It turns soil into desert and reduces farmland.China has made a great start in dealing with it by planting millions of trees and grass.These plants help fix the soil and stop it from turning into desert.To save water in dry areas,people reuse water for watering plants and repair leaking taps quickly.Fighting desertification isn't easy-all countries need to work together.Some countries share technology on water- saving farming,while others send volunteers to plant trees.People also learn to use natural resources wisely to avoid making the problem worse.Though progress is slow,everyone's effort counts.It reminds us that protecting the planet is a common task,and we must keep working hard. 【参考答案】 1-5 ABCBB 6-10 CACBB 11-15 ABCBA 16-20 CCBAB 第一单元学情调研试卷 -、1-5 DDCBA6-10 ACDAD 二、11-15 BCBDA16-20 AADBB 21-25 BCABC 三、(A)26-28ABA(B)29-32CBAD (C)33-35 CCD (D)36-40 CDBDA 四、41-45 DACGF 五、46.ancient47.records48.developed 49.shapes 50.both 51.best 52.difficult 53.top 54.become 55.its 六、56.at the very heart of57.has increased 58.theme park 59.make a living 60.fell in love with 61.the key to 62.a wealth of 63.as well 64.less 65.education 课时提优计划作业本·英语 。6 七、66.Narrow and muddy.67.By growing rice and vegetables.68.Guest houses.69.To enjoy fresh air./To enjoy rural scenery.70.A local reporter. 八、One possible version: Dear Sir/Madam, I have recently seen a discussion activity in China Daily.Its topic is Change For a Better China,so I'm writing to tell you something about the changes of my town. I live in a small but beautiful town in the southern part of England.With many trees around,the air here is fresh and clean. However,it was not so beautiful in the past. Local people used to cut down trees to make fire,which caused serious air pollution.What's worse,some people threw waste into nearby rivers,leading to bad water pollution.To improve the situation,the local government made strict laws to stop these harmful activities.It also encouraged people to use clean energy,like solar power.From then on,the pollution problem has improved,and our town has become more and more beautiful. In my opinion,everyone should take action to protect the environment.

In recent years,the local government has given the village a lot of support to improve its development.They have built wide and smooth concrete roads connecting the village to the nearby town and a beautiful greenway along the clear river that runs through the village.Seeing the opportunity of rural tourism,villagers have transformed their old houses into clean and comfortable guest houses to receive tourists from cities.Many of them also sell their local products online,such as fresh fruits picked from their own orchards,delicious homemade pickles and delicate hand- made crafts. Now,the village has changed beyond recognition. Tourists come here every weekend to enjoy the fresh country air,beautiful natural scenery and authentic rural life.The living conditions of the villagers have improved a lot-they live in spacious houses,use modern electrical appliances and have a stable income.They are now enjoying a happier and more prosperous life.A local reporter once visited the village and wrote a detailed report,praising it as a perfect example of successful rural development in the region. 66.What were the roads like after rain in the village before? 67.How did villagers make a living in the past? 课时提优计划作业本·英语·八年级下册（连云港专版） ·4· 68.What did villagers turn their old houses into? 69.What do tourists come to the village for？(答案一条 即可) 70.Who once visited the village and praised it in a report? 八、书面表达（满分25分） 假设你叫马修(Matthew),是来自英国南部小镇的一名 学生，你从China Daily上看到该报正在开展主题为Change for a Better China的环保讨论活动。你打算结合自己所居住 的小镇的变化，给报社写一封英文信参与讨论。内容提示见 下表： 现在概况 在英国南部，空气清新，树木环绕。 过去状况 人们砍伐树木导致环境越来越差…（发挥至少一点） 应对措施 政府制定法律…（发挥至少一点） 感想建议 …(自拟至少一个感想或建议加以阐述) 注意事项： 1.词数100左右，信的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总 词数； 2.信中必须涉及上述内容并展开合理想象，使意思表达 更加完整。 Dear Sir/Madam, I have recently seen a discussion activity in China Daily.Its topic is Change For a Better China,so I'm writing to tell you something about the change of my town.
