They move out of busy cities and build their homes in the countryside, near forests, or by the sea. They want to wake up to the sound of birds singing and breathe fresh air every day. One of these people is Sarah, a 35-year-old woman from London. Two years ago, she left her job in the city and moved to a small village in the mountains. She now lives in a wooden house that she helped build herself. She grows her own vegetables and keeps a few chickens. She uses solar panels to get electricity and collects rainwater for her garden. "My life is simpler now, but I feel much happier," Sarah says. "In the city, I was always busy and stressed. Here, I have time to walk in the woods, watch the sunset, and just enjoy the beauty around me. Nature has taught me to slow down and appreciate the little things." Of course, living in nature is not always easy. The weather can be hard, and there are insects and wild animals to deal with. But Sarah says the advantages are much greater than the difficulties. "I feel like I am part of nature now, not just a visitor. I take care of the land, and the land takes care of me." More and more young people are following Sarah's example. They want to live in a way that is kinder to the environment. Some build eco-friendly homes, some start organic farms, and others simply spend more time outdoors. They all believe that humans should live in harmony with nature, not against it. 16. Why did Sarah leave London? A. She lost her job there. B. She wanted to live closer to nature. C. The weather there was too bad. D. Her family moved to the countryside. 17. How does Sarah get electricity? A. From the city. B. By using solar panels. C. From a river nearby. D. She doesn't use electricity. 18. What does Sarah think of her new life? A. She thinks it is boring. B. She thinks it is too difficult. C. She thinks it is simpler but happier. D. She wants to go back to the city. 19. What does the underlined word "appreciate" in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. 抱怨 B. 忽视 C. 欣赏 D. 改变 20. What is the main idea of this passage? A. How to build a house in the forest. B. More people are choosing to live in harmony with nature. C. City life is better than country life. D. How to grow vegetables in a garden. 第二篇 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） How Animals Live with Nature Animals are masters at living in harmony with nature. They don't build factories or pollute rivers. Instead, they find amazing ways to survive and even help the environment around them. Beavers are called "nature's engineers" for a good reason. They build dams in rivers using branches, mud, and stones. These dams create small ponds that become homes for many other animals, such as fish, frogs, and birds. The ponds also help prevent flooding by slowing down the water. Earthworms might look small and unimportant, but they play a big role in keeping soil healthy. As they move through the earth, they create tunnels that let air and water reach plant roots. Their waste is also a natural fertilizer that helps plants grow better. Coral reefs are often called "the rainforests of the sea". Tiny coral animals build huge structures that provide food and shelter for about 25% of all ocean life. They protect coastlines from storms and support fishing industries around the world. These examples show that animals don't just live in nature — they actively help to keep nature balanced. Humans can learn a lot from them. Maybe we should start thinking of ourselves as part of nature, not as its owners. By watching and learning from animals, we can find better ways to live on this planet. 21. Why are beavers called "nature's engineers"? A. Because they can build houses for people. B. Because they build dams that help the environment. C. Because they are very clever animals. D. Because they can fix broken machines. 22. How do beaver dams help the environment? A. They make rivers flow faster. B. They stop all the fish from swimming. C. They create ponds and help prevent flooding. D. They clean the water in the river. 23. What do earthworms do for the soil? A. They eat all the plants. B. They make the soil hard and dry. C. They create tunnels and provide natural fertilizer. D. They take water away from plant roots. 24. What percentage of ocean life depends on coral reefs? A. About 10%. B. About 25%. C. About 50%. D. About 75%. 25. What does the writer suggest humans should do? A. Build more factories. B. Learn from animals and see ourselves as part of nature. C. Catch more animals for food. D. Move animals to different places. 第三篇 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） A National Park in Danger Yellowstone National Park is one of the most famous parks in the world. It covers parts of three US states and is home to thousands of animals, including bears, wolves, and bison. Every year, millions of visitors come to see its amazing geysers, hot springs, and wildlife. However, Yellowstone is facing serious problems. Climate change is making temperatures rise, and there is less snow in winter. This means there is less water in rivers and lakes during summer. Many animals are finding it harder to survive. Forests are becoming drier, which leads to bigger and more dangerous wildfires. Another problem is the growing number of visitors. Too many people can disturb the animals and damage the fragile environment. Some visitors leave rubbish, get too close to wild animals, or walk in areas that are supposed to be protected. Park managers are now trying to find a balance between welcoming visitors and protecting the park's wildlife. A scientist who works in Yellowstone says, "We need to act now. If we don't do something about climate change and manage the number of visitors, we may lose some of the wonderful things that make Yellowstone special." The good news is that many people care deeply about Yellowstone. Volunteers help clean up the park, scientists study how to protect its animals, and local communities are working to reduce pollution. With enough effort, we can still save this national treasure. 26. Where is Yellowstone National Park? A. In Canada. B. In the UK. C. In the United States. D. In Australia. 27. What is one effect of climate change on Yellowstone? A. There is more snow in winter. B. Rivers and lakes have less water. C. More animals are coming to the park. D. The geysers are getting hotter. 28. How do too many visitors affect Yellowstone? A. They bring more food for animals. B. They help fight wildfires. C. They can disturb animals and damage the environment. D. They plant more trees in the park. 29. What does the scientist say we need to do? A. Close the park completely. B. Act now to protect the park. C. Build more roads in the park. D. Let more people visit each year. 30. What are people doing to help Yellowstone? A. Leaving more rubbish in the park. B. Moving animals to other countries. C. Volunteering, studying, and working to reduce pollution. D. Cutting down more trees. 三、语言知识运用（共两节，满分25分） 第一节 完形填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last summer, I had the chance to stay with my uncle's family in a small village near a nature reserve.

The water was so clear that we could see fish swimming at the bottom. We sometimes collected wild flowers and 33 them back home to decorate our room. One day, my uncle took me to the nature reserve. A guide showed us around and 34 many things about the local wildlife. We saw a group of deer 35 in the distance. They looked so free and peaceful. The guide told us that the reserve was created to 36 these animals from disappearing. On our way back, we met some volunteers who were planting trees on the hillside. They said they came every weekend to help 37 the forest. I was deeply moved by their 38 . I joined them and planted three small trees. My uncle smiled and said, "Every tree 39 . One day, these will become a beautiful forest." That experience changed the way I think about nature. I used to think nature was something far away, but now I 40 that we are all part of it.

When we throw away things that could be recycled, they often end 46 in landfills or in the ocean. This harms the environment and the animals 47 live there. There are many small changes we can make to live more 48 (harmonious) with nature. For example, instead of 49 (use) plastic bags, we can bring our own cloth bags when shopping. We can also save water by turning off the tap while 50 (brush) our teeth. These little actions may seem unimportant, but if everyone 51 (do) them, the difference would be huge. My family has started 52 (make) some changes at home. We separate our rubbish and recycle paper, glass, and plastic. My father 53 (ride) his bike to work instead of driving. My mother grows vegetables in our garden 54 (cut) down on food waste. I even started a small project at school to teach others about living green. Living with nature doesn't mean giving 55 modern comforts. It simply means being more careful about the choices we make every day. Small actions can lead to big changes if we all work together. 五、书面表达（共1题，满分20分） 保护环境，与自然和谐共处是每个人的责任。请以"How I Live with Nature"为题，写一篇英语短文，谈谈你在日常生活中是如何与自然相处的。 要求： 1. 语句通顺，意思连贯，书写工整； 2. 文中不得出现真实的姓名、校名； 3. 词数80词左右； 4. 内容可包括： - 你如何看待人与自然的关系？ - 你在日常生活中做了哪些对环境有益的事？ - 你的感受或未来的打算？ How I Live with Nature _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案与解析 一、听力部分 第一节 1-5: C C A C C 第二节 6-10: C C A A C 第三节 11-15: B B B B B 听力原文 第一节 听句子，选最佳答语 Text 1: What kind of TV programmes do you like?

First, I always turn off the lights when I leave a room to save energy. Second, I bring my own cloth bag when I go shopping to reduce the use of plastic. Third, I separate my rubbish so that paper, glass, and plastic can be recycled. I also enjoy planting flowers and vegetables with my family in our small garden. Doing these things makes me feel happy and proud. I know that my small actions can make a difference. In the future, I want to learn more about how to protect nature and share my knowledge with others. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
