. Many glaciers have deep cracks (裂缝) that can open quickly. Scientists have realized glaciers have a close connection with the climate. They begin to melt because of the rising temperature. In order to stop the melting of glaciers caused by climate change, each of us should do something. 51．How do glaciers get the name “rivers of ice”? A．From their shapes. B．From their uses. C．From the way they melt. D．From the way they move. 52．Which question does Paragraph 3 mainly answer? A．How many glaciers are there? B．How do glaciers come into being? C．What can glaciers bring to human beings? D．Why doesn’t the snow in high mountains melt? 53．What does the underlined word “stored” in Paragraph 5 mean? A．Kept. B．Wasted. C．Broken. D．Chosen. 54．What may the writer write in the next paragraph? A．How glaciers influence animals. B．The reasons for studying glaciers. C．What people can do to save glaciers. D．Some ways to get healthy drinking water. 55．What would be the best title for the passage? A．The kinds of glaciers. B．The dangers of glaciers. C．Some facts about glaciers. D．Some funny stories about glaciers. E The Xisha Islands are in the northwest part of the South China Sea. They are beautiful places with nice views and many resources (资源). This is how our primary school textbook describes them. Many Chinese people know about the South China Sea and the Xisha Islands, but only a few have been there. These islands are far away and have a weak ecosystem (生态环境). Because of this, most activities there are just fishing, protecting the environment, and doing scientific studies. Visitors are mainly government workers, fishermen’s relatives, and media (媒体) members. In 2012, the Chinese government set up Sansha City on Xisha’s Yongxing Island. I once visited the Yongle Islands, part of Sansha. I thought the fishermen’s homes would be simple, but they were very comfortable. The island had a vegetable garden, and green vegetables were seen on the local tables. I stayed in a hotel with a playground downstairs. After dinner, everyone got together to play games. Later, I walked along the island’s paths, enjoying the sea view and a peaceful moment. Fishermen told me they used traditional ways to fish. They knew exactly which fish could be caught because of their different sizes. As for smaller fish, fishermen released (释放) them back into the sea. One thing that I never forgot was an outdoor movie called Island Keeper. It was about a couple who guarded the island for 32 years. Many fishermen were moved to tears. One fisherman said as life on the island improved, his family loved to stay on the island during the fishing season. He also drove a passenger boat, so he made more money even when he was not fishing. The careful management of the Xisha Islands limits (限制) tourism but gives job opportunities (机会) to local fishermen. 56．What does the word “them” in the first paragraph refer to? A．nice views B．the Xisha Islands C．many resources D．the South China Sea 57．What causes only a few people to visit the Xisha Islands? ① The islands are far away.         ② Not many people know the islands. ③ The ecosystem there is weak.     ④ The islands are used for scientific study. A．①② B．③④ C．②④ D．①③ 58．What can we infer from the text now? A．Fishermen catch fish in modern ways. B．Fishermen enjoy their life on the islands. C．More and more visitors come to the Xisha Islands now. D．The living conditions of fishermen are poor and simple. 59．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The beautiful scenery and rich resources of the Xisha Islands. B．The history and development of Sansha City on the Xisha Island. C．The writer’s experience in the Xisha Islands and the management and life there. D．The traditional fishing methods of fishermen in the Xisha Islands.

Why do they go? There are no famous buildings, no hotels and no restaurants. There are some beaches, but nobody wants to go swimming. Why do people want to take a vacation in Antarctica? Most people go to see the birds, the animals and the amazing scenery. There are seals(海豹）lying on the ice. There are whales swimming in the ocean. You can also watch penguins jumping into water from icebergs(冰山). It’s one of the last untouched places on the planet. It’s possible to visit Antarctica by plane, but most people go there by ship. That’s because the ships are comfortable places to stay, and the journey (by sea) is part of the vacation. All tourists visit Antarctica in the summer. In the winter it’s too cold for visitors, but in the summer—from November to March—it’s warmer than many people think. In some parts of Antarctica in January, it’s about 0℃. So it can be warmer there than it is in Beijing in January. When you visit there, you don’t need to bring a lot of special clothes. Instead, you need to bring sunglasses. The sunshine on the snow and ice is very bright. Tourists are not the only people who go to Antarctica. In the summer months there are about 4,000 scientists and other people living and working there, and a few of them stay for the long, drink winters. Tourists can visit some of these people and learn about their work in this amazing place. 65．Why do most tourists visit Antarctica? 66．How can people go to Antarctica? 67．When is the best time for people to visit Antarctica? 68．It’s warm in Antarctica in July, isn’t it? 69．Who also go to Antarctica besides the tourists? 五、选词填空 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。 field  be  real  from  them  and  change  develop  landscape  one Are you looking for a lovely place to spend your vacation?

B The first forest library in Shanghai opened to the public. Readers can relax and read books in the forest library. The forest library is near Shanghai Library East. It covers an area of 20,546 square meters. Readers can relax themselves in the quiet and comfortable environment (环境). There are many different kinds of trees in the library. The green spaces are connected (连接) by wooden walkways (木制人行道). The library is in the open air. There are many things such as chairs and information desks. Most of the visitors to the forest library are young people and parents with their children. Having a library in the forest is such a wonderful idea. People enjoy themselves reading in the forest. “It is not only a place for lending books, or a reading room, but also an open space for enjoying fresh air and the smell of trees. It offers readers a different reading experience (体验). I love the fresh air and trees here,” said Wang Tao, “The library makes it possible to enjoy reading in the natural environment.

Or explored huge caves full of strange shapes? These are part of karst landscapes (喀斯特地貌), a natural wonder that China is famous for. Karst is a special landform formed over millions of years. When rainwater, which is slightly acidic (酸性的), falls on limestone (a type of rock), it slowly breaks down the rock. This process creates amazing shapes on the surface and underground. In China, you can find some of the most breathtaking karst scenery in the world. The Stone Forest (Shilin) in Yunnan is a fantastic example. It looks like a real forest made of stone! Walking through it, you will be amazed by the countless stone peaks and towers. Local Yi people even have a famous festival there. Another world-famous site is the South China Karst in Guilin and Yangshuo. The landscape there has the feature of green-covered karst hills standing along the beautiful Li River. It is so beautiful that it appears on the back of the 20-yuan Chinese banknote. Taking a boat trip along the river is like traveling through a Chinese painting. Besides the beautiful surface views, karst areas also hide unbelievable underground worlds, such as the Reed Flute Cave in Guilin. Inside, you can see stunning stalactites (hanging from the ceiling) and stalagmites (rising from the floor), all lit up by colorful lights, creating a magical scene. These karst landscapes are not just beautiful; they are also valuable for scientific research. However, they face threats from pollution and too much tourism. Protecting these natural wonders is very important so that future generations can also enjoy their beauty. 46．How does the writer start Paragraph 1? A．By telling a story. B．By comparing facts. C．By asking questions. D．By giving examples. 47．What is the main cause of the formation of karst landscapes? A．Strong winds and earthquakes. B．Acidic rainwater washing away limestone.

B．Karst landscapes are only beautiful but have no scientific value. C．The Reed Flute Cave is famous for its hills above the ground. D．Karst landscapes need protection from human activities. 50．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To explain how karst landscapes are formed. B．To suggest traveling to Yunnan and Guilin. C．To provide basic information about karst landscapes. D．To call for action to protect karst landscapes. D We can see different kinds of wonderful things in nature. A glacier (冰川) is one of them. What’s a glacier? It is a large piece of ice. Glaciers are called “rivers of ice”. That’s because they move like very slow rivers. There are two main kinds of glaciers. One is a sheet of ice that spreads over a large area of land. The other kind forms in mountains and moves down to valleys (山谷). Falling snow forms glaciers. In high mountains, snow falls and does not melt (融化). New snow falls on old snow. After many years, the snow becomes a little closer together. It turns into ice and later into glaciers. Over time, a glacier becomes very heavy. This causes it to move. Glaciers change the Earth’s surface as they move. They shape mountains. They carry rocks and soil (土壤). When glaciers melt, they leave behind the rocks and soil. Most places with high mountains have glaciers. Glaciers cover one-tenth of the Earth’s land. Most of the Earth’s fresh water is stored in glaciers. Melted glacier water is used as drinking water in some places. Scientists study glaciers that are thousands of years old. They also learn about the Earth’s climate long ago. When a glacier reaches the ocean, parts of it break off. These icebergs (冰山) can be bad for ships. Glaciers are dangerous for mountain climbers. Many glaciers have deep cracks (裂缝) that can open quickly. Scientists have realized glaciers have a close connection with the climate. They begin to melt because of the rising temperature. In order to stop the melting of glaciers caused by climate change, each of us should do something. 51．How do glaciers get the name “rivers of ice”? A．From their shapes. B．From their uses. C．From the way they melt. D．From the way they move. 52．Which question does Paragraph 3 mainly answer? A．How many glaciers are there? B．How do glaciers come into being? C．What can glaciers bring to human beings? D．Why doesn’t the snow in high mountains melt? 53．What does the underlined word “stored” in Paragraph 5 mean? A．Kept. B．Wasted. C．Broken. D．Chosen. 54．What may the writer write in the next paragraph? A．How glaciers influence animals. B．The reasons for studying glaciers. C．What people can do to save glaciers. D．Some ways to get healthy drinking water. 55．What would be the best title for the passage? A．The kinds of glaciers. B．The dangers of glaciers. C．Some facts about glaciers. D．Some funny stories about glaciers. E The Xisha Islands are in the northwest part of the South China Sea. They are beautiful places with nice views and many resources (资源). This is how our primary school textbook describes them. Many Chinese people know about the South China Sea and the Xisha Islands, but only a few have been there. These islands are far away and have a weak ecosystem (生态环境). Because of this, most activities there are just fishing, protecting the environment, and doing scientific studies. Visitors are mainly government workers, fishermen’s relatives, and media (媒体) members. In 2012, the Chinese government set up Sansha City on Xisha’s Yongxing Island. I once visited the Yongle Islands, part of Sansha. I thought the fishermen’s homes would be simple, but they were very comfortable. The island had a vegetable garden, and green vegetables were seen on the local tables. I stayed in a hotel with a playground downstairs. After dinner, everyone got together to play games. Later, I walked along the island’s paths, enjoying the sea view and a peaceful moment. Fishermen told me they used traditional ways to fish. They knew exactly which fish could be caught because of their different sizes. As for smaller fish, fishermen released (释放) them back into the sea. One thing that I never forgot was an outdoor movie called Island Keeper. It was about a couple who guarded the island for 32 years. Many fishermen were moved to tears. One fisherman said as life on the island improved, his family loved to stay on the island during the fishing season. He also drove a passenger boat, so he made more money even when he was not fishing. The careful management of the Xisha Islands limits (限制) tourism but gives job opportunities (机会) to local fishermen. 56．What does the word “them” in the first paragraph refer to? A．nice views B．the Xisha Islands C．many resources D．the South China Sea 57．What causes only a few people to visit the Xisha Islands? ① The islands are far away.         ② Not many people know the islands. ③ The ecosystem there is weak.     ④ The islands are used for scientific study. A．①② B．③④ C．②④ D．①③ 58．What can we infer from the text now? A．Fishermen catch fish in modern ways. B．Fishermen enjoy their life on the islands. C．More and more visitors come to the Xisha Islands now. D．The living conditions of fishermen are poor and simple. 59．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The beautiful scenery and rich resources of the Xisha Islands. B．The history and development of Sansha City on the Xisha Island. C．The writer’s experience in the Xisha Islands and the management and life there. D．The traditional fishing methods of fishermen in the Xisha Islands.

Why do they go? There are no famous buildings, no hotels and no restaurants. There are some beaches, but nobody wants to go swimming. Why do people want to take a vacation in Antarctica? Most people go to see the birds, the animals and the amazing scenery. There are seals(海豹）lying on the ice. There are whales swimming in the ocean. You can also watch penguins jumping into water from icebergs(冰山). It’s one of the last untouched places on the planet. It’s possible to visit Antarctica by plane, but most people go there by ship. That’s because the ships are comfortable places to stay, and the journey (by sea) is part of the vacation. All tourists visit Antarctica in the summer. In the winter it’s too cold for visitors, but in the summer—from November to March—it’s warmer than many people think. In some parts of Antarctica in January, it’s about 0℃. So it can be warmer there than it is in Beijing in January. When you visit there, you don’t need to bring a lot of special clothes. Instead, you need to bring sunglasses. The sunshine on the snow and ice is very bright. Tourists are not the only people who go to Antarctica. In the summer months there are about 4,000 scientists and other people living and working there, and a few of them stay for the long, drink winters. Tourists can visit some of these people and learn about their work in this amazing place. 65．Why do most tourists visit Antarctica? 66．How can people go to Antarctica? 67．When is the best time for people to visit Antarctica? 68．It’s warm in Antarctica in July, isn’t it? 69．Who also go to Antarctica besides the tourists? 五、选词填空 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。 field  be  real  from  them  and  change  develop  landscape  one Are you looking for a lovely place to spend your vacation?
