Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm. A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour. “I was eating with my wife and children,” he said, “When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very scared.” Mrs. Mei said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children. “There was no time to take anything,” she said, “A few minutes later, the roof came down.” Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded area and the welfare department (福利机构) brought them food, clothes and shelter. 1. How many homes altogether were damaged in the storm? A. Fourteen. B. Twenty-one. C. Twenty-nine. D. Thirty-six. 2. Where was Mr. Tan when the storm first began? A. He was in bed. B. He was inside the house. C. He was outside the house. D. He was on the roof. 3. The underlined word “shelter” in this passage means ____ . A. something to eat B. something to wear C. somewhere to study D. somewhere to stay 4. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage? A. A Terrible Storm B. A Lucky Woman C. Good Soldiers D. Clever People B The other day, I found my cousin sitting on the back steps looking closely at the birds eating around in my backyard. I sat down next to him and asked him what was wrong. He said that every year, __1__ he felt the same feeling: the back-to-school blues. Well, you must know this feeling — that uncomfortable mix of sadness and worries when summer ends and another school year begins. No more lazy mornings or hanging out with friends until dinnertime. Instead, you have early mornings and piles of homework. I told him that I was always afraid of the first day back in the past, too. I’d look at my schoolbag in the corner of my room, thinking that it were a terrible machine ready to eat up all my fun. I’ll never forget one summer when my family moved to a new city. When September arrived, I didn’t know anyone at my new school. Just the thought of walking into a classroom full of strangers had my heart twist into knots. Then something that I didn’t hope for happened. On the first day, my class teacher gave us a small task. She asked us to write down one thing we were excited about for the school year. At first, __2__ I rolled my eyes. Excited? About school? Are you serious? But it was only one thing, __3__ right? I knew the school had an art club. I always loved drawing, so maybe I could try that. That one small idea changed something in me. I got to know that I didn’t have to love everything about school. (Honestly, who does?) I just had to find one thing that I could look forward to. I joined the art club. There, __4__ I met someone with the same interests as me, and we became fast friends. Suddenly, school wasn’t just about boring homework and early mornings. There were happy spaces in between, too. Only you can create your happy spaces. As you head into a new school year, find something that makes you excited. It might be something very small, but even that tiny light can affect your life in a good and surprising way… 1. When did the writer see her cousin looking at the birds eating around in her garden?

C In one high school biology class, almost four in every 10 low-income students would fail the course. But with some simple practices to reduce test anxiety (焦虑), researchers cut that number in half. Christopher Rozek is a psychologist at Stanford University. He studies how stress and other things can affect learning. Reducing test anxiety had raised test scores in several small studies. So Rozek and his team decided to test it on a larger scale. Rozek’s group wanted to know if short stress-relief activities before an exam would affect a student’s grade. They tested 1,175 biology students at a large, public high school in Illinois. At this school, a little more than half of low-income students fail their biology finals. Only 6 percent of high-income students fail. They divide the students into four groups. One group spent 10 minutes free-writing about their fears. This was designed to clear the kids’ heads so that they could then focus on the exam. Another group read how the body responds to stress and how these can actually help with attention. Then they answered reading comprehension questions. Students in a third group did both of these reading and writing activities. A fourth group, called the active control group, read a passage that told them to just ignore their worries. Afterward, the students all took their final test in biology. A total of 205 low-income students did one or both stress-relieving activities. On average, these students scored higher on the exam than their classmates in the control group. Indeed, 82 percent of them passed the class. Only 61 percent of the lower-income students in the control group passed. It didn’t seem to matter whether a student read or free-wrote about managing stress, or both. All methods worked equally well at helping students pass their tests. Nearly all the high-income kids passed the class whether they did the activities or not. These students may be less nervous before exams. Or they may have already learned ways to deal with the stress, Rozek says. 1. The control group in the study refers to the students who ____ . A. did the free-writing about their fears B. were not affected by their exam stress C. were controlled to be active in exams D. received no stress-relieving training 2. We can learn from the study that ____ . A. all the stress-relieving activities had a positive effect on the low-income students B. the high-income students performed as well as the low-income students C. all the low-income students who did stress-relieving activities passed the exam D. Few low-income students who did not do stress-relieving activities passed the exam 3. Why did the stress-relieving activities make no difference for the high-income students? A. Because they were very rich. B. Because they had possibly been trained. C. Because they were not nervous. D. Because they had studied the subject well. 4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To present the result of a research. B. To draw teachers’ attention to exam stress. C. To introduce a psychologist at Stanford University. D. To encourage students to do stress-relieving activities. D From May to November, six beach houses have fallen down in North Carolina’s Outer Banks — a troubling sign of how erosion (侵蚀) continues to put a toll on the state’s coastal villages. The most recent collapse (倒塌) happened between last Thursday and Friday after a storm caused powerful waves along Rodanthe. The house was empty, and officials have been in contact with the house owner. Less than a mile away, three other homes had fallen down in September. Since 2020, a total of 11 houses in the area have been washed away into the ocean. Cape Hatteras National Seashore said strong winds, large waves, as well as rising sea levels — which are caused by climate change—are causing beaches on the Outer Banks to wash away. “Many buildings close to the beach in Rodanthe are either partially or fully covered with ocean water on a regular basis,” the Seashore said. It’s a problem faced by coastal communities around the country. In North Carolina, over 750 homes along the state’s beaches are considered in danger from erosion, according to an August report released by the state’s Department of Environmental Quality and Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Erosion in these coastal villages affects tourism and destroys sea turtles’ home, and when homes fall down, it leaves ruins (废墟). The situation is expected to worsen as a result of rising sea levels and more coastal storms. National Seashore officials have warned owners of unsafe houses to either strengthen their home’s supports or move to a safer location if possible. 1. What does the underlined phrase “put a toll on” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Cause damage to. B. Give way to. C. Bring more people to. D. Make more contributions to. 2. What can we know about the most recent collapse? A. Six houses were washed away. B. It happened because a storm hit. C. It resulted in many people missing. D. Police failed to contact the house owner. 3. What might put the beach houses in danger? A. The daily effects of winds and waves. B. The loss of wildlife’s home. C. The ruins of houses left on beaches. D. The weak structure of the houses. 4. What should be done according to the local officials? A. Take measures to control rising sea levels. B. Solve the problem by protecting the ecosystem. C. Reduce the effect on tourism by clearing the ruins. D. Strengthen the house structure or move to new places. 5. What is the best title for the text? A. New Houses were Built for Safety B. Tourism Worsens in North Carolina C. Rising Seas Put Coastal Towns at Risk D. Climate Change Leads to Stronger Storms 四、根据括号中所给的汉语、句意、英文释义或首字母提示写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 1. We visited our teacher in the school _____________ (a room where people work) to ask for help with the project. 2.

Our planet is full of amazing living things, from the fastest cheetah to the tiniest ant. But these plants and animals don’t live alone. They are all connected in a web of life called an ecosystem. Every living thing plays a role in this network. For example, bees and butterflies are very important for pollination (传粉). They carry pollen from flower to flower. __1__________ Without this action, many plants couldn’t make fruits or seeds. Bees also communicate with each other to find food and then store sweet honey in their honeycomb (蜂巢). __2__________ They help to break down dead plants and animals, cleaning the forest and making the soil rich. This process is like magic — it removes decaying (腐烂) matter, and at the same time, creates nutrient-rich (富营养的) food for living plants. This amazing cycle shows how everything in nature is connected—even death gives life to new growth. Sadly, human activities sometimes break these connections. When we cut down too many trees like bamboo or ginkgo, animals lose their homes. Forests that used to be home to many frogs and butterflies become quiet. __3__________ For this reason, it is our duty to protect their homes and understand the importance of every life. So, what can we do? We can start small. We can protect the environment by planting trees or even growing flowers like roses in our gardens. __4__________ During the walk, we can imagine the complex (复杂的) connections between all the living things we see. __5__________ When we understand that we are also a part of this ecosystem, we can learn to get on well with nature. Let’s promise to be good friends to our planet and all its wonderful living things. A. Actually, even the smallest insect can help the ecosystem. B. Everything perfects the ecosystem to help our planet thrive. C. Protecting nature means protecting ourselves in the long run. D. Other small living things, like mushrooms, also play a part. E. This loss shows us the harm of an unhealthy ecosystem. F. We can also take a walk in nature to learn more about it. G. In fact, over 75 percent of flowering plants need help with pollination. 六、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。 It was about two o’clock in the early morning.

He shouted __6__________ help, but no one came. He started to move slowly through the dark. __7__________ (luck), there was just enough space for him __8__________ (move). Hours __9__________ (late), Timmy heard some noise above him. He screamed, “Help? Please help? I __10__________ (be) here?” People heard him. They quickly moved away the bricks. Timmy was safe! 七、阅读与表达。 Last night, an amazing thing happened to Daisy. She was in the bathroom of her flat. As usual, Daisy was brushing her teeth and ready to go to bed. The tap was on. Water was coming into the sink. “Turn that tap off,” a voice said loudly. Daisy looked round, but saw no one. “Turn that tap off. You’re wasting water,” the voice sounded again. “Who…who are you?” “I’m water. It’s not easy for me to get here. Do you know where I’m from?” “From the tap, of course.” said Daisy. “Yes, yes, but before that?” the voice said. “24 days ago, I was in a cloud in Jiangxi, enjoying the sights comfortably. Then the cloud dropped me into a stream and I ran down the mountain into the Yangtze River. It carried me to a lake. I stayed there for a few days, and then I travelled a long way and ran into the Huangpu River. Then it was time to get cleaned up.” “Cleaned up?” Daisy was surprised. “Yes. I was dirty after my journey so they took me to a water factory. They gave me a cleaning and added a few chemicals (化学品) to me. Then I travelled in the pipes under the streets. I waited there until you called me, and here I am.” Daisy said, “So this is the end of your journey.” “No. When you’ve finished with me, I’ll go to a sewage plant (污水处理厂). Then they’ll pour me into the river and I’ll be back in the sea again.” “Again?” “Yes. That’s where I came from in the first place. Remember not to waste me or make me dangerously dirty. I’m precious like gold. See you.” “Wait a minute. What do you mean by that?” But there was no answer. The water left. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过5个词。 1.

Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm. A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour. “I was eating with my wife and children,” he said, “When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very scared.” Mrs. Mei said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children. “There was no time to take anything,” she said, “A few minutes later, the roof came down.” Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded area and the welfare department (福利机构) brought them food, clothes and shelter. 1. How many homes altogether were damaged in the storm? A. Fourteen. B. Twenty-one. C. Twenty-nine. D. Thirty-six. 2. Where was Mr. Tan when the storm first began? A. He was in bed. B. He was inside the house. C. He was outside the house. D. He was on the roof. 3. The underlined word “shelter” in this passage means ____ . A. something to eat B. something to wear C. somewhere to study D. somewhere to stay 4. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage? A. A Terrible Storm B. A Lucky Woman C.

Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs.（上周五，一场风暴席卷了新界的两个村庄，摧毁了14所房屋。另有7间房屋损坏严重，房主不得不离开，另有15间房屋的窗户或屋顶破碎。）”可知：受损的房屋总和是“fourteen”+“Seven”+“fifteen”=36。故选D。 2. 推理判断题。根据第3段的句子“When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very scared.（当我们听到一声巨响时。几分钟后，我们的房子倒在了我们身上。我们尽了最大的努力爬出去，但后来我看到我的一个孩子不见了。我回到屋里，发现他安然无恙，但非常害怕。）” 可知，当时他在房子里。故选B。 3. 词义猜测题。从并列的这几项“brought them food, clothes and shelter”和“the welfare department (福利机构)”可知，受灾的人们无家可归，除了食物、衣服之外，福利机构提供的还有住的地方。故选D。 4. 主旨大意题。本文讲述了一场严重的暴风雨造成的危害。所以用A项“A Terrible Storm”作为本文的题目与文章主题相符合。故选A项。 B The other day, I found my cousin sitting on the back steps looking closely at the birds eating around in my backyard. I sat down next to him and asked him what was wrong. He said that every year, __1__ he felt the same feeling: the back-to-school blues. Well, you must know this feeling — that uncomfortable mix of sadness and worries when summer ends and another school year begins. No more lazy mornings or hanging out with friends until dinnertime. Instead, you have early mornings and piles of homework. I told him that I was always afraid of the first day back in the past, too.

Then something that I didn’t hope for happened. On the first day, my class teacher gave us a small task. She asked us to write down one thing we were excited about for the school year. At first, __2__ I rolled my eyes. Excited? About school? Are you serious? But it was only one thing, __3__ right? I knew the school had an art club. I always loved drawing, so maybe I could try that. That one small idea changed something in me. I got to know that I didn’t have to love everything about school. (Honestly, who does?) I just had to find one thing that I could look forward to. I joined the art club. There, __4__ I met someone with the same interests as me, and we became fast friends. Suddenly, school wasn’t just about boring homework and early mornings. There were happy spaces in between, too. Only you can create your happy spaces. As you head into a new school year, find something that makes you excited. It might be something very small, but even that tiny light can affect your life in a good and surprising way… 1. When did the writer see her cousin looking at the birds eating around in her garden? A. One day in July. B. In late August. C. In mid-September. D. On September 1. 2. What does the underlined words mean in Paragraph3? A. She was unwilling to come to the new school. B.

But with some simple practices to reduce test anxiety (焦虑), researchers cut that number in half. Christopher Rozek is a psychologist at Stanford University. He studies how stress and other things can affect learning. Reducing test anxiety had raised test scores in several small studies. So Rozek and his team decided to test it on a larger scale. Rozek’s group wanted to know if short stress-relief activities before an exam would affect a student’s grade. They tested 1,175 biology students at a large, public high school in Illinois. At this school, a little more than half of low-income students fail their biology finals. Only 6 percent of high-income students fail. They divide the students into four groups. One group spent 10 minutes free-writing about their fears. This was designed to clear the kids’ heads so that they could then focus on the exam. Another group read how the body responds to stress and how these can actually help with attention. Then they answered reading comprehension questions. Students in a third group did both of these reading and writing activities. A fourth group, called the active control group, read a passage that told them to just ignore their worries. Afterward, the students all took their final test in biology. A total of 205 low-income students did one or both stress-relieving activities. On average, these students scored higher on the exam than their classmates in the control group. Indeed, 82 percent of them passed the class. Only 61 percent of the lower-income students in the control group passed. It didn’t seem to matter whether a student read or free-wrote about managing stress, or both. All methods worked equally well at helping students pass their tests. Nearly all the high-income kids passed the class whether they did the activities or not. These students may be less nervous before exams. Or they may have already learned ways to deal with the stress, Rozek says. 1. The control group in the study refers to the students who ____ . A. did the free-writing about their fears B. were not affected by their exam stress C. were controlled to be active in exams D. received no stress-relieving training 2. We can learn from the study that ____ . A. all the stress-relieving activities had a positive effect on the low-income students B. the high-income students performed as well as the low-income students C. all the low-income students who did stress-relieving activities passed the exam D. Few low-income students who did not do stress-relieving activities passed the exam 3. Why did the stress-relieving activities make no difference for the high-income students? A. Because they were very rich. B. Because they had possibly been trained. C. Because they were not nervous. D. Because they had studied the subject well. 4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To present the result of a research. B. To draw teachers’ attention to exam stress. C. To introduce a psychologist at Stanford University. D. To encourage students to do stress-relieving activities. 【答案】DABA 【解析】 1. 题干意思：该研究中的对照组指的是那些 ____ 的学生。A. 进行了关于他们恐惧的自由写作；B. 未受到考试压力的影响；C. 在考试中保持活跃；D. 未接受过减压培训。根据文章第3段“他们把学生分成四组。一组花 10 分钟自由书写自己的恐惧。这样做的目的是让学生们清空思绪，以便之后能专心考试。另一组阅读了身体对压力的反应以及这些反应实际上如何有助于集中注意力的内容，然后回答阅读理解问题。第三组的学生既做了阅读又做了写作活动。第四组被称为积极对照组，阅读了一段告诉他们只需忽略忧虑的内容。”可知，该研究是针对接受过减压训练的学生，因此研究中的对照组是指没有接受减压训练的学生。故选D。 2. 题干意思：我们从这项研究中可以了解到：____ 。A. 所有的减压活动对低收入家庭的学生都有积极影响；B. 高收入家庭的学生和低收入家庭的学生表现一样好；C. 所有参加减压活动的低收入家庭学生都通过了考试；D. 几乎没有未参加减压活动的低收入家庭学生通过考试。根据第4段“随后，学生们都参加了生物学的期末考试。共有 205 名低收入家庭的学生参与了一项或两项减压活动。这些学生在考试中的平均成绩高于对照组的同学。实际上，他们中有 82% 的人通过了这门课。而对照组中低收入家庭的学生只有 61% 通过了考试。似乎不论学生是阅读还是自由写作来应对压力，或者两者都做，所有方法在帮助学生通过考试方面效果都一样好。”可知，所有的减压活动对低收入家庭的学生都有积极的影响。故选A。 3. 题干意思：为什么减压活动对高收入家庭的学生没有效果？A. 因为他们非常富有；B. 因为他们可能已经受过训练；C. 因为他们并不紧张；D. 因为他们已经学好了这门课。根据最后一段“几乎所有高收入家庭的孩子无论是否参加这些活动都通过了这门课。罗泽克说，这些学生在考试前可能没那么紧张。或者他们可能已经学会了应对压力的方法。”可知，这些学生受过训练，因此不会太过紧张，能较好地发挥。故选B。 4. 题干意思：作者撰写这篇文章的目的是什么？A. 展示一项研究的结果；B. 提醒教师关注考试压力；C. 介绍斯坦福大学的一位心理学家；D. 鼓励学生进行减压活动。根据第2段“Christopher Rozek is a psychologist at Stanford University. He studies how stress and other things can affect learning.（克里斯托弗·罗泽克是斯坦福大学的一位心理学家。他研究压力和其他因素如何影响学习。）”可知，本文讲述的是压力对于学习的影响的研究结果。故选A。 D From May to November, six beach houses have fallen down in North Carolina’s Outer Banks — a troubling sign of how erosion (侵蚀) continues to put a toll on the state’s coastal villages. The most recent collapse (倒塌) happened between last Thursday and Friday after a storm caused powerful waves along Rodanthe. The house was empty, and officials have been in contact with the house owner. Less than a mile away, three other homes had fallen down in September. Since 2020, a total of 11 houses in the area have been washed away into the ocean. Cape Hatteras National Seashore said strong winds, large waves, as well as rising sea levels — which are caused by climate change—are causing beaches on the Outer Banks to wash away. “Many buildings close to the beach in Rodanthe are either partially or fully covered with ocean water on a regular basis,” the Seashore said. It’s a problem faced by coastal communities around the country. In North Carolina, over 750 homes along the state’s beaches are considered in danger from erosion, according to an August report released by the state’s Department of Environmental Quality and Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Erosion in these coastal villages affects tourism and destroys sea turtles’ home, and when homes fall down, it leaves ruins (废墟). The situation is expected to worsen as a result of rising sea levels and more coastal storms. National Seashore officials have warned owners of unsafe houses to either strengthen their home’s supports or move to a safer location if possible. 1. What does the underlined phrase “put a toll on” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Cause damage to. B. Give way to. C. Bring more people to. D. Make more contributions to. 2. What can we know about the most recent collapse? A. Six houses were washed away. B. It happened because a storm hit. C. It resulted in many people missing. D. Police failed to contact the house owner. 3. What might put the beach houses in danger? A. The daily effects of winds and waves. B. The loss of wildlife’s home. C. The ruins of houses left on beaches. D. The weak structure of the houses. 4. What should be done according to the local officials? A. Take measures to control rising sea levels. B. Solve the problem by protecting the ecosystem. C. Reduce the effect on tourism by clearing the ruins. D. Strengthen the house structure or move to new places. 5. What is the best title for the text? A. New Houses were Built for Safety B. Tourism Worsens in North Carolina C. Rising Seas Put Coastal Towns at Risk D. Climate Change Leads to Stronger Storms 【答案】ABADC 【解析】 1. 题干意思：第一段中划线短语“put a toll on”是什么意思？A. 造成损害；B. 让路；C. 吸引更多人前来；D. 为……做出更多贡献。根据第1“From May to November, six beach houses have fallen down in North Carolina’s Outer Banks — a troubling sign of how erosion (侵蚀) continues to put a toll on the state’s coastal villages.（从五月到十一月，北卡罗来纳州外滩群岛已有六座海滨别墅倒塌——这一令人不安的迹象表明，侵蚀现象正继续给该州的沿海村庄造成损害。）”可知，侵蚀对沿海村庄造成了损害，故推知put a toll on应该是“造成损害”的意思。故选A。 2. 题干意思：关于最近的坍塌事件，我们能了解到哪些情况？A. 六座房屋被冲走；B. 这是由于一场风暴的袭击而发生的；C. 它导致许多人失踪；D. 警方未能联系到房主。根据第2段“最近的一次坍塌发生在上周四到周五之间，此前一场风暴在罗丹河沿岸引发了巨浪。房子是空的，官员们已经与房主取得了联系。在不到一英里的地方，9月份还有另外三座房屋倒塌。自2020年以来，该地区共有11座房屋被冲进了海洋。”可知，最近的一次倒塌是因为一场风暴的袭击。故选B。 3. 题干意思：什么可能会使海滨别墅处于危险之中？A. 风和海浪的日常影响；B. 失去野生动物的家园；C. 海滩上留下的房屋废墟；D. 房屋结构薄弱。根据第3段“Cape Hatteras National Seashore said strong winds, large waves, as well as rising sea levels — which are caused by climate change—are causing beaches on the Outer Banks to wash away.（哈特拉斯角国家海岸表示，强风、大浪以及海平面上升——这是由气候变化引起的——正在导致外滩的海滩被冲走。）”可知，强风、巨浪以及气候变化导致的海平面上升，正使外滩群岛的海滩逐渐被冲蚀。故选A。 4. 题干意思：根据当地官员的指示，应该做些什么？A. 采取措施控制海平面上升；B. 通过保护生态系统来解决问题；C. 通过清理废墟来减少对旅游业的影响；D. 加强房屋结构或搬到新的地方。根据最后一段“National Seashore officials have warned owners of unsafe houses to either strengthen their home’s supports or move to a safer location if possible.（国家海岸官员警告不安全房屋的业主，如果可能的话，要么加强房屋的支撑，要么搬到更安全的地方。）”可知，官方建议加固房屋或搬迁。故选D。 5. 题干意思：这篇文章最好的标题是什么？A. 新建房屋是为了安全；B. 北卡罗莱纳州旅游业恶化；C. 海平面上升使沿海城镇处于危险之中；D. 气候变化导致更强的风暴。根据倒数第二段“In North Carolina, over 750 homes along the state’s beaches are considered in danger from erosion, according to an August report released by the state’s Department of Environmental Quality and Cape Hatteras National Seashore.（根据该州环境质量部和哈特拉斯角国家海岸8月份发布的一份报告，在北卡罗来纳州，该州海滩沿岸的750多所房屋被认为有受到侵蚀的危险。）”和“The situation is expected to worsen as a result of rising sea levels and more coastal storms.（由于海平面上升和更多的沿海风暴，情况预计会恶化。）”结合全文可知，本文主要介绍了北卡罗来纳州外滩群岛因海平面上升、强风和海浪侵蚀而导致海滩房屋接连倒塌的问题，故选项C“海平面上升使沿海城镇面临风险”。符合题意。故选C。 四、根据括号中所给的汉语、句意、英文释义或首字母提示写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 1.

Our planet is full of amazing living things, from the fastest cheetah to the tiniest ant. But these plants and animals don’t live alone. They are all connected in a web of life called an ecosystem. Every living thing plays a role in this network. For example, bees and butterflies are very important for pollination (传粉). They carry pollen from flower to flower. __1__________ Without this action, many plants couldn’t make fruits or seeds. Bees also communicate with each other to find food and then store sweet honey in their honeycomb (蜂巢). __2__________ They help to break down dead plants and animals, cleaning the forest and making the soil rich. This process is like magic — it removes decaying (腐烂) matter, and at the same time, creates nutrient-rich (富营养的) food for living plants. This amazing cycle shows how everything in nature is connected—even death gives life to new growth. Sadly, human activities sometimes break these connections. When we cut down too many trees like bamboo or ginkgo, animals lose their homes. Forests that used to be home to many frogs and butterflies become quiet. __3__________ For this reason, it is our duty to protect their homes and understand the importance of every life. So, what can we do? We can start small. We can protect the environment by planting trees or even growing flowers like roses in our gardens. __4__________ During the walk, we can imagine the complex (复杂的) connections between all the living things we see. __5__________ When we understand that we are also a part of this ecosystem, we can learn to get on well with nature. Let’s promise to be good friends to our planet and all its wonderful living things. A. Actually, even the smallest insect can help the ecosystem. B. Everything perfects the ecosystem to help our planet thrive. C. Protecting nature means protecting ourselves in the long run. D. Other small living things, like mushrooms, also play a part. E. This loss shows us the harm of an unhealthy ecosystem. F. We can also take a walk in nature to learn more about it. G. In fact, over 75 percent of flowering plants need help with pollination. 【答案】GDEFC 【解析】 1. 细节推理题。根据前句“For example, bees and butterflies are very important for pollination (传粉). They carry pollen from flower to flower.（例如，蜜蜂和蝴蝶在传粉过程中扮演着非常重要的角色。它们将花粉从一朵花带到另一朵花。）”以及后句“Without this action, many plants couldn’t make fruits or seeds.（如果没有这种行为，许多植物就无法结出果实或种子。）”可知，这里应是补充说明开花植物对传粉的需求，选项G“In fact, over 75 percent of flowering plants need help with pollination.（事实上，超过75%的开花植物需要传粉帮助。）”符合语境，强调传粉的重要性，与前后文内容对应，故选G。 2. 细节推理题。根据后句“They help to break down dead plants and animals, cleaning the forest and making the soil rich.（它们有助于分解死去的动植物，清理森林，使土壤变得肥沃。）”可知，这里应是引出蘑菇等小型生物的作用，选项D“Other small living things, like mushrooms, also play a part.（其他小型生物，比如蘑菇，也发挥着作用。）”符合语境，引出后文对蘑菇作用的介绍，与后文内容对应，故选D。 3. 细节推理题。根据前句“When we cut down too many trees like bamboo or ginkgo, animals lose their homes. Forests that used to be home to many frogs and butterflies become quiet.（当我们砍伐了太多的树木，如竹子或银杏，动物们就会失去家园。曾经是许多青蛙和蝴蝶家园的森林变得静悄悄的。）”可知，这里应是说明生态系统被破坏的危害，选项E“This loss shows us the harm of an unhealthy ecosystem.（这种损失向我们展示了不健康生态系统的危害。）”符合语境，总结砍伐树木带来的危害，与前文情况对应，故选E。 4. 细节推理题。根据前句“We can protect the environment by planting trees or even growing flowers like roses in our gardens.（我们可以通过植树或者在自家花园里种植像玫瑰这样的花卉来保护环境。）”以及后句“During the walk, we can imagine the complex (复杂的) connections between all the living things we see.（在散步的过程中，我们能够想象出我们所见到的所有生物之间错综复杂的相互联系。）”可知，这里应是提出亲近自然的另一种方式，选项F“We can also take a walk in nature to learn more about it.（我们也可以在大自然中散步，更多地了解它。）”符合语境，补充保护自然的具体行动，与后文散步内容对应，故选F。 5. 细节推理题。根据后句“When we understand that we are also a part of this ecosystem, we can learn to get on well with nature.（当我们明白自己也是这个生态系统的一部分时，我们就能学会与大自然和谐相处了。）”可知，这里应是强调保护自然的意义，选项C“Protecting nature means protecting ourselves in the long run.（从长远来看，保护自然意味着保护我们自己。）”符合语境，总结保护自然的重要性，与前后文内容对应，故选C。 六、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。 It was about two o’clock in the early morning.

As usual, Daisy was brushing her teeth and ready to go to bed. The tap was on. Water was coming into the sink. “Turn that tap off,” a voice said loudly. Daisy looked round, but saw no one. “Turn that tap off. You’re wasting water,” the voice sounded again. “Who…who are you?” “I’m water. It’s not easy for me to get here. Do you know where I’m from?” “From the tap, of course.” said Daisy. “Yes, yes, but before that?” the voice said. “24 days ago, I was in a cloud in Jiangxi, enjoying the sights comfortably. Then the cloud dropped me into a stream and I ran down the mountain into the Yangtze River. It carried me to a lake. I stayed there for a few days, and then I travelled a long way and ran into the Huangpu River. Then it was time to get cleaned up.” “Cleaned up?” Daisy was surprised. “Yes. I was dirty after my journey so they took me to a water factory. They gave me a cleaning and added a few chemicals (化学品) to me. Then I travelled in the pipes under the streets. I waited there until you called me, and here I am.” Daisy said, “So this is the end of your journey.” “No. When you’ve finished with me, I’ll go to a sewage plant (污水处理厂). Then they’ll pour me into the river and I’ll be back in the sea again.” “Again?” “Yes. That’s where I came from in the first place. Remember not to waste me or make me dangerously dirty. I’m precious like gold. See you.” “Wait a minute. What do you mean by that?” But there was no answer. The water left. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过5个词。 1.

Then the cloud dropped me into a stream and I ran down the mountain into the Yangtze River.（24 天前，我在江西的一片云彩里悠然自得地欣赏着风景。然后云彩把我丢进了一条小溪，我顺着山势一路奔流，最终汇入了长江。）”可知水从一朵云流向水龙头需要24天。故答案为For 24 days。 2. 细节理解题。根据“Then the cloud dropped me into a stream and I ran down the mountain into the Yangtze River. It carried me to a lake.（然后那朵云把我丢进了一条小溪，我顺着山势一路奔流，汇入了长江。江水又把我带到了一个湖泊。）”可知扬子江把水带到湖里。故答案为The Yangtze River。 3. 细节理解题。根据“I was dirty after my journey so they took me to a water factory. They gave me a cleaning and added a few chemicals (化学品) to me.（我旅行之后身上脏兮兮的，所以他们把我带到了一家水厂。他们给我做了清洗，还往我身上加了些化学物质。）”故答案为By adding a few chemicals。 4. 细节理解题。根据“Then they’ll pour me into the river and I’ll be back in the sea again.（然后他们会把我倒入河中，这样我就又能回到海里了。）”和“That’s where I came from in the first place.（我最初就是从那里来的。）”可知水最初来自大海。故答案为From the sea。 5. 细节推理题。根据“Remember not to waste me or make me dangerously dirty. I’m precious like gold.（记住不要浪费我，也不要让我变得非常脏。我像黄金一样珍贵。）”可知我们应该节约用水。故答案为We should save the water。 第 1 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
