【答案】B
【详解】句意:——刘老师对她的运动员很严格。她从不让他们吃太多油或糖的食物。——哇!和他们相比,我太幸运了。我的父母对我的饮食不严格。
考查介词辨析。with和……,常用于be strict with sb.结构,表示“对某人要求严格”;in在……方面,常用于be strict in sth.结构,表示“对某事要求严格”;on在……上。根据“her athletes”可知,此处指对运动员们(人)要求严格,应使用with;根据“my diet”可知,此处指在饮食(事)方面要求严格,应使用in。故选B。

【详解】句意:——亲爱的,在水果用完之前,去买点水果吧。——好的。我马上去超市。
考查时态,run out“用完;耗尽”,常用主动语态,排除BD。根据“please get some fruit before it…”,可知这句话的时态为一般现在时,故选A。

A.on duty B.at least C.at last D.across from
【答案】B

考查介词短语。on duty值班;at least至少;at last最后;across from在……对面。根据“The task is difficult, but...we have enough time to finish it.”可知,此处是转折关系,表示“虽然任务很难,但至少我们有足够的时间完成它”。故选B。

—I think so, or his life may be in danger.
A.operate; drives B.operate on; is driven
C.be operated; drives D.be operated on; is driven
【答案】D
【详解】句意:——这个病人一到医院就动手术吗?——我想是的,否则他可能有生命危险。
考查一般将来时与一般现在时的被动语态。根据“Will the patient … as soon as he … to hospital?”可知,此句包含as soon as引导的条件状语从句,遵循“主将从现”,即主句用一般将来时,从句用一般现在时,第一个空处主句主语“the patient”是动作的承受者,因此应用一般将来时的被动语态,构成为will be done;第二个空处he为从句主语,是动作的承受者,因此应用一般现在时的被动语态,构成为am/ is/ are done,主语he为第三人称单数,因此用is。故选D。

A.situation B.invention C.direction D.tradition
【答案】A
【详解】句意:通过互联网,人们可以更多地了解海狮的最新情况。但过多的关注可能会导致生态焦虑。
考查名词辨析。situation情况、状况;invention发明;direction方向;tradition传统。根据“Through the Internet, people can learn more about recent...of the sea lions. But too much attention may lead to eco-anxiety.”可知,人们通过互联网了解的应该是海狮近期的“状况”。故选A。

C.will be made; are planted D.is made; will be planted
【答案】C
【详解】句意:—— 你考虑过我们社区吗?—— 是的。我认为如果种更多的树,环境将会变得更美丽。
考查if条件句的时态和被动语态。will make一般将来时;will be made一般将来时的被动语态;is made一般现在时的被动语态;are planted一般现在时的被动语态;will be planted一般将来时的被动语态。根据“the environment...more beautiful if more...trees...”可知本句是if引导的条件状语从句,主句应用一般将来时,从句用一般现在时。第一空主语是“the environment”,与动词“make(使变得)”之间是被动关系,应用“will be made”表示将来被动;第二空“trees”与“plant(种植)”也是被动关系,用一般现在时的被动语态“are planted”表示将来。故选C。
8.—This cafe put up a colourful poster to show its new drink.
— I saw it yesterday. Tea waterfall ________ delicious and ________ well now.
A.is tasted; sells B.is tasted; is sold C.tastes; sells D.tastes; is sold
【答案】C
【详解】句意:——这家咖啡馆贴了一张彩色海报来展示它的新饮品。——我昨天看到了。茶瀑布尝起来很美味,现在卖得很好。
考查系动词和不及物动词的用法。is tasted被品尝;sells销售 ;is tasted被品尝;is sold被销售; tastes尝起来;sells销售;tastes尝起来;is sold被销售。第一空,taste在此为系动词,表示“尝起来”,后接形容词delicious,用主动形式表被动含义,不用于被动语态;第二空,sell表示“销售状况”时,为不及物动词,用主动形式表被动含义,如sell well卖得好,同样不用被动语态。故选C。
9.— Believe it or not. Chinese scientists have ________ raised four zebrafish on the space station.

C.successful; succeed D.successfully; succeed

【详解】句意:——信不信由你,中国科学家已经在空间站成功地养了四条斑马鱼。——真的吗?对我来说,养一条金鱼都很难成功。
考查词汇辨析。successful成功的,形容词;successfully成功地,副词;success成功,名词;succeed成功,动词。根据句子结构,第一个空修饰动词“raised”,需用副词successfully;第二个空前有“to”,构成不定式to do,需用动词原形succeed,且succeed in doing sth.为固定搭配,意为“成功做成某事”。故选D。
10.—The new project manager ________ by all the department members next week.
—Great. I will choose Wilson. He has powerful ________ ability.
A.will vote; manage B.will be voted; management
C.will vote; management D.will be voted; manage
【答案】B
【详解】句意:——新项目经理下周将被所有部门成员投票选出。——太好了。我会选威尔逊。他有强大的管理能力。
考查动词时态语态和词性辨析。will vote将会投票,一般将来时的主动语态,manage管理,动词;will be voted将会被投票,一般将来时的被动语态,management管理,名词。根据“The new project manager…by all the department members next week.”可知,第一空主语The new project manager与动词vote之间是被动关系:“被投票选出”,且时间状语next week表示将来,需用一般将来时的被动语态,排除AC选项;根据“He has powerful…ability.”可知,第二空需用名词作定语修饰“ability”,表示“管理能力”,应用名词management。故选B。
11.—Do you know the ________ of the dirty rivers ?
—Sure. A steel factory ________ unclean fuels and poured waste into rivers.
A.reason; is used to burning B.reason; used to pour
C.cause; used to burn D.cause; is used to burning
【答案】C
【详解】句意:——你知道这些脏河的起因吗?——当然知道。一家钢铁厂过去常常燃烧不清洁的燃料并把废物倒入河里。
考查名词辨析和动词短语辨析。reason原因,强调解释某事发生的逻辑或合理性;cause原因,侧重于指导致某事发生的直接因素或根源。根据语境可知,此处是在询问脏河的起因,更侧重于直接因素,所以第一个空应该用cause。is used to doing sth.习惯于做某事;used to do sth.过去常常做某事。根据语境可知,此处是在描述钢铁厂过去的行为,即过去常常燃烧不清洁的燃料并把废物倒入河里,所以第二个空应该用used to do sth.这个结构。故选C。
12.—Solar power ________ widely in our lives in the future.
—That’s for sure! This type of energy produces little pollution and will never ________.
A.will use; run out B.is used; be run out of
C.will be used; be run out D.will be used; run out
【答案】D
【详解】句意:——在未来,太阳能在我们的生活中将被广泛使用。——那是肯定的!这种能源产生的污染很少,而且永远不会耗尽。
考查一般将来时的被动语态和动词短语。根据“in the future”可知,第一空所在句用一般将来时,主语“Solar power”和动词“use”之间是被动关系,所以第一空用一般将来时的被动语态will be used;run out“耗尽”,是不及物动词短语,没有被动语态,所以第二空用主动形式run out。故选D。
13.When the sun ________ in the morning, our national flag ________ in Tian’anmen Square.
A.is raised; will be raised B.rises; will be risen
C.rises; will be raised D.is raised; will rise
【答案】C
【详解】句意:当早晨太阳升起的时候,我们的国旗将在天安门广场升起。
考查时间状语从句和语态。is raised被升起,一般现在时;will be raised将被升起,一般将来时;rises升起,不及物动词,一般现在时;will be risen错误表达;will rise将升起,一般将来时。本句是由when引导的时间状语从句,从句要用一般现在时,sun和rise之间是主动关系,所以第一空要填三单形式rises;第二空所在句为主句,用一般将来时,而our national flag和raise构成被动关系,所以第二空要用一般将来时的被动语态。故选C。
14.—Would you mind helping me with the bag?
—________. Anything else I can carry for you?
A.Not at all B.Of course C.My pleasure D.Never mind
【答案】A
【详解】句意:——你介意帮我搬一下这个包吗?——一点儿也不介意。我还能帮你搬什么?
考查情景交际。Not at all一点儿也不;Of course当然;My pleasure我的荣幸,用于帮助别人做事之后,别人表示感谢时;Never mind没关系。根据“Anything else I can carry for you ?”可知,应是一点儿也不介意帮忙,故选A。
15.What does the notice on the right tell us?

二、完形填空(15分)
Do you often use plastic straws (吸管) ? You probably use them to 16 lots of things, such as soybean milk (豆浆) , cola or milk tea. Plastic straws are small 17 they are a big problem. They are made in 10 minutes, used in 20 18 and normally remain on the earth for over 100 years since they cannot be 19 easily.
But how do plastic straws get into the 20 ? Because of human mistakes, they are often thrown away, left on beaches, or blown out of bins. The waste management (管理) in some areas are so poor and remember, all gutters (排水沟) lead to our ocean. 21 , plastic straws kill ocean life. Once a 22 was found bleeding because a 12-centimeter-long plastic straw was pushed into 23 nose. How terrible!
In fact, around 500 million plastic straws are used every day in the US alone. That is enough to circle 24 two-and-a-half times around our planet! If we don’t take action now, there will be 25 plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050.
Luckily, more and more people around the world have realized this problem. They begin to think about 26 plastic straws are necessary or not when drinking drinks.
So what can we do right now to reduce plastic pollution? The simplest way is to say “ 27 ” to single-use plastic, like straws. For example, next time if you go to a restaurant, make sure you order your drink without a straw. What if people need to use a straw? There are reusable (可再用的) straws instead. These straws can be used, 28 , and reused over and over again.
Coffee house chain Starbucks (星巴克) has started to 29 lids (盖子) without straws and paper straws instead of plastic straws in almost 1000 stores in Shanghai and Shenzhen. Starbucks is not alone. McDonald’s has 30 taken action to reduce the use of plastic straws. It is hoped that more businesses and customers will work together to protect our environment.

Project in Singapore
The fantastic man-made “forest” is a Singapore landmark. It is made from steel and concrete (水泥) covered in local flowers and plants. At night, 18 solar-powered tree-like towers which get their energy from the sun often light up the city. The project was awarded “the World Building of the Year” and its designer said the idea was to create “a city in a garden”. Clearly, the special way of building up the forest makes a difference to lifting the public’s awareness about environment.
Project in Milan
By decorating the buildings from top to bottom with more than 20,000 trees and plants, Italian architect Stefano Boeri said he’d wanted to make trees part of the buildings and create something that could help to reduce pollution. These buildings lie in the center of the city, Milan. Which types of trees are planted and where the trees are planted depend on the trees’ likes for sunlight. There is no doubt that this award-winning project is a great work.
Project in Medellin
Medellin has won high praise for its green corridors(长廊). This project helps the city which used to be poor and dirty get a new look. Now the 30 corridors full of trees and flowers connect green spaces such as parks and gardens in Medellin. The green corridors have reduced the temperature by two degrees and helped make the air clean. Bees and birds have returned. To make the beauty of the city remain, more gardening jobs have been created. Because of this, people there live more actively. It’s one of the best examples driven by government which improves the environment.
31.What does the underlined word “this” refer to (指代)?
A.The air becoming clean. B.Bees and birds returning.
C.The temperature dropping. D.Gardening jobs increasing.

Lessons from China on increasing forest cover
Forests are the provider of many necessary products and play a key role in providing clean air,preventing climate change and conserving biodiversity. As deforestation and forest degradation continue across much of Asia—Pacific, a paper by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) shows how China has “seen a phenomenal transformation of forests in the last thirty years”.
China has taken active steps in increasing its forest cover. In the past thirty years, China has successfully stopped the loss of forests and even managed to reverse the trend. Such “forest transformation” is also evident in other countries within the region such as India, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam.
However, China’s efforts are worthy of mention. It has increased its forest cover from about 157 million hectares in 1990 to about 220 million hectares in 2020. Reforestation there has been the highest among the 236 countries and regions covered by FAO’s paper.
The increase in China’s forest cover arises from two factors—planted forest areas and naturally regenerated forests. Between 1990 and 2020, planted forests increased by over 40 million hectares, while naturally regenerated forests increased by 22 million hectares.
Lots of tree-planting programs have ensured the growth of trees in China. Under China’s Grain for Green program starting in 1999, China has successfully transformed 33.5 million hectares of croplands into tree or grass cover.
China has also invested heavily in research and development in science and technology. This has had direct and indirect impact on the forest industry. China started a three-stage forest development strategy in 2010, focusing on using digital technology to monitor, revive and develop forest areas.
And China has also made a great effort to improve the forest ecosystem and its resilience to climate change. China has achieved this by increasing public awareness, building national parks and running various reforestation programs.
According to Jong Jin Kim, Assistant Director—General and FAO Regional Representative for Asia and the Pacific, “such a transformation is a result of several factors, including the rise of China as an industrial economy, clear and consistent policies, investment in key forestry programs, and the development of science and technology.”
34.What does “forest transformation” refer to in paragraph 2?
A.China has taken active steps in increasing its croplands.
B.It is evident in other countries such as India, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam.
C.China has invested heavily in research and development in science and technology.
D.China has successfully stopped the loss of forests and even managed to change the trend completely in the past thirty years.
35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.China has improved the forest ecosystem only by increasing public awareness.
B.China has successfully transformed about 35 million hectares of tree or grass cover into croplands.
C.The increase in China’s forest cover includes the increase in planted forest areas and naturally regenerated forests.
D.The three-stage forest development strategy in 2010 focused on making use of digital technology to develop croplands.
36.Which of the following is NOT the reason for the “forest transformation”?
A.Lots of tree-planting programs.
B.The rise of China as an agricultural country.
C.Great investment in research and development in science and technology.
D.Great efforts to improve the ecosystem of the forest and its resilience to climate change.
【答案】34.D 35.C 36.B
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国增加森林覆盖的经验教训。
34.词义猜测题。根据“In the past thirty years, China has successfully stopped the loss of forests and even managed to reverse the trend”可知,在过去的三十年里,中国已经成功地阻止了森林的流失,甚至设法彻底改变了这一趋势,这就是“forest transformation”,故选D。
35.细节理解题。根据“The increase in China’s forest cover arises from two factors — planted forest areas and naturally regenerated forests.”可知,中国森林覆盖面积的增加包括人工林面积和自然更新林面积的增加,故选C。
36.细节理解题。根据“such a transformation is a result of several factors, including the rise of China as an industrial economy, clear and consistent policies, investment in key forestry programs, and the development of science and technology.”可知,这种转变是几个因素的结果,包括中国作为工业经济体的崛起、明确一致的政策、对关键林业项目的投资以及科学技术的发展。中国作为一个农业大国的崛起不是“森林转型”的原因,故选B。
C
My friend Julie and I are crazy about creating (创建) a beautiful green town.
Gardening Course
Every September, our city has a special festival. Crowds of happy people go to the park. That’s because the gardening competition takes place there.
For Julie and me, it was a pity that we couldn’t take part in the gardening competition, for that was also the first day of our high school. We were busy choosing courses. We wanted to learn all about plants, gardening and farming. We thought it would help us succeed as gardeners.
Project presentation
After a year’s study, I decided to give a talk to my class about my project—the green farm.
“Good morning!” I said, “During my studies, I’ve learned a lot about city farming. Now, I want to do something with what I’ve learned.”
I showed them a small plastic model. “This is the high street of our town. This is an old, nine-floor car park. No one has used it for the last two years and it’s now for sale.”
“I’ve designed a city farm using the car park building. There will be eight floors to farm fruit and vegetables. This design can help us collect rainwater to wet the soil. And we can also use energy from the sun to power the special growing lights.”
“I will hire (租) the space out to local people and they will sell everything good enough for the environment in local shops. Also, the ninth floor will be for those who want to grow their own plants.”
My audience looked interested and my project got the highest marks in my class.
Later, Julie helped me search the town for the perfect place for gardening—somewhere that was not the best neighbourhood, but a poor one. One where the road was full of holes and the pavement (人行道) was all broken came into our eyes. At last, we made it.
In the neighbourhood, we posted letters through people’s doors with gardening instructions. More and more people cared about that and began to plant vegetable gardens.
Then in the same neighbourhood, we put grass over those broken old pavements for the kids to play on. Finally, we put up a sign that said, “Have fun here.”
When we finished, we were both covered in soil and completely tired. But Julie put an arm around my shoulders and smiled. “Not bad!” she said. “We can do more to make our town greener!”

e. Old pavements were covered with grass for kids to play on.
A.d-a-b-e-c B.d-b-a-c-e C.a-b-c-e-d D.a-d-b-c-e
40.According to the underlined sentence in the last paragraph, Julie and the writer may ________.
A.find more open spaces to plant grass and vegetables
B.hire out their green farms for parking and camping
C.sell their grass and vegetables to the neighbourhood

D
When you are shopping for the week’s food, you may get a large box or two of bottled water. On your way to a soccer game, it’s easy to take a cold one out of the fridge, right?
But all those plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels (矿物燃料). In fact, Americans buy more bottled water than any other country in the world, about 29 billion water bottles a year. In order to make all these bottles, 17 million, barrels (桶) of crude oil are used. That’s enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months.
People love the convenience (便利) of bottled water. But maybe if they realized the problems it causes, they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a steel container instead of a plastic bottle.
Plastic bottles pollute the environment but recycling can help-instead of going out with the-rubbish, plastic bottles can be turned into useful items. Sadly, for every six water bottles we use, only one makes it to the recycling bin. The rest are sent to landfills. Or, even worse, they end up as rubbish on the land and in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Plastic bottles take many hundreds of years to disintegrate under the ground.
Betty Melaughlin, who runs an organization called the Container Recycling Institute, says we should try using fewer bottles, “If you take one to school for your lunch, don’t throw it away-bring it home and refill it from the tap for the next day. Refill a bottle as many times as you can before you recycle it.”
Remember this: Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt (瓦) light bulb for six hours.
41.Which one is the reason why Americans like bottled water according to the passage?
A.Because it is cleaner. B.Because it is cheaper.
C.Because it is healthier. D.Because it is easier to take with.
42.In Paragraph 2, how does the writer support the fact?
A.By giving numbers. B.By telling reasons.
C.By expressing opinions. D.By discussing problems.
43.The word “disintegrate” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A.turn into rubbish B.become useful
C.break into pieces D.mix with water
44.Which of the following is an opinion?
A.Americans buy the most bottled water in the world.
B.Bottled water is much better than that out of the tap.
C.Only one of the six bottles is put into the recycling bin.
D.17 million barrels of oil are used to make bottles a year.
45.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this article?
A.To tell us to give up bottled water. B.To tell us to save natural resources.
C.To tell us to protect the environment. D.To tell us to reuse and recycle plastic bottles.
【答案】41.D 42.A 43.C 44.B 45.D
【分析】本文是说明文,以美国为例介绍了瓶装水的使用现状、便利性和产生的问题,告诉我们要回收利用塑料瓶。
41.推理判断题。根据第三段“People love the convenience (便利) of bottled water.”可知,是因为瓶装水很方便,故选D。
42.推理判断题。根据第二段“In fact, Americans buy more bottled water than any other country in the world, about 29 billion water bottles a year. In order to make all these bottles, 17 million, barrels (桶) of crude oil are used. That’s enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months.”可知,列了四个数字,故选A。
43.词句猜测题。根据“Or, even worse, they end up as rubbish on the land and in rivers, lakes, and the ocean.”可知,是需要数百年才能分解掉;break into pieces“分解”符合语境,故选C。
44.推理判断题。根据第三段“People love the convenience of bottled water”,结合倒数第二段“If you take one to school for your lunch, don’t throw it away-bring it home and refill it from the tap for the next day”可知,Bottled water is much better than that out of the tap“瓶装水比自来水好得多”表明了个人看法,而ACD三项陈述事实不合题意,故选B。
45.主旨大意题。根据最后“Remember this: Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt (瓦) light bulb for six hours.”可知,文章告诉我们要重复利用和回收塑料瓶,故选D。

六、任务型阅读(10分)
阅读下面的短文,并根据所读内容,在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。(注意:每个空格只填入一个单词)
Nowadays, OpenAI company’s ChatGPT, Dall-E and Sora have been a hot topic all around the world. But perhaps most of us have never thought about what it takes to run such intelligent (智能的) products. One thing this technology depends on may get you surprised—plenty of water!
Why does a computer programme need so much water? In fact, in order to have the ability to write like a human, an AI system must first study a large amount (数量) of text written by humans. In the process, it not only uses much electricity but also produces much heat. So, on hot days, computer engineers use water to keep the computers cool.
Microsoft has worked with OpenAI for years. In a recent report, Microsoft shared how much water was used from 2021 to 2022. The total amount of water used in cooling machines is enough to fill more than 2,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools. It is believed the training of AI systems leads to the big rise.
Usually, AI supercomputing centres lie in places that are cool for most of the year. These centres can just use outside air to cool the computers. But in summer, the temperature goes to 30℃. The computer engineers have to use a large amount of water to cool all the machines.
ChatGPT also “drinks” water while chatting. Scientists have worked out the environmental costs of using AI products. For a conversation of 20 to 50 questions and answers, ChatGPT uses up a bottle of water, about 500 ml. The exact amount of water used in chatting changes with the seasons.
Many people are unaware of the problem. If you don’t know how many resources ChatGPT uses, how can you help to save water? The next time you are amazed at how smart ChatGPT is, think about how much water it’s “drinking”. Why not reduce the time of talking to machines—to help save the Earth’s water resources?
Around the world, intelligent products are discussed heatedly. However, the fact that much water is used in running them may 61 many people.
The 62 for using much water
When an AI has the ability of 63 like a man, it needs electricity and produces heat. As a result, water is used to keep the computers 64 .
A recent report by Microsoft
From 2021 to 2022, the amount of the water used in cooling machines kept 65 . The training of the AI systems is the cause of it.
The analysis (分析)
The amount of used water is
◇ connected with 66 where AI supercomputing centres are built.
◇ affected by the high 67 in these places.
◇ not the 68 all year round and changes with the seasons.
Advice
◇ Consider it as a 69 .
◇ Save the Earth’s water resources by having more 70 with humans.
【答案】
61.surprise 62.reasons 63.writing 64.cool 65.rising/increasing 66.places 67.temperature 68.same 69.problem 70.talk/talks/communication
【导语】本文主要围绕智能产品运行需大量用水这一鲜为人知的事实展开。先以当下热门的智能产品引出话题,接着阐述人工智能系统运行需用水的原因,通过微软报告说明用水量的上升情况,分析用水量与超级计算中心位置、当地温度以及季节的关系,最后指出很多人未意识到该问题并给出节约水资源的建议。
61.第一段提到“One thing this technology depends on may get you surprised—plenty of water!”,题干中“may”后接动词原形,将“get you surprised”转换为“surprise many people”,所以第一空应填“surprise”。
62.第二段开头以“Why”提问,引出后面关于使用大量水的原因阐述,且表格中此空后“for using much water”表明这里要填表示“原因”的词,所以第二空应填“reasons”。
63.第二段中“In fact, in order to have the ability to write like a human, an AI system must first study a large amount (数量) of text written by humans.”表明当人工智能有像人一样写作的能力时,需要用电并产生热量,所以第三空应填“writing”。
64.第二段中“So, on hot days, computer engineers use water to keep the computers cool.”说明水是用来让电脑保持凉爽的,“keep...+形容词”表示“使……保持……状态”,所以第四空应填“cool”。
65.第三段中“It is believed the training of AI systems leads to the big rise.”以及“The total amount of water used in cooling machines is enough to fill more than 2,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools.”表明从2021年到2022年,冷却机器使用的水量一直在上升,“keep doing sth.”表示“持续做某事”,所以第五空应填“rising/increasing”。
66.第四段中“Usually, AI supercomputing centres lie in places that are cool for most of the year.”说明使用的水量与人工智能超级计算中心建立的地方有关,所以第六空应填“places”。
67.第四段中“But in summer, the temperature goes to 30℃. The computer engineers have to use a large amount of water to cool all the machines.”表明这些地方的高温影响了用水量,所以第七空应填“temperature”。
68.第五段中“The exact amount of water used in chatting changes with the seasons.”说明聊天使用的确切水量随季节变化,不是全年都一样,“not the same”表示“不一样”,所以第八空应填“same”。
69.第六段中“Many people are unaware of the problem.”以及“The next time you are amazed at how smart ChatGPT is, think about how much water it’s ‘drinking’.”表明要把它当作一个问题来考虑,所以第九空应填“problem”。
70.第六段中“Why not reduce the time of talking to machines—to help save the Earth’s water resources?”表明要通过与人类多交流来节约地球的水资源,“have more+名词”表示“有更多的……”,所以第十空应填“talk(s)/communication”。
七、短文填空(10分)
阅读短文,根据所给的首字母提示,写出一个合适的单词,使短文通顺。
Recently the term “carbon neutral (碳中和)” has been a public topic. Being carbon neutral means cutting d 71 carbon emissions (碳排放) to zero or balancing (均衡) them out by taking some carbon out of the atmosphere (大气层). Carbon emissions make the climate (气候) change for the w 72 and the temperatures rise. They are caused by all kinds of human activities. Burning fossil fuels (化工燃料) like coal, oil and gas to p 73 energy is a main source of carbon emissions.
China has promised to be carbon-neutral by 2060. To achieve this goal (目标), we will face many challenges (挑战). However, many hands make light work. We students can also make contributions (贡献) to helping r 74 this goal. Here’re some suggestions:
Travel in a green way
Since driving cars has caused serious air problems, we’d better do more walking or cycling instead of driving. By doing so, we can save energy and reduce air p 75 .
Save water
Lack (缺乏) of water resources will be h 76 to the ecological (生态的) environment. So please turn off the tap after using it.
Plant more trees
A good way of balancing out the carbon emissions is to plant trees b 77 trees can take in CO2 as they grow.
Reduce food waste
Schools can encourage students to save food by comparing (对比) how much food is not eaten by students after each meal. They can w 78 the leftovers (剩余饭菜) by putting them on the scale (秤). Also, they can put the leftovers into a machine that can t 79 the waste into useful things. For example, some waste can be put in the garden to help plants grow.
Let’s join together to see how small changes can make a big d 80 .
【答案】
71.(d)own 72.(w)orse 73.(p)roduce 74.(r)ealize/(r)ealise 75.(p)ollution 76.(h)armful 77.(b)ecause 78.(w)eigh 79.(t)urn 80.(d)ifference
【导语】本文是一些关于“如何保护环境,过低碳生活”的一些建议。
71.句意:碳中和意味着将碳排放减少到零,或者通过从大气中吸收一些碳来平衡碳排放。cut down“减少”,固定短语。故填(d)own。
72.句意:碳排放使气候变化恶化,气温上升。根据“the temperatures rise”可知碳排放使得气候变得更糟;结合首字母提示可知,应填worse“更糟”。故填(w)orse。
73.句意:燃烧煤炭、石油和天然气等化石燃料生产能源是碳排放的主要来源。根据“Burning fossil fuels (化工燃料) like coal, oil and gas”可知燃烧像煤炭、石油和天然气这样的化工燃料会产生能量;produce“产生”,动词;to后接动词原形。故填(p)roduce。
74.句意:我们学生也可以为实现这一目标做出贡献。根据“this goal”及首字母可知此处指实现这一目标;realize/realise“实现”,动词;help do sth.“帮助做某事”。故填(r)ealize/(r)ealise。
75.句意:通过这样做,我们可以节约能源,减少空气污染。根据“we’d better do more walking or cycling instead of driving.”可知步行或骑行代替开车,这会减少空气污染;air pollution“空气污染”。故填(p)ollution。
76.句意:水资源的缺乏将会危害生态环境。根据“Lack (缺乏) of water resources”可知缺乏水资源将会危害生态系统;结合首字母提示可知,harmful“有害的”;be harmful to“对……有害”。故填(h)armful。
77.句意:平衡碳排放的一个好方法是种树,因为树木在生长过程中可以吸收二氧化碳。根据“A good way of balancing out the carbon emissions is to plant trees ... trees can take in CO2 as they grow.”可知前后句为因果关系;由首字母提示可知,应填because“因为”。故填(b)ecause。
78.句意:他们可以把剩菜放在秤上称重量。根据“putting them on the scale (秤)”可知是给剩余饭菜称重;weigh“称,称……的重量”,动词,情态动词can后接动词原形。故填(w)eigh。

【答案】例文
Dear all,
The theme of China’s World Environment Day 2025 is “Beautiful China, My action”. Protecting our environment is everyone’s responsibility because a healthy planet means cleaner air, safer water, and a brighter future for all living things. Pollution not only harms nature but also affects our health, so we must take action now.
There are many ways to help in daily life. We can save energy by turning off lights and electronics when not in use. We should reduce waste by recycling paper, plastic, and metal, and by using reusable bags instead of plastic ones. Planting trees or choosing to walk or bike instead of driving can also make a big difference.
I believe that if everyone does their part, we can create a greener world. Let’s start today and work together to make China more beautiful!

Do you often use plastic straws (吸管) ? You probably use them to 16 lots of things, such as soybean milk (豆浆) , cola or milk tea. Plastic straws are small 17 they are a big problem. They are made in 10 minutes, used in 20 18 and normally remain on the earth for over 100 years since they cannot be 19 easily.
But how do plastic straws get into the 20 ? Because of human mistakes, they are often thrown away, left on beaches, or blown out of bins. The waste management (管理) in some areas are so poor and remember, all gutters (排水沟) lead to our ocean. 21 , plastic straws kill ocean life. Once a 22 was found bleeding because a 12-centimeter-long plastic straw was pushed into 23 nose. How terrible!
In fact, around 500 million plastic straws are used every day in the US alone. That is enough to circle 24 two-and-a-half times around our planet! If we don’t take action now, there will be 25 plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050.
Luckily, more and more people around the world have realized this problem. They begin to think about 26 plastic straws are necessary or not when drinking drinks.
So what can we do right now to reduce plastic pollution? The simplest way is to say “ 27 ” to single-use plastic, like straws. For example, next time if you go to a restaurant, make sure you order your drink without a straw. What if people need to use a straw? There are reusable (可再用的) straws instead. These straws can be used, 28 , and reused over and over again.
Coffee house chain Starbucks (星巴克) has started to 29 lids (盖子) without straws and paper straws instead of plastic straws in almost 1000 stores in Shanghai and Shenzhen. Starbucks is not alone. McDonald’s has 30 taken action to reduce the use of plastic straws. It is hoped that more businesses and customers will work together to protect our environment.

Project in Singapore
The fantastic man-made “forest” is a Singapore landmark. It is made from steel and concrete (水泥) covered in local flowers and plants. At night, 18 solar-powered tree-like towers which get their energy from the sun often light up the city. The project was awarded “the World Building of the Year” and its designer said the idea was to create “a city in a garden”. Clearly, the special way of building up the forest makes a difference to lifting the public’s awareness about environment.
Project in Milan
By decorating the buildings from top to bottom with more than 20,000 trees and plants, Italian architect Stefano Boeri said he’d wanted to make trees part of the buildings and create something that could help to reduce pollution. These buildings lie in the center of the city, Milan. Which types of trees are planted and where the trees are planted depend on the trees’ likes for sunlight. There is no doubt that this award-winning project is a great work.
Project in Medellin
Medellin has won high praise for its green corridors(长廊). This project helps the city which used to be poor and dirty get a new look. Now the 30 corridors full of trees and flowers connect green spaces such as parks and gardens in Medellin. The green corridors have reduced the temperature by two degrees and helped make the air clean. Bees and birds have returned. To make the beauty of the city remain, more gardening jobs have been created. Because of this, people there live more actively. It’s one of the best examples driven by government which improves the environment.
31.What does the underlined word “this” refer to (指代)?
A.The air becoming clean. B.Bees and birds returning.
C.The temperature dropping. D.Gardening jobs increasing.
32.According to the passage, all of the three projects ______.
A.lie in the city center B.have received high praise
C.have 18 solar-powered towers D.have 30 corridors full of trees and flowers
33.Which part of a magazine may this passage be taken from?
A.International Charities. B.Art World.
C.Green Life. D.Great People.

Lessons from China on increasing forest cover
Forests are the provider of many necessary products and play a key role in providing clean air,preventing climate change and conserving biodiversity. As deforestation and forest degradation continue across much of Asia—Pacific, a paper by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) shows how China has “seen a phenomenal transformation of forests in the last thirty years”.
China has taken active steps in increasing its forest cover. In the past thirty years, China has successfully stopped the loss of forests and even managed to reverse the trend. Such “forest transformation” is also evident in other countries within the region such as India, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam.
However, China’s efforts are worthy of mention. It has increased its forest cover from about 157 million hectares in 1990 to about 220 million hectares in 2020. Reforestation there has been the highest among the 236 countries and regions covered by FAO’s paper.
The increase in China’s forest cover arises from two factors—planted forest areas and naturally regenerated forests. Between 1990 and 2020, planted forests increased by over 40 million hectares, while naturally regenerated forests increased by 22 million hectares.
Lots of tree-planting programs have ensured the growth of trees in China. Under China’s Grain for Green program starting in 1999, China has successfully transformed 33.5 million hectares of croplands into tree or grass cover.
China has also invested heavily in research and development in science and technology. This has had direct and indirect impact on the forest industry. China started a three-stage forest development strategy in 2010, focusing on using digital technology to monitor, revive and develop forest areas.
And China has also made a great effort to improve the forest ecosystem and its resilience to climate change. China has achieved this by increasing public awareness, building national parks and running various reforestation programs.
According to Jong Jin Kim, Assistant Director—General and FAO Regional Representative for Asia and the Pacific, “such a transformation is a result of several factors, including the rise of China as an industrial economy, clear and consistent policies, investment in key forestry programs, and the development of science and technology.”
34.What does “forest transformation” refer to in paragraph 2?
A.China has taken active steps in increasing its croplands.
B.It is evident in other countries such as India, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam.
C.China has invested heavily in research and development in science and technology.
D.China has successfully stopped the loss of forests and even managed to change the trend completely in the past thirty years.
35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.China has improved the forest ecosystem only by increasing public awareness.
B.China has successfully transformed about 35 million hectares of tree or grass cover into croplands.
C.The increase in China’s forest cover includes the increase in planted forest areas and naturally regenerated forests.
D.The three-stage forest development strategy in 2010 focused on making use of digital technology to develop croplands.
36.Which of the following is NOT the reason for the “forest transformation”?
A.Lots of tree-planting programs.
B.The rise of China as an agricultural country.
C.Great investment in research and development in science and technology.
D.Great efforts to improve the ecosystem of the forest and its resilience to climate change.

My friend Julie and I are crazy about creating (创建) a beautiful green town.
Gardening Course
Every September, our city has a special festival. Crowds of happy people go to the park. That’s because the gardening competition takes place there.
For Julie and me, it was a pity that we couldn’t take part in the gardening competition, for that was also the first day of our high school. We were busy choosing courses. We wanted to learn all about plants, gardening and farming. We thought it would help us succeed as gardeners.
Project presentation
After a year’s study, I decided to give a talk to my class about my project—the green farm.
“Good morning!” I said, “During my studies, I’ve learned a lot about city farming. Now, I want to do something with what I’ve learned.”
I showed them a small plastic model. “This is the high street of our town. This is an old, nine-floor car park. No one has used it for the last two years and it’s now for sale.”
“I’ve designed a city farm using the car park building. There will be eight floors to farm fruit and vegetables. This design can help us collect rainwater to wet the soil. And we can also use energy from the sun to power the special growing lights.”
“I will hire (租) the space out to local people and they will sell everything good enough for the environment in local shops. Also, the ninth floor will be for those who want to grow their own plants.”
My audience looked interested and my project got the highest marks in my class.
Later, Julie helped me search the town for the perfect place for gardening—somewhere that was not the best neighbourhood, but a poor one. One where the road was full of holes and the pavement (人行道) was all broken came into our eyes. At last, we made it.
In the neighbourhood, we posted letters through people’s doors with gardening instructions. More and more people cared about that and began to plant vegetable gardens.
Then in the same neighbourhood, we put grass over those broken old pavements for the kids to play on. Finally, we put up a sign that said, “Have fun here.”
When we finished, we were both covered in soil and completely tired. But Julie put an arm around my shoulders and smiled. “Not bad!” she said. “We can do more to make our town greener!”

When you are shopping for the week’s food, you may get a large box or two of bottled water. On your way to a soccer game, it’s easy to take a cold one out of the fridge, right?
But all those plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels (矿物燃料). In fact, Americans buy more bottled water than any other country in the world, about 29 billion water bottles a year. In order to make all these bottles, 17 million, barrels (桶) of crude oil are used. That’s enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months.
People love the convenience (便利) of bottled water. But maybe if they realized the problems it causes, they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a steel container instead of a plastic bottle.
Plastic bottles pollute the environment but recycling can help-instead of going out with the-rubbish, plastic bottles can be turned into useful items. Sadly, for every six water bottles we use, only one makes it to the recycling bin. The rest are sent to landfills. Or, even worse, they end up as rubbish on the land and in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Plastic bottles take many hundreds of years to disintegrate under the ground.
Betty Melaughlin, who runs an organization called the Container Recycling Institute, says we should try using fewer bottles, “If you take one to school for your lunch, don’t throw it away-bring it home and refill it from the tap for the next day. Refill a bottle as many times as you can before you recycle it.”
Remember this: Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt (瓦) light bulb for six hours.
41.Which one is the reason why Americans like bottled water according to the passage?
A.Because it is cleaner. B.Because it is cheaper.
C.Because it is healthier. D.Because it is easier to take with.
42.In Paragraph 2, how does the writer support the fact?
A.By giving numbers. B.By telling reasons.
C.By expressing opinions. D.By discussing problems.
43.The word “disintegrate” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A.turn into rubbish B.become useful
C.break into pieces D.mix with water
44.Which of the following is an opinion?
A.Americans buy the most bottled water in the world.
B.Bottled water is much better than that out of the tap.
C.Only one of the six bottles is put into the recycling bin.
D.17 million barrels of oil are used to make bottles a year.
45.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this article?
A.To tell us to give up bottled water. B.To tell us to save natural resources.
C.To tell us to protect the environment. D.To tell us to reuse and recycle plastic bottles.

Nowadays, OpenAI company’s ChatGPT, Dall-E and Sora have been a hot topic all around the world. But perhaps most of us have never thought about what it takes to run such intelligent (智能的) products. One thing this technology depends on may get you surprised—plenty of water!
Why does a computer programme need so much water? In fact, in order to have the ability to write like a human, an AI system must first study a large amount (数量) of text written by humans. In the process, it not only uses much electricity but also produces much heat. So, on hot days, computer engineers use water to keep the computers cool.
Microsoft has worked with OpenAI for years. In a recent report, Microsoft shared how much water was used from 2021 to 2022. The total amount of water used in cooling machines is enough to fill more than 2,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools. It is believed the training of AI systems leads to the big rise.
Usually, AI supercomputing centres lie in places that are cool for most of the year. These centres can just use outside air to cool the computers. But in summer, the temperature goes to 30℃. The computer engineers have to use a large amount of water to cool all the machines.
ChatGPT also “drinks” water while chatting. Scientists have worked out the environmental costs of using AI products. For a conversation of 20 to 50 questions and answers, ChatGPT uses up a bottle of water, about 500 ml. The exact amount of water used in chatting changes with the seasons.
Many people are unaware of the problem. If you don’t know how many resources ChatGPT uses, how can you help to save water? The next time you are amazed at how smart ChatGPT is, think about how much water it’s “drinking”. Why not reduce the time of talking to machines—to help save the Earth’s water resources?
Around the world, intelligent products are discussed heatedly. However, the fact that much water is used in running them may 61 many people.
The 62 for using much water
When an AI has the ability of 63 like a man, it needs electricity and produces heat. As a result, water is used to keep the computers 64 .
A recent report by Microsoft
From 2021 to 2022, the amount of the water used in cooling machines kept 65 . The training of the AI systems is the cause of it.
The analysis (分析)
The amount of used water is
◇ connected with 66 where AI supercomputing centres are built.
◇ affected by the high 67 in these places.
◇ not the 68 all year round and changes with the seasons.
Advice
◇ Consider it as a 69 .
◇ Save the Earth’s water resources by having more 70 with humans.

Recently the term “carbon neutral (碳中和)” has been a public topic. Being carbon neutral means cutting d 71 carbon emissions (碳排放) to zero or balancing (均衡) them out by taking some carbon out of the atmosphere (大气层). Carbon emissions make the climate (气候) change for the w 72 and the temperatures rise. They are caused by all kinds of human activities. Burning fossil fuels (化工燃料) like coal, oil and gas to p 73 energy is a main source of carbon emissions.
China has promised to be carbon-neutral by 2060. To achieve this goal (目标), we will face many challenges (挑战). However, many hands make light work. We students can also make contributions (贡献) to helping r 74 this goal. Here’re some suggestions:
Travel in a green way
Since driving cars has caused serious air problems, we’d better do more walking or cycling instead of driving. By doing so, we can save energy and reduce air p 75 .
Save water
Lack (缺乏) of water resources will be h 76 to the ecological (生态的) environment. So please turn off the tap after using it.
Plant more trees
A good way of balancing out the carbon emissions is to plant trees b 77 trees can take in CO2 as they grow.
Reduce food waste
Schools can encourage students to save food by comparing (对比) how much food is not eaten by students after each meal. They can w 78 the leftovers (剩余饭菜) by putting them on the scale (秤). Also, they can put the leftovers into a machine that can t 79 the waste into useful things. For example, some waste can be put in the garden to help plants grow.
Let’s join together to see how small changes can make a big d 80 .
