Every April 22nd What’s the official website? Earth Day Tagged as: Nature & Environment What’s the hashtag? #EarthDay When was it founded? 1970 Who founded it? Gaylord Nelson and Denis Hoyes We first published this page on: Dec 23rd, 2017 We last updated this page: Mar 5th, 2026 Have we missed something? Earth Day: Caring for Our Planet Every year on April 22, people around the world celebrate Earth Day. It is one of the largest environmental movements in the world. Its goal is simple but important: to inspire everyone—individuals, communities, and governments—to take action and help protect our planet. The Beginning of Earth Day The idea for Earth Day started in 1969. A former US senator named Gaylord Nelson saw a terrible oil spill in California. The disaster polluted the ocean and harmed wildlife. Nelson was also inspired by student activists who were protesting for peace. He thought, “Why can’t we use this same energy to fight for a cleaner environment?” Nelson teamed up with a young activist named Denis Hayes. Together, they planned the first Earth Day. They chose April 22, 1970, because it fell between spring break and final exams. This made it easier for college students to take part. The first Earth Day was a huge success. About 20 million Americans joined events across the country. They marched in streets and held rallies to show their support for a healthier planet. For the first time, different environmental groups came together to fight for the same cause. Earth Day Goes Global The first Earth Day led to real change. Later that year, the US government created the Environmental Protection Agency. It also passed important laws to clean the air and water and protect endangered animals. In 1990, Earth Day went global. It reached over 140 countries and 200 million people. Today, more than 1 billion people in nearly 200 countries take part each year. In 2016, Earth Day was especially important. World leaders signed the Paris Agreement, a promise to work together to stop global warming. How You Can Help Earth Day reminds us that our actions matter. The way we live affects the environment, but it also affects our health, our food, and our future. You don’t have to do big things to make a difference. You can recycle more, save water, or plant a tree. Every small action helps. This Earth Day, think about what you can do to care for our planet. Together, we can make a positive change. Word Bank: senator n. 参议员 activist n. 活动家 protest v. 示威 rally n. 集会 11. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指的是)? A.

To compare Earth Day with other days. D. To show how to organize events. 【答案】11. A 12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了地球日的起源、发展和影响。 【11题详解】 根据“The Beginning of Earth Day”部分“Nelson was also inspired by student activists who were protesting for peace. He thought, ‘Why can’t we use this same energy to fight for a cleaner environment?’”可知，Nelson受到呼吁和平的学生活动家的鼓舞，反问“为何我们不能用同样的能量来争取更清洁的环境”，这里“this”指代“学生活动家的能量”。 【12题详解】 根据“The Beginning of Earth Day”部分“They chose April 22, 1970, because it fell between spring break and final exams. This made it easier for college students to take part.”可知，是因为这一天在春假和期末考试之间，更方便大学生参与。 【13题详解】 根据“Earth Day Goes Global”部分“The first Earth Day led to real change. Later that year, the US government created the Environmental Protection Agency. It also passed important laws to clean the air and water and protect endangered animals.”可知，首个地球日之后，美国通过了新的环保法律。 【14题详解】 段落大意题。根据最后“How You Can Help”部分“You don’t have to do big things to make a difference. You can recycle more, save water, or plant a tree. Every small action helps.”可知，不用做大事也能产生影响，回收、节水、种树这样的小行动也有帮助，因此主旨是“小行动也能带来改变”。 【15题详解】 全文从地球日的创立起源、发展到如今的影响展开，核心目的是介绍说明地球日的历史。 B It was going to be a long afternoon. Aunt Jen and Uncle Pete were visiting, which meant I had to play with Amy. I was mixing salt with mud (泥) in the garden. Amy was dancing around like a butterfly. Maybe she could help prepare food for the butterflies. “Okay, Amy,” I said. “You can help spread this salt on the mud.” She took the salt shaker. “Are you growing butterflies like plants, Simon?” “Questions again!” I shook my head. This little girl had a lot to learn—just like me at her age, when my family started planting this butterfly garden. “Some butterflies need salt to stay healthy,” I explained. “Once, a butterfly sat right here on my arm, tasting my salty sweat.” “I want a butterfly to sit on me!” cried Amy. “I want to wear it like a flower!” “Butterflies don’t grow like flowers,” I said. “They fly wherever they like.” “Aww…make them come to me,” Amy said. “They will. They love our garden’s plants, with nice leaves and juice, and this…” I said, pointing to the salty mud. “I don’t like mud,” Amy said. “See, my new pink shoes are muddy—and pink’s my favorite color!” I tried to distract her attention. “Do you know butterflies have favorite colors, too?” “Pink?” Amy asked, starting to smile again. “They like purple better, and orange,” I explained, pointing to the nearby butterfly weed with dark orange flowers. “Look, a butterfly is drinking the juice of the flowers.” I kept talking so she wouldn’t try to catch it. “Butterfly weed is a perfect host plant. Butterflies lay eggs here, which become caterpillars, then chrysalises, and finally beautiful butterflies…” As I spoke, Amy saw a big bee. “Shoo! No bees allowed!” she cried. “Hey, it’s okay. Butterflies and bees both work for flowers,” I told her. “Butterflies work?” she asked. “Yes, listen…” We stayed in the garden until sunset. Then I smelt bread and suggested, “Let’s rest in the hammock (吊床).” As we lay together, Amy noticed a butterfly leaving a flower and cried, “Simon, it’s like a flying flower!” That made me smile. We swung gently back and forth, happy just to watch all the flowers—the ones that fly and those that don’t—until Mom called us in to dinner. 16. Why did Simon mix salt with mud in the garden? A. To feed the butterflies. B. To grow more plants. C. To clean Amy’s shoes. D. To make Amy happy. 17. How did Simon feel when Amy asked him if he were growing butterflies like plants? A. He was satisfied with Amy’s imagination. B. He was surprised at Amy’s rich knowledge. C. He was a bit annoyed but also understanding. D. He was very glad to answer Amy’s question. 18. Why did Simon keep talking when a butterfly came near? A. To teach Amy about bees. B. To show off his knowledge. C. To make Amy laugh. D. To stop Amy from catching it. 19. Which of the following is the right order of the story? A. ①②③④ B. ②④①③ C. ④②③① D. ③④①② 20. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Day in the Garden B. How to Grow Butterflies C. Amy’s Favorite Color D. Simon’s Science Lesson 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. D 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Simon和Amy在花园里度过的下午时光，主要围绕Simon向Amy介绍蝴蝶相关知识以及两人之间的互动展开。 【16题详解】 第四段提到：“Some butterflies need salt to stay healthy,” I explained. “Once, a butterfly sat right here on my arm, tasting my salty sweat.”，说明Simon在花园里把盐和泥混合是为了给蝴蝶提供它们需要的盐分，即喂蝴蝶。 【17题详解】 第四段提到：“Questions again!” I shook my head. This little girl had a lot to learn—just like me at her age, when my family started planting this butterfly garden.，从Simon摇头以及心里想的内容可知，Simon对Amy的问题有点烦，但想到自己小时候也有类似情况，也能理解。 【18题详解】 第十三段提到：“I kept talking so she wouldn’t try to catch it.”说明Simon一直说话是为了阻止Amy去抓那只靠近的蝴蝶。 【19题详解】 通读全文可知，故事的发展顺序为：②是Simon和Amy在花园里，Simon在混合盐和泥；④是Simon向Amy解释蝴蝶需要盐；①是蝴蝶靠近，Simon一直说话阻止Amy抓；③是Simon和Amy躺在吊床上，即②④①③。 【20题详解】 文章主要讲述了Simon和Amy在花园里度过的一个下午时光，A选项“A Day in the Garden”符合文章主旨。 C The rotating (旋转的) lantern, known in Chinese as Zou Ma Deng, is a traditional Chinese folk lantern. It is an early example of the use of heat principles (原理). The lantern had different names throughout history and even spread to other countries. Today, modern versions of Zou Ma Deng can still be found in toy shops. The Kongming lantern also works on the principles of heat. The difference is that it rises into the sky because hot air lifts it up, while the rotating lantern spins (快速旋转) in place because of air convection (对流). ①The frame of the lantern is traditionally made of bamboo or wood. ④ A small fan wheel is fixed above the axis. ⑤ A candle is lit under the fan wheel. The candle light shines on the paper cut-outs and projects their shadows onto the lampshade. ②A thin iron wire (铁丝) is placed in the centre as a turning axis (轴). ⑥ The heat from the candle warms the air. The hot air rises, and cool air replaces it: The moving air pushes the fan blades, causing the central axis to rotate. As the axis turns, the paper cut-outs move round and round, and their shadows appear to come alive. ③In the middle of the axis, two iron wires are crossed. Paper cut-outs of people, horses, and other figures are attached to their ends. The Development of the Rotating Lantern Qin and Han Dynasties The early form of such lanterns probably existed as early as the Qin Dynasty. Historical text describes a tall green jade (玉制) lamp shaped like a dragon in the Xianyang Palace. When it was lit, the dragon’s scales (鳞片) appeared to move. In the Han Dynasty, a craftsman named Ding Huan made a Boshan incense burner (香炉) that used rising hot air to make its decorations turn. Tang and Song Dynasties During the Tang Dynasty, rotating lanterns became very popular at the Lantern Festival. In the Song Dynasty, the lantern was also called the “Horse-Riding Lantern”. Because paper-cutting art developed greatly at this time, the lanterns became more delicate (精美的). In addition, the Lantern Festival celebrations were extended to five days, which helped the lantern spread widely among ordinary people. Ming and Qing Dynasties During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the themes of rotating lanterns continued to expand. New creative forms appeared, such as paper figures made from scallion stalks (葱草). Through trade, the rotating lantern was introduced to Persia (波斯), Europe, Japan and other regions. 21. What makes the central axis turn? A. The candle light. B. The paper cut-outs. C. The moving air. D. The iron wire. 22. How is the rotating lantern different from the Kongming lantern? A. It uses a candle. B. It stays in place. C. It is made of paper. D. It works on heat. 23. Why does the writer talk about the green jade lamp and the incense burner? A. To show how to make a lantern. B. To show the early use of hot air. C. To compare them with other lanterns. D. To explain why they were popular. 24. When did the rotating lantern become popular among common people? A. In the Qin Dynasty. B. In the Han Dynasty. C. In the Tang Dynasty. D. In the Song Dynasty. 25. What do we know about the rotating lantern in the Ming and Qing Dynasties? A. It used new materials. B. It was no longer popular. C. It had no paper cut-outs. D. It was only for the rich. 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. B 24. D 25. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国传统民间灯笼——走马灯，包括其工作原理、历史发展以及与其他灯笼的对比等内容。 【21题详解】 表格第六段提到：“The moving air pushes the fan blades, causing the central axis to rotate”，说明是流动的空气推动扇叶，使中心轴转动。 【22题详解】 第一段提到：“The difference is that it rises into the sky because hot air lifts it up, while the rotating lantern spins (快速旋转) in place because of air convection (对流)”，说明走马灯和孔明灯的不同在于走马灯是原地旋转，而孔明灯是升入天空。 【23题详解】 Qin and Han Dynasties提到“Historical text describes a tall green jade (玉制) lamp... When it was lit, the dragon’s scales (鳞片) appeared to move... Ding Huan made a Boshan incense burner (香炉) that used rising hot air to make its decorations turn”，作者提到玉制灯和香炉是为了展示热空气的早期应用。 【24题详解】 Tang and Song Dynasties提到：“In the Song Dynasty.. the Lantern Festival celebrations were extended to five days, which helped the lantern spread widely among ordinary people”，说明走马灯在宋朝开始在普通民众中流行起来。 【25题详解】 Ming and Qing Dynasties提到：“New creative forms appeared, such as paper figures made from scallion stalks (葱草)”，说明在明清时期，走马灯使用了新的材料。 D 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 First “Bing Chao” After the success of “Cun Chao” in Guizhou Province and “Su Chao” in Jiangsu Province, Heilongjiang Province held its very first ice-and-snow sports super league.

F 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了黑龙江省举办的“冰超”活动。 【26题详解】 第一段引出“冰超”话题后，需先补充活动基本信息，下文介绍了活动的内容，B选项“The Bing Chao took place from December 2025 to March 2026.”介绍“冰超”的举办时间，符合语境。 【27题详解】 前文列举了“冰超”包含的各类冰雪项目，E选项“In fact, the event covered almost every sport and game that can be played on ice or snow.”总结该活动几乎涵盖所有冰雪运动，承接上文，符合逻辑。 【28题详解】 前文说明活动兼具专业赛事与大众趣味项目，后文是主办方对活动的目的阐述，D选项“The main goal of the Bing Chao was to encourage everyone to take part in winter sports.”点明“冰超”的核心目标是鼓励全民参与冰雪运动，承上启下，符合语境。 【29题详解】 后文提及全省年轻选手参赛、发掘青年人才，A选项“In Suihua, a special youth winter sports meet was also held.”提到举办专门的青年冬季运动会，对应下文内容，符合语境。 【30题详解】 后文提到“This pass gave them access to special activities”，此处需要先引出“pass”这一概念，F项“To make the experience even more exciting, participants received a cultural tourism pass.”引出了文化旅游通行证，与后文“This pass”形成指代关系，逻辑连贯。 第Ⅱ卷（满分50分） Ⅲ．短文填空（本题10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 If you look online, you can find earbuds (耳塞式耳机) for less than $10 that offer real-time AI-powered translation of many languages. You just wear them, and they’ll translate what they hear into your ____31____ (choose) language. That means if you’re trying to communicate with a police officer in Spain, a waiter in Malaysia, ____32____ a new friend in Egypt, you’ll be able to understand what they’re saying with the help of the earbuds. Some of these earbuds even say their translations are 99% accurate (准确的). It sounds almost like magic, doesn’t it? Perhaps. But language experts remind us that ____33____ (translate) a language and learning a language are very different things. Language professors Gabriel Guillén and Thor Sawin say that while translation earbuds may be ____34____ (use) in some situations, they can’t replace the benefits of language learning. “The effort of learning a language communicates respect, trust and a willingness to see the world ____35____someone else’s eyes,” they say. “As people continue to move around the world more and more, learning languages allows us to make deeper connections with people from different ____36____ (culture).” Research has already suggested that using AI when we’re writing ____37____ (mean) we exercise our brains less—and the same idea applies to translation earbuds. They give us answers, but we don’t have to work our minds _____38_____ (get) them. Guillén and Sawin say that learning a language isn’t easy, but it is worth the effort. They add, “The very attributes (特质) companies look for in the AI age—like lifelong learning, creative thinking and active listening—____39____ (develop) through language learning.” So it’s easy to look ____40____ those cheap earbuds and think about all the things we could gain by using them. But we should also think: What might we lose by taking the easy way out? 【答案】31. chosen 32. or 33. translating 34. useful 35. through 36. cultures 37. means 38. to get 39. are developed 40. at 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了翻译耳机的便利性以及语言学习的重要性，指出虽然翻译耳机能提供实时的语言翻译，但语言学习带来的尊重、信任和跨文化交流的深度连接是无法被替代的。 【31题详解】 句意：你只需戴上它们，它们就会把听到的内容翻译成你选择的语言。此处修饰名词“language”，应用形容词形式，“choose”的形容词形式为“chosen”，表示“被选中的”。 【32题详解】 句意：这意味着，如果你试图与西班牙的警察、马来西亚的服务员或埃及的新朋友交流，你将能够在耳机的帮助下理解他们在说什么。“a police officer in Spain”“a waiter in Malaysia”和“a new friend in Egypt”是并列关系，此处表示选择关系，用“or”连接。 【33题详解】 句意：但语言专家提醒我们，翻译语言和学习语言是非常不同的事情。此处作主语，应用动名词形式，“translate”的动名词为“translating”。 【34题详解】 句意：语言教授加布里埃尔·吉伦和索尔·萨温表示，虽然翻译耳机在某些情况下可能有用，但它们无法取代语言学习的好处。此处作表语，应用形容词形式，“use”的形容词为“useful”，表示“有用的”。 【35题详解】 句意：学习一门语言的努力传达了尊重、信任和愿意从别人的角度看世界。此处表示“通过别人的眼睛看世界”，应用介词“through”。 【36题详解】 句意：随着人们越来越多地在世界各地流动，学习语言让我们能够与来自不同文化的人建立更深入的联系。“different”后接可数名词复数形式，“culture”的复数为“cultures”。 【37题详解】 句意：研究已经表明，当我们写作时使用人工智能意味着我们锻炼大脑的机会更少——同样的想法也适用于翻译耳机。句子时态是一般现在时，主语“using AI”是动名词短语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，“mean”的第三人称单数为“means”。 【38题详解】 句意：它们给我们答案，但我们不必费尽心思去得到它们。此处表示目的，应用动词不定式作目的状语，“get”的动词不定式为“to get”。 【39题详解】 句意：公司所看重的终身学习、创造性思维和积极倾听等特质，正是通过语言学习培养出来的。主语“attributes”与动词“develop”之间是被动关系，句子时态是一般现在时，应用一般现在时的被动语态，其结构为“am/is/are+过去分词”，主语是复数，be动词用“are”，“develop”的过去分词为“developed”。 【40题详解】 句意：所以，很容易看着那些便宜的耳机，想着使用它们我们能获得的所有东西。此处表示“看着”，应用固定短语“look at”。 Ⅳ．阅读表达（本题9小题，共20分） A 阅读下面短文，完成小题。（共10分） Real Friends Go Both Ways The Cambridge Dictionary’s Word of the Year 2025, “parasocial”, made me think of my college years. When I went to college, I expected to have the kind of social experiences I had seen in some old movies: close friendships with curious readers and late-night discussions about the meaning of life. But social life at my college was full of loud parties, not late-night discussions. Worse, it was a school in the American South with a different set of cultural expectations. A Northern boy like me had a hard time fitting in. It was a lonely time. Reading the work of people who seemed to care about the same things I did helped me feel better. “Insist (坚持) on yourself,” Ralph Waldo Emerson advised. “Never imitate (效仿).” I could almost feel his hand on my shoulder as I stood apart from my schoolmates. I talked with other students, of course. But so often, I felt as if they could never be my friends. With friends, I imagined, there must be a real meeting of minds. Friendships come in many forms. It’s simply easier to find people who share our ideas in books and movies than in the small circle of people nearby. After all, it’s a bigger world out there. We can easily find all sorts of people writing or being written about, photographing or being photographed. We may find people we really admire, who are better-looking or smarter than anyone we know personally. It is easy to want to make friends with the characters in books and movies. Today, though, there is another choice for people who have difficulty forming connections: AI. You can create a friend that you cannot find in real life. AI can take on almost any role. In some ways, it seems like the perfect friend. But these parasocial friendships are always one-sided. Real friendships are reciprocal (相互的). We want support from our friends, and they want support from us. We want to share our news and ideas with our friends, and they want to share theirs with us. It’s comforting to know that you’re not alone in having a certain thought or fear. However, it’s also important to provide that comfort for someone else. So, celebrate your admiration for Ralph Waldo Emerson (or Taylor Swift, as the case may be). But don’t be afraid to have lunch with someone who celebrates their admiration for someone completely different. 41. What kind of social life did the writer expect when entering college? ___________________________________________________________ 42. Why did the writer feel lonely at college? Give one reason. ___________________________________________________________ 43. What does the word “parasocial” in the passage most likely mean? ___________________________________________________________ 44. What does the writer say real friends should do for each other? Give one example from the passage. ___________________________________________________________ 45. Do you think AI can be a “perfect friend”? Why or why not? 要求：总词数控制在20-30． ___________________________________________________________ 【答案】41. He expected close friendships with curious readers and late-night discussions about the meaning of life. 42. Because his college was full of loud parties, not late-night discussions. 43. It means a one-sided friendship, like the connection with characters in books, movies, or AI. 44. They should support each other./ They should share news and ideas. 45. No, because real friendships are reciprocal, but parasocial friendships with AI are always one-sided, as the writer clearly explains in the passage. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了作者在大学期间因文化差异而感到孤独，通过阅读书籍中的人物来获得精神慰藉的经历，并探讨了“parasocial”这一概念，最终指出真正的友谊是相互的，而不是单向的。 【41题详解】 根据第一段“I expected to have the kind of social experiences I had seen in some old movies: close friendships with curious readers and late-night discussions about the meaning of life.”，答案直接提取该信息。 【42题详解】 根据第一段孤独的两个原因，一是“social life at my college was full of loud parties, not late-night discussions”；二是“it was a school in the American South with a different set of cultural expectations... A Northern boy like me had a hard time fitting in.”，任选其一作答即可。 【43题详解】 文章多处暗示“parasocial”的含义。第二段提到通过书籍和电影中的人物获得精神陪伴，第三段提到AI可被创造成朋友，第4段明确指出“these parasocial friendships are always one-sided”。因此“parasocial”最可能指“单向的友谊关系”。 【44题详解】 根据第四段“We want support from our friends, and they want support from us. We want to share our news and ideas with our friends, and they want to share theirs with us. ... it’s also important to provide that comfort for someone else.”，从中提取一个例子即可。 【45题详解】 本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，但需基于文中观点。参考文章“Real friendships are reciprocal”的论点，可以回答“No”；也可以结合“AI can take on almost any role”的特点，回答“Yes”。两种答案言之成理即可。 B 阅读下面短文，完成小题。（共10分） A Skin-Deep Blue Do you like blueberries? If so, the next time you’re about to eat your fill of these delicious berries, take a good look at them. Then ask yourself: Are blueberries really blue? For the most part, blueberries aren’t blue. If you carefully peel the skin off one, you’ll see that the flesh inside is white. If you rub (摩擦) the inside of the skin (皮) on a white piece of paper, you’ll see a reddish-purple color. And if you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, the blue color disappears and the berry looks almost black. But the moment you pick one, it does look blue. What’s going on? Well, there are two ways to create colors. The first is through pigments (天然色素). Pigments show the color of the light they don’t take in. The most common pigment in plants is chlorophyll, a green pigment. Plant leaves appear green because chlorophyll doesn’t take in green light. It sends it out instead while taking in blue and red light. Plants prefer to take in blue light because it has more energy than any other light. In fact, there aren’t any “true blue” pigments in the plant world. The second way to make color is through structural color. This happens when the structure of a surface makes some colors of light look different. Have you ever seen the rainbow colors on a CD? These colors show up because of the tiny spaces between the disk’s thin layers. These spaces only allow certain colors to reach our eyes. Blueberries also create “structural color” in their own way. The berries look black when they’re ripe, but the plants build a thin layer of wax (类似蜡的物质) on their outside. This layer is only four-thousandths of a centimeter thick, but it gives the berries their blue look. The blue color benefits the plants because birds are attracted (吸引) to the rare color. They eat the berries and spread the seeds far and wide. Now your bowl of blueberries suddenly looks a lot more interesting. The fruit is beautiful, but its beauty is only skin deep! 46. 根据短文内容完成读书笔记，每空不超过5个词。 ________ ________ ________ 47. 根据短文内容完成句子。 When you look at a blueberry directly, it is ________. If you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, its color is ________. And if you peel the skin and look at the flesh, it is ________. If you rub the inside of the skin on white paper, you’ll see a reddish-purple color. 48. Why is it good for blueberry plants to have blue color? ___________________________________________________________ 49. Why does the writer say the beauty of blueberries is “only skin deep”? ___________________________________________________________ 【答案】46. ①. Through pigments ②. Through structural color ③. Rainbow colors on a CD 47. ①. blue ②. almost black ③. white 48. Because birds are attracted to the rare blue color and eat the berries, spreading the seeds far and wide. 49. Because the blue color of blueberries is only created by the thin layer of wax on their outside, and the flesh inside is white. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要围绕蓝莓的颜色展开，介绍了植物创造颜色的两种方式，包括通过天然色素和结构颜色，并以蓝莓为例详细说明了结构颜色产生的原因，还阐述了蓝莓呈现蓝色对植物的好处以及蓝莓颜色“徒有其表”的原因。 【46题详解】 ①文章第三段首句“The first is through pigments (天然色素).”表明第一种显色方式是通过色素，所以此处应填“Through pigments”。 ②文章第四段首句“The second way to make color is through structural color.”表明第二种显色方式是通过结构色，故此处填“Through structural color”。 ③文章第四段以“Have you ever seen the rainbow colors on a CD? These colors show up because of the tiny spaces between the disk’s thin layers.”为例说明CD上的彩虹色是结构色，所以此处填“Rainbow colors on a CD”。 【47题详解】 ①文章第二段“But the moment you pick one, it does look blue.”说明直接看蓝莓时它是蓝色的，所以此处填“blue”。 ②文章第二段“And if you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, the blue color disappears and the berry looks almost black.”表明轻轻摩擦蓝莓外部时，它看起来几乎是黑色的，所以此处填“almost black”。 ③文章第二段“If you carefully peel the skin off one, you’ll see that the flesh inside is white.”说明剥去蓝莓皮后，里面的果肉是白色的，所以此处填“white”。 【48题详解】 文章第五段“The blue color benefits the plants because birds are attracted (吸引) to the rare color. They eat the berries and spread the seeds far and wide.”直接说明了蓝莓呈现蓝色对植物的好处，即鸟类被罕见的蓝色吸引，吃掉蓝莓并将种子传播到各处，所以答案为“Because birds are attracted to the rare blue color and eat the berries, spreading the seeds far and wide.” 【49题详解】 文章第五段“The berries look black when they’re ripe, but the plants build a thin layer of wax (类似蜡的物质) on their outside. This layer is only four-thousandths of a centimeter thick, but it gives the berries their blue look. The blue color benefits the plants...”以及第二段“If you carefully peel the skin off one, you’ll see that the flesh inside is white.”说明蓝莓的蓝色只是由外面一层薄薄的蜡创造的，里面的果肉是白色的，所以作者说蓝莓的美“只是表面的”，答案为“Because the blue color of blueberries is only created by the thin layer of wax on their outside, and the flesh inside is white.” Ⅴ．书面表达（共15分） 50. 假如你是Teng Fei，你们学校英语校报正在面向九年级同学举办以“My plan for Senior High School Life”为主题的英语征文比赛，请你写一篇短文投稿。 要求： 1．文中不得出现真实人名、学校等信息； 2．词数80-100。 My plan for Senior High School Life ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 My plan for Senior High School Life Senior high school is a fresh start.

Earth Day Tagged as: Nature & Environment What’s the hashtag? #EarthDay When was it founded? 1970 Who founded it? Gaylord Nelson and Denis Hoyes We first published this page on: Dec 23rd, 2017 We last updated this page: Mar 5th, 2026 Have we missed something? Earth Day: Caring for Our Planet Every year on April 22, people around the world celebrate Earth Day. It is one of the largest environmental movements in the world. Its goal is simple but important: to inspire everyone—individuals, communities, and governments—to take action and help protect our planet. The Beginning of Earth Day The idea for Earth Day started in 1969. A former US senator named Gaylord Nelson saw a terrible oil spill in California. The disaster polluted the ocean and harmed wildlife. Nelson was also inspired by student activists who were protesting for peace. He thought, “Why can’t we use this same energy to fight for a cleaner environment?” Nelson teamed up with a young activist named Denis Hayes. Together, they planned the first Earth Day. They chose April 22, 1970, because it fell between spring break and final exams. This made it easier for college students to take part. The first Earth Day was a huge success. About 20 million Americans joined events across the country. They marched in streets and held rallies to show their support for a healthier planet. For the first time, different environmental groups came together to fight for the same cause. Earth Day Goes Global The first Earth Day led to real change. Later that year, the US government created the Environmental Protection Agency. It also passed important laws to clean the air and water and protect endangered animals. In 1990, Earth Day went global. It reached over 140 countries and 200 million people. Today, more than 1 billion people in nearly 200 countries take part each year. In 2016, Earth Day was especially important. World leaders signed the Paris Agreement, a promise to work together to stop global warming. How You Can Help Earth Day reminds us that our actions matter. The way we live affects the environment, but it also affects our health, our food, and our future. You don’t have to do big things to make a difference. You can recycle more, save water, or plant a tree. Every small action helps. This Earth Day, think about what you can do to care for our planet. Together, we can make a positive change. Word Bank: senator n. 参议员 activist n. 活动家 protest v. 示威 rally n. 集会 11. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指的是)? A.

I was mixing salt with mud (泥) in the garden. Amy was dancing around like a butterfly. Maybe she could help prepare food for the butterflies. “Okay, Amy,” I said. “You can help spread this salt on the mud.” She took the salt shaker. “Are you growing butterflies like plants, Simon?” “Questions again!” I shook my head. This little girl had a lot to learn—just like me at her age, when my family started planting this butterfly garden. “Some butterflies need salt to stay healthy,” I explained. “Once, a butterfly sat right here on my arm, tasting my salty sweat.” “I want a butterfly to sit on me!” cried Amy. “I want to wear it like a flower!” “Butterflies don’t grow like flowers,” I said. “They fly wherever they like.” “Aww…make them come to me,” Amy said. “They will. They love our garden’s plants, with nice leaves and juice, and this…” I said, pointing to the salty mud. “I don’t like mud,” Amy said. “See, my new pink shoes are muddy—and pink’s my favorite color!” I tried to distract her attention. “Do you know butterflies have favorite colors, too?” “Pink?” Amy asked, starting to smile again. “They like purple better, and orange,” I explained, pointing to the nearby butterfly weed with dark orange flowers. “Look, a butterfly is drinking the juice of the flowers.” I kept talking so she wouldn’t try to catch it. “Butterfly weed is a perfect host plant. Butterflies lay eggs here, which become caterpillars, then chrysalises, and finally beautiful butterflies…” As I spoke, Amy saw a big bee. “Shoo! No bees allowed!” she cried. “Hey, it’s okay. Butterflies and bees both work for flowers,” I told her. “Butterflies work?” she asked. “Yes, listen…” We stayed in the garden until sunset. Then I smelt bread and suggested, “Let’s rest in the hammock (吊床).” As we lay together, Amy noticed a butterfly leaving a flower and cried, “Simon, it’s like a flying flower!” That made me smile. We swung gently back and forth, happy just to watch all the flowers—the ones that fly and those that don’t—until Mom called us in to dinner. 16. Why did Simon mix salt with mud in the garden? A. To feed the butterflies. B. To grow more plants. C. To clean Amy’s shoes. D. To make Amy happy. 17. How did Simon feel when Amy asked him if he were growing butterflies like plants? A. He was satisfied with Amy’s imagination. B. He was surprised at Amy’s rich knowledge. C. He was a bit annoyed but also understanding. D. He was very glad to answer Amy’s question. 18. Why did Simon keep talking when a butterfly came near? A. To teach Amy about bees. B. To show off his knowledge. C. To make Amy laugh. D. To stop Amy from catching it. 19. Which of the following is the right order of the story? A. ①②③④ B. ②④①③ C. ④②③① D. ③④①② 20. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Day in the Garden B. How to Grow Butterflies C. Amy’s Favorite Color D. Simon’s Science Lesson C The rotating (旋转的) lantern, known in Chinese as Zou Ma Deng, is a traditional Chinese folk lantern. It is an early example of the use of heat principles (原理). The lantern had different names throughout history and even spread to other countries. Today, modern versions of Zou Ma Deng can still be found in toy shops. The Kongming lantern also works on the principles of heat. The difference is that it rises into the sky because hot air lifts it up, while the rotating lantern spins (快速旋转) in place because of air convection (对流). ①The frame of the lantern is traditionally made of bamboo or wood. ④ A small fan wheel is fixed above the axis. ⑤ A candle is lit under the fan wheel. The candle light shines on the paper cut-outs and projects their shadows onto the lampshade. ②A thin iron wire (铁丝) is placed in the centre as a turning axis (轴). ⑥ The heat from the candle warms the air. The hot air rises, and cool air replaces it: The moving air pushes the fan blades, causing the central axis to rotate. As the axis turns, the paper cut-outs move round and round, and their shadows appear to come alive. ③In the middle of the axis, two iron wires are crossed. Paper cut-outs of people, horses, and other figures are attached to their ends. The Development of the Rotating Lantern Qin and Han Dynasties The early form of such lanterns probably existed as early as the Qin Dynasty. Historical text describes a tall green jade (玉制) lamp shaped like a dragon in the Xianyang Palace. When it was lit, the dragon’s scales (鳞片) appeared to move. In the Han Dynasty, a craftsman named Ding Huan made a Boshan incense burner (香炉) that used rising hot air to make its decorations turn. Tang and Song Dynasties During the Tang Dynasty, rotating lanterns became very popular at the Lantern Festival. In the Song Dynasty, the lantern was also called the “Horse-Riding Lantern”. Because paper-cutting art developed greatly at this time, the lanterns became more delicate (精美的). In addition, the Lantern Festival celebrations were extended to five days, which helped the lantern spread widely among ordinary people. Ming and Qing Dynasties During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the themes of rotating lanterns continued to expand. New creative forms appeared, such as paper figures made from scallion stalks (葱草). Through trade, the rotating lantern was introduced to Persia (波斯), Europe, Japan and other regions. 21. What makes the central axis turn? A. The candle light. B. The paper cut-outs. C. The moving air. D. The iron wire. 22. How is the rotating lantern different from the Kongming lantern? A. It uses a candle. B. It stays in place. C. It is made of paper. D. It works on heat. 23. Why does the writer talk about the green jade lamp and the incense burner? A. To show how to make a lantern. B. To show the early use of hot air. C. To compare them with other lanterns. D. To explain why they were popular. 24. When did the rotating lantern become popular among common people? A. In the Qin Dynasty. B. In the Han Dynasty. C. In the Tang Dynasty. D. In the Song Dynasty. 25. What do we know about the rotating lantern in the Ming and Qing Dynasties? A. It used new materials. B. It was no longer popular. C. It had no paper cut-outs. D. It was only for the rich.

You just wear them, and they’ll translate what they hear into your ____31____ (choose) language. That means if you’re trying to communicate with a police officer in Spain, a waiter in Malaysia, ____32____ a new friend in Egypt, you’ll be able to understand what they’re saying with the help of the earbuds. Some of these earbuds even say their translations are 99% accurate (准确的). It sounds almost like magic, doesn’t it? Perhaps. But language experts remind us that ____33____ (translate) a language and learning a language are very different things. Language professors Gabriel Guillén and Thor Sawin say that while translation earbuds may be ____34____ (use) in some situations, they can’t replace the benefits of language learning. “The effort of learning a language communicates respect, trust and a willingness to see the world ____35____someone else’s eyes,” they say. “As people continue to move around the world more and more, learning languages allows us to make deeper connections with people from different ____36____ (culture).” Research has already suggested that using AI when we’re writing ____37____ (mean) we exercise our brains less—and the same idea applies to translation earbuds. They give us answers, but we don’t have to work our minds _____38_____ (get) them. Guillén and Sawin say that learning a language isn’t easy, but it is worth the effort. They add, “The very attributes (特质) companies look for in the AI age—like lifelong learning, creative thinking and active listening—____39____ (develop) through language learning.” So it’s easy to look ____40____ those cheap earbuds and think about all the things we could gain by using them. But we should also think: What might we lose by taking the easy way out?

When I went to college, I expected to have the kind of social experiences I had seen in some old movies: close friendships with curious readers and late-night discussions about the meaning of life. But social life at my college was full of loud parties, not late-night discussions. Worse, it was a school in the American South with a different set of cultural expectations. A Northern boy like me had a hard time fitting in. It was a lonely time. Reading the work of people who seemed to care about the same things I did helped me feel better. “Insist (坚持) on yourself,” Ralph Waldo Emerson advised. “Never imitate (效仿).” I could almost feel his hand on my shoulder as I stood apart from my schoolmates. I talked with other students, of course. But so often, I felt as if they could never be my friends. With friends, I imagined, there must be a real meeting of minds. Friendships come in many forms. It’s simply easier to find people who share our ideas in books and movies than in the small circle of people nearby. After all, it’s a bigger world out there. We can easily find all sorts of people writing or being written about, photographing or being photographed. We may find people we really admire, who are better-looking or smarter than anyone we know personally. It is easy to want to make friends with the characters in books and movies. Today, though, there is another choice for people who have difficulty forming connections: AI. You can create a friend that you cannot find in real life. AI can take on almost any role. In some ways, it seems like the perfect friend. But these parasocial friendships are always one-sided. Real friendships are reciprocal (相互的). We want support from our friends, and they want support from us. We want to share our news and ideas with our friends, and they want to share theirs with us. It’s comforting to know that you’re not alone in having a certain thought or fear. However, it’s also important to provide that comfort for someone else. So, celebrate your admiration for Ralph Waldo Emerson (or Taylor Swift, as the case may be). But don’t be afraid to have lunch with someone who celebrates their admiration for someone completely different. 41.
