Camels, known as “ships of the desert,” can store water and walk for days without drinking. Fennec foxes have large ears to keep cool and hunt at night to avoid the heat.   The desert also has its own beauty. Sand dunes stretch for miles, changing shape in the wind. At night, the sky is filled with stars, creating a breathtaking view.   However, the Sahara is facing challenges. Climate change is making the desert even drier, and overgrazing (过度放牧) by livestock is damaging the land. Scientists are studying ways to protect the fragile ecosystem and help local communities survive. 24．Why are camels called “ships of the desert”? A．Because they can swim. B．Because they store water and travel long distances. C．Because they are large. D．Because they live in groups. 25．What is the main problem in the Sahara? A．Heavy rain. B．Deforestation.

Visitors to Racetrack Playa, a dry lake bed in California, wonder how the rocks can move on their own. These rocks leave long tracks (轨迹) behind them. The long tracks show that the rocks move along the ground. Those rocks only move at night and only move once every year or two. And they don’t move at the same time or in the same direction (方向). But how do they move? How can a 350-kilogram rock move? Now scientists know the answer to the question! Here’s how it happens. Death Valley is one of the hottest places in the world, but it is cold at night. When it rains, the hard ground becomes soft and wet. When it gets cold enough, the water on the ground will change into very thin ice. Then the strong wind can move flat rocks along the flat ground. In the morning, the sun comes up and dries the ground. Moving rocks can be found in other places in the world as well, but Death Valley is the most famous. 27．What interests visitors most in Death Valley? A．The mountains around Death Valley. B．The scenery of Death Valley. C．The reason why the lake is dry. D．The secret of the moving rocks. 28．How is the weather in Death Valley? A．Hot in the day and humid at night.

A．A Dry Lake Bed B．Tracks of Rocks C．Soft and Wet Ground D．Moving Rocks in Death Valley D Not many years ago, some farmers were worried because hawks (鹰) took many of their chickens, so the farmers killed (杀害) many hawks. They didn’t need to worry about their chickens. But soon they had new worries. Mice (老鼠) ate the farmers’ food. How did this happen? Hawks ate not only chickens but also mice. They ate more mice than chickens. But the farmers did not know this. When they killed many hawks, they changed the balance of nature. Here is another example. In a place of the US, the giraffes ate a kind of rose, and the lions there ate the giraffes. But people killed many lions to defend the giraffes. Soon, many giraffes ate up all the roses. Then the giraffes began to eat leaves of young trees. These trees were important to people. So people thought of many ways to protect trees. Now the giraffes had nothing to eat, and many of them died. This was another lesson from nature. Please always remember: It’s important to keep the balance of nature. The balance of nature is important to both nature and people. 30．Why did farmers kill hawks? A．To make more money. B．To protect their children. C．To keep their chickens safe.

They look like gardens under the water. There are a lot of small animals called polyps (珊瑚虫) in coral reefs. Polyps have mouths, and they can catch food. They usually live in places with light. Coral reefs are built by lots of polyps. As old polyps die (死亡), new polyps grow on the top. That’s how coral reefs form. Polyps grow in special places with a lot of food. They also need clean and warm water to grow. Some coral reefs can exist for a long time, and they’re home to more than 4,000 kinds of fish! Save coral reefs! Many coral reefs are disappearing (消失). Coral reefs are amazing and wonderful, and they’re important to us in many fields. But they are in danger. Because of human activities, many coral reefs are disappearing. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), over 90% of coral reefs may disappear by 2050 if we do nothing. We must do something for coral reefs from now on. 34．What builds coral reefs? 35．What kind of water do polyps live in? 36．How many kinds of fish live in coral reefs? 37．As a student, do we need to save coral reefs?

Visitors to Racetrack Playa, a dry lake bed in California, wonder how the rocks can move on their own. These rocks leave long tracks (轨迹) behind them.

A．The Balance of Nature B．Friendship in Nature C．Ways of Helping Animals D．Food for Different Animals 【答案】30．C 31．C 32．B 33．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了农民因鹰捕食鸡而杀害鹰，却引发了新问题，又通过美国一个地方人们为保护长颈鹿杀害狮子，最终导致长颈鹿死亡的事例，强调保持自然平衡很重要。 30．第一段提到“Not many years ago, some farmers were worried because hawks (鹰) took many of their chickens, so the farmers killed (杀害) many hawks.”，说明农民杀害鹰是为了保护他们的鸡。 31．第二段提到“In a place of the US, the giraffes ate a kind of rose, and the lions there ate the giraffes... Soon, many giraffes ate up all the roses. Then the giraffes began to eat leaves of young trees.”，说明长颈鹿吃了玫瑰和幼树的叶子。 32．第二段提到“But people killed many lions to defend the giraffes.”，根据句意和上下文，人们为保护长颈鹿杀害狮子，可推测“defend”意思是“保护”，和“Protect”意思相近。 33．全文通过两个例子说明破坏自然平衡会带来严重后果，强调保持自然平衡的重要性，因此最合适的标题是“The Balance of Nature”。 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Do you know coral reefs? They look like gardens under the water. There are a lot of small animals called polyps (珊瑚虫) in coral reefs. Polyps have mouths, and they can catch food. They usually live in places with light. Coral reefs are built by lots of polyps. As old polyps die (死亡), new polyps grow on the top. That’s how coral reefs form. Polyps grow in special places with a lot of food. They also need clean and warm water to grow. Some coral reefs can exist for a long time, and they’re home to more than 4,000 kinds of fish! Save coral reefs! Many coral reefs are disappearing (消失). Coral reefs are amazing and wonderful, and they’re important to us in many fields. But they are in danger. Because of human activities, many coral reefs are disappearing. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), over 90% of coral reefs may disappear by 2050 if we do nothing. We must do something for coral reefs from now on. 34．What builds coral reefs? 35．What kind of water do polyps live in? 36．How many kinds of fish live in coral reefs? 37．As a student, do we need to save coral reefs? Why? 【答案】34．Lots of polyps. 35．Clean and warm water. 36．More than 4,000 kinds of fish. 37．Yes, we do. Because coral reefs are important to us in many fields and they are in danger of disappearing now, we should do something to protect them. 【导语】本文介绍了珊瑚礁的形成过程、珊瑚虫的生活环境以及珊瑚礁对海洋生物的重要性，同时指出了珊瑚礁因人类活动而濒临消失的现状，呼吁人们采取行动保护珊瑚礁。 34．第三段第一句明确说明了珊瑚礁是由什么构成的：“Coral reefs are built by lots of polyps.” 答案是原文直接信息。 35．第三段第五句明确说明了珊瑚虫生活所需的水质：“They also need clean and warm water to grow.” 因此答案是原文直接信息。 36．第三段最后一句明确说明了珊瑚礁中生活的鱼类种类数量：“Some coral reefs can exist for a long time, and they’re home to more than 4,000 kinds of fish!” 因此答案是原文直接信息。 37．本题为开放性试题，需表达学生是否需要保护珊瑚礁并说明理由。可结合文中提到的珊瑚礁的重要性、濒危现状等角度展开，言之有理即可。 五、文段表达（10分） 从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据所给的中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出的内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出真实的校名、姓名和地名。 38．假如你是李华，这周末你将和你的外国朋友Peter一起去动物园参观金丝猴。请根据以下信息，写一封信向他介绍金丝猴，并提醒他在参观时需要注意的事项。 Home: Sichuan Looks (at least two points) Personality Food: fruits Abilities (at least two points) Ways to save them (at least two points) Zoo rules (at least two points) *Word bank: golden monkey 金丝猴 要求： 1. 包含提示所有信息，可适当发挥； 2. 条理清晰，书写规范； 3. 80词左右。 Dear Peter, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】例文： Dear Peter, I’m so excited that we’ll visit the golden monkeys in the zoo this weekend!
