Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 　　Every year， travelers head to South America to be amazed at the vast glaciers， huge open skies and high mountains.But at Omora Ethnobotanical Park on Tierra del Fuego， visitors are encouraged to think small. 　　Tierra del Fuego， a remote island at the tip of South America， might offer little in terms of animals and trees， but when it comes to bryophytes （苔藓植物）， it is among the richest corners of the planet.In the area that covers less than 0.01％ of the Earth’s land surface， more than 5％ of the world’s bryophyte species are found. 　　On entering the park， you’re given a magnifying lens （放大镜）.Guided by plant experts， you are invited to get down on your hands and knees to explore the little-known world of Tierra del Fuego’s “miniature forests” — the bryophytes that cover the rocks and trees.Focus is key： as you tiptoe through the park， it is easy to miss or even step on them. 　　I wondered how interesting mosses could be.But when I got up close， they started to come to life.Shapes and colours appeared that were not visible to the naked eye.One plant was bright yellow， while another was green with a bright red tip like a little hat. 　　One of the strangest plants is Old Man’s Beard， which looks like thin noodles and hangs off the trees in webs.According to my guide Lily Lewis， it plays an important role in the growth of the forest， capturing nutrients （营养） and salts blown in on the ocean wind. 　　Old Man’s Beard is extremely vulnerable to pollution， and has all but disappeared across much of the planet.But in Tierra del Fuego， where the air and rain are among the cleanest on the planet， it grows wildly. 　　“The lens is your entry point into the world of the miniature forests，” Lewis said.“Looking through a lens reminds you that there are other viewpoints from which we can see the world.” 1.Which of the following best describes Tierra del Fuego？（　　） A.A wonderland for tiny plants. B.A unique place for rare species. C.A top destination for hiking lovers.

B.The value of the beached whales. C.The habitats the beached whales. D.The number of the beached whales. 6.What do we know about the beached whales？（　　） A.Some of them can be rescued. B.They prefer the food on the beach. C.Professionals can treat them alone. D.Climate change causes them to rest on the shore. 7.What happened to the body of a spade-toothed whale？（　　） A.It was covered by wet sheets. B.It was carried to museums nearby. C.It contributed much to the research. D.It was instantly thrown back into the ocean. 8.Why can whales be good for other ocean life？（　　） A.They both live in harmony. B.Nutrients after their death are valuable. C.The island they hide on are full of food. D.Other sea living things feed on their bodies. C 　　According to the Solar Energy Industry Association， the number of solar panels installed （安装） has grown rapidly in the past decade， and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals.But all of that growth will take up a lot of space， and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy， few like large solar panels to be installed near them. 　　Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible， so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them.Often， they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds.The result is that many communities， especially in farming regions， see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. 　　“Solar projects need to be good neighbors，” says Jordan Macknick， the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment （InSPIRE） project.“They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development， which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land.One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators （传粉昆虫）. 　　Habitat loss， pesticide use， and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades， which has damaged the U.S.agricultural economy.Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use.Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens， businesses， schools， cities — and now there are guidelines for solar farms. 　　Over the past few years， many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators， resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction.“These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape，” says Macknick. 9.What do solar developers often ignore？（　　） A.The decline in the demand for solar energy. B.The negative impact of installing solar panels. C.The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D.The most recent advances in solar technology. 10.What does InSPIRE aim to do？（　　） A.Improve the productivity of local farms. B.Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C.Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D.Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 11.What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4？（　　） A.To conserve pollinators. B.To restrict solar development. C.To diversify the economy. D.To ensure the supply of energy. 12.Which of the following is the best title for the text？（　　） A.Pollinators： To Leave or to Stay B.Solar Energy： Hope for the Future C.InSPIRE： A Leader in Agriculture D.Solar Farms： A New Development Ⅱ.完形填空 　　When I was 8， my family moved into our brand-new home.My parents had adapted it to our own 　13　 needs and interests， including built-in bookshelves to 　14　 their hundreds of books and a large， bright sunroom to shelter all the plants my garden-loving father planned to grow.Unfortunately， a few months later， a heart attack 　15　 his life. 　　My mother， who never had 　16　 filled our sunroom with low-light plants like ferns （蕨类植物）， which consistently died off.Instead of giving up， she 　17　 over years and eventually got better through trial and error. 　　She never specifically said she wanted to become a better gardener as a way to keep my dad’s memory alive， but I knew the sight of the 　18　 could call to mind their happy time.It was a 　19　 to her that at least part of the room always had plants growing in it. 　　Then last year， Mom experienced a series of 　20　 that landed her in hospital.As I was thoroughly 　21　 with tending her while raising kids and working， I felt 　22　 to the point of breakdown.　23　， I always got recharged when 　24　 her plants， especially her enormous ferns — now at home in a more appropriate 　25　 spot. 　　Mom may not be with us much longer， for her health has 　26　 significantly.It’s my 　27　 to develop a green thumb — nursing her plants is a future source of comfort that we could be always together. 13.（　） A.urgent　　　　　　 B.particular　　　 C.basic　　　　　 D.formal 14.（　） A.house B.contain C.keep D.hide 15.（　） A.wasted B.affected C.threatened D.claimed 16.（　） A.golden touch B.silver tongue C.brown thumbs D.green fingers 17.（　） A.examined B.explored C.experimented D.discovered 18.（　） A.books B.bookshelves C.plants D.home 19.（　） A.comfort B.promise C.reward D.habit 20.（　） A.rises B.climbs C.falls D.advances 21.（　） A.disappointed B.occupied C.bored D.associated 22.（　） A.energetic B.excited C.discouraged D.exhausted 23.（　） A.Logically B.Systematically C.Magically D.Consequently 24.（　） A.shouting at B.cleaning away C.cutting down D.caring for 25.（　） A.warm B.shady C.sunny D.cold 26.（　） A.improved B.declined C.changed D.increased 27.（　） A.turn B.decision C.dream D.future 6 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Section Ⅱ　Using language 基础知识自测 维度一 1.had collected　2.had purchased　3.had been delivered 4.had explained　5.had planned　6.had been　7.had； begun 8.had travelled 维度二 1.had found the best way　2.had got a new job 3.had been to this city　4.had hoped to finish reading this novel　5.had made progress　6.had left my ticket in the car 7.had received the letter　8.had cooked dinner 维度三 1.had； seen　2.had saved　3.booked　4.had； been 5.spent　6.got　7.had studied　8.had toured 9.were　10.visited 素养能力提升 Ⅰ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了火地岛的奥莫拉民族植物公园里的苔藓植物组成了一个微型森林世界。 1.A　推理判断题。文章第二段指出火地岛陆地面积虽小，但苔藓植物种类丰富，地球上超过 5％ 的苔藓植物物种在此被发现。所以火地岛是微小植物的仙境。 2.C　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，在公园探索时，专注很关键，因为稍不注意就会错过或踩到这些微小植物，这需要游客冷静又专注。 3.A　词义猜测题。根据第六段内容可知，“老人须” 在地球上很多地方几乎消失，而在火地岛因空气和雨水洁净生长繁茂，说明它对污染很敏感。 4.C　标题归纳题。文章围绕火地岛奥莫拉民族植物园展开，讲述游客在此用放大镜探索由苔藓植物构成的 “微型森林”，并介绍了 “老人须” 等奇特植物，C项（世界尽头的微型森林）涵盖了文章主要地点（火地岛世界尽头）和主要内容（微型森林），作为标题最合适。 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了鲸鱼搁浅的现象，以及科学家们对这一现象的理解和处理方式。 5.D　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，此次奥克尼群岛的鲸鱼搁浅事件令人惊讶的是搁浅鲸鱼的数量。 6.A　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，一些搁浅的鲸鱼是可以被救援的，专业人员和社区成员会一起努力让鲸鱼回到海洋。 7.C　细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知，这头剑吻鲸的尸体被用于分析，帮助研究人员获取了关于该物种的新信息，对研究贡献很大。 8.B　推理判断题。根据第四段中Dr Brownlow说的话可知，鲸鱼死亡后会沉入海底，形成富含营养的区域，对其他海洋生物有益。 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型的太阳能农场，这种新型的农场更有利于保护各种传粉昆虫，从而促进农业的发展。 9.B　推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句可知，太阳能开发者采用不环保的方式处理太阳能板安装后产生的问题，导致人们把太阳能农场看作是土壤的破坏者。由此可以推断，开发者在安装太阳能板后忽略了其带来的负面影响。 10.C　细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句可知，InSPIRE 项目致力于研究 “低影响” 的太阳能开发方法，以一种对土地更友好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场，也就是使太阳能项目更环保。 11.A　细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知，这些法律都是与保护传粉者栖息地和农药使用相关，所以这些法律的目的是保护传粉者。 12.D　标题归纳题。文章开篇指出太阳能板安装数量增长迅速，但在安装过程中存在占用空间以及对周边环境产生负面影响等问题。接着介绍 InSPIRE 项目致力于 “低影响” 太阳能开发。最后说明许多太阳能农场开发商已将太阳能板下的空间转变为传粉昆虫的庇护所，带来了土壤改善和碳减排等积极影响。整体来看，文章围绕太阳能农场的发展展开，突出了太阳能农场的新发展模式。因此，D项为本文最佳标题。 Ⅱ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了从父亲到母亲再到作者在养植物的过程中得到安慰的故事。 13.B　根据下文including built-in bookshelves to ... my garden-loving father planned to grow可知，父母对新家进行了改造以适应他们特定的需求和兴趣。 14.A　根据built-in bookshelves可知，书架用来存放他们的数百本书。 15.D　根据a heart attack可知，心脏病发作夺去了他的生命。 16.D　根据filled our sunroom with low-light plants like ferns （蕨类植物）， which consistently died off可知，母亲不擅长园艺。have green fingers意为“擅长园艺的人”。 17.C　根据eventually got better through trial and error可知，母亲多年来不断尝试，最终通过试错变得更好。 18.C　根据语境可知，这些植物会让她想起他们的快乐时光。 19.A　根据at least part of the room always had plants growing in it可知，这些植物让母亲感到安慰。 20.C　根据landed her in hospital可知，母亲摔倒导致住院。 21.B　作者既要照顾母亲，又要抚养孩子和工作，非常忙碌。 22.D　根据the point of breakdown可知，作者感到筋疲力尽。 23.C　根据I always got recharged可知，神奇的是，在照顾母亲的植物时，作者总是充满活力。 24.D　参见上题解析。 25.B　根据especially her enormous ferns可知，这里说的是有一个合适的阴凉处。 26.B　根据Mom may not be with us much longer可知，母亲的健康状况下降了。 27.A　根据上文可知，母亲生病，现在轮到作者来护理母亲的植物了。it’s one’s turn to do sth意为 “轮到某人做某事”。 6 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
