Mark liked watering them and he especially liked watching the 21 grow. The school used the fruits and vegetables in the school dining hall.

B For writers in Western cultures, fall is a season difficult to describe. On the one hand, it is the end of the summer, so it’s a little sad. The nights fall. And when you wake in the morning, there’s fog and it’s cooler: Winter is coming. American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast, “You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare (光秃秃的) against the wind and the cold, wintry light.” On the other hand, fall has its good side. There are many changes in nature at this time of year such as the reds and browns that the leaves change to, and the way they fall from the trees. The French writer Albert Camus even thought fall was a second spring: “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” It’s a view you can also find in the most famous fall poem in English literature, To Autumn by John Keats. In that poem, Keats said that fall has its songs just like spring. Another fall theme is wisdom. The arrival of this season is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature. Their summer peak may have been and gone, but old age has not yet come. At this time, it’s thought that people have learned a thing or two about life. The great Irish poet W.B．Yeats took up this theme in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole. Yeats put together a picture for the readers out ofthe details of the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland, a place he knew well. Seeing and counting 59 swans, he remembered first making the count 19 years ago. He wondered whether he could still love as the lover swans do. Of course, many other themes and subject matters can play a part in the literature of fall. For example, it’s the beginning of a new term of the school year. As you would expect, fall is found in writing for children and young people. But fall writing usually focuses on the changes in nature that we see, which writers often use as a symbol for changes in human life. 54．The underlined word “mature” in Paragraph 4 means “________”. A．thinking about life carefully B．having lived for long C．fully grown and developed D．not growing any longer 55．The writer mentioned some famous writers and poets to ________. A．give details about their works B．compare their books and poems C．show the readers the beauty of fall D．show different understandings of fall 56．What is the passage mainly about? A．Changes in nature. B．Writers in Western cultures. C．Fall in literature. D．Wonders in the best season. C The Xisha Islands are in the northwest part of the South China Sea. They are beautiful places with nice views and many resources (资源). This is how our primary school textbook describes them. Many Chinese people know about the South China Sea and the Xisha Islands, but only a few have been there. These islands are far away and have a weak ecosystem (生态系统). Because of this, most activities there are just fishing, protecting the environment, and doing scientific study. Visitors are mainly government workers, fishermen’s relatives, and media members. In 2007, the Chinese government set up Sansha City on Xisha’s Yongxing Island. I once visited Yongxing Island. I thought the fishermen’s homes would be simple, but they were very comfortable. The island had a vegetable garden, and green vegetables were seen on the local tables. I stayed in a hotel with a playground downstairs. After dinner, everyone got together to play games. Later, I walked along the island’s paths, enjoying the sea view and peaceful moment. Fishermen told me they used traditional ways to fish. They knew exactly which fish could be caught because of their different sizes. As for smaller fish, fishermen released them back into the sea. One thing that I never forgot was an outdoor movie called Island Keeper. It was about a couple who guarded the island for 32 years. Many fishermen were moved to tears. One fisherman said as life on the island improved, his family loved to stay on the island during the fishing season. He also drove a passenger boat, so he made more money even when he was not fishing. 57．What does the word “them” in paragraph 1 refer to? A．Nice views. B．The Xisha Islands. C．Many resources. D．The South China Sea. 58．What causes only a few people to visit the Xisha Islands? ①The islands are far away. ②Not many people know the islands. ③The ecosystem there is weak. ④The islands are used for scientific study. A．①② B．③④ C．①③ D．②④ 59．What does the underlined word “released” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Looked for. B．Cut... down. C．Took care of. D．Let… go. 60．What can we infer from the text now? A．Fishermen catch fish in modern ways. B．Fishermen enjoy their life on the islands. C．More and more visitors come to the Xisha Islands now. D．The living conditions of fishermen are poor and simple. 61．What is the main idea of the text? A．To introduce the Xisha Islands and the life of people there B．To explain how to protect the ecosystem of the Xisha Islands C．To encourage more tourists to visit the Xisha Islands D．To describe the history of Sansha City on Yongxing Island D Nature’s temper has a great influence on all living things on Earth. Every plant and animal has learned to adapt to nature’s changes, whether they are gentle or fierce. This adaptation helps them survive and pass on their life. Some plants can survive in dry weather, storing water in their leaves or roots. When nature shows its fierce side with little rain, these plants can still live. Other plants, like lotus, grow in water and need plenty of rain to thrive. They adapt to nature’s gentle side in rainy seasons, growing quickly and beautifully. Animals also have their own ways to adapt to nature’s temper. Birds fly to warm places when winter comes, avoiding the cold. Some animals hibernate in winter, sleeping through the cold days until spring comes. When summer is hot, many animals hide in cool places, coming out to look for food in the evening. The word “adapt” here means to change oneself to fit the environment. Without this ability, many living things would not survive. Nature’s temper is not always kind, but it is fair. It gives every living thing a chance to survive, as long as they can adapt. Understanding how living things adapt to nature’s temper helps us realize the importance of protecting nature. We should not destroy their living environment, but let them live in harmony with nature’s changes. 62．What influence does nature’s temper have on living things? A．It has no influence. B．It helps them grow better. C．It has a great influence on their survival. D．It makes them die easily. 63．How do some plants survive in dry weather? A．They store water in leaves or roots. B．They die quickly. C．They need plenty of rain. D．They grow in water. 64．What does the underlined word “adapt” mean in the passage? A．To give up. B．To change oneself to fit the environment. C．To destroy the environment. D．To live in cold places. 65．What can we infer from the passage? A．Living things don’t need to adapt to nature’s temper. B．Nature’s temper is always kind to living things. C．Protecting nature is important for living things. D．All animals hibernate in winter. 66．What is the best title for the passage? A．How Animals Survive in Winter. B．Nature’s Temper and Living Things. C．Plants and Their Living Habits. D．The Importance of Rain. E ①Water is important for all living things on Earth. The water cycle (循环) takes water from the ground and the sky and brings it back to the Earth again. It is a cycle that happens the whole year and is most active from March to June in China. ②The water cycle always begins with water vapor (水蒸气). When it’s hot outside, you can see clouds forming in the sky. These clouds are made of water vapor that comes from the ground, plants and rivers. As water vapor rises into the sky, it cools down and becomes clouds. After that, clouds travel through the sky and fall back to Earth as rain or snow. Then, water runs through rivers and oceans and finally returns to the earth again in different forms like rainwater or snow. ③The water cycle is important in protecting our Earth’s climate. It provides us with water to drink and keeps our climate healthy. Moreover, it takes water from rivers and oceans and brings it to the areas that don’t have enough water. ________ When there is too much water in one place, it becomes a flood. When water is badly needed, it results in a drought (干旱). Besides, water vapor can take heat from the sun and keep our Earth cool. ④Understanding the water cycle can help us enjoy the beauty of nature, know how our Earth works and find better ways to protect our Earth and that is our duty. 67．What is the main purpose of the water cycle? A．To change water into vapour and clouds. B．To protect Earth’s climate and support life. C．To help us understand nature in a better way. D．To explain why floods and droughts happen. 68．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．When the water cycle is most active. B．The different forms of water on Earth. C．How the water cycle works step by step. D．The problems caused by the water cycle. 69．Which sentence should go in “________” in Paragraph 3? A．However, this cycle is not always perfect. B．Without the cycle, we would face many problems. C．As a result, we must learn to save water in our everyday life. D．In fact, the water cycle is important in different weather conditions. 70．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． F Have you ever felt calm when looking at the blue sky? Or felt energetic when seeing a bright yellow T-shirt? Colors are not just beautiful—they can actually affect how we feel. This study is called color psychology. Red is a strong color. It can make your heart beat faster and raise your blood pressure. That’s why red is often used in warning signs. But red also means love and excitement. Many restaurants use red because it makes people feel hungry. Blue is the opposite. It calms people down. Looking at blue can lower your heart rate and make you feel peaceful. That’s why bedrooms and hospitals are often painted light blue. Blue also makes people feel trustworthy, so many banks use blue in their logos. Yellow is the color of sunshine. It makes people feel happy and energetic. But too much yellow can be tiring to the eyes. Some babies cry more often in bright yellow rooms. So it’s best to use yellow as an accent. Green is a mix of blue and yellow. It is both calming and refreshing. People feel relaxed in green spaces like parks. Green also represents nature and growth. That’s why many schools paint their walls light green—it helps students focus without feeling stressed. Purple has long been connected with royalty and wealth. It can make people feel creative or mysterious. However, too much dark purple might feel sad or heavy. Next time you choose a color for your room or clothes, think about how you want to feel. Color is a powerful tool—use it wisely. 71．What effect can red have on people according to the passage? A．It makes people feel relaxed and peaceful. B．It can improve students’ grades at school. C．It helps babies stay quiet and stop crying. D．It may influence people’s body conditions. 72．Which color can lower heart rate and create peace? A．Red. B．Yellow. C．Blue. D．Purple. 73．What does the underlined word “refreshing” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Making people feel sleepy. B．Making people feel hungry easily. C．Making people feel worried. D．Making people feel fresh and energetic. 74．What can we infer from the passage? A．All bright colors are good for study spaces. B．We can use colors to influence our feelings. C．Dark purple is widely used in young kids’ rooms. D．Yellow is the first choice for hospital walls. 75．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To introduce the history of different colors. B．To show how to use colors to match clothes. C．To explain color psychology and give suggestions. D．To tell readers which color is the most popular. G 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容及选项，从文后选出最合适的选项填入空格内，选项中有两项多余。 Earthquakes are one of the most serious natural disasters. 76 It is a good way recommended by emergency management organizations (应急管理组织) in many countries. Remember these following tips, and you may protect yourself and your family. Drop to your hands and knees under a table or desk. In the first few seconds after the shaking starts, try to quickly move away from anything that may fall and hurt you. 77 If you’re in a public place, such as a store, do not rush away hurriedly. Get away from glass and walls to find a safe place to take cover. 78 A table or a bed can offer cover from falling things. Get down on your knees and stay under the table until the shaking stops. 79 Heads and necks are the most important as well as the easiest part to get hurt. If you’re in bed during an earthquake, stay there and protect your head and neck with something soft such as thick clothes or soft pillows (枕头). These things are soft enough to protect your head and neck. If there’s nothing helpful, cover your face, head and neck with your hands and arms carefully. Hold on and keep careful. Stay until the shaking completely stops. Keep careful even when you get up as aftershocks (余震) can happen at any time after an earthquake. 80 Watch out for broken glass and falling walls. Wear a pair of trainers and put on a pair of long trousers and a shirt. Be careful not to hurt yourself. A．Cover your head and neck. B．Keep calm if you’re trapped. C．You should have a plan during an earthquake. D．If you’re at home, look for a hard piece of furniture. E．If an aftershock happens, “drop, cover, and hold on” until it stops. F．To live during an earthquake, remember “drop, cover, and hold on”. G．Get low and walk away from any danger such as windows and shelves. 四、任务型阅读 Natural disasters are powerful, but humans are not completely helpless. By working together and using technology, we can reduce the damage they cause and protect ourselves. Here is how we fight back. First, we use technology to get early warnings. Scientists use special tools to watch the earth and sky closely. They can often tell us when a big storm, flood, or earthquake might be coming. For example, before a typhoon hits the coast, weather stations send out warnings. This gives people time to prepare, such as moving to a safer place or storing food and water. Second, we build stronger and smarter structures. Engineers design buildings that can stand against the power of nature. In places with many earthquakes, buildings are made to sway a little instead of breaking. In coastal areas, strong walls can help to keep the ocean waves away. For instance, Japan has built high sea walls to protect its towns from tsunamis. Third, community cooperation is the key. When everyone works together, we become stronger. People practise evacuation drills regularly so they know what to do when a disaster really happens. Neighbours check on each other, especially the elderly and children. After a disaster, rescue teams and volunteers from the community and beyond work day and night to help those in need. Some people think we cannot win against nature’s power, and it is true that we cannot stop disasters from happening. However, by preparing well and helping each other, we can greatly reduce the harm they cause. Our best “weapon” is knowledge, preparation, and unity. In short, with early warnings, strong engineering, and community spirit, we can build a safer world even in the face of natural disasters.Task 1: 81．How many main ways to fight against natural disasters does the passage mention? 82．What is the purpose of early warnings before a typhoon? 83．How are buildings in earthquake zones designed to protect people? 84．Why is community cooperation so important according to the passage? Task 2: 85．Imagine you are the leader of your school’s Safety Club. Your town has just received an early warning for a coming typhoon. Based on the passage, write a short speech to tell your schoolmates what they should do to prepare for it. (Use your own words at least 30 words.) 五、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。 The Hongze Lake is in the west of Jiangsu Province. It is the fourth 86 (large) freshwater lake in China.

参考答案 一 、 1．B 【解析】句意：湖里的水比河里的水更干净。 it它，通常指代上文提到的同一事物；that那个，可作代词，用来指代上文提到过的同类事物中的某一个，但不是同一个事物，常用于比较结构中；one一个，泛指上文提到的同类事物中的一个；those那些，是that的复数形式。本句是将湖里的水和河里的水进行比较，属于同类事物的比较，且water是不可数名词，所以用that来指代河里的水，应填that。 2．A

They are beautiful places with nice views and many resources”以及最后一句“This is how our primary school textbook describes them”，可以推断出“them”指代的是前文提到的主语“The Xisha Islands”。 58．根据第二段第二、三句“These islands are far away and have a weak ecosystem. Because of this, most activities there are just fishing, protecting the environment, and doing scientific study.”，可知岛屿遥远（①）和生态系统脆弱（③）是主要原因。 59．根据第四段最后两句“As for smaller fish, fishermen released them back into the sea.”，结合保护生态的语境，渔民通常会将小鱼放生，让它们继续生长。“Let... go”符合语境。 60．根据最后一段渔民的话“his family loved to stay on the island”以及前文描述的舒适生活（comfortable homes, playground, games），可以推断出渔民享受岛上的生活。 61．文章第一段介绍了西沙群岛的概况，接下来的段落详细描述了作者访问永兴岛的见闻，包括渔民的生活、捕鱼方式以及岛上的环境。最后一段通过电影和渔民的感言升华了主题。综合来看，文章旨在介绍西沙群岛及其当地人的生活。 D 62．C 63．A 64．B 65．C 66．B 【解析】本文主要介绍了自然的各种变化对地球上生物生存的重大影响，以及动植物如何通过改变自身来适应环境并繁衍生息。 62．第一段指出：“Nature’s temper has a great influence on all living things on Earth.”，结合下文描述生物必须通过适应来生存可知，自然脾性对生物的生存有着深远影响。 63．第二段明确说明了植物在干旱环境下的生存机制：“Some plants can survive in dry weather, storing water in their leaves or roots.”，这说明它们通过在叶子或根部储存水分来生存。 64．第四段对该词进行了直接解释：“The word ‘adapt’ here means to change oneself to fit the environment.”，这说明“adapt”的意思是改变自己以适应环境。 65．最后一段提到：“Understanding how living things adapt…helps us realize the importance of protecting nature.”，从这句话可以推断出，保护自然环境对于生物的生存与发展至关重要。 66．文章从首段开始便引出“Nature’s temper”这一核心概念，并详细论述了其与各种生物适应与生存的关系，B项“自然的性情与生物”最适合作文章的标题。 E 67．B 68．C 69．B 70．A 【解析】本文主要介绍了水循环的定义、过程及其对维持地球气候、供应水资源和调节温度的重要作用。 67．主旨大意题。通读全文内容，并根据第一段中“Water is important for all living things on Earth.”以及第三段中“The water cycle is important in protecting our Earth’s climate. It provides us with water to drink and keeps our climate healthy.”可知，水循环的主要目的是保护地球气候并维持生命。故选B。 68．主旨大意题。根据第二段“The water cycle always begins with water vapor (水蒸气). When it’s hot outside, you can see clouds forming in the sky…As water vapor rises into the sky, it cools down and becomes clouds. After that, clouds travel through the sky and fall back to Earth as rain or snow. Then, water runs through rivers and oceans and finally returns to the earth again in different forms like rainwater or snow.”可知，第二段从水蒸气开始，依次描述了云的形成、雨雪降落、水通过河流海洋回到地球的过程，详细介绍了水循环的步骤。因此，第二段主要讲水循环一步步如何运作。故选C。 69．推理判断题。前文“The water cycle is important in protecting our Earth’s climate. It provides us with water to drink and keeps our climate healthy. Moreover, it takes water from rivers and oceans and brings it to the areas that don’t have enough water.”阐述了水循环的诸多好处（保护气候、提供饮用水、向缺水地区输送水），后文“When there is too much water in one place, it becomes a flood. When water is badly needed, it results in a drought (干旱).”描述了没有水循环时会出现的洪水、干旱等问题，前后形成“有循环的益处——无循环的后果”的逻辑衔接。B选项“没有这个循环，我们会面临很多问题。”能够自然承接前文，引出后文的具体问题，使段落逻辑连贯。故选B。 70．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段总起，介绍水循环的重要性；第二段分述水循环的具体过程；第三段分述水循环的重要性；最后一段总结理解水循环的意义。整体结构为总——分——总。故选A。 F 71．D 72．C 73．D 74．B 75．C 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了颜色心理学，讲解红、蓝、黄、绿、紫对人情绪和身体的影响，并给出合理用色的建议。 71．文章第二段第二句“It can make your heart beat faster and raise your blood pressure.”指出，红色会影响人的身体状况。 72．文章第三段第二句、第三句“It calms people down.

It is both calming and refreshing.”指出，绿色结合了蓝色的平静和黄色的活力，所以refreshing意思是“让人感到清爽、有活力”。 74．文章第一段倒数第二句“Colors are not just beautiful—they can actually affect how we feel.”和最后一段内容指出，我们可以利用颜色来影响自己的心情。 75．文章先介绍颜色心理学，再分别说明各色影响，最后给出用色建议，作者的主要目的是解释颜色心理学并给出建议。 G 76．F 77．G 78．D 79．A 80．E 【解析】本文主要讲述了在地震时如何保护自己及家人的方法。 76．根据“Earthquakes are one of the most serious natural disasters. ...

B For writers in Western cultures, fall is a season difficult to describe. On the one hand, it is the end of the summer, so it’s a little sad. The nights fall. And when you wake in the morning, there’s fog and it’s cooler: Winter is coming. American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast, “You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare (光秃秃的) against the wind and the cold, wintry light.” On the other hand, fall has its good side. There are many changes in nature at this time of year such as the reds and browns that the leaves change to, and the way they fall from the trees. The French writer Albert Camus even thought fall was a second spring: “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” It’s a view you can also find in the most famous fall poem in English literature, To Autumn by John Keats. In that poem, Keats said that fall has its songs just like spring. Another fall theme is wisdom. The arrival of this season is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature. Their summer peak may have been and gone, but old age has not yet come. At this time, it’s thought that people have learned a thing or two about life. The great Irish poet W.B．Yeats took up this theme in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole. Yeats put together a picture for the readers out ofthe details of the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland, a place he knew well. Seeing and counting 59 swans, he remembered first making the count 19 years ago. He wondered whether he could still love as the lover swans do. Of course, many other themes and subject matters can play a part in the literature of fall. For example, it’s the beginning of a new term of the school year. As you would expect, fall is found in writing for children and young people. But fall writing usually focuses on the changes in nature that we see, which writers often use as a symbol for changes in human life. 54．The underlined word “mature” in Paragraph 4 means “________”. A．thinking about life carefully B．having lived for long C．fully grown and developed D．not growing any longer 55．The writer mentioned some famous writers and poets to ________. A．give details about their works B．compare their books and poems C．show the readers the beauty of fall D．show different understandings of fall 56．What is the passage mainly about? A．Changes in nature. B．Writers in Western cultures. C．Fall in literature. D．Wonders in the best season. C The Xisha Islands are in the northwest part of the South China Sea. They are beautiful places with nice views and many resources (资源). This is how our primary school textbook describes them. Many Chinese people know about the South China Sea and the Xisha Islands, but only a few have been there. These islands are far away and have a weak ecosystem (生态系统). Because of this, most activities there are just fishing, protecting the environment, and doing scientific study. Visitors are mainly government workers, fishermen’s relatives, and media members. In 2007, the Chinese government set up Sansha City on Xisha’s Yongxing Island. I once visited Yongxing Island. I thought the fishermen’s homes would be simple, but they were very comfortable. The island had a vegetable garden, and green vegetables were seen on the local tables. I stayed in a hotel with a playground downstairs. After dinner, everyone got together to play games. Later, I walked along the island’s paths, enjoying the sea view and peaceful moment. Fishermen told me they used traditional ways to fish. They knew exactly which fish could be caught because of their different sizes. As for smaller fish, fishermen released them back into the sea. One thing that I never forgot was an outdoor movie called Island Keeper. It was about a couple who guarded the island for 32 years. Many fishermen were moved to tears. One fisherman said as life on the island improved, his family loved to stay on the island during the fishing season. He also drove a passenger boat, so he made more money even when he was not fishing. 57．What does the word “them” in paragraph 1 refer to? A．Nice views. B．The Xisha Islands. C．Many resources. D．The South China Sea. 58．What causes only a few people to visit the Xisha Islands? ①The islands are far away. ②Not many people know the islands. ③The ecosystem there is weak. ④The islands are used for scientific study. A．①② B．③④ C．①③ D．②④ 59．What does the underlined word “released” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Looked for. B．Cut... down. C．Took care of. D．Let… go. 60．What can we infer from the text now? A．Fishermen catch fish in modern ways. B．Fishermen enjoy their life on the islands. C．More and more visitors come to the Xisha Islands now. D．The living conditions of fishermen are poor and simple. 61．What is the main idea of the text? A．To introduce the Xisha Islands and the life of people there B．To explain how to protect the ecosystem of the Xisha Islands C．To encourage more tourists to visit the Xisha Islands D．To describe the history of Sansha City on Yongxing Island D Nature’s temper has a great influence on all living things on Earth. Every plant and animal has learned to adapt to nature’s changes, whether they are gentle or fierce. This adaptation helps them survive and pass on their life. Some plants can survive in dry weather, storing water in their leaves or roots. When nature shows its fierce side with little rain, these plants can still live. Other plants, like lotus, grow in water and need plenty of rain to thrive. They adapt to nature’s gentle side in rainy seasons, growing quickly and beautifully. Animals also have their own ways to adapt to nature’s temper. Birds fly to warm places when winter comes, avoiding the cold. Some animals hibernate in winter, sleeping through the cold days until spring comes. When summer is hot, many animals hide in cool places, coming out to look for food in the evening. The word “adapt” here means to change oneself to fit the environment. Without this ability, many living things would not survive. Nature’s temper is not always kind, but it is fair. It gives every living thing a chance to survive, as long as they can adapt. Understanding how living things adapt to nature’s temper helps us realize the importance of protecting nature. We should not destroy their living environment, but let them live in harmony with nature’s changes. 62．What influence does nature’s temper have on living things? A．It has no influence. B．It helps them grow better. C．It has a great influence on their survival. D．It makes them die easily. 63．How do some plants survive in dry weather? A．They store water in leaves or roots. B．They die quickly. C．They need plenty of rain. D．They grow in water. 64．What does the underlined word “adapt” mean in the passage? A．To give up. B．To change oneself to fit the environment. C．To destroy the environment. D．To live in cold places. 65．What can we infer from the passage? A．Living things don’t need to adapt to nature’s temper. B．Nature’s temper is always kind to living things. C．Protecting nature is important for living things. D．All animals hibernate in winter. 66．What is the best title for the passage? A．How Animals Survive in Winter. B．Nature’s Temper and Living Things. C．Plants and Their Living Habits. D．The Importance of Rain. E ①Water is important for all living things on Earth. The water cycle (循环) takes water from the ground and the sky and brings it back to the Earth again. It is a cycle that happens the whole year and is most active from March to June in China. ②The water cycle always begins with water vapor (水蒸气). When it’s hot outside, you can see clouds forming in the sky. These clouds are made of water vapor that comes from the ground, plants and rivers. As water vapor rises into the sky, it cools down and becomes clouds. After that, clouds travel through the sky and fall back to Earth as rain or snow. Then, water runs through rivers and oceans and finally returns to the earth again in different forms like rainwater or snow. ③The water cycle is important in protecting our Earth’s climate. It provides us with water to drink and keeps our climate healthy. Moreover, it takes water from rivers and oceans and brings it to the areas that don’t have enough water. ________ When there is too much water in one place, it becomes a flood. When water is badly needed, it results in a drought (干旱). Besides, water vapor can take heat from the sun and keep our Earth cool. ④Understanding the water cycle can help us enjoy the beauty of nature, know how our Earth works and find better ways to protect our Earth and that is our duty. 67．What is the main purpose of the water cycle? A．To change water into vapour and clouds. B．To protect Earth’s climate and support life. C．To help us understand nature in a better way. D．To explain why floods and droughts happen. 68．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．When the water cycle is most active. B．The different forms of water on Earth. C．How the water cycle works step by step. D．The problems caused by the water cycle. 69．Which sentence should go in “________” in Paragraph 3? A．However, this cycle is not always perfect. B．Without the cycle, we would face many problems. C．As a result, we must learn to save water in our everyday life. D．In fact, the water cycle is important in different weather conditions. 70．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． F Have you ever felt calm when looking at the blue sky? Or felt energetic when seeing a bright yellow T-shirt? Colors are not just beautiful—they can actually affect how we feel. This study is called color psychology. Red is a strong color. It can make your heart beat faster and raise your blood pressure. That’s why red is often used in warning signs. But red also means love and excitement. Many restaurants use red because it makes people feel hungry. Blue is the opposite. It calms people down. Looking at blue can lower your heart rate and make you feel peaceful. That’s why bedrooms and hospitals are often painted light blue. Blue also makes people feel trustworthy, so many banks use blue in their logos. Yellow is the color of sunshine. It makes people feel happy and energetic. But too much yellow can be tiring to the eyes. Some babies cry more often in bright yellow rooms. So it’s best to use yellow as an accent. Green is a mix of blue and yellow. It is both calming and refreshing. People feel relaxed in green spaces like parks. Green also represents nature and growth. That’s why many schools paint their walls light green—it helps students focus without feeling stressed. Purple has long been connected with royalty and wealth. It can make people feel creative or mysterious. However, too much dark purple might feel sad or heavy. Next time you choose a color for your room or clothes, think about how you want to feel. Color is a powerful tool—use it wisely. 71．What effect can red have on people according to the passage? A．It makes people feel relaxed and peaceful. B．It can improve students’ grades at school. C．It helps babies stay quiet and stop crying. D．It may influence people’s body conditions. 72．Which color can lower heart rate and create peace? A．Red. B．Yellow. C．Blue. D．Purple. 73．What does the underlined word “refreshing” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Making people feel sleepy. B．Making people feel hungry easily. C．Making people feel worried. D．Making people feel fresh and energetic. 74．What can we infer from the passage? A．All bright colors are good for study spaces. B．We can use colors to influence our feelings.

Remember these following tips, and you may protect yourself and your family. Drop to your hands and knees under a table or desk. In the first few seconds after the shaking starts, try to quickly move away from anything that may fall and hurt you. 77 If you’re in a public place, such as a store, do not rush away hurriedly. Get away from glass and walls to find a safe place to take cover. 78 A table or a bed can offer cover from falling things. Get down on your knees and stay under the table until the shaking stops. 79 Heads and necks are the most important as well as the easiest part to get hurt. If you’re in bed during an earthquake, stay there and protect your head and neck with something soft such as thick clothes or soft pillows (枕头). These things are soft enough to protect your head and neck. If there’s nothing helpful, cover your face, head and neck with your hands and arms carefully. Hold on and keep careful. Stay until the shaking completely stops. Keep careful even when you get up as aftershocks (余震) can happen at any time after an earthquake. 80 Watch out for broken glass and falling walls. Wear a pair of trainers and put on a pair of long trousers and a shirt. Be careful not to hurt yourself. A．Cover your head and neck. B．Keep calm if you’re trapped. C．You should have a plan during an earthquake. D．If you’re at home, look for a hard piece of furniture. E．If an aftershock happens, “drop, cover, and hold on” until it stops. F．To live during an earthquake, remember “drop, cover, and hold on”. G．Get low and walk away from any danger such as windows and shelves. 四、任务型阅读 Natural disasters are powerful, but humans are not completely helpless. By working together and using technology, we can reduce the damage they cause and protect ourselves. Here is how we fight back. First, we use technology to get early warnings. Scientists use special tools to watch the earth and sky closely. They can often tell us when a big storm, flood, or earthquake might be coming. For example, before a typhoon hits the coast, weather stations send out warnings. This gives people time to prepare, such as moving to a safer place or storing food and water. Second, we build stronger and smarter structures. Engineers design buildings that can stand against the power of nature. In places with many earthquakes, buildings are made to sway a little instead of breaking. In coastal areas, strong walls can help to keep the ocean waves away. For instance, Japan has built high sea walls to protect its towns from tsunamis. Third, community cooperation is the key. When everyone works together, we become stronger. People practise evacuation drills regularly so they know what to do when a disaster really happens. Neighbours check on each other, especially the elderly and children. After a disaster, rescue teams and volunteers from the community and beyond work day and night to help those in need. Some people think we cannot win against nature’s power, and it is true that we cannot stop disasters from happening. However, by preparing well and helping each other, we can greatly reduce the harm they cause. Our best “weapon” is knowledge, preparation, and unity. In short, with early warnings, strong engineering, and community spirit, we can build a safer world even in the face of natural disasters.Task 1: 81．How many main ways to fight against natural disasters does the passage mention? 82．What is the purpose of early warnings before a typhoon? 83．How are buildings in earthquake zones designed to protect people? 84．Why is community cooperation so important according to the passage?
