It is the process of turning waste paper into new paper products. Paper recycling is very important for our environment. Every year, millions of trees are cut down to make paper. By recycling paper, we can save trees and reduce waste. How is paper recycled? First, waste paper is collected from homes, schools, and offices. Then, it is taken to a recycling plant. At the plant, the paper is mixed with water to make a pulp (纸浆). The pulp is cleaned to remove ink and other materials. After that, the pulp is pressed and dried to make new paper. What kinds of paper can be recycled? Most types of paper can be recycled, such as newspapers, magazines, cardboard boxes, and office paper. However, some paper cannot be recycled. For example, paper that is too wet or dirty, like pizza boxes with grease (油脂), should not be put into recycling bins. Recycling paper has many benefits. It saves energy because making new paper from recycled material uses less energy than making it from trees. It also reduces air pollution and saves space in landfills (垃圾填埋场). What can you do to help? You can start by making sure you put your waste paper into the correct bin. You can also try to use less paper in your daily life. For example, use both sides of a piece of paper when you write or print. Every small action counts. If everyone recycles paper, our planet will be a cleaner and greener place. 23. What is the main topic of this passage? A. How to make paper from trees. B. The process and benefits of paper recycling. C. Different kinds of paper products. D. The history of paper making. 24. According to the passage, which of the following paper should NOT be recycled? A. Newspapers. B. Magazines. C. Cardboard boxes. D. Pizza boxes with grease. 25. What can we do to help with paper recycling? A. Throw all paper into one bin. B. Use both sides of a piece of paper. C. Buy more paper products. D. Stop reading newspapers. B Did you know that honey never spoils? Archaeologists (考古学家) have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old. The honey was still perfectly good to eat. This is because honey has a very low water content and is acidic (酸性的). Bacteria (细菌) cannot live in honey, so it can last forever. Honey is made by honeybees. Bees collect nectar (花蜜) from flowers. They carry the nectar back to their hive (蜂巢) and store it in honeycombs. Then, they fan the nectar with their wings to evaporate (蒸发) the water. When the water content is low enough, the bees seal the honeycombs with wax. Honey is not only delicious but also good for your health. It can help with sore throats and coughs. Many people use honey as a natural remedy for colds. Honey also contains antioxidants (抗氧化剂) that help protect your body from diseases. However, honey is not safe for babies under one year old. It can contain a type of bacteria that is harmful to babies. Their immune systems are not strong enough to fight the bacteria. There are many different types of honey. The color and taste of honey depend on the flowers that the bees visited. For example, clover honey is light and mild, while buckwheat honey is dark and strong. Next time you eat honey, remember the amazing process that bees went through to make it. Honey is truly a gift from nature. 26. Why does honey never spoil? A. Because it is very sweet. B. Because bacteria cannot live in it. C. Because it is stored in tombs. D. Because it is made by bees. 27. How do bees remove water from the nectar? A. They heat it with fire. B. They fan it with their wings. C. They put it in the sun. D. They add wax to it. 28. Why should babies under one year old NOT eat honey? A. Because it is too sweet. B. Because it can cause stomachaches. C. Because their immune systems cannot fight some bacteria in honey. D. Because they do not like the taste. 29. What does the color of honey depend on? A. The age of the bees. B. The size of the hive. C. The flowers that the bees visited. D. The amount of water in the honey. C In many countries, people celebrate "World Environment Day" on June 5th. This day is set aside to raise awareness about environmental issues and encourage people to take action to protect our planet. The first World Environment Day was held in 1974. Since then, it has become a global event. Every year, a different country hosts the official celebrations. The theme of World Environment Day changes every year. Past themes have focused on issues such as climate change, plastic pollution, and biodiversity (生物多样性). On this day, people around the world organize various activities. Some people plant trees in their communities. Others organize clean-up events at beaches or parks. Schools and companies hold educational events to teach people how to reduce waste and save energy. One of the biggest environmental problems today is plastic waste. Every year, millions of tons of plastic end up in the ocean. This is harmful to sea animals. Many animals mistake plastic for food and die. World Environment Day encourages people to reduce their use of single-use plastics, such as plastic bags and water bottles. The theme for a recent World Environment Day was "Beat Plastic Pollution". It reminded people that we can all make small changes in our daily lives to help solve this problem. You do not need to wait until June 5th to help the environment. Every day is a good day to recycle, save water, and turn off lights when you leave a room. If we all work together, we can make the world a better place. 30. When is World Environment Day celebrated? A. March 12th. B. June 5th. C. July 1st. D. October 1st. 31. What is the purpose of World Environment Day? A. To celebrate the birthday of a famous scientist. B. To raise awareness about environmental issues. C. To sell new products. D. To organize sports games. 32. According to the passage, why is plastic waste harmful to sea animals? A. Because it is too heavy. B. Because it is bad for their health. C. Because many animals mistake it for food and die. D. Because it makes the water salty. 33. What does the author encourage us to do in the last paragraph? A. Only help the environment on June 5th. B. Wait for others to solve environmental problems. C. Take small actions every day to help the environment. D. Stop using all plastic products immediately. D Have you ever wondered why people yawn (打哈欠)? Scientists have studied this question for many years, but no one has found a final answer. There are several theories (理论) about why we yawn. The oldest theory is that yawning helps us get more oxygen (氧气). When we yawn, we take a deep breath. This brings fresh oxygen into our blood and removes carbon dioxide (二氧化碳). This theory seemed logical, but experiments showed that people who exercise and get more oxygen do not yawn less often. Another theory is that yawning helps us cool down our brain. The brain is like a computer. When it works hard or gets too hot, it needs to cool down. A deep yawn brings cool air into the body, which helps lower the temperature of the brain. This theory is supported by some experiments. For example, people yawn more often in warm weather than in cold weather. The most interesting theory is about social behavior. Have you noticed that yawning is contagious (传染性的)? If someone in a room yawns, other people will often yawn soon after. This may be a sign of empathy (共情). Studies show that people who have a strong ability to feel what others feel are more likely to catch a yawn. So, next time you see someone yawn, do not be surprised if you yawn too. It might be your brain trying to cool down or your way of showing empathy to others. Scientists are still working to understand this common action. 34. According to the passage, why is the oxygen theory not fully accepted? A. It is too old. B. Experiments showed that getting more oxygen does not reduce yawning. C. It cannot be tested by scientists. D. Yawning is only for social reasons. 35. What does the "brain cooling" theory suggest? A. Yawning helps the brain get more food. B. Yawning helps lower the temperature of the brain. C. Yawning is a sign of being tired. D. Yawning happens only in cold weather. 36. Which of the following statements is TRUE about contagious yawning? A. It is only observed in animals. B. It may be related to empathy. C. It happens only when people are bored. D. It is a sign of illness. 四、还原信息(共 4 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 6 分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Many people believe that homework is a necessary part of school life.

They cover only about 6% of the planet's surface, but they are home to over half of the world's plants and animals. The Amazon Rainforest in South America is the largest rainforest in the world. Rainforests help control the Earth's climate. They absorb carbon dioxide, a gas that causes global warming, and produce oxygen. Scientists call rainforests the "lungs of the Earth". Rainforests are also important because they are home to many amazing animals. Some of these animals, like the jaguar and the sloth, cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Many medicines also come from plants that grow only in rainforests. Unfortunately, rainforests are disappearing. People cut down trees to make room for farms, roads, and cities. Every year, an area of rainforest the size of a small country is destroyed. If we do not protect rainforests, many animals will become extinct (灭绝). The air will become more polluted, and the Earth will get hotter. What can you do to help? You can buy products made from recycled materials. You can also tell your friends and family about the importance of rainforests. Every small action can make a difference. 41.

First, we should sort garbage because it can help save resources and reduce pollution. For example, some waste can be recycled to make new things. Second, we should separate trash into four types: recyclable waste, kitchen waste, harmful waste, and other waste. We can put different garbage into different bins. Here are my suggestions. We should put up posters in our school to teach students how to sort garbage. Also, we can hold activities to help more people understand the importance of garbage sorting. If everyone does a good job, our environment will be much better. Let's take action together! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
