【导语】本文介绍了社区居民为共建绿色家园所做的努力,包括种植花草树木、减少垃圾浪费和节约能源,并强调邻里合作让社区更美好宜居。
7.句意:每个人都在尽自己的一份力,让它变得越来越干净、越来越绿。
and greener提示并列比较级,cleaner“更干净的”符合语境。dirtier“更脏的”、bigger“更大的”、smaller“更小的”均与“建设绿色社区”的环保目标矛盾。
8.句意:我们也通过浇水和除草来照顾它们。
plant trees and flowers后需要look after“照顾”来维持生长,符合语境。look at“看”、look for“寻找”、look like“看起来像”均不能与watering and weeding构成“养护”的语义。
9.句意:我们使用可重复使用的袋子,而不是塑料袋。
instead of plastic ones说明是环保替代品,reusable“可重复使用的”符合语境。unable“不能的”、enjoyable“令人愉快的”、comfortable“舒适的”均不能描述环保袋的属性。
10.句意:我们离开房间时关灯。
save energy的具体行为是turn off lights“关灯”,符合语境。turn on“打开”、turn up“调高”、turn down“调低”均与“节约用电”的目标矛盾。
11.句意:每个人,从小孩到大人都参与其中。
kids to adults“小孩到大人”,adults符合语境。men“男人”、women“女人”范围不完整,students“学生”与kids交叉,均不能如adults概括所有成人群体。
12.句意:通过做这些简单的事情,我们正在建设一个绿色宜人的社区。
and连接green与一个并列形容词描述社区,pleasant“宜人的”符合语境。bad“坏的”、sad“悲伤的”、pleased“高兴的”形容人的感受,均不能修饰社区环境。

The world has a plastic problem, and it is increasing. Scientists are working hard to find a long-term solution, but in the meantime, here are five things you can do to 13 plastic waste now.
(1) Stop using plastic bags. Instead, take your own reusable shopping bags to the store. People use a 14 number of plastic bags nearly a trillion (万亿) worldwide every year. About 10 percent are used in the US. That’s almost one bag per American per day. In 1993, Denmark was the 15 country to place a tax (税) on plastic bags. Today, other countries (such as Chile, Kenya and New Zealand) either make customers pay for plastic bags, or have banned (禁止) them completely.
(2) Skip the straw (吸管). Today, around 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world’s beaches. So when you order a drink, say “no” to plastic straws or bring your own reusable one. In 2018, Seattle started to ban plastic straws and many other cities are set to follow its 16 .
(3) Don’t use plastic bottles. Buy a reusable bottle and 17 it with any type 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)Avoid (避免) plastic packaging. Don’t buy fruit or vegetables in plastic packaging. In the U.K., leaders are calling for (呼吁,号召) 18 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 possible to recycle most bottles and milk or juice cartons.
13.A.change B.reduce C.cause D.save
14.A.small B.low C.high D.huge
15.A.best B.last C.first D.top
16.A.example B.rule C.fact D.record
17.A.decorate B.fill C.hit D.play
18.A.schools B.neighbourhoods C.supermarkets D.governments
【答案】13.B 14.D 15.C 16.A 17.B 18.C
【导语】本文指出了全球日益严重的塑料污染问题,并提出了五项个人可以立即采取的行动来减少塑料废物,包括停止使用塑料袋、吸管和塑料瓶,避免塑料包装以及进行回收。
13.句意:科学家们正在努力寻找长期的解决方案,但与此同时,这里有五件你现在就可以做的事情来减少塑料废物。
根据上下文讨论塑料污染问题,这些行动的目的是“减少”塑料废物,应用reduce。change“改变”、cause“导致”、save“拯救”均不符合减少污染的目的。
14.句意:全世界每年使用的塑料袋数量巨大,接近一万亿个。
根据后文“nearly a trillion”可知,这个数字非常“巨大”,应用huge。small“小的”、low“低的”、high“高的”(可形容数字,但huge更强调规模巨大)均不如huge贴切。
15.句意:1993年,丹麦是第一个对塑料袋征税的国家。
根据历史事实及后文提到其他国家后来效仿,丹麦是首创者,应用first。best“最好的”、last“最后的”、top“顶级的”均不符合时间顺序。
16.句意:2018年,西雅图开始禁止使用塑料吸管,许多其他城市也准备效仿。
固定搭配follow one’s example,意为“效仿某人的榜样”,应用example。rule“规则”、fact“事实”、record“记录”均不符合此固定短语。
17.句意:买一个可重复使用的水瓶,装满任何你喜欢的饮料。
固定搭配fill with,意为“用……装满”,应用fill。decorate“装饰”、hit“打击”、play“玩”均不符合装饮料的语境。
18.句意:在英国,领导人呼吁超市设立无塑料区。
根据上下文,塑料包装和容器主要在超市等零售场所使用,因此呼吁“超市”设立无塑料区更为合理,应用supermarkets。schools“学校”、neighbourhoods“社区”、governments“政府”均不符合设立无塑料区的直接场景。

The Greens were having a picnic. Empty bottles and plastic bags covered the grass. Suddenly, a spaceship appeared and an alien (外星人) flew out.
“Hello! I’m Zaza from Planet Junk. My planet is like a huge dustbin (垃圾桶), so I’m looking for a new home.” He looked around. “Someone told me Earth was beautiful, but this planet looks as dirty as mine!”
The Greens’ faces turned red—they really shouldn’t leave rubbish everywhere.
“Are those green things trees?” Zaza said excitedly, “On my planet, they were all cut down long ago, but you have so many. How lucky you are!”
At the same time, Mr Green noticed a newspaper with the title: More Rainforests Disappeared. His face burned. He quickly sat on it, trying to hide it.
Later, the Greens took Zaza to the beach. Mrs. Green told him that people came here to play and relax, hoping to show Earth was still a nice place. But Zaza saw plastic bags, cans, newspapers and bottles everywhere. He even thought this was a “recycling centre”.
Then the Greens took Zaza to their home. As Mr Green opened the door, lights were on in every room, even though the family had been out all day.
Zaza was disappointed, “I can’t live on Earth. If you keep making so much rubbish and wasting so much energy, my planet’s today will be yours tomorrow. Bye!”
As Zaza flew off, Mr Green stood still for a moment. “He’s right. ▲ . Let’s clean up the rubbish and turn off the lights.”
High above, Zaza saw the green grass slowly becoming clean again. “Maybe there’s hope.” he thought, and flew away.
6.Zaza came to Earth to ________.
A.have a picnic. B.find a new home.
C.see the trees. D.visit the beach.
7.Why did Mr Green try to hide the newspaper?
A.He felt sorry. B.He was playful.

9.Which can be put in ▲ ?
A.Our planet is perfect. B.Here is a new home for all.
C.We should protect our planet. D.Don’t be hard on ourselves.
10.What is the main purpose of the story?
A.To describe a family’s picnic. B.To tell a story about an alien.
C.To introduce different places. D.To push people to care for the earth.
【答案】6.B 7.A 8.A 9.C 10.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一个外星人来到地球寻找新家园,却发现地球被垃圾和浪费能源的问题困扰,最终提醒人类要保护环境的故事。
6.第一段中Zaza自我介绍时说:“I’m looking for a new home”,第三段他再次提到寻找新家,因此他来地球的目的是寻找新家园。
7.第六段提到Mr Green看到报纸标题“More Rainforests Disappeared”后脸红,并试图藏起报纸,说明他感到羞愧和歉意。
8.第七段中Zaza在海滩看到“plastic bags, cans, newspapers and bottles”,因此①②③正确;他误以为这里是“recycling centre”只是他自己的联想,并非真的看到牌子,故不选④。
9.第十一段中Mr Green意识到Zaza说得对,空白处应表达“我们应保护地球”的意思,C项符合语境。
10.全文通过外星人的视角揭露地球的环境问题,最终目的是呼吁人们关爱地球、保护环境,因此D项最符合主旨。
(C)
For most people in Guangdong, Minqin, a county (县) in Gansu Province, is a strange name. It lies in the northeastern part of the Hexi Corridor, surrounded by the Tengger and Badain Jaran Deserts on three sides. The desertified (沙漠化) land there takes up 88.18% of the county’s total area. The annual rainfall is only about 100 millimeters, while the evaporation rate is over 2,000 millimeters. It is one of the main sources of sandstorms in China.
Since 1950, local people have been fighting against desertification, building three lines of defense to stop the two deserts from moving south. In 2024, a public welfare activity called “Come Plant a Tree in Minqin” became popular online. It has attracted tens of thousands of volunteers from all over China. By the end of spring planting this year, over 32,000 volunteers had come to Minqin, including a large group from Guangdong, more than 2,000 kilometers away.
On April 23, a post-1995 (95后) girl named Chen Yumeng from Shenzhen was working in the planting area. It was her fifth day in Minqin and her first day as the team leader. Suddenly, a strong sandstorm came. The wind was blowing at force 7-8, carrying yellow sand. The sky turned dark yellow at once. Chen held the first-aid kit in her pocket and called her teammates to gather near the water truck. Sand hitting her windbreaker made a loud sound, but she stayed calm and kept everyone safe.
Many other young people from Guangdong also changed their plans to join the activity. Some gave up their planned trips to the northwest; others changed their flight tickets right at the airport. They came to the desert with only simple tools, and planted trees one by one, bringing “Guangdong Green” to the dry land. By April 25, the activity had finished planting 2,000 mu of land and moved into the seedling care period. Every tree planted by the volunteers will grow into a part of the green wall, protecting the land from sandstorms.
11.The underlined word “evaporation” in Para. 1 probably means ________.
A.dehydration B.rainfall C.dirt D.temperature
12.The writer uses the example of Chen Yumeng in Paragraph 3 mainly to ________.
A.introduce the weather of Minqin
B.show how serious the sandstorm was
C.describe the challenges volunteers face
D.explain how to be a good team leader
13.Which picture best matches the main activity described in the passage?
A.B.C.D.
14.Where is this passage most likely from?
A.A science textbook about plants
B.A travel guidebook for Gansu
C.A news report about environmental protection
D.A storybook about teenagers’ adventures
15.According to the passage, what will most probably happen next?
A.Chen Yumeng will go back to Shenzhen immediately.
B.Minqin will stop the tree-planting activity forever.
C.The two deserts will soon meet in the middle of Minqin.
D.The volunteers will continue to take care of the young trees.

The world has a plastic problem, and it is increasing. Scientists are working hard to find a long-term solution, but in the meantime, here are five things you can do to 13 plastic waste now.
(1) Stop using plastic bags. Instead, take your own reusable shopping bags to the store. People use a 14 number of plastic bags nearly a trillion (万亿) worldwide every year. About 10 percent are used in the US. That’s almost one bag per American per day. In 1993, Denmark was the 15 country to place a tax (税) on plastic bags. Today, other countries (such as Chile, Kenya and New Zealand) either make customers pay for plastic bags, or have banned (禁止) them completely.

The Greens were having a picnic. Empty bottles and plastic bags covered the grass. Suddenly, a spaceship appeared and an alien (外星人) flew out.
“Hello! I’m Zaza from Planet Junk. My planet is like a huge dustbin (垃圾桶), so I’m looking for a new home.” He looked around. “Someone told me Earth was beautiful, but this planet looks as dirty as mine!”
The Greens’ faces turned red—they really shouldn’t leave rubbish everywhere.
“Are those green things trees?” Zaza said excitedly, “On my planet, they were all cut down long ago, but you have so many. How lucky you are!”
At the same time, Mr Green noticed a newspaper with the title: More Rainforests Disappeared. His face burned. He quickly sat on it, trying to hide it.
Later, the Greens took Zaza to the beach. Mrs. Green told him that people came here to play and relax, hoping to show Earth was still a nice place. But Zaza saw plastic bags, cans, newspapers and bottles everywhere. He even thought this was a “recycling centre”.
Then the Greens took Zaza to their home. As Mr Green opened the door, lights were on in every room, even though the family had been out all day.
Zaza was disappointed, “I can’t live on Earth. If you keep making so much rubbish and wasting so much energy, my planet’s today will be yours tomorrow. Bye!”
As Zaza flew off, Mr Green stood still for a moment. “He’s right. ▲ . Let’s clean up the rubbish and turn off the lights.”
High above, Zaza saw the green grass slowly becoming clean again. “Maybe there’s hope.” he thought, and flew away.

For most people in Guangdong, Minqin, a county (县) in Gansu Province, is a strange name. It lies in the northeastern part of the Hexi Corridor, surrounded by the Tengger and Badain Jaran Deserts on three sides. The desertified (沙漠化) land there takes up 88.18% of the county’s total area. The annual rainfall is only about 100 millimeters, while the evaporation rate is over 2,000 millimeters. It is one of the main sources of sandstorms in China.
Since 1950, local people have been fighting against desertification, building three lines of defense to stop the two deserts from moving south. In 2024, a public welfare activity called “Come Plant a Tree in Minqin” became popular online. It has attracted tens of thousands of volunteers from all over China. By the end of spring planting this year, over 32,000 volunteers had come to Minqin, including a large group from Guangdong, more than 2,000 kilometers away.
On April 23, a post-1995 (95后) girl named Chen Yumeng from Shenzhen was working in the planting area. It was her fifth day in Minqin and her first day as the team leader. Suddenly, a strong sandstorm came. The wind was blowing at force 7-8, carrying yellow sand. The sky turned dark yellow at once. Chen held the first-aid kit in her pocket and called her teammates to gather near the water truck. Sand hitting her windbreaker made a loud sound, but she stayed calm and kept everyone safe.
Many other young people from Guangdong also changed their plans to join the activity. Some gave up their planned trips to the northwest; others changed their flight tickets right at the airport. They came to the desert with only simple tools, and planted trees one by one, bringing “Guangdong Green” to the dry land. By April 25, the activity had finished planting 2,000 mu of land and moved into the seedling care period. Every tree planted by the volunteers will grow into a part of the green wall, protecting the land from sandstorms.
11.The underlined word “evaporation” in Para. 1 probably means ________.
A.dehydration B.rainfall C.dirt D.temperature
12.The writer uses the example of Chen Yumeng in Paragraph 3 mainly to ________.

14.Where is this passage most likely from?
A.A science textbook about plants
B.A travel guidebook for Gansu
C.A news report about environmental protection
D.A storybook about teenagers’ adventures
15.According to the passage, what will most probably happen next?
A.Chen Yumeng will go back to Shenzhen immediately.
B.Minqin will stop the tree-planting activity forever.
C.The two deserts will soon meet in the middle of Minqin.
