Well, it affects where we go, what we do, and what we wear. And it also affects how we feel and act. It is a big part of our lives ②We often use weather language to describe (描述) how we feel. For example, if we don’t feel well, we say we are “under the weather”. If we feel stressed out (有压力的) and busy, we can say that we are “snowed under”. We use “bad” weather (rainy, stormy, etc.) to describe a bad mood (情绪), and “good” weather (sunny, warm, etc. ) to describe a good mood. ③And that is not all. The weather can even change the way we feel. For example, sunlight helps our body to make vitamin D (维生素D). This vitamin can improve our mood. But some parts of the world get little sunlight in winter, so people can feel very sad then. However, when it is hot and sunny, some people may get angry easily too. Scientists are still studying how the weather changes the way people feel and act. ④These days, many of us spend less time outside than before.

Taking a walk in the countryside is the best way to cheer up! Many studies show that being close to nature makes us happy. Some people love walking slowly through forests. As you look at the tall trees around, you’ll find they’re much more than just pretty sights. We all know trees are nature’s air cleaners. They make oxygen for us to breathe and take in harmful carbon dioxide. But guess what? Trees can do even more amazing things! Scientists have discovered that trees are actually very clever. Studies show trees “talk” and share things through a special network under the ground. This network is made up of tree roots and tiny threads called hyphae (菌丝). These hyphae connect all the trees together, just like a hidden internet. Through this network, trees can help each other. If a tree needs nutrients (养分), others can send some over. They can also warn each other when danger, like insects, is coming. An ecologist (生态学家) named Suzanne Simard was so excited when she found this network. She called it the Wood Wide Web. She discovered that big “parent” trees use this web to take care of their “baby” trees. They send more nutrients to their own young trees, just like human parents taking care of their kids. Trees are truly the stars of nature. They have their own ways of living and helping each other. If we want these amazing trees to stay healthy, we should plant more trees, protect forests, and tell others how wonderful trees are. Let’s take good care of our nature’s stars! 26．What can make people feel happy according to Paragraph 1? A．Taking a walk in the street. B．Planting trees in the forest. C．Being connected with nature. D．Having a sleep at weekends. 27．How do trees warn each other of danger? A．By shaking their branches strongly. B．Using the roots and hyphae network. C．Sending messages with flying insects. D．Changing the leaf color suddenly. 28．What did Suzanne Simard discover about the Wood Wide Web? A．Small trees produce oxygen faster than parent trees. B．Parent trees send nutrients to care for baby trees. C．Trees fight insects bravely to protect the forest. D．Scientists use the Wood Wide Web to study new networks. 29．What may the writer talk about after the end of the article? A．The cleverness of trees. B．The ways to protect trees. C．The places where trees grow. D．The connections among trees. 30．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (①-⑤for each paragraph) A． B． C． D． 【答案】26．C 27．B 28．B 29．B 30．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了树木非凡的智慧，特别是它们通过地下真菌网络进行交流、互助和保护后代的现象，并呼吁大家认识到树木的重要性并加以保护。 26．细节理解题。根据“Many studies show that being close to nature makes us happy.”可知，亲近大自然让人心情愉快，故选C。 27．细节理解题。根据“Studies show trees ‘talk’ and share things through a special network under the ground. This network is made up of tree roots and tiny threads called hyphae (菌丝)…They can also warn each other when danger, like insects, is coming.”可知，树木通过地底的根和菌丝网络来互相警告危险，故选B。 28．细节理解题。根据“She discovered that big ‘parent’ trees use this web to take care of their ‘baby’ trees. They send more nutrients to their own young trees, just like human parents taking care of their kids.”可知，大树会通过Wood Wide Web给小树输送养分，故选B。 29．推理判断题。根据“we should plant more trees, protect forests, and tell others how wonderful trees are. Let’s take good care of our nature’s stars!”可推知，接下来最可能谈论如何更好地保护树木，故选B。 30．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引入主题；第二段说明树木基础功能；第三段和第四段介绍树木互通网络及实证；最后一段总结全文。故选A。 C Scientists found plants could “talk”. Lilach Hadany and her team recorded (录音) some plants in different places. Their recordings showed that the plants made some sounds. After the scientists changed their recordings, people could hear plants clicking (咔嗒) clearly. They also found the plants hardly clicked when they had enough water. As their soil (土壤) got drier, they clicked more and more. When the scientists cut off a part of the plants, the plants also clicked more. But the clicking wasn’t the same as when the plants needed water. The plants made more sounds when they felt bad. Because of these findings, the scientists thought that they can use a plant’s sounds to find out when it needs help, and what problem it is having. Some questions come with the study. One important question is: Do plants make sounds to talk with each other? Other studies showed that plants seem to talk in some ways. If some animals are eating the plants, the plants will send chemicals into the air. Soon, nearby plants start to make other chemicals that don’t taste good to the animals. Maybe the sounds could work in the same way. Another question is: Is anything listening to the plants? Hadany says that she and her team will study if plants or animals will answer the clicking sounds of the plants. The study changed people’s ideas about plants. Hadany says, “Even in a quiet place, there are sounds that we don’t hear, and those sounds have things to tell.” 31．What does the underlined word “hardly” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．sometimes B．Always C．Often D．almost never 32．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Plants clicked more when the soil was too dry. B．Plants made no sound when scientists cut them off. C．Plants made sound to talk when animals were eating them. D．People couldn’t hear plants’ sounds because they were too quiet. 33．What will Hadany and her team study next? A．How do the plants make the clicking sounds? B．Do plants make sounds to talk with other plants? C．Will plants or animals answer plants’ clicking sounds? D．What can they do to change people’s ideas about plants? 34．Which one can be the title for the article? A．Plants can “talk”. B．Plants on Earth C．Beautiful music D．The sound of nature 35．We can read this passage from a _________. A．fairy story B．science magazine C．news report D．travel guide 【答案】31．D 32．A 33．C 34．A 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了科学家发现植物在缺水或受损时会发出咔嗒声，并推测这种声音可能用于交流。研究还提出未来探索方向，颠覆了人们对植物“沉默”的传统认知。 31．词句猜测题。根据“They also found the plants hardly clicked when they had enough water. As their soil (土壤) got drier, they clicked more and more.”可知，此处是指植物有充足的水分时候，它们几乎不会发出咔嗒声。因此hardly与almost never“几乎从来不会”意思相近。故选D。 32．细节理解题。根据“As their soil (土壤) got drier, they clicked more and more.”可知，随着土壤变得越来越干燥，它们发出咔嗒声越来越多。故选A。 33．细节理解题。根据“Hadany says that she and her team will study if plants or animals will answer the clicking sounds of the plants.”可知，下一步研究问题是“是否有植物或动物回应植物的咔嗒声”，故选C。 34．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了科学家发现植物在缺水或受损时会发出咔嗒声，并推测这种声音可能用于交流。研究还提出未来探索方向，颠覆了人们对植物“沉默”的传统认知。故选A。 35．推理判断题。本文主要是与研究植物的一些特征有关。因此可能会在科学杂志上读到此文章。故选B。 D March 22 is World Water Day. People think water is the source of all life. Water has been part of Chinese culture for thousands of years. It affects not only the start of Chinese civilization but also many smart ideas in Chinese philosophy. Chinese civilization is one of the ancient river civilizations in the world. It started thousands of years ago along the Yellow and Yangtze rivers. So, Chinese culture has been related to water from the very beginning.​ But the relationship between people and water has two sides. Water is very important for life and for growing things. But if we can’t manage it well, it can bring big problems. Knowing how powerful water is, Chinese people have always tried to use it in the best way. For example, Yu, the first ruler of the Xia Dynasty in stories, controlled floods. He changed and dug the waterways so that the water could flow into the sea easily. The Dujiangyan irrigation (灌溉) system in Sichuan was built cleverly. It made full use of the natural features of the place without hurting the environment.​ Water also has philosophical meanings in China. These meanings are used to teach people and help rule the country. According to Xunzi (《荀子》), Confucius often thought about water. He believed water had good qualities like fairness and courage. He once said, “Wise people like water; kind people like mountains (智者乐水，仁者乐山).” So, Confucianism tells people to learn from water and develop their sense of right and wrong. Inspired by water, Laozi came up with the ideas of “using softness to beat hardness (以柔克刚)” and “doing nothing against nature”. These ideas later kept inspiring rulers to follow the laws of nature and respect what people want. Ancient Chinese philosopher Xunzi compared a ruler and his people to a boat and water. He said, “Water can carry a boat, but it can also turn the boat over.”​ Water is everywhere in our daily life. It is a very important part of Chinese culture. It helps build Chinese civilization. 36．What is the purpose of the Dujiangyan irrigation system? A．To prevent floods by blocking rivers B．To store water for drinking purposes C．To create a new river channel D．To use natural features without harming the environment 37．What can we know from the idea of “using softness to beat hardness”? A．Water is weak and useless B．Strength should be used against nature C．Hardness is better than softness D．Gentleness can be powerful in certain situations 38．Why is water considered important in shaping Chinese civilization? A．It is vital for the agricultural sector. B．It served as inspiration for art and literature. C．It influenced both the origin of the civilization and wisdom in philosophy. D．It played a role in China’s technological advancements. 39．What is the author’s attitude towards ancient Chinese water management? A．Critical B．Praising C．Doubtful D．Uninterested 40．What is the main idea of the article? A．How to celebrate World Water Day in China B．The history of the Yellow and Yangtze rivers C．The role of water in Chinese civilization and philosophy D．Water management in China has evolved significantly since ancient times. 【答案】36．D 37．D 38．C 39．B 40．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了水在中华文化中的重要地位，包括其对中华文明起源的影响，以及在哲学思想中蕴含的智慧，还介绍了古人对水的管理和利用。 36．细节理解题。根据“The Dujiangyan irrigation...hurting the environment.”可知，此处提及都江堰灌溉系统充分利用当地自然特征且不破坏环境。故选D。 37．推理判断题。根据“Laozi came up...nothing against nature’.”可知，“以柔克刚”体现了温柔在某些情况下也能强大有力。故选D。 38．细节理解题。根据“It affects not only...in Chinese philosophy.”可知，水在塑造中华文明方面重要是因为它影响了文明起源和哲学智慧。故选C。 39．观点态度题。根据文中对大禹治水、都江堰水利工程等古人对水管理利用的描述，可知作者持赞扬态度。故选B。 40．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕水在中华文明起源、哲学思想等方面的作用展开叙述，主旨是水在中国文明中的作用。故选C。 四、阅读还原(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文，从方框中选出合适的句子将短文补充完整。 The traditional Chinese solar calendar (阴历) divides the year into 24 solar terms. Awakening of Insects (惊蛰) falls on March 6 and ends on March 20 this year. 41 Animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder (雷) and the earth begins to come back to life. Here are some things you may not know about Awakening of Insects. The Awakening of Insects is an important time for farmers. 42 During this period, most parts of China experience the quickest rise in temperatures and there is an increase in sunshine, which provides good natural conditions for crops. According to ancient Chinese folklore (民间传说), a white tiger is the creature that brings bad luck. 43 When practicing this old custom, people draw the white tiger on paper, and then paint pig’s blood and pork on its mouth. This means the tiger is fed so that it would not eat people, avoiding bad luck. 44 They swim from deep water to shallow water in search of food, mating and bearing young. It is a good time for fishing. Fishing can provide mental and physical relaxation, especially for people living in the city. 45 A．It is widely seen as the beginning of the busiest time for farming. B．Around the Awakening of Insects, some animals wake up, and so do fish. C．So people offer food to the white tiger to protect themselves during the Awakening of Insects. D．Awakening of Insects means a rise in temperature and increased rainfall. E．Fishing in a lake, bathing in the sunlight and enjoying the singing birds make for a perfect weekend in spring. F．It comes from the old saying, “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains.” 【答案】41．D 42．A 43．C 44．B 45．E 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国农历二十四节气之一的惊蛰，包括其日期、对农民的意义、传统习俗以及与之相关的动物行为，展现了惊蛰的重要性。 41． 根据下一句“Animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and the earth begins to come back to life.”可知，说的是惊蛰带来的变化。结合所给项可知，选项D“惊蛰意味着气温上升和降雨量增加。”引起下文，符合语境。故选D。 42．根据上一句“The Awakening of Insects is an important time for farmers.”可知，惊蛰对农民来说是一个重要的时刻。选项A“人们普遍认为这是农业最繁忙时期的开始。”承接上文，符合语境。故选A。 43．根据上一句“According to ancient Chinese folklore, a white tiger is the creature that brings bad luck.”可知，是与白虎有关的传说。选项C“因此，人们在惊蛰期间向白虎提供食物以保护自己。”，承接上文符合语境。故选C。 44．根据下一句“They swim from deep water to shallow water in search of food, mating and bearing young.”可知，是在介绍鱼的活动情况。选项B“在惊蛰前后，一些动物会醒来，鱼类也会醒来。”引起下文符合语境。故选B。 45．根据上一句“Fishing can provide mental and physical relaxation, especially for people living in the city.”可知，是说垂钓的好处。选项E“在湖中钓鱼，沐浴在阳光下，欣赏鸟儿的歌唱，让春天的周末变得完美。”承接上文，符合语境。故选E。 第二部分 非选择题 五、任务型阅读(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读短文，按要求回答问题。 Coffee is the best!

It is essential for all forms of life. Without water, life as we know it would not exist. We use water in countless ways in our daily lives. We drink it to 12 hydrated, cook with it, and use it for cleaning. In addition, water is 13 for agriculture. Farmers rely on water to irrigate their fields and grow crops. Without sufficient water, crops would wither and die, leading to food shortages. Water also plays a crucial 14 in industry. Many manufacturing processes require large amounts of water. For example, in the paper-making industry, water is used to 15 the pulp. In the energy sector, water is used to generate electricity in hydro-power plants. However, water is not evenly distributed around the world. Some regions suffer from water shortages, while others face water pollution problems. Factories and farms often 16 harmful chemicals into water bodies, making the water 17 for human consumption and harmful to aquatic life. We need to 18 water resources. One way is to save water in our daily lives. We can turn off the tap when brushing our teeth or use a bucket instead of a hose to wash the car. Another way is to 19 water pollution. We should support stricter environmental regulations and encourage industries to adopt cleaner production methods. In conclusion, water is precious. We must do our part to protect and 20 this valuable resource for future generations. 11．A．common B．important C．interesting D．beautiful 12．A．keep B．make C．get D．stay 13．A．useless B．necessary C．harmful D．difficult 14．A．game B．role C．part D．place 15．A．make B．create C．process D．produce 16．A．put B．throw C．release D．give 17．A．safe B．unsafe C．clean D．dirty 18．A．waste B．protect C．use D．pollute 19．A．increase B．reduce C．improve D．change 20．A．waste B．save C．destroy D．use 三、阅读单选(本大题共20小题，每小题1.5分，共30分) A ①Do you know how weather affects our lives? Well, it affects where we go, what we do, and what we wear. And it also affects how we feel and act. It is a big part of our lives ②We often use weather language to describe (描述) how we feel. For example, if we don’t feel well, we say we are “under the weather”. If we feel stressed out (有压力的) and busy, we can say that we are “snowed under”. We use “bad” weather (rainy, stormy, etc.) to describe a bad mood (情绪), and “good” weather (sunny, warm, etc. ) to describe a good mood. ③And that is not all. The weather can even change the way we feel. For example, sunlight helps our body to make vitamin D (维生素D). This vitamin can improve our mood. But some parts of the world get little sunlight in winter, so people can feel very sad then. However, when it is hot and sunny, some people may get angry easily too. Scientists are still studying how the weather changes the way people feel and act. ④These days, many of us spend less time outside than before. Getting no fresh air or sunlight and spending too much time inside can make us feel sad. It is very important to go outside sometimes, whatever the weather, rain or shine 21．According to the text, how does weather affect our daily lives? A．It only changes our clothes. B．It affects where we go, what we do, and our feelings. C．It changes what we eat. D．It makes us stay indoors always. 22．What does “snowed under” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Playing in snow B．Enjoying winter C．Being cold D．Feeling very busy 23．Why is sunlight important for our mood? A．It makes us happy. B．It keeps us warm at night. C．It lets us see better. D．It helps our bodies make vitamin D． 24．What problem might people have in winter according to the text? A．They feel too happy. B．They get angry easily. C．They feel very sad because of little sunlight. D．They stop making vitamin D． 25．What advice does the text give about going outside? A．Go outside often, rain or shine. B．Never go in rainy weather. C．Only go when it’s sunny. D．Stay inside to have good moods. B Feeling a bit down? Taking a walk in the countryside is the best way to cheer up! Many studies show that being close to nature makes us happy. Some people love walking slowly through forests. As you look at the tall trees around, you’ll find they’re much more than just pretty sights. We all know trees are nature’s air cleaners. They make oxygen for us to breathe and take in harmful carbon dioxide. But guess what? Trees can do even more amazing things! Scientists have discovered that trees are actually very clever. Studies show trees “talk” and share things through a special network under the ground. This network is made up of tree roots and tiny threads called hyphae (菌丝). These hyphae connect all the trees together, just like a hidden internet. Through this network, trees can help each other. If a tree needs nutrients (养分), others can send some over. They can also warn each other when danger, like insects, is coming. An ecologist (生态学家) named Suzanne Simard was so excited when she found this network. She called it the Wood Wide Web. She discovered that big “parent” trees use this web to take care of their “baby” trees. They send more nutrients to their own young trees, just like human parents taking care of their kids. Trees are truly the stars of nature. They have their own ways of living and helping each other. If we want these amazing trees to stay healthy, we should plant more trees, protect forests, and tell others how wonderful trees are. Let’s take good care of our nature’s stars! 26．What can make people feel happy according to Paragraph 1? A．Taking a walk in the street. B．Planting trees in the forest. C．Being connected with nature. D．Having a sleep at weekends. 27．How do trees warn each other of danger? A．By shaking their branches strongly. B．Using the roots and hyphae network. C．Sending messages with flying insects. D．Changing the leaf color suddenly. 28．What did Suzanne Simard discover about the Wood Wide Web? A．Small trees produce oxygen faster than parent trees. B．Parent trees send nutrients to care for baby trees. C．Trees fight insects bravely to protect the forest. D．Scientists use the Wood Wide Web to study new networks. 29．What may the writer talk about after the end of the article? A．The cleverness of trees. B．The ways to protect trees. C．The places where trees grow. D．The connections among trees. 30．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (①-⑤for each paragraph) A． B． C． D． C Scientists found plants could “talk”. Lilach Hadany and her team recorded (录音) some plants in different places. Their recordings showed that the plants made some sounds. After the scientists changed their recordings, people could hear plants clicking (咔嗒) clearly. They also found the plants hardly clicked when they had enough water. As their soil (土壤) got drier, they clicked more and more. When the scientists cut off a part of the plants, the plants also clicked more. But the clicking wasn’t the same as when the plants needed water. The plants made more sounds when they felt bad. Because of these findings, the scientists thought that they can use a plant’s sounds to find out when it needs help, and what problem it is having. Some questions come with the study. One important question is: Do plants make sounds to talk with each other? Other studies showed that plants seem to talk in some ways. If some animals are eating the plants, the plants will send chemicals into the air. Soon, nearby plants start to make other chemicals that don’t taste good to the animals. Maybe the sounds could work in the same way. Another question is: Is anything listening to the plants? Hadany says that she and her team will study if plants or animals will answer the clicking sounds of the plants. The study changed people’s ideas about plants. Hadany says, “Even in a quiet place, there are sounds that we don’t hear, and those sounds have things to tell.” 31．What does the underlined word “hardly” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．sometimes B．Always C．Often D．almost never 32．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Plants clicked more when the soil was too dry. B．Plants made no sound when scientists cut them off. C．Plants made sound to talk when animals were eating them. D．People couldn’t hear plants’ sounds because they were too quiet. 33．What will Hadany and her team study next? A．How do the plants make the clicking sounds? B．Do plants make sounds to talk with other plants? C．Will plants or animals answer plants’ clicking sounds? D．What can they do to change people’s ideas about plants? 34．Which one can be the title for the article? A．Plants can “talk”. B．Plants on Earth C．Beautiful music D．The sound of nature 35．We can read this passage from a _________. A．fairy story B．science magazine C．news report D．travel guide D March 22 is World Water Day. People think water is the source of all life. Water has been part of Chinese culture for thousands of years. It affects not only the start of Chinese civilization but also many smart ideas in Chinese philosophy. Chinese civilization is one of the ancient river civilizations in the world. It started thousands of years ago along the Yellow and Yangtze rivers. So, Chinese culture has been related to water from the very beginning.​ But the relationship between people and water has two sides. Water is very important for life and for growing things. But if we can’t manage it well, it can bring big problems. Knowing how powerful water is, Chinese people have always tried to use it in the best way. For example, Yu, the first ruler of the Xia Dynasty in stories, controlled floods. He changed and dug the waterways so that the water could flow into the sea easily. The Dujiangyan irrigation (灌溉) system in Sichuan was built cleverly. It made full use of the natural features of the place without hurting the environment.​ Water also has philosophical meanings in China. These meanings are used to teach people and help rule the country. According to Xunzi (《荀子》), Confucius often thought about water. He believed water had good qualities like fairness and courage. He once said, “Wise people like water; kind people like mountains (智者乐水，仁者乐山).” So, Confucianism tells people to learn from water and develop their sense of right and wrong. Inspired by water, Laozi came up with the ideas of “using softness to beat hardness (以柔克刚)” and “doing nothing against nature”. These ideas later kept inspiring rulers to follow the laws of nature and respect what people want. Ancient Chinese philosopher Xunzi compared a ruler and his people to a boat and water. He said, “Water can carry a boat, but it can also turn the boat over.”​ Water is everywhere in our daily life. It is a very important part of Chinese culture. It helps build Chinese civilization. 36．What is the purpose of the Dujiangyan irrigation system? A．To prevent floods by blocking rivers B．To store water for drinking purposes C．To create a new river channel D．To use natural features without harming the environment 37．What can we know from the idea of “using softness to beat hardness”? A．Water is weak and useless B．Strength should be used against nature C．Hardness is better than softness D．Gentleness can be powerful in certain situations 38．Why is water considered important in shaping Chinese civilization? A．It is vital for the agricultural sector. B．It served as inspiration for art and literature. C．It influenced both the origin of the civilization and wisdom in philosophy. D．It played a role in China’s technological advancements. 39．What is the author’s attitude towards ancient Chinese water management? A．Critical B．Praising C．Doubtful D．Uninterested 40．What is the main idea of the article? A．How to celebrate World Water Day in China B．The history of the Yellow and Yangtze rivers C．The role of water in Chinese civilization and philosophy D．Water management in China has evolved significantly since ancient times. 四、阅读还原(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文，从方框中选出合适的句子将短文补充完整。 The traditional Chinese solar calendar (阴历) divides the year into 24 solar terms. Awakening of Insects (惊蛰) falls on March 6 and ends on March 20 this year. 41 Animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder (雷) and the earth begins to come back to life. Here are some things you may not know about Awakening of Insects. The Awakening of Insects is an important time for farmers. 42 During this period, most parts of China experience the quickest rise in temperatures and there is an increase in sunshine, which provides good natural conditions for crops. According to ancient Chinese folklore (民间传说), a white tiger is the creature that brings bad luck. 43 When practicing this old custom, people draw the white tiger on paper, and then paint pig’s blood and pork on its mouth. This means the tiger is fed so that it would not eat people, avoiding bad luck. 44 They swim from deep water to shallow water in search of food, mating and bearing young. It is a good time for fishing. Fishing can provide mental and physical relaxation, especially for people living in the city. 45 A．It is widely seen as the beginning of the busiest time for farming. B．Around the Awakening of Insects, some animals wake up, and so do fish. C．So people offer food to the white tiger to protect themselves during the Awakening of Insects. D．Awakening of Insects means a rise in temperature and increased rainfall. E．Fishing in a lake, bathing in the sunlight and enjoying the singing birds make for a perfect weekend in spring.

Many studies show that being close to nature makes us happy. Some people love walking slowly through forests. As you look at the tall trees around, you’ll find they’re much more than just pretty sights. We all know trees are nature’s air cleaners. They make oxygen for us to breathe and take in harmful carbon dioxide. But guess what? Trees can do even more amazing things! Scientists have discovered that trees are actually very clever. Studies show trees “talk” and share things through a special network under the ground. This network is made up of tree roots and tiny threads called hyphae (菌丝). These hyphae connect all the trees together, just like a hidden internet. Through this network, trees can help each other. If a tree needs nutrients (养分), others can send some over. They can also warn each other when danger, like insects, is coming. An ecologist (生态学家) named Suzanne Simard was so excited when she found this network. She called it the Wood Wide Web. She discovered that big “parent” trees use this web to take care of their “baby” trees. They send more nutrients to their own young trees, just like human parents taking care of their kids. Trees are truly the stars of nature. They have their own ways of living and helping each other. If we want these amazing trees to stay healthy, we should plant more trees, protect forests, and tell others how wonderful trees are. Let’s take good care of our nature’s stars! 26．What can make people feel happy according to Paragraph 1? A．Taking a walk in the street. B．Planting trees in the forest. C．Being connected with nature.

B．Parent trees send nutrients to care for baby trees. C．Trees fight insects bravely to protect the forest. D．Scientists use the Wood Wide Web to study new networks. 29．What may the writer talk about after the end of the article? A．The cleverness of trees. B．The ways to protect trees. C．The places where trees grow. D．The connections among trees. 30．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (①-⑤for each paragraph) A． B． C． D． C Scientists found plants could “talk”. Lilach Hadany and her team recorded (录音) some plants in different places. Their recordings showed that the plants made some sounds. After the scientists changed their recordings, people could hear plants clicking (咔嗒) clearly. They also found the plants hardly clicked when they had enough water. As their soil (土壤) got drier, they clicked more and more. When the scientists cut off a part of the plants, the plants also clicked more. But the clicking wasn’t the same as when the plants needed water. The plants made more sounds when they felt bad. Because of these findings, the scientists thought that they can use a plant’s sounds to find out when it needs help, and what problem it is having. Some questions come with the study. One important question is: Do plants make sounds to talk with each other? Other studies showed that plants seem to talk in some ways. If some animals are eating the plants, the plants will send chemicals into the air. Soon, nearby plants start to make other chemicals that don’t taste good to the animals. Maybe the sounds could work in the same way. Another question is: Is anything listening to the plants? Hadany says that she and her team will study if plants or animals will answer the clicking sounds of the plants. The study changed people’s ideas about plants. Hadany says, “Even in a quiet place, there are sounds that we don’t hear, and those sounds have things to tell.” 31．What does the underlined word “hardly” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．sometimes B．Always C．Often D．almost never 32．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Plants clicked more when the soil was too dry. B．Plants made no sound when scientists cut them off. C．Plants made sound to talk when animals were eating them. D．People couldn’t hear plants’ sounds because they were too quiet. 33．What will Hadany and her team study next? A．How do the plants make the clicking sounds? B．Do plants make sounds to talk with other plants? C．Will plants or animals answer plants’ clicking sounds? D．What can they do to change people’s ideas about plants? 34．Which one can be the title for the article? A．Plants can “talk”. B．Plants on Earth C．Beautiful music D．The sound of nature 35．We can read this passage from a _________. A．fairy story B．science magazine C．news report D．travel guide D March 22 is World Water Day. People think water is the source of all life. Water has been part of Chinese culture for thousands of years. It affects not only the start of Chinese civilization but also many smart ideas in Chinese philosophy. Chinese civilization is one of the ancient river civilizations in the world. It started thousands of years ago along the Yellow and Yangtze rivers. So, Chinese culture has been related to water from the very beginning.​ But the relationship between people and water has two sides. Water is very important for life and for growing things. But if we can’t manage it well, it can bring big problems. Knowing how powerful water is, Chinese people have always tried to use it in the best way. For example, Yu, the first ruler of the Xia Dynasty in stories, controlled floods. He changed and dug the waterways so that the water could flow into the sea easily. The Dujiangyan irrigation (灌溉) system in Sichuan was built cleverly. It made full use of the natural features of the place without hurting the environment.​ Water also has philosophical meanings in China. These meanings are used to teach people and help rule the country. According to Xunzi (《荀子》), Confucius often thought about water. He believed water had good qualities like fairness and courage. He once said, “Wise people like water; kind people like mountains (智者乐水，仁者乐山).” So, Confucianism tells people to learn from water and develop their sense of right and wrong. Inspired by water, Laozi came up with the ideas of “using softness to beat hardness (以柔克刚)” and “doing nothing against nature”. These ideas later kept inspiring rulers to follow the laws of nature and respect what people want. Ancient Chinese philosopher Xunzi compared a ruler and his people to a boat and water. He said, “Water can carry a boat, but it can also turn the boat over.”​ Water is everywhere in our daily life. It is a very important part of Chinese culture. It helps build Chinese civilization. 36．What is the purpose of the Dujiangyan irrigation system? A．To prevent floods by blocking rivers B．To store water for drinking purposes C．To create a new river channel D．To use natural features without harming the environment 37．What can we know from the idea of “using softness to beat hardness”? A．Water is weak and useless B．Strength should be used against nature C．Hardness is better than softness D．Gentleness can be powerful in certain situations 38．Why is water considered important in shaping Chinese civilization? A．It is vital for the agricultural sector. B．It served as inspiration for art and literature. C．It influenced both the origin of the civilization and wisdom in philosophy. D．It played a role in China’s technological advancements. 39．What is the author’s attitude towards ancient Chinese water management? A．Critical B．Praising C．Doubtful D．Uninterested 40．What is the main idea of the article? A．How to celebrate World Water Day in China B．The history of the Yellow and Yangtze rivers C．The role of water in Chinese civilization and philosophy D．Water management in China has evolved significantly since ancient times. 四、阅读还原(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文，从方框中选出合适的句子将短文补充完整。 The traditional Chinese solar calendar (阴历) divides the year into 24 solar terms.
