Ⅱ. 阅读理解。 A[2026泰州月考] Two­thirds of all irrigated(灌溉的) agriculture in the world is likely to be affected in some way by declining glaciers(冰川) and dwindling snowfall in mountain regions, driven by the climate crisis, according to a UNESCO report. More than 1 billion people live in mountainous regions and, of those in developing countries, up to half are already experiencing food insecurity. That is likely to worsen, as food production in such regions is dependent on mountain waters, melting snow and glaciers, according to the World Water Development Report 2025. Developed countries are also at risk: in the US, for example, the Colorado River basin has been in drought since 2000, and higher temperatures mean more water falls as rain instead of snow. Rain runs off much faster than melting snow, making dry conditions even worse. The largest three­year loss of glacier mass on record occurred in the past three years, according to separate research from the World Meteorological Organization, with Norway and Sweden among the worst­affected areas. Eastern Africa has lost 80% of its glaciers in places. Glaciers in the Alps, the worst affected in Europe, have shrunk by about 40% over roughly the same period. The decline of glaciers has had a further impact, added Abou Amani, director of water sciences at UNESCO. “Glacier melting has an impact on the reflectivity of (solar) radiation and that will impact the whole climate system，” he warned. More avalanches(雪崩) will also occur, as rain falling on snow is a major factor behind avalanche formation. Pooling water from melting glaciers can also be released, causing sudden floods in valleys or to people living further down the side of the mountain. These impacts are coming at a time when many food sources are already under pressure. Alvaro Lario, president of the International Fund for Agricultural Development and chair of UN­Water, called for more support for people who live in affected mountain regions. “Water flows downhill, but food insecurity rises uphill. Mountains provide 60% of our freshwater, but the communities that safeguard these vital resources are among the most food insecure，” he said. (　　) 1. What does the underlined word “dwindling” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Increasing. B. Wasting. C. Decreasing. D. Changing. (　　) 2. What factors contributing to food insecurity are mentioned in the passage? A. Declining glaciers and more avalanches. B. Dry conditions and rain falling on snow. C. Climate impacts and lack of modern irrigation technology. D. Dependence on glacier­fed water and stressed food sources. (　　) 3. Why does the author list the figures in Paragraph 3? A. To predict future trends of glacier melting. B. To stress the severity of global glacier loss. C. To call for policy in the worst­affected regions. D. To list the decline of glaciers in different regions. (　　) 4. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Melting Glaciers, Rising Hunger B. Climate Change, Water Shortage C. Threats to Mountain Communities D. Flood Risks from Melting Glaciers B[2025石家庄摸底检测] As more and more species near extinction, scientists have been collecting samples from animals, plants and other creatures and storing them in biobanks across the globe. But climate change, environmental disasters and wars threaten these modern Noah's arks. Now, a team of researchers is brainstorming an out­of­this­world solution: building one of these vaults(保险库) on the moon. A biobank in a permanently shadowed region at the moon's south pole could be far more stable than those on Earth. This part of the moon usually remains around －196 degrees Celsius, perfect for storing most animal cells in the long term, marine biologist Mary Hagedorn and colleagues report in BioScience. Hagedorn and colleagues drew inspiration from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway which takes advantage of below­zero Arctic temperatures to preserve millions of seeds from around the world. In 2017, melting(融化) frozen soil threatened to flood the vault, highlighting the need for a backup plan. A different team has proposed building a lunar ark in lava(熔岩) tubes that run beneath the moon's surface. But that design requires a solar­powered cooling system; any loss of power and the samples would be destroyed. In the moon's forever­frozen shadowed regions, a lunar vault wouldn't need energy or constant human maintenance, Hagedorn's team says. Given the shadowy south pole's low temperatures, Hagedorn says, a vault there could store “one of the most powerful cells that we have today”—fibroblasts. Scientists can transform these animal cells into stem cells, “and then those stem cells can be used for cloning，” she says. The cells could be valuable for regenerating populations of threatened or extinct species and for building ecosystems in future human settlements on the moon or Mars. The proposal has its share of barriers. For instance, the moon's permanently dark regions aren't free from temperature swings, says lunar scientist Benjamin Greenhagen of Johns Hopkins University. “They are still cold but perhaps not always cold enough for this project without some level of temperature management.” (　　) 5. Why is the moon an ideal place for the biobank? A. It's not affected by wars. B. It's not environmentally polluted. C. It has proper temperatures. D. It has rich resources for research. (　　) 6. What led to Hagedorn's proposal of a lunar biobank? A. The solar­powered cooling system. B. The lava tubes on the moon's surface. C. The problem facing the Norway Vault. D. The discovery of ice on the lunar pole. (　　) 7. What can scientists use fibroblasts to do? A. Form stem cells for cloning. B. Explore moon soil conditions. C. Help land humans on the moon. D. Improve the eco­system of the earth. (　　) 8. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Lunar Exploration: The Next Frontier for Cloning B. Relieving Climate Change: The Moon Biobank Project C. The Moon as a Backup: A New Solution for Seed Storage D. Building Biobanks on the Moon: A Proposal to Save Biodiversity Ⅲ. 七选五。[2025金华一模] The average American generates five pounds of trash per day, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Some of it gets recycled but most of it ends up in landfills. __1__ Do a trash examination. Check what you're throwing away by writing a list of the trash you produce. __2__ You might write “used wipes and paper towels” under “nursery” or “food waste and metal cans” under “cooking”. This will help you grasp the extent of the trash you create and find ways to cut it. Save what you can. See if there's anything you can save before throwing it in the trash. Maybe you can mend an old pair of jeans instead of buying a new pair. Or maybe you can cut up old T­shirts into rags. __3__ If you have a bunch of overripe bananas, put them in the freezer to make banana bread later. Rely less on pre­packaged foods. Often, food comes in wasteful packaging. Usually, some drinks come in plastic containers that may not be easy to recycle. So source your food in ways that don't require you to get it from a package. __4__ Instead of buying oat milk in a non­recyclable container, make it at home and store it in a jar, removing the packaging waste. __5__ Once you start noticing how much trash you produce at home, you'll start to cut down on trash elsewhere. Bring your own reusable fork to a restaurant that uses single­use plastic tools. Or ask the waiter in a coffee bar to fill up your coffee mug instead of a paper cup. A. Cut down on rubbish in your daily life. B. That means making some of your own food. C. Look for ways to cut waste outside the home. D. Organize your list by the rooms in your house or by activity. E. Besides, think about how you can creatively save your leftovers. F. By doing so you can make the rooms in your house clean and tidy. G. Fortunately, you can live a low­waste lifestyle by redesigning your behavior. 1.__________ 2.__________ 3.__________ 4.__________ 5.__________ Ⅳ. 写作。 假定你是校英文报的编辑，请你根据所给提示，用英语写一篇介绍台风(typhoon)的短文，向同学们普及相关知识。 内容包括： 1. 台风主要袭击我国东南部； 2. 台风会带来强风、暴雨，破坏树木、房屋及街道； 3. 人们通常在台风来临之前移居至安全地带避免损害。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ⅰ. 1. altered　2. estimated　3. evidence 4. typical　5. equator　6. upcoming 7. particular　8. atmosphere Ⅱ. 1—5 CDBAC　6—8 CAD Ⅲ. 1—5 GDEBC Ⅳ. One possible version: Commonly known as one of the worst natural disasters, a typhoon frequently strikes the southeastern part of China and causes terrible suffering to people there. When a typhoon lands, there will be wild winds accompanied by pouring rain. Meanwhile, many tall trees will be blown down and plenty of houses as well as streets will be swept away by floodwaters, which will cause serious damage to the traffic. As the typhoon approaches the land, people will move out of their homes and settle in safe places in advance to avoid suffering from loss of life and possessions. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
