六、阅读理解。
阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
①Plastic waste is one of the biggest problems our planet faces. Plastic doesn’t go away easily. It stays in the environment for hundreds of years, causing harm to animals, oceans, and nature. Every year, millions of animals suffer because of plastic. Some get sick after eating it, while others get trapped in it. And those huge “plastic islands” in the oceans just keep getting bigger.
②But guess what? Scientists have found something amazing. They’ve found that certain plants and fungi (真菌) can really “eat” plastic! In one experiment, scientists placed a plastic bottle and some fungi inside a box. After a few weeks, the fungi produced special chemicals. These chemicals slowly turned the plastic into tiny pieces. By the end of the experiment, most of the bottle was gone, leaving behind only safe things like water and air. This shows how powerful fungi can be in fighting plastic waste.
③Scientists also found other fungi and small living things in forests and mountains that can break down plastic. These little helpers live well even in bad conditions. Since there are so many of them, they’re great at breaking down hard plastics.
④This finding could change how we ▲ plastic. Old ways like recycling are expensive and don’t always work perfectly. Using plants and fungi to get rid of plastic would cost less and be much friendlier to the environment than factories.
⑤However, there are still problems. First, we need to grow enough of these plastic-eating fungi. And we must make sure they don’t cause any new problems for nature. Also, scientists need to do more research to help these fungi work well in the real world, not just in labs.
⑥Even with these problems, there’s a lot of hope. We could create special farms in the oceans and polluted areas to grow these helpful fungi and plants. With more of them around, they can break down plastic waste faster and more effectively.
⑦If we can make the most of these special fungi, we might finally solve the plastic pollution problem and make our Earth a cleaner place. Scientists are working hard to find out the best ways to use fungi against plastic pollution in the future.
1.What did the scientists find according to their experiment in Paragraph 2?
A.Plastic pollution is quite hard to solve. B.Fungi can really break plastic waste.
C.People can use fungi instead of plastic. D.Plastic will produce new chemicals.
2.Which phrase is the most suitable to be filled in the ▲ ?
A.hand out B.tidy up C.deal with D.care about
3.According to the last paragraph, what might the writer talk about next?
A.The future use of plastic-eating fungi. B.New ways to make our Earth cleaner.
C.Other ways of solving plastic pollution. D.Some new experiments from scientists.
4.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?(①=Para.1, ②=Para. 2...)
A. B.
C. D.
七、阅读还原。

Last year, my father decided to do something about all our wasted food. One family makes nearly 500 pounds of food waste each year. 3 If we treat food waste with care, it can be changed from rubbish to a rich, dark earth known as compost (肥料).
“ 4 ” Dad said one night at dinner. “I bought a compost bin today. From now on, we will put it in the compost bin. Mother Nature will slowly turn it from rubbish into earth.”
5 But soon, we all got into the habit of taking our food waste to the compost bin in the backyard. In three months, we were excited to find it full of rich compost material!
A.We can’t keep doing this.
B.It took a while to get used to it.

Green Switzerland: A Beautiful and Clean Country
Part 1: Read and Explore
Switzerland is a small country in Europe, and it is famous for being green and clean. It has beautiful mountains, clear lakes and fresh air. Most of its land is covered with green grass and trees. The people of Switzerland love their country and work hard to keep it clean and green. It is a great example for the world to learn how to protect the environment.
There are many reasons why Switzerland is so green. First, the government makes strict rules to protect the environment. People can’t throw rubbish everywhere, and factories can’t pour dirty water into rivers or let dirty air go into the sky. Second, people in Switzerland have good environmental habits. They sort their rubbish carefully, save water and electricity, and often walk or ride bikes instead of driving cars.
Switzerland’s green environment brings many benefits. The fresh air is good for people’s health, and the clear lakes provide clean water for people to drink. The green mountains and beautiful scenery also attract many visitors from all over the world. Besides, protecting the environment helps keep all living things safe and happy, making Switzerland a wonderful place to live in.
People in Switzerland do many small things to keep their country green. They plant trees every year to make more green areas. They use clean energy, like solar energy and wind energy, instead of burning coal or oil. They also teach children to love the environment from a young age, so the good habits can be passed on.
Switzerland shows us that everyone can help make the world greener. We can learn from the Swiss people: sort rubbish, save energy and protect plants and trees. If we all do our part, our world will become as beautiful and clean as Switzerland.

①Plastic waste is one of the biggest problems our planet faces. Plastic doesn’t go away easily. It stays in the environment for hundreds of years, causing harm to animals, oceans, and nature. Every year, millions of animals suffer because of plastic. Some get sick after eating it, while others get trapped in it. And those huge “plastic islands” in the oceans just keep getting bigger.

④This finding could change how we ▲ plastic. Old ways like recycling are expensive and don’t always work perfectly. Using plants and fungi to get rid of plastic would cost less and be much friendlier to the environment than factories.
⑤However, there are still problems. First, we need to grow enough of these plastic-eating fungi. And we must make sure they don’t cause any new problems for nature. Also, scientists need to do more research to help these fungi work well in the real world, not just in labs.
⑥Even with these problems, there’s a lot of hope. We could create special farms in the oceans and polluted areas to grow these helpful fungi and plants. With more of them around, they can break down plastic waste faster and more effectively.
⑦If we can make the most of these special fungi, we might finally solve the plastic pollution problem and make our Earth a cleaner place. Scientists are working hard to find out the best ways to use fungi against plastic pollution in the future.
1.What did the scientists find according to their experiment in Paragraph 2?
A.Plastic pollution is quite hard to solve. B.Fungi can really break plastic waste.
C.People can use fungi instead of plastic. D.Plastic will produce new chemicals.
2.Which phrase is the most suitable to be filled in the ▲ ?
A.hand out B.tidy up C.deal with D.care about
3.According to the last paragraph, what might the writer talk about next?
A.The future use of plastic-eating fungi. B.New ways to make our Earth cleaner.
C.Other ways of solving plastic pollution. D.Some new experiments from scientists.
4.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?(①=Para.1, ②=Para. 2...)
A. B.
C. D.
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.A 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要探讨塑料污染问题的严重性及科学家发现的真菌降解塑料的潜在解决方案。
1.细节理解题。根据文章第②段“Scientists placed a plastic bottle and some fungi inside a box… By the end of the experiment, most of the bottle was gone.”可知,科学家将塑料瓶和真菌放入盒子中,实验结束时,大部分塑料瓶消失了。故实验证明真菌能分解塑料。 故选B。
2.词句猜测题。根据第④段上下文“Old ways like recycling are expensive… Using plants and fungi to get rid of plastic would cost less…”可知,传统回收方式昂贵,利用真菌处理塑料成本更低。故空缺处需填入与“处理”塑料相关的动词短语, “deal with”最符合语境。 故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据第⑦段“Scientists are working hard to find out the best ways to use fungi against plastic pollution in the future.”可知,科学家正努力研究未来利用真菌对抗塑料污染的最佳方式。故下文很可能继续讨论真菌的未来应用。 故选A。
4.篇章结构题。分析文章结构脉络,第①段提出问题,塑料污染严重性;第②③④段介绍真菌降解塑料这一科学发现;第⑤⑥段介绍真菌降解塑料存在的问题及解决方法;第⑦段总结全文。故选A。
七、阅读还原。
阅读下面短文,从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,使短文通顺,结构完整,其中有一项是多余选项。
My father is a quiet man. There is only one thing that easily gets him excited. 1 Or I should say, he is crazy about rubbish problems!
“We have become a ‘throw-away’ society”, he says. “We buy and buy, and then we throw it away. 2 ” My father doesn’t just talk about it, but he tries to find a way.
Last year, my father decided to do something about all our wasted food. One family makes nearly 500 pounds of food waste each year. 3 If we treat food waste with care, it can be changed from rubbish to a rich, dark earth known as compost (肥料).
“ 4 ” Dad said one night at dinner. “I bought a compost bin today. From now on, we will put it in the compost bin. Mother Nature will slowly turn it from rubbish into earth.”
5 But soon, we all got into the habit of taking our food waste to the compost bin in the backyard. In three months, we were excited to find it full of rich compost material!
A.We can’t keep doing this.
B.It took a while to get used to it.
C.Just say the word “rubbish” to him!
D.He believes in speaking less but doing more.
E.We are going to start composting our food waste.
F.However, there is something that we can do about it.

【导语】本文讲述了作者的父亲非常关注垃圾问题。他买了堆肥桶,将食物残渣转化为肥料,最后全家都养成了这个好习惯,成功地转化出丰富的堆肥材料。
1.根据下文“Or I should say, he is crazy about rubbish problems!”可知,让作者父亲兴奋的点是垃圾;选项C“直接对他说‘垃圾’这个词!”符合语境。故选C。
2.根据上文“We buy and buy, and then we throw it away.”可知,不停地买和扔会产生垃圾问题;选项A“我们不能再这样下去了。”符合语境。故选A。
3.根据下文“If we treat food waste with care, it can be changed from rubbish to a rich, dark earth known as compost (肥料).”可知,此处以处理食物垃圾为例,说明我们有办法处理垃圾;选项F“然而,我们可以做一些事情。”符合语境。故选F。
4.根据上文“If we treat food waste with care, it can be changed from rubbish to a rich, dark earth known as compost (肥料).”可知,食物垃圾可以变成堆肥;再根据下文“I bought a compost bin today. From now on, we will put it in the compost bin.”可知,此处指把食物处理成堆肥;选项E“我们将开始把我们的食物垃圾制成堆肥。”符合语境。故选E。
5.根据下文“But soon, we all got into the habit of taking our food waste to the compost bin in the backyard.”可知,作者一家养成了把食物垃圾放到后院的堆肥箱里的习惯。选项B“花了一段时间才适应。”符合语境。故选B。

Green Switzerland: A Beautiful and Clean Country
Part 1: Read and Explore
Switzerland is a small country in Europe, and it is famous for being green and clean. It has beautiful mountains, clear lakes and fresh air. Most of its land is covered with green grass and trees. The people of Switzerland love their country and work hard to keep it clean and green. It is a great example for the world to learn how to protect the environment.
There are many reasons why Switzerland is so green. First, the government makes strict rules to protect the environment. People can’t throw rubbish everywhere, and factories can’t pour dirty water into rivers or let dirty air go into the sky. Second, people in Switzerland have good environmental habits. They sort their rubbish carefully, save water and electricity, and often walk or ride bikes instead of driving cars.
Switzerland’s green environment brings many benefits. The fresh air is good for people’s health, and the clear lakes provide clean water for people to drink. The green mountains and beautiful scenery also attract many visitors from all over the world. Besides, protecting the environment helps keep all living things safe and happy, making Switzerland a wonderful place to live in.
People in Switzerland do many small things to keep their country green. They plant trees every year to make more green areas. They use clean energy, like solar energy and wind energy, instead of burning coal or oil. They also teach children to love the environment from a young age, so the good habits can be passed on.
Switzerland shows us that everyone can help make the world greener. We can learn from the Swiss people: sort rubbish, save energy and protect plants and trees. If we all do our part, our world will become as beautiful and clean as Switzerland.
