The waterfall gets its name from its shape—it looks like a huge pot holding the rushing water. Every year, millions of visitors come to enjoy its powerful, beautiful view. Hukou Waterfall and the Yellow River have had a great influence on Yan’an for a long time. First, the river brings rich soil to the land around Yan’an, which helps local people grow crops. Second, the waterfall is an important tourist attraction. It brings in visitors, creates jobs for local people, and helps the local economy grow. Third, the Yellow River is a symbol of the Chinese spirit. In Yan’an, the river has become a part of people’s life and culture, reminding them of the hard-working spirit of the Chinese nation.

They have shaped our culture, inspired our art and taught us the power of nature. However, as human activities expand, the relationship between humans and natural wonders has become more complex. On one hand, natural wonders bring great economic benefits to local communities. Tourism related to natural wonders creates jobs, boosts local economy and improves people’s living standards. For example, Zhangjiajie in China and the Grand Canyon in the US have become important tourist destinations, lifting millions of people out of poverty. On the other hand, the rapid development of tourism has also brought serious problems. Too many visitors cause pollution, damage the ecosystem and threaten the survival of rare species. In addition, climate change caused by human activities is accelerating the degradation of natural wonders. Many glaciers are melting, coral reefs are dying, and deserts are expanding. To balance economic development and environmental protection, many countries have adopted sustainable tourism models. They limit the number of visitors, use eco-friendly transportation and build green facilities. They also educate visitors about environmental protection, encouraging them to leave no trace when visiting natural wonders. Scientists have also made great efforts to study and protect natural wonders. They use advanced technology to monitor the changes of natural wonders, predict potential risks and take measures to protect them. For example, scientists are working to restore the Great Barrier Reef by planting corals and reducing pollution. The protection of natural wonders is a long-term task that requires the joint efforts of governments, scientists, enterprises and individuals. Only by working together can we ensure that these amazing natural wonders will be enjoyed by future generations. 1．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?

The most common color is green, but you can also see pink, red, yellow, and blue. It’s like a huge light show put on by nature! Why does this happen? It starts with the sun. The sun is always sending out small particles (粒子). When these particles reach Earth, they meet our planet’s magnetic field (磁场). The magnetic field pulls them towards the North and South Poles. When the particles hit the air, they create energy, and this energy turns into beautiful light. Many people travel to countries like Iceland, Norway, and Canada to see the Northern Lights. The best time to watch them is in winter, when the nights are long and dark. You need a clear, cloudless sky. Sometimes you have to wait for hours in the cold, but when the lights finally appear, it is all worth it. It truly is a wonder of nature. 1．What is the right order of how the Northern Lights form?    a. The particles hit the air and create light.    b. The sun sends out small particles.    c. The particles are pulled to the poles by the magnetic field. A．a-b-c B．b-a-c C．c-b-a D．b-c-a 2．What is the most common color of the Northern Lights? A．Pink. B．Green. C．Yellow.

Xu climbed the tallest peak (山峰) in Africa on Jan 1. She even stood on top of Mount Qomolangma last May, making her the youngest Chinese girl to climb to the world’s highest peak from the southern slope. Xu’s journey began on a trip to Sichuan four years ago. Passing by Mount Siguniang in Sichuan, she felt drawn (吸引) to its beauty and climbed it. She fell in love with mountaineering right then and there. For the next few years, Xu did hard training. She climbed peaks over 5,000 meters in Yunnan and Sichuan every month. She also did daily exercises like running, swimming and rope skipping. All that hard work got her ready for the big challenges she would face on Kilimanjaro. Above 4,000 meters on Mount Kilimanjaro, the weather is similar to a desert, with big temperature differences. During her seven-day climb, Xu faced changeable weather such as rain and strong winds. Staying warm and avoiding heat loss were very important. Xu had to keep an eye on the temperature and change her clothes when the temperature changed. This climb was also a learning experience for Xu. She was climbing with Xia Boyu, the first Chinese climber to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma with a prosthetic (假肢的) leg.“Every time I felt like giving up, just seeing Xia was enough to encourage me.He was almost 74 years old, but was still pushing on although he had bloodied legs from his prosthesis,“ Xu said. Looking ahead, Xu has set great goals for herself. She plans to climb the highest peak on each of the seven continents (大陆) and visit the North and South Poles by the time she’s 18. 1．What made Xu fall in love with mountaineering? A．Her father’s love for mountaineering. B．A trip to Mount Siguniang in Sichuan. C．The first Chinese climber Xia’s story. D．Her interest in Mount Qomolangma. 2．What is the main challenge for Xu in climbing Kilimanjaro? A．The weather. B．An accident. C．Food problems. D．Thick clouds. 3．Which word can best describe Xu Zhuoyuan? A．Honest. B．Helpful. C．Brave. D．Shy. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Xia Boyu Tops Mount Qomolangma B．Highest Mountains Around the World C．Mountaineering Draws More Young Climbers D．A 17-year-old Girl Keeps Climbing the Highest Peaks There are many amazing wonders in the world that have attracted people from all over the globe (地球/世界) for centuries. Among them, the Great Wall of China is one of the most famous ones that show the wisdom of ancient Chinese people. It is the longest wall in the world, which stretches (延伸) more than 20,000 kilometers across northern China. Built over 2,000 years ago, it was used to protect the country from enemies (敌人) in the past. Now, it has become a symbol of China and attracts millions of visitors every year. Another great wonder is the Grand Canyon in the United States. It is one of the deepest canyons (峡谷) on Earth, with a depth of up to 1,800 meters. The canyon was formed (形成) by the Colorado River over millions of years. What makes it special is its colorful rocks and amazing views, which change with the time of day. Many tourists come here to hike and enjoy the natural beauty that few places can match. The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is also a world-famous wonder. It is the largest coral reef (珊瑚礁) system in the world, which is made up of millions of corals (珊瑚). The reef is home to thousands of kinds of sea animals, including colorful fish and turtles (海龟). However, it is facing danger because of pollution and climate change. We should try our best to protect this beautiful wonder that is important to our planet. These world wonders are not only beautiful but also meaningful. These amazing sites remind us of the power of nature and the wisdom of humans. Visiting them can help us learn more about different cultures and the world we live in. 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 1．What is the Great Wall of China mainly famous for?

It is often called China’s “mother river”, because it helped ancient Chinese civilizations develop thousands of years ago. For centuries, the river has been a key part of Chinese history and culture. Hukou Waterfall is one of the most famous sights on the Yellow River. It lies on the border of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, near Yan’an. The waterfall gets its name from its shape—it looks like a huge pot holding the rushing water. Every year, millions of visitors come to enjoy its powerful, beautiful view. Hukou Waterfall and the Yellow River have had a great influence on Yan’an for a long time. First, the river brings rich soil to the land around Yan’an, which helps local people grow crops. Second, the waterfall is an important tourist attraction. It brings in visitors, creates jobs for local people, and helps the local economy grow. Third, the Yellow River is a symbol of the Chinese spirit. In Yan’an, the river has become a part of people’s life and culture, reminding them of the hard-working spirit of the Chinese nation. Today, we still need to protect the Yellow River and Hukou Waterfall at all costs. We should keep the river clean and take good care of this great natural wonder. 1．How long is the Yellow River?

B．To protect the Yellow River and the waterfall. C．To learn more about Chinese history. D．To grow more crops along the river. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了黄河的长度、文化意义，以及壶口瀑布的地理位置和对延安地区的影响，最后呼吁保护黄河及壶口瀑布。 1．第一段指出：“with a length of about 5,464 kilometres”，说明黄河长约5464公里。 2．第一段指出：“because it helped ancient Chinese civilizations develop thousands of years ago”，说明黄河被称为母亲河是因为它孕育了古代中华文明。 3．第二段指出：“It lies on the border of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, near Yan’an.”，说明壶口瀑布位于山西和陕西交界处，靠近延安。 4．第三段列举了黄河对延安的影响：带来肥沃土壤“the river brings rich soil to the land around Yan’an”、促进旅游业“the waterfall is an important tourist attraction. It brings in visitors, creates jobs”、象征中国精神“a symbol of the Chinese spirit”，未提及“使土地过于干燥无法居住”。因此D项与文意不符。 5．最后一段指出：“we still need to protect the Yellow River and Hukou Waterfall”，说明作者呼吁保护黄河和壶口瀑布。 Natural wonders have always been a source of inspiration for humans. They have shaped our culture, inspired our art and taught us the power of nature. However, as human activities expand, the relationship between humans and natural wonders has become more complex. On one hand, natural wonders bring great economic benefits to local communities. Tourism related to natural wonders creates jobs, boosts local economy and improves people’s living standards. For example, Zhangjiajie in China and the Grand Canyon in the US have become important tourist destinations, lifting millions of people out of poverty. On the other hand, the rapid development of tourism has also brought serious problems. Too many visitors cause pollution, damage the ecosystem and threaten the survival of rare species. In addition, climate change caused by human activities is accelerating the degradation of natural wonders. Many glaciers are melting, coral reefs are dying, and deserts are expanding. To balance economic development and environmental protection, many countries have adopted sustainable tourism models. They limit the number of visitors, use eco-friendly transportation and build green facilities. They also educate visitors about environmental protection, encouraging them to leave no trace when visiting natural wonders. Scientists have also made great efforts to study and protect natural wonders. They use advanced technology to monitor the changes of natural wonders, predict potential risks and take measures to protect them. For example, scientists are working to restore the Great Barrier Reef by planting corals and reducing pollution. The protection of natural wonders is a long-term task that requires the joint efforts of governments, scientists, enterprises and individuals. Only by working together can we ensure that these amazing natural wonders will be enjoyed by future generations. 1．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．Natural wonders bring economic benefits to local communities B．Natural wonders are a source of inspiration for humans C．Tourism causes serious problems to natural wonders D．Sustainable tourism models are adopted to protect natural wonders 2．What problem is caused by too many visitors? A．Economic recession B．Pollution and ecosystem damage C．Climate change D．Glacial melting 3．What does the underlined word “sustainable” mean? A．可持续的 B．快速的 C．大规模的 D．传统的 4．Which of the following is NOT a measure to protect natural wonders? A．Limiting the number of visitors B．Using eco-friendly transportation C．Increasing the number of tourists D．Educating visitors about environmental protection 5．What is the writer’s attitude towards the protection of natural wonders? A．Pessimistic B．Optimistic C．Neutral D．Worried 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，围绕自然奇观展开，介绍了自然奇观给当地带来的经济效益、游客过多等人类活动带来的问题，以及各国采取的可持续旅游等保护措施，最后强调保护自然奇观需要多方共同努力。 1．根据第二段首句“On one hand, natural wonders bring great economic benefits to local communities.”及全段内容可知，第二段主要讲述了自然奇观给当地社区带来的经济效益。 2．根据第三段“Too many visitors cause pollution, damage the ecosystem and threaten the survival of rare species.”可知，过多的游客会造成污染、破坏生态系统。 3．根据后文“They limit the number of visitors, use eco-friendly transportation and build green facilities. They also educate visitors about environmental protection...”可知，sustainable tourism是兼顾经济发展与环境保护的旅游模式，因此sustainable的意思是“可持续的”。 4．根据第四段“They limit the number of visitors, use eco-friendly transportation and build green facilities. They also educate visitors about environmental protection...”可知，限制游客数量、使用环保交通、教育游客环保都是保护措施，增加游客数量不是保护措施。 5．根据最后一段“Only by working together can we ensure that these amazing natural wonders will be enjoyed by future generations.”可知，作者认为通过各方共同努力可以保护好自然奇观，因此作者的态度是乐观的。 Have you ever seen pictures of the Northern Lights? They are one of the most beautiful natural wonders on Earth. The scientific name for them is Aurora Borealis. The Northern Lights usually appear in the night sky near the North Pole (北极). They look like curtains of colorful light moving and dancing. The most common color is green, but you can also see pink, red, yellow, and blue. It’s like a huge light show put on by nature! Why does this happen? It starts with the sun. The sun is always sending out small particles (粒子). When these particles reach Earth, they meet our planet’s magnetic field (磁场). The magnetic field pulls them towards the North and South Poles. When the particles hit the air, they create energy, and this energy turns into beautiful light. Many people travel to countries like Iceland, Norway, and Canada to see the Northern Lights. The best time to watch them is in winter, when the nights are long and dark. You need a clear, cloudless sky. Sometimes you have to wait for hours in the cold, but when the lights finally appear, it is all worth it. It truly is a wonder of nature. 1．What is the right order of how the Northern Lights form?    a. The particles hit the air and create light.    b. The sun sends out small particles.    c. The particles are pulled to the poles by the magnetic field. A．a-b-c B．b-a-c C．c-b-a D．b-c-a 2．What is the most common color of the Northern Lights? A．Pink. B．Green. C．Yellow. D．Blue. 3．How does the writer support the main idea of paragraph 3? A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question. C．By explaining the reason. D．By giving an example. 4．In which part of a newspaper can you probably read the text? A．Sports News. B．Nature & Science. C．Story Time. D．Health & Life. 5．What can be the best title for the text? A．How to Travel to the North Pole B．The Moving and Dancing Curtains C．A Wonderful Light Show in the Sky D．The Sun and the Air 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文介绍了地球自然奇观 —— 北极光。文章描述了北极光的外观、常见颜色，详细解释了其形成原理，并介绍了观赏北极光的最佳地点和时间。 1．根据第三段“The sun is always sending out small particles...The magnetic field pulls them towards the North and South Poles.

Xu climbed the tallest peak (山峰) in Africa on Jan 1. She even stood on top of Mount Qomolangma last May, making her the youngest Chinese girl to climb to the world’s highest peak from the southern slope. Xu’s journey began on a trip to Sichuan four years ago. Passing by Mount Siguniang in Sichuan, she felt drawn (吸引) to its beauty and climbed it. She fell in love with mountaineering right then and there. For the next few years, Xu did hard training. She climbed peaks over 5,000 meters in Yunnan and Sichuan every month. She also did daily exercises like running, swimming and rope skipping. All that hard work got her ready for the big challenges she would face on Kilimanjaro. Above 4,000 meters on Mount Kilimanjaro, the weather is similar to a desert, with big temperature differences. During her seven-day climb, Xu faced changeable weather such as rain and strong winds. Staying warm and avoiding heat loss were very important. Xu had to keep an eye on the temperature and change her clothes when the temperature changed. This climb was also a learning experience for Xu. She was climbing with Xia Boyu, the first Chinese climber to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma with a prosthetic (假肢的) leg.“Every time I felt like giving up, just seeing Xia was enough to encourage me.He was almost 74 years old, but was still pushing on although he had bloodied legs from his prosthesis,“ Xu said. Looking ahead, Xu has set great goals for herself. She plans to climb the highest peak on each of the seven continents (大陆) and visit the North and South Poles by the time she’s 18. 1．What made Xu fall in love with mountaineering? A．Her father’s love for mountaineering. B．A trip to Mount Siguniang in Sichuan. C．The first Chinese climber Xia’s story. D．Her interest in Mount Qomolangma. 2．What is the main challenge for Xu in climbing Kilimanjaro? A．The weather. B．An accident. C．Food problems. D．Thick clouds. 3．Which word can best describe Xu Zhuoyuan? A．Honest. B．Helpful. C．Brave. D．Shy. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Xia Boyu Tops Mount Qomolangma B．Highest Mountains Around the World C．Mountaineering Draws More Young Climbers D．A 17-year-old Girl Keeps Climbing the Highest Peaks 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文介绍了17岁湖南登山者徐卓媛的登山经历，她攀登多座高峰并立志挑战七大洲最高峰与南北极。 1．根据第三段“Passing by Mount Siguniang in Sichuan, she felt drawn to its beauty and climbed it. She fell in love with mountaineering right then and there.”，说明四川四姑娘山之旅让徐卓媛爱上了登山。 2．根据第五段“During her seven-day climb, Xu faced changeable weather such as rain and strong winds.”，说明徐卓媛攀登乞力马扎罗山的主要挑战是多变的天气。 3．徐卓媛攀登非洲最高峰、珠穆朗玛峰等世界高峰的经历，可推断她是勇敢的。 4．文章围绕17岁女孩徐卓媛不断攀登世界最高峰的经历展开。对应D选项。 There are many amazing wonders in the world that have attracted people from all over the globe (地球/世界) for centuries.

Every year, over 10,000 square kilometers of forest are lost due to deforestation. People cut down trees to make space for farming, destroying the ecosystem and endangering countless species. The loss of the rainforest has serious consequences. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, so fewer trees mean more climate change. Additionally, animals like jaguars and macaws lose their homes, pushing them closer to extinction. To save the Amazon, we must take action. Governments should create stricter laws against illegal logging, and individuals can help by reducing paper use and supporting sustainable products. Remember: If the Amazon dies, our planet’s health will suffer too. 【总体分析】①题材：本文是一篇材料作文； ②时态：时态为“一般现在时”为主； ③提示：材料所给内容需完整表达，不得遗漏，可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 【写作步骤】第一步：开篇点题，介绍亚马逊雨林的重要性及消失的严峻现状。 第二步：用简单句并列说明雨林消失的原因（砍伐、农业），并包含“climate change”，“species extinction”两个核心内容。 第三步：提出“植树”；“减少用纸”；“加强法律”三条措施，以呼吁结尾，升华主题。 【亮点词汇】①climate change气候变化 ②at an alarming rate以惊人的速度 ③take action采取行动 【高分句型】①Every year, over 10,000 square kilometers of forest are lost due to deforestation.（运用数字增强说服力） ②Remember: If the Amazon dies, our planet’s health will suffer too.（运用了if引导的条件状语从句） 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
