In Green Middle School, there is a special after-school club called the Pet Helpers Club. It was started by two 8th-grade students, Lily and Tom, last year. They both love animals and wanted to do something to help the homeless pets in their town.
At first, only 5 students joined the club. They spent their after-school time making posters and asking people to adopt (收养) cats and dogs from the local animal shelter.

After the boy left, the old man went fishing alone. One day, the old man caught a huge marlin. He was greatly tested. Unluckily, the marlin’s blood (血) attracted a lot of sharks (鲨鱼).

This April in northern England, a strange sight drew people’s attention: a “huge bird” was walking through the fields! The “bird” looked like something out of a fantasy movie. But it was actually Matt Trevelyan, a 46-year-old birdwatching lover wearing handmade Eurasian curlew (白腰杓鹬) clothes!
Eurasian curlews are large birds with long legs. They are now on the brink of extinction in the UK. Foxes, crows, and even sheep eat their eggs or babies. Farming and building are destroying their homes. In the UK, the number of curlews has dropped by about 50% over the last 30 years!
Matt works in a protected natural area, and he knows the importance of helping the birds. He spent three days creating the curlew clothes with bamboo, cloth, and plastic. Then he wore it and walked 53 miles in total along the Nidderdale Way. This unusual walk wasn’t for fun. It called attention to the Eurasian curlew.
Matt’s idea came from the writer Mary Colwell. In 2016, Mary walked about 500 miles across the British Isles to make people notice curlews. She later created World Curlew Day, published a book Curlew Moon to share her journey, and formed a charity saving the birds from dying out.
Matt wanted to do something similar. His walk was his way of supporting the birds’ protection. It shows even one person can make a difference in protecting animals. Maybe we can all do something to help, too!
50. What does the underlined phrase “on the brink of extinction” mean in paragraph 2?
A. in need of more food B. in need of safe living places
C. in danger of dying out D. in danger of losing homes
51. What is the correct order of Matt’s actions?
①He made the curlew clothes with different materials.
②He walked 53 miles in all along the Nidderdale Way.
③He decided to do something to help Eurasian curlews.
④He learned about Mary Colwell’s story and got the idea.
A. ④③①② B. ④①③② C. ①④②③ D. ①②④③
52. What will the writer most probably talk about next?
A. The story of how Mary Colwell set up the charity.
B. More information about the life of Eurasian curlews.
C. The number of Eurasian curlews left in other countries.
D. Some actions people can take to protect Eurasian curlews.

阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。
Do you know what people usually eat on the winter solstice (冬至) and why?
Once upon a time, there was a doctor named Zhang Zhongjing. Dr. Zhang saw many poor people in his city. It was very cold, and the people had no hats to keep their ears warm, so they had red and sore (痛) ears.
The winter solstice came. It is the shortest day of the year. It has the longest and coldest night. Dr. Zhang was kind and warm-hearted. He wanted to help poor people feel better and decided to make something warm for them to eat. He took a big pot of hot water outside. First, he cooked mutton and vegetables in the pot. Then he began to make dough (面团). After that, he made the dough into small circles. He put the mutton and vegetables inside. He folded them and made them into an ear shape! At last, he put the “dough ears” in the soup and cooked them. He gave them to the people in the town. After eating, they felt warm. Even their ears were warm!
The people thanked Dr. Zhang. The “cooked ears” had a special name—tender ears. Also, people learned to make the food. Later, the name was changed into Jiaozi or dumplings. Jiaozi carries people’s great wish for warmth and health.

This April in northern England, a strange sight drew people’s attention: a “huge bird” was walking through the fields! The “bird” looked like something out of a fantasy movie. But it was actually Matt Trevelyan, a 46-year-old birdwatching lover wearing handmade Eurasian curlew (白腰杓鹬) clothes!
Eurasian curlews are large birds with long legs. They are now on the brink of extinction in the UK. Foxes, crows, and even sheep eat their eggs or babies. Farming and building are destroying their homes. In the UK, the number of curlews has dropped by about 50% over the last 30 years!
Matt works in a protected natural area, and he knows the importance of helping the birds. He spent three days creating the curlew clothes with bamboo, cloth, and plastic. Then he wore it and walked 53 miles in total along the Nidderdale Way. This unusual walk wasn’t for fun. It called attention to the Eurasian curlew.
Matt’s idea came from the writer Mary Colwell. In 2016, Mary walked about 500 miles across the British Isles to make people notice curlews. She later created World Curlew Day, published a book Curlew Moon to share her journey, and formed a charity saving the birds from dying out.
Matt wanted to do something similar. His walk was his way of supporting the birds’ protection. It shows even one person can make a difference in protecting animals. Maybe we can all do something to help, too!
50. What does the underlined phrase “on the brink of extinction” mean in paragraph 2?
A. in need of more food B. in need of safe living places
C. in danger of dying out D. in danger of losing homes
51. What is the correct order of Matt’s actions?
①He made the curlew clothes with different materials.
②He walked 53 miles in all along the Nidderdale Way.
③He decided to do something to help Eurasian curlews.
④He learned about Mary Colwell’s story and got the idea.
A. ④③①② B. ④①③② C. ①④②③ D. ①②④③
52. What will the writer most probably talk about next?
A. The story of how Mary Colwell set up the charity.
B. More information about the life of Eurasian curlews.
C. The number of Eurasian curlews left in other countries.
D. Some actions people can take to protect Eurasian curlews.
【答案】50. C 51. A 52. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了英国观鸟爱好者马特·特里维廉通过身着自制白腰杓鹬服装长途行走的独特方式,唤起公众关注这种濒临灭绝的鸟类的故事,并提及了其灵感的来源。
【50题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第2段“They are now on the brink of extinction in the UK. Foxes, crows, and even sheep eat their eggs or babies. Farming and building are destroying their homes. In the UK, the number of curlews has dropped by about 50%...”可知,白腰杓鹬面临捕食者威胁和栖息地被破坏,数量大幅下降,因此它们处于“濒临灭绝”的境地。“on the brink of extinction”在这里表示“处于灭绝边缘”的意思。故选C。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章描述,马特的行动顺序是:首先,他得知作家玛丽·科尔威尔的故事并获得了灵感(第4段)。接着,他决定为帮助白腰杓鹬做点事(第5段“Matt wanted to do something similar.”)。然后,他花了三天时间制作了这套服装(第3段)。最后,他穿着它步行了53英里(第3段)。因此,正确顺序为④-③-①-②。故选A。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。文章结尾处写道“Maybe we can all do something to help, too!”,这为接下来介绍读者可以采取的具体行动来保护白腰杓鹬做了铺垫。因此,作者接下来最有可能谈论人们可以采取哪些行动来保护白腰杓鹬。故选D。
F

Do you know what people usually eat on the winter solstice (冬至) and why?
Once upon a time, there was a doctor named Zhang Zhongjing. Dr. Zhang saw many poor people in his city. It was very cold, and the people had no hats to keep their ears warm, so they had red and sore (痛的) ears.
The winter solstice came. It is the shortest day of the year. It has the longest and coldest night. Dr. Zhang was kind and warm-hearted. He wanted to help poor people feel better and decided to make something warm for them to eat. He took a big pot of hot water outside. First, he cooked mutton and vegetables in the pot. Then he began to make dough (面团). After that, he made the dough into small circles. He put the mutton and vegetables inside. He folded them and made them into an ear shape! At last, he put the “dough ears” in the soup and cooked them. He gave them to the people in the town. After eating, they felt warm. Even their ears were warm!
The people thanked Dr. Zhang. The “cooked ears” had a special name—tender ears. Also, people learned to make the food. Later, the name was changed into Jiaozi or dumplings. Jiaozi carries people’s great wish for warmth and health.
