Unit 6 Living with nature 阅读表达专练 话题:人与自然—与自然共生 基础篇 01 A cloud forest is a very special kind of forest in cloudy mountains. There, clouds pass through trees and make the leaves of trees wet. Rain falls almost every day. Plants of cloud forests live in a special way. They grow on the trees instead of on the ground. They live on the high parts of trees so that they can get more light to be stronger. There are many kinds of special animals in cloud forests. For example, tree kangaroos (树袋鼠) have long tails and they live in trees like monkeys. Frogs can climb up trees and cross leaves easily. Cloud forests are important to people. They not only give us healthy food, but also offer new medicine for illness. Unluckily, the beautiful forests are in danger now. Why?Firstly, it is getting warmer around the world, but plants and animals in cloud forests like to live in cool places. Therefore, it’s difficult for them to find a proper place to live in. Secondly, people cut down many trees for farming or feeding cows. The animals are losing their homes. Let’s save the cloud forests before it’s too late! 1.How often does it rain in cloud forests? ___________________________________ 2.Why do plants live on the high parts of trees? ___________________________________ 3.What is the tail of a tree kangaroo like? ___________________________________ 4.Do plants and animals in cloud forests like to live in cool places or hot places? ___________________________________ 5.What do people cut down many trees for? ___________________________________ 02 A group called Oceanix has thought up a plan to create the world’s first floating (漂浮的) city. Marc Collins Chen started the group. He once worked in French Polynesia. When he learned that sea level rise might cover about one-third of French Polynesia’s islands, he felt surprised and sad. Then he thought building floating cities would be a way to give people places to live. Oceanix tries to build floating cities that will easily grow as people need more space. The building blocks of the cities will be six-sided floating islands. Six islands can join together and about 1,650 people can live in this six-island “village”. Oceanix says six villages can join together to make a small city. To do this, Oceanix needs to solve many problems, such as water, food, energy (能源) and waste. Oceanix says the cities will be in warm places. This will make growing food easier, and let people live and work outside for much of a year. People will keep all the rain. They will also get water from the sea and the air. The water will be important, because people need to grow their own food. People will deal with waste carefully. Most things people use are recyclable, so that the air will be fresher and the environment will be better. As sea level rise may make many people lose their homes, it’s necessary for people to think where and how to live. 1.Where did Marc Collins Chen once work? ___________________________________ 2.What is the group Oceanix going to do? ___________________________________ 3.Why will the group build the city in warm places? ___________________________________ 4.How will people get water according to Oceanix? ___________________________________ 5.Will there be much pollution in the floating city? ___________________________________ 03 (25-26八年级下·全国·单元测试)Wetlands are special places on earth. Known as the “kidneys (肾) of the earth”, they are home to many plants and animals. But wetlands are in danger, so we need to protect them. Here are some easy things we can do. First, we should stop polluting (污染) wetlands. Don’t litter. That’s because rubbish can harm fish, birds, and other wildlife that live in wetlands. If we see someone littering, we should tell him or her it’s wrong. We can also help clean up wetlands by taking part in rubbish-collecting activities. Second, we must protect the plants in wetlands. Plants in wetlands help keep the water clean and give animals food and shelter. Never pick wild plants or cut down trees in these areas. Third, we need to save water. Wetlands need water to stay alive. We can turn off the tap when we brush our teeth or wash our hands. Saving water at home means more water can stay in the wetlands. Finally, we should learn more about wetlands and tell others why they are important. We can share what we know with our friends. If more people understand how special wetlands are, more people will help protect them. Protecting wetlands is not hard if we all work together. Every small action can make a big difference! 1.What are wetlands known as? ___________________________________ 2.What do plants in wetlands help do? ___________________________________ 3.Which word means “水龙头” in the text? ___________________________________ 4.How many ways of protecting wetlands are mentioned in the text? ___________________________________ 5.What does the text mainly tell us? ___________________________________ 04 (25-26八年级下·全国·单元测试)The Amazon Rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world. It covers about 5.5 million square kilometres, mostly in Brazil. It is home to more than 10% of the world’s known species. There are thousands of kinds of trees, plants, birds, insects and animals here. The rainforest is often called the “lungs of the Earth”. The trees produce oxygen and take in carbon dioxide. This helps to keep the air clean and slow down global warming. However, the Amazon Rainforest is in trouble. Every year, large areas of the forest are cut down for farming and logging. When the trees are cut down, the animals lose their homes. Also, fewer trees mean more carbon dioxide in the air, which makes global warming worse. Many people and organizations are working to save the rainforest. They are teaching local people how to protect the forest while making a living. They are also trying to stop illegal logging and farming. It is important to protect the Amazon Rainforest, not just for the animals that live there, but for all of us on Earth. 根据短文内容,回答问题。 1.Where is the Amazon Rainforest mostly located? ___________________________________ 2.Why is the Amazon Rainforest called the “lungs of the Earth”? ___________________________________ 3.What problems is the Amazon Rainforest facing now? ___________________________________ 4.Why is it important to protect the Amazon Rainforest? ___________________________________ 5.What are some people doing to save the rainforest? ___________________________________ 05 (25-26八年级下·全国·单元测试)The Duku Highway (独库公路) is a very famous road in Xinjiang. It is known for its beautiful views and exciting journey. The road was completed in September, 1983, running over 500 kilometers, from a city called Dushanzi to Kuche. The highway is surrounded (环绕) by high mountains and wide grasslands. If you drive on this road, you will see amazing snow-covered mountain tops and green fields. The road takes you through lots of canyons(峡谷)and rivers, and you can see wonderful views at every turn. One of the best parts of the Duku Highway is the Tianshan Grand Canyon. This is a really big canyon with red and yellow cliffs (悬崖). It is the perfect place to take pictures. You can also go hiking there,and enjoy the fresh air and peaceful surroundings. Another place you must visit on the Duku Highway is the colorful Danxia Landform (丹霞地貌). It is an area where the rocks and cliffs have been changing over time. The rocks are bright red, orange, and yellow, and they look like a rainbow. That’s why it is called “colorful Danxia”. The Duku Highway is really a great place for people who love nature. However, when you enjoy the view, do remember those soldiers who built the road for 10 years, and 168 of them lost their lives for it. Therefore, this road is also called the “Road of Heroes”. 1.When was the Duku Highway completed? ___________________________________ 2.What can people do at the Tianshan Grand Canyon? ___________________________________ 3.Why is Danxia Landform called “colorful Danxia”? ___________________________________ 4.How do people remember the builders of the road? ___________________________________ 5.Do you want to visit Duku Highway?

Should we protect nature completely or believe technology can help us better? Here are some students’ opinions on it. Lin Tao (13, Grade 7)—Be Nature’s Guardians (守护者) 8:35 p.m. 19 Sep. Nature isn’t just there for us to use—it has its own value (价值). We should protect forests, oceans, and animals for our future. We can build more nature reserves (保护区) and cut down pollution. It’s also important to learn to enjoy nature and live peacefully with it, not just take from it. Small actions like saving water can help a lot if everyone does them. Wang Mei (14, Grade 8)—Technology Helps the Environment 8:45 p.m. 19 Sep. We can’t give up modern life and go back to a simple one. Instead, we should use technology to fix environmental problems. For example, we can develop clean energy like solar power to take the place of coal and oil. Technology caused some of these problems, so we need smart ideas and new inventions. Humans can’t live without a good natural environment, so we need smart ideas and new inventions. Zhang Jian (15, Grade 9)—Balance Protection and Progress 10 minutes ago We need natural resources to develop, and we have to use them in a proper way. For example, we can cut down trees, but we should also plant new ones. We can build cities, but we need to leave green space for animals. It’s not about choosing between protection and development—it’s about finding a wise middle way. 1.Does Lin Tao think small actions can help to protect nature? ___________________________________ 2.According to Zhang Jian, what should we do after cutting down trees? ___________________________________ 3.What should we develop to take the place of coal and oil according to Wang Mei? ___________________________________ 4.What is the common idea in all three students’ opinions? ___________________________________ 5.What do you think of their opinions and why? Choose one to reply (about 30 words). ___________________________________ 07 (25-26八年级下·重庆·月考)Have you heard of the television program Life Tree? It became very popular in early 2026. The show tells a moving story about people protecting nature on the Qinghai Plateau (高原). The story took place in the 1990s in a place called Hoh Xil. At that time, many people hunted Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) for their wool by breaking the rules. The antelopes were in great danger. A man named Dorje, played by actor Hu Ge, decides to form a patrol (巡逻) team. Their job is to stop the hunters and protect the animals. The team faces many difficulties. They don’t have enough money or tools. The weather on the plateau is very cold and dangerous. Sometimes they have to walk for days in the snow. But they never give up. They believe that protecting the antelopes is their duty. A young policewoman named Bai Ju, played by Yang Zi, joins the team. At first, she just wants to leave this hard place. But after seeing her teammates die and seeing the dead antelopes, she changes her mind. She decides to stay and help. The show is not just about fighting bad people. It also shows the beauty of the plateau. The blue sky, white snow, and wild animals are all in the drama. Many people say after watching it, they want to visit Qinghai and learn more about protecting nature. Life Tree teaches us an important lesson that protecting nature means protecting ourselves. The patrol team members are real heroes. They use their lives to keep the plateau safe for all living things. 1.Did the patrol team have a hard job? ___________________________________ 2.When did the young policewoman change her mind and decide to stay and help? ___________________________________ 3.What difficulties does the patrol team face? ___________________________________ 4.What can we learn from Life Tree about protecting nature?

It gives us fresh seafood and clean energy, and keeps the earth’s climate balanced. It is also home to millions of sea creatures, making our planet lively and colourful. To help more people learn about the importance of the ocean, a special day was set up. World Oceans Day Information Time It is on June 8 every year. Purpose It helps people think about the important role that the ocean plays in our lives, the dangers that the ocean is facing and the actions that we can take to protect the ocean. Topic of 2026 Strong Marine (海洋的) Protected Areas for Our Blue Planet We can explore the ocean with modern tools like underwater cameras and diving equipment (潜水设备). These amazing tools act as our “eyes” and “hands” in the deep sea. Underwater cameras send back live videos of deep sea life, helping scientists study animals they have never seen before. Diving equipment lets scientists get close to sea animals to learn about their habits without hurting them. By using these tools, we are discovering new kinds of life all the time and learning how to better protect our blue planet. When people talk of exploring the ocean, there are different points. We need to explore the ocean. Ocean exploration can help us find new energy and food resources (资源). It can make human life better and also offer better ways to protect the ocean. By studying the ocean, we can collect some information. It is important for understanding and predicting climate change, which can help us protect our planet better. We should protect the ocean first instead of exploring it. The ocean is in danger because of pollution (污染) and overfishing. And more exploration means more pollution. If we don’t protect it, there will be no ocean to explore. 1.When is World Oceans Day? ___________________________________ 2.How can we explore the ocean according to the passage? ___________________________________ 3.What does Zhang Wei think ocean exploration can help us find? ___________________________________ 4.Why is the ocean in danger in Li Hua’s opinion? ___________________________________ 5.Should we explore the ocean? Why? ___________________________________ 09 (25-26八年级下·全国·单元测试)People often think of the North Pole (北极) and the South Pole as similar frozen (冰冻的) wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North Pole is not much like the South Pole. So what is the real situation there? The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures hardly go above 32°F-water turns into ice at this temperature. Most of the time, it stays below 0℃. In winter, temperatures are usually as low as -30°F. Although conditions were poor, people tried for many years to reach the North Pole. From 1901 to 1906, Robert Peary tried three times to reach the North Pole, but he didn’t make it. It was not until three years later that he finally succeeded in getting to this environment full of troubles and problems. There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic (北极) on foot. People who stay there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited (无人居住的), so few people can live in such a difficult place. People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes (道) of water called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes. 1.What’s the usual temperature in winter in the North Pole? ___________________________________ 2.When did Robert Peary reach the North Pole? ___________________________________ 3.What makes it dangerous to cross the Arctic on foot? ___________________________________ 4.Why does the ice in the Arctic break into leads? ___________________________________ 5.What does this passage mainly talk about? ___________________________________ 10 (24-25八年级下·湖南长沙·月考)阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题。 At just 14 years old, Ryan Hickman from San Juan Hills High School, US, has made waves (引起轰动) with a beach clean-up campaign (运动). On April 20th, he and many volunteers from Project 3R, the nonprofit (非营利机构) he created, started a five-week campaign at five beaches along the Southern California coast and some in Mexico to remove trash (清除垃圾). “The trash ends up in the ocean, and animals are eating it,” Hickman told The Orange County Register. “Picking up a piece of trash may save a turtle’s life.” In 2012, Ryan Hickman started to pick up the trash around the beaches. Ever since then, he and some volunteers have collected about 2 million bottles and cans (金属罐) from beaches, lakes and rivers. From a young age, Hickman had developed a love for recycling and had always liked trash trucks. He put the two interests together and began collecting recyclables (可回收物) to raise money. In 2017, Hickman gave away a $10, 000 (about 72,000 yuan) check to the PMMC after picking up 50, 000 pounds of trash and more than 200, 000 recyclable bottles. Along with organizing volunteer cleanups, Hickman has also traveled worldwide, speaking to kids about caring for the planet and oceans. At the Ocean Institute in California, he started a program where primary school students clean local beaches and then board (登船) the institute’s teaching ship to learn about pollution’s influence. “It’s fun,”he said.“The people I talk to may encourage them, and they might organize a cleanup, too.” 1.What has Ryan Hickman made waves with? ___________________________________ 2.Where did Ryan Hickman and many volunteers start a five-week campaign? ___________________________________ 3.How many bottles and cans have he and some volunteers collected since 2012? ___________________________________ 4.How did Ryan Hickman raise money? ___________________________________ 5.What do you think of Ryan Hickman? ___________________________________ 1 / 13 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $ Unit 6 Living with nature 阅读表达专练 话题:人与自然—与自然共生 基础篇 01 A cloud forest is a very special kind of forest in cloudy mountains.

Known as the “kidneys (肾) of the earth”, they are home to many plants and animals. But wetlands are in danger, so we need to protect them. Here are some easy things we can do. First, we should stop polluting (污染) wetlands. Don’t litter. That’s because rubbish can harm fish, birds, and other wildlife that live in wetlands. If we see someone littering, we should tell him or her it’s wrong. We can also help clean up wetlands by taking part in rubbish-collecting activities. Second, we must protect the plants in wetlands. Plants in wetlands help keep the water clean and give animals food and shelter. Never pick wild plants or cut down trees in these areas. Third, we need to save water. Wetlands need water to stay alive. We can turn off the tap when we brush our teeth or wash our hands. Saving water at home means more water can stay in the wetlands. Finally, we should learn more about wetlands and tell others why they are important. We can share what we know with our friends. If more people understand how special wetlands are, more people will help protect them. Protecting wetlands is not hard if we all work together. Every small action can make a big difference! 1.What are wetlands known as? ___________________________________ 2.What do plants in wetlands help do? ___________________________________ 3.Which word means “水龙头” in the text? ___________________________________ 4.How many ways of protecting wetlands are mentioned in the text? ___________________________________ 5.What does the text mainly tell us? ___________________________________ 【答案】1.The “kidneys of the earth”. 2.They help keep the water clean and give animals food and shelter. 3.Tap. 4.Four/4. 5.How to protect wetlands./Some ways to protect wetlands./... 【导语】本文介绍了湿地的重要意义、现存危机,详细讲解了四种保护湿地的可行方法,呼吁大家共同行动守护湿地。 1.根据文中第一段“Known as the ‘kidneys (肾) of the earth’”可知,湿地被称作“地球的肾脏”。 2.根据文中第三段“Plants in wetlands help keep the water clean and give animals food and shelter.”可知,湿地里的植物可以帮助净化水质,为动物提供食物和栖息处。 3.根据文中第四段“We can turn off the tap when we brush our teeth or wash our hands.”可知,文中对应汉语“水龙头”的单词是tap。 4.根据文中First、Second、Third、Finally四个段落分层可知,文章一共提到了四种保护湿地的方法。 5.根据文章开头“But wetlands are in danger, so we need to protect them.

Lin Tao (13, Grade 7)—Be Nature’s Guardians (守护者) 8:35 p.m. 19 Sep. Nature isn’t just there for us to use—it has its own value (价值). We should protect forests, oceans, and animals for our future. We can build more nature reserves (保护区) and cut down pollution. It’s also important to learn to enjoy nature and live peacefully with it, not just take from it. Small actions like saving water can help a lot if everyone does them. Wang Mei (14, Grade 8)—Technology Helps the Environment 8:45 p.m. 19 Sep. We can’t give up modern life and go back to a simple one. Instead, we should use technology to fix environmental problems. For example, we can develop clean energy like solar power to take the place of coal and oil. Technology caused some of these problems, so we need smart ideas and new inventions. Humans can’t live without a good natural environment, so we need smart ideas and new inventions. Zhang Jian (15, Grade 9)—Balance Protection and Progress 10 minutes ago We need natural resources to develop, and we have to use them in a proper way. For example, we can cut down trees, but we should also plant new ones. We can build cities, but we need to leave green space for animals. It’s not about choosing between protection and development—it’s about finding a wise middle way. 1.Does Lin Tao think small actions can help to protect nature? ___________________________________ 2.According to Zhang Jian, what should we do after cutting down trees? ___________________________________ 3.What should we develop to take the place of coal and oil according to Wang Mei? ___________________________________ 4.What is the common idea in all three students’ opinions? ___________________________________ 5.What do you think of their opinions and why? Choose one to reply (about 30 words). ___________________________________ 【答案】1.Yes, he does./Yes. 2.We should plant new trees. 3.Clean energy like solar power. 4.Nature is important to humans, and we should try our best to protect it./Nature is valuable to humans, and we should try our best to protect it. (答案不唯一) 5.I agree with Lin Tao’s idea. Because nature is our home. If we don’t protect it, our future will be in danger. Small actions are important to make a change. (答案不唯一) 【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要讲述了学校论坛关于“人类与自然”的讨论,三位学生分别提出了自己的观点:林涛认为应做自然的守护者,王梅认为技术有助于环境,张健认为应在保护与发展之间取得平衡。 1.根据文章第2段“Small actions like saving water can help a lot if everyone does them.”可知,林涛认为小行动有助于保护自然。故填Yes, he does./Yes. 2.根据文章第4段“For example, we can cut down trees, but we should also plant new ones.”可知,砍树后我们应该种植新树。故填We should plant new trees. 3.根据文章第3段“For example, we can develop clean energy like solar power to take the place of coal and oil.”可知,我们应该开发清洁能源,比如用太阳能来取代煤炭和石油。故填Clean energy like solar power. 4.根据文中内容可知,综合三位学生的观点:林涛强调保护自然,王梅强调用技术解决环境问题,张健强调平衡保护与发展。他们的共同点是都认为自然对人类来说是重要的或有价值的,我们应该尽力去保护自然,开放性问题,答案不唯一。故填Nature is important to humans, and we should try our best to protect it./Nature is valuable to humans, and we should try our best to protect it. 5.本题为开放性问题,答案不唯一。结合自己的看法合理作答即可,字数约30词。故填I agree with Lin Tao’s idea.

It became very popular in early 2026. The show tells a moving story about people protecting nature on the Qinghai Plateau (高原). The story took place in the 1990s in a place called Hoh Xil. At that time, many people hunted Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) for their wool by breaking the rules. The antelopes were in great danger. A man named Dorje, played by actor Hu Ge, decides to form a patrol (巡逻) team. Their job is to stop the hunters and protect the animals. The team faces many difficulties. They don’t have enough money or tools. The weather on the plateau is very cold and dangerous. Sometimes they have to walk for days in the snow. But they never give up. They believe that protecting the antelopes is their duty. A young policewoman named Bai Ju, played by Yang Zi, joins the team. At first, she just wants to leave this hard place. But after seeing her teammates die and seeing the dead antelopes, she changes her mind. She decides to stay and help. The show is not just about fighting bad people. It also shows the beauty of the plateau. The blue sky, white snow, and wild animals are all in the drama. Many people say after watching it, they want to visit Qinghai and learn more about protecting nature. Life Tree teaches us an important lesson that protecting nature means protecting ourselves. The patrol team members are real heroes. They use their lives to keep the plateau safe for all living things. 1.Did the patrol team have a hard job? ___________________________________ 2.When did the young policewoman change her mind and decide to stay and help? ___________________________________ 3.What difficulties does the patrol team face? ___________________________________ 4.What can we learn from Life Tree about protecting nature?

Sometimes they have to walk for days in the snow.”,答案整合原文信息。 4.本题为开放性试题。根据文章最后一段中“Life Tree teaches us an important lesson that protecting nature means protecting ourselves.”,可以得出保护自然的重要性。结合自身,我们可以从身边的小事做起,如节约资源、减少污染等。 08 (25-26八年级下·山西太原·期中)请阅读下面语篇,根据其内容回答问题,并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 The ocean is our great treasure. It gives us fresh seafood and clean energy, and keeps the earth’s climate balanced. It is also home to millions of sea creatures, making our planet lively and colourful. To help more people learn about the importance of the ocean, a special day was set up. World Oceans Day Information Time It is on June 8 every year. Purpose It helps people think about the important role that the ocean plays in our lives, the dangers that the ocean is facing and the actions that we can take to protect the ocean. Topic of 2026 Strong Marine (海洋的) Protected Areas for Our Blue Planet We can explore the ocean with modern tools like underwater cameras and diving equipment (潜水设备). These amazing tools act as our “eyes” and “hands” in the deep sea. Underwater cameras send back live videos of deep sea life, helping scientists study animals they have never seen before. Diving equipment lets scientists get close to sea animals to learn about their habits without hurting them. By using these tools, we are discovering new kinds of life all the time and learning how to better protect our blue planet. When people talk of exploring the ocean, there are different points. We need to explore the ocean. Ocean exploration can help us find new energy and food resources (资源). It can make human life better and also offer better ways to protect the ocean. By studying the ocean, we can collect some information. It is important for understanding and predicting climate change, which can help us protect our planet better. We should protect the ocean first instead of exploring it. The ocean is in danger because of pollution (污染) and overfishing. And more exploration means more pollution. If we don’t protect it, there will be no ocean to explore. 1.When is World Oceans Day? ___________________________________ 2.How can we explore the ocean according to the passage? ___________________________________ 3.What does Zhang Wei think ocean exploration can help us find? ___________________________________ 4.Why is the ocean in danger in Li Hua’s opinion? ___________________________________ 5.Should we explore the ocean? Why? ___________________________________ 【答案】1.(It is) on June 8 every year. 2.(We can explore it) with modern tools like underwater cameras and diving equipment./ By using modern tools like underwater cameras and diving equipment. 3.(It can help us find) new energy and food resources. 4.Because of pollution and overfishing. 5.示例一:Yes, we should./…Because ocean exploration not only helps us protect the environment, but also allows us to develop new technology. 示例二:No, we shouldn’t./… Because divers and researchers face dangers such as equipment failure and sudden weather changes./… 【导语】本文介绍了世界海洋日的相关信息、探索海洋的方式,以及不同人对海洋探索的看法。 1.原文表格中“Time”一栏明确提到“It is on June 8 every year.”,直接提取即可。 2.原文提到“We can explore the ocean with modern tools like underwater cameras and diving equipment.”,直接提取即可。 3.根据张伟的观点,“Ocean exploration can help us find new energy and food resources.”,直接提取即可。 4.根据李华的观点,“The ocean is in danger because of pollution and overfishing.”,直接提取即可。 5.开放性问题,可结合文中观点作答,支持或反对都需给出合理理由。 09 (25-26八年级下·全国·单元测试)People often think of the North Pole (北极) and the South Pole as similar frozen (冰冻的) wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North Pole is not much like the South Pole. So what is the real situation there? The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures hardly go above 32°F-water turns into ice at this temperature. Most of the time, it stays below 0℃. In winter, temperatures are usually as low as -30°F. Although conditions were poor, people tried for many years to reach the North Pole. From 1901 to 1906, Robert Peary tried three times to reach the North Pole, but he didn’t make it. It was not until three years later that he finally succeeded in getting to this environment full of troubles and problems. There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic (北极) on foot. People who stay there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited (无人居住的), so few people can live in such a difficult place. People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes (道) of water called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes. 1.What’s the usual temperature in winter in the North Pole? ___________________________________ 2.When did Robert Peary reach the North Pole? ___________________________________ 3.What makes it dangerous to cross the Arctic on foot? ___________________________________ 4.Why does the ice in the Arctic break into leads? ___________________________________ 5.What does this passage mainly talk about? ___________________________________ 【答案】1.As low as -30 °F. 2.In 1909. 3.Very cold temperatures, sudden storms, hunger, and the changes of ice. 4.Because of the movement of the ocean water under the ice./Because the ocean water under the ice moves. 5.The real situation in the North Pole. 【导语】本文主要介绍了北极的真实情况,包括其气候、到达北极的历史、穿越北极的危险、冰层变化的原因等。 1.第二段“In winter, temperatures are usually as low as -30°F.”可知,冬季北极的通常温度低至零下30华氏度。所以答案是原文直接信息。 2.第三段“From 1901 to 1906, Robert Peary tried three times to reach the North Pole, but he didn't make it. It was not until three years later that he finally succeeded in getting to this environment full of troubles and problems.”可知,Robert Peary在1906年之后的三年,即1909年到达北极,这是根据文中时间线索进行推理计算得出的结果。 3.第四段“People who stay there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger.”以及第五段“The movement of the ocean water under the ice may cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes (道) of water called ‘leads’.”可知,穿越北极步行非常危险是因为极寒的温度、突如其来的风暴、饥饿以及冰层的变化,这是综合文中不同段落关于北极危险因素的描述进行总结得出的答案。 4.第五段“The movement of the ocean water under the ice may cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes (道) of water called ‘leads’.”可知,北极的冰裂成水道是因为冰下海水的运动,这是直接从文中找到相关句子提取关键信息得到的答案。 5.文章开篇指出人们常认为北极和南极相似,但北极并不像南极,接着从多个方面介绍了北极的真实情况,所以文章主要讲的是北极的真实情况,这是对文章整体内容进行概括总结得出的答案。 10 (24-25八年级下·湖南长沙·月考)阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题。 At just 14 years old, Ryan Hickman from San Juan Hills High School, US, has made waves (引起轰动) with a beach clean-up campaign (运动). On April 20th, he and many volunteers from Project 3R, the nonprofit (非营利机构) he created, started a five-week campaign at five beaches along the Southern California coast and some in Mexico to remove trash (清除垃圾). “The trash ends up in the ocean, and animals are eating it,” Hickman told The Orange County Register. “Picking up a piece of trash may save a turtle’s life.” In 2012, Ryan Hickman started to pick up the trash around the beaches. Ever since then, he and some volunteers have collected about 2 million bottles and cans (金属罐) from beaches, lakes and rivers. From a young age, Hickman had developed a love for recycling and had always liked trash trucks. He put the two interests together and began collecting recyclables (可回收物) to raise money. In 2017, Hickman gave away a $10, 000 (about 72,000 yuan) check to the PMMC after picking up 50, 000 pounds of trash and more than 200, 000 recyclable bottles. Along with organizing volunteer cleanups, Hickman has also traveled worldwide, speaking to kids about caring for the planet and oceans. At the Ocean Institute in California, he started a program where primary school students clean local beaches and then board (登船) the institute’s teaching ship to learn about pollution’s influence. “It’s fun,”he said.“The people I talk to may encourage them, and they might organize a cleanup, too.” 1.What has Ryan Hickman made waves with? ___________________________________ 2.Where did Ryan Hickman and many volunteers start a five-week campaign? ___________________________________ 3.How many bottles and cans have he and some volunteers collected since 2012? ___________________________________ 4.How did Ryan Hickman raise money? ___________________________________ 5.What do you think of Ryan Hickman? ___________________________________ 【答案】1.A beach clean-up campaign. 2.At five beaches along the Southern California coast and some in Mexico. 3.About 2 million bottles and cans. 4.By collecting recyclables. 5.He is kind, helpful and responsible. 【导语】本文介绍了美国少年Ryan Hickman发起海滩清洁活动、坚持回收垃圾、呼吁保护海洋与地球环境的公益事迹。 1.第一段提到“has made waves with a beach clean-up campaign”,可直接提取原文信息作答。 2.第一段提到“started a five-week campaign at five beaches along the Southern California coast and some in Mexico”,可直接提取原文地点信息。 3.第三段提到“he and some volunteers have collected about 2 million bottles and cans from beaches, lakes and rivers”,据此整理答案。 4.第四段提到“began collecting recyclables to raise money”,说明他通过收集可回收物筹集资金。 5.文中他长期清理垃圾、保护海洋动物,捐赠善款,还奔走宣讲环保知识、带动他人保护环境,能看出他善良热心、乐于助人、富有责任感。 1 / 13 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $
