Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给) Five tips for less plastic The world has a plastic problem and it is increasing. Scientists are working to find a long-term solution by making plastic more biodegradable (可生物降解的). But in the meantime, here are five things you can do to r 1 plastic waste now. 1. Stop using plastic bags. Instead, take your own reusable shopping bag to the store. People use a trillion plastic bags worldwide every year. About 10 percent are used in the United States alone. That’s almost one bag per American per day, but the a 2 Dane (丹麦人) uses four single-use bags per year. In 1993, Denmark was the first country to place a tax on plastic bags. Today, other countries (such as Chile, Kenya and New Zealand) make customers pay for plastic bags, or have banned (禁止) them c 3 .                 2. Skip the straw. Today, around 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world’s beaches. So when you order a drink, say “no” to the plastic straw, or bring your own reusable one. In 2018, Seattle became the first major U.S. city to ban plastic straws and many other cities are set to follow its e 4 . 3. Don’t use plastic bottles. Buy a reusable bottle and fill it with any t 5 of drink you like. Some cities have already banned bottled water. However, people still buy nearly a million plastic bottles every minute in the world. 4. A 6 plastic packaging. Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Don’t buy fruit or vegetables in plastic packaging. In the U.K, leaders are calling for supermarkets to have plastic-free areas. They also want to tax plastic take-out containers. 5. Recycle. We can’t recycle all plastic items, but it is p 7 to recycle most bottles and milk or juice cartons. Today, Norway recycles 97 percent of its plastic bottles. How? Machines at most supermarkets take the bottles and give a refund of up to 2.5 kroner (32 cents) per bottle. Passage 2.

He encountered his first sea turtle during a family vacation to Hawaii when he was four years old. “My uncle was a marine biologist,” he explains. “He showed me how sea turtles are graceful, resilient, and ancient creatures.” After graduating from university, David worked as a marine conservationist at the Coastal Research Center to pursue his d 8 of protecting sea turtles. What does a sea turtle conservationist do? “You spend hours m 9 heavy equipment like oxygen tanks and tracking devices,” David mentions while adjusting his diving mask. “This job r 10 both physical strength and scientific knowledge.” David monitors twelve sea turtle nests along the coastline. The workload is immense, so he receives a 11 from two volunteers from the local university. His daily routine begins with checking each nest and recording data, which is tedious but meaningful. “It’s not the most exciting part,” David admits, “but I appreciate the discipline it teaches me.” Feeding the sea turtles is crucial to his work. Each adult turtle consumes about 5 pounds of jellyfish daily. David also provides enrichment by creating artificial currents in the rehabilitation tanks. Additionally, he monitors their health and conducts research daily. He’s continually surprised by how i 12 they are some can navigate thousands of miles using Earth’s magnetic field. When giving educational talks, David emphasizes how each turtle is unique. “To most people, they all look s 13 ,” he says, “but I can identify individuals by their shell patterns, swimming styles, and even personalities.” David not only protects the turtles in captivity but also c 14 for wild populations. He collaborates with international organizations to reduce plastic pollution in oceans. Every World Sea Turtle Day, he organizes beach clean-ups and fundraising events for the Marine Conservation Society. “My greatest joy is simply observing sea turtles in their natural habitat,” David shares. “I love introducing visitors to these magnificent creatures and witnessing their awe-inspired expressions.” Passage 3.

The officials said they were moving forward with a citywide garbage-sorting plan. The plan won’t come into effect until July 1. However, Li Wei, along with the other 238 families who live in his neighbourhood, has been living with a similar system for years. Here, he’d like to talk about their e 15 . In October 2018, the government chose their neighbourhood to be part of a pilot (试点) program for garbage sorting. To help the program run s 16 , they set up a volunteer team. He is one of the volunteers. Several of them, however, doubted whether they could lead residents (居民) to change their habits. They began with the usual methods. They posted notices around the neighbourhood. They also went door to door, spreading the word. Nevertheless, residents made plenty of m 17 . For example, many didn’t know wet garbage referred to food waste. I 18 , they thought it meant garbage that was wet. Some even refused to sort their trash. As a result, the volunteers had to do a great deal of sorting themselves. Meanwhile, they went around to e 19 the rules. They kept talking to those who refused to sort their trash. It was a matter of time and patience. Their e 20 paid off. Six months later, all residents in the neighbourhood had begun sorting their trash. Some even joined them to sorting garbage that was sorted improperly. Personally, Li Wei thinks face-to-face talks played an i 21 role. Sometimes, these talks led to conflicts, but they were far more effective than notices and flyers. It will be interesting to see what happens on July 1. Everyone should learn the benefits of garbage sorting and take part in the plan. Passage 4.

The case has restarted conversations about whether or not zoos should still exist. Here, TIME for Kids readers collect different ideas. Grace Hipp, 8 YES     Many animal species are saved from disappearing forever thanks to zoos. This past summer, I saw the California condor (秃鹫) at the San Diego Zoo and learned about the breeding (繁殖) program there. Forty years ago, these animals were almost g 23 in the wild. But the zoo has taken some of them in and helped them breed. Now there are many more California condors. Yanni Watson, 12 NO We should not have zoos. In zoos, animals might not be given proper living conditions. They might also be ill-treated for entertainment purposes. Animals can feel stressed by the l 24 space of the cage and an unfamiliar environment. A 2003 study found that zoos were too small for some of the big-sized animals to carry out their normal d 25 activities. Shane Madrak, 10 YES We should still have zoos for a few reasons, Zoos provide animals with food and a habitat(栖息地) that is e 26 like their natural habitat. Zoos also breed animals to i 27 their population. And most zoos have educational programs that help children learn about different animals and protective efforts. Susie Slawsky, 9 NO Animals are kept away from their homes, where they have lots of space to take a walk, and are put behind fences or in cages. On b 28 zoo days, the noise and crowds can make them uncomfortable. When they're in zoos, they can also lose their natural instincts (天性). If they were released into the wild, they wouldn't know how to survive. An animal's health is more important than our entertainment Passage 5.

As we looked into the cage, a small, three-month-old beagle (小猎兔狗) puppy began wagging her tail, She seemed to say,” Oh, you’re the family I’ve been looking for!” And for the next fifteen years, Puddin (we named her Puddin because she was as sweet as a pudding dessert) became a part of our family. Pet ownership has always been p 23 in Western countries. Now, China is also discovering its love for cats and dogs. It now ranks No. 3 in the world for pet ownership. The pet industry, which sells food and toys as well as grooming (刷洗梳毛) and veterinarian (pet doctor) s 24 , is one of the country’s fastest-growing industries. Pets bring a lot of joy to your home, but they are also a big r 25 . Pets are not toys. You can not put them away when you are tired of playing with them. Dogs, in particular, need to be trained to behave p 26 and they need exercise. Even in bad weather, you have to take them for walks or for a run in the park. And, while you are training your dog, your dog is also training you to think about others and care about others, not just about y 27 . Puddin was my best friend when I was growing up. We sat together on the sofa and watched television. She kept me company when I was doing homework. And when I came home, she was always there to g 28 me, leaping up and barking an wagging her tail. Puddin is now gone, but you can still recognize her in old family photos: She is the o 29 wearing fur. Passage 6.

The case has restarted conversations about whether or not zoos should still exist. Here, TIME for Kids readers weigh in (发表评论). Lily: Many animal species are saved from disappearing forever thanks to zoos. This past summer, I saw the California condor (秃鹫) at the San Diego Zoo and learned about the breeding (繁殖) program there. Several decades ago, these animals were almost g 31 in the wild. But the zoo has taken some of them in and helped them breed. Now there are many more California condors. Peter: We should not have zoos. In zoos, animals might not be given proper living conditions. They might also be mistreated for entertainment purposes. Animals can feel stressed by the limited s 32 of the cage, an unfamiliar environment, and the presence of humans. A 2003 study of 35 species of carnivores (肉食动物) found that zoos were too small for some of the animals to carry out their normal d 33 activities. Jane: We should still have zoos for a few reasons. Zoos provide animals with food and a habitat (栖息地) that is exactly like their natural habitat. Zoos also breed animals to i 34 their population. And most zoos have educational programs that help children learn about different animals and conservation (保护) efforts. Jason: Animals are kept away from their homes, where they have lots of space to take a walk, and put in fenced areas or cages. If it’s a c 35 day at the zoo, some animals might get uncomfortable because a huge number of people watch them closely and make noise. When they’re in zoos, they can also lose their natural instincts (天性). If they were r 36 into the wild, they wouldn’t know how to survive. An animal’s health is more important than our entertainment. Passage 7. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给) Apple came out with its iPhone 17 on September 9th. The “Cosmic Orange” color of the Pro model has caught people’s attention. This color is different from more c 37 ones like white and black. Colors are more than just visual (视觉的) effects. According to the American Marketing Association, bright colors can make a product seem better, even if the color doesn’t a 38 change how the product works. Why is this? According to an article from the University of Leeds, when light enters our eyes, s 39 cells at the back of our eyes react to different colors and send signals to the brain. Most signals go to the visual cortex (视觉皮层), where we see pictures. But some are sent to another part of the brain called the hypothalamus (下丘脑). This part controls things in our body, such as temperature and m 40 . So, this means colors can change how our bodies feel. For example, blue light can make our blood flow and heartbeat slow down. It can also lower our blood p 41 and help us relax, according to the University of Derby in the UK. Orange, on the other hand, wakes up our senses, making it great for catching attention. However, n 42 color has been shown to increase sales more than others, said researchers at the University of Southern California in the US. Still, successful brands often use colors to create their images. For example, Coca-Cola uses red because it i 43 heart rate and improves appetite (食欲). Passage 8. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给) Every year thousands of young people leave school for a few weeks or months and enjoy an unusual type of educational program. What they learn during this time does not come from b 44 . They learn new skills by living in a different country and doing unusual jobs. There are several organizations that help students to find the e 45 they are looking for. One interesting possibility is helping elephants in Thailand. Most people think of elephants as animals in zoos or circuses. However, many elephants in Thailand are no longer kept in captivity. Now, hundreds of them are h 46 . These gentle animals are often found on the streets as they do not have o 47 to care for them. Although they may look well, they are often in poor health and don’t have enough to eat. One center in Thailand cares for these elephants. It provides a safe and natural living s 48 for them. When they are at the center, they stay in a building but are f 49 to walk around. Students come from all over the world to help here. The student helpers work with the elephant keepers. These keepers t 50 the students in caring for the elephants. In the morning, they go to the forest together and lead the elephants to the center. They clean them and give them food. In the afternoon, they take the animals back into the forest for the night. Helping at the center is interesting and the young people learn a lot. 试卷第4页，共8页 试卷第3页，共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 中考压轴题首字母填空之人与自然（名校试题精选） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 【考前专训·首字母特辑】 Passage 1.

But the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) says the zoo doesn’t provide the space that Happy needs, and Happy r 1 has social activities. The NhRP is taking the Bronx Zoo to court. The case has restarted conversations about whether or not zoos should still exist. Here, TIME for Kids readers weigh in (发表评论). Lily: Many animal species are saved from disappearing forever thanks to zoos. This past summer, I saw the California condor (秃鹫) at the San Diego Zoo and learned about the breeding (繁殖) program there. Several decades ago, these animals were almost g 2 in the wild. But the zoo has taken some of them in and helped them breed. Now there are many more California condors. Peter: We should not have zoos. In zoos, animals might not be given proper living conditions. They might also be mistreated for entertainment purposes. Animals can feel stressed by the limited s 3 of the cage, an unfamiliar environment, and the presence of humans. A 2003 study of 35 species of carnivores (肉食动物) found that zoos were too small for some of the animals to carry out their normal d 4 activities. Jane: We should still have zoos for a few reasons. Zoos provide animals with food and a habitat (栖息地) that is exactly like their natural habitat. Zoos also breed animals to i 5 their population. And most zoos have educational programs that help children learn about different animals and conservation (保护) efforts. Jason: Animals are kept away from their homes, where they have lots of space to take a walk, and put in fenced areas or cages. If it’s a c 6 day at the zoo, some animals might get uncomfortable because a huge number of people watch them closely and make noise. When they’re in zoos, they can also lose their natural instincts (天性). If they were r 7 into the wild, they wouldn’t know how to survive. An animal’s health is more important than our entertainment. 【答案】1．rarely/arely 2．gone/one 3．space/pace 4．daily/aily 5．increase/ncrease 6．crowded/rowded 7．released/eleased 【导语】本文以纽约布朗克斯动物园大象Happy因空间和社交问题被起诉为切入点，探讨“动物园是否还应存在”。四位《时代》儿童版读者各抒己见：Lily称动物园拯救濒危物种；Peter认为动物园条件差、虐待动物且空间有限致动物有压力；Jane觉得动物园提供适宜环境、繁殖动物还有教育作用；Jason指出动物园让动物远离家园、不适且失去天性，放归难存活，强调动物健康更重要。 2．句意：但非人权利项目（NhRP）表示，动物园无法为Happy提供所需的空间，而且Happy很少有社交活动。根据“the zoo doesn’t provide the space that Happy needs, and Happy...has social activities.”及首字母可知，动物园没有提供Happy所需的空间，并且Happy很少有社交活动，rarely“很少”符合。故填rarely。 3．句意：几十年前，这些动物在野外几乎灭绝了。根据“Several decades ago, these animals were almost...in the wild.”及首字母可知，此处说的是这些动物在野外几乎灭绝了，go extinct“灭绝”，是固定短语，空前有were，此处动词用过去分词构成一般过去时的被动语态。故填gone。 4．句意：动物可能会因为笼子的有限空间、陌生的环境和人类的存在而感到压力。根据“the limited...of the cage”及首字母可知，此处指的是笼子的有限空间，space“空间”，是不可数名词。故填space。 5．句意：2003年一项对35种肉食动物的研究发现，动物园对一些动物来说太小了，无法进行正常的日常活动。根据“carry out their normal...activities”及首字母可知，此处指的是正常的日常活动，daily“日常的”，是形容词，修饰名词activities。故填daily。 6．句意：动物园也繁殖动物以增加它们的数量。根据“Zoos also breed animals to...their population.”及首字母可知，繁殖动物的目的是增加它们的数量，increase“增加”，是动词，空前有不定式符号to，此处动词用原形。故填increase。 7．句意：如果动物园里人很多，一些动物可能会感到不舒服，因为大量的人近距离观察它们并制造噪音。根据“because a huge number of people watch them closely and make noise.”及首字母可知，此处指的是动物园里人很多，crowded“拥挤的”，是形容词，修饰名词day。故填crowded。 8．句意：如果它们被放归野外，它们将不知道如何生存。根据“If they were...into the wild, they wouldn’t know how to survive.”及首字母可知，此处指的是被放归野外，release“释放”，是动词，此处是被动语态，动词用过去分词。故填released。 Passage 7. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给) Apple came out with its iPhone 17 on September 9th. The “Cosmic Orange” color of the Pro model has caught people’s attention. This color is different from more c 1 ones like white and black. Colors are more than just visual (视觉的) effects. According to the American Marketing Association, bright colors can make a product seem better, even if the color doesn’t a 2 change how the product works. Why is this? According to an article from the University of Leeds, when light enters our eyes, s 3 cells at the back of our eyes react to different colors and send signals to the brain. Most signals go to the visual cortex (视觉皮层), where we see pictures. But some are sent to another part of the brain called the hypothalamus (下丘脑). This part controls things in our body, such as temperature and m 4 . So, this means colors can change how our bodies feel. For example, blue light can make our blood flow and heartbeat slow down. It can also lower our blood p 5 and help us relax, according to the University of Derby in the UK. Orange, on the other hand, wakes up our senses, making it great for catching attention. However, n 6 color has been shown to increase sales more than others, said researchers at the University of Southern California in the US. Still, successful brands often use colors to create their images. For example, Coca-Cola uses red because it i 7 heart rate and improves appetite (食欲). 【答案】1．common/ommon 2．actually/ctually 3．special/pecial 4．mood/ood 5．pressure/ressure 6．no/o 7．increases/ncreases 【导语】本文介绍了苹果公司新发布的iPhone 17“宇宙橙”配色引发关注，并探讨了颜色如何通过影响大脑和身体感受来塑造人们对产品的认知，以及品牌如何利用色彩传递形象。 2．句意：这种颜色不同于更常见的白色和黑色。根据“like white and black”结合常识可知白色和黑色是常见的，再由首字母c可知用common表示“常见的”，形容词作定语，故填common。 3．句意：鲜艳的颜色能让产品看起来更好，即使颜色实际上并不改变产品的功能。根据“the color doesn’t a... change how the product works”结合常识可知颜色实际上并不改变产品的功能，再由首字母a可知用actually表示“实际上”，修饰动词change，故填actually。 4．句意：根据利兹大学的一篇文章，当光线进入我们的眼睛时，我们眼睛后部的特殊细胞会对不同的颜色做出反应，并向大脑发送信号。根据“s... cells at the back of our eyes react to different colors”可知此处表示眼睛后部的特殊细胞，结合首字母s可知用special表示“特殊的”，故填special。 5．句意：下丘脑控制我们体内的一些功能，如体温和情绪。根据“So, this means colors can change how our bodies feel.”及“help us relax”可推出能控制我们的情绪，结合首字母m可知用mood表示“情绪”，与temperature并列，属于下丘脑调节的生理或心理状态，故填mood。 6．句意：蓝色光可以降低我们的血压并帮助放松。blood pressure“血压”，是固定搭配，故填pressure。 7．句意：然而，没有一种颜色被证明比其他颜色更能促进销售。根据“However”可知句意出现转折，由此推出没有一种颜色被证明比其他颜色更能促进销售，no color表示“没有任何一种颜色”，故填no。 8．句意：例如，可口可乐使用红色，因为它能提高心率并增进食欲。根据“it i... heart rate”可推出红色提高心率，结合首字母i可知用increase表示“提高”，主语it为第三人称单数，动词需用第三人称单数形式，故填increases。 Passage 8.
